EAST INDIA INTELLIGENCE.

We have received from Calcutta the Asiatic Mirtor
of the 15th of April. Accounts from Hyderabad of
the 26th March state, that Bajee Rao (late his High-
ness the Peishwa) had quitted the line between Khair
and Nandair, turned to the northward, and gone in
the direction of Berar.- Nis Excellency.the Gover-
nor-General remained on the 4th of April at head-
quartets at Mudeneah; enjoying the amusement of
tiger-hunting. The ravages of the cholera atorbus,
it appears, have increased, rather than abated, among
the native• population of Calcutta. The causes of
this di4order, and the mode of treatment proper for
its relief, have become subjects of discussion in the
Caltinta Journals. The practice of wearing flannel
is generally considered by the Medical practitioners
to be preservative against this prevailing disorder.
The new church of St. Andrew, intended as a place
of devotion for the members of the Kirk of Scotland,
is now finished, and ready for Divineiservice. Sir
David Ochterlony has been invested by the Gover-
nor-General,. as the representative of the Prince Re-
gent, with the insignia of the Order of the Bath, ac-
companied by a warm eulogium on his long and
meritorious services.
EXTRAeTS FROM A PRIVATE LETTER, DATED NAG*
• Foltz, MARCH 26.

• " You must have heard of Sir Thomas Hislop's
battle with Holkar's troops, and of the treaty that
followed ; that family is now in complete.subjectiOn,
and a body of our troops have been left in his terri-
tory. Sir David Ochterlony's division of the army
is expected to remain out for a long period; for the
purpose of completely settling that part of India.—
Alas! the Jagpore and Rajepoot States. 'The fa- ,
mous Meer Khan has accepted the terms offered him,
and the above division of the army are collecting his
guns, but which his refractory troops are unwilling
to surrender. The Jagpore Rajah does not at pre-
sent possess any considerable force, but it is reported
that he means to attack us next year. The Pcis/awa
has as yet managed to escape from all our detach-
ments. Parties of the Madras and Bombay armies
are in pursuit of them, and accounts have been Te.•
ceivcd that Brigadier-General Smith came upon him
by surprise, killed a number of his followers, and,
among the rest, his famous Commander, Gokla, fell.
The Peishwa took to his heels the moment our troops
appeared ; numbers of his petty Chiefs have deserted
him, and come over to us. The country imme-
diatAv not)) and south of the river Nerbuddah is to
be ceded to the Company. The Madras army is to
relieve our subsidiary force at Nagpore, which is
destined fur the ceded districts, and to be designated
the army of the Nerbuddah. They are employed in
besieging some forts to the south of the Nerhuddah ;
and General. Marshall, with a large force, is employ-
ed on the work to the north. As to the Pindarrees,
poor devils, they are completely disheartened; in-
deed, most of the head Chiefs have been extermi-
n tied. New regiments are pretty certain, although
they cannot be finally raised without permission from
home. Dispatches are on their way, stating, that
more tegiments are absolutely necessary for the safety
of the cretairy : and in anticipation of the Court of
Directors complying, criers have been issued for the
levying of 4,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry iinme--
diately ; so that by the time the Court's orders ar-
• rive, these troops will be fit for aid service."
" MARCH 31.—Since writing the foregoing. we
have received some news, which is as followss--The
Resident at Nagpore having conceives strong suspi-
cions of the meditated Right of the Rajah to the'
Peishwa, intercepted the correspondence, from which
he obtained.the most convincing proofs of his trea-1
chery. Repeated messages were sent to the Rajah
to invite him to an interview at the Residency, but
to no purpose'; when the Resident sent three com-
panies to the Palace. to force him out; he was at'
List seized in the midst of his women, and is now on
his way to Allahabad, escorted by a battalion and
some horse artillery, from whence it is supposed he
will be dispatched to Calcutta, Vizier Ally's old
quarters in the fort. It appears from the intercepted
correspondent', that the rascal, while publicly send-
ing people to deliver up his forts to us, had sent se-
cret encouragement to his Killadars to hole out as
long as possible. A friend of the 13ritish Govern-
ment, and a favourite of the Residents, had been
placed on the Musnud, Sir David Ochterlony
reached this yesterday on his return from the Mar-
quis's camp."
" Aram 11.—Accounts have this day arrived, an-
nouncing the approach of the Peishwa, with an im-
mense force, to Nagpore. He had reached Jaulnak,
and was expected to be in the neighbourhood of
Nagpore on the 23d or 24th of list month. If he
escapes our detachment this time, I fear he will
create a great deal of trouble and annoyance for
some time to come.• It is reported that the seizure
of the Nagpore Rajah has caused the greatest alarm•
to the southward, and that an attempt will be made
to rescue him while on his journey to Allahabad."
DIADIIAS, MARCH 7. -.
By the following translation of an an article from
the Batavian Government Gazette, we learn Oast 11011
disturbances at Amboyna had been suppressed: .
" BATAVIA, Nov. 29, 1817.—According to intel.'
Egence received from his Excellency Rear4sinsirid"
Buyskes, one of his Netherland Majesty's Colarnissio...
ters-General, dated 20th of October last, tranquillity
was at that time completely restorad -at Arriboyna.
His Excellency has succeeded in putling to • htthel
Cerammers and the principal mutineering ' s,-
hief
without the loss of a single man, vtd in b i bringing
hack to their duty those natives who bad rebelled.-
As soon as the plan of attack was formed, his Excel-
leacy intimated to the mutineers, by proclamation,
the necessity of submitting themselves; whickhad so
good an effect, that on the approach of the iessels
belonging to the expedition sent against them, they
hoisted the white flag, and did not make the least at-
tempt to prevent the landing of the troops; but de-
manded pardon of the Commanding Officer. His
Excellency, in consequence, intended to giant pardon
in the name of the Netherland Government to all the
natives on the come of Hitou who shared in the tu-
mult, with the eneeption, however, of those who had
been guilty of rujirdering, wounding, or attacking
the Residents, Regents, or other petty Chiefs, under
.whose controul they were.—The above intelligence
gives us well groanded hopes that the mutiny on the
ober islands will toon.be terminated as amicably."
