cutta papers to the 26th February brought by the Braganza. They contain details of several battles In India, between the British and native troops, in all of which the British had been completely successful. The war in India would no doubt be shortly brought to a close, as most of the native troops had been cut up and dispersed, and nearly all their strong places had fallen into the hands of the English. . " The London Courier May 7, in speaking of the disorder which broke out in the camp of the Marquis of Hastings, in India, says " This epedemic, mistakenly called in the southern provinces the cholera morbus, had all the characters of a decided pestilence. It had been gradually making its way along the banks of the Ganges and the Jumna, and suddenlybroke out in the British camp. In the first day upon which it was distinctly recognized, ninety-seven deaths were reported, on the next, about five hundred in the camp. Never, it is said, was a scene so dreadful witnessed. The dead and dying strewed every road. On all sides were heard the wailings of those who were seized and gave themselves up to despair. At that time the malady was chiefly confined to camp followers. Among the troops, Europeans as well as native, who live well, . the mortality was much less than among other classes ; but the loss, even among them, was severe, in the Governor General's establishment alone (who had himself been slightly affected,) eighteen native servants died. " The remedy which was commonly administered upon the first appearance of the complaint, was a tea-spoon full of laudanum in a glass of brandy. This, in general retarded the progress of the disorder, & afforded time for further cure ; but in many cases the ma. lady was so rapid as to leave no opportunity for 2dmipistcring medicine. Natives were seen to fall suddenly, without any pre vious sensation of illness, and die in a few minutes. ' There were upwards of fifteen hundred native troops sick on the 23d of November, but most of them were doing so well, that but few deaths were apprehended out of this number, and the further" spreading of this dreadful scourge appeared to be stayed."

of trie proceedings of the house of commons, that the alarming distemper prevailing in Ireland is partly owing to the window tax ": by way of evading it, the poorer classes block up their windows, so as to exclude the air, and thereby render their houses so many nurseries of contagion, the cause of so many fevers : and it was the unanimous opinion of the faculty that unless their residences Vvere more freely ventilated, a plague would be the consequence. As this tax produced two hundred and fifty thousand pounds per annum, the chancellor of the exchequer would not consent to its abolition : a motion to this effect Was consequently lost. Twenty pounds penalty is levied when officers are resisted in examining if the law is evaded. The best way to get clear of being buried alive in these miserable dwellings, is to join their emigrant brethren in A merica, where they may freely enjoy light & air from the shores of the Atlantic to the Pacific, without the visitation of a window tax gatherer.

The subject under consideration was the propriety of permitting the return of certain Frenchmen proscribed for an attachment to Napoleon Bonaparte, or a supposed hostility to the present king of France. We have particular satisfaction in stating that it was determined, by an ananimous vote, to recal the first and second lists of the proscribed N. T. Repttb. Chron.
