Lieutenant Carer tow arrived yeflerday with the PkINCISS ROYAL armed brig, from Surinam, where he had gone on form fecret million, with a flag of truce. It is generally believed that 26 form as we are reinforced by the two regiments expeacd in the Cork fleet, an expedition now in readinefs will proceed againft that important colony : its foccefs cannot be doubted. A few days before Lieutenant Csstraos reached Surinam, the Guachapin brig had been on the coati, and Captain Nl.Kvezta formed the dazing plan of cutting out the Dutch frigate lying in the river. He proceeded with the boat himfelf ; but finding the ebb would meet hilts ere he could reach his °hie& he pulled into a creek. where he could be completely bid, to wait the next flood ; when that happened, he found, to his utter mortification, on muflering the crews of the boats, that (even of them had defected; and as there could be no doubt, the dittance overland to the town being trifling, but both the forts and (hips were by this time alarmed by the rafcals, he was reluttantly compelled to return to his veil. Though by this means the Dutch frigate was for a time raved to them, yet in Inch JeteflAtion did the Commandant bola the treacherous con..utt of thefe men, that with the exception of one, who was a Dane, he ordered them inaantly into dole con flnesnent ; and when the PRISCI6S RUYAL strived, they were font on board of her, and were landed hereyenerday, under a Orong guard. _ . .

Previous to that time, a general tufpenfion of hoftilities had taken place, and negotia tions had been entered into, of die fuccefsful refult of which no doubt was entertained. Indeed the lan overland difpatch fufficiently prepared us for this event. The repeated defeats which Scindia had ex. perienced, rendered all further refinance completely hopelefs, and fo defperate was his caufe eonftdered, that his troops had deferted in great numbers. The military operations that immediately preceded the aemillice were of very little eunfcquence, and lofe their importance altogether from the events which have fo happily succeeded them.
