They do not give the price of the French Ftlnds, the day preceding having beeti Sunday. , , Yefterday, as ufual, was fertile in rumours.— Minifters had received difpatches from France 1-- Howtidiculous is it that this fhould furnifh grounds ror (peculation ? There is hardly a day pares with out their receiving difpatches, nor can it be other wife, efpecially when unfettled points are under difcuflion between the two Governments. The Row-boat"--" the return of Lord WHlT btokrx"—,, the departure of General Aanasosss" the augurs from his phytiognomy, and (tort flay at the Levee," &c. &c. have all been exploded with the contempt fuch idle ftories merit, and tothing remains but g‘ Mr. Purrs expelled return into power," which is ftill talked of, and confidered as inimical to the profped of peace. The following letter from Bombay gives farthei particulars of the engagement, in which the troops of Holkar defeated thofe of the Peifhwa. This event, we are led to think, will be attended with very important confequences. We fhould not be furprifed to hear of the adoption of meafures to firengthen the poftelEons of the Company in this quarter, where they lie contiguous to the Weflern Mantua States EXTRACT 07 A LFTTER PROM 1101‘11/Y, DATED NOT. 3. 1802. The molt decided adtion that has taken place amongft the Native Powers lige the battle of Parrs-pot was fought the a6th nit. between Vann Row Ho!kat, and the Peifhwa ; the lat ter, aided by a arong detachment of Scindea's troops, within three miles of Poona, wherein the latter army, about so,oco, was totally defested..-with Immenfe laughter. Major Dawes who commanded Scindea'a regulars, and one at two other La' form Olkers, and many Sirdars of dißindion fel, and the army completely difperfed. The Wilma led from Peace that day, and is got into the ha fort of Raighu, near Bancoot. Hol ler's Pindarees entered Poona, and begun to plunder, but were recalled before they did much mifchief. This is a precious wsorfel preferred for their Matter, who will, no doubt, levy a heavy contribution. The battle was fought fo near the Sungunr that Colonel Clete was obliged to fend a usenet° Holkar, de firing him to rcfped the Englith lag, which was complied with i bat Clete, with the whole of his faite,has now left Poona. and pon his way to Bombay. What may be refute of this, 1 know sot, but think it likely the Peiltwa,inftead of having our all• voce forced upon him, may now become a fuppliant, and pay us handfomcly for it. The Marquis has an eye to this coal, and it now becomes expedient fur us to be poffefed alit in fame useafure or ether, fo as to herr others out. A detachment is preparing here for ferviee, to be under the cowhand of Colonel Oak, but I rather think the °Ned h the Pirates. We are, however, rein forcing the Gus:crab, and are otherwife prepared Ly a very Rrong army at Hyderabad; and General Wadley ean foon collet% to, Coo men on the banks of the Toombudra." IaTRACT Or A LITTER FROM CAFE TOWN, DATED JANT.I•II.Y 4. We were all embarked rso the Stt DeeeMber, rave on. Company of the 34th, who were to remain In the Odle, to *bike the Bridal Flag at five in the afternooo, and fo to eva cuate the Settlement. The bummer anchored at half pat one. The Admiral and General having received their orders, snd having caroled Officers to go on more and to coiled all the straggling Englifis who might have remained in the teem, (viz foldiers, Cellos, and civilian., to the number of t 60,) into the Cattle, under pretence of embarking them, elated the Dutch Commiliary, then nandly reading in the Cattle, and kept him in converfation on various points, till detachments landing from the various Mips and Indiansen gave the alarm. Four hundred men were thus colleted, *hen they told him their orders to retain tha Cape; and before they parted woo Englifh were in the different forts sod blachiodes. The Dutch at this period occupied the Barracks appellee the Cattle, and had formed their troops to receive paellas, sod were alsally employed in loading the cannon that were to fire when their Flag was to be Milled. You will Judge the dliappolotment oftheblynheasi but I sin not Cure whether the troops, who are almoft all Germans, are very ferry the this eient, which will give to fo many of them an opportunity of dialing from a fery Ice into which they have Deco errtrwed. They are now all encamped; Fut in cafe of Willies they mutt capitulate. Their fleet, cm. nflirg of one 74, (the Bato), and two frigates, enter"e of two armed transports, Is to fail Immediately for Batavia." This morning we received letters from Gibraltar. of fo late a date as the Loth. which we here tub• join : GIBRALTAR. MARCH 7. On the 4th infk. the 23d regiment, or Welib l'ufileers, were reviewed by his Royal Higbnefs the Governor on the Grand Parade, and notwith ftanaing die day was unfavourable, it being very ;old and windy, they went through all the eighteen inanceuvres in a very fuperior flyle, and the whole appearance and difcipline of the regiment was highly to their honour. The Officers dined with ias Royal Highnefs after the review. 40 This morning a fmall (loop of about to tons arrived from Scilly, in t days, loaded with pc,ta ?ne.s for the Garrifon, with only two men to na ',gate her. The novelty of fuch an attempt, at boilierous feafon of the year, excited very -.4lnfiderable furprife here. " Prom the violznt North Weft rinds that have ' • •: i• ' prevailed heie lately, we are appethedve die troops from Egypt will . have a very long page.. it The Garrifon is remarkably healthy, add be have with the utmoft regUlarity and good coddu4; crimes or punillments are now very uncommon among the foldiers ; and it is worthy of remark, that fince his Royal Highnefs has commanded the Garrifon, no Officer has ever been brought to a general Court Martial, whereas formerly feldom a month elapfed without one being ncceffary.— There is no drinking to excefs amonga the Offi cers, and gaming, that great fource of mifchief and difputes, is entirely unknown here. The Of ficers are now going to begin at plays, which his Royal Highnefs encourages and patronifes. MAtCH so. Yeaerday morning the Ga EY HOUND failed for England, and got through the Streights before the wind came to the weftward in the afternooon. The fleetor, from Malta, and London tranfport, from Alexandria, not getting under weigh as loon as the GREYHOUND, were prevented from failing, by the wind coming foul. " Colonel GOKDON, of the 26th Light Dragoons, and Capt. lima °use, of the Artillery, are pagen. gets on board of the London. When they left Alexandria, about one oflicer and 16 men were ill of the plague in the Peft-hofpiral. They chiefly belonged to de Rot E'S regiment. The Mamelukes had been uniformly viaorious over the Turks; and in one of the anions which took place about ten weeks before the London failed, 2500 of the Turks were killed on the fpot. 4 , The Heaor attempted to work out to-day, but was obliged to come to anchor ; hut has again got under weigh, and is (landing through the Gut. ~ A Dutch LILT of battle Ihip paffcd this to the Eaftward yefterday."
