N the relation of occurrences in British India during the last year, mention was made of the termination of hostilities between the Nepaulese and the English Company, by a convention concluded with the principal Goorkah chiefs, who resigned a large tract of frontier country. It was, however, thought expedient by the Governor-general to reinforce the army opposite to the Nepaulese; but this measure was at that time sufficient to prevent the renewal of war, and on the 2d of December 1815, a peace was finally settled between the Nepaul and the British governments.

It appears, however, that when the troops were withdrawn, the Nepaulese evinced such a reluctance to fulfil the conditions of the treaty, that it was found absolutely necessary to have recourse to compulsi n. Accordingly, Sir David Ochterlony was again dispatched to the frontier, which he reached about the close of January. That general in the following month sent accounts of his proceedings, the first of which is dated from the camp at Muckwampore, Feb. 28th. It mentions, that after having put in a state of defence the fortified

depôt at Etowndah, he marched forward his remaining force to the ground he then occupied, opposite to which, on a steep hill, he descried on his arrival a strong party of the enemy, which evacuated their position, on which he posted a party of his own. On the very next day, an attack was made upon the British posts by large bodies of the Nepaulese, reckoned at 2000 men with guns and repeated reinforcements; which, during a momentary superiority of numbers, approached close to the village held by the British. This was obstinately disputed by its few defenders, until the arrival of more troops changed the fortune of the day; and from that time the repeated attacks of the enemy, upon the Iritish positions were invariably repulsed, and they were at length driven off in confusion, chiefly by a charge of the 2d battalion of the 8th Native Infantry. The loss of the Nepaule-e was very considerable; and that of the British troops amounted to a total of 45 killed, 175 wounded, and 2 missing. On the whole, as on former occasions, it was evident that they had to contend with antagonists defective neither in courage nor discipline.

PARIS BRADSHAW, Lieut. Col. P. A. GOOROOGUJRAJ

MISSER,

CHUNDER SECKUR UPADEEAH,

A particular account of the military operations at Hurryhurpore will be found in the Supplement of the London Gazette, August 10th.

The Nepaulese fulfilled all the conditions of their treaty, the last of which was the cession of the fort of Nagnee, which took place on April 13th.

In the Bombay Gazettes for February were published relations of proceedings in the province of Cutch, on the northwestern coast of the Peninsula. A force under the command of Col. East had entered that province, and captured the fortress of Anjar, not far from the capital of Cutch. A treaty of alliance was in consequence concluded with the state of Cutch; and a detachment of Col. East's army had been marched under the command of Lieutenant-col. Barclay, to Wagur, for the purpose of reducing that uncivilized district to the authority of the Rao of Cutch, its legitimate sovereign, and of destroying all the fastnesses of the banditti, whose depredations have been so destructive to the neighbouring territories.

A sanguinary tumult occurred in the month of April at the city of Bareilly in Rohilcund. arose from the popular discontent excited in that and the neighbouring towns by the introduction of what is called the Chookedaree establishment, and contributions for which the people of Bareilly had for some time refused to pay. On the 16th, as Mr. Dumbleton, the chief of the place, was riding in the city, the mob made an attack upon him,

and

and killed two of his horsemen. Sending for a party of the provincial battalion for his protection, several of the assailants were killed and wounded, among the latter of whom was the mufti. Some of the leading mussulmans, with a number of the lower class, then quitted their houses, and assembled at the Musjid in the old town, thus giving the quarrel the appearance of a religious dispute. Capt. Boscawen with two companies and two six-pounders was sent to disperse them, and at night took his station close to the insurgents; in the morning, however, he found his force so inferior, that he did not venture to move from his position, and it was thought advisable to send an express for a detachment of Capt. Cunningham's horse stationed at Moo: adabad. The numbers of the insurgents continued to augment, and on the 18th they were joined by several thousands of matchlock and swordmen from Rampoor, Pillibeet, and the Nawab's provinces. Other expre-ses were therefore dispatched for a battalion of the 13th regiment, and for more troops from Futtighur. The rioters had now planted four green standards (the mussulman colour) and posted strong picquets close to Capt. Boscawen's party, which they threatened to attack. Capt. Cunningham, who had arrived with about 150 men of his corps, had been obliged to take a position about half a mile in front of Capt. Boscawen's right flank, the wide plain between them being entirely occupied by the insur gents. On the morning of the 21st, the latter apprised of the

approach of more troops, commenced mienced hostilities, by killing young Mr Leycester, who was walking unarmed between their outposts and Capt Cunningham's station. A general engagement ensued, in which Capt. Boscawen's small party drawn up in a square was surrounded by a whole army; and a desperate charge being made by a body of Puthans sword in hand, they broke in, and were near carrying one of the guns, but were at length driven off with great slaughter. A severe conflict was maintained in other quarters for a considerable time, which finally concluded in expelling the insurgents from their posts in the old town, who gave ground in all directions, and retreated to the new city. The loss was severe on both sides, but much the greatest on that of the aggressors. A force was afterwards assembled in the district of Bareilly sufficient to keep it in awe; and tranquillity, if not good-will, was restored.

No further intelligence of importance respecting the affairs of British India has been transmitted, at least by authority, in the present year; and it may be presumed that the dominion of the Company over its vast territories is at this time so firmly established, that it has no cause of apprehension from the machinations of its open or secret enemies. The native powers appear to be too much at variance with one another to join in any dangerous league against strangers. city of Jypoor in Agra has long been subjected to the assaults of the Nawab Umeer Khan, which
