From the ASIATIC MIRROR
CALCUTTA, January 21, 1795.
Notwithllasiiing the furraifeS of a rupture be
tween the Nizam and Pci/hwa, with which the brain,
of some Calcutta politicians have lately teemed, we
have reason to believe that the misunderstanding
that at present fubfills between these powers will be
amicably adjiuled.
The crafty Tippoo, attentive to every movement
that occurs in tlic Indian- PeojVfula,..fondly hoped
that the late iiifurrt ftion in Rohilcttrwf" uvgii: ljave
led to fe'ious consequences, and afforded h!ai an
opportunity of endeavoring to retrieve some fhaie
at that power and consequence he loft in the Jate
war. But hi* expectations being defeated by the
re establishment of tranquility to the Northward,
his only remaining hope is in a rupture between the
cruris of Poonah and Hydrabad ; and fliould their
di.Tetences, contrary to probability, net teiminate
pacifically, he is piep iring to avail himfcif of any
favorable moment far adh'on that might occur in
the event of wai between these pewe s. We have
some account of his recent motions in a let'erfrom
the Mysore frontier, of which the following is rm
extvaft : -
" Tippoo Is aflively engaged !u augilicnt.i'ng an<l
afTembling Ins troops. He is also filling his uu,ra
zines. He has has lately expended iriifrienfe turps
on ant! on the Severn, Chittlc, and
Nundy Droops ; a'l of which he is making" as Itrvng
as possible. Ba.igalorc, an:! ail the m.Uei forts, lie
has delroyed. This narrow fvllrtn of policy is
easily developed. Hill fotts are only iifdfoj as in
ftrutneirtsin the ha ds of tyranny, to awe the peo
ple, For the purpufes of ivar one ground fort is
worth a doz-n of these foriiiied rocks,> Qn account
of the difficulty of placing grain and ilores in the
latter, and removing them from thence as octaOon
may require. So that the fame infatuation that
marked the conduct of Tippoo thro'out the whole
of kit war, Hill continues' to artend.him."

from the Mauritius. From this velTel carrying'a

to navigate her, and from fume information, obtain

being intended forfome other piirpofc thftn that ot

The Chip Hercules from Madras arrived at Bata

We understand that many of the Bengal planta

A Map of the poll Roads of Bengal, Bahar,

cutta. Ihe Plate, in point of neatness ot engrav

better recommendation.
We apprehend the report of the Niiam having
refufed to nd(urre to the conditions of the treaty of
peace, lately aajnfted between his Highness »nd the
Mahrattas, and that the war between these powers
had heeti renewed, is entirely without foundation.
It appears by advices of the 6th current, from Ma
dras, that the detachment of the Carnatic army,
fervlnjr with the Nizam had been withdrawn, and
din/ftcd to match into the Cirears, a measure we
conclude, thnt would not have taken place, had
there been any probability, of the renewal of hotti-
Jtties.
