Another account states, that on the 21st of July the Doris spoke his Majesty's ship Malacca, ten days from Java; and from her learnt, that the expedition against Palambang had been completely successful, and that the army on its return bad been employed against the Rajah or Prince of J ACGOC• CA T RA, who, it appears, bad shewn symptoms of dissatisfac tion during the absence of the troops. The force was com manded by Colonel GILLEsPIE, who stormed the fortress and town in which the Rajah had taken post. The Rajah himself was taken prisoner, together with the whole of his property. The Rajah's force was estimated at 10,000 men, .and his loss in killed and wounded is said to be considerable. Colonel GILLESPIE was wounded, but the British loss was inconsiderable. _ Besides the above intelligence from India, we learn, by an ,official dispatch from lieutenant-Colonel SsnTn, dated i2•tth of February, that the fort of Nowanugger had fallen into the bands of the British.

By the George Canning, active(' off Dover from Buriios Ayres ' gazettes have been received from th at city to the 3th August, and private letters to the 2o!h of the same month. \V e obsetve, with 'egret, that this unlaippy colony is still destined to be the scene of anarchy, confo,ion,:ind 11 bloodshed. No sootier arc the ditietences between the Go 11j vernments of Buenos .lyres and Nlonte Video adjusted, than j the old and new Spaniards of the city of Buenos Ayres I itself engage in the most deadly enmities, and are constainly consph Mg against each others lives. From about the of July to the beginning of August, the city of Buenos .fees was in a state of the titmost commotion. lite cause of this it said to have been the dissatisfaction which the European Spaniards had conceived, on account of the abject condition 1 . in which they wore held by the :Junta of Buenos •I)'s c`• hence they ate said to have conceived the idea'of °morn ing the existing Government, with the view of taking into their own battik; the supreme authority. They failed in their project, and upwards of 200 of the conspirators (com prising the lira class of merchants,) were made prisonets, of whom Q 5 were shot. The following extract of a letter contains some of the particulars cf these unhappy oe- cu rrences : The conspiracy . was p!anned by Martin A lzi g a, a Spaniard, sixty years of age, m who ltad accumulated a larg e foie me at Buenos Ay res His chief assistants were Telechea Francisco Valdepares, and a monk named Jose de las Animas. They had provided 13)0 stand of arnii. According to their project, the depots of ammunition and artillery, and the military guards in (afferent parts of the city, were to be sur prised at one and the same moment. They were then to attack the fortress. It was p lanned that a party should sec ure the Fort 14,110 r, and compel him to open the principal gate, 4t which SOU of the epirators were to be ready to enter. They Had prepared false keys to open the sally pow, and 400 were to enter on that sate.
