Colonel WELLESLEY has taken the field with an army, again(} an Adventurer named DCONDEAH WING, who has collefted a vail number of fol lowers, principally cavalry, and committed depre dations on the boundary of our newly-acquired territory of Soondah. DOONDIAH, on the 29th of June, engaged tind completely routed a body of the Pefhwa s troops, under Doomris PUNT GOLDA the latter fled, and took refuge under the walls of our fort of Halli • hall, in Suondah. DOONDEAH came fo near in the purfuit, as to make it neceffary for the guns to open on him, which faun checked him. Juft as this fcene was aeting, an officer, with a fmall ef con of fepoys, was conveying cash from hence for the ufe of the garrifon of HZlihall, and got fafe into the place, when it was nearly furrounded by the enemy's honk. Door+ DEAN is Rill in the neigh bourhood of Hallihall, but keeps at a refpeftful diftance from the guns: Colonel WELLESLIT is hourly expeded in that neighbourhood. Hallihall is about eighty miles from hence, above the Ghants, and is garrifoned principally with native Sepoys fent from hence. I have no fears for it, though DOODDIAH has not lets than ao,ooo men in the neighbourhood. A circumftance of an extraordinary nature has lately taken place in the Southward. A party of , Kanarefe recruits, principally compofed of men formerly in Tit voo's fervice, deferted in one night from Mangalore to the number of 300, with a difaffeeledliavildar at their head, made their way to the hill fort of Jemaulabad (s place which had coil much time and trouble, and fome lives to our pcople, to get pact:lion of) furprized the garri fon, murdered the Officer commanding (Lieute nant ALLEN, of the Honourable Company's ter vice), and took poffeffion of the place, which, in fpite of an army fent again& them, under the com mand of Lieut. Colonel CUMINI, of the 75th re giment, who had with him a mortars, and a train of artillery, they kept from the 17th of April to the r9th of June, when it was retaken • but not till a ft er the garrifon, all but four men, had made their efcape. Preparations are making at Madras for the em barkation of troops. The rzth regithent, and Come , native battalions, are ordered to hold ancelves in readinefs for fcrvice, and it is rumoured that an expedition again ft B atavia ancfManilla is about to take place. under the command of Sir JANIS CRAIG.

THE RUSSIAN NAVY. The three principal Rations for the Ruffian navy are Cronfladt, Revel, and Archangel. In general the Ru ffi an !hips are exceedingly bad, owing per haps to the bad quality of the wood, and the mode in which they are conftruaed. However this may be, it is certain that they never laft above twelve years. It is not improbable that the frefhnefs of the water in the Baltic, and particularly in the harbour of Cronftadt, may contribute to render their duration fo fhort. Thofe built at Archangel are conftruaed of fir, and confequently Rill worfe —they coil only about three-eighths of what thofe do which are built at Peterlburgh. Thopßuffian navy is fillrin its infancy, if we compare it with the Englilh or even the French, and the Danifh. It appears formidable in point of number, and indeed would be fo, were not the Ruffians far behind other nations in regard to na• val taaies, as they are in many other things. The gradual increafe of the Ruffian navy will be feen by the following lift of it, as it Rood in the year 179 t. This lift does not include that divifion of it in the Black Sea, which in the above ' year confifted of 17 (hips of the line, and a confi demble number of frigates, hoops, &c. In the year 1779 the Ruffian navy confifted of I 38 !hips of the line, 16 frigates, and a proportional number of Smaller veffels. In the year 1786 it ' amounted' to 41 !hips of the line and 26 frigates. . In 1791 it was as follows: SHIPS OF THE LINE. Hama. Guns. Where lying St. Nicholas, . 110 Cronftadt.
