The interesting and important intelligence (taken from the India Gazettes brought by the last ships from Bengal) shews that the troubles in India are increasing to a very alarming height. The Mahrattas and Tippoo Saib are at open war. The Mysore troops have received a check; and the Mahrattas, flushed with victory, are proceeding to attack Tippoo's fortresses. The Nizam has already taken part with the Mahrattas; he is a very powerful Mahometan Prince, and having hitherto been neuter in all the late troubles, he comes now fresh into action, his coffers full of money, and his country full of people. The next ships will doubtless bring a further account of the progress of this new war; and which of the other country powers are taking, or preparing to take part in it. The Nizam appearing in it, certainly gives it a very formidable aspect.
