To l'ilAeor.coN, who, we are convinced, has never ceased to 'militate the invasion of bidia— the recent intelligence from that important quarter of our Colonial possessiens, must be as gratifying as to us it is afflicting. Extracts from the late overland dispatches are sail to be preparing for pub. ia order to refit= the public anxiety from the impression which was made yesterday by ru. mours of a most disastrous and alarming tendency. To the report of the effigy of Sir G. 13AeLow having been publicly committed to the flames, was added tint .of the actual deaths of himself, and other Ideaab.rs of the Council. That these reports may have originated in the terrified imaginations of persons connected with Intli.t...and that gloomy conjecture may have been perverted by succeeding parrators into disastrous certainty, is more than probable. If, however, the various• nnitleasatit reports that arc in circulation can be contradicted, - the Public may surely expect to he immediately re lieved by scow of f icial communication on the sub ject. Although me do not yield belief to the re ports in circulation, it will be impossible to Con. vivre the Patine, that much more has not happen. pl " thaq meets the ear," unless the higher au thorities condescend to make some such communi cation. The discontents in India are generally attributed, solely, to the withdrawing of certain advantages from the niilitary- 7 -this may be one source of dis. satisfaction, but we are convinced that it is not the sole cause of discontent. Those who can per. suade themselves into the consolatory belief that sending mit a few regiments, will secure the rest°. rstioo and permanence of tranquillity in our nn. wieldy and tottering Empire, in the Peninsula of India, are, we fear, greatly deceiving themselves. Our Empire in India is hastening towards that disaolitioo, of which the seeds hrre long been sown, within-Leven were there no clanger from without. The attempt on India is ridiculed is vocrical—by those only who suffer their judgment to be deluded, by disk hopes, and wishes. It is, surely, worthy of consideration, whether the man who hiss subdued ths Continent of Ea. rope—and who has at his ootnmind, a physical force, exceeding, in the ratio of 20 to 1, that of ALE;ANnva—may not reasonably hope to Ilene. trate to the Batiks of the Indus. We ire told of (lie obstades and the loss which must attend the cf. fort—ls it possible 4.--that, we are persuaded, is the only point which the French Agents in Asia arc instructed to escertain. If, which we would willingly believe to be improbable, the war be.. tviceo great Britain and 'France should unhappily be protracted, the attempt on India will be the only‘project, on which the armed force of the Continent can be employed. That such attempt will, in the event of the continuance of the war, be made, there really seems no reason to doubt, although the period at which it will be made, may be remote. The very rumour of preparations in Europe for such an Expedition would excite the Native rowers —whose subtlety of intrigue may perhaps, even at this very moment, have lulled our Govern. inent in India into a delusive security. • Among the numerous motives for peace, the pre. •creation of India is not the leasl important. • — •"'ogio'•• — • PARTS, and ntlier Foreign Papers, have been received, but their contents are uninteresting. 'I he late remarkable events at Paris are wholly nonoticed. The Parisians are absorbed in. balls, Otes, and ceremnelei. la Amsterdam, they continue in a state of gloomy, appr,ehensive snipetise. The seizure of some IA Wish vessels is announced. From Austria, we are told that the efforts of the EMPSItOit to repair the losses of the war, are 'nsisst vigorous. By the manner in which these ac counts are noticed in some of the Journals of this metropolis, we shall not be surprised if, within three months, the People of England are qnce snore amused by the anticipation of another Coq. : tistetttol effort. From Spain there is nothing consolatory.— icing Joust is amusing birnself and his ocw subjects with Ma and ceremonies, vtbile the force of the Spaniards is evidently crumbling Into insignificance.

" Colonel Wardle has been prosecuted by Mrs. Clarke, who accuses him of having promised her upholsterer to pay for the furnishing of thu house which she occupied, and of having failed to keep Isis promise. But although the King's people (gcns du roi), appeared to incline towards the condemnation of Colonel IVardk, the Jury acquitted him without hesitation." The dispatches for Bombay and St. Helena will be closed at the India House on Saturday evening. The following are the ships whicl) we understa nd will sail in (be course of the ensuing week, viz.: the atirosisfen, the Earl Camden, the Werford, and lVinchelsca, fur Bombay ; and the Ocean, for St. Helena. The Puny! gun.brig, Captain Sinclair, arrived at Leith on Thursday, from Gottenburgh. During her stay at that place the officers ►►ere obliged to go on shore in coloured clothes. We lament to say, that by this conveyance we have received the melancholy intelligence of the loss of his Majes. ty's frigate the Alexandria, on the coast of Jut land, of whose crew only 80 persons bare been saved. A meeting of the Proprietors of India Stock has been held at the City of London Tavern, for the purpose of taking into consideration the' right which the Directors had of late years assumed to themselves of recommending Candidates to fill up vacancies, whereby the privileges of the Proprie tors were invaded. It was decided that the Direc tors had no such authority. Thu Spanish Papers detail two or three skit. mishes, in one of which Dan JUAN JOSEPH CAIIA.

SPORTING EXTRA ORDiNART. -- On Saturday fortnight, the hounds of Jossrn Cwt., Esq. of Dronfield House, started a fox, which they ran through Barlow township, and killed after a chace of two hours :—the Huntsman, who is so lame that he is obliged to follow the sport on two crutches, was in at the 'death !—(Shejield Iris.)
