From the assemblement of an army at ElichparO. , end of the,British contingents at *e Courts of Puttush and Hydrahad at Jaulna, serious hostilities would seem to be expected from some part of the Mahratta States, (or thesesareitaments' could hailse intended to cooperate with that under Sir D.

Sion of the Colony on the part of the Dutch were ex petted in the course of the following month. A dis position on the part of the Native Authorities hostile to the roestablisinnent of the Dutch influence had been evinced, but the-island was perfectly tranquil, and it was hoped that the transfer would be effected without radar'gering the peace of the country. The Gang's, acecimpanted br ;he Auspicious, touched on the I Ith May, at S. Helena, where Mr. RAFFLES had a long interview with the Ex-Esnarson.

Bullocks, goats, pigs, fowls, Sm. are procurable its great abundance here, as well as at Batan, Saptan, iajos, and Diiiquai, which are all adjacent isles, and on their western quarter afford very good anchorage 'ground. Refreshments are to be bad with much facility, and the Revotarrtosetas touched twice at &tan, where she found safe anchorage, and all sorts of provisions exceedingly cheap, a bullock befog ge nerally procurable at from one to four dollars. " The French brig l'Amite, which BONAPARTE sent out to the Isle of France, has bees takes. She is hourly expected here from Trincomalee, witb Com missioner. Puoxr.

On the Bth ult. the new Governor of Massada. setts delivered a speech to the Legislature of that State, which consisted chiefly of a laboured panegyric of the Constitutions of the American Republics, con trasted with the European Governments. The 214s sachusetts Legislature has passed an Act for separa ting.the District of Maine from that State, and erect ing tt into an independant State, to be received into the• Union under the approbation of Congress. BTi'accounts from New Orleans, of the 18th of May, it appears, that all attemps to stop up the cseeasse which occasioned the late extensive inunda tion had failed, and the water, with which part of .the City is filled, had begun to throw out so horrid a stench, that numbers of. the inhahitants, appre hensive of a pestilential disorder, were preparing to leave the place.

On the 7th his Royal Highness received the A utho and afterwards reviewed the National Guard and the garrison. The tag has authorised the town of Pont•sur. Seine to take the side of Pontle•Roi, in consideration of the loyalty of she inhabitants, and of the proofs they gave of it in the month of February, 1814.

The sentence of de.ith passed on General Grupo,' has been commuted into that of imprisonment for twenty years. It is thought he will be shut up in Besinc n. GENOA, JUNE SO. Several vessels have again been met with at sea with no person on board. Two were recognized to be Spanish built; and the English instruments found on board another, induce the opinion that she belongs to that country. A French tartane has also been found in this state. The crew of the brig that brought this intaigence assert, that these ves;l:is have been boarded by Barbary corsairs. It is believed that the vessels were abandoned after their crews had been either taken or drowned. When will the time come for delivering our seas from banditti, who spread every where death and terror ? These vessels have been conducted to the lonian Isles by an English ship belonging to that station. • A Mail from Flanders arrived may. The CROWN Putsce of SWEDEN seems to sit extremely uneasy on his seat. The foreign Journals state that the entrance t , f Frenchmen into Sweden is regarded with a most jealous eye. BERNADoTTE knows the mischievous in. triguing spirit of his countrymen, and is therefore very properly on his guard. The late rains have been as prevalent in the Ne- therlands as in this Country. The damage done on the Continent has been greater, however, on account of the overflowing of the Canals. FRANKFORT, JULY 4. The letters from Alsace announce that the num ber of the French troops in the fortresses of that pro.' vince is going to be increased. Each legion of in fantry will be augmented from one battalion to two, and each regiment of cavalry by one or two squatl drone. The organization'of these new corps is now going on,• and cannot meet with any obstacle, the garrisons of these places being by no means as nume rous as the French Government has, by the. Treaty of ihe 20th November, a right to maintain in them. BRUSSELS, JULY ii. It is remembered that the domain of 'Ferveuren has been given to the Prince of Orange as a testimony of the national gratitude. The gardens of this charming place %ill be planted in the autuatn, and the hunting•seat built next year. The citizens of Brussels have not forgotten that Prince Chalks tif Lorraine, who so long made them happy, was pat. ticularly fund of Terveuren, where he had formed many useful establishments that disappeared at the death of that good Prince. STRASBURG, JULY 4. Field Marshal Baron Fremont began, on the Ist of this month, in the Department of the Lo . wer Rhine, the tour which he has so long contemplated. He reviewed on that day the cavalry cannoned in the en virons of Benfeld ; after which he proceeded to Mol sheim, Haguenau. etc.- It it thought he will return by way of Strasburg. - The Duchess of Ragusa and Madame Denudorff have arrived here; these Ladies came from Paris, and are going to the waters. at Baden. His Majesty the King of Bavaria, during his visit to the part of his new dominions on the frontiers of France, has given fresh proofs of his esteem for his Most Christian Majesty. He has refused, it is said, to employ a French subject residing in his frontier whose principles are known to be in opposition to the CAW of the legitimate Sovereign ; and he has or dered to be conveyed to a prison in the interior of his kingdom, the officer of his armies who, a short time since allowed himself,. in a state of intoxication, to utter at Wessemburg a cry odious to every good Frenchman. The Noce of }fohenloe Barlenstein, General in .the service of Austria, has just pesstd through Stras burgh, on his way to Vienna, in order to finish the arrangements which will permit him to go into the service of traii*i hi Basing been . named Unten aqt . General of do French Armies. The continual rains destroy the farme rs o f Algol But the damage done is not yet considerable. Th e Born and the , vines have suffered but little hitherto; sad if the sun would soon appear again, we sh ou l d End that the inciement season bad little affected th e harvest. The rivers, however, have °e n g in:et! in some places ; the Rhine is extremely high, and th e meadows and several Communes have suffered a good deal. FRANKFORT, ITYI.Y 6. His Serene Highness the Duke of Nassau m i d through here yesterday, going to Vienna. The accounts from Vienna, of the Ist of lily, which we have received by express. announce that the opening of the Bank took place that day, an d that the exchanges were made at the open Bureau : this operation caused the course of Exchange to risc £4O. HAMBURGH, JULY 2. A very strict system of Surveillanie is not ab• served in Sweden. No foreign artist (artiste h ere doebtless meaning comedian) who travels is pen n i t . led tc, enter it the espionage of certain agents tieing feared in Sweden. No foreigner is allowed to enter the kingdom without a passport from the Mini ster of the Interior at Stockholm. ANTWERP, JULY 6. A chymist in this city has discovered a means to remove from the pictures restored by France the mo. dern varnish. and leave the ancient varnish under which the painting has resumed all its pristine splen. dour. It is to be hoped that Mr. Yuba; the in. ,ventor of this art, will make it public. It is deplorable to see how much our master-pieces have suffered on the read, as well from the rain, which has penetrated the case!, as from the packing and by the delay in unpacking them. Te coakplei e the misfortune, malice had been busy befere they itft Park. Measures are employing to efface as liras possible the traces i:t those injuries. Mr. David, the French Painter, is now at Ghat. Several Jotirnals have said, that the.Ex-Directle. auras was at Louvain :—we can assert, that he has nut been seen there. ERUSSELS, JULY 12. A lever to the Ediior of the Asti-nal de la lidgipt contradicts the assertion of the pictures having been injured before they kit Paris, they,having been deli. vered to the Commissione:s just as they were in the Museum—that is, in very pod condition. The var nish may have been injured on the way by the damp, but now that they are cleared, and his Majesty has expressed his satisfaction at tilde good condition, and most of them are replaced in the churches, whin the amateurs daily admire them, it is really maim. lent to say they have arrived in a deplorablegonditiost HAGUE, JULY Jo. Some of the persons whom the Xing had admind into the Equestrian Body in several provinces, bass declined accepting this distinction. In consequence, the superior Council of Nobility has been ordered to erase their names from its lists, and his !Majesty has further declared 'cur Gentlemen who are among those that have refused, deprived of their offices cf Chamberlains.. One of the main points connected with the Duke of WELLINGTON'S visit - , is supposed to be the.tlidkulties experienced by the .French Govern:tient to meet nil contingencies due to the allies, owing to the impossi. bility of realizing the contributions levied. i Spanish Gentleman who left Trinidad on the 23,1 of M ay, confirms the accounts respectin g Geo. liouvares capture of the Island of Ivlargrita, but adds that the SUO Spaniards who had retteated tr Pampitar, had effected their escape to Cumana.:— Admiral BIiION lost a leg in the action with the Spa. nish brig and schooner. BOLIPAIt was expected to land immediately on the contigtv.us main, and it was thought the Spanish shipping at La Guira and Puerto Cavell° would tall into his hands, owing to his naval superiority, as well as Caraccas and the entire Fro vince of Venezuela. The world is eminently indebted' to the Emperor of RusstA for the stir that he has made respec ting the crusade against the Batbary Pirate/. Imperial Majesty has made it a leading object of the negec►atiuns that hare been lately' cat ried on, and consents that ail tbe natisint shall contribute to the expense Of the expedition which is now fitting out. — His remonstrAnces on the subjt ct have been most WArin energetic, and we ri.joice to bay, successful .
