MARQUIS WELLESLEY. (No. XIII ) Inflead of the fAfhionable charge of peculation, •he prettier founding word, oflentation, is brought forward againft Marquis WELLESLEY, as better cal culated to deceive my countrymen ; and under this head Hands foremoll, the body guard of the Gover• nor General of Britifts India. At the commencement of the Sill Myfore cam paign, under the late Marquis Cornwallis, a crack regiment of native cavalry was fent from Bengal to Madras, which an Officer now in high rank in Ire land was directed to infpeet, who firblequently re ported to his Lordfhip, 4. There are men and horfes, but I'll be d—d if there is any cavalry." In neatly a timilar Bate was the body gua , l:l of the Govetnor General on the arrival of Marquis WEL LESLEY in India, or rather it might be compared to a game called the Devil among the tailors ; for if one man was difmounted, the look honk inflantly attacked the others, and thus it was uncommon fight to fee the troopers flying about in all direCtions, leaving the Governor and his Secretary to the mercy of holies, who, from being rettive, are nct fo manage able as in this country. . . After the fnccefstul termination of the Myfore war, Marquis WELLESLEY. as •Captain General, did ace' rdingly order two troops of native cavalry from Madras, to form his own body guard in Ben gal, precifely in the fame manner as his Royal High. nefs the Duke of York, if in Ireland, might with to have men from any regiment in England, for his own perfonal body guard. When the Marhattah States had compelled the Britifh Government in India to retort to arms, it ssas deemed expedient by the Governor General in Coun cil, to increafe the number of the nominal body guard, to check any fudden irruption of the enemy's horfe into the fertile province of Burdwan, which is fituated acrofs the river to Calcutta, as the countrnf . Sutrey. is to Londor. Dining every pre. ceding Mathattah war, not only the province above need was laid walle, but' many of the inhabitants now living recollelt, the deep ditch being dug round the boundaries of the town of Calcutta, to check there alert and erratic warriors, from furpri ling and plundering even the fuburbs of the city. If the Mat hattahs had entered the lower provinces of Bengal, as was generally expelled by thole unac qnainted with the admirable difpofition made by Marquis Ws er.rst.er of the military force at his difpolal, with the exception of the body guard, there was not a tingle troop of cavalry within fix hundred miles of the Prefidency, and confequeatly if the body guard had not been increafed, from the ce lerity of the Mathattah cavalry, they might with teat eafe have overrun the country, and retired with their plunder, before it was potEble for the cavalry to arrive from the upper part of Hindottan, even admitting their Cervices could have beet difpenfed with in the grand army. When by the political wifelnm of Marquis Wst.• LFSLSy,the Bengal provinces "tete fectired from any hidden attack, intlead of keeping the truly guard in Calcutta for oflentation, as is generally Cuppored, two troops, confifling of 84 men and hones, were fist from the Prefidency to Cuttack, to alit in wreßing from the enemy that valuable province, where they proved of the moil effential fervice, and fubfequently the greater part were on duty in Bun dlecund, where their merit was duly appreciated by Lord Lake. _ _ The very improved Rate of the native cavalry on the Bengal Eitablithment, and within the laft ten years, is genially admitted. A more dathing, gal. lant, and attentive fee of Officers to"their duty, joined to a proper pride of teeing the troops under their command in high order, is not to be found in any part of thr world, as a reference to the orders of General Lord Lake clearly thew, from whom the Officers coped a recommendation to the Court of Dire/tors, to increafe the pay r f the native t r oopers in the fame ratio as the cavalry and infantry oft the Madras Ellablithment, which will naturally induce t h e t atives of a better fort to enter fr.r the cavalry, inttead of their preferring the infantry, as at prefent. ?LAIN FACTS. MIST INDIES. KINGSTON, (JAMAICA) SEPTEMBER s. On Tuefday afternoon a heavy fall of rain came on in this city and neighbourhood, which continued with Tome intermiGion until Thnrfday night, when it became more violent and ineeffant. Very early yet terdsy morning, it was accompanied f fame time with the moil awful and tremendous peals of thun der and vivid flaffies of lightning, by which we fear much mifehief may have been done befides what has already come to our knowledge. At a quarter before four o'clock, the fonth•eaft corner of the can wing of the foldiers' barracks, in this city, was Ilruck by the lightning,' which Ihattered the roof, rent the walls, and fh.sok the whole building with fuch vio lenee that the foldiers on duty were thrown off the guard bed ; a tankard of block tin wa• alto perfo rated in a number of places, as if it had been fhot through with ball ; providentially no lives were 1011. About the fame time, the drogging Hoop Adive, James BUSHMAN mailer, ITing in this harbour, was alto (truck by the lightning, which Ihivered her top mail to atoms, and fplit the main mall to within four or five feet of the deck. The (hock was fit revere as to alarm the people on board very confiderably, who, fearing that it had penetrated through her bot tom, inflantly rigged the pumps, but fortunately found the hull and cargo fate. One of the people was infenfible fir fome time after he was (truck, but has fence recovered. Captain BUSHMAN will be ob liged to re laud part of his cargo, to replace his mail. A &hoover lying near the Aelive, was alto (truck with the lightning, but we have not learned whether (he funained any injury. A negro boy, who had been (truck with the lightning, was found dead yeflerday morning, on board a velfel alongfide the hulks at the call end. The rain abated in Come degree about fix o'clock yefierday morning, but commenced again, accompanied for Come time with thunder and light ning, between eight and nine o'clock, and continued until four in the afternoon, when it ceafed. The Veteran, of 64. guns, Capt. EVANS, arrived on Ttiefday from a cruize, fall from New Providence, with the following prizes, captured by her boats in the Gulph of Florida, viz. The Spaniffi (hip la Flecha, of 8 guns, from the Havannah, bound to Caraccas, laden with tobacco, brandy, gin, dry goods, and other articles, taken on the 24th of July, after (he had thrown her guns overboard; and the Spani(h brigs El Carmen, of two 18 and two I z•pounders, and so men ; and Int• bella, of one t 2 and two 6-pounders, and 21 men, both with cargoes of dry goods, brandy, wine, fugar, &c. from the Havannah, bound to Campechy, taken on the srh Atigufl. The Veteran alfo captured, on the 31f1 of _P K , the Spanifh felucca Atraveido, (1 two guns and 13 men, which the dellroyed after taking nut her cargo, confißing of cochineal, indigo, fugar, cocoa, jalap, vanilla, and arnatto. Two men were wounded in the Veteran's boat, one of them dangernufly. The Ferret brig, of IS guns, Capt. Liorsoc K, failed on Sunday on a cruizr. SEPT. t2.—On Thurfday afternoon lan week, about two o'clock, the barracks and buildings at Fort Anvils', received confiderable injury by a whirl. wind, which, before it approached to the fort, was nbferved to carry with it or delirny every thing that came wi t hi n ita rca;:h. The whole of the officers' old barrack was unroofed ; the back, or fouth well part completely demoliffied, and the other walls rent in feveral places ; the guardhoufe chattered and re moved from its lituation ; feveral of the out offices deflrnyed, and the privy on. the lea (hare, with other finall buildings, entirely carried away. Nothing of the booth welt part of the barrack is left but the floor. Happily no lives were 1011. The heavy and inceirrnt rain the fame. night nearly Pverfl , wed the apart• ments of the officers, which have been by this viiita film of PROVIDENCE espofed to the inclemency of the weather. In addition to the damage mentioned in our tall to have been futlained by the lightning on Friday morning, we have to mention, that the lodg ing Ironic of Mifs Graham, in Upper Pr inces-fireet, received eonfiderahle damage, and that four large mirrors, feveral (bade', and all the glafs ware in the houfe, were demoliihed. The Roe Guinearnan, ly. ing in the liar, brinr, was alf • (frock with it, her deck very much injured, and her fails reduced to fhreds, &c. and the (now Yni k had her main mall fplit. The mall of a Spaniflk fchnoner was likewife Bruck, and the iron hoops by which it was hound forced off; and a (bong iron bolt broken. It alio burl the pump of the fame veal below the deck, the part above remaining unhurt. The ,St. gage de Ia Vega Gazette, of the sill inflant, Rates, that the rains bave been equally as heavy and inceffint in the neighbouihond of Spanifh Town as they were in this city, but that or) other damage, as is known, has as yet been, futlainid than the roads, patipicularly in the mountains, being feverely cut up and injured.' and_ feveral pens at Saltironds having had many (keep walked Otay and drowned.

She proved to be an enemy, as fbe neared us : both veffels hove to ; we made all clear for action, and gave her a broadlide, then wore thip, and gave her another on the larboard, which carried away the enemy's bowfprit and foreman, but night coming on prevented us from dettroying her. Nest day, at meridian, (poke the Diana, and was informed that Captain Lewis and fix of his people were fe• verely wounded, and that they had on board four men belonging to the privateer, who ftated that a great number of her crew were wounded, and that the was called la Vengeance, mounting twelve t - pound carronades, with erne hundred men, 2nd com manded by a perfon of the name of Bligh : fhe be longed to Guadeloupe, out two months,and had not taken any thing."

Some finettlar rumours were circulated yefierday afternoon, on the authori.y of letters received by the Li(bnn Mail. One of thefe fired that a rumour prevailed at L;flyrn, that the KING of SPAIN was dead, fuppnfed to have been Vied by poifon—that the Prince of Arruatas was imprifJned—and that a provifional Government was formed, at the head of which the QysiN was nominally placed, but that the, PRINCE OF THE Peace was the efficient direftor.— We cannot afcertain the truth of this Itatement. It was confidered as receiving tome fanCtion from the circumliance of a Courier having arrived at Lifbon on the isrh, wh. fe difpatches were under flood to be , of a very dif:nal nature. Letters from Madrid of tke Sth ult. Rate, that a Marifeflo or Proclamation had been iffuecl, by the Spanifh Gvve-nment, commanding the people of Spain to receive the troops of France into the Spa nifh dominions, as brothers and friends, and to af ford them all neceffary affiftance and proteftion.— It is alfo Rated, that an infurrellion had broken out at Madrid in the beginning of October, in confequence of the unpopulat y of ,the proceedings againfi For. tugal, and that it had proceeded to great lengths.— We cannot vouch the truth of this report, but it is certain that it bad reached Oporto on the t 3th of OCtober. The popular feeling throughout Spain appears to hive been highly gratified by the recapture of Buenos Ayre.; which the moR 'dialing among the Spanifh politicians fcemcd to think loft to their country for ever. Though the Gatfcnmbe, which brought the Lifbnn Mail, failed on the isth, meant had been found to convey on board of her different letters of the r 6th. The f Bowing is the fubtlance of one of them : " Sit ce the departure of the Spanifh and French Ambaffadors from the Court of Portugal, no flep has been publicly taken to forward the defigns of the Court, except in the manning and equipment of the fleet in the Tagus, which fence the arrival of QUINTELLA'S fquadron from the Mediterranean, amounted to nine fail of the line, betides ft ;gates No anfwer had been received from France to the communication made by the French Charge des Af faires, after he had obtained his pall - port ; this was expelled to arrive in the end of Odlober, until then the determinati tn of tl.e Prince Regent was to be fulpetided ; but in the event of French troops ap proaching the Portuguefe frontiers, it had been finally deter mined, that inch fhould be the fignal for the cm barkation of the Prince and his Court. At all events, the young Prince Ds Balsa is to proceed to the Brazils, whofe fuite has been appointed, and their various Rations announced. He is to fail in the Portuguefe fhip Medufa, of 74 guns ; and his failing was only delayed to afford his Royal Father an op portunity to decide 00 the neeeffity of his accompa 'tying him. It faid that the Plinceti had refuted to go to - the Brazils, and had preferred the option of retiring into Spain. 44 The Britith Fadory had been formally di(folved, and liberal prefcnts had been made to their Chaplain, and all old and faithful fervants. They, as well 3 1 all other Nita refidents, were making every prepa ration f)r a voyage to England ; and, althougb it appears that the homeward bound fleet confab of 50 fail of veflels, including the Swedes and Americans which have been c4arte• cd by the Factory, flill there is a great want of (hipping, and the arrival of sad!' from England is anaioufly looked for and wetted."
