EAST INDILS.

CALCUTTA GOVERNMENT GAZETtI., Amu. W.
.1
Accounts from the banks of the NerhudJa of the
middle of last month state, that the intrepid Captain
Caulfield had again distinguished himself in a vac.
cessful attack on the Pindarees. Having received',
accurate information of the encampment of the leader,
Shrikli Doleali, at the heal of a large body of horse,
lie marched with alacrity to the spot, in command of
two companies of the lOth, and a squadron of ca-
valry, and came upon them near Hendia, without
being perceived till liOas in ;rho welds' of them.—
They iminediately tusked iriM the'Nerbudda, in the
hope, 01 tor:ling that river, but ii the attempt a very
consid.:teb:e number verecutlo pieces, or drowned,
aad Ow Chief is .opposed to be among those who fell
on the occasion.
The Jypoor Uldihars mention a circumstance
which may be considered an entire novelty in the
Modern history of Indian warfare, and as biii4,ing to
light a stamp of character, and a peculiarity of con-
duct, hitherto wholly unknown to the painters of
Asiatic manners. For unnumbered ages past, the
fair dames of the East have been condemned to waste
their lives •in a species of gloomy and unsocial sod..
taste, cut 01l hom all intercourse with the worid,.and
taught t, measure all their joys by the extent Of their
threw L. Hence the epithet of prods-nvskon, or
sitter behind the curtain, commonly used as the ap-
pellatise of virtuous women, es contrasted with that
41 prods der, or curtain render, applied to one of dis-
solute coaracter. Dire, however, and hopeless Is
this tuner, sal thraldom appeared to be, the Lady of
the c..1.4.r.:ted John Baptiste has been bold enough to
emancipate herself from it, and to set an example.
by tb. imitation of which those of her own sex may
assume all the hardier viruses of their lords and mas-
ter!. W. are told that this stately virago has lately
put hetstif at the head of I.er husband's army, laid
siege to and made herself master of the fort of Shea-
poor, in spite of a vigorous defence, and the use cf

ctahm I I•A GOVERNMENT 04ETTE. Await 17.
We are happy to learn that the Insurgents in Cut-
tack had abandoned their intention of proceeding to
Jaggernaut to secure the person of the Rajah ; for
although no apprehension could be enuatained re-
garding the issue of tbeie•opishititins, a rencontre
might have been the occasion of mut+ bloodshed.—
They had, however, beep autprising,ly active invols-
structing the passes, by a.surt of, pOckasie, in the
wooded and hilly part of the district in which they
bad assembled, and the detachments that had been
• sent out to check their progress found great difficulty
iii their attempts to reach them, and were obliged to
retain for want of supplies; those that were sent
after them, together with the tents and baggage,
having been cut off by the enemy. It was in an
effort to forage w.th a small party tor the detachment
- under Lieutenant Prideaux. in a village not supposed
to be in the occupation of the insurgents, that Lieu-
tenant Faris met with his lamented tate. He, acid a
Soubadar, at the head of about 50 men, are said to
have been shut by some rebels who were skulking
behind a wall. The body of the unfortunate e.fficei
was instantly placed in his palankeen ; but while the
bearers were carrying it off one of them was killed,
and the remainder, unable to procaut ged from the
scene of action. The village where this unhappy
circumstance occurred is called lgongparah, and is
about a kos from Khoordah. As the party retreated
ftem the jungle they fired two willies upon the rioters,
by which several were killed and lei:mode+ . .
Lieutenant Prideaux, having no -grain, retired
upon Piply, and arrived there in the night, after
fighting the whole day, and having in his progress
forced eleven stockades.
The Magistrate, anxious to inquire into the causer
of the revolt, had taken an escortof 64 men; but
hearing that Lieutenant Prideaux had gone to Piply,
Lieutenant Travis, the officer in command, forced
his way to Baleattee, killing and wonadiag several
of the insurgents, who attempted to okstruct his
March. On hearing of die retreat of LieotenantPri-
shim, Colotel O'Halloran sent die Ist battalion of
the Nth Regiment, with guns, under Captain Le
FM!, who proceeded to Untreelb, where be re-
mained two days-a but nimble to imitate the neces-
sary supplies, be was obliged to remiss and encamp-
ed en the west hank of the river Citjarah.
Our letters of the that state, that with great exer-
tion and nativity grave seffscient for fifteen days, and
MX/ bullocks, bad been colleeted, and that Captain
.Le Fevre advanced on Khooidah that da).
.Jugbundoo appears to retain the command of the
Teich, and coottasses evading parties from Khoordah
isdifierent directions to plunder the houses of the
Daroghas end Tehsildats. They had burnt and de-
stroyed the rester part of Piply, and then retired
within the Pergannah, which is said to be in waiver-
uil agitation and revolt.
CUtTACE, MARCH M.

Theinimediate sense of she disturbances appears
to.have been the irruption of sr parity of marauders,
supposed from the Halitatta-frontier, which had en.
tend the Cuttack diarkt, through Goomsir, and
being joined by a" multitude of vagabonds from the
pergennah of Kboordah, the iusurrection soon as-
soloed an alarming character. The town of Khoar-
daft having been taken by them, the gathering rabble,
armed with spears and matchlocks, proceeded to
Petrify, situated mid- way between the town of Cuttack
sad Jaggrrn.ith, with the view of cutting off the
communication between those places, and particularly
of securing the person of the Rajah of Khoordah,
who is the high priest of the temple, and hereditary
sweeper to the great. Idol. Having got possession
91. Piply, a party of diem was dispatched to Jagger-1
oath, wherethe Rajah resides ; but in the mean time
Captain Wallington, with the detach:wilt under his
command, bad arrived there, aod.posted himself in
the town, to frustrate the object of °the insurgents.
Letters have been received of the,fith inst. but no
rencontse had taken place between them at that
period. We regret to observe, that an officer, Lieu-
tenant Faris, in charge of a restiforcunient of troops,
bad been killed iu attempting to cut his Way through
die rebel 'party.
MADRAS COURIER, MAY :It

We are induced to copy the following account of
the progress uf ate Insurgents in L.Nattack,o !tens the

Ookiena tiaotiontint ;Mahe, on scEonnt the per '
ral interest occasioned by tke disturbances in that
quarter. No doubt was entertained that, on the ar-
rival of the reinforcements onxgfr way to the dis-
turbed districts, stanquillity be immediately
restored: mhiof General Gabriel MartindellhAs been
appointed to command in Cuttack, and was about to
priiceed immediately to that quarter. We now give
the article alleded to above

44 Area. 24.—The Ist battalion of the 18th regi-
ment, which marched from Cuttack on the 10th to
Khoordah, tinder Captain Le Fevre, would in its
progress pass tbrovgli Gongparah, where Lieute-
nant Faris was killed, and we trust that the conduct
of the inhabitants on that unhappy occasion will not
escape unpunished.
" The Mawstrate had proclaimed martial law in
Khoordah —terry thing was quiet at Pooree on the
filth, the match of Captain Le Fevre having drawn
the insurgents from that neighbourhood. Ti.: dis-
turbances does not eatendbeyond Klmordah. Lambe.
lee, and Koordyse. Letters of the 14th mention, that
ats companies and teoi,uns were expected from Mid-
oavore, and a detachment of Rohilla horse had been
directed to march to assist in quelling the insurrec-
tion and establishing tranquillity.
We have already observed that the Rajah of
Khoordali,•.Mukoond Den, is the high priest of the '
temple of Jaggernaut ; he is also the keeper of the
wardrobe of the Idol: We understand that soon
after the conquest of Cattack, the pergunnah of
Koordals was rental kable for its disaffection and hos-
tility to the British Government, and fell into such a
state of revolt and contusion that it was found ne-
cessary, forthe purpose of securing trauquidity at
the time, to take charge of the person of the Rajah,
then a young man, at'4l retain him in custody at
Midnoix.re ; his name and influence having, while
he was At large, served to foster and increase the re-
sistance of Ins people.
" After all opposition hid been subdued, and na
the emancipation of the Rajah Ctoin restraint, the
liberality ut Government was strongly shewn itt
restoring him to his hereditary functions in the tem-1
ple ; but as there might. have been great danger in
recommitting to him the management and control
of the perguanah of Khoordah, so recently the scene
of tumult and disaffection, he was allowed a Mali-
'taint, of twtaty.four per cent. which is more than
4mable the amou.:t given in ordinary Cases ; and fur-
ther to testify the consideration and indulgence of
Government, he was permitted to bold the Talook
of Larnbalee.

in the recent transactions the multitude seem to
have been hurtled on by revenge, and the expecta-
tion of re-establishing the Rajah in his ancient rights,
as private property does nut appear to have been
touci.ed. But it is said that one of the D4rofrhas,
or Tehsilders, has been plundered of about 40,00 U
rupees. Rajbundot., the principal leader in the in-
surrection, has been proclaimed, and R reward of-
I feted for his person. He was the Bukbsee of Khoor-
dah under the Rajah, during the blabratta Govern-
ment, and vainly imagines that his rebellious move-
malts will terminate in the restoration of the old
regime, in which he and his followers had derived,'
and would again derive, the greatest advantage.

" Since the above was written we have received
further accounts from Cuttack to the 16th. It ap-
pears that Captain Wallington had fortified .Me.
Busby's bungalow at Jaggernauth, and had our.
rounded his little camp by a snud wall about seven
feet high. He had thrown out wickets on every stdr,
and was well prepared against attack. The party,
i:cluding civil servants, police officers, camp fol-
lowers, and domestics, was very inednsidt rabic, and
they had with them swot 50,000 rupees or-public
treasure. On the 13th, stveral columns of the in-
surgents rushed forward to attack Fort Busby, but
they were soon obliged to retire with some loss. They.
however made another attempt, led on by the son of
the Dewan of the Kboordalr ttajal►, armed with two
large jinjals, matchlock, bows and arrow►, and ham.
boos: In this rencontre, having Lost seventeen in
killed and about one hundred wounded, they again
precipitately retired, and were pursued by Lieute-
nant Patterson to the skirts of the town. Sur were
taken prisoners. from whose deposition it would ap.
pear that the Rajah is the strain spring of the diner.
bane& The carriages of the jinjals were lett behind.
Captain Le Fevre, in command of the battalion, had
been fired repair in Khoordah. He had burnt the vil-
lage of Gongparab, which had been deserted, to the
ground. The insurgents avoided coming to an en•
garment, but kept hanging upon his rear.

Jugbundoo being informed of the discomfiture
of the parties which had proceeded against Captain
Wallington's force, immediately pushed on to Jag.
gernaoth at thrbead of thousands of insurgents. It
appears that a great quantity of arms bad been eon.,
cealed at Poorest, which were now distributed w the
rabble, who, having surrounded Fort Busby and
placed picquets in every direction, began to erect a
battery with two great guns. The daring leader,'
, Bushed with his success, had takeu possession of the'
Collector's Cotchery, and was levying cuntributioas
on the pilgrims. Captain Wallington believing it
t impossible, with his small force, to wake any
sion on so numerous and formidable a multitude,
thought it prudent to retire with the treasure under
his charge. He marched off in the middle of the
night, luckily Rot clear of the town to the sea side,
without being observed, and reached Cuttack en the
16th. Mr. Becher, Mr. ICang, and the other gee:
tlemao, had also arrived -in safety. fliey were,
'however, frequently fired at in their progress, but
fortunately no casualty had occurred. Two of our
Sepoys who undertook to go to Poorest as spies had
been betrayed. One was instantly killed, and the
other spiked acid thrown into a hole in she sand, sup-
posed to be dead, but be happily recovered, and
succeeded in getting back to the camp."

Since writing the above, Bengal Papers to the 10th
instant have come to hand. They contain nothing
Dew except the following hom Cuttack. By this cir-
cumstance we are happy to perceive the communica-
tion is again open. Colonel Sir John and
Captain Fiischirence in-faired at Calcutta on the Sib
' “ The guns belonging to the detachment from
Midnapore artived on the 26:11 ultimo. and Captain,
Wallington with his detachment had joined Captain
Le Fevre at Jaggernauth. The 2J battahon of the
ltith, with a In shade of guns and a patty of the body
guard, marched Uom Cuttack ou the Mho under at:

Cl/MUM of Major Hamilton, and crossed the ICI:
joorah river in the morning. ,oa their way to Pootee.
In the mean time, it appears that some insurgents
had made a movement to the northward and east-
ward of Piply, erectitl in their advance several
strong stockades to dei...d themselves from the at-
tack of our trcrps. We understand that on the eve.
ning of the :nth, Major Hamilton marched from
Cult sck with four companies of the ?A b.r.talion of
the 13th Native Infantry and the party of the Body
Guard, fur the purpose of attacking them iu their
strong hold. The mfantry dashed forward and drove
the rebels from the stockade which tilt y Lad erected
on the road to a village called Darootang. situated
about nine miles south west of Cuttack. The enemy,
made but a feeble resistance. and only fired a few.
matchlocks and *tit's, but their arrow.% unfottu
natcly, were aimed with some effect. In this ten-
contre. we regret to observe, that Lieutsliaot White
and three sepoys wtae wounded by them, the former
severely in the thigh. and the latter slightly.

" At midnight the troops entered Darootang, where
they remained till day-break, and then leaving the
village., set it on fire. The insurgents having fled
with precipitation, it was impossible to ascertain the
number that had been assembled. 111 the morning
of the 29ili it is said that Major Harbilton proceeded
in a s•"uth west direction about five koss further, and
the detachment returned to Cuttack in the eve ling.
On the 30tle the 2d battalion marched towati s Jag.
gernauth, and our letters lead us to conclude that
Major H 'milton must have arrived at that place on
the Sd of May. It was understood that Jugbundoo
had gone towards Goorasur, but we have no distinct
accounts of his movement.

" From Jaggernanth, the 29:b, we hear that the
force under Glaptain Le Fevre was ready to penetrate
into Khoord..h, where the peasantry seem to be
awakening from the delusion into which the arts of
Jugbundoo had thrown them.
" Mojor-General Sir G. Martindell arrived at
Midnapore on the 211, and would probably be at
Cuttack on the Stb."
