The recent accounts front 'lndia are by no weaks
of a pleasing nature. The dissaiiirattWit- which per.
vades ottr army, has given enema= to Metif
the native powers who were alone to our do.,
minims by forte, and in various quarters the standard;
of revolt has been raised. The war in Oude and is
Bundelcund was continued to the date of the last die/ '
patches, and Bopal, Kotrah, and many other proving
ces, were in a state of insurrection.
Colonel Martindell's army. which had marched
against Ameer Khan, comprised the 53d regiment,
the first battalions of the 17th and 9.2 d, under Colo;
nel Maubey ; the first battalions of the 19th and 26th,
under Colonel D'Attvergne ; the battalion of light
companies, under Major Kelly; and the brigade of
cavalry, consisting of the Ist, sth, and 6th regiments,
under Colonel F.twcett, 42 European artillerymen,
ten 6-pounders, four howitzers, ant a company of
pioneers. They had, on the 29th January, arrived
it Kimlassa, within three short marches of Seronge,
the capital of Meer .Khan, and waited the arrival of
his heavy artillery (of four 18-pounders and four 12
ditto, four mortars, and two howitzers) from Bun-
dlecund, when it was supposed they would pr )ceed.
to Seronge, and forming a junction under it; walls
with Colonel Close, who had advanced from Hydra-
bad with 10,000 men, lay siege to that fortress.
Serious disturbances took place in the provinte of
Onde at the beginning of this year, in consequence
of the revolt of the Rajah of Nanparalt, a principal
Zemindar in the Vizier's dominions. Six companies
of tho 16th native infantry were sent against him, un-
der the orders of Major Bird, bet the eaemy was so
strongly posted, that it was found necessary to send
Lieutenant Colonel M'Grath with two battalions and
two troops of Cavalry to Major Bird's assistance. On
the approach of Colonel M'Grath, the...enemy aban-
doned Sicrora, and Puragpnre was carried by assault,
with the loss of Lieutenants S. Wooley and W. Ft.
Dixon, of tho Ist battalion of the 9th native infantry,
and 82 sepoys. On the 20th of Eebruary our troops
were advancing from the latter place against the other
fortresses occupied by the rebels ; and it was hoped,
thtt within a month, the campaign would be termi-
nated.
The late dispatches from India announce, that all
differences between the Committee of Supercargoes
and the Chinese Government had been finally adjus.
ted, and that the trtele of the Company has, in every
respect, been restored to its former footing.
Brigadier General Malcolm and suite sailed from
Bombay, on his mission to Persia, on the 11th of Ja•
nuary, and on the day following, Major General

thecia4am, and Monteath, and Messrs. Millions
designn of sending a number of British o&ers
to Persia, under the orders of General Malcolm, for
the purpose of instructing the Persian soldiers in the
European tactics, has been for the present abandoned.
General Malcolm reached Bushire in March. and
seas to proceed on his mission about the 6th or 7th of
April.
Mr. Canning, the Ambassador from the Bengal
Government to the King of Ave, at Rangoon, after
waiting for some time the equi;ant of a state barge,
proceeded up the river on the December.
The Cadets on the' Bengal Establishment, attached
to the Institution of Barassut, were, in February last,
guilty of some acts of insubordination, in consequence
of which, two of them (W. D. Monsell and J. J. A.
Tyler) have been ordered home, and several others
placed under close arrest.
The letters from India contain some further account
of the operations in the Persian Gulph against the ,
pirates. It appears that after a stay of about three
weeks at Muscat to refit, the squadron sailed again
45 the 24th December, accompanied by nearly
if the Imaum's troops, and on the evening of the 31st
arrived before Shinaass—the fort was summoned, and
an refusal was bombarded by the ships and gun.boatss
an the 2d January the troops were landed, and early
it doe morning of the Sd a breach was made in the
min, when one of the towers of the tort fell in, but
it was found impossible to drive the enemy from the
other towers. At two o'clock the place was stormed,
and by five it was in our possession. We had one
man killed, and Lieutenants W. C. Harvey and H.
Taylor, of the 65th regiment, and nine men wounded.
The small fort of Sunnas was all that remained IP
the pirates, and a competent force had proceeded
against it. Our loss in the attack on Luft, comprised
Lieutenant Wild, of the 47th regiment, and 10 men
killed; Lieutenant Warren, of the 65th regiment,
Messrs. Hay and Gray, midshipmen, and 56 soldiers
and seamen wounded.

CANE TOWN, CAPS OF GOOD HOPE, Die. 6.—The
night before last the inhabitants of this town, and die
country around, for the distance of ten or twelve milli.
were alarmed by a violent earthquake : nearly every
house in Cape Town has been damaged; but net one
has fallen on Robin Island ; however, on a small spot
at the mouth of Table Bay, every house has been
thrown down. The ships in the Bay were so much
agitated, that some Officers were thrown out of their
cots. The noise and tremulous motion have recurred
several times sisce, and during the two last nights all
the inhabitants have slept in tents pitched in those parts
within the town most distant from houses.
