The Thalia, frigate has arrived at Portsmouth from the E. Indies, with dispatches. She sailed from the Ganges on the 21st March, and from St. Helena on the 9th ult.
The peace in India, we fear, has been but of short duration. Letters, we understand, have been received by the Thalia, which mention, that apprehensions were entertained of the war being renewed, both with Scindia and Holkar. Indeed, a letter received by a gentleman of the first respectability, advises him of the death of his brother, who, it is stated, fell in an assault made on the 21st of February, upon the fort of Gwalior, occupied by Scindia and his troops. Scindia, in consequence of the late treaty, was put in possession of Gwalior about 6 weeks previous to the time when this attack upon it is stated to have been made.
