NAUTICAL INTELLIGENCE.

The following letter has been published by government, and gives information important to nautical men.

To the President and Members of the Marine Board.

Gentlemen,-Being commander of the private ship Hibernia, of London, and lately arrived in the roads, I beg leave to make known to you, that on my late passage from England I touched at the island of Tristan de Cunha to get water on the 9th of April last; and that after taking our departure from there, on the 12th, at half past 11 A.M., having run three hundred and fity-seven miles per log on a E. b. S. course, with a free wind all the time, fell in with three sunken rocks, one of which we very narrowly escaped being on; there appeared to be about nine feet water on the one we had close along side, latitude 37 31 south, 4 42 west; the three rocks form almost a triangle, and all within the bounds of a cable's length; being so much alarmed at the time, and the ship going at the rate of seven knots, hall no opportunity of sounding on them. I am fully convinced of the facts before stated, as well as my first officer and several of the watch on deck at the time. And am, &c. &c. (Signed) John Lennon. Madras, 28th June 1817.

BOMBAY.

Nov. 5.-Letters from the Head Quarters of his Excellency, the most noble the reached us to the date of the 24th Oct. Governor General, at Secundra, have They speak with confidence of the speedy pacific termination of his lordship's measures, in regard to the native powers of Upper India. It is impossible to do justice to the wisdom and vigour which have hitherto guided his excellency's policy, in accomplishing measures the most important to the peace and prosperity of British India, of any that have been adopted since the treaty of Bassein. termination, the most honorable to the British character, and tending to consolidate our interests on the most safe and permanent foundation, will soon, it is ex. pected, reward the noble marquis's exertions, and enable his lordship to return to the seat of government, and the gallant and highly equipt divisions of the army, now in the field, to their respective

cantonments.

A

It is stated in an Ukhbar from Holkar's camp that Mr. Elphinstone the resident at Poonah had informed the Peishwa, that the British government intended to restore the provinces, which had been lately ceded by him. It is also stated, that Kureem Khawn, a celebrated Pindari chief, had been set at liberty, and had commenced his wonted devastations. The British government had consequently expressed its displeasure at this act on the part of Holkar; but the vakeel attempt

ed to exculpate his master, by alleging that Ghaffoor Khawn, a rebellious commander, had liberated the robber. The Jaypoor Rajah had demanded the Rajah of Kalsee to deliver up that fortress, which was refused: the parties were therefore expected to come to a battle. Ameer Khawn is still before Madharj

Poorah.

The Peishwa by the last accounts was continuing his retreat to the southward, closely pursued by Brigadier-Gen. Smith,

who was on the 26th November at the foot of the Saulpah Ghaut. There had been some skirmishing with broken parties of the Peishwa's army, in which about two hundred of the latter had been killed or wounded.

The forces under the Marquis of Hastings on the one hand, and Sir Thomas Hislop on the other, were approaching each other in opposite directions towards the seat of the Pindari association.

The Rajah of Berar had taken up arms against the Subsidiary force established in his dominions, which is in effect, a declaration of war against the Company; and could never have been thought of by the Berar, though a powerful Mahratta state, unless in concert with Scindia, Hol. kar, and the Peishwa. The last chief, though obliged to quit Poonah, is able to keep the field.

The Peishwa being in alliance with the British in 1804, Severn Droog was taken in the name of his Highness by Colonel Grant, the fortress was then held by a most atrocious Maharatta rebel, Hurry Bullal.

[merged small][ocr errors]

Nov. 19.-Treaty with Scindiah.-A report has reached us, and we have reason to believe a well founded report, that Scindiah has acceded to all the terms, proposed to him by the most noble the Marquis of Hastings. We are not of course as yet acquainted with these terms; but it is said, among others, that Scindiah has agreed to fix his future residence at Gualior, from which he is not to depart without permission of the British government; that he is to aid and assist this government against their Pindarie enemies, and as a guarantee of his abiding by the terms of the treaty, is to deliver over to the hon. Company five of his principal fortresses, among which Nurwar and Assecr Ghur are named. This important measure, so necessary to the peace and security of the British territories, reflects a lustre on the most noble Marquis who has accomplished it, not surpassed by the most brilliant acts of his

political life, and can only be duly appreciated by those who know the difficulties which his Lordship had to encounter in restoring the superiority of British power over states which have for a long time been suffering all manner of political evils.

Letters from Hussingabad state, that Sir John Malcolmn had concluded treaties of amity and friendship with several chiefs on the Nerbudda.

lown, Nov. 1.-"On the 25th, the diviExtract of a Letter, dated Camp Jalsion marched to Ooriah, a village situated higher up the Jumna. During the 27th and 28th the troops crossed the Jumna by a bridge of boats constructed at Shurghur near Ooriah, and encamped about a mile and a half from the right bank. A stockaded work was thrown up to cover the bridge on the right bank, whilst two 18-pounders iron were placed in position on the left bank, which is high and steep, one on the right and the other on the left of the bridge. These measures being taken for the defence of this important pass, the division marched in a southerly direction about twelve miles to Loharee, on the 29th and on the 30th (still in a southerly direction) eleven miles to this place, which is a large and populous town.

"Nothing has transpired in regard to our future movements, although Gohud and Gwalior seem to be their object. If we may judge from the circumstance of the brigades, composing the light field train, being constantly on halting days out practising a new set of manœuvres adapted to the most rapid movements of the line on any kind of ground, whether of a hilly or level feature, and said to be taken from the system in use with the Bavarian artillery, doubtless soine very active service is expected in some quarter or other.

"The weather until very lately has been unusually hot for the season of the year; however, from the westerly winds having of late prevailed, we are in hopes soon of enjoying a more congenial temperature.

"N. B. The maps of India now extant are so very incorrect in respect to the Upper Provinces, that it will be very difficult to trace on them the different routes pursuing by the grand army."

Ukhbars.-Holkar's camp was at Sewasah on the 24th Sept. No settlement had been made with his mutinous troops; but Ameer Khawn was expected soon to pay them a visit.

Runjeet Singh, who was at Lahore on the 3d of September, has ordered his artillery to march towards Ramnaghur, where he would soon follow with his ow

[ocr errors]

camp. The object of these movements is not known.

King Madmood Shah is at Cabul, and had received letters from Prince Feerozul'men, stating, that Mudud Khawn had gone over to the Prince of Gourban, by whom he was received with much respect. Shah Zemann, and his sons, were also at Gourban, and in a few days intended to proceed to Harraut. On receiving this information, Mahmoud desired the prince to use every endeavour to detach these chiefs from the Gourban interest.

It appears that Prince Camran, anxious to repair the breach betwixt him and Vizier Futteh Khawn, had requested the latter to forget past offences, promising to be guided by his councils for the future. The vizier, however, reproached the prince with having, through the advice of flåtterers, attempted to take away his life, and refused to trust in his promises of future safety.

A great death of grain has been felt in Moultan: on the 6th October wheat was selling at the rate of 13 seers for a rupee.

Ameer Khawn has withdrawn his army from the Fort of Mudharajpoorah.

Extract of a Letter from Khoordah.The following extract affords hopes of a speedy termination of the disturbance at Cuttack :

"Camp Khoordah, Oct. 8, 1817. "On the 2d ult. we lost a most valuable officer, Capt. Armstrong, 2d batt. 18th regt. He commanded five companies at Rameesur, and was most active in driving Jugbundoo and the confederates from their several posts in the jungles. Capt. Rennett of the 18th, with five companies and two three-pounders, left Cuttack by water to quell the rebellion in Coojung. He sailed on the 14th, and came to Parrah Deep on the morning of the 16th, when observing a strong stockade at the landing place, he directed his boats full against it, landed his men and guns, and after some firing the rebels fled; he dashed into the village, where the fellows had guns, one and three-pounders, mounted at the head of each street; these he nstantly captured and took several of the Rajah's wives and children,-the Rajah himself narrowly escaped.

"On the 16th the Pykes attacked him in force, but were defeated with heavy loss; the head molungee, or port-ad miral, one of his principal advisers, was wounded and taken prisoner. Capt. Rennett was wounded near the groin by an arrow, and 4 sepoys were slightly wounded. He took here 8 guns, several stand of arms, 2 elephants and 10 horses.

"The communication with Cuttack being shut up by a body of Pykes, and no advices reaching us from Parrah Deep,

Sir Gabriel Martindell detached Capt. Simpson with two companies by water to open it. The Rajah having suffered severely on the 16th and 18th, delivered himself up on the 19th, and brought in prisoners two of his principal advisers, who are now in irons, and will, I conclude, be hanged immediately. Every thing, by the last accounts from that quarter, is settled.

"Citizen Jugbundoo, who looked to a powerful diversion in that quarter, must have been in despair when he heard that the insurrection was quelled in a few days he has not above 400 with him, and the majority of these, except the proscribed Sirdars, will quit him the moment the state of the country will admit of our moving. At present the whole is a sheet of water towards Rameesur."
