INDIES.

CALcUtTA, JANUARY in. •
On Sunday accounts teethed town, stating the toes
Of the Duchets of Wellington, which was totally de-
stroyed by fire on Saturday evening in Sauger-roads.
The origin of this sad accident is only a matter of
suspicion. The fire burst forth about ten o'clock at
night, and burst with such rapidity that the saltpetre
cargo exploded in about ten minutes, and the ship
being shattered and divided, sunk immediately. It
is painflll to relate, that the pilot, two officers, two
p issengers, and many of the crew, perished in conse-
quence of the rapid conflagration, which deprived
them of the ordinary chances of escape. The pilot,
,Mr. 'lamer, and the first and third mates, were en-
gaged in taking off the hatches, in the hope of extin-
guishing the fire, when the flames burst forth with
such dreadful violence, they were compelled to desist,
and instantly fled. Mr. Heron, the second mate,
ran towards the head of the ship, and the pilot with
the others towards the poop, an which the pilot was
seen standing when the saltpetre in the after part of
the Vessel exploded, and destroyed all within the vor-
tex of its fiery gulph. The fate of Mr. William An.
derson, and the distress of his brother, Mr. David
Anderson, both passengers, proceeding to Java, it is
afflicting to contemplate. Mr. David Anderson saw
his brother after the fire had burst forth, and shook
hands with him while he was standing in the shrouds,
whence in a few moments he was precipitated into
the deep, never to rise again!
The following is a List of the Officers and Passen-
gers, which we have reason to believe is quite COrreat

Some of the crew belonging to the Duchess of
Wellington have been apprehended. mid are detained
suspicion of having set the vessel on fire. In most
cases whete ships ate burnt in this river, thete has been
reason to believe that the Lascars (who teceive impress
money in advance for several months) have been in-
strumental in their destruction. We have lately seen
an excellent Ow, which is now under consideration,
whereby the Lascars may be protected from the ins-
quaous system of extortion so long practised in Cal-
cutte, and the owners of vessels ensured against the
frequent chance of loss by fire; as it provides, that in
all cases when ships are burnt, the native seamen be.
bowing to them shall he detained to complete their
stipulated term of sir vie.• in some other manner. •
BOMBAY, NOVEMBER 18.
Accouils have reached the Presidency from Ceylon
of a mutiny on board the brig Sally and Mary, Cap-
tain Duncan, from Calcutta, hound to the 'Mauritius.
The mutineers, it seems, made a desperate attack
upon the officers and passengers, during which lau:11
the Captain and Lieutenant Robinson, of the 4th
Ceylon Regiment, were dangerously wounded : they
were. however, repulsed; when the ringleader, a Ma-
lay, jumpe 1 overboaid, and the others wet e secured.
The villain is supposed to have reached the shore
sear Bottscalaa, wire vre tryst he will be apprehen-
ded. and with hie companions in iniquity suffer the ,
just punishment of the law for so heiiious a clinic.
In consequence of die mutiny, the Captain was obliged
to put into Trincomalee.
Drcauseu 2. Accounts reached the Presidency,
in the caurse of the week, that an unpleasant distur-
bance had taken place in the battalion of the etch
regiment stationed at Ring:dote : some discontent had
been excited, as we are informed, amongst the sol-
diers, in consequence of a regulation relative to the
eas;ply of spirits to them, which they did not like.
The di,contents were, however, speedily quelled, and
two or three of the principal persons concerned in
fomenting them have, we sear, been tried by Courts
Martial, and sentenced to death ; and the battalion
has been promptly restored to its foimer state of trail-
qnillity and geed discipline.
FEBRUARY 21.—A Treaty of Alliance, we hear,
has been concluded wick the State of Cinch. the el-
teeth of nhicli cannot fail of proving beneficial to that
country, and equilly so to its neighbours. A division
of Colonel East's has been detached, tinder the com-
mand of Lieutenant-Colonel Barclay, to Wagur, fur
the purpose of reducing that uncivilized province to
the authority of the Rao of Cutch, its legitimate So.
vereign. and of destroying all the fastnesses tallith
aff,ad protection to the Banditti, whose depredations
have sroved so destructive to the territories of the
Guycawar and the Paisbwa. We hear that the fort-
ress of Kunkakote has already unconditionally sur-
rendered to the Governs ent of Cocchi and that its
fortifications have been razed to their foundation.
FAOM VIA BOMBAY GAZETTE,' FEBRUARY 17.
By letters from the Northward, we learn that a
force, under the command of Colonel East, had en-
tered the province of Cinch, for the purpose statect in
the proclamation which lately appeared in the Courier,
and had taken Anjar. situate about two marches from ,
Bhooj, the capital of Cinch. to which place we under-
stand the force was to advance. It was intended to
have moved directly to the capital, but the enemy
having had recourse to the diabolical expedient of
poisoning the wells and tanks situate in the route,
Colonel East deemed it prudent to secure Anjar,
which surrendered after a breach had been effected
by the batteries, which played on the fort from ten in
the morning till two in the eveni: Every measure
had been adopted to warn the chieftains of Cutch
against the consespences of adopting a system of de-
struction not justified by the law of nations. The
villagers, much to their honour, communicated the
circumstance to our officers, and the tanks having
been searched, bags of arseeic were found, which bad
been thrown into them to poison the water. Cornet
De Litricey, of his Majesty's 17th Dragoons, we are
concerned to hear, has lost his tight arm by a shot
froM the fort: we have not beard of any other casualty.

4(tvices ivached town froth Cape doist Catile
to the 22d of April last. For some time previous to
if* date, comiderable alarm had been excited in the
' Fintee countninhabiting the sea-coast, and amongst
the. British resilient at the several settlements, at the
hostile appearakes of the Ashantee army, which had
encamped at the back of Accra, and being deter-
mined oa coming into the Fantee country, for tie
purpose, as the leader stated, of possessing himself of
the persons of glow, Saffaroutchie, Cudjoe Coomah,
and Coffee, Ashlntee men, whose conduct had given
much offence to :he King of Ashantee.
The Ashantee forces, amounting to upwards of
20,000 men, were met by the people of Adjumou-
coo:Lb and •Agocush, who, after fighting bravely,
were entirely routed, with the loss of many killed,
and sevetal made prisoners. The Ashantees eke
had many killed. The Fantees, on learning the ap-
proach of the Ashantees, assembled in great numbersl
to give them battle ; but their resolution failed them,
and they were happy to save themselves by flight.—
Men, women, and children, fled in crowds to Cape
Coast Castle for slielter ; and about the 14th, the
Ashantees still confirming to proceed towards the
coast, messengers were sent by the Governor in Chief
of the British settlements to the Captain, to inquire
the cause of his approach,. The answer returned
was to the purport, that he was determined to pnrshe
"Quow, Safi truutclaie, Cudjoe Coomah, and Coffee,
Ashantee men, to whatever place they might retreat;
in fact, that should they throw themselves into the
sea, bury themselves in the eatth, or secrete them.
selves in a rock, thither be would follow them.

On a conference being obtained, the Captain of
the Ashantee army was assured that the men he was
in quest of were not in Cain Town. Being satisfied
on this point, the Captain had nothing further to re-',
quire than that certain person, he should name, ac-
quainted wits► the reingres and the manner of their
escape, might attend him' in his search for the runa-
ways. After some preliminaries were agreed to, the
persons accompanied the Captain. Up to the 2lst
of April, the refugees had not been found; but though
the people of Cape Coast Town and the Fantees had
been so fortunate as to make their peace with the
Ashantees, by paying to them 100 ounces of gold,
and reciprocal oaths of friendship were the conse-
quence, the army which was then in camp would im-
mediately prOceed in quest of the proscribed meth
