'Tite latest accounts from the Deckan state, that
Elphir.stone is erected at Poonah early in Sep-
tember, from Kandeiat, where every thing is at pre,
sent quiet.

It gives retch pleasure in stating, we believe;
from the most authentic sources, that, Durmajee (the
Chief so gallantly captured by 141ent. Sutherlard, at
Daby, in the beginning of this inenth) is the identical
person to whom the murders of the two brothers of
!the name of Vaughan, Lieutenants in the Madras,
!army, is to be ascribed; we must hope, if this is fully
proved, that he will meet the punishment he so justly
merits.—lt appears that Sir John Malcolm has found
it necessary to accompany the ex-Yeis.hwa a part of
the way to the place of his destination—on the 26th,
of July, they were at Kutchrode, and were proceed-
ing along the banks of tha Chuntbul, to the Man!
&so: district, where the separation will most likely
take place.
AUGUST 22.—Accounts frbm Bombay state, that
the fort of Moolheir has surrendered to the force
under the command of Colonel Macdowall, which
completes the conquest of the province of Kandeish,
and terminates the war is the Peishwa's late domi-
nions.—Accounts from the Eastward state, that the;
city of Rangoon had been nearly destroyed by fire,
on the 29th of May. It is added, that a band of
thieves, amountiog to two hundred, taking advan-
tage of the confusion that took 'place, plundered the
houses of many of the European inhabitants, in open,_,
day • and though the leader of this band was disco.
vered, his interest with the Government enabled him
o escape with impunity.

CALCUTTA, AUGUST S.
Intelligeoce brought by the ship Laurel, lately art.,'
:ived from New South %Vales, Amboyna, and Ba-j
tavia.:—The brig Greyhound arrived at Port Jackson
from this port, a few days before the Laurel sailed,
The ship Frederick had proceeded from the Derwentl
to the Mauritius, with sheep, 8:c. . •

The ship Supply, having been on a trading voyages
from Batavia to the eastward, had put into Bima.'
Bay, in the early part of May. She was attacked by;
a number of piratical prows, which continued firing
for a considerable time ; a shot struck the Supply,
between the rudder and stern-post, and, lodging
'there, rendered her uernanageable. From this acct-
dent she got on shore, and the • pirates proceeded to
board ; when Captain Baynes commenced a heavy
fire from his stern-guns. During the firing the ship
got off, and the shot also worked out ; by which cir-
cumstance they were enabled to make sail, and stand
out of the bay. When the Supply arrived at Am-
boyna, there were twenty-three shot holes in her
I sides ; the largest shot weighed 241 b. and a number
of double-headed shot were about her main-chains—
The pirates have become vcry daring, and cruise
between the Carimon and Taggal.
The Laurel saw the wreck of a small brig on the
Angenella reef to the northward of Batavia. The
mast and pht of the keel of a ship were also to be seen
on the Woerden shoal, which lies to the S. W. of
Pooloo Racket. The name of the vessel reduced to
this deplorable state of wreck is not known.
Thy/tides have been running with extraordinary
rapidity in the Hoogly lately, and some damage has.
been done among the shipping.

The Paris Papers of Saturday arrived this fore-
noon.—The KING had, on New Year's Day, a very
brilliant Levee, at which he received the customary
felicitations of all the Public Bodies and Functiona-
ries, Foreign Ministers, &c.
M. Mtßavi., who was Secretary-General to the
Ministry of Police which has been suppressed, has
been appointed by an Ordonuance of his MAJP.STY,
Secretary-General to the Ministry of the Interior.
Acconnts, from which we subjoin some extract:,
have been received from Madrid to the 19111 alt. ac
cording to which nothing but the most profound
ltrainkuillity reigned at that date throughout t):e ,1a)
minions of FERDINAND, and instead of agitating re-1
farms, and plotting revolutions, his good subjects
were wholly employed in lively speculations al.out
the pregnancy of his beloved QL anil the pro-
bable chances of her giving a male or a fc male Heir
to the Spanish Crown.
Some surprise is affected to be expressed that Eng-1
which knows better than any other Power in
ruff< pc the physical and moral situation of Spain,
should be always the readiest to give credit to ru-
mours of revolutions in that country. The circum-
stance admits, we think, of a very easy explanation.
At there is no power which is better acquainted with
the state of Spain than England, there is none that
knows so well the miserably-degraded l condition to
which the people of Spain have been reduced, by a
weak, ccrrupt, and bisected. Government—none
which can have a stronger conviction cf the certainty
that such misery and misrule must soon come to their
natural crisis—and none which, from the enlightened,
liberal, and generous character of its citizens, is more
disposed to sympathize with the hopes cf a• people
stut:ggling to be tree, and to lend a willing ear to
every thing that 'peaks of their success.

`. We are favoured in the same account* with some
I 'intelligence from Mexico, where also, if we may be-
lieve ar.y thing that issues from the Madrid pressott
the subject of American Affairs, a wondbrful degree:
of prevails. Father TORRES, however,
,svh6 l!as been so often taken,-killed, and quartered, is,
admittrci to be still roaming= large, and in stiength'
ityfficieat to act on the offensive against what
nick-named ILIA Armies.
