By letters received by the William Pi'! MO
4 .
learn the following particulars :—Colonel Cr;o4a;
who had pursued MEER KHAN beyond the Near.
buddah, was returning with his army to his for-
mer station, beitsg unable to come up with the fu.
gitive Chieftain, who, though now deserted by al-
most the whole of his followers, would easily find
means to collect them again upon a favourable op.
portunity. Before Colonel CLossia army had
orisssed the Neerbuddah, two regiments of 'native-

cavalry, which cotnposed a part of the expedition,
intended to demand an increase of pay ; but Cts.
CLOSE, having received intimation of-their design
the Morning before the river *as to be forded, or-
dered some arrangements to be made, which placed
the native cavalry between the Etiropeans, and in
front of the artillery ; and then gave his orders for
the cavalry to cross the river. The cavalry being
thus placed in a situation so entirely commanded,
went forward its obedience to the orders of their
Commander, without preferring their intended de.
wand. It is, however, believed that Colonic' CLOSE
had found it expedieut ultimately to grant an iu.
crease of one rupee per month, and a seer of rice j
per day. . . •
In the course of the expedition in pursuit of
MEER KHAN, a Lieutenant Davinsoza had placed
a .Subahilar (a native officer *hose rank corresponds
with that of Captain) tinder erre*. The Seltandar,
while a prisoner, appealed to Colonel CLOSE,. and
preferred, being still a prisoner, a complaint against.
Mr. DAvtoscpc, alleging• that he made use of •the
-CompanPs grain to feed his (DAvtosost's) horse.'
The Strbandar was released from his r -rest ; Mr.
Diviesow wai brought..to a Court. Martial, aud
suspended for three months.
Captain SYDENSIAAI, late resident at Ifyderaitatl,
has resigned? it is said, in consequence of an allu.
sion made to him in the general orders published by
General GOwpte
.and Lord Mtwro, on the
.ac-
quittal of Colonel Dov ETON.
General MALCOLM, late Ambassador to the Court
of Persia, it is said, is about to leave India.
The agency of the army-clothing has been taken

terns, and transferred to Colonel limes. •

The Magistrates are in possession of information
that will lead to the detection of a considerable
number of notorious and abominable delinquents.
Their attention should be particularly directed to
those in high life guilty of such abominations. .h.
,is by sufferinf such wretches to be at large that the
vice is spreAing to so alarming an extent. One
!movie in high life would be better than fifty in
low, for it was a true observation of the shrewd
trish Judge ST. LEGEII, 44 That the hanging 9u4.
rogge in ruffles was of more public benefit than'
hanging a hundred in brogues."
Nut wjthstautling the exemplary severities.recently
exercised upon the wretches convicted at Clerke.n.
well, Ave understand that a new rendevons
been discovered in Eagle-street, Red Lidn.srave,
where a number of miscreants were taken on 1 hurl-
day night and conveyed to the watch.:house.
We understand, that a linen-draper and hisshop.
man were taken up on Wednesday night for Ifie
crime for 006 the au' wretches stood in the pH.
Jury.
