Olt f advicea.state, that the army of the Hocken,
ceder the personal command of Sir Thomas Hislop,
as In be broken op on the 31st March, and that his
Excellency was proceeding towards Madras, escorted
by five companies of the Royals, the ride corps, end
rocketera.
Letters from Ahmesiniegur„ dated the `kith lit.,
iinention, that no certain irstellieestee had hit* re.
t sited there in what direction Bajee Ririe had fled,
bet that General Doveton had proceeded towards
.Taolnah, in pursuit of part of the. enemy. Gunput
Row and Ram teen had gone off towards Bassein,
having escaped from the 6111 cavalry and Mysore
horse, which had returned to camp, not being able
to come op with the feeitives.
, We have been favoured with the following parti-
culars of the successful commencement of the military
operations of Brigadier-General Munro, in the
Southern Mahrattas country ; which, although they'
are del of a recent date, yit, as no account of them
,has hitherto appeitred in print, we deem ton creditable
to the indirideals employed on our part to be omitted:
On the VW Dec. Brigadier-General Munro was at
Kliona•gbel, hewing with him two flank and eight
'3attalien c'erepatiies.from the garsrison of Darwar.—
The bitildien C(41011.1144 proceeded the next morning

killed by.tvo MO' thrr.wo among them. From the
local situation of the proainCe; in• which were Gok-
lab's extetraiee Jryterrit, it is evident that, after the
commencement of hostilities by Bajee Row, it would
affOrd'great'factlirieslo the enemy in making excur-
sious Jetts' the Company's territories, aod therefore
('the Brigsdier.Geneter determined' tritake'phssessitan
t( it:. bet as he had *no disposable force then with
him for that purpose, he availed -himself of the aid of
the inhabitants to accomplish his object. He accord.
ingly appointed military Aumildars to most of the
.districts in the enemy's Posso4sion on the Merah side of
Mulpurrah, with ordes to raise peons; and take pos.'
session of as much of their respective districts sicriia
possible; amongst these Aumilde rs, Ram Row, a native
of Mysore, weir eppointvd to Ns welgoond. He got.
possession of above half the districts in a very short.
Ow, and on the 19th of December be marched from
a village about two miles from Nawelgoond with 500
persons to attack Govind Row Goklah, who was at
that place with * body of 700 horse. About 600 of
this body were picqueted in the streets, and an open
space between the Pettah and the Fort. The rest
were mounted - and watching the motions of Ram 1
Row ; but be at noon advanced so rapidly, that he
entered the Pettah befOre the body there could mount
and get oat of it. Their panic was so great, that
they galloped off in every direction without attempt.

about twenty left deed. A' considerable number Of
the enemy were killed; end Govind Row, who com-
manded, escaped 'with difficulty. One of his Sir-
dare was killed-, and the other amended end taken.
On hearing of this defeat, Cassi Row Goklah, who
was then at Bodorni, matched to join his son with
260 horse end 200-foot ; and after collecting the fu-
gitives, he arrived before Nanelgoond bn the 224,
and Ram Row having retired into the old fort, he
occupied the Pettah before day-light of dm 23d; arid
