E A ST IN DIE



We thought, about two months aro, that the
Bombay army would by this time have
been on the way TO the Gulph Of Persia; but
brigadier general MalcoIrn's mission to that
court has failed, and all hopes Of adding fresh
laurels to the Bombay infantry are for the pre-
sent extnguished. We ought now TO be stu
dying how we should be able to resist or beat
the french in Persia aud India. scindiah's
army is ready. and has lately been in the fold
against the Rsiah Of Jeyporc whom IN a pitched
battle lac has drubbed most uninercifnlly-itis
impossible for any person who knows the tur.
bulent disposition ofthis fellow TO be sorry for
his misfortune. Scindiah's park now consist of
$50 fine guns which IS rather respectable.
Holkar is most actively employed in discipli.
ming his troops, assisted and supported by
most enterpriling and spirited partizan, Nicer
Khan, his former general now an Independent
Rsjsh.
Whether tits by means Of French emissaries,
or from what cause know not, but the country
not Immediately under our Jurisdiction is all
IN arms and ready. The quarrel wi n NV boo.
tram and the capture of the Raah Of Bier, has
opened tile eyes OF government to tie intended
disalleetiou Of our steady ally the Nizam. He
never would have so long maintained the ap-
pellation ofalIy were K not for the good Offices
OF Old Nicer Alum, his prime minister, a re.
port Of whose death made Mypootram rather
TOO premature IN his measures.
