Our Couit does all in its power to pre serve its neutrality. In Sweden, the most vigorous preparations are making for war. The whole army is ordered to be ready to take the field, and the workmen in the arsenal are employed day and night. Stral,und is stiq unauacked ; and on the 20th, Mortises head-quarters were yet at Anclam. The King of Prussia has transferred his head quarters from Konigsberl to Wehlau. His forces, with thrne of the Russian General, Tolstoy, amount to near 100,00() men. The former is com manded by General Kalkreuth. The Commandant of Spandau, who retur.:ed to the King atter the surrender tot that place, has been tried by a Court- Martial, and condemned to be shot. ALTOSA, 11SC. 10. Breslau bas' a garrison of 8000 men, its Com mandant is determined to hold out to the last ; on the 9th inst. it was invested by Jerome Bonaparte, with the Bavarian and Wirtentherg troops under his command ; the cannonade commenced the same day, and continued till the 19th without making any impression. The fortress opposed a very vigorous resistance. It is intended to raise the Duchy of Si lesia en matte, which will form an army of 70 or 80,000 men. _ . Letters from Vienna, of the 17th instant, state, that the Emporor is determined not to give up G3l. INI)1.1. The f..inowing extraa o f a Lew from as offi cer to his friend in Edinburgh, throws finther listu on the late disastrous affair at Veneto Madras, July ti, 1566. is Perhaps ere you receive this,letter, the account of the melancholy cat:ism:the which has occurred at %Tenor', will have reached you. I will, however, give you a short sketch of it. The troops. which, at this time, garrisoned Vellore, were six companies of the In Battalion, Ist Regiment, N. I. and the 2,1 Battalion of the 23d Regiment, and four complete companies of Ilia MAJESTY'S 69th Regiment. is On the morning of the 10th instant, about two o'clock, when the moon had just risen, the European Barracks at Vellore were surrounded, and, at every vrindow and door, a heavy fire horn musketry, and a six-pounder, was poured in on the poor defenceless soldiers. At the same instant, the European sentries, and the soldiers at the main guard, and the sick in the hospital, were put to death ; and the Sepo)s then proceeded to the c fii:ers' houses, and put to death all whom they could find. Colo Ivl.litaa who commanded cue of the battalions, was shot when haranguing his man on the parade-ground. Colonel Fa hoover, tile Commandant of the Fort, was shot upcn proceeding towards the main-guard ; and all were butchered wherever they could be found. Lieut. ELT, tight 69tb, with his little son in his arms, were both barbarously bayoneted, in the pre sence of his wife. This scene of carnage continued until about 7 o'clock in the morning, when Iwo offi cers and a surgeon, whose spatters were near to the European Barracks, contrived to get in, and then took the command of the remains of the four corn ponied'. " ['hey made a .ally from the %Tracks, arid got postess:no of the sit•pounder, and fought tieir way :o the gate-way. which a SCli ant Ilaonr, with his European guard, had cou,t gallantly defended • against all the in:Alerts. At the instant AM' half-past seven o'clock in die mornirg, they reacher; the gate, ColOnel GILICIPIE, with about a troop of the 19th Dragoons, had reached the gate, from Ar cot, having left that place about six o'clock. He was hauled up by a rope by &tie= BROD Y's party, and had taken the command, when he intended w hare charged the insurgents with the bayonet; but at this moment, the galloper-guns of the 19th ar rived. The gate was then blown open, and the 19th admitted. " The Sepoys were encouraged by their native officers, to make a stand, but all , were very soon cut to pieces by the 19th ; about Ono were then cut down, and about 200, subsequently taken from hid ing-places, were shot. About pio made their es cape, it is supposed, through the Sally-port, but many of them have been since taken. ‘"l'he cause of this dreadful affair is now investi gating by seven Commissioners, who are now sitting at Vellore. There is no doubt, however, but it is intirely to be attributed to the want of due vigilance in the officer who had the charge of tic Trine-s. The 2d battalion of the twenty-third had been raised a the southward, and was composed chiefly of Col lories. Their oflicers were induced by offers of great reward, from one of the Princes, to be bribed from their duty, and had sufficient influence over their men, to make them join in the plan, which was, to get possession of the lost, and which they calculated on keeping for a few days, when they were to be joined by 50,000 men from Mysore. The standard of Tarot) was hoisted on the Palace, soon after the firing commenced ; and if it had not been for the intreaties of M•aator, who declared the Princes were innocent, Ott Lase ,¢ would have delivered up the whole of the Palace to the enraged soldiery. The cause is also to be attri buted to a code of new regulations, which has oc casioned general dissatisfaCtion through the army. These regulations have introduced a new turban for the Sepoys, similar to a drummer's cap ; have or dered the distinguishing marks cf cast in the fore head to be taken off, and to shave the:r tipper lip, &c. The Mysore Princes doubtless availed them selves of this dissatisfaCtion ; young corps had been removed from thence to Madras, a few weeks before, for refusing to wear the turban. " Lord WILLIAM BLNI I NCK, wisely, immedi ately issued a General Order, doing away those regulations. I inclose a list of the kilicd asd wounded. Major Aamsraosto was killed in his. palanquin, by a volley from the ramparts, when passing along, about break of day, being on his way down to Madras. Paticourt, M.Kereas, 214 Battaliln ; Lieuts.

Council has beesissued to all our shirs of war, to detain and bring in all neutrals bound from one port of France to another, or to any port within the controul of the French Government, where British vessels are not permitted to trade.— The result of this Order is, to place France and the commercial countries under her influence, in a state of blockade. The enemy must have calculated upon this ad of retaliation. The late Decree of BONA. ea RTC, declaring the British Isles in a state of block • ade, in its stria sense, could only be a suojeft of con tempt and ridicule. It was realty meant, and has been acted upon, as an order to all French priva teers, to detain and bring in all neutrals engaged in Btitish commerce, wherever met with. It was for this purpose so many privateers have recently issued from Chetbourgh, St. Maims, and other French ports. 'I hus Bon AP a ate, this man who lately sought ships, colonies, and commerce, who landed himself upon the eve of rivalling the Navy of England, has condescended to carry en a piratical war, and adopt tl.c principles and practice of an Algerine Corsair. It is strange that BONAPARTI, when he issued his frantic Decree against British commerce, did not consider the relative situation of the two countries. He may thunder forth his threats and decrees to his Captains, skulking in their hiding places at B est and Toulon ; hut, after all his wrath and fury arc expended, he will not be found more formidable at sea to England, than the Dey of Algiers. All the mischief then which his privateers can do to British trade, is not a hundredth part of the injury which France mist sest.in by the Order wEich our Co. vernment has now issued. It is a measure 'of dreadful vengeance, which twist annihilate the little that rerna:ns of trade or mccantile spirit in France, and is only in name a Snell s et o f retaliation. It is probable, that at the time wh e y BONaPAatc issued Lis blockading Deere:, L e hoped to commit En3land in hosti!ities with neu. oats, by tempting her to reprisals. Our difErences with America being settled, we have now little to fear upon that head ; and it would be an insult t 3 the good sense of neutral natims to styposei that they must not know to whom the blame attaches. No nation ever exercised its power with more ten. deration and fear of giving offence, than England. Had France po.iseised the same superiority at sea, which she now does upon land, we have only to leak to her crimes and aggressions upon the Continent, in order to form an idea of the injuries which she would have inflided upon neutral trade and commerce. Every letter and principle of the maritime code Romp., a code saneioned by usage, to the p e ,. fedion of which, the talents of great men, a every country, and of all ages, have contribute., would have long since ceased to exist, and in place would be substituted thiestliim and caprice of a tyrant, whose mind is in utter darkness widi re. sped to the science of Trade and Cms mere,.
