■part of which was On itJ way 

 to the Ukraine, to be sent 

 back, and has given orders for 

 a camp to be formed beyond 

 the Vistula near Warsaw, to 

 cover that city, and to be ready 

 in case of necefsity, to re-en- 

 force the armies of generals 

 Zabiello Judycki. The camp, 

 it is suposed will consist of about 

 10,000 men. The regiment of 

 Lithuanian horse guards, and 

 some other corps, cavalry and 

 infantry, arrived at the spot 

 pitched on, yesterday.

By the arrival of the Nor- 

 thumberland from Madras, has 

 been received a full confirma- 

 tion of the treaty with Tippoo 

 Saibj and though that prince 

 has fliowed some inclination to 

 procrastinate, yet it is not 

 doubted but the steadinefs ol 

 lord Cornwallis, will ultimate- 

 ly compel him to fulfil the sti- 

 pulated conditions : 



The definitive treaty was 

 signed on the 19th of March, 

 and the first payment, viz. one 

 crore and sixty-five lacks of ru- 

 pees has been already made by 

 him. Part of that money it is 

 said has been given to our troops. 



Tippoo's sons, one ten and 

 the other eight years of age, are 

 very accomplilhed princes. 



The present state of things 

 in India will appear by the 

 following extract of a letter to 

 the Editor, dated Fort St Geo. 

 ji7th March 1792, which con- 

 tains the most distinct account

of Tippoo's don^inions that has 

 ever yet appeared in print. 



•' Our diiny ;s still at Seiingapatam ; 

 theie has bjen considerable delay in 

 ascertain ng the value of the money 

 chat had been paid. At last it haii 

 been agreed to take it at its current 

 value. The ascertaining the value of 

 the counaies to be ceded, has als^ 

 been tlie cause of much discufsion, as 

 It is supposed Tippoo has falsified the 

 accounts of the revenue ; all whick 

 might easily have been prevented by 

 naming the counnies to be ceded. The 

 oectliiig of this last point may detain 

 our army some time at Sering ipatam, 

 where the barrennefs of the surround- 

 ing country, the scarcity of forage for 

 the cattle, the sickncl's that is gaining 

 ground in the army, produced r.o doubt 

 0) the filth of so numerous an host en- 

 camped SJ hng on the same ground, 

 causes every delay -to be of serious mo- 

 ment.

" The Mysore country would never'

 of the establifhment that must have 

 been kept there ; it is by no means 

 capable of t)ie same cultivation that 

 the Carnatic is ; the country, it. far as 

 I have seen, and I believe the whole 

 of it, is undulated or jently waved in 

 a wonderfully regular manner; and it 

 is only in the hollows where the rain 

 water can be retained by banks, that 

 rice can be cultivated, which is the 

 great crop, and, where it can be got,
