shawur Peshawur is described as in tcklish

the hhyber Pass are anxious for an opportunity
to sack It.
In the central part of India the affairs Gwalior
are at present most interesting; the Army OF Ex-
else Is assembling at Agra. On Sunday, the 18th
OF November, dispute took place between some
of the troops at Gwalior, which ended IN their
fighting with each other, when 400 were slain on
both sides. khasgeewalla, the usurper, who some
months ago, had enGeavored to oppose the intiu-
ence of the British, had been taken prisoner.
The Times says: There appears to be gen.
era acquiescence throughout India to the British
taking final possession of the territories that once
were Sindiah's. There is no lawful sovereign, for
the child now called to govern is but an adopted
son: and the expressions Of that government have
been such that the whole population wish TO be-
come British subjects, in order TO be saved from
the continual pilage of the relentless and unpaid
soldiery. Bundelkund, which is contiguous to
the Gwalior, also requires the application Of
force to establish regular system. There was
but little doubt that the Governor General, as
soon as the paramount question OF Gwahor was
decided, wauid adopt efficient measures for intro
ducng order and tranquility among the moun-
taineers of Bundelkrnd."
In the North of India great enthusiasm was
raised for the liberation of Colonel Stoddart from
Bokhara. A considerable subscription was raised.
The accounts from Scinde are melancholy, from
the extraordinary sickness prevalent amongst the
troops. Out of an army of about $4,000 men,
about one-third was in the Hospital Sir c. Ma
pier was at Currachee, where his lady had joined
him. Lord Ellenborough was to start about the
26th of November for the North Western pre-
vinces, invested with every power to make peace
or war by special act of the Legislative Council.
The Bombay Correspondent of the London
Morning Chronicle has sent to that journal let
ter, purportng to have been addressed by Sir II.
Pottinger, to friend at Bombay, commenting IN
very severe terms on the policy of the British
Government in taking possession of Scinde.-
The writer of the letter denornces the act as "the
most unprincipled and disgracetul that has ever
stamped the annals of our Empire IN India, =
Lieutenant. Colonel Napier, in communication to
one of the London Journals treats the existence
of such letter as complete fabrication, or II
such letter ras written, states that the writer
has most grossly misrepresented the case.

We have had some discreditabe scenes at
Washington since our last On Wednesday week
afght took place in the House of Represents
tves. 1t is stated that Mr.. Weller, of Ohio, a
few moments before the hour of meeting, Cl2 o.
clock made an assault upon the floor ofthc House
of Representatives upon Mr.. Shriver. the Rcpor
ter and Washington correspondent of the Ealti-
more Patriot Mr. Shriver was without friends
when the attack was made He received many
blows, and was struck several times when upon
the floor, Mr. Wcllcr's friends standing BY and
preventing any interference.
Mr.. Weller during the morning had been
bound over to keep the peace. Messrs Payne
and Bclser of Ala acting his sureties,
Scenes of this kind are indeed disgraccful. and
cannot but greatly injure the character of the
country 1t is but too true, however, that some
fthc political letter writers ofthc day are entire
ly too abusive. But another scene occurred on
Frday--also growing out of statement made
by Washington correspondent. Mr.. e. J. In
gcrsol of Philadelphia county, 9th District,) rose
with paper in his hand understood to be the L.
he charged upon Nathan Sargent, Esq. the cor
respondent of that paper. He pronounced it
false, and called upon the Speaker to deny TO Mr.
Sargent the privilege of the floor. The state
ment was to this effect, that when question was
pending on the Massachusetts, resolutions asking
for an amendment of the constitution, Mr. Ingcr-
soil inquired of Mr.. Adams, if he [Nir A. did
not draw up those resolutions Mr.. A, without
deigning 10 reply TO this impertinent question,
after dignifed look at Mr. Ingersol, turned with
calm dignity TO the Speaker, and called for the
yeas and nays.
Mr. Morris, of Pa rose and observed. in sub
stance, without knowing what was particularly
complained of, that he could youch for the char
actcr of Mr. Sargent as a gentleman of unimpca-
chable vcracity, and one incapable ofdoing injus-
tice TO his colleagues or any one else.
Mr. Adams next rose, and spoke at some
length, maintaining the statement made by Mr.
Sargent.
The debate here took quite 4 dcsultory turn

Mr.. Wise gave il as his opinion, that Mr.. Sar.
