TO JOHN CHAUNIER, ISQ CHIEF SECRLTARY TO THE GOVIEHMENT, FORT ST. 050105. Sin—l have great fatisfadion in reporting, for the information of the Right Hon. the Governor in Council, the following particulars relative to the operations againft Timakull, which have hap pily terminated in the fall of the fort, and chaf tihment of its rebel defenders.—lmmediately after the affair of the zoth ultimo, I detached Major &TEACHES, Captain NOBLE, and Mr. Deputy Com milTary Bt sr,to Gooty, to prepare filch heavy guns as the place afforded. On a minute infpedion, only one iron twelve, one iron and one brats 9 -pounder, I were found fit for our purpofe. By the ftrenuous exertions of the garrifon, thefe guns were brought down from the rock, and 250 rounds of ammuni. Lion for each, with carriages, and the articles neceirary to keep them in order, were got ready ; and with this fupply the Major and party strived in camp on the 26th. Fafcines and gabions had been made here ; and in the night of the 29th, a battery for fix guns, againfl the North-well cur lain of the lower fort, was conftruded by Captain CIOSDILL, of the artillery; and another for three guns againfl the EaR face of the fort and citadel, by Lieutenant FITCHET, of his Ma:jelly's 73d regi ment: the guns were alfo got into them, and at a quarter pall fix o'clock yellerday morning both opened with the heft poffible effed. In the courfe of the day, the fire of Lieutenant Fircuer's bat tery effeded a practicable breach in the lower wall, and at the fame time opened the face of the citadel ; while that from Captain Caosaitt's made a breach in the curtain ftifficiently wide for a company to enter abreaft. Thefe defirable ob jets being attained, the line turned out at half pall three in the afternoon, and the ftorming par ties were formed in the following order :—That for the North-well breach tinder Lieutenant-Colo nel Davis, fenonded by Major STEACH•H, con fining of the flank and two battalion companies of his Majefty's 73d regiment ; one company of the 2d battalion of the 4th regiment; and four companies of the t R battalion of the tath regi ment, native, flanked by forty volunteer difniount ad dragoons, of his Majefty's 25th regiment : That fur the Eaftern breach, under Captain Ro- SUIT Muwao, con fi ning of three battalion com panies of his Majefly's 73d regiment ; the flank companies of the ad battalion of the 4th regiment, and two companies of the ad battalion of the t sth regiment, native infantry.—At a quarter before four o'clock the troops were ordered to advance, and in half an hour were completely mailers of the place, the rebels having quitted the works, and retreated to their well-built houfes, where they for Tome time individually defended them felves : moll of them were, however, killed, and of thofe who fled, but very few, if any, efcaped the cavalry, who furrounded the fort. To the honour of the troops, I mull beg leave to add, that every woman and child was humanely !pared, only two of the former, and none of the latter hav ing fallen, even from accidental !hot.—The wound formerly received by Lieutenant-Colonel Mox sv ex aNT deprived me of his valuable Cervices on the prefent occafion, but his place was moil ably filled by Lieutenant-Colonel Davis;• and though it is difficult to diferiminate where all have behaved in a manner to honourable to themfelves, with fuch perfed unanimity, and fo much to my entire fa tistatlion. I yet fed it my duty to point out to his Lordihip's notice. Lieutenant-Colonel MoNET 21011T. Lieutenant-Colonel Davis, Major STRA. CHAN, Captain Rosser Muman, Captain CEOs- DILL, Captain Nona, and Lieutenant FITCHET, as Officers whofe zeal and ability have fhone con fpicuous throughout, and to whore exertions I am particularly indebted. Much praife is due to my Aid-de-Camp, Cap tain READ, whofe zeal and activity, during our various operations againft the place, was unre mitted. Nor can I pats over in filence the meri torious condud of Lieutenant MACLEAN, of his Majefly's 25th Light Dragoons, who on the feve ral attacks or the 14th, loth, and loth infant, Aept voluntarily forward to accompany Major Sleaeiraw. _ _ The condat of Mr. Deputy CommilTary Bus has alfo been much to my fatisfaaion. It gives me the molt heartfelt pleafure to add, that not a life has been loa on this =Minn, and that the accompanying nom (not received) of wnundtd will be found to contain but very few. The Officers and molt of the men formerly wound. ed, are doing well. A minute examination of the fort, and the knowledge fsnee obtained, enables me to add, that the attack made by Major STAAi.•IAN on the lath innant, was by no means more fpirited than judi cious, hsr determined refinance malt long ere that have been the fixed intention of the Rebels, as it is now afcertained that the feveral gates were pre. Tinnily built up. The Potail or Riledar of Tirmakull has been banged, but the women, children, and filch of the wounded Rebels as were collated after the affault of yellerday, have been permitted to depart. It is my intention to denroy the whole of the fort, and I feel confident that this example will ffedually reflore the tranquility of the Adoni Pro. IitICC.-1 have the honour to be, &c.

The Go— vernment has contributed to this great work.— Commerce, favoured by this asft of beneficence, already reaps the fruits of it, and foreigners find complete fecurity in the conneftions with Holland. Every thing feems to concur in confolidating this ufeful eftablifliment, the eziftence of which, if I may fo ezprefs myfelf, confecrates the public cre dit. The falutary effeds of this happy reftoration were immediately apparent.

" TRiATV Or COMMERCE.—The Government has recently quieted the fears of our manufaaurers with refpelt to the importation of articles of Eng lilh manuladure. " In fa& a Treaty could have no other objeft than the reciprocal advantage of the two nations; but is it not to be dreaded that we can have no choice but what involves the alternative of the profperity or defruCtion of our manufaeures ? In a Mort (pace of time they have fuccefsfully juili fed the proteCtion of the Government by their efforts ; and by continuing, they cannot but ad vance fill more rapidly, without much injury to the Englifh, who are always fure of a fuffi cient confumption for their merchandise among the neighbouring Powers. The introdueion of their commodities into France cannot be of fo , . . much importance to them in any other way, than as it would tend to diminifh our refourccs, prevent ;oar importing a great quantity of raw materials, I and throw idle many thnufands of people, whom 1 it is the intereft of France to keep employed, un lefs the is prepared to take the expence of their maintenance upon herfelf, in confequance of the total ruin of the manufacturers. " To fhcw the injury which mull accrue to French manufactures, by the entrance of Englifh merchandize, even clogged with a duty, it is necef firy only to refer to the infLuice of Englifn paint , ed floor-cloths, which, in confequence of being in i this clafs, are brought into France in fuch great 1 qUantities, that the tales of our grand manufafto ries of Jouy St. Denis, and other places, are al -1 ready diminifhed one half. 44 Notwitlitlanding the prohibition, the difficul ties of a fraudulent trade, and the fevereft penal ties, the othcr kinds of merchandize dill find their way into France. What then will be the confe querie of opening all the ports of France ? For the merchandize being admitted on the payment of a duty, all the means of committing fraud may be praCtifed to the moment of making the declaration ; and even when this laft extremity is retorted to, can it be fuppofed that the Govern ment will receive the full amount of the duties ? " An article of great confumption, and which pays a considerable duty, is almoft always intro duced in fuch a way as to defraud the revenue of one half the duty ; and this generally goes into the pocket of the foreign merchant, over and above the value of bis commodity. _ 46 What chance, then, of face& could the French manufaaures pairs, having fcarcely emerged from a Rate of infancy, and obliged to maintain a conteß with thofe which bate attainee their full vigour ? They mutt relapfe into tha Rate of languor in which they remained during the laR Treaty of Commerce ; the Englifb woul,' fend us Rill more abundant fupplies of every al tide of merchandize ; and the exchange void.. probably rife, as before, to more than lateen per cent. is tiOr f#vour."-rla yearwal it Comore& MATUCJL; LISBON, JULY is.

One article in particular in the Official Paper will be read with confiderable Intereft by commercial men ; and the more fo as there is Tome difficulty in reconciling what it Rates with the condua of the French Government. in fending a Commercial Commiffiover to this country: The Mendingr de nies explicitly that there is any intention on the part of that Government to enter into any COMMERCIAL TREATY with this country. The following is the article alluded to:— 44 We have already noticed the abfurdity of the reports circulated for the purpofe of alarming the judges and public funaionaries. We mull now requeft the manufaCturers to give no credit to thofe propagated in regard to a pretended treaty of commerce between France and England. The readinefs with which the manufaanrers take the alarm refpeaing objeas of fo much importance does no great honour to their difcernment. Do 1 they not fee that the reftpration of our manu faaures ought to be and is the conftant objea of the care and thoughts of Goternment, and that it mull always be convinced, that the greatnefs of the French name will really be the refult of a good colonial fyftem, and of the profperity of our manufaaures I 44 The manufadurers then may be under no uneafinefs. If the nation is great and arcing, if the army is brave and well difciplined, the princi pal advantage which the Government thence de rives, is to enfure to them both at home and abroad a market, fecurity, and profperity." According to the Gazette of Brun, the PACS* of Taitwo ice has advanced againft Widdin with a corps of 8000 men, which mutt have obliged PASSV/All OGLOU to evacuate Wallachia. This rebel has repaired the Danube, near the Ile of Calefat, with 250 carriages, laden with grain.— The fame Paper announces, that the GLAND Salo mon has petifhed during a revolt, which took place at Conftantinople ; but it gives no date nor any details refpeeing this event. A letter from Conitantinople, dated May 30, Rates, that the Porte feems to be much alarmed, in confequence of the occupation of Georgia by the Ruffians, and the war they carry on againft Perfia. Georgia, Mingrelia, and Curie', had claimed the protedion of Ruffia,againft MaHOKST Kaw. After the death of this Kam, Ruffia fent troops to Georgia, to maintain it entirely indepen dent of Perfia. Brio KAN, the yew King of Per fia, incenfed at the meafures adopted by Ruffia, and the troubles it had excited in the province of Ghilan, compelled the Ruffians to retire into Tra back. A Ruffian army advanced to Aftracan, gaffed at Derbent, and entered the province of Ghilan. BAIA.LAN, on his fide, fet out with a numerous army, and marched to meet the Ruffian army. If Ruffia fbould be able to render the empire of Perfia tributary, the Empire of Conftantinople would be furrounded by that immenfe power.

A deputation was then charged to repair to the Archduke PALATINE, fitting with the Magnates of the Kingdom in another Hall, and to announce to his Royal Highnefs, that the States had obeyed the orders of his MAJESTY in repairing to their polls.

The Est r a.ddreffed the Sates as follows :—• , f It is needlefs to call to your remembrance here what no one can be ignorant of, viz. that the fir& sears of our Reign were de tined, through need. fay, to the maintenance of a cruel war, and that *Boar thoughts,whithit would have been agreeable to us to employ in the calmnefs of peace to the profperity of our States, were entirely abforbed, by the care of preferving the Monarchy entire, and fecure it againft inevitable diffolution of the bonds which unite fo many people faithful to our per. fop. For this teafon the Diets which we then con, yoked had,no other, and could have rap other ob. jets, than to deliberate on the means of removing the danger and defending the dignity of the Throne. In this, we not only were affilled by your Councils, but we experienced alto the efficacy of your fupport, For when the chances of war permitted the enemy to penetrate at two different times into our Hereditary States of Germany, you (pared no expence to collea always with in, credible (peed a new army fit for the operations of war, which afpired after nothing but danger aid glory, and which never hefitated, under the die ration and by the example of our well beloved Brother your Duke Palatine, to factifice them (elves for us and for the Monarchy. The remembrance of this generous clevotioO will never be effaced from our memory, and we recollea alto, and with no lets fatisfaaion, that not only Tome, but all of you, infpired by the mofi, affecting love for us and for your country, were not fatisfied with granting the fublidies in men, money, and provitione, decreed by the States, but by a free and fpontaneuns movement, you made 4 &came to the public cauft of all the means which were in your power. But, notwithllanding the cares which the war required, we never ceafed, as much as circumftances would permit, to turn our attention to the internal happinefs of our States I and we ought, indeed, to fay, that thole whom you appointed to aa in concert with us difshargel worthily, and agreeably to our Royal will, the tails impofed upon them,by devifing and propofiog every thing that could tend to maintain and pro- mote the public welfare. Now that ware freed faun the cares of war, our paternal folkittule, thougt4 claimed by every part of the public adminifirAtion , ought, however, to be particularly direaed to wards the means which tend to guaranty MCP nal feccurity, which is the balk of all civil oil', once: for, as has been proved by the recent dan gers of the war, it is impoßlble to enjoy one's pro- perty unlcfs it be fecured from foreign incurfions, This fecurity can be effete* acquired only by WO% iN Milisgl *pew tscalrary J .
