From a Salen» Paper.
To the Editors.
Observing in the Boston
Centinel, of this day, a slight notice of
an important event that lately occurred
in India, I have taken the liberty of
sending you a particular account of that
unhappy transaction.
About the middle of July last, an in
surrection <»f a battalion ot native troops,
(or Sepoys) in the English service,
lock plafie in the garrison town of Vc
-1 lore. This place is situated in the
Carnatic country, about 100 miles in
land from Madras, and about 40 from
the dominions of Mysore. This place
1 was chosen by the British for the exile
of the sons and family ot the late Tip
. po Sultan, after the subjugation of his
country*
Velore is remarkable for its strength ,
both by nature and art. It has :v/o
ditches of great depth and width, which
are full of alligators, that temerity’s
self dare not pass them, except over its
bridge. It formerly had two gates,
but at the time the princes were sent
there, one gate was closed and fortified,
admitting only one passage in and out.
Here the princes were provided with a
most liberal support by the British gov
ernment ; there allowance is superior
to that received from their deceased fa
ther. They had hothing to regret, but
the want of more liberty than is the lot
ol prisoners at large in a garrison town.
One battalion of the G9th British Eu
ropean regiment, and one battalion Se
poys, composed the garrison. The
outer gate was usually guarded by a
small detachment of Europeans, and
the inner gate by a guard of Sepoys.
Thus were things situated, the middle
of July last; whop the Sepoys rose,
about 2 o’clock m .tie morning', rush«d
into the batrack yard, fired upon the
British European troops thro’ the win
dows as they laid in profound sleep ;
and then rushed in and bayoneted all
they could find. One of the soldiers
made his escape from the barrack to
the outer gate, and informed the guard
of the transaction. The guard was
joined by a brave officer (Sergeant Bra
dy) and about 30 heroes like himself,
who had fought their way to the gate.
This little band, under the orders of
their gallant sc rgealit, instead of mak
ing their escape, shut the outer gate,
and resolved to perish, or prevent the
escape of the princes and their adher
ents. This gate-way was so fortified,
that a ftvv men might maintain them
. stives a considerable time against ma
ny ; and this was the case, for the Se
poys made several desperate attempts
to dislodge the few braVe fellows who
defended it, and were defeated as of
ten with great loss. All this time the
Sepoys never thought of bringing up
a piece of artillery, which would have
opehed the gate with speed, but fell to
plundering and drinking an inebriating
liquor called bang. Every European
gentleman (with the exception of Col.
Marriott, the resideht, who had the par
ticular charge of the princes ahd fami
ly, and;tvho resided in the palace with
them) were massacred, both civil and
military.
All the officers of the garrison, and
officers in the civil service, with 199
soldiers, were massacred, besides a
number horribly wounded* The Se
poys took all the European ladies and
their children, of which there was a
number, and placed them in a house
under a guard, the chief surgeon's la
dy and two children excepted*—those
they destroyed.
Immediately 1 after Sergeant Brady
shut the gate ; he lowered a trusty sol
dier over the gate-way by a rope, and
ordered him express to the town of
Arect, about 14 miles distant, where
Col. Gellespie was in garrison with the
64th regiment of dragoons, 420 strong.
On receiving the express, Col. Gilles
pie instantly mounted, and with one
troop proceeded to Velore, ordering
the rest to follow as soon as possible,
and dispatching orders tor another reg
iment, lying at a neighboring town, to
reinforce him if necessary.
Upon Col. G’s. arrival at Velore, he
found the Sepoys had taken alarm, and
