Mr. S. BOURNE observed, that the Honourable Baronet's
objection applied nut merely to the present clausa but to several
*aiming bins. When, boa ever, a debt was contracted for the
erection of a workhouse which belonged not only to the pre-

erected the house should alone hear tie burden ? Accoroing it.

EAST INDIA INTELLIGENCE.

[PROM THE CALCUTTA PAPERS TO TUE 30TH NOV.]

Since the ratification of our Treaty with Seindish,
Neer Khan, the active General, had been deprived
of his power in Jeypoor and Jelpoor, and had ac.
ceded to the terms offered bias by the Marquis of
Hastings.
• There are melancholy accoants of the fatal effects
of the prevailing epidemic iu the centre division of
the army.
It is stated that 4;0 natives had fallen a sacrifice to
ft in two days; nor has it been there confined to the
ratites ; eight Et.:opeans have fallen victims to it.—
Letters of the 16th mention, that after rather a long
march the preceding day, many Europeans had been
attacked, ard that the whole road during the march
was strewed with dead and dying natives. An Officer
remarks, " I am fortunate in having lost only two
servants." The accounts of the 17th are still more
atliicting. The number of deaths reported on that day
amounted to 500 natives and 1.9 Europeans. Only
two officers had been attacked, and had speedily re.
corered. The chief mortality was among the camp
followers, and the Sepoys, accustomed to poor fare.
Latidanum, with brandy, was generally successful
when administered in time, and calomel completed
the cure. The following statement of mortality from
this disease many years ago, is said to rest on high
medical authority. At one of the great 3lallaLs held
at Jlurdwar, every twelfth year, in the month of
April, a sudden blast of cold air from the hills, which
came down the course of the Ganges, produced so
fatal and violent a cholera morbus, that '20,000 per-
sons perished in the course of three or four dab s.—
G rest as this Bomber is, it will not appear incredible,
when it is known that nearly a million of people are
supposed to be collected. In common years the nem-
.lber at the fair is estimated at 300,000.

INSURRECTION AT CEYLON.
We are unable to add any thing to the following
notice of an insurrection at Ceylon, which has ap.
peered in the Calcutta Government Gnsette
46 We are concerned to state that accounts have
been received from Ceylon, of an insurrection having
taken place in the interior of that Island, the
object of the Insurgents being to place one itc
the family of the deposed King on the throne of.
Candy. It is to be lamented that one of the cieH
servants in that Pro►ince has fallen a victim to the
fury bf the assembled rabble. We have no further'
particulars of this melancholy event."
ESUPPLEMENT TO THE •RIENTAL STAR, Or NOT. 29]
Since the ratification of the treaty with Scirsdiab,
otherimportantevent hasoccurred, which willgreatly
expedite the object of the present confederacy. Meer
Khan, well known for his bravery, and the preda.
tory system of war which he pursued, has fortunately
L en deprived of his power in the provinces of Jond-
pore end Jyporei the former scenes of his exploits
end devastation. This enterprising and extreor.
dinary Chief has acceded to the terms offered to t.im
by the Marquis of Hastings. The Rajah of Kerow-
loy has also agreed to an amicable arrangement, •rid
engagements with Jondpore and J, pore artiespected
to be immediately formed. •
[FROM TBE BENGAL UURLAIU, Or NOV. 29.]
The contingent of the Berar Rajah amounts to
3,000 horse and 2,000 foot, and was assembled in
the vicinity of Nagpoce, preparatory to marching on
service. This force is under the superintendence of
Major Agnew. The Madras battalions are centoned
on very high ground, about three miles from the Re-
eidency, aid the detachment of the 6th regiment
Bengal Native cavalry, about seven miles on the slope
of a hill. Much rain had fallen in that quarter in the
beginning of this moo& •
