EAST-INDIA INTELLIGENCE.

By the Queen of Bohemia Danish East-Indiaman, arrived a few days ago at Scilly from Batavia, we have received the following intelligence:

The Queen of Bohemia, on her sailing from Batavia, was obliged by stress of weather to make the Island of Cocos, situated on the North-West side of the Island of Sumatra, and about 100 miles South of Acheen, from which place it was reported Commodore Cornwallis's squadron had sailed.

At Cocos a report was in general circulation, that Aulum Shah, the Great Mogul, who was dispossessed of his throne and his right by Goolaum Khader Khan, one of the Rohilla Chiefs in September 1788, and who had since continued in confinement at Delhi, died in December 1790, ninety years old.

This Monarch afforded a wonderful instance of the mutability of human affairs; when he ascended the throne of Delhi, his revenue was 60,000,000 per annum; and at the time of his decease, his allowance from Madajee Scindia did not exceed 1500 rupees per month.

The death of Allum Shah will probably effect a revolution in the Hindostan Empire, which must ultimately prove highly advantageous to this country.

Madajee Scindia, who is the most powerful of the Mahratta Chiefs, has long been the most faithful and friendly of our Asiatic Allies. By the expulsion of the usurper, Goolaum Khader Khan, he had greatly increased his influence at Delhi; and having the chief management of the Empire during the life of Allum Shah, he had made such arrangements as must insure his accession to it. Added to this, he has constantly maintained an army of 50,000 cavalry, and 13,000 foot, to support his pretensions. Mantura, a town between Agra and Delhi, was head quarters; and by this centrical situation he kept both cities in awe of his power, while by acts of kindness, he endeavored to conciliate the affection of the people.
