By a letter fent on (bore to the Captain of the Fort here, from Captain Ooit.- vis, he informs, that from the very heavy fquall s and firong lee currents he could not get round fooner; for fome days previous to the 3d until the 6th, there was nothing but very heavy (quails and rain, which obliged the fhips in the offing to keep well afundcr, and wbas tha of war appeared they were much featured indeed : upon the Com- 1 modore's joining they werkfoon colleted together,! but were not able to proceed to fca, until the morning oftihe sth, when they were all out of fight.

The ADMIRAL PA s Lay then fell in with and captured a Spanifh felucca privateer, of ten guns, and two brigs valuably laden, which are arrived at Minorca.

On the stßult.the HERM?s (loop and Vtovrrt brig failed from Elfineur with the homeward-bound fleet, confifting of about too fail under convoy, but were obliged to put back again by contrary winds, and remain there.

A letter received yeflerday from Baltimore, in America, dated the soth of July, 'Rol, lays— " The wheat harvelt in this country is now le cured in excellent order. The crop is a very abun dant one, and greater than has been known for at lean feven years pall. The grain, perhaps, ' generally fpeaking, was never better. Without an European demand, both wheat and flour mull be very low in this country this autumn. The prefent price for wheat is from its. 3d. to 13s. 6d. per' ' bawl. Superfine flour 91d tosii dollars per barrel." We have the pleafurc to know that information of a fimilar nature. has arrived from every part of Europe. A letter from St. John's, New Brunfwick, dated July i, lays : u Our crops of corn, Ste. this year. have a good appearance; but w: do not raile wheat futficient for the internal confumption. but arc dependant on New York for our fopply. " The fetticments in this province are rapidly extending, and the country improving ; within thort period, numerous fettlements, with tolerable good farms, have been ellablithed between Saint John's andTrederickton, a dillance of eighty-two miles ; and fcveral villages, and a great many ht dements, between Fred.rii kton and the Great Falls, about 120 miles allinder. The fummers are intenfely hot, and the winters fo cold, that the mercury in the thermometer lometimes freezes ; our houli.s, however, are tandem! very %win by moans of dons." EAST INDIES. The following account, lately received from Bengal, will throw fi,me light on the clink of the war carried on in e..rc Coyote country. Among the Nairs, with whom the lingular cuflom prevails of one woman having a plurality of hdbands, the right of inheritance, instead of following in the dire& male line, devolves to the children of lifters; hence the fovereignty of Cotiote became a fubjeet of dirpute between two lons of feparate lifters, com monly known as the Coorimnad and Pyche Rajahs. This competition exifted when Tr Irmo's ufurpa tion took place, an event that occafioned molt of the Rajahs to reek protection to the Southward, leaving their .diftriels a prey to his tyranny.— Among the fugitives was the Rajah of Coorim nad, who fought a refuge in Travancore, while the Pyche Rajah, who remained to lhare the for tune of his country, acquired a degree of populari ty, which enabled him the better hereafter to con tend with the fenior and preferable right of the Coorimnad. By the interference, how.:ver, of Government, the Coorimnad has been eftabi ith e d, it appearing, beyond a dub:, that his cl rim to Cotiote fuperfeded that of the Pyche Rajah. Thus the caufe of difaffeEtion and the fpirit fr. vest has been traced to its proper fource, and acct ',Arts for the vexations which the Pyche Rajah is at all times fedulous to promote. A letter from Dacca, (Bengal), of .a late a date as the 3d of May, lays, that information kr: :lug been given to Mr. CA MACK, that a dangerous con fpiracy exifted againtt the peace of that Govern ment, by fume of the dicafteaeti chiefs, of whom Shemf.ud bowla was at the herd, he immediately aired fecret orders to the civil and military powers to de every exertion to trace the hidings to the bottom ; when, after a long inve ligation, it ap peared that the confpirators had for ti,nie time kept up a communication with feveral of the molt refractory vibes in the various provinces of Ben gal, particularly the daring depredators on the eaftern banks of the Ganges, many of whom were to havebeen drawn towards that city under various pretences, together with a number of facquieres, who had engaged to celebrate a public reli gious feftival, in order to throw the military and civil power off their guard on the occalion, when advantage was to have been taktn of the popular tumult and confufion, in which they were to have feleCted the vielims to their revenge. A depot of (mall arms (moftly matchlocks) have been dill 'covered in the jungles, and many of the ringlead ers have been imprifoned. Mr. Ceows has failed in his million to eftablifh a relidency at Scind ; 7emann Shaw having de clared himfelf averfe to the mearrire, not from any real diflike to a friendly communication with the Company, but from an apprehenfion that the refl. dente of Europeans among them will afford to the difaffe.ted clans of the Seicks means and eacufes for, fermenting thole diftractions and rebellions which have dilinembered and weakened the fouth ern countries. A detachment from Colonel VICORS'S battalion, l in January, marched up the barks of a branch of the Arree river, towards r.lalkar, in the neighbour hood of which a very powerful banditti were laid to have taken refuge in a rude but almoll inaeccf fible fort in the mountains. Somc of the Nizam's native troops accompanied the detachment within two cofs of the place, when they divided their forces, the latter hav;ng orders to march, under cover of the night, to the only defile by which the enemy could poffibly efcape, and there take their poll with fixed bayonets and a field-piece, while the Europcansfcalcd the orpofitc part of the moun tain, and !formed the fort. This plan appeared eafy in theory, but eifficult in praEtice. The march oftheEnropeanswas through a clear open country, but that of the natives was obliruaed by jungles and moratics; in conlcquet•.cc of which they had fome hours allowed them more than the former, in order that they might reach the places of defli nation at one and the fame p:riod : but unfortu nately, this extra time was not fit/Helene for the obteacics they had to furmount. The Englifb tronps arrived at the appointed hour, and conclu ding the place completely blockaded, gallantly fcalcd the acclivity, and atfailed the fort ; in which they were only interrupted 1w fome fiagritents of rock, rolled from the height, and a tingle volley of mufquetry, which, fortunately, did no farther damage than that of wounding two or three of them, who, on entering the fort, to their great mortification and furprize, found it completely evacuated, the enemy having made good their re treatat the oppofite defile, on the fit it onfct, which seas at leaft an hour before the arrival of the na tive detachment. Sr. fl6t.l44s.—Major COCKS, the Honourable Eafl-India Company's Engineer at St. Helena, writes very favourably relpeaing the fortifications and general defence of the Ifland. The foldiers Ilationed at the Alarm-houfe have orders to be very vigilant in making alarms on their brit dif. covering any (hips. This port riles in a gradual afcent from the valley to the diflanec of about three miles from the fort, from sylwace it c.m be catty dii . cerned with the naked eye. It is fin nithed with two nine:pounder guns. The lunation Kr.:: chofen for oblersiation is completely fortunate : it commands the whole Wand. in a bird's eye view. and feet around it the salt ocean. The men also are appointed to look 4: provided y. ith good glaffes to affift thcir fight., and, in a cl:ar Jay, can fee to the extremi,y of thr horizim. difc-ver ing one or two Nisi:, :4 tingle gun it tir.:d ; and if there be more than four !hips, fi guns ate charged, which what is t:rmed a general :o2: - rit, and a fignal for defence.
