EAST INDIES. CEYLON. WOODTHORPE. Cotmoso Fes. 27.—Th e C an di ans , a f ter hover ing for a confiderable time in all direaions on our frontiers, have at /aft entered our country. On the Bth of February, they crolfed the Kaymellee River, at Allogolla, and penetrated a fmall way into the Hinn and Happitigam Conies, with the intention, as they gave out. of attacking the port of Moogorant- Tilly. Enfign Bova, of the Caffree Corps, who com manded there, went out to difperfe them, and, with a (mall force of thirty Natives, drove them back into the Seven Codes. Soon after this event, Lieut. CHRISM, of the Ca valry, who was Rationed with his (mall troop at Hangwelle, having croffed the Caluna Gangs, with the Cavalry, and one Subaltern, and fifty Infantry, and paired the Poogodde, along the limits of the Plena Cork, arrived at Moogorampilly, and croffing the Kaymellee, defiroyed many batteries, drove away all the Candians, who were affembled in great num bers within a range of twelve miles from the place where he eroded the River, and having burned their magazines, returned with one man only wounded. 'lbis irruption was followed, on the tsth, by one commanded by Captain Bt. ACKAL t , who left Negumbo with 3o Europeans. and so Natives; and, being Mjoined by the cavalry, and s o N at i ve I n f antry , at oogorampilly, patted the Kaymellee, at Giriooly, and detaching Lieutenant PARR ha to the N. W. with one half of the detachment, marched to the EaR ward, with the intention of attacking the head-quar ters of the Candians, at Galgamowa, in the four Corks. He met with fome renitence at Belligalle ; but. having overcome it, heard that the enemy had Bed in all direaions ; and, having defiroyed their magazines, returned to Moogoranspilly, and thence to Negumbo. with no cafualty, but two coolies wounded and two horfes killed : he was loon after joined by Lieutenant PARRS!, who had fucceeded equally well in driving the enemy from the neigh bourhood of our territories. Since thefe expeditions, the Candians have not appeared on our frontier, from Putland to Galle. They, however, entered with a great force at the fame time. on the rflth of this month, into the Matura Diaria, near Catoone, and into the Mahagampattoo. In the latter diftria, Capt. ARTHUR Joxasrow, as loon as he heard of their approach, under the com mand of the Deffave of Ouva, fet out from Ham. bangtottr o with a force confiding of so Sepoys and about 3o invalid Malays, at eight in the evening, and furprifed one of the advanced parties, after a march of eight miles. He found the enemy's camp, how. ever, apprifed of his intention, but attacked them immediately with his fmall force, defeated them, and obliged them to fit, after a long refiftance and a con fiderable lots of lives. The Deffave of Ouva was nearly taken; a brats one pounder fell iuto our bands; and, had the age and fatigue of the brave Malay veterans allowed it, the purfuit would have been more fatal to the Candians than the battle Cape Joules row was himfelf nearly killed by a Can dian, but fared by the fpirited and timely fuccour of the Sub-AtEllant Engineer RILEY. A reinforcement of Europeans, which has gone to Hambangtotte fince this brilliant and decifive aaion, will, it is hoped, fecure that valuable difiria. The attack of the other branch of the Candian forces, which entered the Matura under the command of the firft Adigar, and relation of the King, was, at firft, more fuccefsful. They furprifed the fort of Catoone, and took pof feffion of it; but Capt. BRADISH, who was proceed ing for Matura to that place, with a detachment of forty fix Europeans and eighty-two natives, on hear ing that unpleafant intelligence. hafiened his march, And found the place evacuated, on his arrival; but a cohorn, with fome ammunition, and eighty bags of rice which had been lodged th ere, w ere carr i e d o ff by t he enemy. 'He fucceeiled, however, in overtaking Tome par ties of Candians, in the neighbourhood, of whom many were killed by his detachment, and twenty eight Madras Artillery Lafcars, one Bengal Volun teer, and eight Malays, of thofe taken at Candy, came over to him. There fuccelfes, as well as the judicious meafures taken by Colonel Vise cur, for the protelion of the dillrias of Galle and Matura, have obliged the enemy to retire in all diredions from the touthern provinces, where they hem to have intended their principal attack. They have alfo entered the Wanny, near Pannen famme, but a force has been fent from Jaffan a p atam , ully fufficient, with that already Rationed at Manar and Moletivo, to repel them ; and the garrifons of Trincomalee and Batticalao, being fully adequate to the defence of thole difiriets, we may fairly hope, that this defperate effort of the Candian Government will be fruftrated.

We cannot help confidering thks intelligence as favourable rather than otherwife ; for ferrous fears were entertained in the City that this kiadron, which at Lloyd's had got the name of the Invifible, had proceeded to the Weft In dies. HAMBURGH MAILS. The four Mails that were due arrived this day. Lord Haaaoway had reached Hamburgh before the departure of thefe Mails, and by this time has pro.' bably reached Berlin, where his pretence will bring matters to an Me. Indeed, if we may credit the general teaor of the letters we have teen from Hain burgh, every thing is in as favourable a train as the Allies could poffibly will. It is even pofitively at ferted, that an Alliance offenfive and defenfive has already been concluded and figned between his Prof. Tian Majefty and the Emperor of Ruffia, in confe. quence of the aggreffion of the French, and the timely vifit paid by ALEXANDER to his Royal BrotherFasna. atm From Berlin the Ruffian Emperor is toproceed to Vienna, to have an interview with the Emperor Faanas, and Orong hopes are entertained, that by this means inch an harmony and unity of operation will be eftablithed among the Allied Powers, as will greatly tend to inture fuccefs again( the common enemy. General MACK, who, after his capitulation, was permitted to go on his parole to Vienna, is reported to have carried with him propofids far a pacification. On his arrival there he was committed to prifon, and a council of war is to be held to examine into his conduCt. For other particulars, and the details furniffied by the prefent mails, refpeding military operations, we muff, owing to the latenefs of the hour, refer our Readers to the following Extra& : The Frankfort Papers give a letter from the Da nube, in which i► is (fated, that the Ruffian General Kirrusow had refolved, inftead of attacking the French Army, to withdraw to Wells, partly that he may not be attacked from behind by the French. who were expated to appear in the territory of Salta burgh by the 25th, and partly to wait reinforcements from the Ruffian. and Auftrian Imperial Armies. For this view we are allured that the Archduke CHALLIS is battening from the interior of the Auf trian States with an Army of 50,000 men. Visswa, Ocr. 26.—His Majefty the Emperor of Russia is expefted here in the courfe of the enfuing week. General Mace is arrived here, and it is Paid has. brought propofitions of peace; but unlefs they are very honourable they will not be liftened to: FROM THE COURT GAZETTE. (krona v.—His Royal Highnefs the Archduke Cwaims,Minifter at War, and Commander in Chief in Italy, has communicated advice* from his head quarters at St. Stephan°, of the date of Oltober 19, that the enemy on the 18th, at five in the morning, commenced hoftilities, by a brifk fire of artillery and (mall arms, on feveral points of the Adige. His object was to engage the attention of the army at revere places, and attempt a paffage ; and he, in fad, fucceeded in palling the River, near Verona, and likewife at Bonavigo. The palTage at the former of there pheet *mad not be conteged with him, on account of his advantageous &nation, protected by Caflel Vecchio, and at the latter it was favoured by a ftrongly fortified Ifland in the Adige, and the al fiftance of feveral mills and boats. His Royal Highnefs judging that his right wing felting againft Caldiero, would be ftrong enough to refift the enemy near Verona, and feeling more dif. quietude for his left wing, proceeded on the *Bth in the evening with the centre of his army towards Caldi Setto, in order to attack the enemy at day break in three columns at Albaredo, Petaftro, and St. Stephan di Minerva, near Bonavigo. He did not, however, wait this attack, but left the Bank of the Adige in the night, and deftroyed his bridge. His Royal Highnefs, on his return to St. Stephan*, learned, that the enemy had in like manner aban doned the heights he had occupied near Verona, and retired under the artillery of Caftel Vecchio; and that he had left on this fide only caftan, under the protalion of his batteries, which his Royal Highnefs propofed to attack the next day. The enemy has as yet attempted nothiag againft the Tyrol, nor againft the troops potted on the Inn ; the battles he has been obliged to fight in the envi- , rons of Ulm have greatly weakened his army. His Majefty the Emperor and King. lays the fame Gazette, accompanied by Count Lamaarri, has let out for the Auftro-Ruffian army on the Inn, in or. der to make, in perfon, fuch difpofitions as circuses. fiances may require. It is laid that the Archduke CHALLIS will leave Italy, and likewife repair to that army, whence he will return to this City with his Auguft Brother, to receive the Emperor of Ruffia. The head-quarters of this army, which has been joined by a fir ong Ruffian div ifion, are at Braunau. The principal corps of the Ruffian army is more in the rear, and General KuTusow has his head quarters at Ems. WARSAW, OCT. 23.--We weft here in a few days a corps of 60,000 Ruffians, which will pats through Southern Pruffia, on their way to their deflination. HAWAII, Nov. a.—General KOTUSOW occupies a camp near Wells, on the great road from Salzbourg to Lintz, to avoid being turned by the French army, the right wing of which was to arrive near Salzbourg on the 25th of Otaotter ; and in order to form a jnnaion with the Ruffian troops which are on their march, and with the reinforcements of the Heredi tary States. We are allured, that betides there, schooo men from the Army of Italy, are advancing by forced marches into AufLria, and that they will be replaced by Ruffian troops from Corfu. HANOTILR, Nov. s.—We are affisured that the Pruffian troops have received orders to halt, and to remain in the places where they may happen to be. There is much talk here of a convention, faid to be concluded on the 3111 of Odober, by virtue of which, the Elatorate of Hanover will be occupied by 30,000 Prullian troops, for the maintenance of two thirds of which, his Pru Man Majelly will provide, and the Eleitorate for the refl. The Prig Gan troops which were at Lenzen had paired the Elbe on the IA inn. and will arrive in a few days at Falleriloben, Meinerfen, and Grifhorn. PASSAU, OcT. 25.—The fortrefs of Oberhaus, near Paffau, after having been clofely blockaded by the Auftrians and Ruffians, and after being twice fummoned, refuted to furrender, was to-day carried by affault at five in the morning. On Friday laft, the elation of a Knight to ferve in Parliament for the county of Monmouth, in the room of the late refpefted Member, General Rootta, took place at Ulk, in that County ; when Lord AR THUR. JOHN Hsaav SOMERSSI was elated without oppofition. The public mind was confiderably agitated yef terday evening by the loud and Ready firing of guns; which were conceived to be thofe of the Park and Tower, accordiag to the effeft produced at different parts of the town ; and various reports, in conic (pence, got into circulation ; the cattle of all this was the affembling at five o'clock, of the brigade of Royal EaR India Volunteers in their ground, by or der of the Chairman of the EaR India Company, with their field pieces, &c. when they fired a falute and fag de jive, in honour of the late fplenclid naval vidories. Lieutenant-General Stracoa iffued orders on Mon day to the whole of the Southern difirid, including Plymouth Garrifon, to be ready to turn out at a mo ment's warning to receive the Body of Lord Nacsom ; the artillery to fire minute guns, as well as the dif ferent batteries, on its landing at the Admiral's yard, and to continue till out of the precinfts of the garri fon. The (beets to be lined with the troops and volunteers, who are to prefent arms, drums muffled, colours furnifhed with crape, and Officers in naval and military mourning, during the 'mirage of the Hero to Plymouth. The lame ceremony to be obferved in each town and village to the end of the dillance, the bells alfo to chime muffled. LORD NE:Ames Co FF I x.—The coffin in which Lord Vikount NMON'S body is to be depofited, now lies at Mr. Peddifon's, in Brewer-areet. It is made en tirely of planks of fir, not snore than half an inch thick, which were cut out of the null of the French Admiral's (hip POrient, that blew up in the glorious battle of Aboukir. The lid is the only part at prefent uncovered, and the workmen were obliged to piece it at the fides and end. The outfide is covered with fine black cloth, and the infide lined with white filk, fluffed with cotton, and trimmed round the top with a quilling of mitred (ilk. This coffin is fix feet long, but narrow. When the body is &poked in this, it is to be placed in a leaden coffin, lined with thick planks of oak, which alfo lies ready at the fame houfe. The outfide coffin is not yet finilbed, it is to be co vered with black velvet, and richly mowed. arr Busnuss. Yetlerday the Loan MAYOR held his Brit Coast of Aldermen at Guildhall, which was attended by ten Aldermen, (betides his Lordfhip) the Sheriffs. Recorder, Etc.

After the minutes of the laft Court were read, M. SAMUEL Dixon moved, that an humble, loyal, and dutiful Addrefs be prefented to his MAJESTY, on the late glorious victory obtained by his Majelly's fleet under the command of the late Lord Vifcount NlL sou, over the combined fleets of France and Spain, on the 2IR ult. off Cape Trefalgar, which was fe conded by M..tlepnty KistaLe, and unanimoufly agreed to ; and a Committee of all the Aldermas prefent, and a Commoner from each Ward, was ap pointed to withdraw, and prepare an Addrefs accord ingly; who retired for that purpofe, and having re turned with the draft of an Addrefs, the fame was twice read, and approved of ; and it was ordered, that the faid Addrefs fhould be fairly tranfcribed, and figned by the Town Clerk, and prefented to his Ma.

Yefterday a Court of Direaors was held at the Egli • India Houfe, when Captain Duasroitn was (worn into the command of the Claes, deffinedto Bombay and China. The Court adjourned at fi x o'clock till Wednefilay next. The great Eaft India Dock at Blackwell was cnn. vested into a kind of national faloon on Monday evening, in honour of the greateft naval battle ever fought. An immenfe bonfire was lighted up in the centre of this grand bafon ; and notwithftanding the water is not yet in, the merry fearnen and nip buil ders rendered it rather a oper than a by dock. THE LORD MAYOR: His Lmdfliip has not yet flept at the Manfion Houfe, the Committee not has'. ing infpefted the furniture, or the neceffary preparta tions made for his Lordfhip's reception. The dif patches on Monday morning, fent at (even o'clock, by the Admiralty, were forwarded to his Lordfhip, at his houfe, in America-fquare, who immediately went to the Manfion Houfe, bad a copy fent to Lloyd's Coffee Houfe, and another polled there, be fore nine o'clock. At one a Mellinger was fent from the Admiralty to inform his Lordlhip, that the Pub lic Offices would not be illuminated that night ' and, it is fuppofed, it was this circumftance whi c h gave rife to the report of a third viCtory. NATIONAL Mos naive nerday was opened to public view, in St. Paul's Cathedral, a Monument in commemoration of the late General THostes Do:t oes, who died in the Well Indies during the left war. This monument was crated by a vote of Parliament, as a teftimony of national gratitude for his fignal mi. litary atchieveinents. It confifts of a Coloffal Itatne of Britannia placing a wreath of laurel on the bull of the General which is crated on his tomb. Britannia is affociated with the figure of Senfibility. To the right of the left named figure is the Genius of Britain prefenting an olive branch, in allufion to the objet of our exertions in war, viz. the attainment of a jolt and honourable peace. Some military trophies are placed on the tomb, which is enriched by an alto. relievo reprefentation of Britannia in the aft of pro. rating Liberty from Anarchy and Iforocrily. A curious proceeding uniformly takes place on the firft day of the Seffion of Parliament. A Committee of both Houfes, beaded by the Great Chamberlain, fearch and explore the vaults and cellars under the houfes, previous to the coming of his MAIIITY, in order to be certain they do not contain any inflam mable or combullible matter. It is called Guy Faux', Committee, and the hilierical circumftance which gave rife to the proceeding is well known ; but, with an unaccountable degree of inconfiftency, a fimilar fearch is not made on the lafi day of the Sefton.-..
