An overland letter juff received from Bombay rays, Ai We hear by the (hip Sufan, which touched at Point de Galle, that, previous to her leaving Batavia, three frigates had arrived there from Europe, with tranf ports, having about goo men on board.

On the 29th of At:Tuft the Board of Health publiflsed a report,' by which it appears that on that day there were only five perfons who died of the peftilential diftemper.

The Office of the New Teri 3feremetile efekeetifee had been ckanged to a dillriet of the city the molt remote from the place where the contagion originated. - The report of the celfion of Wel Florida with Louifcana to the United States is mentioned in a pa per of a date fubfequent to any hitherto received.: There is, however, nothing brought forward to thew that fuch a report rens on any folid foundation. In fad, the only man adduced .to countenance it is, that Louifiana, as formerly poffelred by France, in cluded Weft Florida._ By letters received in Amelia, from Bingion,: we are informed, that the blockade of the ports of St. Domingo is kept up with a degree of ftrillnefs much more general than at the time when it was originally inftituted.. When the blockade was firft formed, a number of American vac's found their way into feveral ports.withoos much difficulty. Lat. icily, however, all vac's endeavouring : to -enter .a blockaded port have been fent to Jamaica without difcriminatioo.

The French frigate Perfeverance, of ss guns, took a pilot on board yeaerday, and is now in the offing, bound in with two captured (hips.

They arrived at the appointed place betwixt nine and tent and a regular park of artillery was fiormed in little more than half an hour. After the officers and men had breakfailed, the corps commenced their manceuvres, which they vtent through in a flyle that met the approbation of Col. Sumo commanding officer of artillery for Scotland, and of Cenral other officers of diflinetion who were prefent. At three o'clock the military operations were concluded ; and ihortly afterwards the guns were limbered up,, the park (truck, and the regiment ordered to march. They reached Edinburgh, in high (pinks, precifely at fix, having been not Ids than twelve hours under arms. Yeilerday the firft company of the St. James's Volunteers marched to Kilburn Wells, to [hoot at a target for a flyer medal, given by Capt.

Yeßevd's,. forenoon Hyde Park exhibited a very gay and fplendid keno. Three regiments of Volun teers KM brigaded togeoher fur the firß time. There regiments were, the firß and fecund of the parills of St. George, and the St. Margaret and St. J .Isn, Well. minfter. Lord Hasarmorou and his AiJs de Camp came on the g round before eleven o'clock. The re gime:as abated, and his Ismaili redc along the Las and infpeßei the brigade With mach attention. He then took his Ration in front: the troops retired hi line, halted, and fronted; the light companies of ,each regiment then fell in front, and pradised the Light infantry movements with cnnfiderable effect, which wouldhave been much improved had they fired. No firing by the brigade however took plice. The line next adr4nced in fupport of the Infantry. who then farmed companies, and joined their refpedire corps. Alter repeating thefe movernentt, and prac tifing . the march hi dole and open columns, and changing front to rear by counter-marches of the files of companies, the brige'de left the ground, for the purpofe of being difmnfed on their refpedive private parades. An accident of a very diareffing nature occurred while the brigade was under arms : an old man, a carpenter at Kenfington. was on his way through Kenfington Gardens to Oxford-greet, on butineA.— He had often gone that way, and of course had to drop from the garden.wall into the Park. This (cat he endeavoured to pradife once more, when he fell from the wall, and fradured the bone of one of his thighs. His cries, and the exertions of fevers! people who law the accident, brought the furgeon of one of the St. George's regiments to the (pot: He del every means in his power to alleviate the fuffer ings of the poor man : a cart was procured, into which he was lifted, and conveyed hustle, attended by the furgeon.

The Officers of this corps kens to have been feleded with much caution : they appear to underfland their duty, and obferve one moil of ential point of it in the Geld, namely, differing no converfation or debating to go on in the ranks. Volunteer Corps will never be fOl. diers, if they do not give up the abfurd and ridicu lous pratclice of talking while under arms.
