The communication be. tweets Candy and Badula is not open, and the posts that were formed between these places have lately been withdrawn in consequence of the number of men lost in keeping it open. The Tassels a r e n o* conveyed by Ihnbanlotte, and from thence are re gular ;mite to Badula. Many men have been lost ; Lieutenant Steiger is the only officer killed ; he was shot dead by a musket ball. Major de Litre went from Trincomalee to Kernieel, in the seven Cordes. with a large detachment, and was severely wounded hy.a ball, which broke to pieces his right arm, clpse to his shoulder he now lies at Keinigal; and so dangerously ill, that he cannot be moved ; however, the accounts last received are rather favourable: he had four Europeans killed and four dangerously wounded, besides several natives wounded. By the report, we hear he, had. actually to fight his way through thousands of armed Candler's. You will riot be surprised to hear that treachery has been dis covered in the whole of the Chiefs and head men, except Motleugodde, the, first Adigar. These have been at the bottom of the whole business from the beginning. Elleapolle, who was supposed to be our friend, is the chief rebel, and is in close confinement in Csorly, as well as some other headsmen ; but many of great influence have made their escape and joined the Rebels. It is now acknowledged by the Gover nor that they were deceived, and that there is no such man as Doug-Jame. The Pretender is a priest, but only acting for some of the othei Chiefs. Aline 1,500 Seapoys are arrived from the coast, and 5,000 Corlies are on their way ; the latter are to be formed into three corps exactly on the same footing as the Coolie corps was in the former war. But we have not yet troops enough. The Csodions are now be. come so brave and so etasperated easiest our Go. vernmeut, and their plans are so well laid, that it will require a very large force and very great re sources to regain even military possession of the country. By accounts yesterday received, it appears that at Candy,v least, many of the houses were set on fire on the night of the sth, and on the troops assembling they were fired upon on every side from the hills, the Candians actually iiiing inro the town. Such is the state of affairs at present. The plan of destroying all the grain and fruit trees in the neigh bourhood of Badula seems to have been completely carried into effect. It is, however, a dreadful mea sure to be obliged to resort to in a country which in the best of times does not produce nearly food enough for its own inhabitants. We are at a loss to know where our Government will find 'he enormous sums of money that will be requisite to carry on such a system of warfare; and what benefit can be derived from keeping possession of a country, ell the inhabitants of which, high and low, are :o en raged against us ? We suppose some enquiry will lake place in England, as to the measures which have led to this melancholy state of things on this isl and." on his Royal Highness witl to of her PA AJE ST/ill!!vegt 4 i; figOvel.

MILKAN." On Tuesday night, her NlArcrri was much better than she was on the preceding one; her cough was less troublesome than it had bean for some days, and s►e enjoyed a long, and,appareutlytrefreshing sleep. Throughout yesterday she remained, if any thing, a little better; but the improvement was so slight as to be almost imperceptible. She wu removed from her bed-chamber, rather earlier than usual, and at a lAte - bour she had not manifested any, particular degree of weariness, or complained of any of her former symptoms. The PluscEssEs pursue their improvements in the plantations with ardour. Their Royal Highnesses were on the lawn yesterday morning, in the midst of the wo , kmen, before half-past nine o'clock ; and again at intervals throughout the whole day.
