I will endeavour to give you a detailed account of a glorious battle fought yefterday. That you may Judge of the propriety of the action, I mull re late to you the eircamftances which preceded it: It appears, that en the sad infant, General Wit saner entered into an agreement with SCINDIA's Wheels, that there flsould be a Cellatinn of arms be. tweet; es and him; that is to fay; after the fpace of ten days, which were allowed for SCIIIDIL to fign the man, and perform the articles of it; one of which was. drat he should retire with his army so cores aft of Ellearpoor, and maintain that dii lance at all times between his and our armies here, and in Guserat, ace. to prevent the polfibility of our troops moonily committing bollilities on one ano ther. 6ix days only, after the period prefcribed, were elapfed, but he had not in the kart endeavoured to perform that molt eiential part of his agreement, ! acv was it &dually ratified ; and he cannot have toy cies& f or raying he did not know of our advances, for he was very often written to, and told to move . away ' s., we were going againft the Baosraes troops, with whom he was then encamped. On the sSth a Vakeel came from the Boost-it's brother, but as he brought no credentials or powers, Esc. no attention was paid to his advances. On the 29th, while we were marching, and about three miles after he bad left our ground, a body of horfe appeared, and with them another Vakeel from Buss via BAUPOO, the Briost.a's brother. The General met him very cordially, and hawed to his propofala, Which were as follows— . " That he wilted to treat with the Ceneral, and that as his and Setnota's armies were now near, he requefted the General would return to the ground he had left on the Poonah river, and, in that cafe, tfc armies of SCINDIA and the Rafe would retire five cotres to the N. Sd. to prevent hoftilities." To this the General replied, " that they knew of his advances, and he would not (with an enemy's army in frost) move back an inch." The Vakeel then propofed, that be Mould halt at the next water, about three miles forward : to which alto he Paid, •' he ihould move forward to the ground he had firft in tended, and that the Sousse (being bis own mar ter) would remove or not, as be thought proper ; but that if he was near him, he would attack him :" he then told the Vakeel, " he () m old be furry that the molt trifling accident Iboeld happen to him ; to pre• vent which, he begged he would go to the rear. and remain with two people of ours, to prate& him until we had taken op our ground, when he fhould admit bin; again." With thefe propofals a letter came from Sanwa, and the fame forms were gone through with Colonel Scapa swam, who replied, " that he lhould march on,and if they were near him,he would attack them:" he advifed them, however, to retire. At half pall eleven we arrived at Pantrebe, the place where it was firil intended we Ihould halt, when we found the BlioLsA% advance, and left it early that morning, and joined his army, then lying five miles off, on a very exceptive plain. From the tower of the village, their whole line was obferved, but not moving off, except their baggage. At this time we were joined by Colonel Sr ar tm , oN's army, and were then taking ground for our encampment., when feveral parties of the enemy's hulk drove in our (mall detached parties of allies, and even advanced on the very ground we were lining out firitrUclosubi.6 party pitched their camp. as they had their baggage with them, but only four flags were pitched, as our tents, he. were left in the rear, to enable us the better to engage, and to render them leis liable to be attacked : General LLLLL tF r alfo moved on bis cavalry and infantry fo as to take up their ground, and, in cafe of neceffity, to fi: t lit. He alfo advanced the picquets nn the road, with their guns, and ordered them to fire on any body of Loge that fhoold come within their reach. The ene my's boric ftill parading near us, were fired on by both picqucts and cavalry ;:allopers, and they re• tired greater ala4nc , ,, but null prevented our followers Flom foragin, &c. At about two o'clock the enemy's army remained in line and entire, and were then within about three miles of the right of our line, which determined the General to move on aids them, fill hoping they would move off. H-, however, ordered Col. Sr LLLLL %/OOPS to join hm, and proceeded towards the enemy. At about . pail •-•• svalry and advsnred guard dust army were at the vaage of Serf*la, -sae mile and a quarter from the enemy's line, which at that diltance had a moll formidable appearance. It was on a plain, upwards of three miles in length, and of great depth, having guns at iarervals. At four o'clock, while all our troops were in co lumn, and before they had advanced beyond the vil. lage, the enemy's guns opened upon us with a quick well direaed fire, which occalioned (very fbortly) alma all our loft, by their guns being laid for the road near Surfola. The troops were loon moved round under cover of the village. and as our line de ployed, their cannonade became left defiruftive ; and the moment the whole line was formed, the orders for advancing were given, and the whole of our troops advanced with great regularity, with guns, &c. and very &only the enemy gave way in all direllions. At this time the Britilh cavalry ad vanced, charged the large body of the 13110SLA% and difperfed them. A great (laughter enfued. Our cavalry purfued the fugitives until night made it ne ceffary to call them back ; they , however, poiliffed themfelves of many elephants, camels, horfes, arms, and baggage; and at abort to o'clock by moonlight, the troops marched to their line at Pautrely, having marched :5 miles in that day. A body of about moo Muffulmen under command of a Per fi an, at tached to the linost.a's guns, under BUNT Suto, flood moll nobly, and even advanced on our line, which. luckily, oppofite to them, was formed of the remains of the 74th regiment ; and the left of the 78th regiment. who had their revenge for Aifye, by doling with them, and putting them all to the bayo net. In one fpot, about zoo yards fquare, I law upwards of Soo dead bodies. The enemy left about tOOO dead on the field; and I have not the leaft doubt their loft mutt have bean upwards of 3000 killed and wounded. Of theft, I believe, SCINDSa did not lofe a man, nor is it well afcertained that he engaged. Our ds is very inconfiderable, not above so killed and soo wounded, many of them . . very a ightly. The Vakeel of the Bitosia's, fira mentioned as not being received, arrived and had an interview with the General la 4 night, as he had brought his credentials, &c. &c. in form from Rancojaa-"Bnos himfelf. He is not a Vakeel fent after the ac tion, as I at firfi fappored. The man who met us on the road has not yet vifited the General. An elephant driver, who had his arm broke, and was taken with a howdered elephant, declares that elephant, during the battle, carried the fon of Raw noise BHosLa, who wa, feverely wounded in the atlion, and was taken one of the howder and mount ed on a horfe ; and that he believes he was among' the numbers afterwards Cain by our cavalry. The howder appean evidently to have been broken by a cannon fhot.--Many other great Berar men have certainly fallen on the asith. We (ball move on to Goaol Shur foou ; and it is confidently aliened, that the Rajam is in very . great alarm for the fafety of that place, and anxious to prevent us going near it, N.B. No Officers killed, and only 4or $ wounded. but one badly. FRANCE. PARIS (c) GERMINAL), APRIL 7. The Ex-General Cleats's Pica scau has hanged himfelf in his prifon. The following are the parti culars of the luicide : Oa the repeated requefis he had made, and on giving his word of honour that he would not make any attempt on his life. Pic tisca u had obtained the difmiffal of his guards during the night. Every morning an attendant in waiting came to light his fire with a bundle of wood. PICHEaItU. on one of the preceding mornings, had laid slide a part of a faggot, by which he thought he might put an end to his exifience. In flow, on the isth (the sth init.) of this month PICULGRU, after having flipped very heartily at t t o'clock, went to bed about twelve.— The attendant in waiting having retired. PICIlltOltU drew lions under his pillow, where he had placed it, a black filk handherchicf, which he tied tight round his neck; the piece of wood, which lie had kept in referee lie then made ufe of to him in the pro 's& of fuieide ; he introduces this piece of wood into the two ends of the handkerchief where it was tied; he turns this little flick dole to the glands of the neck as often as lie thinks neeeffary to put a flop to rcfpiration. When on the point of lofing refpiration, he draws the flick behincf his ear, and throws himfelf on the fame fide of his head, in order to prevent its fhifting. Picitscau, naturally fat, full of blond, fiafreeaied by the full meal which he had juft taken, and by the great prattle which he made, expires dur ing the night. Next day, in the morning, the attendant came to kindle his fire; he looked towards Picot soau's bed; law him, as he fuppofed, in a profound fleep, and re tired to do his other work. About half pal (even the attendant ag:iin went up, again law the head of Ps• cut.eau quietly 'ening on his pillow, and again went aaay„ fill fearing to interrupt his (legs. At nine o'clock lie went up a third time, and übferved no ai teration in the pottute of the prifoner, who ufually (poke to him when he was awake. The attendant began to be furprifecl' at his fleeping fo long, went up to the bed, when he fees his face pale and Minted; he then moved the body and found it Welds, and without motion. He immediately gives information to the jailor, who west that inllaet to inform Tofu . *tor, the judge and Solicitor in this important trial. Eight phyficians and furgenns were employed to dr.iw up the prom verbal of the Rate ?n which the • body was found, and this preen tyrlia/ and the corpfe were brought before the Criminal Ttibunat on the 6th, about one o'clock in the Afternoon. • •• - The four feftions of the Tribunal immediately al fembled, appointing eight phyiiri.ins and turgeons to open in pretence of four CommilTaiy Judges, allitled by C. LASTUTLIIII. the body, and Lite the circuits 11.ances of his liatatien, and the caufe and nature of his death. In confegnence of thefe circumflances the body of CPIARLFS lei, urnsu waa placed at length no a table in the Grand Hall of the ihonal. As loon as the body was identified, the hargeons opened the head, in seirith the blood was found to be very notch gorged. After this preliminary operation, the body was open ed,„and the Rate of the interlines was etamincd. The tour rations of the Tribunal, and the Commidary of the Government with his three fubilitutes heard the report of the judicial (entente trent - mined by the Offi• f Health. Ma de(cribing the appearance of the tor*, the refult is Rated to tk that Ca/sates PICH way died by firangulation. After the report was concluded. -Citizen Cartago, Commiffary of the Government, fpoke to the follow. ing.purpofe, addreffing himfelf to the biagiftrates and the Tribunals—" The publicity which you give to every thing conneeted with the contpiracy, formed againft the life of the FIRST CONSUL, completes the arrangements which you have inflituted. There ar• rangements have been purfued with all the activity and zeal of which we are capable. No effort has been (pared to difappoint the fuccefs of a fcheme of the moll abominable nature ; though the forms of legal proe, s .ig have not been obferved, you will have m the moll conclufive evidence of the confpiracy itfelf. One of the ptincipai agents of the projected affaffina tion difpatched himfelf in a manner contrary to all human laws. The evidence of his guilt, however, mutt for ewer affix a ftigma on his memory. His co. temporaries and pollerity will fay, Pica assay few no diftin6ion betwixt his guilt and his infamy. He be came a fuicide. The 1 4 4agiftrates appointed to en quire into the evidences of his crime and to (ohmic them to the proper tribunal. base done their duty.— I require that the body of Cliaatts Prensozu be buried in the place ufually appointed for the burial of the corpfes of perfons taken from the Temple, where there hare been intlances of fuicide. His burial is to be made in pretence of a public offiettr and two ter- vents of the tribunal. I require further, that the proces verbal of the opening of the body and the burial, {hall be publiffied in every part of the Repubnit where it may be neceffary." The Tribunal, agreeably to this requifition, ap pointed the Officers Jozze and Masson to REA at the interment of the body of Pscutoau. and to draw ap the proces verbal ; and ordered betides, copies of the Paid proces verbal and. of the trial to be produced. APRIL 8.--The following is the &Mance of the juridical reports connefted with the fuicide of Ps casaau Citizens Soupe, Didier, Boutquet, Brunet, Let eires, and Fleury, furgeons appointed by the Cri minal Tribunal to infpet the body of the Ex4eneral Fremnt:, and to flare what were the caufes which gave rife to his death, unanimoufly declared— " That from the Temple they were condos:led in to the chamber where Cnazi.zs Picneoau, the Ea. General, was confined. On arriving in the chamber they found a male coipfe. After defcribing his per fon, and what appeared to them hit age, they go on to fay that he died of ftrangulation. They elate, they found a black filk handkerchief about his neck, through which was paffed a faun (tick forty-five cen timeters long. and from four to five centimeters in circumference ; which Rick, forming a tourniquet of the cravat, was flopped by the left jaw, on which be lay, with one end of the flick under. and this pro. duced a degree of ftrangulation (efficient to occalion his death. They then remarked, that the flick bad relied by one of its ends on the left cheek, and that by moving round irregularly, it had produced a tranfverfal fcratch of about fix centimeters. " The face was difcnloured, the jaw was locked, and the tongue was preffed betwixt the teeth. The ditcoloratian (e remzfee), extended over the whole body. The extremities were cold. The =Ales and fingers of the hand were firongly contralted. Their opinion, therefore. wa', from all they law in the p-..fition of the body, and the idea they had formed refpefting it. that the body was the corpfe of the Ez-General Picrisoao, and that he was guilty of fuicide. " Citizen Sirot, one of the gnu d'arntes telift, was Rationed near the chamber of General Pico sozo, in the Temple. He had beard a confiderable degree of fireggling and noife, but imagined that the pri• Toner laboured under a great degree of difficulty of breathing,. He did not, however, think that there was any thing which required his particular affiftance. " Citizen Lapointe was near the fame (pat. He awaked about four o'clock in the morning, but heard no particular noife. Citizen Fauconnier, Keeper of the Tower of the Temple, deputed, that at half pall (even in the morn ing. Citizen Popon, Prestos u s keeper, went to light his fire in the ufual manner. He was aftonifhed at not hearing him (peak or Qir. He went immedi ately to Colonel POIIIMM, the Commander of the gens d'armerie, and informed him of what had taken place. Taverns . , the Aecufer General, was inform. ed of the eircumftance. A medical perfon was in- Randy fent for, and all neceitary inftruCtioos were given at the requeft of the Accufer General. " Citizen Popon, principal "dole keeper of the Hall of Jußice in the Temple, Rated, that at half pall (even o'clock, he went into General Picriscao's chamber, for the purpofe of lighting his flue. " Not bearing him either (peaking or Rirring, and dreading that tome accident had taken place, he fent to appofe Citizen Fauconnier. He adds, that the key of PICNICKU'II chamber was taken away by him, immediately after Tupper on the preceding even ing, and that it had continued in hi. pocket till the .itne be went to light the fire in the morning." ti.

The Government of Genoa, aided by the Bifhops, has not only fucceeded in removing the murniorsoc cafioned by the recruiting of failors for France, bat bad the effe& of inducing a great number from the Gulph of Spezziaco offerthemfelves to fart on board the French fleet. On the zBth oh. two French prawns arrived in the Road of Flufhing. which were built at Antwerp, be ing the brit 'deli of war built at that port : they are s 6 feet broad, quite flat. with three keels, drawing no more than 7 feet of water, fo conftrated as to co, vex the men on board, and having . the rigging of a ' frigate: each is armed with 16 eighteen pounders.

Since the Englifh have perceived there movements, they have greatly aug mented their cruizers on cur coatis. A divifion of frigates, cutters, and brigs, is eentineally in fight of Ottend. It is generally thought that the equipment at Mend is not deftined to join that of Boulogne, but tobe employed in fending an army on fome part of the Suffer coaft. However it may be, every thing is ready for the projeft, and the expedition, which is • principally to run from the mount of the Seine to , that of the Scheid, will be fill more formidable than was expetted. A great number of Brier& pritoneri are arrived at Giver, being the crew of the 'fiiitte lately firanded, and taken on the coal', of Bretagne.
