-but from aversion to discussions that arose on the

conviction resulting from all speculations on Kitbag

those whose in formstion and esperience enabled them

We are enabled to communicate very satisfactory
intelli4ence from India. It was feared, from some of
the previous accounts, that it •ould be difficult to
ci.erk the incursions of the Pitidarrees and the Chiefs
who were cooperating with them, unless the friet►d•
ship of tt.e powerful blahratla Chieftain, DOULET
Row ScinniAll, was secured; and report stated, that
for this purpose arrangements had been made which
promised this assistance to the British Government.

confirmed, and the manner in which the contest witb
these refractory acrd predatory tribes promises to be
closed is not the least agreeable part of the corm unica.

announced in General Orders, dated from the Camp
at Mathews, that SCINDIAM bad signed a Treaty,
engagiog to cooperate actively towardethe esti:Wirral
of those associated freebooters, the Pindarrees. To
an army like ours, advancing in all the confidence
of strength, and longing for we, it might in many
respects be thought more agreeable intelligence, that
they would have to seance a botitile Chieftain by
force; but the Governor-General properly re-
minded the troops, that to carry every desired point
by equity and moderation, was the proudest triumph
for the British character. This is indeed conduct
becoming she representative of the British Govern.
.anent, end we earnestly hope, the Marquis of HAs-
TINCII persevere in thiseme moderate and humane
policy. No►hing is so likely to give security and
lustre to his administration. Savage enemies need
not 415 example uf creek,' to heighten their ferocity.
The Vissdaerees, it is sott.knowit, form a numerous
horde .of predatory warriors, rhi• fly cavalry, who
carry .on the most destructive and unprincipled
system of pillage, falling by turns on all the neigh.

order to promote the gra►iftcation of their mutual
animosities. These incursions have of late been es-

nearly to the mouth of the Ganges, a distance of
700 miles; and it was Strongly believed that SCIN•
DIAU himself had favoured the plans of the free.
hooters on that occavion. However, on the opptosch
of the Governor-General with the British army,
Scurntatt hastened to disavow all counezion with the
Pindarrees, and on the sth Nov. signed the Treaty in
question at Goallbr. The Treaty consists of 12
Articles, by which SCINDIAII binds himself to co.
operate with the British forces in ezpelling the
Pindarrees from their haunts ; to seize, if possi.
hie, their leaders ; and to deliver them op to the
British Government, The lands occupied by them are
to be restored to their fog-lifer owners; and those in
SCINDIAIIII territories are to be held in property by
him. SCINDIAU is to furnish 5000 horse to act in con-
cert with and under the direction of the British. The
other troops of this Chieftain are to occupy such
positions only as shall be designated by the British
Government, and their number is not to be a egment.

The subject of the Money Grants to the Royal
Family, *lnch has been such a theme of disgust to
every tongue, uas again stightly touched open in the

House of Commons last night. Ott the motion for
bringing op the Report on the prOposed sums tp the
Royal Dukes, Mr,. LAMSTON, in order to mark his
sense of the intended increase, moved that the Ream.
lotion for granting 6.0001. a-year additional to the
Duke of CAMBRIDGE be read a second time that day
sit months—tea proposal wli.cit should hare bul the
effect of rescinding the rote, but which, we are sorry
to say, was negatived without a division.
When the Resolution for granting a dower of
60004. a year to the Duchess of Cuomo...ton was
read, Lord Gowen stated that her Royal Highness
had at first felt some delicacy, lest by concurring
in the measure she should seem to separate bee
iu-
crests from those of her Royal Hushind ; but that
he had at lest yielded to his earnest eat reolies,•
and did accept with sincere gratitude the vote of
the House. Lord CASTLERIthGIi bore testimony to
this part of the statement ; but we could have believed
the possibility of this acceptance, without much per.
suasion. There was not much danger that such an
offer would be refilled, untier any contingency, rarer
the plain _dermatitis put forth by these Royal Per-
sonages. Neither male nor female delicacy seems to
stand much ill the way of Royal compliance in this re-
spect. The Princess indeed, comes not into the esijoy.

death ; but 60001. a.) ear is a very pretty thing to look
to, in addition to the jointures of other two husbands,
and in case of the celebration of a fourth marriage.
The vote to the Duke of Comeau:roc, who, from the
iiivime of what he enjoys by his Viceregal office in
Hanover, and his ample Parliamentary and other
provisions, certainly appears to stand in little need
of such a large additional grant in his favour, is
oddly contrasted with the barren lot is-ivied to the
Duke of Cimino'. ton ; and the faces of the respec-
tive brother., when contemplating their different for-
tunes, will doubtless atlord as striking and amusing a
contrast. His Highness of CLAUS:NCB will do everything
for the country, hut—take a wife without a rood!',
sum of money. His countenance is supposed to have
assumed a very scow life! appearance, nut so much at
the mention of thelia thoesand a year granted to him,

The Chamber of Deputies met on the ISA ; bet,
before proceeding to the adjourned diocessitin on the
Bridget, several Petitions were presented. One well
from a widow, residing at Ajaccio„ in Corsica, ie
which she set forth, that her son having been mu--
dined in broad day, and in the public squats', the
murderer wss nevertheless acquitted by the Royal
Court at Ajaccio. She alleged that the judicial or-
ganisation of Corsica was e scourge on the labs.
bitents; and that the murderer of her son bed been
protected by the Attorney-Getters, of that island
liiro.elf. This Petition was referred to the Minister
of Jestice. Another Petition was presented from
the celebrated aeronaut G complainingkitNEßlN, that
they had subjected the perilous enterprises in which
he kad been engaged for the Isst thirty years to • as
similar to that on feasts, balls, concerts, and other
1 public assemblies. The Chamber, however, dismissed
1 the Aeronaut's Petition by the Order of the Div.—
! The Debate on the Budget wa. then !volumed ; when
'Count BIUIGNOT made his Report on the Amend-
metal proposed by the Chamber. Few of these
Iwere adopted, and those of little importance. The
1 Chamber agreed to a Resolution, that in the neat
! Session Ministers should be called upon to present a
!new Project on • the Land Ties, in order to have a
!more equal reparation of it am.org the different
I Communes.
A report, is stated from Vienne, that Dan
Ftt txcts PAUL, the King of SPAIN'S brother, has
hastened to Madrid, on a summons from his Court,
for the purpose of proceeding forthwith to Buenos
Ayres, there to form a new Bourbon dynasty. His
lito, el Ilighoese, we should think, would de well to
**ire, before he undertakes the enterprise, what
Sort of reception he is likely to meet with from
those who call themselves the Authorities of Buenos

Mails from Hatnbargh have also ar►ived, in which
we find it stated that the King of SoEDEN continues
to acquire the confidence cud affection of his subjects
by new sacrifices. He has given up a considerable
sum of money g►anted to the Crown hp the Diet not

The CII“CELLOR of the ExcHeourt has been

of his adviser, Mr. HART DAVIS, and to resort to the
practical eaperienee of the real capitalists is the City.
Yesterday morning a new project, under the false title
of a modification of his first, was sent down to the
Rank, and by them communicated to the Stock La-
change. It is jach such a modification as an amend

the word That, are omitted, and other. in an opposite

he proposes to fund 27 millions of &chapter Bills in
a 34 per Cent. Stock, and he limits the sum to be
raised by subscription of Contorts and Redeced to three
, millions sterling. He adds, that he will provide eleven
millions more by a new issue of Exchequer Bills to
that amount. This plan he is to open to the House
on Monday. This scheme, being digested with the
chief dealers and monied men, was generally accept-
able. Those who had made provision to take ad-
vantage of a Loan will now readily act upon it, and
accordingly k considerable sum was subscribed. Thus
has he been forced completely to yield to the Stock
&change, •and they will profit by his bleeder.
