Armstrong, who just at the instant was passing over the Glaris, on his way to Madras, to take his passage for Europe, was killed in his palankeen. An Officer, who was flying with his child in his arms from kis quarters, WAS slaughtered, With the infant. in at manner too shocking to he described. His wife, with the other English ladies of the gar rison, was spared by the mutineers. The refraflory battalions kept possession of the garrison for mote than two hours ; and the followers of the Princes of Mysore, who were detained as pri . toners in the Palace, hoisted the Mahommedan flag in the intet val. Intelligence was given, on the first appearance of the mutiny, to Colonel Gillespie, at Arcot; who, within an hour after the receipt of the information, appeared before the gate of thy fort, with a squad ron of His Majesty's 19• h Dragoons, having pro ceeded the distance of 13 miles in less than an hour. The gate of the garrison was blown open by the Gallopers, and the Eutopean troops bad immediate access to the fortress, and, within a few minutes, put the whole of the mutineers to the sword. Not a man is said to have been saved. The Moorish Flag was instaetly struck ; and it was with some difficulty that t .e European troops could he restrained from storming ::ie Palace, where - the Ids soman Princes wete contihed, from an im p, e:sion, that the people wit his had favoured the Native Troops engaged in the revolt, Liens Col.

It is added, however, that see. sal stands of arms, end a quAn , ity of ammunition, have since been dis c.-erred wi bin the walls of the raiser ; a eircum . st•oce which has given vie to a suspicion, that the docontelits of the Native Troops bad been tomi-nred by emissaries from the palace ; and that All inquiry had been insttluted in order to ascettain the • P:IRLIAAILNT.

The Letters for the Nwth were pe►- mitaed to be landed. Much inconvenience must necessarily arise to the commercial part of the com munity. in consequence of this determination. The King of DLtiMAlllClias, no doubt, aged thus to con ciliate the French Government. The adjustment of our differences with America, we un.lerstand, is upon the eve of completion. One of the principal subjeas of complaint, regardful,: the Colonial trade, has, it is, said, been finally settled. In the year 1716, it was estahlished, that neutrals should be restriEfed to the same commerce with a belligerent, which was allowed to them by that power in a time of peace. Now Franco, in time of peace, prohibited all importation di. reilly from her Colonies, camps in French bottoms, and, therchre. if It were to be allowed to the Ame ricans, rcniing a war between France and Eng land, the Americans would be pat in a better situation than they 'okayed in time of peace, act acquire an interest in t:.e prolongation of the war. It is. however, an established tad, the. in the present war, the American merchants have, in several instances. carried the prudent of the French Colonies in the West Indies, theca to France. in A •nt ricin bottoms; and that, in num. rens cases, where they afetted to observe the cram prescribed by the principle and in allice of the martturne law. secb observance was only colourable. Thu condua. so the pan of the Americans, was one cause of the as9;vity of our cruisers, whreb gave so much offence to the United Stites. and e•n• tributed to excite an angry feeling between the two warawies. Tbe Americans contended on this paint. that ibs rale of was lamed hi policy and tow a fair and adaitha preteima. British Ministry in.1A01,103-she deLiiians British Crwe, the produce of the Colonies of the enemy nidy ba imported E by a neutr..l into his own cottatir. And be re-exported front thence, even to the mnther country nt such Colony $ and also that the landing the g m. 1., and paying the duties in the neural country, breaks the continuity of the voyage, and is such an importation as legalises the trade, al though the g be re-shipped in the same yes. set, and on account of the ;eine neutral proprietors, and lot warded for sale to the mother country. sow, sunn,inj this statement to be correft on the Part of the advocates for America, we contend that it would not be a decisive ans.ver ; for one part of our complaint was, that the carriage of the produce of the French Colonies t America, and thence to Europe, was executed in a fraudulent manner ; that it never was landed in an American port ; that it did not pay duty there ; and that the voyage was, in fad, one continued voyage to Europe. It is said, that our Ministers have consented to relax the rule of 175 ii, and to parrnit the circuitous trade with the belligerent through America, with due precautions that the colonial pro.lnce shall be aCtually landed there, pay duty, and be re shipped, and that the only point unsettled iv, whe ther the duty shall be one or two per cent. The Agents of Oppositi m, arguing upon this arrange men', as a matter of fa& load it with reproae‘es. their cry, their watchword is, " War rather than concessions." " TM.," they say, " should be our Motto. This is not the time to make concessions." W e ,hall snag end our ju.lgment until the whole ease is before the puh:ie, and shall only observe at pre sent, that it is the most extraordinary doelrine ever advanced. Upon the same principle, these Writers Itare condenonel the condian of Government, in su , nuining our differences with America, to Miuis- I tens oa bath sides, to adjust them ; for that rtrn .11,111,1 meet to settle differences amicably, with a positive determination, upon one side, to concede nothing, is an absurdity. We have been favors-ed by a Correlposndent with a Report of the trials of 66 The Titre' hers," by Special Commission, at Cavan, which is given in our sub sequent columns. It throws some light upon the views of these disturbers of the peace in that country . We have received Buston Papers to the 6th of December; the contents of which are of consider able importance. Colonel Bunn surrendered him self at Lexington, in the state of Kentucky, on the 9th of NOVIIMI:tcr, and was to be brought to tri4l ia the Distritt Court, with all possible expedition. The Order for taking the Negociation Pipers into consideration, stands for this clay in the House of Lads. Lord Gessvitte will move this day, in the Home of Lords, for leave to bring in a Bill for the Abolition of the Slave Trade. Admiral M • 's squ.tdroa sailed on Wed nesday from Portsmouth. The Tat on Pig Iron, and on private Breweries, under certain mudificat,ons, will form a part of the Ways and :Traps fur the year. The. Minister, it is ramisured, is determined to c.n.ry them. liy the death of Sir Groats: BO L l'o%. the CA -111 ..ship of S:.Vincent's, 3001. per annum, is vaunt. Tne Freiszlt Minster to the United Seater, it is mentioned, haiectiressed an inclination to rescind the rogniatien by which Ainefilail ships are prohibited from trading to Hayti. Congress met on the lit of December, but no tie errant of the proceedings had reached Boston on the 3.h. The nest arrivals will probably bring us the President's Message. The President has issued a Proclamation, in which he declares, i• that he has information that some Citizens of the United States are preparing an ez pedition ariinst the Spanish dominions, and calls train all otficers is be vigilant in seeking and bring ing to justice all persons concerned in preparing for such entrapetze." lie Dutch already feel the pressure of burdens which they ate deprived of the means of bearing. it is even said that their dykes are falling to decay for want of funds to keep them up, and it seems as if tyranny were about to give back to the w Ives that domain which liberty and mdustry wrested frum diem.

The House, in laying down General . Roles, WAS not, however, to be considered as surrendertng its discretion, in 4ranting further tim'e, when it was deemed expedient and necessary to infringe them In several instances, where syfficierit reasons had been assigned for pro crastination, the House had unitormly complied, and no inconvenience WAS found to have arisen from it. He, however, could not help thinking, that the House ought not to relax from their general Rules, lightly, or for trivial cruses. These Regu i lations being enforced strietly, would be attended with great convenience to public business, besides being advantageous to Members themselves, and agreeable to their Constituents. He then moved, " That there should be a Resolution of the House, that no private Bills be received aft: r the ‘26th of March; and no Reports presented after the I Ith of May, and that said Resolution be printed and cir culated, so as to be made known to every Member." Viscount Howick afterwards added, that he should only prop ise to make this Motion annual, and it found henelici il in expediting business, wii hoot in convenience. it might he renewed rich ye tr. Mr. JOHN'S FONE said, hoe was not disposed to make any resistance to this Mot:. in ; but he could not help observing, that it was founded upon a sort of inference, which did away a great part of that im portance which the Noble Lord seemed to attach to it. He had rin4 stated, that thete were thirty-four private Bills presented alter the King's Birth-day, but had not shewn that any inconvenience bed arisen from that alleged irregular delay. He thought that the objea of the Motion might, upon several occa sions, not only create inconvenience to the parties, but also the agents they might think necessary to employ. Mr. BRAGGE BATHURS I' said, he could not think that the object in view was an unaecessary Aft of legislation, as it- was only following up the principle of farmer regulations. Whenever any fault was seen to exist, it surely became tile House to provide some remedy to prevent its future recur rence. It therefore appeared to him, that unless some private or public reasons were assigned for oh to it, tlie -*stir% ort..tht to be assented to. Mi. FULLER said, lie hoped that the Motion now proposed 'would have the effaa of 'ha:testing the session altogether, by expediting both public and private business. Were it to have that rife& it would be attended with- great convenience to the co entry Gentle.nen, by allowing them to retire to th‘country for the purpose of making money there, if they did not mean to endeavour to melte money by remaining in that House. (A tale.) Atter a few additional observations, toe Motion was agreed to. Mr. HOBHOUSE brought up the Report of the Committee of Ways and Means, the Resolutions of which were read and agreed to, and Bills ordered to be brought in. in conformity therewith. The First Report of the Commissioners of the Carnatie Accounts was presented. and ordered to lie on the table. Oa the moti , .,n, that the Oak Bark Bill be read a leased time. Lsrct FOLKSTONE said, he was far from dis approving of the pritunple of tfte Bill ; but he cold slot help thinking. that there might be some ad vantage from delaying the second reading, for a week or two, so that those Gentlemen. whose eon sti:stelits were materially interested its its cnnse quencts, might be aware of its nature. He then pi oposed, as an amendment to the motion, to sub sthute this day for Lniglit. .Mr. VANSITTAR f, who had brought in this Dill, said, ha had no übjeEtion to postpone it to Noway. which was agreed tn.—Adjourned.
