FItONI TUE BOMBAY COURIER, APRIL H.

By private accounts, dated Camp Ougein, 29th of
March, we arc informed, that Cheetoo, after going
to Bopaul to make conditions with Captain Headley
for delivering himself up, suddenly fled, and has, it
is resorted, goae back to his old haunts near Ilaglee
and ltapoEhut ; in consequence of which the force
at Ougein WAS to march that day towards Indore,
and send nut detachments after him ; the battalion
lat Hindia w.rjld also furnish a detachment tuwards
Oonchode. The letter further states, that the troops
of Jean Baptiste, having mutinied and deposed that
•
leader, had elected Arratoon, the Armenian, in his
stead. We are happy to learn from the same source
that every thing was perfectly quiet in Maiwa.
Reports say that Bajce Rao's Chiefs are daily re-
tiring with their followers : some time ago his army
was 5,,11 to consist of only 25,000 men, and we have
reason to suppose that it doos not consist of half that
number at present.
Out of the 365 strong holds that by the native
accounts are in the Deckan, we may already reckon
50 of them in our possession, and calculate that when
other 50 surrender, we may call the whole our own:
,uch the numerical exagseration of our Hindoo
friends.

PROM TOE czyt.ox GAZETTE. APRIL 25.
The absence of the Rebel Chiefs from Ouva pro-
duced a temporary tr anquillity in the neighbourhood
of Badulla; in the ric►nay of Godeagamma the Re-
bels had attacked our escorts with much fury, and
on one of those occasioas, on the 2d inst. Lieutenant
Burke, 2d Ceylon Regiment, was severely wounded;
Second Lieutenant Gray, of the Ist Ceylon Regiment,
was on similar duty b:tween Ilallialle and Hanwelle
on the 12th April, aad wounded through the face,
but was left at Talienia, and reported by the Medi-
cal Officer to be doing well.
The addition of mops to the garrison of Candy
gave an opportunity of disturbing the Rebels who
had strongly entrenched themselves in the extensive
villages of Arawe and Godamoone, situate in Hewn-
betty, about nine miles from the capital, in a rich
and beautiful country hitherto not visited by our
troops ; three 'small divisions moved on these places,
two from Candy by difrotent routes under Lieute-
nant-Colonel I lardy and Captain Fraser (of the Staff),
and one from Gonegamme under Capt. Drew, 7'3d.
On every road were numerous abnttis and thorngatcs
at intervals, which prevented any surprise on the in••
habitants of the villages, and who consequently
escaped, leaving large stores of grain and cattle to
the disposal of a detachment which was posted at
Godamoone under Captain Fraser.
The Rebels of the upper part of the Seven Korles
and Toompane are reported to be assembled in forte,
on the borders of the Korles, but the precautions,
taken to guard the last valuable and faithful province
have as yet prevented any irruption into it; and in
the various movements of our forces in advance, the
Rebels have sustained considerable loss. Detach-
; mons :tlso made from the force at Kornegalle have
equally punished the presumption of such iasurgents
as were in its neighbourhood.

" Lieutenant-Gen:;ral Sir Thomas II islo? having, in Firsuance
of the authority vested In him for that purpose, by the Most
Noble the Governor Gene: al and Cammander-ili-Clalef, made
such arrangements as were necessary, towards the breaking up
of the Army of the licckan, his Excellency proceeds to tea:Leh/a
Heal Orders, as 04s-in:ander-in Oudot that army.
" From and after the present date, therefore, the designation
of the • Army of the Deckan' is discontinued, and the corps
commanded by 13rigadier-GeneralsDoveton and Smith. willre-
siert to the footing on which they stood, previously to the Lieu-
tcr.ant-GeneraF3 assumption of the chief command.
" As the divisions, of which Brigadier-Generals Dovelats and
Smith are to retain the command, will still for a time exteed the
ordinary =went of the Subsidiary Forces, which constituted
their original eAmunacil, and will continue to be employed in
operations intimately cwinccted with those in which th..y have
been e..g:iged, since they received that rank, Lkutenant-Ge-
nets!, Sir Thomas Ilialop notlF.es to the army, that it is net, at
I roust, the mecum= of his I..'sceilency its Most Noblp the Go:

'vetoer General, to roseal the cornenisslotu issued to the alas
Officers; thin co *tinder grow* Brigadier-G. petals Munro,
Pro.:ler, lir Juba and Sir Augustus Moyer, will also
retain, for the present, th. reek of eiier-Gc and that
Brigadier-Generals Munro, Smith, and Pritzler, will continue td
act in the sense relatives tb each other as they now
" Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas ihslop aethorixes the Ge-
r neral, and Personal Staff, at bead-quarters, to comieue to ma:ae
tub their field establishments, until the arrival of his Excellency
et Pvt St. °tore.
" Sir Thomel Hislop would have deemed it quite euperfluous
after the hli„ek and flA.trirg encomium's bestowed on the army
of the De clan, by his Excellency the Most Merle the Gover-
nor-General and Comir.ander-ie-Chief, to cypress those which
the gallant army be has had the honour to comment!, ihreugh-
out so eventful a campaign, is in so pre-eminent a degree eati-
tled to, personally front him. Impelled, however, by a sense
of what is due to them, for th.ere undeviating observance of the
most exact discipline, thereby throwing a lustre on their ackeow-
lodged achievements, he car.not resist the opeortueity which the
present moment affords, of bearing the most public testimony
I of their further just deserts.
" Foch and every divSeson of the army having entitled itself
to, and received the lAL-utenent-Gessepre thatch' and applause,
it becomes unnecesutty nmv to revert to the particular oecesinna
which called forth these acknowledgments; uotbing is therefore
left to his Excellency to repeat, bat that they have all most no-
; bly done their deity, thereby leaving on his mind an indelible
impres-ion of admiration. To have been placed at the bead of
the army of the Deckan, must, to the lets sr period of his life,
prove the source of his greatest pi. id !, as the conferring on him,
by the Most Noble the Governor-General Li Council, of so dis-
'tingt.i,htd a command, must ever claim the acknowledgments
of his utmost gratittde.
" To itlejor-Goner l Sir William Grant Kier, to Brigadier-
Generals Munro, Doveton, Sir John 11i acolm, Smith, and
Ptitzler, and to Lieutenant-Cc:km.l Adams, who commanded
the different divisions of the army In the field, Sir Th Jules
Unship, once more tenders to their ecceptence, the offer of his
most eiect re and grateful thanks, for the eminent services they
have performed while serving trader his command; a.d hit Ex-
celleocy requ :sts they will each do him the favour of conveying
the same to the corps which have composed their divisions during
the campaign.
" The Lieutenant-General avails himself with pleasure of the
present occasion, to record the high sem:. he entertan.s of the
able and energetic aslstance lie haa 'vete% ed, during the whole
of the campaign, front his General and Personal S.aff, In con-
dotting their respective departments and duties, which justly en-
tick's them to his unqualified thanks and approbation : his liacil-
lency at the same Lime deems it proper to remark, that if the
Cummissaviet arrangements during the short pea iud when the
army was in the field of 1815, w ere such as to demand his par.
titular applause on teat occasion, the arduous and complicated
duties required of the department during the late service, and
which were most lad‘teetorily fulfilled under circumstance; of
the greatest difficulte and embaerassinent, give Lieutenant-Co-
lonel 31orison, aided as he has been by the indefatigable exer-
tiqrs of Lieutenant-Celonel Ilfackintush and the Officers o. his
department, the stror.geet claim to his I:xcellency'e acknowledg-
ments end high commendation.
" All returns, reports, and cortmunieations, from the Army
of the licckan, are to be forwarded thronit the preseribed chan-
nels to Sir Thomas Ilidup, head-quarters, up to this date, inclu-
sive, and his Excellency will reserve to bimseli the riebt of
giving such further melees zed instructions, as may be necessary
on ail poiLts, at present under reference, or requiring submission
for approval to superior authority up to the same period."
