INDIA. BENGAL INTELLIGENCE, Nov. 96, 1109. - the Isle of Fr The English prisoners in , at France latterly been exposed to very severe privations. In coesequence of the general scarcity of provisions, 'their eillowairee of 14 dollars per mouth had be come quite inadequate to their mainterance, and in addition to this inevitable hardship, the re straints upon their persons bed latterly, with a few exceptions, been more rigomusly enforced than ever. Captain Flinders was still on the island ; he was permitted to reside, on his parole, with a French family in the canary, and had for some time past been treated with tolerable The Market for prize goods at the Mauritius, contented, as might he expected. extremely heavy. Some pearls found op • huard„the Margaret, were the (nib. article of usereisalubse which for • long time had experienced a quick sale.—Snips of Soo tens had been dirposeef of to the Arabs for Pi or 17.000 dollar.. The Arab ships in their passage to Muscat .tessichetl at the Island of Zatiptwir, where they ' found a fast sailing French privateer, of about iu guns, lying at anchor. There hod not been any vessel arrive from Ame rica for above four months. French wine, of the very meanest quality, was not to be bud wider a dollar and a quarter per bottle ; sonsethio4 hail been done towards misting provisions within the island. Upon that source of supply. the inhabitants would soon be to depeud—si-ere it only possible to maintain the blockade in equal rigour, throughout the whole year, a single hurricane, such as not unfrequently visits that quarter of the world, %sunlit then be the ',certain precursor of misery isud famine to the ' people of the Mauritius. I • had THE BRITISH PRESS. LONDON, THl:Epi4o4.4ii 4. e have rereived'o=ers to the 27th, but they give no accounts of the movements of the re spective 'armies, nor indeed any military intelli gence not previously known through the medium of the German papers. The Duke of A VERSTA nr, (Marshal D'Arocsr,) in a Proclamation to Its Army—reptuits, as has been frequently boasted by the French Agents, that France " will he sup. ported by the Emperor ALA NDER, who is faith ful to his engagements in peace or war." That BONAPARTe. has not been prevented by any indisposition of body, :roin pressing forward, with his accustomed and characteristic velocity, towards the theatre of war, we now know with certainty, from the Dutch and other continental papers. It appears that he arrived at the place of the Duke ut W IRTEMBERG, for we assuredly do not acknow ledge the kaisg/g title of this Privet , , conferred, or more properly forced on him, by a revolutionary usurper of France, at Ludwigsburg, on the night of the 13th of lest mouth. From thence he was to puriviie his journey on the follooidg tiny, at noon, towards Dillingen on the Danube, where he would doubtless be oa the morning of the 17th, and where he would find hie ally, the King of Bavaria, waiting his approach. They were still, nevertheless, at a vrry considerable distance from the scene of action ; and even allow ing every thing which can be supposed in favour of NAPOLEON . . talents, rapidity, and hollow ; yet it is hardly possible that eleven days after, the French were celebrating a victory at Boulogne, *lilted ili Barissia ‘ oriar Ode witrinus, Indeed, the army of Besiareerr .teeinsunt to lease attempted to oppose the advance of the Archduke Cireumai in the di rectimet WOOdirViirir It IA :hey, if they are to the a,* 401 e 4,144Ji1g.7 a . 6'rilierl from the gates #filliatisbou to the keeling,* Saxony, across the Upper Palatinate.

When we retied on his immense superiority in tactics, rapidity , science, ge nerals, artillery, troops, experience, and all the ac companiments of war, above the enemy whom he is about to combat, we cannot speculate, without ap prehension, on the consequences of the present rup ture, Of the dispositions, or rather of the intentions of Russia, Saxony, and Pt ussia, we know little, mid can only conjecture from appearances. From tt Noititesir" of the 19th, we learn, nevertheless, some curious facts relative to the interior of the Aus trian States. Every thing appears to be in action, more peculiarly in Bohemia. Oasis and S•rum, two men whose talents NAPULLON dreads, as they may expose his revolutionary arts, are said to be engaged, at Prague, in drawing up Mani festoes. But the epithet which this imperial Jacobin affixes to Count STADION, the Intendant-Gen:oat of the Emperor FRANCIS, is above all remarks We ; he is denominated the Tom Paine of Gerineny." BONAPARTE, who, by insensible gradations, has ascended every step of the ladder to its highest point, never fails, as limperor and King, to stig matize all the adherents of equality or of republi canism. It is clear that Tlllll would find no asp s loan or. protection at the Tuilleries or at St. Cloud. Late CROMWELL, NAPOLEON desises to reinstate and to re-edify the monarchy, only substituting the li race of A., sccto for thellouse of BOURBON. WS pities cares, and princely munificence, directed with pa ternal solicitude towards the education of the female French Nobility,. have impelled him, we see, to revive the mouaktic establishment founded by Ma dame de MAINTI:NON and Louts XIV. a century ago•at St. Cyr, se celebrated at that time. But us the Corsican, though he imitates the essence, al ways changes the name, or the place of his insti tutions; so, in this case, it is at St. Dennis, and at a seat of the Prince De CONDE, that he lias founded, or meditates to found, a Nunnery for Noble Ladies. He has, however, at present, other occupation, both Oil the Danube am: on the Tagus. Our next iutelligence from each of those sin:niers will be awfully interesting. While the fate of Europe trembles on the beam," sod at a moment when it is too possible that Austria, like Spain, may be subjugated to a revolutionary tyraut, or assigned to one of his bro thers or Generals ; it is at least some consolation to turn our view towards Asia. We mean towards British Asia, the most precious portion of the Empire. Happily, ever since the recall of Murquis Wt.e.Lestxv, near fotir years ago, that couixtr), exhausted by wars of ambition, no less than by do mestic profusion and expense, has been slowly, but progressively recovering. The reductions and re liana begua by Sir GEORGIC BARLOW, have bees prosecuted by the present Governor General, Lord MINT°. The Compauy's Paper, which, in Inna and I -tOS, was at a considerable discount, and fall ing drily lower, new bears a premium. Tranquil lity reigns from the mouths of the Ganges, to Dehli, Agra, and Labor. On the coast of Coro mandel, the predatory attacks of the French psi vateera, in the Bay of Bengal, constitute almost the only iuterruption to their repose. Governor DyNCAN, at Bombay, treading in the steps of Lord Mist°, has already paid off a debt of 58 lacy of rupees, or 7i;00001. sterling, while his measures or arrangements in -Gussuat have augmented the Company's annual revenue from that valuable peninsula. Nor have either the Governments of Bengal, or of Bombay, particularly the latter, which, from its local situation is more able to exert an influence over Persia, been inattentive to coun teract the plaus of our Corsican foe at the Court of FATAL' SCHAD. Box srartre, while he has lost his " s h ip., colonies, and commerce" in the West, is not apparently in a way to acquire other substi tutes in the East. The island of Carek, in the Gulf of Persia, has, indeed, we believe, been no minally ceded to France, by the present Giivern inent of Scheme ; hut, either to take, or to retain I ossession of this small settlement, is eat easy, without • superior maritime force. Even the islands of Mauritius, though we cannot uttack them, have suffered very severely from the blockade of our ships of war. Neither in the West Indies, nor beyotal all.: Cape of Goad Hope, can Na en- LEON at present look for support in his ambitious projects. The pressure ng other matter prevented us from making any ob,ervutioun upon the late Meeting at the Crown and Anchor, until this day. Every good and disinterested man must regard it with com placency, wlitle the venal and corrupt consider it as • sentence of death passed upon their hopes and their views.—From the moment that the present Ministry clone into - power, the watch-word to their retainers appears to ha►e been " Abuse whim you please. sad what you please; but take care that your abuse and slander he all directed to the great puriorw of keeping us whLi•e we are."— Lookin4 to the uniform conduct of the base and sordid pert of the public press, whose offers of ser vine were indignantly rejected by the present Op position, when in power ; but which the pretietit Ministers have eagerly inlisted into their cause ; we may fairly presume that they consider this to he their strict line of duty. lbw else comes it that giaim Tht Courier, the leader of th e herd owiN , Se mos, 111 vociferous against the Duke of Yolks, against the King's Son, and stilhis the sea, upon which the halcyon builds its nest, the moment when due storm visits the Nhuistreirl ovoid, and threatens to sweep, as we trust and believe it yet will sweep Lord Cis.

Si. much fur the piiiiti directly suleeivieut to the Minist.es. There is another set. at the bead of which is that henna. ingenuous, and disinterested patriot--Conan r. The object of this political importor, the rely sonilication of every thing that is sordid sod set r., is to make himself of consequence ; and, being dreaded mill despised by bath Ministers and Op position, he labours to woke a third party, ael grow into consequence as a follower of Sir F Li eels BURDETT. The Baronet and his friends he flat lets and cajoles, and would turn to his purposr, precisely as he flattered and cajoled the late 'infer turiete Mr. PAULI., whole he afterwards besely de serted. All this man's hopes are upon a third party, and, consequently, the dread 4 the return of ilielate Ministers to office is to him intolerable. Front the weakness of the present Miuisters, he flatters himself that they cannot last long ; but the Opposition he knows possess strength and talents, end he labours harder to prevent theni co ~, i, ig than he would do to turn the present llliuistrrs out. liaviug thus sioticed the sources of supptet which Ministers derive front the public line directly from their own retainers, and . indireet!y from the advireates of third ' v ertu, the eon,- ' mon enemy of both, we now come to the Meet , hog on Monday, nt the Crown rind Anchor •T:t ;.ern. Sir I.'. Itukouves rneinorali!e speech 1:: the Crown and Anchor, in the year lams, has been the fruitful source of censure and miiirepresetea , lion in the Ministers! Jouniels, and the report of that speech, universally allowed. even by our most jealous rival., to he the most aorrects was given in Tne Burnett Parse. Cisseeiving that not less importance attached to the Merlin. of Mon day, than to that of 1503, we employed the same Gentleman to report the Beroures speech on Mol%- day ; and, from the satisfaction which his report has given, we have reason to presume, thatt.64 Gentleman has acquitted himself with Lis weal fidelity and ability. Now, in the report of that speech, upon the accuracy of which, as given in Tut Bairtsn Pitess, of Tarn's'', we fully - •ely, we find Sir FRANCIS BURDCTY speak ing with all becoming respect of the K tae, and all the branches of the ROYAL Fstitbe.— lii speaking of the Prince of Wat.cs, he uses, in deed, the very words iii which the character of that Prince has been more than once publicly drawn by Mr. SHERIDAN, who may be considered the rivet ptirtial as the oldest, most intimate, and one of the most favoured of all his Royal Highness's friends. The principles advanced in his speech. and the resolutions that followed it, are those of t:ie constitution and whiggism in its purest days, and couched in terms of moderation, of' which we ate convinced the leaders of Opposition, Lord GRF.N vILLE in the House of Lords, or Mr. Poxsosinr iii the House of Commons, svoulil not be afraid to utter. or ashamed to avow ; and what is perhaps of still greater importance, of the great multitude who heard him, there was not one who did not echo the mine constitutional and sound sentiments and principles, with honest and ardeut rapture and applause. The retainers of Ministers, as might be expected. have taken the alarm at this altered tone of Sir Fasncts BURDETT, and this expression of sentiment and principle, so completely in 01.i1011 with the language of the best friends of the coupe try and the constitution. Amowg these 710 COO. tier appears to be the most frightened and dip tnrbed.—ln its number of last night it says— ..
