Intelligence of the moil important and fatisfaelory nature may therefore be fhortly expeaed from that quarter. On the 20(11 inflant a Danifh veffel arrived in Stand gate Creek, from Cadiz, from which place the failed on the 2111 ult.

This information the Captain took the earliell means of conveying to Lord Rosser FITZGERALD, at Lif. bon, whn deemed it of fufficient importance to dif patch the Prince of Wales packet to England with the intelligence to Government. Yefterday evening we received Paris Journals to the r sth. They mention the report which we have before Rated that the Combined Fleets had attacked Li!bon, captured a number of our Merchant (hips, and alto the force under Sir JAMS. CRAIG. &c. &c. But as this intelligence is Rated to have been received at Perpig; nan on the zd of May, and the ha Lifbnn packet left that pl ice on the 4th, it is evident that the whole is a mere fabrication. Thefe papers prefent come exaggerated details re• fpeding the operations of the French fquadron in the Well Indies. They 'late the number of captured vef fels at 250; if fo, they mull mean boats included.— The lots of the Colonias they put at four millionsjlerfing!

DISPATCHES OF MARIVIS WELLESLEY, CAPTURED IN THE HOPI li I REAR ADMIRAL LINO'S. No. 1. EXTRACT or A LETTER. ADDRESSED BY HIS EXCELLENCY TUE MOST NOBLE THE GOVERNOR orNzaAL TO TUE [RENT NW NOURAILY LORD UOLALT, DA CEO NOV. SO, 18c3. The fel ies of the events in India during the Taft three months has futnifhed matter for ferious reflec tions in regard to the deligns of the French in India, and with refpea to the means by which a formidable French party might be ellabliffied among the Native Powers. Whatever may have been the interpretation given in England to the convention of :787 in regard to the natore of the French eflabliffiments in India, the cireumflances which accompanied the arrival of M. Pinot and M. Decaen at Pondicherry, added to , the general condutt cf the French at Pondicherry finee the conclufion of the peace of Amiens, has evi dently proved that the intention of France was to eflablifh a military and political power in India. 4 , This intention will ay; ear evident to your Ex cellency, by examining the fubjoined [late of the efla blifhment formed by the French government for the occupation of the French poffeflions in the continent of India. This efiablilliment, difpatched in a grea t part from France in the month of March, 1803, is now at the 111: de France, under the command of M. DICAEN, and the reft were embarked at Madras for France, under the command of M. Btu or, agreeably to the terms granted to tlse French who had landed at Pondicherry in the month of June. 4 ‘ Your Lordihip will be pleafed to remark, that the French expedition, fuch as it arrived in India, was purely military, and that the French Government had appointed for the fervice of India a very exten five Military Staff, capable cf furnilbing officers to a confiderable army. The intention of the French in regard to the re•conftruetion of their old fortifica tions has not been manifefled, but confidering the extent of the expedition which has arrived in India, one mull neceffarily conclude, that the intention of France was to embrace this opportunity of reinforcing and extending its military refources and its power in India. " The civil and military government of the Car natic being in the hands of the Company, the French who are arrived with M. Binot met with great li@i• culties in their political intrigues, and thefe difficulties are Dill increafed by the fituation in which that divi lion of the French troops finds itfclf, in regard to the doubtful Rate of the negotiations which exifled be tween his Zslajeity and the French Government. " The vigilance of the Government of Fort St. George, fupported by theft advantages, rendered all r communication between the French at Pondicherry and ti.c Native Powers of India - almon impoffible.— There exifl, however, many reafons to jullify my opi. nion, that the French have arrived in India with the mon hoflile difpofition, and a relllefs anxiety of em bracing every opportunity for opening a way among the Native Powers for their fyllem cf political intrigue, and for finding out there a rival iufluence, in order to weaken the Britifh power in that part of the Globe. According to information tranfmitted to me, 1 have no doubt that the intention of the French Go. vernment was to difperfe emiiTaries of political in ttigue, and military adventurers in all the Courts and Camps of the native Princes; and I am convin ced that all the queflions fappofed in my difpatch of the xoth of June, would have been Rarted immedi ately after the reftitution pf the French eftabliihrnents• 44 That I may afford yoor Excellency an oppottu nity of judgigg of the political and military progrefs of the French, who have arrived in India, in confe- Anence of the peace of Amiens, I have the honour of fubjoining two pieces, one of which comes from Pon dicherry from Lieutenant-Colonel Cullen, an officer charged with the execution of the reflitutions to be made on the coati of Coromandel : it was written by M. le Febre, formerly an officer in the fervice of the French at Pondicherry, who accompanied M. Decaen in India, and who at the time Colonel Cullen had this piece, was Aid-de-Camp to M. Binot. This memoir was prefented to the Fir fiConful of the French Repub lic; and Col. Cullen remarked, that it was confidered at Pondicherry as a fecret paper, which he could not obtain without great difficulty. The fecond was addreffed to me by M. Muller, who lays, he holds in the army the rank of Chef de Brigade. He arriv ed at Calcutta loon after the news of the renewal of hoftilities between Great Britain and France had arrived at this Prefidency. Having declared that it was in his power to difcnver to this Government things of importance in regard to the &Signs of France ; and having ailed him to communicate this information in writing, he addreffed to me the letter which I have the honour of fubjoining. " Though thefe papers contain proporak which in many refpeEts are abfurd and chimerical, they fuffi ciently indicate the fpirit of thofe who conceived and approved them ; and even the execution of flute of thofe pr .:efts cannot be fNppofed to be fo sift 'nary, when one :Ideas on the Rate of the native armies, as they might at fira appear. "The caufes and events of the conttfl in which the Britifh Government is now engaged againft two Chiefs of the Marattah Empire, have given fuflicient proofs of the formidable power which might be eta bliffied by French adventurers and a fpirit of enter prife in the armies and Rates of the native powers. " Your Excellency will certainly turn your atten tion to the difpatches addreffed during the fall fix month., to the Secret Committee of the Court of Di. reaors, by the Governor General feparately, and by the Governor-General in Council, and you will loon perceive the rapid increafe and dangerous military refources of Dowlut-Row-Scindiah, under tire direc tion of M. Peron, or rather the rapid and dangerous increafe of the military refources of the French in India, tinder the nominal authority of Dowlut- Row- Scintliah. " If the piratical (late founded by M. Peron i a the barks of the Jumna, had not been, to my know ledge, anteriorly conne&ed with the French Govern ment, your Excellency will judge that this circum fiance ought not to have exhibited danger, norwith (landing the formation and increafe cf fuch a power in India. This power was fully prepared to give effectual and cordial aid to fupport the French caufe in India, and to forward the plojefls of France with equal promptitude and zeal. " The origin, indeed, and progrefs of the civil and military authority cf M. Perron mutt be afcribed to the diforder and confufi9n of the Marrattah Empire, the weaknefs and corruption of the Council of Scin diah, and the decline of his real intereas and jutl dominion. The Chiefs and' Commanders of this french State are all military adventurers, and they have drawn their refources from licentious conqueit and unbounded depredation. Thefe traits of their charader, however, do not appear to be of Inch a na ture as to render them altogether unworthy "of the attention of the prefent rulers of France. Your Ex cellency will remark, in regard to the political pro jells of France in India, the advantage which M. Peron and his band of French adventurers have derived from the :.Safe of the nominal authority of the unfortunate Emperor Shah-Alum. " M. Peron has obtained the exercife of the So vereign authority over a territory, the annual re venues of which are nearly two millions &fling, and he has negociated and concluded treaties andalliances in his own name, with feveral petty Bates.
