At two o'clock, Lord FINGAL took the Chair. There were thirty-two letters read from Noblemen and Gentlemen, appointed by the, late Aggregate Meeting as Delegates to present an Address to his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT ; together with a Petition for the removal of his Grace the Duke of RICHMOND and Mr. W. W. PoLE from their official situations in Ireland. Some declined the honour on the ground of ill health and of business ; seven only declined i n consequence of disapproving o the Petition for removal, and three of.those differed with the Aggre gate Meeting; more as to the expediency and time. There were two letters from the young Lord KILLFEN, both of which were much applauded. A letter from Lord FFRENCH was also read, accompanied with re peated marks of approbation. Counsellor Hussar, in an able and eloquent speech, refuted many of the charges against the Committee, contained in the defence attempted to be made by Mr. W. W.

One hundred and eighty soldiers were left at the island, to be tried for the same offence. The following extraordinary article was published in The St. Thomas's Advertiser of the Ilth of February : " On the arrival of one of the Cork convey at Martinico, the Muter of the vessel made oath with his crew, before his Excel lency General BRODERICK, that the fleet, of which he was one, had been met with by a squadron of French ships, consisting of. eight sail of the line and eight frigates, which had captured a great part of the convoy before he made his escape. By an arrival at Grenada of one of the same fleet, a c orresponding account has b e e n received."

Ile . it does not amount to oae-fouith of what had been so sanguinely anticipated. The Sir Francis Drake, Captain. HARRIS, lately captured a Dutch corvette on the coast of Java, the' crew of which were, at their request, landed on that 1 Island. During the same cruiee, the Sir Francis Drake fell in with eight Malay prows. Capt. HARRIS' sent a boat to examine them : if they were armed, it was his orders to capture or destroy them ; if they were employed only in the peaceful pursuits of corn- 1 merce, they were not to be molested. The Malays 'made no resistance to the examination, but, on the I contrary, enticed four of the men below, whom they instantly murdered, cut them in quartets, and hung their mangled remains up in the shrouds ! Captain HARRIS, highly exasperated at this treacherous and cruel murder of four of his brave crew, stood the Sir Francis Drake closer to the shore, and fired at them, till not a vestige of them was to be seen. The who'e of the crews, consisting of not less than 400 of these barbarians, who were not killed by the shot, found a grave in the sea. The letters from India, by the Anne Botany Bay ship, possess some interest.—The plan for rescuing the native Princes from their former place of confine ment, was confided to only a few partizans, who were to have carried it into executio.' on the eve of their removal. In the event of the young Princcs' escape, their cause would have been supported by a number of Zemindars, who were making prepera. dons, to take the field on other grounds. The vigi lance of Government frustrated the plan; and the death of Angaputty Doo, the head of the confederacy, dissolved the union of the disaffected Chiefs. Scindiah, according to leiters received at Bnmbay, from Agra, has been defeated before Roopnaghon, in the Jeypore Rajah's territory, whither he had gone to enforce a ,demand of ten lacks of rupees. Betides the loss of 1000 men, all his field-pieces and camp equipage fell into the enemy's.hands. Pie his since received a formal caution not to pursue his predatory warfa -e within nine coss of the British frontier. ~ The King of Ave has applied to the Bengal Go vernment for assistance in quelling a rebellion existing in the western provinces of his dominions ; but the request was of course not complied with. Gopaul Sing, whose depredations have rendered him odious, is said to be hemmed up in the province of Bundlecund, where he has (disbanded most of his followers, and mores occasionally from one fastness to another in the hills and morasses. Since the Isle of France has fillen into our posses sion, the particulars of an attack meditated by :he late Government, upon our possessi.ms on the Cgnti nent of India, have transpired. The Dewar of Cochin, it appears, had engaged, for a stipulated sum, to fa cilitate the landing on that coast of a French force, which was to he joined by a number of disaffected na tives, commanded by Officers who had formerly served under Tippoo Sultan.
