1t has been proposed 10 cStaOIlSh Z new paper III
Malacca, in the Chinese language, in which the lat
-st news from China will be inserted. The Calcut-
ia papers say that considering the number of Chi
nose now resident in the three settlements Of Pin
ong. Maacca, and Singapore, and that they are al
most all able to read, the undertaking will probably
succeed, and if we'll conducted, may not only be
very useful to them, but contribute greatly to afford
/ TO Europeans a much more accurate knowledge Of
that people than they at present possess.
The Malacca Observer, paper recently establish
ed. furnishes some t,ausatons Of little Importance,
from the Chinese Gazette. and observes, s'Ihere is
si!cn silence preserved Ia them concerning the
rebellion of the Alaholnmedan tribes The local
government however. is said 10 consider it in every
way a serious national calamity. HsnppTessed, the
expense will be ruinous and sume individuals, who

of 6OOO troops, was marching towards Tritlee, in

approached it, in order to rec0nnDitre and pillage

than suddenly troop of Russians sailed forth from

the same time was engaged IN battle with the nhab'-
ants Of ShOosh, a city in Arninin. The Russians
closely pursuing the enemy, met the grand army Of
Abbas Meerza, and fought them with great slaugh-

Later accounts from Bombay, given in the India
