By the Teignmonth Packet, Captain WALES, ar rived at Plymouth from Bengal, dilpatches have been received at the India Houfe from the Marquis WEL tress; containing the pleating intelligence, that l'e.tce has been perfally rettorcd to our poffeffiuns in India. Colc:lel WOOO, charged with difpatches for Go. wernment, announcing the fame intelligence, alfo ar riv,:d in the Teignmouth. Mr. PArrealow came paffenger in the fame ve(fel. Yefterday afternoon was very fruitful in rumours. It was reported that the fquadron under Sir STRACHAN had fallen in with, and captured the Rochefort fquadron. We are forry to add, that we cannot find any fuch accounts have been received at the Admiralty. It was alfo rumoured that Admiral Loom; had fallen in with the wreck of the enemy's fleet after the late battle GE Trefalgar, and captured ten more of them. We with we could fay there were any grounds - for believing this intelligence well founded. We are ignorant of the quarter to which Admiral Louts was detached, but we fear that it did nut afford him much chance of intercepting a fquadron•of the enemy. The fcene of the late anion was within ten leagues of Cadiz ; and as the fhips which efcaped, giving all polfible credit to the gallantry and enterprize of Ad miral Gaavms, would fcarcely venture, for lonic time at lead, to appear at a greater diftance from that port, it is not very probable that any farther ad vantages have been obtained over them. A third rumour Rated, that an attempt had been made upon Boulogne by Sir SYDNEY SMITH ;—that the town and heights had been carried by the troops by a coup 41, • main, and the whole flowla reduced to ashes. This report came to us from fo many quar ters, and was [fated with fo much confidence, that for a fhort time we were deceived by it, and beiore we could make the proper enquiries at the Admiralty, (about a mile diflant from our Office) we had ac tually Rated the fact as certain, in about 200 copies of a fecond edition of our Paper. In the fubfequent part of our impreffion, we hated the fate!, that no fuch accounts had been received by. Government.— Indeed by our letters from Dover we learn that Sir SYDNEY SMITH was in that harbour yelterday. Later in the evening another report was circulated with fo much confidence as to induce one of our con. give it a place in his columns. I t te mporaries to (fated, thit the Kirin of Pen SSIA had been affaffinat. ed ; and the intelligence was (aid to have the autho rity of a letter, received by a refpetable honfe in the City. On enquiry, we found that no fuch letter had rtached that quarter ; and we attach no credit wha:- kever to the statement. It is faid that Minifters have received advice, that in•confequence of the Ruffians having bee* apprifed , of the defeat of Macs, it was thought advifeable not to maintain the advinced polition on the Inn, but to fail back upon the fecond Ruffian Army. In that cafe, BONAPARTR will find it more difficult to force them to a battle, but at the fame time the Archduke in Italy is left in the greater danger. We underhand, that on the pft ult. Admiral Sir CHARLES STIRLING was off Ferrol, with five fail of the line, and feven (huller •tfials, at which time no thing important had occurred in that quarter. Some of our contemporaries perfiß in Rating, that his Royal Highnefs the Duke of Yo has. been ap pointed Commander in Cbief for the expedition. We can alien poitively`fhat, whatever may eventually happen, no fuch appointment had taken place when the lati Privy Council broke up, which was lall Wed• nefday. Yefterday the Princefs AUGUSTA completed her 37th year, on which occation their Majeaies received the congratulations of feveral of the Nobility at Windfor Cattle. The Officers of the King's own Mi litia gave a grand Ball, in Windfor Town Hall, in the evening, in honour of the day. _ _ _ Yefterday morning, at nine o'clock, the Duke of KRNT arrived at Windfor. On Thurfday afternoon the Duchefi of Yoca ar rived at Windfor on a vifit to their Majefties. Yellerday the Duke of GLOUCESTER Lord CAST LEREAGH, and Mr. PITT, had a codultation with the Duke of YoLK, from about two o'clock till Mrs.. Fox, the Lady of General Fox, had the ha norm of being privately received by the Royal. FA MILY at Windfor, on Saturday and took leue of their MAJESTINS and the Princedes, preparatory to her departure for Gibraltar.

ANECDOTE Or THE LATE GENERAL WASHINGTON* —One REUBEN Rouzy, of Virginia, owed the Gene ral about 1,0001. While Prefident of the United States, one of his agents brought an atlion for the money ; judgment was obtained, and execution iffued againft the body of the defendant, who was taken to jail.—He had a confiderable landed efface, but this, kind of property cannot be fold in Virginia for debts. unlefs at the difcretion of the perfon. He had a large farnily, and for the fake of his children, preferred lying in jail to felling his land.—A friend hinted to him that probably General WASHINGTON did not know any thing of the proceediog, and that it might be well to fend him a Petition, with a flatemect of the cirenmilances. He did fo—and the very next poft from Philadelphia, after the arrival of his peti • tion in th a t city, brought him an order for his imme diate releafe, together with a full difcharge, and a fe ve re repriMand to the agent for having gled in fuch a manner. Poor Rouzy was, in confequence, reamed to his family, who never laid down their heads at night without prefenting prayers to HEAVEN for their " beloved WASHINGTON." PROVIDENCE (Willed upon the labours of the grateful family, and in a few years Rouzy enjoyed the exquifite pleafure. of being able to lay the toool. with intereft at the feet of this truly great man. 'V . Vasasain roe reminded him that the debt was difcharged. Rouzy replied, the debt of his family to the father of their country, and preferrer of their parent, could never be dif. charged ; and the General, to avoid the pleating im portunity of the grateful Virginian, who would nut be denied, accepted the money—only, however, to divide it amougft Rouz v's children, which he im mediately did. :mum& INTBLLIWINCII.
