LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IT is with the greatel concern that I feel mytelf at prefent under the neeeffity of withdrawing from the coutelt to fill the vacancy in the DireCtion of the Fait India Company . when the favourable reception which I hid met with on my can vet's, and the kind exertions of my friends had given me the molt flattering hopes of fuccefs. My perfonal difappointment I Mall endeavour to bear with fortitude ; hut I feel mach concerned that I fhould have given fo much trouble to the Proprietors in general, and particularly to thole who have fo kindly and elfedually ex erted thendelves in my favour. I have no doubt, however, that a few words will convinee you that I have Not put you to this inconvenience on light grounds, or without having every rearm to fuppofe I was duty qualified. It may therefore be nceeffary for me to Rate, how I have ►een init. led refpeaing my qualification, the alleged defect of which is the cattle of my declining the ballot. Illy one of your Bye-Laws, Chapter 6, Sedion It is or " &dried, That no perfon than be eleaed a Direder of this Com " puny, within two years after having held any Office in the Civil, " Military, ce Maritime fervice of the Company:* I returned from China in dos, and in the month of June ha that year my alp was entirely cleared of her cargo. I bad given up all intention of going to fez again; my pay ■ae obligation by charter•party eared to era, sod I have never fines received pay, or entered into any eharter•party, or other centred! to live the Company. I eashquenay conceived that from that time I had ecafed to be in your fervice. Is December 1803 t►e alp which I had commanded was taken up with others of the feafooony name vras given in by the owners as a matter of cootie; I was at a dittance front town, and igno rant of theta!, and the nip was appointed to a voyage, without any application on my part. On the aeth January, 1804, I gave in a refignation. I confidered this to be occeffary, in order to enable a Commander to be ap pointed so the alp ; but I bad no conception that a mere funnel ad could have eonnedtcd me with the fervice which I bad allfo lately telinquithed. I was much furprized when I was informed, that at the Court of Direaors on Friday lalt my qualification for a Diredtor was called in queftios ; and I was greatly mortified at learning that the objedtion was confidered by the-Court ass bar to. my relent pretentious. My refpeft for the Courtof Direetors, and for the individualswho campofe it, is too great to make me think of combating their opinion. In deference to that epistles, I retire from the pre f.ot ballot; at the fame drag I take the liberty to obferve, that I was not withetit reafon stifled, as It has am been the opinion of thole in yodr Naval Service, there Captain retires from the date of. the.IhiPASIPS clewed out. I have only to repeat my unfeigned thanks for your unprece dented erotism on my behalf, and my inure regret at the trouble I have given you ; and I fruit that the great and difintertit ed Ampere I have received will Mire my EL Etion at the Grit re cam which may occur after niy qualification is complete. 1 have the honour to be, Ladles and Gentlemen.

Nov. 26.—The evacuation of this city by the Bri tint troops, on the' 25th of November, 1783, after the termination of the revolutionary war, we, yeller day commemorated by the ufual manifellations of joy. On this occafion these was a fplendid difplay of the military. General Moreau has received a degree of marked attention from the city of New York, which does it much honour. An aid de camp of Major General Stevens ivas difpatched to him, at his feat, near Tre nton, with invitations to the review and entertain ment, and, on his arrival, he was met at Powlas Hook, by the officers cnmpofing the fuite of General Stevens, and the military Reif of the brigade of ar tillery. A barge, manned with foldiers from Fort Jay, conveyed the General to the city. Since his arrival. he has been waited on by the Mayor and principal civil and military officers. • General Moreau is entertained thisday, we under lland, by General Stevens, and in the evening will be prefent at Mr. Nicholas's concert. Tomorrow he dines with General Ray. the French Canto'. and in tends, it is hkid, honouring the reprefentations of the theatre with his prefence in the evening. Nov. 29.—A letter from St. Pierre's (Mart.) slat• ed the tlt inR. fays, " We have pill heard that the town of St. Lucia is burnt down." . Several members of Con refs from the eattward, (fays The Philadelphia Prue American), have reached this city, on their way to the feat of Govern ment. It is probable. from the interefting nature of the prefent junaure of our foreign relations, that the bufinefs of the Legiflature will commence on the SIR day of the feffion, a quorum being likely to affemble. EXTRACT 07 A LETTER FROM ALCM, DATED JULY 28, 2 Bos. " In my lag I mentioned the murder of the great Jew, Bufnach, by a Turkifis foldier, in this city, on the 13th ult. The next day the foldiers rofe in a body, killed every Jew they met with, and plundered their houfes. From that time to this, the city has been in a perfeft Rate of rebellion—the fathers Pet ting the Dey and all authority at defiance. To add to this Rate of wretchednefs, the whole country of Moors (from Fremefen to Conftantine). have rifcn up in arms againll the Turks, being determined to flake off their yoke. " The city of Fremefen has long finee been taken by the Moorith army, and accounts Rate, that Oran cannot hold out much longer, being out of provi (ions, and deprived of the neceffary tupply of water. Every veffel that goes there, the Dey detains, to be ready to take off the Turks when they can hold out no longer. 66 The city of Algiers has given Oran a partial raid, at times, with grain ' • but can do no more for the prefent, as the want of that attide here, is the fource of the greatell troubles. Nothing of the pro vifion kind can be had from the neighbourhood of the city of Algiers, as the Moors are all in arms, waiting the fate of Oran ; after which, it is beyond doubt, they will turn their whole force to this place —therefore all the grain that can be found near the city, is conveyed in by orders of the Dey. The Turkith foldiers, to a man, left their barracks. the asth infiant, and marched out of town, contrary to the orders of the Dey, where they held a fecret conference of three hours, and then returned to town again. " On the :7th inftant, the foldiers, as before, held another conference ; the refult is unknown ; but the Dey, Divan s &c. are in the greatell alarm for their own fafety, and are conftantly in feffion at the palace. 4 , It is conjeaured the foldiery intend to &limy the prefent Government, in confequence of the Dey „having ltrangled two principal Turkifh foldiers, for outrages committed on the Jews, and create a new fct of rulers. The conduit of the Dey, Eitc. blithe; this idea in the firongeft point of view, as they h:.ve taken great care of themfelves, by doubling the palace guards, &c. and doling all the ftreet gam at funfet—thefe arc never (hut, but in times of real danger ; the city gates are always fbut at dark— but thefe precautions will not anfwer the end intend ed. Deftruaion is on the wing. Thus, Sir, you may fee what Algiers is at prefent ; befet within and without by her own fubjeas ; it is fuppofed a thou time will - bring to pats fuch a fcene of horror, as is unknown even in hiftory." lITRACT VI • LETTER FROM GTHIALT•IO DATED strrsuissa 9,1805. " By our accounts from Alicant, I find that fix new Dcys were fucceffively maffacred at Algiers ; alto the Jew►, Becary and Boffinaco, their families, and other principal Jews. They wanted to proclaim the Mical Hage as a leventh Dey, but be made his efcape, and got to Alieant." szva•cT OF A LETTER IRON AN OFFICER ON HOARD THE NAUTILUS, DATED GIIIALLTAIt NAT, SEPT. 20. " I, at this time, belong to the (ebonite: Nautilus, which fchooner was fent with difpatches from Tunis to Algiers. A few days before our arrival at Algiers, the Dey was put to death by the foldiers; the Prime Manilla, the Secretary, and Hean, King of the Jews —which Jew was in poffeffion cf eighteen millions of ' money. The way in which thefe perfons were put to death, would be too tedious to de tribe. 1 faw the Secretary hanging ; he was eafed down on a large iron pike, which run up his body, with a rope round his neck ; in which fituation be was to remain three days. 4n our arrival, they fired a falute of at guns, which was immediately anfwered by the fchooner, 'and, is a thort,time, we received a versa% of three bullocks, 4ve fheep, fruits, bread, eggs, and vegeta bles of all defcriptions, natural to the country.— There are many merchant grips, from America, in this % pgrt, condemned it this time."

We have jolt received a letter from our Corre (pendent in the Wet Indies, dated Barbadoes, the loth of November. We are extremely happy to learn that the mortali ty and the ficknefs have perfeetly flopped in that Ifland. The troops at Barbadoes are now in a molt healthy Rate. Since March laft, when they landed on the ifland, the 15th regiment loft t t officers, 280 men, and 6o women at Barbadoes. The 96th regiment came oat at the fame time with the 15th ; their lots at Antigua has been only five officers and 160 privates. At Grenada the both regiment continues to lofe many officers and men, as does the 9oth regiment at the itland of St. Vincent's. The troops at Trinidad and the other iflands con tinue very healthy. c AFRICA. We have been Sewn a letter from Corte, 'it is dated the 25th of November, and it announces the welcome intelligence that the Garrifon and Settlers are in a molt healthy Rate. The Royal African corps has loft no Officer fince lag feafon, when the Affitkant Surgeon died. His Majeßy'sthips on the Ration are nearly as healthy as the Garrifon of Goree; the Arab and Favourite had' jug arrived. The Arab ent out feveral (mall veffels from the Hands, as the went along the coati : the took one very rich prize at yea, a Portugnefe vele', with gold images for the cborches s and a con fi derable quantity of gold, in bar—the had been taken by a French privateer two months before, and the had i French prise•maßer on board, when Captain MIXWILL was fo very fortunate as to fall in' with her.—The Royal African corps is now com manded by the Major at Goree, Col. nasal' being appointed to the Staff in the Well Indies. A letter dated the 23d of November Pays — "' The Hass frigate, and the Favottarrs and ARAB Coops of war, were lately here ; the latter Otip is Rationed here, fo that we may exiled a clear coalt." EAST INDIES. By letters received from Bombay by the left Mips we learn, that the China voyage of the flips lately arrived there has this year proved particularly advan tageous. Sugar was dear and fcarce, owing to the failure of that crop in many parts of the country, and little of that article has been purchafed. Cotton and opium fold at great prices. It may aford Come con fnlation to thofe political economilis who foretold that China would fpeedily (wallow up the greateß part of the fpecie of the Weft, to learn, that this year very great quantities of fpecie, both in Myer and gold, have been brought from Canton. The truth is, that formerly we had few commodities to fend the Chinefe which they wanted, and the balance 'visit us was obliged to be difcharged in hard caul. The great increafe of the cotton and opium trade, with the di minilbed quantity of fugar purchafed, has produced a confiderable change, and this feafon has turned the balance in favour of foreign merchants. Should a fimilar circumftance continue to operate for any length of time, it might perhaps produce a further diminution in the value of the precious metals in Europe. FROM THS CEYLON GAZETTE. MARCH 6. Intelligence having been received, that the enemy was collating in force at Ronnie apd in its neigh bourhood, Major Du MN, of his Majefty's Si ft regi ment, was difpatthed to that place, on Saturday the 22d ult, with a force, confiding of ago firelocks, whiz a proportion of artillery. Brigade Major Coseattooc. of the Royal Artillery drew up the river ; at the fame time two gut, boats, carrying the one a five and a half inch howitzer, and the other a three-pounder. The Commander of the Forces being defirous to fee that part of the frontier, left Columbo, attended by his Staff, on Monday morning, the t sth ult. and joined Major Dualsx's detachment, at Sellawack, on the 24th ult. That detachment reachedßooanellee without oppcs fition, on the 25th ult. and the gun beats, without any moleftation from the enemy, confider able impe diments from the lownefs of the water in the river, on the 26th, at night. The Candians had already evacuated Rooanellee. and fallen back to the mountains, between that place and Candy; but Major Duke's, by a night march, fucceected in furpriling an advanced poft ofthe enemy at the diftance of about ten miles from Rooanellee. Mr. Ewalt, Governor of Fort Marlborough, was expelled to be recalled from that fettlement, when the latl (hips left that as Mr. PARRY, a civil fer. vane on the Bengal eflablifhment, had, it was repott ed, been appointed to that Ration. The fpicc plantations at Foi t Marlborough, by the lateft accounts, were in a high date of cultivation and luxuriance ; and it was expelled, that in two years at fartheß, there would be a fufficient quantity of nut.' mega, &c. in perfeition, to export from thence to this country, which might in fold at a very moderate price, aad prevent fo neceffary an article from being mono. polized by foreigners, with a view of enhancing its value; in cafe the Banda iflands thould ever be con tinued in poffeffion of the Dutch. The objea of the expedition being thus anfwered, by driving the enemy from our frontiers. the army returned, without any lots, to Columba, on the ad init. and we uud, from the excellent case taken of the foldiers, and their healthy appearance. that few of them will Infer from the fever, which is preva lent at this feafon in the interior of the country, but not by any means with die fun vivkam u in the two lalt years.

In our Paper of Saturday we anted our opinion 1. , that the Argo': Newfpaper, found in the open 'boat drifted out of Boulogne and forwarded to Govern ment, containing an account of an Armillice having been concluded between the Emperors Faracts and Navossos, was really what it profeiled to be, and not a forgery as many of our contemporaries main tained. By French and Dutch papers received yeßerday by Government, the former' to the 19th and the latter to the 24th inftant, the opinion we gave is proved to have been corral. The 3oth and 31R Bulletin given in the Argo:, are aaually found in the Moniteur ; and in the fame journal publithed on the 18th inR. is inferted the 3sd Bulletin and a copy of THE ARMISTICE. It was figned on the part of Auftria by Prince Ltorressrats, and on the part of France by Genes ral Brarazaa. It is dated the 4th, and on the face of it appears, to have been agreed upon by the Emperors of Gea• MANI and Titmice in perfon. The French army is to proferve its poritions in ADC. iris, is the Tyrol, in Carinthia, in Bohemia, in Hungary, Sm. &c. The Ruffian army is to retire by a route•and by marches to be pointed out to them, beyond Alibis* Poland in fifteen days, and Galicia in a month. The Marian Government is Nit to make any levy of troops in Bohemia or in Hungary. The Armiltice is to continue till the concluGon of a feparate Peace between Maria and France, or till the rupture of the pegociations now carrying on to that effett. Fifteen days notice !ball be given of the detervinv tion of either party to break the Armiftice. Such is the fubßance of the Artniflice—All tht other details, though they may gratify the cutiofity of thole who can be gratified with trines. even when threatened with the molt imminent danger.
