iiii.; ater-aily express their joy at the completion Of a ter. ice, the estreme hardships and privations of which veretel only hove been repaid by the brilliancy of its s s ernitea•isro. A fen' companies were en ga ge d in with. g the guns and stores from the positions re cently occupied by the troops of the division. From the untoward nature of the ground, this was an ope. ration of great difficulty. Malown itself is repre. sewed as being a miserable hole, small and filthy ; basing reedy a scanty supply of stinking water. • • Letters of tlte 22d ult. from Jytuk, state, that on the rveniesg of the 21st, Runjour and Isis followers ~deed nut from that fortress with one gnu, their terms, sold private property. • Upon possession el. t he fort being taken by the troops under Gen. Martin. dell, immense quantities of ammunition and• muskets were dim. overed. Several guns, of small calibre, wee,• fotittil in the outworks. We have already said, hat steel( .des were much weaker than had been I•re'i. u,iy conjectured from distant view. The fort was a ice of smell elimensines, and of little or no st resseth. It and its outworks were occupied by the twee thisit compapies of his Majesty's 53d, and se. veral companies of native troops, under Major Coult. van. Preparations were making for dragging the guns dower to Nahuti ; they would probably descend the pass on the 24th. The late garrison consider ,ed itself extremely lucky in hating obtained terms so exceedingly favourable, and confessed, shut had hostilities continued only a few days . longer, it must hive surrendered at discretion. Dying of famine, it had no strength to fight ; and every attempt to fly must haveettaed in its utter destruction, surrounded as it was on all sides, with a large Circe in the Mon, ready to intercept the fugitives. The same terms ehich had 'been granted to Umr Sing and his son, and to Bum Sib, by Colonel Nicolls, had been offered to 13uhktawer aed Rondeep Kajedes. the Chiefs holding Sreenugur and the eastern parts of the Guhrwal dia. trict. The battalion, which hail heeds scattered through Jauntier and the western division of Gram wil; had been ordered to assemble in the Dooalt of the Georges ; and to repair to Terve Ghent, on the Bhagrutty, whence k would proceed directly to. wards Sreenogur. Major Balelock was already there with four companies and about S(X) irregulars; and lifter the arrival of a mountain train proceeding from Nahon, could easily reach Sreenognr in three marches. The detachment under Colonel Carpenter was still encamped in the Doon and if ordered to fireenugur, would hive to surmount the Bodraj onge, end Deoprag, before retching Teree. No four-footed auimal, excepting goats, can traverse these stupendous mountains. It wes . believed that immediately on the setting in of the rains, the va. 'risme detachments at Eyru, and other adjacent places, 'would tease the low, and unhealthy lands of the Doon, and retire to the forts situated on the summits 'of Ale hills in Jannsar and Gurhwrd.

The Richt !len. the Governor-Generel gave a grand military fli3llltl on Tuesday to his Excellency the Comte eadcr-in-Chief, on his return from the camp; and on. Thursday his Excellency gave a party at the Ameer Ming, which was attended by a numerous circle of the rank arid beauty of Madras. Several changes; and promotions are shout to take place iss the fleet. CArptite Harper, of the 'A ne, has been appointed to the Wellesley, new 71, just finish. ed at Bombay, and daily expecded to condo round to A•ledras. Captain Allen, of the /haste, has been posted into the Tyne; and Lieut. Campbell, of the Minden, is to be appointed to command the Hecate. Thee appointment to the Vesper, toteint by the death of Capt. Ilieldelph, has not yet been tilled up. Letters from Calcutta mention, that considerable sickness orevailed among the 'troops at Nepaul.— considerable sickness likewise prevails among the troops recently engaged in the Clllldilll war. JULY 4..--The whole of his Majesty's ships which were In the Roads, have, with the exception of the Atenon, sailed for their several destinations. 'fee Ceres, which sailed from Calcutta so lung back as the 17th of April, and for whose safety appreherd. sions were entertained, arrived in the Roads, all well, on Sunday. A meeting of the inhabitants of this Presidency was holden at the Exchange on Thurs. day, for the purpose of taking into consideration the expediency of laying before Parliament, in respect. ful petitions, the grievances instanced here by the operations of the New Post-Office Act. The peti tions were prepared and engrossed in duplicate, for thanignatures of those who may adopt the sentiments, of the meeting, and ordered to he transmitted to the house of Bruce, Bezett, and Co. for presentation. FL AND RS MAIL. . C , &i.oeve„ Nov. 4.—We learn that Prince 131sacher's headquarters gill soon be removed to Prussian army will be disposed of in four Bees ; the first of 30,000 men, commanded by Gen.; Kleist, remains in France; the second will occupy the fortresses ; the third, commanded by General ' Ctioisenati, will be stationed in the new possessions of the Kieg on this side of the (thine; the fourth will be stationed behind the Rhine, and extend its cantonments to Erfurth. These four corps will be so connected together that they will be able to uuite on the first signal. BERLIN, OCT. 26.—The Provincial States of Prus sia hare sent a Petition to his Majesty while he was still at Paris, begging him to allow the regiments of the Landwehr to return to their country, since by their institution their only object was to defend the frontiers. At the same time they entreated the King . . in be pleased sonarto put in execution the new Con: slitution which he promised after the peace. 1' is nnid that Mr. Justus Gruver was to present this Petition. • BRUSSELS, Nov. 6.—The town of Namur has at this moment a garrison composed of nat . I troops and of Prussians. The Belgians are in barracks, and the Prussians lodged with the inhabitants. A considerable part of the Prussian ar.rnyuhich is going to leave ' , ranee will cense down the Meuse by regu lar marchesi and repair to the Prussian provinces on bash banks of the Mime. • Tie two (Meets to the Stott, whom the Freocb Commendest of at scot to Paris fur THE STATESMAM instructions, have remitted to the fortress with orders cote.

Chailemont will be occupied on the l6fli of this month in the morning, by the Prussian troops under Prince Augustus, whose head-quarters are at Petit Giro. STU FIGARO, OCT. 26.—People's minds here be come snore (tempi,. The enlightened men whom the King has charged to negotiate with the States, inspire general confidence; there ate among them Mr. Federb,ich, the Learned Publiciste, and the Councillor of State, M. Watigerheitn, author of a judicious essay on the ancient Constitution of WO temberg. The agachment of the States to this an. cient Constitution, consecrated by tlie experience of centuries, must do honour in the eyes of Europe to .these wise and faithful Representatiresof thenation ; but the desire of making some changes in it, cannot h attributed to despotism, since his Majesty has for mally declared, that his only object is to adapt this ''old Constitution to the new Proviiices, which base a right to as favourable a Constitution es the ancient doraioionv; however, as the King observes to the Slate% unity in the forms of Government is necessary to the well-being of the kingdom. The Deputies had printed out of the kingdom the 'extract of the ' Register of their Proceedings ; the King has bad the wisdom to allow it to circulate freely. Setetal other circumstances announce a conciliation of the opinions ' of the people and the Government, which alone can insure real liberty. The happy result is chiefly due to the intervention of the Mince Royal. Faysetrostv, Nov. 2.—The Austrian Observer, of the '27th October, publishes the Proces Verbal of ' the Conference of the II October, which is enough I to confirm its authenticity ; it adds, '• The labours mentioned in articles 2(1 and :id are ended, and the Proces Verbal of the Conferences on this was signed the 16th. Thus the principal Treaty is now draw. nog up, and the Subsidiary Convention, and may soon i be signed." Paris. Nov. 6. The repressive laws lately enacted by our Cham bers are excellent in theory, but will not he easily re duced into practice. In fact, in the present stale of things, little more than decnotistrations can be made. The spirit of parties is far from being subdued. It is less perceivable by foreigners, owing to the silence of our press, but it is not on that account the less for midable to our Government. It was fondly imagined,. that the mere legal denouncement of vengeance against the disaffected and the serliiiaus would strike them dumb with terror, and restore that tranquillity alone compatible with the recovery of our internal prosperity and the security of the Throne. These expectations still remain unrealised. Instead of being appalled and shrinking from threatened punishments, the Ja cobins (for all the Anti- Bourbonists are now classed under that appellati ) seem to have increased in boldness. They openly set our new laws at defiance, and many of them have appeared in the Thuilleries with wafers on their lips, in deri sion of the constitutional Decrees framed to seal their lips, and repress the improprieties of their conduct. This is a new mode of offending, which eludes the penalties of the law, and is not less mischievous than their former clamours. Our legions are forming again, but notwithstanding the • ardent wish of Government to employ none but loyal Tell, the population has been too dreadfully thinned by our mournful victories and reverses, to allow of the army being entirely new created. Commissions are necessarily given to Officers known to have espoused the cause of Bonaparte since his return in March, and whose fidelity, notwithstanding the new honours conferred upon them, must always remain problems. tical. Regiments are formed lit a new mode, but not of new soldiers. The men are collected from different corps, so that but little acquaintance can exist among them. It is thus hoped to prevent fresh cotaspiracies t but although the men may be onac quainted with each miler, the same spirit prevails amongst them, and will easily prove a bond of union, in any plan of revolt. In fine, all we are now doing is, 1 fear, little more then smoothing the ashes which cover the mouth of a volcano, not extinguishing its dames or disarming its fury. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. Paris, 'Nay. 3. The greatest vigilance and activity prevail among the British troops, since their occupation of the ca pital and its environs. From the general orders of the Duke of Wellington, it would appear that the French are not expected to remain quiet. The mili. tary precautions which his Grace has ordered to be obseried, are much more strict than whilst the troops were in camp ; the officers cannot Absent themselves, under any pretence, from their quarters during the night ; but the most marked circumstance is, that alarm posts are assigned to every regiment, to which they are to repair instantly in case of attack. Mont. Martre is occupied by the 4 4th Regiment, and Patis by several battalions of the Guards. Fresh measures have been taken to oblige French utficers to leave Paris; a considerable number of them was arrested (luting the week for appearing in public, without permission to reside in the capital.— Upon_ being questioned why they caw 4o Puri*, they declare that it is the only place in which their lives are safe; that in the departments they are perpetually exposed to assassination ; the probability, however, LONDON: LATIJR;)AY, NOVEMBER 11, 1815. is,' that their lose of gamsli rig is she great incitement ; the great majority of the disbanded officers have no , We have received the Paris Papers of Tuesday lest, other means of subsistence than the gaming table.— !
