EAST INDiES. 



Britifti affairs in India have ta'<en a very 

 favourable turn: among oHicr encouragirjg 

 circumilances, we extract the ioilowing 

 parTapc fioni the Calcutta Gazette: 



" His Excellency the c< nimatider in 

 thief, having comp eied h s atiaiigemtnts 

 for the re-commencement of opciations 

 againit the town of Bhunpore, changed 

 the ground ot his encampment before 

 Bhurtrore on the 9th of Aonl, and took 

 up his final pifition tor the atiack. The 

 reduced condition of Jelvvunt Kao Hoikai's 

 power, and the maviiteft inability of conti. 

 nuing to afFoid lupport 10 the diciining 

 fortune of that chiettair., added to the pre- 

 parations for the attack ot bliurtj oie, had 

 previoullv induced Rajah Knnjett birg to 

 Ihe tor peace on the sfth ot February, and 

 to ofFtr teim;, whicii, after iome rcgocia- 

 lioii; W'tie, with certain modifications, sc- 

 cepted by Lard L'.kc, urdcr the autlionty 

 ot the Governor General. An agreeirient 

 was accordingly f;rraed on the loth of 

 April, by which Runjeet Sing has ceded 

 to the Honourable Comp.*ny the forcrels 

 of Dceg, and has reliorcd all llie diltrit'ls 

 which were confetred upon him by the 

 Britilh Government after the conclufion of 

 peace with Dowlut Rao Scindia. Runjeet 

 tjirvg has alfo engaged to pay the Akii of 

 twenty lacks of rujiets to the Company — 

 of ihis fum three laclis of rupees are to be 



paid immediately, and the remainder by 

 m!b.iinei);s, ai itated periods. The fonof 

 Runjeet Sing was delivered up to Lord 

 Lake on the i ith of April, as an holiage 

 for the due performance of thel'e engage- 

 men tti. 



" It appears by the mol> authentic ac- 

 counts, that Jeiwunt Rio Hdltai- is redu- 

 ced to the greatcit: liiiuels, and that his 

 force is nearly deilroyed. The troops 

 which remain in his (ervice are not more 

 than futficiciit to form a guard lor th-^ pro- 

 teillon of his perfon, and even tiieie arc 

 entirely difplritcd and hai .(le.- iv the le- 

 veral defeats they hive ruocntiy experien. 

 ccd, and by the continual itate 01 ^larm in 

 whitlr they ii^ve been kept by the p''''':- 

 ve i'lt; activity and vigilance ot the Com- 

 ni'ii der in Caiet. 



" The dominions of the Company ir> 

 Himlodan are in a ifate of tnnquili ty, snd 

 tne b uu!s of robbers -vhich hid drftorbcil 

 certain diitriils of the N..rtb Wehtrn pro- 

 vinces have be< n rxpelled." 



By other oificial documents, dattd al- 

 moll a month later than the above, it ap. 

 pcrs that th:-re is every pobability ot the 

 rcltoration of a general peace in India.

 this geuilernan have been properly aj^pre- 

 ciatrd by the cneiny.

 letter of ilianks. After the Blanche had

 of Li Topr.ze, and he mentioned it to Ge-

 mediately gave orders that I (liould be in-
