It will be remarked that several of the rebels have been executed, which we trust will have a good effect in restoring order. "June 3.-The party which I mentioned in my last, of the 29th ultimo, ordered from the 1st battalion 18th to hold itself in readiness to march at a moment's warning, was merely to escort a brigade of guns to Major Carter's detachment, employed clearing the Gongparrah Pass, from whose force two companies and a couple of sixpounders had been detached towards Pooree (Juggernaut), as reports prevail that the insurgents are assembling in that quarter. However the destination of this said party is not known exactly; although we have every reason to believe that it is intended to reinforce Major Hamilton, in command of that post. The two companies of the 11th regt. under Captain Nicolson are now at Balcottee for the purpose of keeping up our communication with Cuttack, and that in consequence of these steps the inhabitants are returning in that quarter, with the sanction of the Pykes, and under a promise of paying the revenue to them, or whatever power is most predominant. "30th May.-Last night we heard some shots in the jungle to the west of our camp, and at 4 o'clock this morning the insurgents set fire to the village of Mucken Persaud, close to our camp. Several bullockmen were fired at from the jungle, about eight o'clock when going out for forage for their cattle, but no accident occurred. A letter from Pooree of the 29th mentions a party having marched out that day ten miles in search of some rebels, but returned without firing a shot or seeing a man. A party from Captain Armstrong's force this morning attacked some of the rebels not far distant from his post at Baujepore, in or near a village belonging to the Dewan or his son, who it is supposed was at their head; but, as usual, after they fired a few shots from the jungle, they were off. Some grain was taken, and the following day a party was sent to burn the Dewan's house. "31st May.-Between seven and eight o'clock a continued firing was heard in the direction of the hills, which proved to be an attack on Capt. Le Fevre's detachment, stationed at Koordah-ghur, at the foot of the hills, and on a small party of twenty men of his, posted in the stockade up the Pass, eight of whom had just come down to cook; fortunately the escort with the dawk was just passing and saved them from being cut up, together with Captain Le Fevre's getting together as many men as he could and pursuing the party as far as possible. The rebels came close to a tank and some huts and fired into his camp without wounding a man. One man was killed belonging to the rebels, who was an archer, and in all pro bability was obliged to come nearer than a person with a matchlock. Our party up the Pass had one Sepoy killed, and another dangerously wounded, who died shortly after being brought into our camp. The number of rebels were about 200, and their attack upon Captain Le Fevre was evidently with the intention of cutting off the retreat of the party stationed up the Pass. Reports state that four or five others were shot, but carried off. "1st. June.-A letter from the magisgistrate of Cuttack intimates that the Pykes are laying waste the district in all quarters; that the insurrection is extending itself towards Balasore. A company of the 11th regt. left camp this evening to join Major Carter's detachment at Gongparrah, the company of the 18th regt. being ordered to return. 2d June. I think you would not be a little surprised to see, as we did this morning, the dawk escorted from Baujepore to this and back again by a Jemadar's party of 24 sepoys, although the distance does not exceed five miles. I fancy indeed this is not the only one, for other dawks are obliged to be escorted likewise. The Thannah of Gope, and it is said, the only remaining salt works or choukees on the Mahanuddee, have been destroyed by the Pykes; it is reported that fresh outrages are committed daily by the Pykes from Coojung and other parts. "3d June.-Yesterday afternoon information was received of Major Carter having sent out a party the night before, who surrounded a village and took a Sirdar and six of the rebels: the former was ordered to be hanged yesterday, and I make no doubt but the others will be disposed of in like manner. We heard also that Lieut. Pearson had succeeded in getting hold of two, some distance from Peeplee, where he is stationed with two companies, and orders have been sent, so report says, for their being hanged also. Lieut. Herring has arrived in camp with the light company, 2d battalion 18th regt. from Capt. Armstrong's detachment at Baujepore. "It is impossible to say what effect an example of these rebels may have on the minds of the inhabitants. As to the Pykes there are no hopes yet of their coming in, for they can always effect their retreat and keep out of our way in such extensive and thick jungles, if they wish, and at the same time, by their threats, prevent the inhabitants in this quarter from returning. Some villagers have lately been taken in the jungles, and say, that if they were to return, the Pykes would, the first opportunity, take off their heads, and therefore they prefer remaining. Under these cir Late letters from Cuttack mention, that all open resistance was at an end; but add, that the Insurgents, headed by Jugbundoo, had taken to the Jungles, from whence, if they persist, it will be difficult to expel them. The disturbed districts have been traversed in all direc tions by our troops. "From Cuttack we learn, that Mukhoond Deo, the Rajah of Khoordah, and his son, arrived at that station on the 11th ultimo, They were to be conveyed from thence without delay to Calcutta, under a strong escort. Captain Armstrong had nearly completed the works for the protection of Pipley, which our readers will recollect was lately attacked by the insurgents. It is now strong enough to resist any force that can be brought against it. A local corps, to be denominated the Cuttack legion, is to be immediately raised for the protection of the province. We observe that the Pindarees have been attacked and routed on their own territory, to the north of the Nerbudda, by a detachment under Major Clarke. This detachment at one time was within twenty miles of the rendezvous of the famous Seetoo. July 8.-The following is the latest intelligence from Khoordal. Accounts from Khoordah state that the rainy season had set in with great severity in that quarter. There has been no intermission however of military operations. Information had been received by Sir G. Martindell that Jugbundoo and Krishna Chunder had united together with their followers at a village, called Kyapudda; in consequence of which a detachment under Captain Armstrong was directed to march against them, and on the 5th instant about three p. m. they arrived within sight of the enemy, posted on a plain surrounded by thick jungle, But no time was allowed for a steady attack. The insurgents after firing a volley from their matchlocks retreated precipitately, but not before a considerable number of them had fallen by a prompt discharge of our musketry. Captain Armstrong had followed with alacrity, but from the difficulties that opposed him at almost every step, trees having been felled and, thrown across the narrow path to obstruct his progress, he could not over. take them. Four rebels were made pri, soners, and hanged near the village of 'Kyapudda, which was afterwards burnt to the ground. The Pykes, who were a sort of local militia in the pergunnali of Khoordah, are, it is said, disheartened, and begin to show symptoms of returning allegiance. We understand that a great number of villagers have abandoned them, and have thrown themselves on the clemency of government. Their forlorn condition, the uselessness of resistance, and the unfavorableness of the season, seem to have made a due impression on their minds. A detachment of Madras cavalry from the force under the command of General Rumley in Ganjam was daily expected at Khoordah. The body guard is, we understand, under orders to return to Calcutta. We copy from the Asiatic Mirror, the following dreadful account of the dangers experienced by the homeward bound free trader Windsor Castle, which will be read with a fearful interest. "A ship this moment has hove in sight, which only gives me time to state, how unfavourable, as yet, every thing has terminated, since our departure from Saugor We crossed the Equator on the 10th March, and were till the 24th getting to 17 deg. S. and 83 deg. E. when we were overtaken with a heavy gale of wind from the N. E. This unexpected circumstance in this latitude, induced me to believe that something more serious was in store for us, and to prepare the ship for what succeeded. By six p. m. on the, 26th, we were reduced to a close reefed main-topsail and reefed foresail; and although the sea was running almost higher, than I ever beheld It, we continued to scud with great safety, till the wind shifted to S. E. and blowing with increased violence, soon confused the sea, which before ran very regular, and obliged us to bring the ship to under the main-topsail and mizentopsail at three p. m. in which state the ship lay to with more safety than we expected till seven p. m. when the gale increased with indescribable violence. The main-topsail was handed, and a little previous to this, the strength of the wind was such, as to bring the lee gunnel, and lower yard-arms in the water, the sea making now a breach over all parts of the ship. Two tremendous heavy seas broke about the main chains, rolling on the quarter deck and poop, deluging the decks above and below, although the hatches were battened down at the commencement of the gale. The water in the well was now increased to seven feet, and having about four feet also between decks, and the ship lying a log upon the water, consulted on the propriety of cutting away the mast, when she was considerably relieved by the fall of the three topmasts, in a violent gust of wind, the main-topmast giving way first; then the mizen; and about ten minutes after, the fore, taking with it the jib-boom, bowspritcap, fore-top and trusseltrees. As many hands as could now be spared, were employed in bailing the water from between the decks; but finding it without the smallest avail, I conceived it prudent instantly to scuttle the lower deck, which soon relieved the ship and enabled her to lighten, and by eleven, the water in. the well was reduced to five feet, The wind now lulled till midnight, when it sprung up from the S. W. with, if possi ble, a doubled violence, accompanied with vivid lightning and hard rain. Our every exertion was now directed to the pumps, and we were enabled to keep the water below from gaining upon This, awful scene coutinued till five a. m. when the gale suddenly died away, leaving behind it a towering sea and heavy rain. At ten a. m. the sky cleared up, with a light breeze from N. W. and by noon the water in the well was reduced to two feet. We had now to view with regret, the distressed situation of the ship-the upper deck cleared of almost every thing-nearly the whole of our live-stock either killed or washed overboard-the greater part of our baggage, with the provisions and stores, destroyed by the immense quantity of water between decks-the bowsprit badly sprung-the sails, although furled with every precaution, blown out of the gasket, and destroyed below the reefs. us. 2 "The passengers, at an early hour the preceding evening retired to the cabins above, to pass a night of gloom and apprehension. I regret to state that two of the ladies received considerable injury by falling, through the violent motions of the ship. They have however since recovered (Mrs. Hawkins and Mrs. Gall.) I have only now time to say, that we have got our masts, &c. all as much to rights as we can do here, and that we are all (both passengers and ship's company) well. As many persons may be interested in our welfare, perhaps you may think it expedient to put this account in the papers; if you do, recollect, I wrote it in a great hurry. You shall hear from me from the Cape more fully. Our cargo has already settled down about two feet bodily. Of course all the sugar and saltpetre is daily decreasing. I am, my dear sir, in haste.' "W. HORNBLOW." 27 S. 53 E. April 14, 1817." July 24th. On Thursday afternoon last the H. C.'s cruiser Nautilus anchored in the roads from Batavia whence she sailed the 27th of June, having a detachment of the Madras European regiment on board. By this arrival particulars of a serious insurrection at Saparoua, one of the principal residencies dependant upon Amboyna, have been received, in which we regret to find the resident M. Vandenberg, with his wife and family, had been murdered by the natives, and that near two hundred men and officers who had been sent to quell the insurrection had also lost their lives. The insurrection is stated, in private accounts, to have had its origin, in the issue of paper money, the requisition of men for Java, in the resident having caused a woman to be flogged naked in the bazar, his flogging the Lieut. Burguer without just cause, his making the people furnish fish and sago gratis to the troops, and his trusting too much to his writer (a Mr. Arnook). Mrs. Vandenberg, it appears, had written to the Dutch authorities at Amboyna, that her husband had been seized by the natives, that she had taken refuge in the Fort, and praying assistance, a number of seamen from two line of battle ships, with some Dutch and Javanese troops, in all about two hundred and ten persons, were dispatched to Saparoua, under the command of Major Batjes of the engineers. The landing was effected, but in a most unfavourable position it would appear, the natives being able to fire under cover and unseen at the party. Great confusion seems to have prevailed, and the force after proceeding to some distance, finding there was no chance of doing any thing effectual against an enemy so protected,sought a precipitate retreat to the beach, during which many were killed and wounded; among the former was the commanding officer, who was shot while attempting to reach one of the boats. Between forty and fifty seamen perished at once by crowding into a small boat which was swamped by their weight; and of the two hundred and ten persons, only about seventeen, including two officers, a surgeon and two midshipmen, arrived at the residency of Harooka. The Rajah of Sing Soory, who accompanied this unfortunate party, landed with a white flag on his stick, in the hope that the rebels would listen to him, but he was shot through the heart from behind a tree. It is stated in this account, but we should hope the statement is without foundation, that while the party were proceeding to Saparoua, they met two or three prows, and that thinking the people composing the crews were enemies of the Dutch they shot five or six of them without any sort of trial, and that it afterwards turned out these unfortunate persons had no connection whatever with the rebels. Should these statements prove founded, we cannot be surprised at the sway of the Dutch to the eastward recommencing thus inauspicuously. It is further stated, that the natives hoist the English flag, are determined neither to give nor receive quarter, and that they had made two attempts against Harooka, where there are 200 troops. The burghers of Saparoua are said to take an active part in the insurrection, the ringleaders however are reported to be soldiers discharged from the English service. The natives of Harooka are stated to have joined the people of Saporoua, and those of Hila are also understood to be ready for revolt. The body of the unfortunate Rajah of Sing Soory, it appears, was taken without molestation to the beach by his slave boy; where a boat belonging to his master was in waiting. The crew are stated to have shewn the most savage satisfaction when they saw the body of the Rajah and to have refused to take it into the hoat, and vociferating execrations on the Dutch, to have made the best of their way to their own Negree. The heads of the European officers and men who fell into the hands of the natives were stuck upon poles. Names of officers killed: Major Batjes; Capt. Stawin, infantry; Lieut. Munter, R. N.; Lieut. De Young, R. N.; Lieut. Schudrus, R. N. wounded, since dead; midshipmen Messrs. Anemah aud Lid de Jeud. MILITARY APPOINTMENTS. April 2.-Lieut. Jas. Lyon to be adj. to 8th N. C. vice Smith. Lieut. H.
