Lidost, has been able to keep lAs post at Coreganm
co the Beema, in spite of all the efforts of the whole
(ahe Peishwa's army, which was employed during
thegreater part of the Ist and 2d instant, in its en-
deavours to exterminate this little band of heroes.—
The enemy had left Coregaum and proceeded to the
sc,:tbsvard, pursued by the force under Brigadier-
frtncral Smith, which is lightly equipped, and we
ixerell hope will shortly be able tb overtake the

Waives.
Capt uence seen able
Statinton had in conseq
co make a movement towards Seroor with the re-
!alias of his gallant batt
alion, and 125 wounded,
kaving buried 50 at Corezaum.
Lt noticing this very severe loss, we are sorry to
tux that Lieutenant Chisholm, of the Madras Ar-
t:lvry, and Assistant Surgeon Wingate, a very pro-
fiting roan g man of the Bombay Establishment,
L..elv arrived from England, are among the killed ;
ad captain Swanston, of the Madras Establishment,
commanding a body of Auxiliary horse—tieute-
ants Pattison (Adjutant) and Connellon, of the 2d-I st
among the wounded, but we hope not severely.
“ The battalion, when it left Seroor, could not have
exceeded 600 rank and file.
" A royal salute was fired on Sunday last in honour
of the signal victory, obtained by the British force
wader the personal command of Brigadier-General
Dovcton, over the troops of the Rajali of Berar, in
the vicinity of Nagpore, on the 16th ultimo, with the
trilling less of only 150 men killed and wounded.
"De Rajah as a prisoner in the British camp."

There are private letters from the Camp up to the
3.lofJanuary, by which we learn that the Peishwa
has an army of about 30,000 horse and foot, chiefly
horse, by which he hangs on the flanks of the pur-
s4ing army, but will not stand an attack. This ha-
rassing species of warfare keeps the army in the sun
for eight or ten hours daily, and is truly distressing
to the men. In consequence of this tactic on the
part of the Peishwa, General Smith had lodged his
park of artillery, and was about to attack the enemy
by light detachments with gallopers, that is, with
foor•pounders and Shrapnel shot, mounted on light
carriages—a most destructive weapon, and which the
Indian armies never can resist.
Str Evan Nepean had displayed great energy in
affording aid from Bombay to the army in the Dec-
can. He also fitted out an expedition, and took Sa-
rendroog, a strong fortress be.onging to the Peishwa
ce the coast.

EXTRACT Or A TRIVAT6 LETTER.
"Yon will hear that war rages throughout India.
vie know little certain of what is on beyond
capture of tne Rajah of Ilerar, and the defeat of
trJops by General Doveton's force, on the 16th
'4l:4•lnci, and the attack of Holkar's army at Meind-
per, on the 21st, by the divisions of the Madras
araly, under Si: John Malcolm, and the Commander-
In-Chief, Sir Thomas Hislop. In the former action
mu loss was but small; in the latter, however, we
"7M less fortunate, hzvin lost four Officers killed
thirty wounded, besides 700 rank and file in
hoth lists. The loss amongst Holkar's troops is not
let known, but we hear that they were completely
