.. The war in India may now, we are happy to say,
. be considered as completely terminated: A letter
from the Cape of*Good Hope, dated the 9th of May,
states,'• that by an arrival there fro Calcutta, ac-
counts were received of the 20th February, that the
Marquis of HASTINOa had signed a peace with Hot-
' lICAR and &suntan, and that the troops were ordered
... into cantonments. The fact is farther confirmed by
. . the following article in the.Neto l'oak Garrtte of the
1244 of June. which referii.to accounts from Calcutta
seven days,later than these received at the Cape: .
• . NEW YORK GAZEDIS. JUNE as.
" We have been favotired by Captain Nzwecosa,
of the Biaganaa; with Calcutta Papers to theirth
• February last. It appears that the war between the
English and Native Powers in India had been nearly
brought to a close. We find, by a General Order,
dated Head-quarters, February 12, that the objects
for which the Centre Di% Lion were embodied being
accomplished, arrarzements are to be made for its
separation. The Commaader-in-Chief expresses his
high approbation of the skill and zeal of the officers

and men for their successful services . There bad been

much slcii tnishing between the British and Natives,
in which the former were uniformly successful. Since
our t'oriiler accounts, no regular or serious battle had
ben fought, and few lives lost on either side."

We hare • received to-day an additional series of
-Agr.brican Papess, but not extending to a later date
tt*Ft.those.which brought us on Saturday the of vial

particulars of the captdre,of• Pensacola. We find in
. them, however, some new documents respecting this
extraordinary transaction, which we subjoin:

" rectos, SoLninns !--You were called into the geld to punish
ssya3es and negrets, who had, in a sanguinary manner, used
'the tomahawk and scalping knife, (iron our heirless citizens on
the frontier. You hay:, pursued them to Mikiauky, St. Marks,

nest, encountering immense dirfitmitiirs and privationi, which
you met with the spirit of American soldiers, without a murmur.
" Your General anticipated a close of the campaign on his re_
tarn to Fort Gad..clen ; and hailed the hour with feelings of gra-
titude to !iscavits, at the prospect of relieving you from your
labours, by placing you in quarters, and returning you to your
bor.:es. But how great was the disappointment, when he heard

of the retort mailers comrnittNl on the 'Alabama, by a party
,of the eight from l'encmol.s, where they were furnished with
fprovitions and antnundtlos'hy a ftiendly power. Under this
state of things you were marched here, encountering difficulties

Thir new and uresp.oted oucmy was soon taught to feel the im.

potcnce di his•threats. You entered • Pensacola without opposi
tiiid, and the strour fortress of the llarancss could bold out but
against your determined courage."
The Arneryans, ns will 'ue seen from the preceding
documents, mean to rest the justification of their con-

seiaing on l'cinsacola entirely on the fact of the
ownpution of that place being a necessary link in the
• chain of me:lSnies which they have been compelled to
take to suppress the savage incursions of the Seminole
Indians. 'The Tact, however, rests as yet altogether
on their own assertion, in, opposition to which we see
I.ront Geneval dAc kso N'S orders, that there has been a
Proclanntion of the Governor of Wesj Florida, pro-
testiog.against the iniasibn of bis territories by the
:Americans, and winch must of course have proceeded

on'the ground,' that there 4.. y .is no just gromoi cr pre

teat on the part of the Americans for such a breach
of the anacabh; relations between the two countries.
It is really, however, quite useleEs to go into such
small matter. It is but the vanishing point of the

sritous enough to the whole world. We tuent the Flo-
