Of them ought by this time to be sulli.
GENTLY aware of. Yet do we see them
continually bringing forward the most
palpable. self. evident, ard contradictory
statements, as if to puzzle, not to inform
the public, was their e6ject. Who can

nails without being astonished at the eff
frontery with which the most coDtradic-
tory intelligence is offered to that people,
and the phlegmatic patience with which
50 many false and absurd suggestions are

Of the interference Of G eat Britain in fs-
vor Of Spain against her colonies in South

that an engagement to that effect has
been entered into between the two pew
ers." At the same time the following
paragraph is declared to be extracted

The following is an extract of a
letter from Madras, dated 9th Janu-
airy, 1917 :-"We have nothing talk
ed of here but war! Lord NORA ia
gone into the Upper Provinces of
Bengal. under pretencc of a hunting
excursion but his preparations arc
more of a military nature, and it is
generally conjoctured that he intends
invading the Mahratta Empire, as
soon as the season will permit, with
an army Of $4,000 men. Our from
tiers IT, the northward and Westward

booters. who have laid waste the whole
of the provinces in these directions,
and committed the most shocking out
RACES upon the inhabitants-such as
cutting off their noses, fingers, and o.
tier parts too horrible to describe
They arc acknowledged by no parti-
cular power, but generally believed to
be sent by Scindia, the great Mali
rata chief; and this supposition is
said to be the pretence of the war now
in agitation. The estimated loss to
the company, occasioned by the inya-
sion Of these vagabnnds, is one and a
half millions sterling, A major of
the fourth native cavalry, with de-
tachmcnt of his regiment of 500 men
came up with party of about ten
thousand of these f Vows at Cummun,

took them by surprise, and succeeded
completely in routing them. He gave
no quarter--killed 800 men. and took
one thousand horse, without single
casualty to his own men. This YOU
will say was a glorious achievement /;
and will immortalize the three young
officers (for there were but three) and
the few men that accomplished it."
