LONDON, April 19.
EAST-INDIA NEWS.
A packet arrived at Calcutta on the 15th of September last at night, with an express from Cawnpore, dated the 6th of September, and several private letters, from one of which the following is an extract:
"Although Lord Cornwallis is so nigh we cannot tell whether he means to come here (Cawnpore) or proceed to Lucknow first.
"Ramay's troop set off this morning to meet him at Allahabad, by his own order and Ramay is ordered to march it in six days.
"His Lordship is to be at Allahabad about the middle of the month, where the Nabob, and Col. Harper, resident at Lucknow, are to meet him.
"There is the devil to pay at Delhi.
"Scindia has lost all his army, which have left him, and gone over to the Rajah of Jynagur, his enemy: he has now no more authority, on this side Gualior, than I have; but is fled to that garrison, and the Rajahpoots are in chase of him.
"Golaum Kandur, the Rohillah Zablee Caun's son, is now in possession of Delhi, and of the king's person, and has seized on all the provinces, and purgannahs belonging to Scindia, between the hills and Gualior.
"Scindia has sent Bow Buxey to Lord Cornwallis for assistance: and we think these commotions will prevent our being relieved here this season.
"You know the connection between Scindia, and the company, and what assistance he can claim. His affairs are in a very bad state, but if we aid him, it will be the means of enlarging the Great Mogul, who is now a prisoner in his own palace."
