LONDON.
Feb. 7. The intelligence lately received from the East-Indies of disturbances in the provinces of Bengal, and the causes of them being variably related, we are sorry to acquaint our readers that we have good authority to say, these disturbances have arisen chiefly, if not wholly, from the very unjustifiable conduct of some of the Company's servants, whose continual abuses of the Company's authority to their own private emolument, and to the prejudice of the just rights of the country government, which neither the prudent remonstrances, nor the disinterested conduct of the governor, were able to restrain, having provoked the Nabob to some violent measures on his part, have at length produced an open rupture.
