SEPT. 6.1—1 t is settled that the Emperor is to set
out for, Hungary, and perhaps he will spend some
weeks there. The reiterated applications which have
been made for the holding of an extraordinary Diet,
and the solicitations which his Majesty has received
on this subject, have, it is said, determined our august
Sovereign to proceed to Pest, to deliberate with an
assembly of Magnates of the first class, of some Pre-
lates and Deputies of the principal cities, upon the
meaps of procuring the co•operatiun of Hungary in
the execution of the new plan of finance. It is pro-
bable that this assembly will decide, whether it be
necessary to convoke an extraordinary diet, or suffi-
cient to adopt merely provisional measures relative
40 the new impositions, to be afterwards submitted to
the sanction of the states. It is believed that this last
course will be adopted, and that the opening of the
ordinary diet will take place as early as the beginning
of next January.

of Directors shall be known, and to direct them to
proceed to England by the earliest opportunity.
The Commander-in-Chief is requested to direct that

BUNDLECUND ARMY.
(From the MADRAS Comma, February 27.)
Our last accounts from the Bundlecund army are
of the 25th ult. They were then encamped at a
place called Binderee, situated between Kinlassa and
Maltown. They had left Goolgunge on the 14th,
and began to ascend the Ghauts on the 16th of Ja-
nuary. Passing then by Heerapore and Boxab, they
arrived at a place called Roroun, from whence on the I
morning of the 23d, they bent their course to the ri-
ver Doosun, which is considered as the southern
boundary of Bundlecund. They crossed the river on
the 24th, and proceeded on the high road to Saghur,
which place they expected to reach in a day or two.
The progress of the detachment had hitherto been
considerably retarded by the badness of the roads and
i the intricate and difficult nature of the passes through
