EAST INDIES.

CALCUrIA, Nov FAIRER 10.

Our intellt,ence from the int alotet India speaks
favourably of the general tlautia.llity of the country,
and the satisfaction of the pco at' ivhig under a
Government whose aim as Weil as whose interest it'
fortunately is to preserve to them the blessings of,
abundance, seculizy, and peace. There at! found
here and there, however, refractory brigands, who
draw around themselves a set 'of 'desperate adven-
turers, and seek, jn resistance to established Authori-
ties, and in plunder of the Peaceable and industrious
part of the population, that gain which neither their
virtues nor their taler.ts would procure for them in a
regular and well-ordered community.
The Beitool Valley, and the whole of the Nagpore
country, have been principally the scene of these late
revolts ; and we have given the details of the-opera-
tions against the revolters these, as they have occur-
red from time to time. The most stubborn and cou-
rageous ,of the enemies with whom our troopshave
had to contend, were Arabs and Goands, and among
the slain the first have been always the most nume-
rous, as being constantly found in the hottest of
the fight.

Lieutenant Cruikshank has particularly distin-
rai:ehed himself in these contests, and Lieutenant
, of the 7th Cavalry, has been so closely engag-
ed as to have had two horses shot under him within
the last two. months, besides being wounded himself.
By their small detachments, a march of 40 miles was
I.•ade, and two battles fought within the space of 26
hours, and she troops bore all with firmness and
cheerfulness, • though 4.• roads over which they
marched were unusually bad, ana Listed no food
till the close of their gallant labouri. The in
the territory of Na` pore are so bad, that it is said
only six camels survived out of 46 that were em-
ployed for a very limited period near the Bank of
lgerbudda.

Major Bowen, of .the Madras army, has also dis-
tinguished himself in several gallant actions with these
Croands and Arabs, and particularly in an affair
against Boordaee, where, the rising of the stream 'in
some nullahs having cut off his expected reinforce-
ments, be bravely dashed on with only 100 infantry,
and drove five times that number out of the town
before him, SOO of whom were afterwards cut up by
rh. 7. •

Major Wilson has also earned his portion of mili-
tary reputation, by the taking of Pa..vnee, another
strong post, seated on the banks of a river, about 25
miles to the S.E. of Nagpore. The details of this gal-
lant storm are such as reflect the highest credit on
the courage and skill of those enga7,ed. The Mogul
horse. who are. attached to Major Wilson's party, -be-
haved also with great bravery, and evinced, x% hat the
conduct of Indian troops has always so conTicuously
shown, that good leaders and brave chicitains are
almost all that are wanting to make disciplined sol-
diers, and courageous men.

The last letters we have from Hussingabad are of.
the date of the 191 of October, and they inform us
that Shei kh •1) uni), a celebrated Piniaree Chief, has
made his appearance in the BeitoolValley with a train
of followers, and that Appall Sahib himself was about
to make a inovenwat to the eastward.

The Maaas troops, adds cur Correspondent, are
taking fort ;titer fait in the noighboarhood of rag-
pore ; and th;; ex,ltajah's lic adds, are so
completely exiimsted, that he ma soon be expected
to effect an escape from his own troops, and throw
himself on the mercy of the enemy whom he has so
fluitlesly'braved. •

CALCUTTA, OCTOBER'2o.

. .
HUSSIN:: AEA r).—'A'e have been favoured with a
private letter horn this quarter, which states, that
though the country is in a state of quiet at present,
the revolting d:kpmizi(in of the people is likely to
furnish stthkient occupation for the troops in the
neighbourhood. Appall Sahid is to be collect-
ing-hit forces ia all directions, :tat! se'.-eal parties of
his actherentt have secured' themselves is forts and
strong holdi.at but a short distance from Nagpore.
A detachment of troops hart gone. out againsothese,
but accounts of the succels of their operations had
not reached. Major .13mven, of the Madras Esta-
blishment, had killed about a3O of the Guands and
Arabs who were in the 13eitoul Valley, and still fur-
ther skirmishes weri likely to take place before per-
manent tranquillity would be rce.tored.

Poomt.n.—Br•te‘e.at letters from this plaice, we
learn that'his Altijesly's 6th lie:inat:nt of .17oot were
on their march:p on, Bombay towards Seroor, which
adds confirmdliOn to what we before stated, rcgart
ing the state,',4 the late Peishwa's territory, and the
neces.,,ity that.exist.ed fur additional force being sent
iato that gdarter.
