EACT- /ES. By the late overland difj,ateli there are letters flaring thnt in November lad leveral of the Vef f.wees, the friends and adherents of Jugganant 1)eo, has e recommenced their depredations in the 13omnlee dedroying whole villages, and puuing the inhabitants, without difcrimination, w, They have experienced tome repiilles from the detncbments of Sqloys ftationed thr the de fence of the Ryms, and have in eprdequtnce of their barbarity been denied quarter. The Collet:les are in a date far from tranquil, and a body of troops are collecting to aft as occa lion may require. The &poled Poligar of Comaraveddy, who had been confined at Vellcre on fillpicion of maintain lag an hostile correlpondence with tome dilatfedled Chiefs on the Myfore frontiers, and who was af fociating fur the purpofe of fubverting the Bridal government, has efcaped from prifon by the afria ance of fome of his friends who were permitted to vitit him, and it is believed he has joined the rebel army of the late Poligar of Joomacootra, who has overrun the Polams and committed confider able ravages. The late impolitic conduit of the Nabob of the Carnatic has produced fome very ferious diflurb ances throughout his dominions. The communi cation wilt the interior has been much impeded, and fume (dour merchants and traders have been lubjeft to conliderable injury. Some new arrangements, adapted to our im- , proved intercourfe with the Mahrattas, have been made in our ellablifhments at the Court of Poonah. Arrangements of an extenfive nature are mak ing at Bencoolen. Mr. Dunlop has been appoint ed Miller Attendant at Fort Marlborough. In consequence of the extended intercourfe with Ava, which has refulted from Captain Symes's million to the Court of Urmarapoor ; fome of our merchants travelled into the interior, and amongft other objeels have difcovered fprings of a mineral guhriance, Ilrongly refembling oil, which after an cif) , preparation, is rendered competent to molt of the purpofes to which oil in India is ufnally appli cable ; it is produced in vaft quantities, and is in much requelt at our markets. _ . _ The e;portation of opium from the Company's territories to China, has been of late ltriftly prohi bited ; the natives however, carry on an illicit trade to a great extent, notwithftanding the fevere penalties to which it is liable. EGYPT. An Officer in the fuite of General KOrtiLER, who WAS fent from Jaffa to procure fome part of • les, entrenching-tools, &c. fin-nailed by the '• during the liege of Acre, writes as fol- Ghezzar is now in avowed hoßility to te. He is fortifying Acre by a madive _mated wall ontfide of the old ditch, and a very broad deep moat, into which he intends in troducing the fea, under arches built for the pur pole, to circulate round the city. He employs between four and five thoufand men on this flu penduous work, which, however, cannot befinifhed l before April or May, and which, in its prcfent date, prellnts facilities rather than obflacles to, an enemy. He ilfues daily rations for 20,000 men, but, tiorn the bell information I could obtain, the Albanian Chiefs deceive the old man, and do not ' I keep more than 12 or t 3,000 ; there, however, are tolerably well difciplined, and are regularly paid; each man receives about 25 piallers per month. The workmen on the new fortifications receive from ten to fifteen parts per day each, and infpire each other with energy by tinging in chorus to the praife of their empioyer.—l was witnefs to this Pr ne cuact, and to its comma; about 150 wo men weeping and wailing at the gate of the town, Gil account of fome cruelty (the particulars of which I could not learn), exercifed on their haf t:a:ids by the l'acha.—l had occafion to mention Sultan Selim, and the Supreme Vizier, when he flu,ke of them with rage and obloquy. He has given up two or three old guns, but refuted to make compenfation for the 1411." Le:tcrsfioni Jaffa, it is laic!, date that the entire camp, not excepting the General (KoEHLEK), had been ill, and for the greater part continued fo. The Grand Vizier had 101 l upwards of eight hundred Man:clucks and a principal Bey by the plague; his whole force was under 10,000 men. His levies from Albania were very hardy, and although he profcifi.d to expeEl an immediate re inforcement of 75,000 men, he fcarcely ever re ceived a fupply of more than two or three hundred at a time. The application which the Vizier made for the afliflance of a Britifh army to aid in difpoffefting th , French of Egypt, amongft other revired that this army fhould be placed under his c0mm.4,13, and that it ihnuld retire from Egypt i•orpcdiately .ts its fub . ingation was elfeeted.—'The thott o ht scot) Britilh troops competent to fersice, and limited his requeft to th tt num- Kotucrv, by means of• pigmy batta iilted on fenall pieces of wood, labours to ' , c Turks in tattles, and by this mcchani- Iration, b-is done more towards per .hem of the fuperiority of difcipline than .gifted by the praCtical !dims KLEBLR gave rt - sl . 4:tis army in the plains of Ezralon, or . fucceflivc field d.,y, at which the Turk, prcfent at Aboukir, Damietta, and El i: ..k ••rial KOEHLER retains his flaff no:withfland torival of Sir RALPH ABERCROMBIE ; he • ••• in fortifying Jaffa as a depot of times • 'lions, and as a point de raMainent in the • Jefe.tt.

I.Ary had n.titi•ited to Jaffa from El • 11'2 foititicatinns of which, with very con .. r, he had 1) - 2en tent to firengthen. iL DICKELTOti, viii:,l2aci arrived off yria, had, it is Rated, been lent with four fail of the line to cruize off Alexandria, to intercept the con voy which was known to Lc in prepar.aion at Tou lea far Egypt. Sir SYDN EY SMITH'S rquadron, confiiling of the TIGRE, PENELOPE, Trk MAGA NT, PETTEREL, and Citoxt. cutter, was at Rhodes in November !aft; when Capt. M.otrix, in the NORT HUMBER LIND, was Rated to be on the Egyptian coati. Should Lord KE IT II be apprifed of the approach of GaN- TlltAe?lt, he poireires a rquadron fully competent to intercept him ; but thould he unfortunately be uninformed of the enemy's approach, our greateß probable force off Alexandria mull pro‘ e unequal to oppore him. One hundred and fifty of the crew of the TIGRE, including her dignified Commander, were ill while at Rhodes, of fevers and agues—we are happy in beinfr able to announce their recovery. Mr. SP lIRING, the Englith Architea at Rhodes, has built, at that ifland, a brig named the Con fiance, to mount 22 eighteen-pounders, and at the date of our letters the was about to fail for Con fiantinople. FRANCE. STRASBURGH, FEBRUARY 27. The Emperor has already ratified the treaty of peace. He has officially communicated it to the Diet of Ratifbonne. The principal Commiffary, the Count de la TOUR and Taxis, and the Impe rial Commiffary, have travelled with great expe dition from Vienna to Ratithonne. The chief fit ting of the Diet was to take place as yefterday. A courier extraordinary arrived from Paris, has brought orders for the immediate demolition of the forts and fortrelfes on the right bank of the Rhine, viz. Kehl, Old Brifach, Phillipfburgh, Caffel, Ehrenbreithein, and Duffeldorf. The work was inflantly begun, and fuch aairity has been difplayed at Kehl, that the fortrcfs will foon be completely razed. The (mall town of Kehi, which had been burned down during the war, fo as that no trace of it now remains, will then be rebuilt. PARIS, MARCH s. Government have this year cloathed above 40,000 prifoners of war. It is Rated, in letters from the Banks of the Rhine, that in confequence of the meafures taken by the French and Helllan troops, Wateravia and Wefterwald have been cleared of the brigands, who have for fome time infefled thefe countries. The combined troops are now employed in fearching the forells and mountains which afforded the bri gands an afylum.—There is reafon to hope that in a Ilion time this dehruetive horde will be com pletely extirpated. It is hated pofitively that the KING of NA►LES has unit his ports againft the Englilh and laid an embargo upon their !hipping. The fquairon of Admiral GANTHEAV ME has feized five or fix veffels ; among others, one con. taining 180 women, on the road from Malta to Port Mahon, belonging to the foldiers in Sir RALPH ABERCROMBY'S army. Extra& from feveral letters found on board the Englifh brig, the St. John, captured in the Medi terranean, by the French privateer le Lion : FROM LORD KEITH, DATED DECEMBER 17, ON BOARD THE FOUDROYANT, TO MR. PERKIN MAGRA, ENGLISH CONSUL AT TUNIS. Lord KEITH requefts the Conful to inform the Bey, that the Ports of Marfeilles, Toulon, and Nice, continue to be in a Elate of blockade ; all (hips going in or out will be conficcated : that an Englith Iquadron is Rationed before Barcelona, which will (hut up the entrance of it againtt all (hips laden with grain or any other provifions; and that as long as the French (hall hold Leghorn, the Erglifh frigates anchored in the Road, (hall pre vent all communication with the place. Lord KEITH has no doubt, that the BEY will inform his fubjeds of this, and will feverely puni(h all who negled to notice it." EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM TORT MAHON, TO MR. P. MAGRA, DATED DEC. 18. _ _ ,‘ On the reprefentation of the Magiftrates of Port Mahon, that the Bland is in want of corn, and that a Minorcan vat.' having returned empty from the Levant, is to go from Malta to Tunis, in order to get corn ; the Conful is requefted to obtain permiflion of te Bey of Tunis to export the neceffary quantity. Extra& of four Letters from Mr. P. MAGRA, dated from Malta, the 18th and ssd December, and sth and 6th January, to Mr. HENRY CLARKE, the Britifh Charge d' Ajizira at Tunis : Mr. CLARKE is informed in the fir ft , " That Lord KEITH and Sir RALPH AISFR CROMIIy, commanding the Britilh forces in the Mediterranean, recommend to iiim extraordinary vigilance with refpe& to the States of Barbary, as far as relates to their conduit towards the French, both in furnilhing them with Provifions, and in facilitating their communication with Egypt." in the fecond, Mr. CLARKS is informed, a That K Lord _KITH and Sir R. ABERCROMBY had failed on the preceding evening (2 ft Deem- Ler), from Malta, with 8o (hips of war, having troops on board ; that previoufly to their depar ture, another divilion ' under the orders of Sir RICHARD BICKERTON,had appeared off the Ifland, on its road to the fame deflination ; and that ano ther atmy had been difpatehed for Egypt to ael in concurrence with it, which it was even Rated, had already arrived," fo that, adds the Conful MAG it A, " Egypt will, ere long, be reflored to the Porte." In this Letter he announces, that tome Light Cavalry had arrived, which was about to proceed lo join the army: and, by way of pollfcript, he fays, that the French have evacuated the whole of Tufcany, ith the exception of Leghorn, which he hopes alfu will foon be evacuated." - Mr. CLARKE is requJled to obtain permillion of the Bey of Tunis, to fend a cargo of wheat to Malta, and of oxen to Malta. The Cnnful MAGRA, in his Letter of the 6th January, expreffes to Mr. CLARKE his afßielion at hearing, that the BET had ref - tired provifions for Minorca, which he confiders as very impolitic on the part of his Excellency, at a moment when he lay under the fufpicion of having concluded a truce with the French. He hopes, however, that the !hips which he fends back again, will not re turn empty- He mentions a letter from Loid K E ITH to the fame BEY, of which he defires to know the contents. FROM THE PARIS PAPERS. VIENNA, FEB. t 6.—The Court has received the Treaty concluded at Luneville. This agreeable news has been publithed here, but without any fo lernity of form. It is probable that it will not be proclaimed till the ratifications are exchanged.— We can now (late, that M. the Baron de Tu octal- has entirely withdrawn from public affairs. He has even refined the adminiftration of the Italian provinces committed to his care. He is about to quit the capital in order to go and live at Cracow. He has already taken leave. The news of peace leaves no room for attention to this event, which excites no emotion. The Emperor has appointed his brother, the Archduke JOHN, Direelor Gene ral of the Artillery, with the affillance of the two Generals TROON and De VA UX. The Archduke CHARLES has fent extraordinary couriers with inftruelions for the Commandants of Eaftern Gal licia, Hungary Proper, and Croatia. It is thought that they relate to the march of the Ruffians. Let ters from the Greek merchants of Moldavia and Wallachia, !late that thefe troops continue their march along the frontiers of European Turkey. FEB. 17.—Lord Mum) continues to affert that the Englifh have effetted a debarkation in Egypt without °Made ; bat he adds, without doubt, to , give more credit to the news, that they have been rcpulfed from the interior, whither they had pene trated. We muff then believe that the defcent has been effected by another divifion than that which was at the end of December, at the Bay of Makri. FEE. 18.—The Note relative to the peace of the Empire was font on the loth to all the Am. baffadors and Chargé d'Affaires of the Rates of the Empire. It is not to be doubted but that the fyf tern of fecularization will be adopted anew, in order to procure indemnifications. Count COZEN-1-- z EL has fcnt a long memorial on the fecularizations and indemnities. The plan has been approved of by the Emperor, and fent to Luneville. FRANCK FORT, FEB. 24.—Letters from Moravia confirm the news that a fpeedy infurredion is threatened in Servia by the Chrillian inhabitants of that province, wbo are extremely difcontented with the Porte. The fevere and cruel charader of the Paella of Belgrade has inflamed this difpofi tion—A general infurreCtion of tie inhabitants of Turkey in Europe, which may be the more rapid, that it may be connefted with the rebellion of PAsswAN OGLOU. BAMBERG, FEB. 23.—Various plans of indem nities and arrangements are circulated. That which the Gazettes of Franconia give molt credit to imports that the whole of that circle is defined for the Grand Duke of Tufcany, and that the King of Pruffia willbe indemnified for the ceffion of the Margraviate of Anfpach and Bareuth by Hanover, the Bilhopric of Ofnaburgh, Hamburgh, Lubeck, &c. However, thefe are only conjeetures, and it is probable that nothing is yet definitively fettled between the principal powers upon the general plan of indemnities. Some perfons, who have the means of being well informed, allure us that Hamburgh will preferve its independence. BERLIN, FE e. 3.—The following details tranf pired here yellerday : M. d'Havowirz yeller day received a vilit from the Hanoverian En voy, who muff doubtlefs have been fent to the Prullian Minitler by Lord CARYSEORT, in order to found him refpdting the projeas of his Go verntnent. He adverted to the diftinetion that fubfifts between Great Britain and Hanover ; to the fate that may eventually await that Eleflorate, which, by palling into the hands of one of the fons of the KING of ENGLAND, might form an in dependent State ; to the forbearance of that Elec torate to intermeddle in the ezifting difputes ; and, finally, to the refolution taken by the Hanoverian Government to hold itfelf wholly aloof from them. To thefe obfervations the Prufilan Minifter thus replied : That as his Britannic Mikity adopted by lea whatever meafures he thought proper, fo the Continental Powers imagined themfelves en. titled to ad in a fimilar manner with regard to their territories." The , enor of the anfwer made by Mr. Ros-ror- SIN to Lord GRENVILLE is, that " as the Court of London has afted with ill faith towards Ruffia, his IMPERIAL MAJESTY laid an embargo on the Englifh fhipping, and that he Ihould continue that embargo until Malta was reflored to the Order of Sr. JOHN : that there (hips, and the feamen be longing to them, have been put in a place of fumy: that the wants of the prifoners (hall be fupplied ; and that the agent Scow' 3T (hall be fent back as not being wanted ; and, finally, that Enisland Ihould entertain no hopes of renewing her inter courfe with Rulfla until Malta Ihall be reftored." The KING of PRUSSIA laid a few days ago in the rnielit of his Court, England has gone too great lengths; it is time that this comedy were concluded ; the Englifh have difcovered their perfidy; the moment has at length arrived for bringing them to their fenfes..—Maiiihur. MINDEN, FAB. is believed that the occu pation of Bremen, Hamburgh, and the Electorate of Hanover, depends on the anfwer from the Bri. Oh Cabinet to the late Note of his Priiiiian Ma jelly. A corps of troops from the interior of Pruf fia are on their march ; its force is not exactly af certained. WssEL, FEB. 22.—The army of infurrettion in Tranfylvania, under the orders of Baron de KisN MAYIR, and which, with the Hungarian levie', is approaching the Turkifh frontiers, es raid, in a let ter frum Strafburgh, of February 26, to have for its objeet the expulfion of the Turks from E uro p e . The French army, for the purpofe of better fub faience, had, notwithftanding the figning of peace, advanced to St. Pzltcn, within ten leagues of Vienna.

The Pi ince Krcrsv, nth on the point of letting out for a party of ph ordered his attendants to defer their pr , :pari, and upon reading the difpatehes br.aTlit h , courier, he ordered a Council of State to be .: diately funimoned, at the dole of which a co extraordinary was dilpatchtd to Madrid. It is that the math of this Council was, that a for.l tion be addieffed to his Catholic Majdly, coal; him to exert his belt endeavours to procure for Court of Litho') a Iliort refpite, cf which it Rani. in the utmoit need. It is true, indeed, that th Court of Portugal is now placed in the molt strs - ing dilemma : threatened by land with an att.:CF.. which it has no means of refiflin? ; if it yid& ro the demands of thole ContinentarPowers, it mutt have every thing to dread by lea. It has in Eng. land a large convoy of merchant vellels, the cal - goes of which are already p a id ; i t expe a s b e fi L k s, from the Brazils, a very numerous and rich con. voy. If therefore it yields to France, the convoy in England will have an embargo laid on it ; it has likewife to tremble for her Brazil convoy, England denounces all her refentment againit the Portugueze, lhould they attempt to negotiate without her confent. PETERSBURGN, DEC. 26.—The Northern Con vention ratified by his IMPERIAL MAJESTY of all the Ruffias We Nue.
