There has been a rumour this week of an insurrection

at Bom- bay : our information regarding it is limited to the following paragraph in the Globe- " The Linnet, homeward-bound Brazilian packet, spoke the Caledonia, of Liverpool, from Bombay, out 85 days, in latitude 45 deg. 20 min. W. long. 30 deg. 10 min. ; which ship communicated the intelligence of the town of Surat having been burned, and 25,000 houses destroyed, by insurgents, on April 25th , and that the city of Bombay, as well as the provinces, were in a most disturbed state. Particulars could not be afforded by the packet. The flag-ship Win• cheater had quitted Bombay for the coast, with troops ; the insurgents having cut off entirely one regiment."
