WAR IN INDIA.
A letter from Bengal, dated October i
18.14, mentions the probability of a war
>in that country, between some of the Ma
ratta; States and the East India Compa
ny s government. The Rajah of Bh’ust-
Dhre a restless, enterprising Chieftain,
bad been detected in exciting'his neigh
borvihe PaUdarces, to acts of hostility
against the Company’s provinces, and it
had promised an active co-opera
tion with them. This same Rajah was
a fears since rendered tributary to
t it* East India Company, after a war of
uncommon length, and of most sanguin
ary complexion, lie is Seated one of
the most formidable enfemTei that the
English have had to encounter since the
days of Hyder Ally , and Tippoo Saib.-~
We can now account for thp number of
troops lately sent from England to India.

‘ A ain in *the British navy, late
commander of his Britannic majesty’s
brig Magnet, belonging to Sir James
Yeo’s squadron, on Lake Ontario, arri-
here a few days since, and reported
himself to the commandbig naval offi
cer as a deserter from his majestys
vice* Ills name is George Hawhsworth
■lrd history as follows*: he states,
that he was *nt from York to Niagara,
i with supplies for general Drummond’s
army, in August last,? but* fell ,n witti
commodore,, Chauncey , i; squ&dron and
to prevent her capture, destroyed his
vessel. On his return to Kingston, Sir
James, in the presence of a number of
army and navy officers, abused him in
the most scandalous manner, for having
destroyed nis vessel ; calling him a
scoundrel, &c. saying that he could have
saved her had he thought proper to
have done so, and threatened hid* with
punishment. But this officer determined
not to brook the insults of theloulmoufcb
ed Sir James, or remain in a service
where he could hope oftly for disgrace ;
and, in the true character and spirit at
a British naval officei*, whose magnanim
ity is so well known, immediately deser
ted 4he flag of his coumry, to render
his services to us—believing, no 4 dou,bt
tnat a nation which so well rewards the
efforts of the inexperienced officer of
her infant navy, would know how to es
timate the sterling worth of one of Bri
tain’s pvou& rulers qf the wave, and che
rish him as a treasure of inestimable
value. But alas! how disappointed are
his hopes l He has solicited employ
ment in our navy—-but in vain. Our
officers,* no doubt fearful of being out
done by the splendor of his achievements
have rejected his aid and he Is now oi)
the point of proceeding under charge
of an officer of our navy to Washington
