OFFICIAL ACCOUNT OF Tilt LTIS or THE CABALVA EAST INDIAMAN. Accounts have been received by the private ship Windsor Castle, which left .Bombay on the 3d of June, and the Mauritius the 17th of July, that the Company's ship CABALVA having sprung a leak off the Cape, on the 29.ci of June, it was determined to bear up for Bombay to Dock the ship, and that in l.yr passage thither she struck on the small island of Cargados, on the 7th of July, at half-past four A.M. and Was totally wrecked. Captain DALRYMPLE, Mr Glut NT, the Surgeon's Mate, and fifteen of the crew, were drowned ; Mr. AYRES (the Purser,) and the sixth Officer and eight men, arrived at the Mauritius in a small open boat, from the island, where they had left the remainder of the crew, on the 14th of July.

She left Admiral Haevev, in the Antelope, 50, Captain G. SAYER (2), at Trinidad, whence he irtended to sail after the hurricanes had' ceased, about the 16th of October, (or Barbadoes. The Childers, Captain WESTROPP ' hid. left the sta tion for En g land. The S ca m an d er brought dispatches from Lord COMBERMER E. The accounts she brings of the Patriotic cause on the Spanish Main are deci dedly favourable on that side. The last operations wele attended with the capture of Guira and all the shipping there, by the naval force under the Patriot Admiral 131tros and General BERMUDEZ. It appears, though the proceedings of our squadron are regu lated by the most rigid principles of neutrality, our merchants have far greater reason to complain of the lawless capricious conduct of the Spanish Royalist Officers, as they are called, than they have of any of those numerous mixed individuals who have espoused the Independent cause. Having recently captured four of our merchant vessels, carried them into Guira, and refused to give them up, Captain ELLIOT was dispatched thither in the Scamander, by Admiral TIA It VEY, to demand restitution of the vessels, or a compensation for their loss: if refused, he was to re sort to force. The Governor gave a peremptory re fusal to his demands; and therefore Captain ELLIOTT immediately cleared the Scamander for action, beat to quarters, and hoisted the signal for action at the main. The seamen were delighted with the prospect before them ; but previous to the completion of the preparations, Admiral BRION, who had arrived with his force, with the intention of attacking the place, proposed to Captain ELLIOTT to suspend his opera tions until he had made the attack ; and if he should prove successful, he would engage to deliver up the four British vessels to Captain Etttorr. This was agreed to, and Admiral BRION and General Beemo- DEZ commenced their operations at four o'clock in the afternoon of the 24th of August. Knowing from experience the dastardly character of their advert nary, they landed about seventy men and boys in the woods near the fort, which force they contrived should be magnified by report in the place to five hundred men. These few men commenced by firing off their pieces with the utmost rapidity, and making the most frightful hallooing noise, whilst the squadron kept up a vigorous bombardment of the fort., Very soon the Spaniards took, fright, about 350 in number, and deserted the place with the utmost precipitancy.— BRION took possession of the vessels, including nine gun-boats, and General BERMUDEZ entered the town, and secured all the property. BRION delivered up the four English merchuntmen, as he had agreed. His force consisted of the Victoria, of 28 guns, two brigs, two schooners, and eight gun-boat s . There are a great number of English Officers employed in the In dependent cause, who, if they fall into the hands of the Spaniards, are treated with the most savage cruelty. Captain ELLIOTT was shocked at the sight of an instance of their atrocity on the person of an English Surgeon, who bad been fornlerly in the Bri tish army, whose body he saw lying on the beach at Guira, stabbed in all parts, and his head nearly- se vered from his body. He had been taken pt44oster in one of Barcee'sNessels previous to the attack on the place, whilst on hi‘ passage to join the Indepen dent troops. Just previous to the Scamander's sail ingi about fourteen Lieutenants of the British Navy' lett the Independent service, and shipped themselves in a brig, to return home: they could not obtain the pay that was due to them. During the zealous ser vices of the Scamander, in protecting the trade of this country when improperly interrupted, or pre venting the principles of it from violation, she seized and condemned ten vessels of various descriptions for breaches of the Navigation Laws. One, an Ameri can-built vessel, manned chiefly by Americans, her cargo the property of citizens of the United States, and her register a false one: another was discovered importing sugar and other produce of South America into one of our islands::nnother was fiom England, laden with gunpowder and ammunition, articles pro hibited from exportation: and several French vessels, employed in smuggling silks, brandy, and various articles of French manufacture, from Martinique and Guadeloupe into our islands. No condemnation of either vessel or cargo took place, but wherein the case was proved to have been in manifest violation of known or proclaimed laws: one or two, not strictly of this description, were with great liberality restored again to the owners.—Many transactions tend to chew that the authority of the Mother Country has little influence in Spanish America, even among those who have been constituted to administer her laws : they are more swayed by selfishness and caprice. The following case is spoken of a, a most shameless in stance of this description, and which must become the subject of sharp remonstrance with the Spanish Government. The British brig Eclipse, with a mas ,ter and nineteen men, and having on board about five thousand dollars, was seized at Samna, in the island of St. Domingo, by the Custom-house Authorities there in the pay of the Spanish Government, was im mediately condemned as Insurgent property, and the proceeds forthwith distributed, though it was offered to be proved that the vessel and property belonged to merchants at Barbadoes, who had entered into a contract to supply the British troops and ships with oxen, and that it was in the execution of this duty that the vessel had come to Samaria, for the purpose of purchasing cattle. So soon as Admiral II Alt LY and Lord Costeensteire heard of this infraction of! the Law of Nations, the Scamander was dispatched to Samana to demand the vessel and property. The vessel was 'found totally useless, the money she had on board had been distributed, the crew had been thrown into a dungeon, and three of them had there died of a fever. The Governor of the place acknow ledged the error of the Judge ; but he said the public treasury did not contain a single dollar, and there fore he could not offer any satisfaction. A letter from Copenhagen, dated October 13, says, " A new treaty of Commerce has been concluded be tween this Court and Prussia, which was ratified last week. The Russian ship Suwarrow, Captain Bonte tide, anchored jn our Roads yesterday. it comes from the Russian worth Ames lean colony of Kodjack, and returned home by way of Lima and Rio Janeiro." THE ARMY. Three transports arrived at Dover on saturday night front Calais, with detachments and baggat-,e of the 12th Lancer's, 11th Dragoons, 16th Hussars, Artillery, 91st Regiment, and Rifle Brigade. The depots of the 30th, 46th. 49th, 53d. 69t), 80th, 87th, and 89th regiments, are removed from Canterbury to Chatham, and those of the sth and 43d to Deal.

" Major-General Hon is much gratified at being able to ex press his fullest approbation of the general good appearance of the King's Dragoon Guards, not only at Head-quarters, bat also at the different Out-quarters of the Regiment, and requests of Liellten/t-Colonel TEISDALL that he will convey-these senti ments to the Officers, Non-commicsioned,Officers, and Men of the Regiment under his command. .end the Nfajor-General assures Lieutenant-Colonel TEE:MALI!, that he will report most • andsfactorily upon the whole of th e interior regulation as exist ing In this Regiment, and particularly upon the good Dome.- ' nannship so generally prevalent throughout the whole.
