FRANCE. PRIVATT UTTER, PARIS, MARCH as. Yelierday the hfiniller of the Elenor of BRIM received a Courier from his Sovereign. He imme diately went to T 's Hotel, requeßed au audience. and proteßed, in the name of the Eleanr, againft the violation of his territory. He demanded that the French Government fhould difavow the condo& of General CAULIRCOURT, and fend back the prifoners whom be had made to the other fide of the Rhioe. TALLIVRAND anfwered, that by the Treaty of Luneville, the Sures of Germany are bound to give up all perfons confpiring or plotting again( France; and that by the Law of Nations, every Rate has a right to enforce fuch Ripolations, where the contracting party is not thong enough to cattle them to be obferved, or its fidelity is (u 4 peeled ; that CAULINCOURT had only obeyed the orders of the FIRST COMMIS.; that all the pi iloners were to be tried immediately, and that the principal of them was at that moment before the tribunal.— The Milliner of Baden in the evening fent back a Courier with this anfwer. The diplomatic corps, and all the people of Paris, except thofe immediately tonneßed with Government, were ignorant of the MA of the Duke d'Enoirisr, until a late hour lag might, when his fentence was polled up in the Patois Royal, and on the corners of all the greets. The patroles, which were doubled, and the numerous police (pies, prevented the furprife and indignation of the people from (hewing themfelves in any ads of violence t but the imprudent declamations of a few added new victims to thofe who already croud our prifons. The Milliner of Baden this morning went to Count CORRIITZEL, the Imperial Ambafa dor, and communicated to him the particulars of T LLLLL aamo's anfwer. The latter had not until then heard of this affair, at lean fuels was his declar ation. The Imperial Ambafador did not hefitate to *nit upon TALLIYRAIIII, and requefted that the execution of the fentence might be deferred until he bad informed his Sovereign of the affair. He re quelled this delay " more as a perfonal favour, the Emperor being related to the Duke of Enciiiran, than in the name of the Emperor, as Chief of the Empire, the neutrality of which had been violated." The example of the Imperial Ambaffador was fol lowed by the Ambaffadors of Spain, Naples, and Etruria, whore Sovereigns. all Bourbons, are more utterly related than the Emperor to the Duke of Escaisa. They all received the fame an(wer from T LLLLL ILAN% 1,;11. that hew would report their re quell to the FIRST CONSUL." In the main diner theft Amboffadors have difpatched couriers to ebehr refpedive Courts, and many perfons think. that bo ss LLLLL s's pride will be gratified, by pardoeing a bourbon, and publillaing to the world as an a& of generofity. a deed commanded by polity, jultiee, end .humanity. The Duke of Erlanger arrived here precifely at fix in the morning. At time o'clock be was carried before the Military Commiffion, and before ten o'clock, he was arraigned, tried, and con demned to death. For the three preceding nights he bad been travelling in irons, attended by two officers of the Gene d'armes in the carriage with him, and an icon of fix Gent d'armes. He was not permitted to (peak to any perfon during the whole journey.— Two Gens d'armes, with fixed bayonets, attended him in the dungeon, where he is confined in irons.— They are relieved every hour, night and day. The other perfons &netted at Ettenheim are upon their •oray, and will be tried by the fame Special Commit - - Sou that condemned the Duke." LONDON.

The Fort of Ally Ghur was taken by Norm, on the Bth September. The troops em ployed on the occafion difplayed the molt undaunted and perfevering courage; and we are lorry to fay, that the 106 in killed and wounded was very confider able. There were killed of the 76th regiment, five officers and fifteen men ; wounded, Lieutenant Co lonel Mon row and other three officers, and fifty-eight men. Total of Europeans killed and wounded eighty two. Of natives, twenty-five killed, 109 wounded. Of Artillery, two killed, eight wounded, one of the latter an Officer, total ten. The whole killed and wounded, 1:6. This was but the beginning of our aetive opera tions. On the t tth September, alter a fatiguing March of 18 miles, in which two officers and feveral men were killed by the itifloence of the fun, our forces were attack:d by the enemy in great farce, com manded by M. Lswis. After a very hard fought &Rion, the enemy were completely beaten. The whole army behaved with the utmott gallantry, and Generals Sr. Jn w and WARE, on whom a great deal of the fervice devolved, highly diflingnifbcd them (elves. Colonel Sr. LEGER. w!,t) commanded the cavalry, obtained the highert applaufe from the 'Commander in Chief. The pardculars of the loci of the army on this nc eafion is not Rated.

The decitive fueeelli obtained by General LAKE, will enable him to [fret& out a helping hand to Ge neral W of whom we do not hear that any farther intelligence is received. The particulars of thefe important fuceeks will be found amply detailed in the following columns. To the above pleating intelligence we have the happinefs to add, that advice, have alto been received of the molt brilliant fuccefs of our troops in Ceylon againik the King of Canny. Our army having re• ceived the neceffary reinforcements, a detachment, confilling chiefly of the gad regiment, was fent from Columbo againft Candy, which fucceeded in com pletely defeating the enemy, putting the king and his guards to the route, and regaining the poffelllon of his Capital. This event is of the more import ance as there can be little doubt that Admiral HAILT• MI es fquadron has for its °Nei; an attack upon Ceylon. We announced yefterday, that an expedition was fitting out at the Cape of Good Hope, to as with Admiral HAITIIIWIL. Later accounts (viz. down to the 23d of January incluGve) have fine been re ceived, by which it appears, that an embargo had been laid on all veffels at that place for fome time previous, in confequence of the projected expedition. The expedition, we are informed, failed on the 22d of January. There were fix large Batavian veffels engaged in this fervice, full of troops and ftores. The embargo was not to be taken off Tetras bound to the eaftward (the route which the expedition took), until yo hours after it had Ailed. Thofe Tetras which intended to Geer another condo, were per witted to leave the place in 24 hours. The Cape was left alraoft deftitute of foldiers. It was believed that the expedition was to aa in concert with Admiral Limos'' fqaadron, and that a place of rendezvous had been fixed. Whatever may be the definition of this expedi tion, we entertain not the leaft apprehenfion in con fequence ofit. Should Ceylon be the objea, betides that our garrifons have received confiderable reinforce ments, our troops have been every where fuccefsful ; and we underfiand that the King of Candy, enraged at his defeat, and particularly at the loft of the Royal Standard, bad punithed the Secretary of State, and another great Officer, with death. CEYLON, UPTEMBEE 7. The Gazette of this date contains orders from the Governor in Chief, dunking Captain B of the gth regiment, for the recovery of the important Province of blatant ham the Candians, and for bringing back the inhabitants to their duty ; and thanking Lieutenant Berm for his gallant defence of Hangwelle, which, we underhand, was a poR of the utmoß importance. Another moit important part of this day's Gazette is the following intelligence : Yeaerday morning at ten o'clock, the poR of Hangwelle was attacked by the grand army of the Candians, fuppofed to be commanded by the King in perQsn. " The combat lulled for about two hours, and ended in the complete repulfe of the enemy, with vary confiderable (laughter. a We have taken a royal Candian flandard, two Englifh bpounders, about too Rand of Englifh mut: kets, various boxes of ammunition, round and grape, the Creefe and fad of a Malay of high rank, and many accoutrements. " But ow moll important acquifition has been the recovery of our Bengal and Madras Lafears, taken at Candy, to the number of more than too. Many of thofe unfortunate men had been flaughtered by our artillery, at t►e beginning of the anion, having been forced to ferve the Candean guns. One man only on our fide (Frafer, of the sill) has been wounded on this oc-carton by a (pear in the thigh. " Captain W. PoLLoca, of his Majefty's sift Re giment, who commanded in this glorious affair, gives the highell commendation to the Officers and men who ferved under him. .1 As the Candeans have loft the Artillery and the Laker:, on whom they placed their chief dependance, and as a reinforcement was fent op to Hangwelle IA night, under the command of Captain FILIDIRICt Hawaii*. of his Majeity's 19th Regt. we may hope for the moll beveficial eonfequences from this event. Previous to this attack two others had been made on thc poll of Hangwelle, nn •he 3d and 4rh of this month, and repelled with great vigour by Lieut. MIRCIIIt, whi •"en commanded ; the fecund was at tended with conftderable bloodfhed on the part of the enemy. N Accounts from I\t‘tora continue (till extremely favourable. The head quarters of the Candians at Dindpittia, in that difiriet, were forced by Captain lls•ves, on the 29th ult. and nothing but the pre- cipitate retreat of the enemy on that, and feveri other otcations, prevented the greaten Laughter ol them. " Tranquillity is again returning fo fall in thai Province. that Captain Jesus Snore. of his Ma jelly's sat regiment, who was detached to pundit die rebellious inhabitants of Bellingham. found that populous village rellored to perfea quiet, and was able to mania the eaccoOoo of bis orders to the de flruelion of the boats and houfes of the moll culpable among them, who had been driven from the place, where he was received with every teflimony of fub• million and refpee. The enemy has been completely driven from the neighbourhood of Chilow, which place they bad again attacked with great force, by the exertions of Capt. Roe. BLACIIALL, and Enfign WHITE, of the ft, who commanded feparate detachments, and arrived there fuccavely on the 3oth and 3111 ult. to the relief of the brave, but (mall garrifon of Se• poys and invalid Malays, which had held out with furpriling perfeverance under the coedit& of Mr. W. E. CAMPBELL, the agent of Revenue, and Mr. J. DUNZ, the Provincial Judge." saprausga 14. The Governor returns thanks to Captain W. Pot.- Loc a, of the stft regiment, who commanded a de tachment from Colombo, and by a fuccetGon of ra pid and important victories, drove the grand army of the Candians, commanded by the Xing in perfon, out of the Britint territories, took all their artillery. and tho royal ftandard, move:* many Malays sad Lafcars made prifoners by treachery at Candy,' and finally feized the magazines and Asia of the enemy.

Nor did his cruelty bp here ; for a number of caravans which pal Ted down the river by Hang. went, and fine to the Great Pats near this place, prove that the execdtion‘of his own fubjeas has been confiderable and indifcrimiaate. The (laughter made of them by our troops was great indeed, as all the roads near Hangwelle are reprefented as being Brew ed with the fain, and our coolies were employed in burying them during the two days fubfequent to the battle. On the nth in the morning, Captain Pottoce marched forward, accompanied by Capt. Ham Kay, Lieutenants Meats& and M'Vea it, of the infantry, and Woastar, of the Royal Artillery, with a de tachment of 8o rank and file European% and 7o rank and file Sepoys, with two (mall coholfis and a party of Bengal gun Lafcars, and having driven the enemy from the fbeag Raft of Kalloepuille, where they were Rationed in confiderable force under the command of the new Deffave of the four Corks (lately of Oova), paffed the Royberg without oppofition. and halted for the night at Alecto/ambulant, about fix Engin miles from Hangwelle. On the loth, Captain Pottoca proceeded by the very ftrong poft of Pocia-jutta (which the enemy had abandoned) to Avifavella. and paifing the river en tered the Candian territory at Sitawaka. About three miles beyond the lag mentioned place, be drove the Candians from a ftrong battery at Appoola.pitty, where he paired that night and the next day, to give time to Captain Jona Beeman, of his Majefl?s Cep lon Native Infantry, who bad paired with a detach ment from Negumbo through the Alocteer, Happit. tigam, and Hina Corks, to arrive at bfamagedda on the oppolite fide of the Catany Conga. Captain BUCHAN had performed his touch with confiderabls difficulty from the Roads (which he overcame with great judgment and perfeverance) but with little oppofition from the enemy or the re bels ; neariMoogotampelly he had been attacked. but repulfed the afailants, killed three of them, and took one prifoner. While he was on his march. a party of thirty fix Malays, (of thofe taken at Candy) came into him from the Army of the fecond Adigaar, who was proceeding from the Seven Corks, to join the King at Rowanelly. On the morning of the 12th, both detachments marched forward, and that of Captain Pottoce, at a place called Organda. about five miles from At.- poola-Pitty, fell in with the remains of the grand Army of the Candians. which had been defeated at Hangwelle, reinforced by that which the fecond Adi. gaar had brought from the (even Corks. They feemed determined to make an obilittate refinance, fo much fo, that twenty fix of their men, including two`Mo hottars, were (lain in the battery. Their whole army then fled, and Captain Pozsoca proceeded with little more oppotizion to Rowanelly. where he was joined by Captain Bu C ea. That village, the mon commercial and populous in the kingdom of Candy, then fell into our hands, together with magazines a.id !lore* of artillery, am munition and provilivns, which the King of Candy had been long preparing for his late unfortunate ex• pedition, and a palace which he had ordered to be crcfled in a very fumptuous flyle. This palace, together with t too honks, has been burned. The troops returned yefterday, the t 3th Septem ber to Sitawaka.
