INDIA.

The last private letters from India state that appre.
hmsitins were entertained of approaching hostilities
with the Nizam and the Peishwa, the two principal
remaining native potentates. These Princes, it seems,
had for some time displayed a very unfriendly dispo.
sition towards the British, and at length treated
our accredited 'Agents with such d,srespert, that
they felt themselves bound to retire from both :he
Courts. Immediate remonstrances on our part were
of course ordered to be srmde I end ;n 0.• vvilUi
due sattabction not being afforded, ho.tilites would
be commenced against both those Powers. The
necessary preparations had already been made, and
all Officers had been ordered to join their respec-
tive corps.

The following is an extract of a letter from Be-
nares, dated June 20, 1315 :

66 The political state of this country is at.present
beyond an our comprehension. I suppose you must
have been astonished to hear that we were involved
in war in this country, just when it was finished in
Europe. It would be superfluous to say thing onl
that subject, as the public accounts of the progress of
it are more accurate than I can pretend to be ; but
the immense preparations made, and still making,
astonish every one. Surely something of much gleaterl
magnitude must be in contemplation than the re -uc-
tion of Nepaul. The Madras army, notwithstanding
the assertions in the newspapers to she contrary, are
still in the field. I saw a letter yesterday, dated June
4, from an officer of high rank in the Madras army.
wherein he says they are encamped on a high grouie.
near Akoula, where they are to remain doting the
rains. The Bombay army are gone to Janina, which
I believe is about 150 miles from Akonla. The two
armies amount to about 30,000 men.
a six Regular illattalions have been added to the
Army in Bengal - ' 6

each Native Battalion have formed Into Grenadier Bat-
talion., and these Grenadier Comp els. replaced in
the Battalions by Recruits

" Ten Men have hem added to web Company of 54

Increase of Men 47,800
• •
Besides from 15,000 to 20,00 Irregulars are taken Ina pay.

-fa Where this force is to be employed I am at a
lots to conjecture, unless it be the subjugation of the
Mahratta States, or rather the obligiiig them to re-
ceive a subsidiary force. Their Pindaries have been
robbing, murdering, and burning, all that cf me in
their way, for these last five years, in our provinces.
It therefore becomes necessary to take steps to pre-
vent such practices in future, and the only way is to
make these petty Princes responsible, as it is not
possible for regular troops to follow them, at the
time of the year they make their appearance, gene.
rally in the hot winds. We heard of their depteda-
tions at Saugur, in Bundlecund, a few days since.
I must now leave this subject to die London politi-
cians, who, most probably, by this time, know mom
of the matter than we de.—*L'he country lately taken
from the Goorkat, ii repotted to be in a very fine
climate, and abounding with many articles of pro-'
duce, the same as in Europe.
66 In a letter received here lately from Alnico*, it
was stated, the weather was so cold the lattei rod of
Nl:ty, that they could maids any I init. 'of the day, 1
without inconvenience, with their nropean clothing
