SINCE our Summary of Indian news was made up, an overland despatch has arrived from Bombay, by which it appears that the Gordian knot of Central Indian politics had at last been cut, by the fall of Bhurtpore. This highly important and gratifying intelligence was received at the India House on the 26th ultimo, the despatch being dated the 4th of February, having therefore been nearly four months in the transit from Bombay. It reports that the fortress was carried by storm on the 18th of January, by the army under Lord Combermere, who has thus commenced his Indian career with an achievement which will raise his name very high among the warlike chiefs of Hindoostan. Doorjun Sall, the usurping Rajah, and his son, were taken prisoners; and the whole fortress, with its troops, ammunition, and property of every description, has fallen into the hands of the British Commander. The citadel surrendered at discretion on the evening of the 18th, and the loss sustained by our troops has been rated, by rumour, at 500 men, with eighteen officers killed and wounded; but the official despatch is said to afford no details on the subject, having been sent off, it is supposed, before any accurate accounts of the loss could be collected. The despatch to the Court of Directors came by the way of Constantinople, whence it was transmitted by Mr. Cartwright, British Consul-General in that capital. It had been reported that Bulwunt Singh, the rightful heir of the throne, was to he put to death the moment an assault on the fort was made, and if so there will be further cause to lament that the Bengal Government slighted the advice of Sir David Ochterlony, whose prompt statesman-like measures would have saved all this effusion of blood. No later intelligence could have been received by this despatch respecting the reported peace with the Burmese, than that received by the Childe Harold from Madras, in the end of January, as Bombay is a much more indirect a channel of communication. The rumour which accompanied this despatch, that the peace with the Burmese had been ratified, is said to have been received through the channel of the British Resident in Persia; but it is not official, and probably, therefore, it is merely another version of the letter dated Patanagob, quoted in the preceding pages. As that letter was dated the 3d of January, and Bhurtpore fell on the 18th of that month, while the despatch containing the news of this event is dated Bombay, February 4, it is evident no later intelligence could have arrived through that channel, across the whole Indian Peninsula from Burmah; and it is highly improbable that such intelligence could have reached us through Persia in any authentic form worthy of reliance.
