All the Itipwrights, joiners, and honk-carpen ters, who were put on the firil infant upon double time and a tide, at Portfmonth, were on Monday put upon double time only. One hundred feamen and fifty foldiers are employed to clear the Yard of all the It ood, iron, and other materials,that were brought from the (lore: for refitting, &c. So many Prifoners have been removed from Portcheller Ca de and Forton Prifon on board the Prifon Ships in the harbour, that only 17 remain in prifon at the foremr place, and 14 at the latter. Two French (hips have entered the King's road, Briltol ; they are fuppofed to be laden with grain, and may return with French prifoners. An account tranfmitted by the lan di?patch from Port William fays, "A difpatch has been received at this prelidency, containing an account of the failure of the Mahratta army, in an attempt they made to form the lines of the Jeypoor Rajah, and the other Princes who arc made confederates to his MARAGEO Row DOWLUT ROW SCINDFAH, infpired with his fucceffes in Agimcre, on the 16th of April, on which day the formidable army of the Jeypoor Rajah was beaten and difperfed, with the lots of 18 pieces of cannon, continued in Agi mere for further inftruaions from his Court. a The Rajah of Jeypoor, in this engagement, muflered all his forces; even his tributaries from the hills were kept as a referve. He commanded in perfon, having zo battalions, zOOO Nauges, 2000 Rohillas, and ifioo cavalry ; and, it is laid, he brought fifty - fix guns into the had. The Ra jah, with the (tattered remains of his vanquifhed army, fell back upon Jeypoor, a dillance of nearly go miles, with the utmoft precipitation, leaving the extenfive plains of Agimere, from right to left, to &INDIUM. Here he formed an encamp ment with the Mahratta army, the whole line be ing commanded by LockwaoaDa, and reinforced by the fecond brigade, the brigade of the Cheva lier Duderneig, three battalions of I.uckwadada, and one battalion belonging to the Cootah Rajah. The Mahrattas thought thcmfelves fecurcly pc:led, and had no idea of the return of the Jeypoor Ra jah again to difpute the ground, after to fignal a defeat. " It appears that the Jeypoor Raj-th had the influence to induce the Stile Government to grant them a reinforcement. It is Paid, the payment of an immenfe turn led to the meafure. Several Seik Sirdars, whole territories border on the Kings and Zemindars of the Jams, airembled their forces.— Fifty of thefe men are enough to keep at bay a whole battalion of the King's forces. This fuhli diary force is Rated to amount to 8000 men, all mounted. At the commencement of the anion, on the 16th of April, the Jeypoor Rajah's forces amounted to near 63,000. He now rallied his fu gitives, and, being iulpired with the known ref). lotion of the Seiks, commenced his march to make a fecond attack. " IA June, the neceitary di Cpafitions having taken place, the army moved forward, and, owing to fome extraordinary delays, fuch as the colleCting of forage and grain, macit but little progrefs.--.- The Mahratta army having made a previous move ment, a little to the road weR of Agra, fell upon the rear of the Jeypoor Rajah's army at daybreak, and was beaten back, owing, it is Paid, to too much impetuofity in the method of attack; the aftion foon became general, both armies recog nizing each other till the evening, when the Stilt cavalry having haralred the Mahrattas exceeding ly, they thought proper to retire, carrying with them their flandards and camp equipage. The lots on this occafion has been very revere on both fides. The obßinacy of the Seiks animated the Rajah's forces, which is a principal caufe of their fuccefs. T 1 aBion is only deemed a check, and there is no doubt of the termination of the cotreil to the advantage of the Mahratta Government." A letter lately received from Calcntta informs us, that the auxiliary Seik force, with which that Government have furnilhed the Jeypoor Rajah, in order to enable him to repel the Mahratta army, is commanded by Sagas S,,u,of Booreah, and Ra. j.dt S•mta Siho, • Putteal' nown. A Vakeel has been to report, to the Seiks, on tas i and it is imagined that railed upon to wstbdraw new league. pavan-Lams.—Laft night the fplen,lo PrAr . , or rather Pantomime, of Pissarro was stionitd the fire time this feafon, and, if poinbir, wit)) a ditional decorative attraaion. There was no change either in the piece or the performers: of the latter, we can only fay that their efforts in this drama are entitled to general approbation. CovINT•GARDICN.The *loci, and Sir Arch Mac Sarcafre, of Mr. COOKE, attratted IA night a brilliant and crowded houfe. . If he does not altogether rival MACKLIN, in the firs chara , fter,few be bold enough to maintain that he is inferior to him in the latter. MACKL't • may have had more of the 'lately dignity belonginZ to the " ancient families of the North ;" but it Wll impotllble for him to apply more of the flatteriff untlion of ait oily tongue, or difplay more vorfati lity of adulation, snore charaeleriftic humour, and natural irony, than Coots. The farce of Low-a-la-Male mull continue robe a favourite while any thing like real title prevails; and while it is fupported by fuck at ors as Cams, Lewis, and joarsroe a, it mull continue pecu liarly attiaaive. It would be injutlice to.pifsover without commendation the merits of .S 1 vs items, its Mordecai. He is not much inferior to Q2scs, his predecelfor in the part. This week is the laQ, for this feafon, in which the Bath Comediani will perform three ti me s weeklr in Briltol : the Play on Monday was Otbdlo, the bill of which was rendered extraordinary, by a formal declaration that befilexiona would be exhi bited on the very fumptuous ftate.bed, which Mr. BECKFORD recently had at Foothill. Lord and Lady Cnot.stow be LLY have gone, for a few days, to Houghton Hall. The death of the Archbilhop of Dublin has put all the Irifh dignitaries of the Church on the alert. The Me r u - s us, of Corfham, have behaved with their accuaomed benevolence upon the happy oc. cation of peace being rellored. Colonel OOLE, of Melfham, gave two (beep, to be mailed whole. At Kenfham an Ox was malted whole, and on the top of a building near the fire, a band of mull cians played 0 the Roe Beef of Old Zsgland ! It was placed before a temporary furnace at twelve at night, and taken up the next day at noon for the maftication of the Villagers. The illuniinations at Bath were permitted but for one night : the MATO,. and Jultices pofitively forbade a repetition of the meafure. A curious circumftance occurred at Briftol on Saturday bat. A Sailor went into the Bufh Ta vern, and faid he wifhed to pay his reckoning; on being told he owed nothing, he fwore that he had 250 guineas, and that he would 'eave them with Mr. AVI E as, as he Kati been paid off from the Lownow man of wars on Mr. Wales offering to take them to the Bank to prevent his being rob bed, he thruft two or three Bank Notes into his mouth, and eat them, d—g kis s eyes, and raying he would confult his wife. The only accident mentioned in the French pa pers, as having taken place in cnnfequence of the tumult of the rejoicings for Peace, is rather of a very agreeable nature. A young man, afflieted with deafnefs, happened to place himfelf near the cannon when they were going to fire the &Ivo.— A cannoneer called to him to keep off, but he did not hear. The cannon went off immediately, and the explotion almoft completely cured him of his deafnefs As the price of rags h confiderably reduced, we hope to find that a large reduttion will be made in the price of Paper, which has encreafed within the laft year or two, much beyond a fair proportion of advance in the matcriais, andthe duties impofed by Government.

After a very few obfervations from the Coroner, the Jury unanimoully returned a verdia of—lei jr! Marder. A great number of people were again colleeted yeiterday in St. James's Park, imagining that Come perfon had been murdered. From the appearance of blood in the canal, the water WA3 dragged order of Earl Eu SION, but to no other efTe& than procuring a quantity of meat, a great part of it unfit for fele, which had been thrown in by fome wicked butcher. There is not the lea( rz.tfun to fuppoce that any murder has been committed. The account of tracks of blood being feen in the direetion of Story's Gate, &c. is utterly unfounded.
