Our (Swedith) Eaft India Company has re ceived advice, that two of their Chips, viz. the Gullavus, and the Well Gothland, arrived at the Cape in the latter end of January, homeward bound. It is much feared that they will fall in to the hands of the Euglifh. Our merchants W ier much by the interruption of their trade with England, as no goods on Engliili account can now be either forwarded or di:pafed Yellerday a Court of Dire tors was had at the Ealt India Houfe, when the following Comman ders took leave previous to their departing for their rcfpettit•e dellinations : Captain Tito S WALL, of the Dugs ofBUCCLEI; C H, Csptaiu JOHN WORDS. 17oxru, Jun. of the EARL of ABLIWAVENNY, for China; Captain GEORGE GOOCH, of the Sir Sre ?HEN LUSHINGTON, and Captain Joivi DALE, of the LORD THlnu.trw, fur Madras and Bengal.

Lieutenant FORBES, his officers and crew, were well. The French fleet which was lately teen tiff Ma laga, was not the fquadron under Admiral GAN- T its* U e, which is now generally fuppofed to have gone to the Weft Indies.

Yefterday evening a mob alfembled at a Maga zine in BandonArect, and were proceeding to aEts of violence, when the military were called in, and inflantly difperfed them without blood(bed. Pa trolcs of infantry and HOMPESCH'S Heats pa raded the town during the night, and Al remained quiet. This morning the people collected again to the amount of about moo; and after parading vari ous ftreets, to difplay their mifcry to the - Store holders, repaired to the Mayor's !mule, where General MYERs, with many of the principal men in office, were atrc.mbled. A deputation of 12 men entered, and in a fubmiflive way, dated their grievance, declaring at the fame time, that their intentions were in no refpee riotous or diforderly. The General allured thcm,that every poflible mca lure fhould be taken to have the public markets fupplied ; and they withdrew in perfea order, re lying on thefe expedations. The limps were not flan, nor was the fmalleft violence praftifed upon any individual. The patient endurance with v:l.'ch the dißrefred in this defponding moment meet their mifery, is fingularly exemplary : There never were fewer robberies or affaults committed in Cork than at prefent. This pait of the ;;ngdom feems to be a more immediate prey to the penury which pre vails. The fait crop of Potatoes throughout the whole country which fupplies this populous city, was remarkably deficient; and from molt didant parts, which were not quite fo unfortunate, the inhabitants will not part with their fupplies. Ano ther preffirre too, upon this city, arifes from the bounty on imports of grain, which was allowed during. the exiflence of the fah Parliament, cea fing from the moment of its difTolution, and :101. yet being renewed by th•t United Parliamcnt.— This cireumftance has deprived the market of four American veffels, flour-loaded, which very I.4tely arrived at Cove, and on learning that the bounty was difcontinued, took their molt dciirable car goes to Liverpool.

Many thoufands are now parading the town with fome degree of clamour. THr EE O'CLOCK.—They are all peacea7)ly perfed again, on receiving an engagement from one of the Store-holders, immediately to retaii out his Corn at a low price, and give his Mills to grind it for the ufe of the Poor. • This example, it is fuppofed, will be followed by the other Merchants, in order to maintain the continuance of order. The Military, who were ready, are returned to their quarters. The fon of Mr. Lewis, the Aftor, who received a revere wound in the late Adion with DHOONDIA, in the Eaf Indies, WAS completely recovered, when the Ind accounts left Madras.

Among thofe perfons that efcaped, an aged woman was particularly clamorous in exclaiming—" Oh my Tom cat, and my bird!" On Saturday night, as a waggon leaded with hemp was going along Eaft Smithfield, a frark of fire from a lamplighter's burger fell on it, which was not (lit - covered till it began to blaze.—After fomc difficulty the fire was extinguifbed. On Sunday fe'imight the following fmgular rob bery was committe(Jat Monmouth : Tome thieves got into the dwelling-hot& of r.

Some of the family fiept over the room whence the plate was taken, and others over that by which it is fuppofcd the villains entered the houfe.
