The last divition of the forces was larded On the Itth Irmary, acd the final Capitulation, by which General Ea& socr and the whole garr:sun became prisoners of war, was the 6th of February. " It adds considerably to the satisfaction which I feel in tienolicating to year Lordship this important acquisition, to ie able to aequaiot you, that it has bees effected without soy ba o the part of his Majesty's naval service. When the relative species of force which confer thsolighty power possessed by France and Eng -Iml arc considered, it appears abiolutely asto.. that France should so long have been Ftonitted to possess s single Colony. The policy 10 Which Great Britain has afosted to acts has Iren that of the extension of our commerce and tl oar marine, with a correspondent anxiety to . - annihilate those of the sweaty. The natitr i al 1 0 11 obvious means of accomplishing that object was, 00 questiunably, the depriving tints of t hose (Item' points, by the possession of whin ham has f " 10 mane yean continued, is Miasma of our .

In illuitration of this opinion, we would only ask, whether the firing of the Tower gnus fur the Convention of (Antra, the destruction of Flush ing, or the capture of Guadeloupe, by which the security of our Atlantic trade is so greatly increas: ed, will have been most gratifying to the People of England ? A Levvrr..was this morning received from the Constantic transport, dated Motherbanli, l4th :Vlore'', containing the following statement : " The Iloratia frigate has jug arrived off the Needlrs with a prize; also a French frigate whic:i she captured, He lireal, after no action of an hour and 23 minutes. The French frigate is I.tden with nasal stores and has on hoard 100,000 - dollars. She was bound to the Isle of France." THE rumour of war between France and Pe• tersburgb is, as we eipeeted,.dying away. n _ " Srocintetm. FEE. 19. " Notwithitandinz that is mentioned from Germany. hire we entertain no e*pectation of hostilities between France uttd Russia. It is true, that a considerable body of lame vial troops are marching towards Poland; but this mtweinent is not attributed to any other cause than the reinforcement of the Russian armies in Moldavia and Wallachia, which have received a cheek from the Turks on the southern frontiers of those provinces." The only hope to which those sapient illumi nati, who so eagerly anticipate the renewal of Continental carnage, now cling, is, that the in. tended marri•rge between NAPOLSON and the Archduchess MARIA LOUISA, may have been concealed from the Court of Petersburgli Tiz* following letter vias yesterday received from the Brazils :•••••• " Rio Littman, iA s. 16.--Preparationg are making for the recepti.m of 5000 troops and a large naval force, under the command of Sir Sins ev gIIITH, which is expected to arrive shortly, as a special request to that effect has hero made by the Pll iN CU .11 EGE PIT. We have 11 -. I no arrivals from the River Plata since the 15th October, and of course can fermi* yule with no news from thence. Trade is at a NMI from the great glut of produce here. The Llizabeth 'mike war salted MI the 15th instant fur London." r •--rim-- . , ' )(Amu Papers to the 23d of October were • :received yesterday, from which we have made some interesting extracts. The forces of Dow. GUT RAO SCINDIAwere is motion against the pent- Ci panty of Ajoiere. Much plundering had taken place; and tha fort of Gustechind was shortly expected to Surrender. There Ira si late ac counts from 110 LEAR ; but Meta LIMN, accord. lug to the last accounts, was at Bopaltal. The circumstances which led to the attack and i reduction of the important fortified town of Bow. 'annie by our; troops, hitherto unknown.in this country, we find explained in these Papers. Tile contest appears to have been a very sharp one ; the enemy lost from 600 to 1000 men ; that on our sWe did opt exceed in killed and wounded 100. Tns belief of a pulp. overture having been made through the medium of Cie Austrian Messenger, continues to prevail in the .City, where letters have been received from Paris, in which the opi nions of the politicians arc said to correspond with those of London. From flatland also, letters have arrived, in which NAPOLEON is stated to have expressed, an earnest desire for a general peace. Although there are no means by which we can judge of the correctness of these Reports—we conceive it far from improbable that NAPOLEON may have reamed his endeavours to obtain a ge neral Peace. When NAPOLEON last attempted to open a Negotiation, the recognition of FEAOINAND the SEVENTH was demanded by us as a preliminary —while he as pertinaciously insisted on' the establishment of his Brother. With de. elands of so contlicting a nature, Negotiation be. came impossible, and France and England return. ed to the contest in the Peninsula with renewed eagerness. It, however, has so happened, that while credulity in England was buoyed up with the expectation of driving King Jo— sErtt from Madrid, the Rattle of Ocana led the way to those events, which have at last re. moved the doubts of the most sceptical u to the -fate of the Peninsula, which is unquestionably destined to succumb beneath the armies of Fraucn and the strong party in Spain, by whose King Josapu is supported. To demand the ulidiaalos of the Conqueror as a preliminary becomes now t elseer too absurd for even our present Molders. The period which Tux STATESMAN anticipated some weeks ago is, we apprehend, arrival, when Nksoccos will say s. 66 Well, I ant now mister of *the Penin. sula—that stumbling block- to Negotiation I 66 WO removed—will you now treat for Peace ?" We feel perfect conviction that Ministers possess not the talents to mak* Pew. There will Clef with thenajic some stumbting-bluek in the way of Peace: ••• 5 . 1 • 4 • INba INTELLIGENCE. • MADRAS, OCT. 11.—In OCT florkoru of tile, sth current, we noticed is general terms the movements of Dowitry RAO &INDIA against the principality of Ajmeic. gaily in July, accordiug to the Hindustan noWspapers, that Chieftain pitch. cd his camp at filo wza Surrara, a place within ten cuss of the capital: His Sirda.ts, who were still plundering the territory of Jayporc, and the tither Rajpoot countries in the vicinity, had re ceived orders to join him, with their respce tivo forces. The brother of BALI) RAO, it is said, had already set out on his march to wards Ajmere ; NARRAIN RAO (the pritf. cipal Officer in the service of BAPONJ Elt SCIN PIA) had come to Surrara from Sahur, after levying a chout of lii,ooo rupees at the batter place; and BAPO NJ LE himself was shortly expected to follow. Meanwhile, Dow I.VT BAD had directed BATTISTS •to march, with his power, in the direction of Kortns a state which, since his army last took the field, has remained unmolested. BATTISTE, according to the last accounts, was encamped at Mullareea, a place about GO milt* from Jayporc. SCINDIA was. not expected to continue for any length of time in his position at Surrara. PRA xo Doss, the Soohali of Gwallor, had been. employed for some time in besieging the fort of Gurreehind, and had written to Set s DIA, stating that lie expected to reduce it in tbs course of a few days.

[The following account of a desperate action. foneht with a thtilltrof 55 dotes, is ex te acted f the Supplement to the Madras Courier of the 18th of October j The following particulars respecting the cap ture of the ship La Miherva, Captain Jowl Boeewooo, which fell into the hands of the Juasemies, on her voyage from Muscat to Bushire, are taken from the:relatiou of same of the crew of that vessel that made their escape : The Minerva railed from Muscat on the 12th of May, and on the 29th, early in the morning, she discovered at a distance about fifty-five (lows of Juasemies, all full of armed men, slid apparently steering towards her. Captain HOPE' WOOD intinediatel:- changed his course lonia a• heavy press of sail, and thereby endea voured to avoid them, but unfortunately the day . being rather CAIN ail his exertions were in vain ; on .Which Captain Iforewoon then ordered all hands on board, and prepared fur defence. When the Juasemies saw the Minerva chauging her course, they set all sail, and with the assistance of their oars gained very fast upon her, and as they approached fired some guns at her. - At ten a. m. the action commenced, and continued for two days and a night, durilig which time the Mi nerva destroyed 17 dotes ; 19 of which were sunk, And one burnt. At length the enemy gradually closed their draws around the Minerva, and, as soon u they . got along-side of her, the Juaseuties- alt at once boarded! her.

The second officer, Mr. BATE, having lost some of his lingers by a shut, and seeing no hopes of relief t put an cull to himself with s pistol; the ship's company behaved very bravely, and were gallantly assisted by an American Gentleman, Mr. BIJAUN DAVID, On NMI', anti Mr. JOIN MAR TIN, the Supercargo.
