Lova TO CLEROTMEN.-011 triday and Saturday,
.ne 3d and 4th inst. the Rev. Hollis Samson, of Wil-
mington, began to make some movements about
building a barn. Oq Monday following, some part
`the briber, unhewed, was drawn to the place in-
for framing ; the people passing and repassing
observed the movement, circulated the intelligence,
i without any other notification, came together

SO feet long and 20 broad, well timbered, stood
i a good stone underpinning, which was four or
feet high ; under one side of the barn the stone
• however, was not wholly done, but the next
Tuesday was mentioned as a day to cover the barn
complete the underpinning. Accordingly, on
'4th, the people came together ; little was done
afternoon, but by about sun-set the barn was coin-
covered, roof and sides, stage= taken down,.

then stated by some one, that it was just ilie
beginning of hay time, and the barn would want
something in it. .Several loads of hay were LIZMN
diately offered, and it was agreed to circulate the
knowledge of this among the people, and that
one that felt able and' willing should, in the
of the hay-season, bring a small load, and see
could not fill it. How this sOll succeed we
. certainly predict; but, judging from what is
we may presume • that Mr. Samson will hays a.
supply of hay.—Wilmington, July 20.

DISPUTE SETTLEI-; L-A farmer in the county of

a large tree, which he alleged he had pur- 1
of the testator in his lifetime. The executor
~not satisfied that the claim was a just one; and
two years this tree was a fruitful object of dis-
At length the claimant became importunate,
was peremptorily refused by the executor.
" So high at last the contest rose,

carrying his resolve into execution; for on the day

EAST INDIES.

FROM THE BOMBAY GAZETTE, APRIL 22.

The force under General !Gum, in the Southern
of the Dedcan, have taken Belghaum, and were
.arching to the attack of Nepaunee, one of their
stron"est holds ; after reducing. which they would
march further East, in the direction of Punderpoore,
where many forts are still in possession of the enemy.
• correspondent informs us that the country here-
•ut is most delightful, being an extensive plain,
beyond description, the villages large and popu-
, surrounded with trees, and many situate on the
..of rivers ; forage is in plenty, and provisions
abundant, as this part of the country has not before
the seat of war.

CAMP BEFORE CIIANDAIL APRIL 7.
On our advance to within 50 miles of this, we fell
ith, and dispersed, a body of Bajee Row's horse,
advance of his whsle force, who had crossed to

East bank of the Warda on the Sdi with an in-
tention of marching on Chandah, agreeable to an in-
vitation from the killedar of that place. Some pri-
soners that we took gave us the following account
- his force and Commattders:—

small one, consisting of the
6th Bengal Cavalry, including a squadron of the Sth, 800
..r.ar's horse - . - 104)0
. galloper guns.

This will give some idea of the state of alarm that
exists in their camps, and what a wretched cowardly
crew his army is composed of.
We have the satisfaction to report the reduction
the fort of Ramghur, in the province of Salsee, by
detachment under the command of Colonel Pear-
.; and the occupation of that of Cumta by Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Imlack, who had proceeded to invest
De4Ehur.
The following Extract of Brigade Orders by Lieu-
Ant-Colonel Prother, -dated Camp Indapore, 17th
pril, 1818, will clearly elucidate a very spirited
affair, in which a detachment of the force under that
Officer's command has been engaged :
" The Commanding Officer, with sentiments of,
satisfaction, publishes to the force, for general inforto
mation, the following particulars of the attack of the
-ckades, under Captain Rose, of his Majesty's 89th
.egiment
There were three stockades on a range of hills,
shape somewhat like a half crescent ; Capt. Rose
;vided his detachment in three puts, one under

'aptain Hutchinson and Lieutenant Crosby, another
ith Lieutenant Bellassis and Lieutenant Dowdall,
_ .

third under his personal command with Lieute-
nant Phelan ; (the enemy were in number 500, under
superintendance of a Dewan, with rocket batteries
.nd two small guns) ; the detachment of Poonah
auxiliary horse supported the infantry. The attack
the flank stockades commenced nearly at the
ime time under a heavy fire of rockets and mus-
:etry ; they were carried in a very gallant style by
tptain Hutchinson and Lieutenant Bellassis, the
tatty abandoning the post immediately ; on per-
;ving which, Captain Rose, who had maintained
centre for the purpose of supporting the parties,
gallantly pushed on and carried the main stockade,
capturing two guns.
The Poona auxiliary horse, under Brigade Ma-
Moore, perceiving the enemy making off, ascend-
the hill with difficulty, and finding a road, got up
