was a distinguished officer in the imperial army of France, and is a man of high character and conciliatory manners; he adopts the Seick costume in allowing his beard to grow, and has married a native woman; this officer wishes to return to France, and has been endeavouring to induce the Maha Rajah to allow his younger brother to take charge of his command during his absence. Monsieur Ventura, general of infantry, served under Eugene Beauharnois in Napoleon's Russian campaign; he is a brave and intelligent officer, but a violent man. GENERAL ABSTRACT OF THE SEICK ARMY.-Guns in different forts, 108; ditto horse artillery, 58; ditto foot artillery, 142; total guns, 308. Mortars, 6; jamboorans on camels, 305; cavalry regular, 5200; ditto, irregular, 43,300; total cavalry, 48,500. Infantry, regular, 6000; ditto, irregular, 17,000; total infantry, 23,000. Golundaze, 1500; grand total army, 73,000. The horse artillery of Runjeet's army consist of guns of small calibre, and their field equipment resemble that of our late foot batteries, and consequently such artillery would be utterly unable to cope with our horse artillery; still, as these guns are drawn by horses, their fire would be always available, which is not the case with bullock artillery. In 1798, Tippoo Sultan's field army was estimated at 47,470 fighting men, and his revenues at one crore of rupees; Runjeet Sing's army amounts to 73,000 men, and his revenues to one crore and eighty lakhs of rupees.
