From Broughton's letters written in Nah
rata camp, we extract the following as
noble exception amid the visianes OF a
treacherous and distin. u ahetl people.


at was in one of these battallons that an
interesting young girl was discovered, about
a twelvemonth ago, who had served IN 1t Tor
two or three years as a Sipahec; in which
capacity she had acquired the favor OF her
supr riors, and the regard OF her comr Ides,
by her quiet and inofensve behaviour and
regular attention to the duties OF her sta
ton. 1t was obs, rived that she AWAY $
dressed her own dinner, and ate 1t. ana per
formed her ablutiuns, BY herself; but not
the slightest suspicion of her sex was IN
tertained, till about the time ! menrone1, /,
when it vas discovered by the curiosity OF d
young Sipahee, who followed her when She
went to bathe After this She continued to
serve for some months, reso' 'utcly declining
the patronage of the Baee. who proposed 70
receive her into his own family, as well As
the offers of Muha Raj to promote her i'll
the corps she belonged to. The affair soon
became the subject of general conversation
in the camp; and having expressed a
strong wish to see Jerusalem or Singh, the
name by which the Indian ID Eon went, one
of our Sipahccs, who was acquainted with
her, brought her to my tent. She appeared
to be about twenty two years ofage, was We
ry fair, and. though not handsome, possess
ed most interesting countenance. she
spoke freely of her profession and her i'm
mediate situation; but betrayed neither the
affected bashfuluess nor forward boldnes'
which such situation was likely to have
produced. And let it be recorded to the
honor of every party concerned, that iron
the moment when her sex was discovered
she met only with increased respect and at
tention from her comrades; not an ndividu
al presumed to utter word that might in
suit her, or breathing doubt that could at
feet her reputation. AT length her motiv
for enlsting and remaining in the seryic
was discovered.


An only brother was confined for debt d
Bopal, and this interesting young crcatur
had the courage to enroll herself as com
mon soldier, aud afterwards persisted in ex
posing her person to the dangers and dltt1
cuties of military life, with the generou
idea of raising money sufficient to lberat
this loved relation from confinement"
