At Dominica 16 officers and isis privates oT the 68th regiment were buried in ate (pace of one month : nor were the inhabitants fp:teed. Five Scots Gentlemen that had arrived in the packet immediately preceding the Auck land, had all died previous to her arrival-there. A Gentleman informed them, ihat during one day that he was at Fort' Royal, Martinique, three of ficers and eleven privates were buried : yet in Tome other of the Leeward Iflands the inhabitants were healthy."

TO-morrow the prifoners in the feveral gaols in 'London and.Middlefex will be removed to New gate, in order to take their trials at the milting feßions at the Old Bailey, which commence on Wednefday next. Sunday morning, between one and two o'clock, I a fire broke out in A tin-fhoy, behind the Neptune's Coffee-houfe' Liverpool, and under the office o f Mr. Fergufon, printer, both of which premifes were totally deftroyed, though we arc happy to fay ivithobt communicating to the !tables of the Black Horfe and Rainbow, which immediately adjoined.

In my lull letter 'I detailed the particulars oldie defeat of our troops at Pandalamcourchy, and as it has proved one of the molt gallant, thaugh fatal (in the lots of officers and men), 1 (hall commence with an account of what has happened fence at that place. I believe I told you that Lieutenant- Colonel Aar; sw, Adjutant-General on the Coati, was ordered to proceed and take command of the troops on that fervice, which he accordingly did, and being reinforced by his Majefty's 77th Regi ment, two Companies of Artillery, fome batta lions of Sepoys, &c. he proceeded to attack the place a fecond time. Having erected his batteries, which mounted two eighteen, two twelve, and fear howitzers, he battered in breach for a whole day, and determined not to fail from the fame caul, as had occafioned the failure before (the imprailica bility of a breach), he waited for the neat day to attack, when he again opened his gnns on the breach till twelve o'clock : be then affitillted the place in ,the following order ;—The two Flank Companies of the 77th led, then the remains ,of the two unfortunate Companies of the 74th, and three Battalion Companies of the 77th, followed by all the Flank Companies of the Sepoys Corps prefent. They advanced to the breach in ordinary time, under a very heavy fire on both their - flanks. On reaching the breach, the enemy were fo nu merous, and armed with fpears frman zo feet and upwards in length, that they found it neceilary to draw up in line and commence a regular fire of mniketry, which was kept up fo well for fifteen minutes that the enemy at lati broke, and the par ty entered, after lofing three Lieutenants killed, feveral officers Wounded, and the number of men killed and wounded-about 180. A great {laugh ter enfued ; but a large body of the enemy efcaped. out on the oppoflte fide of the fort only to be cut up by the cavalry, which were Rationed round for that purpofe. lam forry to inform you that one of the Lieutenants who fell on this occafion was nephew to General Haim s, kis name GILCHRIsT, a very fine young man, and was the only officer who efcaped being killed or wounded ort the for. mer bufinefs. The troubles have not ended with that. A powerful Polygar, taking couracro from the temporary defeat we firft fultained, has taken up arms. Colonel Aowaw is now employed again him • and we hear that in one fmart fkirm iTh be has loft a Major GREY aad fume other Officers of the Company's fervice. Further information rays that he finds the enemy fo numerous as to demand A reinforcement, and that the communication be tween that detachment and Madras is cut off. You muff underltand that Polygars are a race of people who inhabit the jangles and hill parts of India ; they are braver than the generality of Indians, and cannot be (aid ever to have been conquered. Another over-land difpatch was received at the India Houle, on Thurfday. By this conveyance we learn, that a very coufiderable body of the Panjalum Cauchy Poligar's troops, after the far render of the fort, .defeended into the plains of Tinnevilly, where they were oppofed by nearly an equal number of Colonel AGNEW'S forces.— The former confined chiefly of pikemen, who, finding their retreat into the jungles cut off, by a line drawn from north to fouth, and flanked by heavy artillery, endeavoured to force a pats in fete of cannon loaded with grape, and, concen trating their force to that particular point, are flitted to have performed prodigies of valour. The Sock was fu Rained by the Brasil and Sepoys with their accultomed bravery, and in the iffue.the ene my were routed, leaving the face of the country for feveral cofs covered - with their (lain. An of ficer who was in this engagement, and who has had many years experience in Indian warfare, declares that he never witneffed a conflia fo arduoufly centefted. By the Intl advices from Bombay we learn the fatal event of a duel there, between Mr. F. and a Lieutenant B. The former was (hot through the heart the firli fire. The furvivor has been fen tenced, by Sir WILLIAM SAVER, to Botany Bay for fourteen, and his fecond, Captain it. for (even years. Sr. HELINA.—The Government of the bland of St. Helena have eftablifhed a fignal poft of much importance on the fummit of Ladder Hill, for the purpofe of affording intelligence. When an alarm is made of a fleet of (hips being in fight, this Ration becomes of confequence. From the conveniency of the fituauon whereon the poll is eredted, and the command it poffeffes of the windward fide of 'the ifland, the people refilling in the valley, and other parts of the fettlemen:, are informed of the exact number of (hips, as they appear in fight from the extremity of the horizon. For this purpofe the poft is ereaed in the form of a crofs, from the arms of which the perfons ap pointed to look out fufpend large balls of the fize of a bomb-then ; for intlance, 4 tingle fhip is de. fcribed by a fingle ball, and fo on for as many more as may be feen to approach the Ifland. In former times, when Governor ScorrcAve refided at St. Helena, a flag tired to be hoifted about half way up the rock, called by the natives the ig Half ' way Houle," which merely denoted a fhip or fleet aterigg for the Ifland, without expreffing the num ber. Asibon as a yetrel rails anchor in the bay,ffite falutes the fort with nine guns, which is immediate ly returned ; but if one of his Majefty's (hips calls anchor theefort filmes &11, which is an inva. 'ruble etiquette in the fervice. A battery is (rates; on purpofe for falutes, cn a platform before the front of the Governor's Cattle. called the Mount, facing the main line, which coedit of 21 nine or twelve pounders. The guns on the line are neva tfifcharged but on the days of exercife. This ex. cellent fortification contains very heavy pieces of 'ordnance, being thirty-two pounders, in sh e f ase of the bay. . 1. , a e, I t. -
