We are glad to learn that those plunderers, the
Pindarrees, whd have of late years committed so much
outrage upon the peaceable inhabitants of differect
parts of India, have received a salutary check ip the
neighbourhood of Bombay. Major LUWHttit7TON,
commanding the 4th reg
irnent of Madras Light Ca-
vary, has deleated a body of 34100 of them. The
surprise was complete, and the attack and pursuit so
ardent, that 800 were killed and wounded, and many
rendered incapable of pursuing their plundering ex-
ctusion by the WA of Ilia hones.
