STATE OF THE INDIA WARi
London, April cs.
The following is an extra# of a letter from an effi
c<*r of the 74th regiment, dated Bareilly, Nov. SO.
We have juft arrived at this place after a fariru;.-’r
in irch oJ 24 miles, the prncipal p^rt we have disputed
inch hy inch. ! have frequently been engaged with
the native powers, but never experienced fo determin
'd an opposition as was yefterjay met from Bcaing
ding, with a bojy of picked men. The a#ion raged
from noon till fun fet, and was maintained with un
i common flaughter. The enemy flood their ground,
! with their gnus at intervals, till we marched up ro tbit
very mr.tzles of them, Under a fhowrrof mufquetrv.
I he Ion of Ragojee Bhoofla had two horics killed un
der him, and effe#ed his efcapr on a third, after hav
ing been feverely wounded by an European dragoon,
. with whom ha was engaged hand to hard. hive of
the Berar officers arc b.id ft> have bean killed iti at
tempting to reh tie him from the perilous fitnation into
which his temerity had hd him,—Bering Fing w
unhorfed, and fought for a coniiderabic time on foot
before his attendants could rc inflate him ; he is fUp
pofed to have been mnrt.iliy wounded. The deter
minpil gallantry of tl.fc remains »*f the 74th and 78th
fegiments will never oe forgotton ; tliey followed up
•their advantage in the moll rapid manner, and with an
coherence* to dif'ipline unequalled i:i tiicauiuls of dri
tifh waifare i:i India.
1 he predator)* flatcs, compofing the Mahratta
pov/er, have never been united un !er any regular
for n of confederation, r.r. by any f) Item of cpnftnuti
• 1 al laws, thrt can be compared to any conilirutinrt in
Europe. A Vague and indefinite fentiineift of common
inu: !.fi, however* has efla .’lifted a certain decree of
union among them, from the period «l their fu’ft fuc
se^- s, throughout every ftage of ti e d-tlin. of the
Mogul tnpire. The lainc indefinite but acknowledg
ed confederacy h*« fubfifted between the Mahratt is
line* the e;itir- <kfiru#ion of the Mogul empire, and
teguher with other caufes, has c;*'bied ftweral of
thefe adventurers to ere# ftates of codfiderable milita
ry refources and political power. 'Eh- power of the
Paifhwa ha* for many year* b ■ u acknowledged by
the M .hrattas, including the Kujahof Berat—and the
Piaftiwa is univcrfally acknowledged in India, as rhe
conflifittional reprufentaMve of the Main all a empire.
Scmdia kaabeeu the c'. vf.ain wh* ius ojipoied the
I canftitu’id authority of the Puiihwra; ai d, wi h Ms
I confederates, brought on tiie war, which h_» proved lo
difullrous to him and his allies.
From the 8:h ct Augyft.tbe day onwbith Lofti!:
; ties commenced, to ti e lft of November, the ihv Hi
| army has conquered al! the poiTeffion* of Sci..dia in
i rerat, the city of Bonrhaupoor in Candeiffi, the p>-o
j Vince of Cuttack in (>rifla, the Maliratu dominions be
tween the Jumna and the Ganges; the city ol DnK,
, and tiie ri,jht bank of the Jun.ua ; the city of A, ra, &
’ tiie adjoining territory ; lias reduced by ilonn tiie for
tified town ol Ahmcdnagur, the forts of Air Ghur,
B.iroach, and Cuttack; and’by capitulation, after hav
ing opened the batteries, the forts of Abmednaghur,
ol Powanghur and Chainpinu-r ; the tort of Oilee (
hiir, denominated the key of tiie Dekan ; and die ioit
[ of Agra, denominated the hey of Hmdoftan ; and has
(defeated the enemy in three general engagements:
At Delhi on the 11 th September, at A'Tye, on’ the st:5d
( September, and at Lafwaree on the lft .November :
! hiV*ug t*‘ken, according to official returns, on die field
1 of battle, in thofe engagements, and under the walls of
A;,ra pieces of ordnance, 50C0 (land of arms, ”15
■ tumbrils and 51 ftand of colours, with a large quantity
ol dores, baggage, camp-equipage and ammunition.
I ^ he official returns of the artillery, (lores. &c. ta
ken from the enemy, have not yet been received from
Ahmcdnagur, Iioroach, the forts of Delhi, Terozebad,
Champoneer. Powangur J.ilnahpoor, Cuttack, Boork
ai.poor and Offcerghur: but the amount of the re
turns a (dually received, of ordnance taken in the leve
r»l forts, exclufive of that taken in the field of battle, is
(our hundred and forty-Evc pieces of ordnance, exclu
five of tumbrils, (lores &c. making the total number
of ordnance, of which returns have been received, cap
tured from the 8th of Auguft to die lft of November,
feven hundred and thirteen. The progrefs and rcfult
of thofc fuccefsful operations, have reftored his hi *h- !
nefs the Paifhwa to liisfovereign authority at Poonah !
[and the Britifn as viceroys over him] and cemented I
our alliance-with that prince; have fecured the'fuc
ceffion ol the legitimate heir of the fovereign prince of !
Dekan to the government of his dveeafed father, the 1
late Nizam ; has proto&ed the Britifti ir.tereft at Hy
derabad from injury ; have confirmed the (lability of
the treaties, by which the French were expelled from
tne Dekan in 1793 ; and have delivered the aged, ve- •
nerable and unfortunate emperor of Hindoftan, from
ir.itery and ignominy, and from indigence and bondage,
art. from tiie hands of the French [iu svhofe baud', lie j
never was, nor within 20tX) miles of their fettle- I
ments]. A confident expectation may be entertained, j
that under the preflure of accumulated defeat, with the
aggregate lofs of refources, power, military fttength, & •
dominion in every quarter of India, the confederate j
i.iol.uratta chiefs Dowlut Rao Scindia and the Rajah J
of jJcrar, Mood.'je Bonielah mull fpeeiily be compel- '
h d to accede to fuch terms of pacification, as ftiall be
calculated to deprive them of the means of difturbiug
our pofTefiions, and of impairing tiie efficacy and llabi^ !
lity of our alliance.
Under fuch a general pacification, it is reafonable ro '
rvped» that where confuicrable augmentations of luf
Ire and glory of the Britiih amis in India, will be com- I
bined the accoriiplilbment of a comprehend ve fyftem !
of alliance and political connexion in Hinduftan and •
Dekan, calculated to promote the general 1
of India, to fecure on the moft permanent foundations
t.ie intereil and dominion of the Britifh nation, againft
the attempt ol any Indian or Eurojiean power, and to
deftroy the lull remnant of French influence iu India. j
The overland difpatch which arrived during laG
week, prepared the public mind for Inch event?, it
Gates, that Scindia, fince his defeat at Allye, has given
w.ry to the utmoll temerity and tyranny ; lie has de
graded two of his generals, and fentenred them to per
petual imprifonment, and one of his chief Sirdars (Sir
dar, is a general or commander) who ventured to ex- j
poGulate, was immediately decapitated, and the car- 1
cafe fufpended by the heels from a tree. This rigor
which was defignedto uphold his declining authority
Jut produced a different effe& ; an ex ten five mutiny
eufued, and he was obliged to diOrihutc large hums of
money and make great promifes to appeafe it: up
wards of two thoufand cavalry however, left his camp
in a body,and have fince returned to their refpedive •
dlirncis.
A body of Sepoys has kran difpatchcd againft E- 1
wanpiifey a fortrefs belonging to Scindia, on the fouth *
eatt frout’Cr of Berar.
The Goau^s, [perhaps the Jaats] in retaliation of '
tlie uijuries mnidled on them by the Mahrattas, have !
entered the province of Beeraghur in great force, del'- !
troyed numerous villages and depopulated a great tradt '
of country. •
Nagpoor, belonging to the Berar Rajah, Is probably
in our hands ; it is the capital of the eaftem Mahrat
tas. It is very exfenfive and populous but meanly
btti't.ard defencelcfs, excepting fome works which the
Boofhlali has ordered to be conftru&ed in reference to j
the pref«*n» war. j
The vidlory obtained by gcrtral Lake on the 1ft1
Nove mber over the forces of Sciiulea, was cch brated i
by me PaiGnvaat Poonah with great ceremony a„d !
feri. iiv ; this event was Highly fortunate for his hiyh- :
