was 10 effect u treaty OF alliance with the
R,jah Of Jy2orc. To accomplish this end
Lord Moita was on the point OF taking anoth-
es journey up the country.
= rGn Madras we learn that Lord Moire
had prevailed upon the Raj jah Of Nagpoor TO
receive a subsidiary force. A force is also
to be stationed in Bopsul, and if Seineia will
not receive one OF his own accord, be is to be
attacked forthwith {; rather than quarrel With
the British, il is believed hewil submit to
tho proposition. These arrangements, il
ought TO be understood, are intended TO put
an epd TO he fu,ther intercourse and devasi-
sions OF the riojatces. Their depredstions
in the Circss have been dreadful. aod the
government, is much blamed in India for
having leh that part Of our possession SO en-.
