EAST INDIES:

MADRAS, FEBRUARY 23:
The campaign against the fix-Rajah Appah Sahib
has been again commenced by Major Duncan, whd
has surprised a considerable body of Goands • and
Arabs, and dispersed them with great loss. Tilt
resources of the Ex-Rajah are now greatly diminished
both in men and money. The best information leaves
him with not more than a few hundred rabble.

The following is an extract of a letter from Colo-
nel Adam's Camp, dated Bulye, Jan. 13, 1819 :
"- I have much pleasure ia acquainting you that
Major Duncan, who was detacl.ed at two o'clock
this morning with the right wing of his battalion, has
just returned, completely successful in having sur-
prised a body of Goands and Pindarries that had for
some time infested and laid waste several villages in
the valley, killed a number of them, .and taken a
large quantity of matchlocks, spears, tattoos, Sze.--
Many articles belonging to our Sepoys who had been
recently plundered by those depredators have been
recovered.'

The report from Caubul of the death of Mahmocd,
turns out to be untrue. That Sovereign is still on
the Throne. Of Shah Shooja we have learned no-
thing in addition to what we have already detailed:
The Calcutta Government Gazette says:—" The
irruption cf Itunjcet Sing, and the renewed efforts of
Shah Shoojah toiegain his kingdom, are to be at-
tributed to the state of things produced by the trea.
cherously putting to death of ltuttih Khan by the
Prince Kam-ran. Considerable commotion still exists •
in the Caubul dominions. Runjeet Sing was driven
from Peshawur by the brothers and followers of
Futtih Khan, and they still hold possession of that
city in defiance and contempt of the royal authority%
It therefore this party succeeds in uniting with that
of Shah Shooja, now, it is supposed, marching
along the banks of the Indus, the cause of Mahmood
may receive a great shock. In the mean time, how.
ever, Kam-ran, the present Governor of Kandahar,
and Heir-Apparent, is not likely to be an idle spec-
tator of the contest. His atarna about the succession,
a short time ago, possibly stimulated him to remove
his enemy, Futtih Khan, from the Counsels of his fa•
titer, and deprive the old Vizier of life."

CALCUTTA, FEBRUARY 1.
Letters from Purneah, dated the R4th ult. state,
that the weather had been remarkably cold in that
neighbourhood, and that for several mornings the
ground was covered with a hoar frost. It is said,
that at Juanl:ore, on the 17th ult. the thermometer
stood at 33 deg. about 20 mirutes after sun-rise, and
that at noon it rose, in the house, to 58 deg. We are
concerned to learn, that this unusual degree of colt:
has produced considerable mischief in the vegetable
kingdom ; and that the Indigo sown last year, in
several s.iistricts, has suffered materially. A letter
just received from Sheergatty, on the road to Benares,
mentions the ruin of all the crops in that district,---
On the 17th, 18th, and 19th, the thermometer was
at 28 deg. a little before day-break, and ice a quarter
of an inch thick was found on every pool. At the
date of the letter, water exposed by night in earthen
vessels was found sufficiently frozen in the morning
to supply ice for the table. The Ryots in the neigh-
bourhood calculate on the loss of one-fourth of their
crops ! The temperature in the vicinity of Calcutta
has become much warmer during the last two or
three days ; and the weatherwise seem to expect rain.
Such a change is particularly desirable, for vegeta-
tion is much in want of refreshment. •
