INIURFLECTION IN 11A/POOTANA.  "We have received private accounts-from Hajpeotana, which give a very unsatisfactory view of the seat of affairs in that part of India. The principal topic of conversation on that interesting land frontier is the alarmingly disturbed stet* of the Jeypore country, and the consequent insecurity to either man or beast passing through it. The chiefs, we learn, are all up in arms against the Ranee Regent and her Minister and lover, Jootha Ram, and they declare their determination not to lay them down so long as this Minister, whom they contemptuously designate, by his low caste, as a Banish, is continued in office. The Boondee Minister was lately assassinated in open butchery; and the assassination of Jootha Ram is daily looked for. Jeypore, with Oudeypore, has been abolished as a separate agency, and placed under the management of that active and upright officer the Hon. Mr. Cavendish, Superintendent of Ajmere. Previously, however, to the late Ihsident, Major Low's depasture from Jeypore, which happened within the last month., he was sent for, it is understood, by the Ranee, who, after giving an appalling statement of the condition of the country from the insurrectionary conduct of the chiefieand of her total impotence, unaided by the British Government, to bring -HIM back to their allegiance, earnestly requested that he would lase no time in submitting to the Governor General her request for three battalions of infantry and a regiment of cavalry for the suppression of their rebellion. The Ranee added, that, as she agreed to bear all the expenses connected with the aid to be given her, and as his Lordship had lately, in the less trying situation of the Biccaneer Rajah, consented to aid him with the whole Nuseerabad force, she could entertain no doubt of his acquiescence in her application for similar succour in her greater distress and difficulties. We have not learned ahat reception her request has met with from his Lordship, hut it seems very probable that it will be refused, as was the late similar application of the Biccanneer Rajah, the terms of the treaties with the Rajpoot States precluding interference in their internal contentious, and binding the British Government only to protection of them against foreign invasion and attack. The Jeypore country intervenes between Nuseerabad and the British provinces, and this state of the interjacent territory, should it continue, will be productive of serious inconvenience in the loss of supplies and the murder of servants by the banditti who now infest the roads. A party of gems in charge of stores has been attacked, and more recently accounts have been receceived of some hackeries with the supplies for the mess of the 26th Native Infantry having been plundered. Military officers passing through the country are certain of insult and refusal of the 'l.llO road supplies. The malcontents announce the withdrawal by the British Government of the political agent from Jeypore as an expulsion by the Jeypore Government of the British authority from the place. In short, we infer, from the whole account that has reached us, that both the Native and British authorities are equally contennuxl, and that the Jeypore territory is in a state of the greatest anarchy and confusion.  .6 Calcutta, Dec. 13.  " Letters from the upper provinces do not serve to allay our apprehensions of disturbances breaking out in states which we had hoped the former success of our policy and our artushad guarded against such evils. They speak of such a degree of disorganization in Rajpootana, which, if left to itself; cannot fail to entail the old evils of pillage and rapine over that part of the country ; and with such scenes in the centre of our dominions it were in vain we fear to look for the permanence of peace in the provinces under our immediate sway.
