.T r 1 r f XASTINDIES. BOMBAY GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY. „130DLIBAI”, DiIfEMBER 2s, 1819. A Dispatch as been received by the Honourable the Governor in Council, from Major-General Sir William Grant keir, K.M.T. to the address of the Adjutant-General of the Army, dated the 96 of this month, of which the following is a copy: TO THE ADJUTANT-GENERAL OF TILE ALMY. San-1 have tiro satisfaction to report the town of Ra%-ul-lillynia; alter a resistance of six days, was taken possession of this morning by the force under my command. Previous to making you acquainted with the circumstances which led to this.fortunate result, 1 shall do myself the honour briefly to detail the events which occurred between the period of my lag cummunication and the commencement of 4 operations before Ras.ul-Khyma. On the lath ultimo, after completing my arrange ments at Muscat, the Liverpool sailed for the rendez vous at Kishme ; on the 21st, we fell in with the fleet, off the Persian coast, and anchored off the island of Larrack, on the 21th November. As it ap peared probable that a considerable period world elapse before the junction of the ships which were detained at Bainbay, I conceived it would prove highly advantageous to avail myself of that interval in acquiring as accurate a knowledge of the strength and defvncts of -Ras-ul-Khyma, as personal obserta ti.in could supply ; and I gladly embraced the pro posal of Captain Collier, that the Liverpool should proceed thither for that purpose. The senior Engineer was accordingly taken on board, and having sailed from Larrack on the morn ing of the oath, we anchored off Ras-ul-Khyma on the 27th. The place was.closely and repeatedly +re connoitred ; and the weather continuin favourable for our operations, I determined to t down the troops and commence the attack witho waiting for the rear transports, as the season of the North-west winds was rapidly approaching, and Captain Collier appeared apprehensive that a further delay might prove detrimental to the enterprise. A—vessel was, therefore, dispatched with instructions to Captain Walpole, who was left in charge of the fleet, and on the 2d instant, the transports arrived, under convoy of the Curlew. No time was lost in making the necessary prepa rations for landing, which was effected the following morning without opposit:on, at a spot which had been previously selected for that purpose, about two miles to the southward of the town. The troops were formed across the isthmus, connecting the peninsula on which the town is situated with the neighbour ing country, and the whole of the day was occupied in getting tents on shore, to shelter the men from the rain, landing engineers' tools, sand-bags, &c. and making arrangements preparatory to commencing our approaches the next day. On the morning of the 4th, the light troops were ordered to advance, supported by the picquets, to dislodge the enemy from a bank within nine hundred yards of the outer fort, which was expected to afford good cover for the men, and to serve as a depot for Stores, previous to the erection of the batteries. The whole of the light companies of the force, under the command of Captain Backhouse, of his Majesty's 47th Regiment, accordingly moved forward, and .drove the Arabs with great gallantry from a date grove, and over the bank above described, close un der the walls of tL. foit, followed by the picquets under Major 3lolesworth, who took post at the sand-bank, whilst the European light troops were skirmishing in front. The enemy kept up a sharp fire of musketry and cannon dui ing these n:ovements ; and I regret to add, that Major Alolesworth, a gallant and zealous offi cer, was killed by a cannon-shot, at the head of the picquets. Lieutenant Stepney, of the 6ith, was wounded on this occasion. The troops, however, maintained their position during the day, and in the night effected a lodgment within three hundred yards of the southernmost tower, and erected a battery for four gulls, together with a mortar-battery on the right, and a trench of communication for the protec tion of the covering party. The weather having become rather unfavourable for the disembatkation of the stores required lot. the siege, it was with considerable difficulty that this primary object was effected ; but every obstacle was surmounted by the zeal and indefatigable exertions of the navy, and on the rimming of the 6th we were enabled to open three eighteen-pounders on the fort; a couple of howitzers and six-pounders were also placed in the ballet y on the right, which played on the defences of the towers, and nearly silenced the enemy's fire. The Liverpool, during these opera tions, warped in as close to the shore as her draught of water would permit, and opened her guns on the town, which must have created considerable alarm in the garrison, but she was unfortunately at too great a distance to produce any decided effect. The enemy, who during the whole of our progress exhi bited a considerable degree of resolution in with standing, and ingenuity in counteracting our attacks, sallied torch at eight o'clock this evening along the whole front of our entrenchments, crept close up to the mortar battery without being perceived, and en tered it over the parapet, after spearing the advanced sentries. The party which occupied it was obliged to retire, but being immediately reinforced, charged the assailants, who were driven out of :the battery with considerable loss. The attack on the left was repelled instantaneously by the spirited resistance of the covering party, under Miijor Warren, who dis tinguished himself much on this occasion by his cool 4ess and gallantry. The enemy repeated his attacks towards morning, but was vigorously repulsed.— During the 7th, every exertion was made to land and bring up the remaining guns and mortars, w hi c h Was accomplished during the night, after incessant labours, by the sailors, assisted by working parties from the troops, and those of his Highness the i ma m, who cheerfully volunteered their services. They were immediately placed in battery, together With two twenty-four-poundPrs, which were landed from the Liverpool, and is the morning the whole of our ordnance opened on the fort, and fired with scarcely any intermission till sun -set, when the breach ou the.cortan was reported nearly practicable, and the towers almost untenable. 'lmmediate arrange rents were made for the assault, and the troops or alred to more down to the trenches at day-break the next morning. The bombardment continued during I the night, and the batteries having recommenced their fire before daylight, completed the breaches by eight o'clock. The accompanying orders will ex- I plain to his Excellency the dispositions of attack, As well as the measures taken to guard against the pos sibility of a failure, in the event of the enemy defend ing himself as deperately as might have been ex pected from his previous defence. These precautions, however, were. unnecessary ; the party moved for ward about eight o'clock, and entered the fort through the breaches without firing a shot : and it soon ap peared that the enemy had evacuated the place. The town was taken possession of, and found almost en tirely deserted, only eighteen or twenty men, and a' few women, remaining in their houses. Upon the whole, it appears evident, considering the spirited behaviour of the enemy at the commencement of the siege, that their sudden resolution to evacuate the place was occasioned by the overwhelming fire of the artillery, of which they could have formed no previous idea, and which the ample means placed at my disposal - enabled me to bring against the town. Our loss, I am happy to say, is much less than could have been expected, from the length of the siege and the obstinacy with which the enemy dis puted our approaches.. I have had no means of aster taming theirs, but it must have been severe. I beg you will assure his Excellency that I feel en tirely satisfied with the conduct of the troops ; their gallantry has been exceeded only by their patience and cheerfulness under every species of privation and fatigue ; and the peculiarity of this service has called forth a full display of these qualities, which are equally creditable to the soldier as the most intrepid acts of bravery. By the orders which I do myself the honour to enclose, his Excellency will be enabled to estiniate the services performed by Captain Col lier and the naval part of the Expedition; and I can only add, that the acknowledgments therein ex pressed are scarcely adequate to the assistance I have received from them.—I have the honour to be, &c.

The Paris Papers of Thursday arrived yesterday. .In consequence of the recent attempt against the safety of the Royal Family, extraordinary precau tions have been taken to protect, not only the Palace, but the peace of the City by a strong military guard. —The night patrol service is now performed by mounted grenadiers of the Royal Guard, upon whose fidelity the greatest reliance is placed. The proceedings in the Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday were void of interest. The following is an extract of a letter from Madrid: " MADRID, APRIL 28. " There is no longer any talk of the counter-revo lution, said to have been planned by the Monks; if appears that some of them have been arrested. Yes terday the full battalions of the 2.1 Regiment of Spa nish Guards bad a repast in the field of the Canal. The greatest part of the inhabitants went to witness the Fete, which was very brilliant. The bourgeois mingled with the soldiers ; the King, the Queen, and the Princes, made their appearance after the repast, and promenaded on foot amongst the crowd. Never did this august family receive such lively marks of public esteem." The fact of sentence of death having been passed on Sandi, is confirmed by letters from Frankfort; but the time of his execution is not yet known. A person who has an opportunity of seeing Sandt some. times, asked him how he was ?—" Alas !" he re plied, " the thread of my life seems to be formed of such a tenacious substance, that it cannot be broken, unless by forcible means." He is, however, still very weak, and cannot leave his bed. French Five per Cents. Wednesday, 73 fr. 90c. New York Papers to the 21st of April arrived this morning. A very interesting Report from the committep of Ways and Means in the House of Representativp, is said to have accompanied the 4ai lately reported, for - • • • .• • • •• • • authorising a loan of two millions of dollars. It presents a view of the state of the Public Revenue for the year InO ; from which it appears, That the ba, lance of Incoine at the end of last year, after paying all expenses, was 767,850 dollars. The Means for the year 1820, including the last item, are estimated at 22,.525,685 dollars. Tha following is an Extract of a Letter from Washington, dated April 15: " It is very doubtful whether the Bankrupts' Bill can bit reached this Session, and if it should, it is more doubtful whe ther the house will agree to take it up. The Members are now locking forward for the Tariff, and I think it probable it will be acted on in the beginning of next week. A bold attempt was made yesterday to have it postponed, but failed. If tht Bill should be acted upon and discussed, it is impossible that Congress can adjourn before the Ist of May—some think not until the Bth of May." Several packages belonging to her Majesty the QUEEN have been landed at Dover. _ _ Friday summonses were directed to be issued to the Peers of the United Kingdom, including Roman Catholics and Peers of Scotland and Ireland, not Peers in Parliament, to assist in the ceremony of the ensuing Coronation. Some new stalls are to be added to King Henry the Seventh's Chapel, in Westminster Abbey, pre vious to the installation of the Knights of the Bath. The Duke of Y,ORK, Sir GEORGE 'SAYLER, and the SURVEYOR-GENERAL, attended there en Friday re specting them. Yesterday, the KING attended Divine Service at the Chapel Royal. with his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK, and their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE.

M.P. gave an elegant entertainment to the Duke of RUTLAND and a large party of distinction, at his house in Lower Grosvenor street. Mr. Coxes Birth-day was celebrated, on Saturday week, in all the towns in that part of Norfolk in which that Gentleman resides, with even more fes tivity than usual. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY'S fifth public en tertainment, on Saturday, at Lambeth Palace, was attended by upwards of thirty distinguished per sonages, among whom were— The Earl of Shrewsbury, the Earl of Harrowby, Lord Kenyon, Lord Rous, Lord De Dunstanville, Lord Bridport, the Dean of Chester, Colonel Sutton, Mr. Freemantle, Mr. Gibbs, Mr. Chapman, Mr. Rivers, Mr. IL Ilertford, Dr. Bur ney, Rev. Hugh Percy. Saturday, Viscount NORTHLAND had a large party to dinner, at his house in Upper Grosvenor-street. The Earl of DERBY, we are concerned to state, is confined to his room with a severe attack of gout. ,The Petition against the return of Mr. HonnousE, for Westminster, which was presented on Thursday, is founded upon a charge, preferred by Mr. COMEE, of a suit of clothes having been given to a wretched man, to induce him to vote for the successful Candidate. When KING GEORGE IV. was Prince of WALES, the Duke of ORLEANS, father of the present Duke, during a visit which he made to London, before the Revolution, lent to the presumptive heir to the throne of Great Britain, various sums of money, amounting in the whole to several millions. The present Ili:. e was not acquainted with,the existence of this debt, and only learned it, as we are well assured, by the repayment of it, which has been made by the KING of ENGLAND, 'V.IIO lost no time in discharging the debts of the Prince of WALES. A part of these funds has been employed in paying for the woods and forests which the Duke of ORLEANS has pur chased for five millions.—French Paper. The Address of Condolence to her Royal High ness the Duchess of KENT, which was agreed to at the late Meeting of the Noblemen and Gentlemen connected with the numerous Charities patronized by the late lamented Duke, was presented to her Royal Highness on Saturday, at Kensington Palace; to which she made a suitable and affecting reply.— The Deputation (consisting of the Earl of BREAD.. ALIANE, CHARLES FORBES, Esq. M.P. Mr. Alderman WOOD, M.P. WILLIAM WILLIAMS, Esq. M.P. and JAMES THOMPSON, Esq.
