TFIFRE has been a great number ef , arrivals• this week from various parts of the globe. Dispatches have bees received from Bombay overland, dated -September 21th, which communicate the interest ing intelligence a battle between the Ptishwa and the British forces, in which the latter were completely victorious. It appears that the Government, notwith standing that the Peishwa had given security by 66 cession of his forts, suspected he was prepairing for hostilities, and marched 4000 men from the Bombay Army to meet him. He took the field with4o,ooo and was defeated in two successive engagements, one on the Sth of November, and the other on the 17th, in the l atter of which he was totally routed, leaving the capi tal, Poonah to its fate, where of eoursc the British • Army entered in triumph. - . This success seems to have produced a magical effect upon the other Chieftains. Seindisth has consented to the passage of our troops through his territories in order t o punish the rintlarecs. l-lolkar has submitted himself . entirely to the Nlarquivef Hasticzs. It is indeed to be hopol that Al!ese mc.:surcs t ili sestore peace to the country; we have agreat distaste to Indian Wars, and we trust that the only anus ncm:Fary to conciliate or subdue will be instruction and kindness. Paris Papers of the 2,ith and 26th arrived yesterday. The Committee to whom the law for the abolition of the Slave Trade a•as referred, have made an unani mous Report, in favour of the law, with one slight alteration. These papers are still silent. as to the ex tonination-oF C.astliZon. The French. Stocks are at 65 fr. 8.7, c. American papershave also arrived containing a message from the President for the purpose of effecting that re ciprocity of benefits, which was provided by the Com mercial Treaty between the two countries, to which object the Co-Nem-vont of the United States appears to have paid a promp arid just r.ttention.. .

It seems that four-fifths of the American Exports to the A% est Indies are carried in British bottuazs, which being found to be prejudicial, the measure is proposed as a check upon the system. It is however expected to Call6e , reciprocal proccAing on the part of this ecuntry. We arc much plc-ascii to learn from the Canada pa pers, that the assembly of the province of Lower Ca nada, have agrced to ri.AL.:vo this country from the ex pellee of its Civil Governincnt. The colony is stated to be in a flourishing condition,.and able to make many internal improvements. The news from France is of two Lads, that con veyed by the public journals, and the communica tions of private correspondence, which is usually, the most interesting. The letters announce the art Jst of the individual who attempted to assassinate the Duke of Wellington. He is a miserable wretch of the name of Castillon, whose motives are yet unknowu, unless we are to credit the story of his being bribed by a set of conspirators in Belgium to commit the net. 'We are unwilling to believe that is the case, though the Duke has certainly nogreat pretensions to popularity with the• French. The character of the nation is at all events by no means exalted by this attempt, The assassin, is seems, we betrayed by a woman with whom he cohabited, and he has hitherto refused to confess any thing. Trout the silence of the Journals on the subject, tis inferred, that the police are in pursuit of others suspected to be accomplices. The private cor respondence also hints that a great change is meditated throughout the military commands, from which all the Ultras are to be removed. It is even said, that Soult is likely to be recalled, as well as some of the other Exiles. The public journals are chiefly filled with the Reports on Finance—that on the Estimates made by M. Roy, and that on the Ways and Means by M. Beugnot. The firmer occupied two .hours and a half; and the latter four hours in reading. Of the real object of these reports, we have spoken in our first article, and we have only to observe, in this place, that dreclarations of poverty come with an ill grace after a resolution to recruit the armies, and we have no doubt that the allied powers will remember this circumstance, in case of any complaints. being made to them respect ing the burthen of the Army of Occupation. The Duke of Wellington and the Duke de Richliea have frequent conferences -respecting the adjustment of the claims on the French. Government. A Congress of Sovereigns, it seems, is to be held in July, either at Frankfort or Dusseldorf, which, it is expected, Lord Castlereagh will attend. There is little domestic intelligence ,of importance this week. There was a Meeting in Palace Yard on Easter Monday, which afforded Lord Cochrane and Mr. henry Hunt tLe opportunity of giving the Electors some practical lessons in oratory. Extract of a letter in the Courier :—" Faris, March 21.—1 n addition to the details I communicated in my last concerning the apprehension of the person that fired at the Duke of Wellington, you may announce the following :—A subscription was collected at Brussels for the purpose of remunerating the person infimious enough to attempt the life of the Duke. Sixteen thousand . francs were already deposited when the person presented himself. It was agreed on either side, that if he were unsuccessful, he was only to receive one half of the amourt. He . fled back to Brussels, after his ineffectual endeavour. Two persons walking in the park in that city were overheard by an agent of the police, exclaiming that it was absurd to enrich a fellow who had not even grazed the pannels of the car.. riage.' This, and the testimony of the assassin's mis tress, are the principal circumstances which bear against the prisoner. The result of the interrogatories is un known. . It is assured, and I believe correctly, that one of the persons examined has confessed, in his exa mination, the day before yesterday, that the assassina tion list was presented to him, but that he refused any concern in it with horror." NVe understand that the Duke of Wellington may certainly be expectedir. England, in the course of next week.—Cortrier. The Venetian MS. latciy purchased by the curators of the I3odlein .Library, at a very large bunt, are safely landed, and will soon be placed in that valuable collection. •Cold remains at 41.

All the theatres of Paris are about to give represen. tations, for the benefit of the performers, clerrive i l of their athuies.hy the late.iire at L'Oderst. IfAit CI! AO A letter from Paris of the I 9th states, that the per. 1 son who fired at the Duke of IVellington is actually its the hands of the police, and communicates the tidlowitsg particulars:—The efforts of the police have been crown. cd with success ; the assassin of his Grace is in custody, yet the police is still silent, because it is believed that he has accomplices not yet in custody. Ilatfollowitg; arc the facts which may be implicitly relied on :—The execrable wretch is one Cantillion or Caintillion, for. merly a soldier, who had taken rellige in Belgium.— This miserable outcast, seduced by the hope of reward, came secretly so Paris to commit the crime in question.; he immediately. got his mustach:os shaved, and set oil without a passport for the Low Countries, but the ~, s en'tlarnaceic would not suffer him to pass the frontiers. Cantillion knowing that the police was after him, fan. cied he would be more safe at Paris than any Arisen else ; die therefore return:d e em/ was arrested in the day time on Monday last. Nothing has yet transpired as to any confessions that he may have made, hut it ap pears certain, tint he has several accomplices or insti gators, some of whom arc already in custody. The Duke of Wellington is expected iu England in die cottr.e of a few days. The frequent discussions which be has had of late with the French Ministers an the sultject of.the liquidations, and of` the removal of the allied troops, are said to le so important, and the situation of affairs at this moment so critical, that it is thought essential for his Grace to come over to advise with his govcrement ot. the matter.—Morniieg Chro. nick. The Emperor Alexander was expecte:C. at Warsaw on thest:sth of March. Great preparations acre making for his reception. The commander of the American squadron in the Mediterranean has requested the Dey of Algiers to give orders to his cruizers, not to take the liberty, in future, of visiting American vessels, under any pretext whatever, because as the plague prevails in the territory of Algiers, it is much to he feared that the contagion may he spread by these visits. He adds, that in case elf refusal he had orders to.. give chase to the Algerine vessels, and to sink them. According to advices from Cor.stantinople, •Mahib ali-Khan, ambassador extraordinary from Persia, had made his public t ntryinto that capital, attended by a numerous smite. lie delivered to the Grand Seignior presents of extraordinary magnificence ; alma:wet them 0- an elephant of initnense size, and richly ornamented. The Ambassador was five months on his journey front Teheran. It was though this stay at the Porte would be of long duration. ••FRAUICFORT, MARCH 17.—A Flanders mail arrived on. Friday night. The following is the only article iu the rapers of any interest.:— " According to the last accounts frcm Paris the va luation of the debts to be liquidated is finished ; they amount to the enortaceis sum of One Thousand Seven Hundred Millions of Francs." M-: Brougham made his grand electioneering entre, on Monday last into Kendal. F. Du Cane, jun. Esq. el Chelmsford, and Mr. Tower ate candidates for Mahlon. James Webster, Esq. of London,. is a .caedidate for the Borough of St. Ives. An application, has been made to Godfrey Higgins, Esq. of . Skellow-Grange to offer himself as a candidate for Pontefract. -.There is sense idea, that Guildoril will be again disputed. THE NORTH PCLE.—It is said that Lord Cochrane has caused s steam boat to be built, in.which he in tends to make a voyage to the -North 'Pole, and from thence to Behring's Strait. • She is tole schooner rig "ed. and will be accompanied by some old collier, laden with coals, as far as Spitzbergen. Fere the coals will be taken into the schooner ; antis the run is only about five days to the Pole, and from thence to Belle ring's Strait nine days; and as it is ietended to make use of rails when the wind is fair, his Lordship is sanguine in hope of being the first to accomplish the north-west passage over the Pole, and thus toget both of the Par liamentary :awards, amounting to e 5,0001. one half of which nearly will be expended in. th.e outfit. The sailing of the expedition ter discovering the North Pole, and the Northern • passage . between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, has been deferred fsr some days longer. Lord Melville -visited the sships at Dept. ford, for the purpose of inspecting their condition, and the efficiency of - their preparations. His Lordship was entertained by witnessing the activity. end courage of the Esquimaux, who goes out with the expedition as an interpreter, in case of any communication with the coast of Davis'•. Strait. This Indian has his canoe on board, with his fishing apparatus. He. is not tall, but his form, though clumsy, denotes great strength. His face is dear and fair ; and being- dressed like an Eng lish sailor, and working with the other men, he might at first view be inistaLen fin- a uutive•of these islands !, but his features are loge, and -the breadth and flatness of his countenance betray his origin. The officers of the expedition seem quite confident that the Dorothea and-the Trent, under the command of Captain Buchan ; destined for the discovery of.the North Pole, will attain their object ; but they. are by no means equally san guinesof the success of the Isabella and the Alexander undmeaptein If •evho•. is instructed to attempt the passage of .Davis' Strait.—rEveling Paper.
