KIST INDIA INTELLIGENCE.

M\4..

11,c A4atic Mirror (published at Calcutta) of the
25th l'eb. contains the following intelligence :

" CAMP JIIAWCD, JANUARY 51.
" I have the pleasure to give you a correct detail
of the att•tcks on the two camps of Juswunt Roa
Bhow, and the assault of the fortified town of Jha-

wud on the 29th inst.
" As to the origi 'al causes of the rupture with
the Bliow we are not fully in possession of them,
further than his refusal to give up the Pindarree
Chiefs ; his shiftin3 and underhand conduct when he
received the de.erminations of the Commissioner,
Captain Caulfield ; and his alternately shelling every
inclination to non-compliance with the terms of the
Treaty w ith Scindiah, his master ; and every dispo-
sition to oppose by force the division of Major-Ge-

neral
" After the Bhow having had from the 2.5 th to
the 28th at noon to make up his mind to the terms
of the Treaty, Brahminical like, he stood out, unfor-
tunately for himself and master, too late.
On the morning of the 29th it was obServed
that the 13how's camp, with four guns, south of the
town, were moving off, when the piquet of the 3d
cavalry, and a squadron of that regiment under Cap-
tain Swindell, Lieutenants C. C. Smith and Hester,,
were ordered down to remonstrate, when they were
received by-a round from the guns, which brought
down to their aid the whole of that gallant regiment
under Captain Hodges, who cut up a considerable
number, and the corps pursued, until recalled, with
Colonel Newberry, late Brigadier.
" On the first gun being find, Commanding Offi-
cers of corps, without orders, desired their men to
get under arms, which was fortunate, as, when the
line was ordered out, they were ready, and the Ist
battalion Ist regiment, under the command of Major
Bellingham, was desired to move down towards the
firing, with the European horse artillery, gallopers,
and pioneers, under Captain Biggs, Lieutenants Ma-
thison, Kemp, and Earl, of the latter corps.
" The above-mentioned four guns were soon clear-
ed, and as the enemy had commenced hostilities,
preparations were immediately made to storm the
town. The Ist battalion Ist regiment moved down
to a first position, while some negociations were
loin? forward (in which Captain Sadler, of his Ma-
jesty s 47th regiment, with the Commissioner, spew-
ed his gallantry and activity) with the town ; but at
intervals they kept up a smart fire of matchlocks and
gingals. At one period it was said the Bhow had
agreed to all the terms, and to give up the town, but
a smart fire from the walls proved the contrary.—
The Ist battalion lit native infantry, moved down

as close as possible to the walls of the town, availing
themselves of the advantages of the ground on their
part. The 12. pounders moved to the right to enfi-
lade it, and 6-pounders down the left of the Ist bat-
talion Ist regiment of native. infantry, for the same
purpose- The Staff were stationed near a tomb, be-
tween, and in rear a little, of the battalion and 12-
pounders. The Ist grenadier company, under Cap-
tain Engleheart, was ordered in advance with the
12-pounders, to blow open the gate; afterwards
Lieutenant Maltby was ordered up with a battalion
company ; Captain Tapp, commanding the -2d g• re-
nadiers, with Lieutenant Tilloston, was ordered- to
the left of the battalion, and moved forward to create
a diversion for the gateway. The light company,
under Lieutenants Dyson and George Hickman,
were ordered to keep up a fire at the walls, and
cover the advancing party. Lieutenant John Hick-
man and Lieutenant Oliver were ordered, with their
companies, to clear the walls to the right and left,
on entering the town, and the whole to be ready to
advance to the gateway when ordered, which was
done in the most gallant manner ; and tht gate being
blown open only to a jar, the whole of the Ist batta-
I lion Ist native infantry were in nearly together.
The 4th cavalry, with the 2d Rohilla horse, the
former under Captain Ricjge, the latter under Lieu-
tenant Turner, were ordered to proceed against a

camp N.W. of the town, with six guns, surrounded
by a nullah, and again by a small ravine. They
were received as the 3d cavalry had been on the
south side, and dashed in, in high style, on the ene-
my, carrying three guns, and cutting up a great
number of them.
" The whole of these handsome enterprizes have
been executed nearly at the same time, with a small
loss, considering the service, which can only be im-
puted to the gallantry of the troops, and the advan-
tages, perchance, which the ground afforded. But
what does infinite credit to the troops engaged, is,
that not an outrage, or any act of pillage, took place
in the town after it was carried, agreeably to previ-
ous orders. The Bhow's horse was taken possession
of, and it is hoped and expected that the whole of
this division will receive his property as prize-money,
agreeably to the last Treaty with Scindiah, for the
handsome services they have performed. The Eu-
ropean horse artillery, under Lieutenant Mathison,
deserves all praise that can be bestowed on them ; in
fact, not an officer or soldier but deserves the enco-
miums which have been bestowed on them.

" Letters have been received from the head-cinar-
ters of the Grand Army, of the 10th instant. Their
contents are not important. Namdur Khan has
given up to us his horses and arms, and he and his
followers are said to be in the most wretched plight.
For two days previous to surrendering himself he
had eaten nothing, and was literally starving. It
appears that Major Clarke had caused them greater
loss than he had himself reported. It was the choice
troops of the two Hurrahs that he attacked, and
numbers of the wounded had died in the jungles
after the affair. It is also stated, that the surprise
of Cheetoo, by Colonel Heath, was more important
than at first imagined. Khureem Khan was either
dead or dying ; he was left in a jungle very ill, and
nothing more has been heard of Lim.'

TRADE ON THE RHINE.

NURF.MBERO, JULY 14.

Several Public Papers have frequently spoken of
the hardships suffered by many of the countries on
the Rhine, and a great part of the rest of Germany,
in consequence orthe obstacles opposed by the Ne-
therlands to foreign trade. Several of the Prussian
Provinces (Rhenish), are especially affected by the
neighbourhood of the Belgic frontier, and of the line
of Cuitom-houses long since established there. Some
'exports and imports are entirely prohibited ; many,
and among these yarn, subject to a duty of eight per
cent. on the value, and almost every thing to a d
Ide balance. Even goods coming from foreign coun-
tries pay a heavy transit duty.
Thus, a steam-engine, ordered a few months ago
from England, by a manufacturer on the Rhine, had
to pay, in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, five hun-
dred florins for transit duty alone. These duties are
a great 'hindrance to trade, and paralize all com-
, mercial activity. The burdens are rendered still 1
more oppressive by the cLicanery of the Belgic Dona-1
niers, who in every respect go far beyond their
leagues of French stamp, with whom we formevly,
had to do ; this is, indeed, saying a great deal, but,
it is too true. By these obstacles, trade has suffered
so much, that on the high. road from Liege to Co-
logne, where you might formerly meet hundreds of
loaded waggons, you now very rarely meet with
any. This has even obliged the Farmers of the Tolls
on this road, to petition the Belgian Govertunent,for
a reduction of the sum they have contracted to pay.
Many goods from France, intended • for Germany,
which formerly went through Brabant to Cologne,
now take the much longer and worse road by Saar-
bruck, Treves, and Coblentz, in order to avoid at
any rate coming in contact with the Belgic frontiers.
—Numerous urgent representations have been made
to the Prussian Government at Aix•la-Chapelle. The
general wish is, that measures may be adopted to
compel the Belgians to abolish the import duties on
Prussian productions. Holland and Belgium are
bounded from the north side to the neighbourhood
of Saarbrucli, by the Prussian States.
All goods from the Netherlands to the interior of
Germany, Switzerland, and Upper Italy, must abso-
lutely pass through the Prussian dominions. • By
threatening to use reprisals; and, if threats will not
do, establishing a line of Custom-houses on the Prus-
sian frontiers, with a tarif modelled after that of
Belgium, might attain the desired end. It has also
been proposed to lay a heavy transit duty (for exam-
ple, to per cent. on colonial goods) upon all Belgian
articles passing through the Prussian Rhenish pro-
vinces. Such measures might convince the Belgic
Government, that from the geographical situation of
the countries, Belgium and Holland are more depen-
dent on Prussia, than Prussia on them.

From the New York Gazette of the 20th June
" The Public Authorities of Norfolk having pre-
sented an Address to the President during his resi
dente in that Borough, the following is the Pawn-
DENT.S Answer:

" object Is more interesting to the United States
than the adoption of a judicious system of defence, and the esta-
blishment and construction of such fortifications as may be found
necessary for the security of our maritime and inland frontier.
Such a system, well executed, may prevent wars; and it cannot
fail, should wars become inevitable, to mitigate their calamities.
The attention of Congress has been wisely directed to this gnat
object, and ample funds have been provided for it. It is my
duty to exert my utmost efforts to give it effect ; and on these
efforts my country may rely.
" It is our felicity to live under a Governmenecapable of w-
eaning to us, by, a wise, honest, and efficient exercise of its
powers, all the blessings of which civil society is susceptible.—
While the movement of the Government in all its branches cor-
responds with the great and sublime principles on which it is
founded. ro citizen will ever have cause to complain that any of
his rights have been violated. Happily, this faithful and har-
monious movement is placed beyond the reach of danger. De-
riving all its power from the People, it must be administered for
their advantage, while the People continue to be virtuous, well-
informed, and attentive to their interest. It is a cause of heart-
felt satisfaction to us all, and of grateful acknowledgment to the
SC PRINZ CREATOR of the WORLD, that the operations of our 130-
' verntr.ent have fully confirmed all the most flattering anticipa-
' tions that were indulged in its favour.

" To the support of these great principles my whole life has
been devoted. My conduct In many high and important trusts
is known to my country. If it has given me any claim to the
confidence of my fellow citizens, I feel that they have not been
unmindful of it. The same principles and zeal, which you have
approved in the review which you have taken of the past, will
continue to animate me in future.
" For the kind reception which you have given me, in behalf
of the citizens of Norfolk, I beg you tender to them my sincere
thanks, with my best wishes for their prosperity and welfare.

SPAIN AND THE UNITED STATES.
The forcible seizure of Pensacola by the troll
of the United States may now he considered al
placed beyond all doubt, by the arrivals of
morning. The following is an extract from el
Veto York Commercial Advertiser of line 29, :zrd
there are Private Letters, we understand, in toga,
which confirm it in every particular:

CAPTURE OF PENSACOLA.
A ST. STEP111::•:'s. irxE

confidence can be placed, who left l'enum! t
days since, we lcara that General Jackson, aftz'
ing obtained possession of the town of Per.-:
summoned the of rarancas to surrende
on refusal he commenced entrenching, with ;
of attempting its reduction by regular appre
and at the same time the firing began on btal
with but little effect.

" After continuing these operations tkiee
with the loss of two on the part of the AZ'
forces, and thirteen on that of the biranial.,
Governor surrendered, on condition that the
troops, and all the citizens who might •with

the fort, should be transported to the ILva:
the expense of the American Government.
" It is sail, that at the time of surreminil
forces had proceeded within SOO yards of tl
and that there would have been much longs
tance on the part of the Spaniards, had not a
taken place among them. The flag of the ►
States is now waving over the walls of the Bar
and in the town of Pensacola.

" We think the capture of Pensacola wil

The American Journalist cannot be far wi
supposing that such an act as this must bring
between the United States and Spain to a cri]
how it can be supposed that to attack, and
and take, the capital of a neighbouring te.r:
a way to effect an amicable adjustment of
with it, appears to us a little astonishing. 11
tare of Pensacola is a death-blow to all al
adjustment. It is not merely the prelude
but is war itself, in one of its most direct and c
forms. How Spain may regard the act, yet rem
wen ; even its bitterest enemies will regret,
its weakness be such as to compel it to submit
to such a spoliation. But the questicn is not n 1
Spain alone—an act of aggression such as thi
of which the United States owe an explanatic
world. The annexation of the Floridas to the
can Union, must have the effect of altarin;
lative situation, in point of strength and resm
every other State in both hemispheres of the

FI:ENI PAI

;Plc Paris Papers of the 23d and 24. th have arrived

c :sr last.
CANUEL redeemed his parole of honour,
crsenting himself before the Judge of Instruc-
.::, Wednesday, when an examination took place
papers, in the presence of the Commissary of
who made the seizure of them at the General's
1,;.c, The pnrrs, according to one of the Jour-
el, consisted merely of a few insignificant pieces
rpecting the affair of Lyons, and the General was
I,astted again to go at large, o.s his promise to re-
--4 the Judge next day. On Thursday the Gene-
dti accordingly attend ; and after an examination
~hch lasted for about six hours, the Judge issued a
yri-mt for his committal to close custody, and he
vaneisl conveyed to the Conciergerie.
i speech which the General made before the
Tribe :sal of Correctional Police on Tuesday, in his
p.ctim of calamny against SENNEVILLE and FABYSEB,
has callitif forth a variety of severe observations in •
rola of tile Journals. It is remarked as rather ex—
that the General, although he hail not
beca then interrogated on the subject of the alleged
conspiracy, and of consequence could know nothing
of o,e specific charges made either against himself or
ait:int his friends who are in the hands of justice,
diiadi have ventured to proclaim so boldly both
th;i: innocence and Isis own. For himself, it is said,
e.,,severation may be allowed to pass, but with
NV:: to the other prisoners, it is, to say the least of
is, p.esumiug a great deal to affirm that they are in-
tcent of an accusation of which he knows nothing.
The General, it will be recollected, asserted un-
cOocally before the Tribunal of Police, that the
c!::ge of cuss piracy had been fabricated against
Fs. and his papers seized, for no other purpose than
:.sicat the prosecution he had instituted against
h::.ssaiLtf and nays EX f The Journals treat this
a a very odious and unfounded calumny against the
Sic-yell:meat, and ask, very justly, how it happens,
that if =ucls were the purpose of the charge of con-
spiracy against the General, his papers should not
s:ized till eight days after his disappear-
as interval quite su%cient to allow the General
ce fricods time to carry off and conceal every
scrap of paper belonging to him.

The General is asked moreover to explain why he
fed so precipitately before any charge at all was
brought against him—why, immediately on certain
persons, whom he is pleased to call his friends, being
nns!cd on a charge of conspiracy against the State,
ral before any thing was said to himself, or any
thig required from him, he absconded fiom his
;,me, and baook himself to the' closest conceal-
rent? The General has said that he did so in order
that he might not be prevented from appearing
before the Tribunal of Police on the day appointed
fee the hearing of his cause • against 'Sennevrlle and
Val)ler; Int allowing him. all the benefit Of this
prc:e2, it only spews (say the Journals) that eight

days Min the Government found any reason to

institute proceedings against General CANUEL, the
General himself seas sensible in his own mind that
there were grounds of charge against him of such a
nature as would deprive him of his liberty the mo-
ment they were known, and that he could only there-
fore be in a condition to claim the operation of the law
against Messrs. SENNEVILLE and FABVIER by skulk-
ing for a time from the operation of the law against
himself. What besides, it is asked, has the General
gained by his appearance in this cause ? Nothing—
but the opportunity of uttering a furious diatribe con-
cerning a matter which has no connection with it.
The cause itself is deferred without a word being said
on its merits, and less could not have been done had
iscGeteral staid away for ever.
ne General appears on the whole to have gained
k, little in public estimation, by the attempt he has
ride t, explain away the suspicions so naturally
cireeted with his late concealment and evasion of
i,;!ire. There are some situations, as one of the
Err:7.4 burnalists justly remarks, which explained
ill, Whetter not have been explained at all.
