Cjtiei; that I marched at seven o'clock yesterday morning from Etowndah, after placing the defences l :-nf the fortified depot there in a forward state of pre paration, and leaving for its defence-four 6-pounders, and seven companies of the 21 battalion of the 4th Native Infantry, under Major Campbell,. the rennin* iag , three companies of that corps being posted at . the crest of the dhereeah-Ghates pass. et At three in the afternoon, the advance brigade, with the light train, arrived at our present ground in the Chowghera Mondee, which' is an open level ground immediately to the Southward- of• the bills which cover the fortified heights and detached de: fences of Muckwampore, and somewhat abOve two miles from those forts. • ee The train and 4th brigade arrived this morning at nine o'clock, various obstacles and difficulties hay. lag retarded their progress yesterday; though the distance from Etowndah is only six miles. " On our arrival, the 'enemy had a Strong party posted on a steep hill, opposite bur left (lank, al • one considerably to the right . on 'the "same ridge ; the :former of dine positions they evacuated early this -morning, and a party of three companies, .with a wattall dietachment of his Majesty's 87th Foot, am now posted-there; and I am in hopes of turning it ,to good account in my further Operations, or at any' ,rate it will open our view of -their positions.

TO MAASS PIcOL, acTIVO ADJUTANT-01111112AL 0/ nig RIAD QUART:fa& Sin—When I bad the honour of addressing you' yesterday, I could hardly suppose that -a post so re cently and voluntarily abandoned would have been a subject of contest; but I had hardly closed the letter, andofter ascending a short way up the hill on the left to reconnoitre the enemy's position, had pro. cdeded.to'vrards the front of the right td examine *- stockade, supposed to be situated at the eastern ex tremity of the same ridge, *on a smart firing ad vancing on our poets from the eastward at halt-past twelve, announced an attack in great force. " On my return to the front of the line I had a very distinct view of the enemy's approach in large bodies ; and successively detached to the aid o f the •party on the hill, the light company of his Majesty's .87th, and 2d battalion 25th Native' Infantry ; two more companies of the 87th, with the 2d battalion 12th Native Infantry, and two &pounders .on ele .pbants. accompanied by Colonel Miller; and lastly, the 24 battalion Bth Native Infantry. The number of the enemy coold-not be lesi than two thousand men, with several guns, and repeated geinforcemenls; and during a momentary superiority in numbers he approached close to the village, which was obstinately and gallantly disputed . by out small parry, ontil the arrival of more troops changed the fortune of the day ; and from this time, until half .pa st five, their repeated assaults on our "positioni . "'ere invariably repulsed, and he was at length driven if in confusion, chi* by ; charge of the 2d batta lion of the Bth Nativelnfantry, Ii the direction of . the enemy,'" *ens, one -of which, a 4-pounder on a carriage similar to our mountain train,- was aban doned, and brought in this morning; also aco nsider ablequantity of gun and musketry ammunition, which . was lona strewed about in the utmost confusion. _ •The lou.sustained by the enemy has been very considerable, and is suppose.' by many to be not /ass. then 600 men, including several of their officers, as appears by their dresses.

They contain but little intelligence of interest s it will be seas from the article from Stockholm that the ;Algerian are striving to make friends of the Svedes in their approaching contest. They probably think they 'have *already *received the*mroperation of the APrersch. In the mean time the Darr is fortifying his Air with great activity. The slaves are set to work es the fortifications,.and the Dir superintends the 'work in person. He'is supported by his bloaooco M* ruin, anchby all the other Barbary Powers along that extensive line of coast. The Madrid Game* announces the arrival of offi. teal dispatches frote.General •bloatu.o. commanding in South America, down to the:tlith April, at wasich date, the bead-quarters of the King's army 40at' Ocana. They state, .that the insurgents were com pletely defeated on the 25th of February, oe the' ' heights of Cacbiri, and pursued as far as the cEf of Matonzas. A body of 5000 men was completely destroyed, not more than thirty soldiers having saved themselves. Colonel WARLITTA had penetrated to Cancan, in the province.of Antioch% after cutting to pieces several detachments. It is admitted, how ever, that the insurgents fight furiously, with perfect contempt of death. Their 'priests march withthesa, and incite theses to battle, and in the excesses of their military ardour, they burn the towns whisk they are unable to defend. Such is the official 10001101 of the obstinate valour of the insurgents—a valour net very encouraging to those who linticipate the success of the Royal Cause.

STOCKHOLM, JULY it. M. Norderling, our ConsuLGeneral at Algiers, set of fiat that place 'on the 18th of April, after (having presented his successor, M. Akerloo. The night before he received from the Dey a receipt rof the subsidy which Swedeti owed to the Regency. The amount was 16,000 piastres. The Dey, on his part, granted an indemnification for the Swedish ~,hips taken or pillaged in 1814. Although thie in demnification is far from compensating the value of the prizes taken by the Algerines, ifis a most extra oidinevy circumstance, and what hitherto no nation has obtained. •••••ii• We canoe take leave of the' French Papers with out once more recurring to the painful subject of the recent criminal executions in France. To make the punishment of the crime of treason or rebellion coin cide with the feelings of justice and humanity, there ought to be a something like a recent commission of the °fence with which the criminal is charged. In the case of Gen. Marron Dtrrasuurr for instance, he threw himself completely upon the King's clemency, foe he came from a far country to deliver himself up: Now we apprehend that sound policy and a just sense'of dignity ought to have dictated the extension of mercy to this man, for the Government was surely not so weak as to require the example of his death as a terror to others ; but we fear that he feH a sacrifice to those personal feelings, which ought never to be tolerated when the Royal clemency is invoked, and which illiberal feelings have been denominated Ultra Royalism.

RIOTS AT' GLASGOW. We are happy to-state th ibe accounts bronglit from Glasgow by the. Mail of this Morning add little 'or nothing to the distressing details which we yester day laid before our Readers. On Thursday last, a s we have already stated, and on Friday, according to `the accounts received this day, a considerable dispo. skim to ximing was manifested among the lower ranks, in the Calton, one of the populous suburbs of , Glasgow, but every thing was quiet and no appe ar . ante of the disturbances being likely to be renewed, at the time when the Mail left Glasgow on Saturday afternoon. During the tumult in the Calton the greatest good order prevailed in the City of Glasgow, nor was there even the shadow of any disturbance.— Two troops of the 6th Dragoon Guards arrived at that City on Friday, in aid of the very small :Bakery force before in the. place ; but, happily, there was not, when our accounts came away, the least appear ance that their services would be required. We are happy to add, that excepting one boy, none but the two instances which we mentioned yea terday met with any serious hurt. The boy alluded to was at first reported to have been hurt in the head by a chisel, and in consequence carried to.the many on Thursday night. We considered this as a casualty no way connected with the riots, and there fore took no aotice of it yesterday; but .we find the occurrence mentioned in the Gler s o va C our i er o f S e . turilay, without any notice of the chisel, staiirg merely that 'the hat_ wit severely the • to....nowartro.at the operatlfm of trepan - had been p.. 1 formed on hint. Too much' praise cannot be bestowed or the promptitude with which the Civil Authorities, 5i6.11 by the military, exerted themselves to restore and maintain the public peace ; and the perfect order mid quiet maintained in Glasgow itself, and its other-po pulous suburbs, during the riots in the Calton, folly justifies all that we stated yeiterdaliespecting the general sobriety, temperance, intelligence, and meri torious conduct of the great majoiity of the artizans in that populous neighbourhood, notwitbstauding ;he great, we may say, the unexampled distress under which they now labour, from want of employment THE FUNDS.
