It is with great pleasure we state, that peace per vaded every part of our dominions in the east, on the departure of the Indus. The weather at Ma- eltas indicated rain, and is was expeeed a plentiful season would be the consequence. The Bengal Government fired on the Was, being a fast sailer, so bring the annual accounts for Parlia ment. A ship always sails every year from Bengal, ezpresdy for the purpose of arriving before Christ mas, with these important l'apers. Mr. Pea ItSO PI, in consequence of the death of Governor Durszras, was sworn in as one of the Counsellors at Prince of Wales's Island. The Princess Qingha i and the Ifraisivions packets, are arrived from Lisboa. The former sailed on the sd. and the latter on the 12th instant, ou!y the mail by the forma is delivered. The Weirs.riass sailed from •Falmo , ith on the 4a instant, but Mils not suffered to eider the far i 1 1 111 i r / 1 1 I ' of the 12th. she e ~.~ gas. During the night . _ atteempted to communicate with the shore, but was fired at 'from Fort St. Julian, and prevented from proceeding further. Several persons, however, escaped from the shore, and are come home in her. She has, of course, brought back to Falmouth, the mail which she took out, along with Mr. Cu &magic A IN, and a Portuguese Messeager, with dispatches. The Fez cutter is also arrived at Portsmouth, from the Trtzur, which she left on the 15th. At that time seven Portuguese sail of the line, two frigates, two brigs, and a schooner, were lying in the river, ready for sea. Pert of the Russian fleet, from Gibraltar, had also arrived in the Tagus, consisting of two sail of the line on the i)th, and three sail of the line and two frigates, on the 11th. On the same day also a Portuguese frigate and a merchantman, richly laden, arrived from the Brazils. The Russian ships entered the Tagus under British colours. The Russian squadron that put into Gibraltar, comprised nine sail of the line, and, of course, two sail of the line are unaccounted for. The purpose for which they have entered the Taps is a sub jell of anxious conjiflure. If they stand us need of repairs, they cannot be supplied at Lisbon. as, according to the latest and meat authentic intel ligence, the Portuguese arousals were in a miserable state, and did not contain stores to equip their own navy. If they have not entered for this purpose, or been driven in by stress of weather, their arrival in the Tagus is probably the result of an arrange ment between the French and Russian Govern ments. Is this event, the escape of the For. tuguese Navy and the ROT•L F • WILY. if such were seriously intended, will be complktely frus trated. The Raves sloop is also arrived at Ply mouth, with dispatches from Lisbon. She received a similar treatment as the freisinghons, from the Por tuguese forts. They fired at ter on the lth instant. without effe&. - Lord STRANG'S!) and Mr. Garr ilea were to have come home in the Rarer, but she was driven from off Lisbon Bar, in a ple of wind. and bore away for Oporto. from whence she sailed foe England. Upon the arrival of the Far cutter, at Portsmouth. it was reported there that immediately after the entrance of the Russian Fleet, an Embargo was laid upon all the Eng— lish ships remaining in the harbour, but we doubt that there were any ships for as embargo to set upon. The Lisboa fleet is arrived at Plymouth, and the Openo fleet at Portsmouth. It was also , repert:ll or Wednesday, at Portsmouth, that the intelligence Or ought by the Fes. of the arrival if the Russians in the Tagus. having been communicated by Telegraph to the Affinimity, the squadron of Admiral RIATRS was recalled from St. Helen's. This report, if comet, would rove decidedly that Admiral KRAVIS was destined to watch the Russians. We have received, by the Lisboa Mail, Madrid Gaseitas to theAth Inst. They de not notice the Puselantatiou or Decree relative to the alleged conspiracy of the Prince of ASTURIAS, against the life of his father, the King of SPAIN, which we gave yesterday. The accounts from Lisbon, we understand, are also silent upon the subject. This is the more extraorduary, as the Madrid Papers contain several Official Articles and Al. of Go. vernment. The latest accounts is these Papers, of the French army, under Ceo. Jursor, are dated Bayonne, Oct. 23. The Paris Papers, received last week, brought accounts from Bayonne to the inclusive. The intelligence in the Madrid IPiesetter,, respelling that army, is copied from the hale Papers, and possesses neither interest nor • We have received New York Papers to the 24th last, and Halifax to the 29tb. The PRRSIDINT of She Unrest, Sr•ras has issued a Proclamation. of airing a pardon to all Deserters from the Army of 'lite United States. The Nary is not mentioned. It appears, from the Norfolk Papers. that the 1)a. ' nish Islands are placed by our cruisers, in a state of blockade. A vessel arrived awe. atter a ikon PEW sage from St. Thomas's, brougla an account to that ell& Capt. Sr 'tong, arrived at Norfolk, from Martinique, also reports, that be was boarded of that island by the British frigate Larose. the Capt. of which informed him, that orders bad been received for capturing all neutrals trading Irma French, Spani‘h, or Danish islands to British islands. The Captain of the packet, which has brought the Nor. folk Papers, states, that the trial of Commodore Rimini had terminated before his departure, and that the result was, the censure and cashiering of that Officer. This sentence, the Captain adds, was quite popular, as the general opinion was, that the Commodore had not made an adequate resistance to the attack of the Leopard. Some dispatches to our Minister. Mr. Easaime, have been seised upon the territories of the United States:—they were from Admiral Bsasstry to Mr. Elmira& A Pilot, who brought the packet ashore, gave it to a perssa to (Jury it to the Post- office, which person was prevailed upon by a third person to take it to the °Seed The dartra. a Phila delphia paper, attached to the French cause.' and edited by Duane. The packet was there detained, and, upon formal application being made for it, it was said that it had been sent to Washington ; but on inquiring at the post-cffice, this was found to be entrue. This aifair was much canvassed at the date of the last papers from New York. The Centaur, Sir SAtittlit. Hoots, with General BERZI110111) ou board. attempted to unmoor cn Wednesday, at St. Helens, but the wind continuing adverse, she was unable to proceed. These two gallant Officers will nut come on shore again. With extreme pleasure we announce that the Transport Board have received certain and authen tic intelligence, that the Hope, hospital-ship, baying on board forty-two;wounded men, and the following Medical Staff Officers, viz.—Mr. Roarer JONI!. Surgeon to the forces; Mr.A LIXANDE a STEWART. Apothecary to ditto ; Mr G. T. Avatar, Purveyor to ditto; with Mr. 2 4 441T1W, and Mr. MACOIL.• ooa, Hospital Mates, was not lost, as we have already stated. in the tremendous gale of the 30th of last soonth. but was captured and carried into a place caHsd Camphiel, on the Dutch coast ; the whole of the baggage of the above Officers, which was washed on shore, appears to have been thrown overboard during the chase, to lighten the vessel. No doubt whatever can be entertained of the above statement. Another letter we have received, informs us that the Hope was captareloff the Dutch coast. Doc tor, STLWART, MARTIN, and hiacoasooa, are now on their parole In Holland. We announced yesterday the loss of the Princes, of Wale, packet, and the Rockdale brig, Hooosos, on the 19th inst. apes the South Bull, in Dublin Bay. The crew and troops en board the Rsch.lais, amount ed to 67 persons, of whom not one was saved. She was one of three transport, with part of the 97th regiment on board. formerly called the Queen's Germans. bound for Liverpool. The people on board consisted of Major O'Goastocsos, of the 97th; two Lieutenants, six Sorjeants, two Drum. users, cue hundred and teventyeight privates, forty • nine women, and thirty-four children—total two hundred and sistysevsn. The Mary, of Greenock ; the Trial, of Newry ; and another ♦essel. name unknown, were also lost in the Bay of Dublin, with all their crews. On the following day, the toth, the shore presented a frightful scene. From Dunleary to Blackrock, it was almost literally co vered with the dead bodies of men, women, and children. The Cork Paper of Wednesday the 18th, says— " The expedition in this harbour will sail, when the arrangements for its aspartame are completed, under the command of General Baraasroan. The order for tJ•e disembarkation of the Sd Foot, or Buffs, has been countermanded. It is not known whether it will have the co-operation of any ether force."— Sir S. SRI T lei squadron, which sailed from Plymouth on the 11th, it was said, would touch at Cork, and join the expedition there; but as he bad not ap peared so late as the 18th, he is probably gone direll for his destination, which report now states to be Sicily. ,—.....--- Government determined, yesterday, upon the formation of a new Board, or Committee, for the . , management of maps, charts, and drawings of Islands, Harbours, Ste. comprising all necessary nautical and geographical intelligence, for the use of the Admiralty and Navy.
