FROM VIE BOMBAY -COL JER, Fxs. ••••••••io ST. ANDREWS U.Y. rs to 7:. SUJSCi:~~ ~-~ CALCUTTA, MARCH 12. On Monday His IVlajesters ship Fur, Captain Va ginn. arrived from Bashire, wheace she sailed on the Rids ult. leaving the Paatier cruiser, and the ] aja,4aw , Trintmen, and Shlnnl7, and C•ede in that quarter. The r• r has brought an additional sup. F ly of English Papers to the fluth Oaober, and Con tinental ones to the 9th November. Samuel Manesty, Esq. was preparing to proceed on the emhascy to the Court of Persia. On Wednesday last, arrived the .if , tzujer, hav ing on board Sidman Aga, the ambassador from his Highness the Basha of Bagdad to his Excel. lency the Most Noble the Governor General of India. As soon as the vessel in the offiing was known to b e t he 3lttusfrr, Nicholas Hankey Smith, Esq. the Mehmendar, and Mirza Mehedi Ali Khan, proceed ed on board in a bunder boat, to inquire after the Arnhassa tor's health, and to announce their inten tendon of returning on the following day, with two more gentlemen, to invite and attend his Excellency on shore. On the same day, a zeafut of fruits was sent on board for His Excellency the ambassador, and for his suite and the whole c ew. The Afivsyrer was brought to an anchor below the Middle Ground, and such a disposition was made of the principal ships in the harbour, belong. ing to the Company and private merchants, as might enable them to salute the Ambassad.r with the best effect on his pa's:age from the ship to the shore. Yesterday Mr. Smith, and Wheel); Ali Kahn, accompanied by the Quarter Master General, and one of the Governor's aid-de-camps, proceeded on board the Musuj;•r, in the balloon richly ornament ed, to congratulate the Ambassador on the part of the Governor of Bombay, on his arrival, and to invite ::nd attend His Excellency on shore. A separate boat, with French horns and other mu. vical instruments adapted for the water, attend ing close on the balloon, to play the whole way to the shore. A proper number of blinder boats also attended to convey such of the Ambassador's suite, a; might be appointed to laud with him ; each boat havin , a marine officer on b.iard, and so stationed, as that the whole fleet might proceed in regular order, and he so placed, as to give the best possible effect to their attendance on the principal boat. At about noon the Ambassador quitted the Al/n -titff,r, and was saluted by the !hip► in the harbour in his progress towards shore. . • . he Ambassador was received on his landing at the Dock Pier by the Secretary t.) Government, the Adjutant General, and the Governor's Military Se cretary, w!io were rtispectively introduced to His Excellency by the Mebmendar, and under a saint. ell seventeen guns from Hnrnby's Battery. The Ambassador then proceeded in a state palankeen provided for the purvse, and in slow time, tin :mg!: a street, composed ot all the poops in garrison, front the Duck Pier to the Governoi's house, preceded by the garrison band playing appropriate tunes, and the troops saluting him as he p ASS! 1. The Ambas sador's palankeen was attended by Cliolodars, &c. and the Peons under the Superintendant of Polite, Mr. Halliday himself attending to station them in the most eligible manner. Next to the Ambassa dor's palankeen, followed the palankeens of the Gentlemen appointed to receive him at the Pier head, and after those, the palanke.ms of the Gentle mim who conduded him on share, and of the Am bassador's own suite., On their arrival 41 the Givernor's house, Mr. Smith and Mehe.ry Art Khan introduced the Am bassador, as well as the principal officers of his suite, the Hon. the Governor. At the foot of the stairs of the Government-house, the Ambassador was received by the Commanding Officer of the Forces and the Superintendant Ma rine, and being handed up stairs to the Governor, was condoned to a couch at the end of the state room, richly ornzmented and prepared for the pur pose. After the accustomed complimentary ceremonials had been observed, and His Excellency introduced to the Recorder, the Resident at Poona, and the General and Field Officers attending, the Honour able the Governor tendered a carriage to the Ana bassador, as a mark of friendship, and for His Ex cellency's accommodation during his stay at this Presidency, Coffee, Sec. was then introduced ; af ter partaking of which, the Ambassador retired ; the *slehmandar accompanying him to the house pre pared for his rccistion at 13) culla!). The Ambassador has, we understand, expressed the utmost satisfaetion at the accommodation which has been provided for His Excellency. A great concourse of people assembled to witness the entrafee of this distinguished stranger. MADRAS, DEC. 10. On Wcdneklay evening, the Sons of Caledonia pee a Grand National Entertainment to the Ladies and Gentlemen of the settlement, at the Exchange, in honour of their Tutelar Saint. At nine o'clock, the comp .ny began to assemble —shortly after, the Right Honourable the Governor, and Lady William Bentmck arrived, and were con duaed to the Ball Room by the Stewards of the evening. The first dance was led off by her Ladyship and Mr. Roebuck, one of the Maaagers of the enter trinment. The supper, as may be naturally supposed, con sisted ~4" every laaury procurable in the settlement, and the Champaigne, and other wines, were of a must choice and delicate scle4tion. A Committee. -chosen from the Subscribers, was appointed some days previous, for seleCting Stew ards, and making choke arrair i ;ements nece.sary lot the occasion. Few entenainments have been given to the set tlement, more deserving of particular notice ; and %te may he permitted to add, that the management could not have fallen into better hands, than of 'hose Gentlemen selthied for the purpose, to whom every praise is due for their obliging and hospi , ahle attention to the amusement and gratification of their visitors. LAW. COURT OF Mrs BENCH, WtSTUrNSTIII, Nov. The greater part of this day the Court was occu pied in hearing legal arguments, upon two' Ejeet ment Cases :.the one, Doe on the demise of the Earl of Bet kley, v. the Archbishop of York; and the other, Carr v. the Earl of E rro l. The arguments in the first case were ably enf need by Mr. Serjeant BAILY fcr the Plaintiff; and Mr. Glass for the Defendant. The question in this case was, whether the acceptance o• a subsequent lease was not a good surrender of a former? The arguments in the second case were supported or, each side by Messrs. D A AI Pita and Flo L ROYD j and the question turned principally upon the construc tion of certain devises in a will, providing for con tingent remainders. On both cases, after hearing the arguments (the whole of which were entirely uninteresting to the public), the Court postponed their final judgment to a future day. Mr. Gals:tow moved for an inquisition to Le taken before Lord Et.t.emaolol.ll4H, against a gentleman in the city, who, upon receiving his correspondent's letters from abro.l6l, threw them all into the fire, unopened, and afterwards meeting the latter upon 'Change, before all the merchants in London, com mitted a violent assault upon him. The Court refused the inquisiton, but granted a Rule for agood Jury to try the cause. WARD r. LowittNn. Mr. TOPPING moved for a Rule to shew cause, why the Exchequer Bills, lodged to the cre.lit of this cause, with the clerk of Ni., Prim', should not be delivered tip to the bail. The prior on the part of the Plaintiff, we give in our Paper of yesterday. The Court granted a Rule to shew cause. COMMON PLEAS. BENJAMIN SMITH r. BENJAMIN SMITH and CHERRY. Serjeant SHEPHERD moved for a Rule to shew cause, why the Defendant Cherry should not be discharged from confinement ; and stated, as the grounds of his application, that there had be-n a collusion between the Plaintiff and the other De fendant, to keep him in jail. Smith, the Plaintiff, was father to Smith, the agenda:lt. The two De fendants were some time ago partners in trade ; bur, on account of some dispute between then), the part nership was dissolved. The Defendant, Smith, had brought into the partnership A sum of money, which was advanced to him by his father, the Plaintiff : on the dissolution of the partnership, the two Smiths in sist• d, that the property of the partnership should be transferred to the Plainti ff , as p a yth ent of the money lie had advanced to his son, befOre he enter ed into partnership with Cherry; but this beingre fused on the part of die Defendant, Cherry, he was arrested on a Bill of Exchange, of which he knew nothing, but was convinced that it was executed by the Defendant Smith, since the partnership was dissolved, and ante-dated some months, so as to bring it to the time in which the partnership existed. In this belief he was strengthened by the manner in which he was arrested; for, though Smith the younger and Cherry were made Defendants, yet, when the Plantiti and the sheriff's officer came to the house where Cherry was, the Defendant Smith, who ac companied them, was not made a prisoner, but at tended him to jail with the sheriff's officer, as a kind of additional guard.--Rule granted. ANDRLW M 4 NIAHOST, Esq. This entleman was brought into Court, and moved f or a Rule to chew cause why the excu tion under which he was arrested should not be set aside on account of irregularity ; he grounded his motion on an affidavit sworn by him, which stated that he had lodged a writ of error against the judg ment obtained by the Plaintiff; but, nevertheless, was arrested on his way home from Court, although he had served the attorney of the Plaintiff with no tice to that effea, and he believed the execu tion was not regularly issued, La, on enquiry at the prepi-r offii:e, nothing of the kind could be found. An affidavit of the service of the notice on the op posite Attorney, and of the search at the Sheriff's Office was handed in, on all which he grounded his Application. Rule to chew cause granted; and also an order that Mr. fal‘Malion should be brought up on the day of spewing cause. OU n, been 9^ U $ icr POLICE. MANSION•HOV4E. Yesterday afternoon, a man underwent a private examination, belore the LORD MAYOR. He was charged with others with breaking open the compt ing house and desks of Messrs. Shaw and Co. in Bridge -street, Blackfriars, and carrying off Bonds, Bills, Bank Notes, and cash, to the Amount of five thousand pounds. The Prisoner was ap prehended in consequence of some of the Notes in question being supposed to have been circulated through him, and a Bank note of twenty pounds was changed by his wife, at a linen draper's in the Borough, where she bought goods t the amount of three pounds. This was proved to be nue of the stolen Notts. The Prisoner had been afo nniAn in Mr. Shaw's house, but now keeps a public house in the &rough. It being conceived that there are se veral others concerned, not yet apprehended, the Prisoner was remanded to the Poultry Compter for further examination. A waterman WAS fined twenty shillings for an over charge on the Lord Mayor's day. The fine and eX I MICCI Amounted to 11. 7s. which he immediately Paa An article from Patis of the 12th mentions, that a, there was no commemorative fete this year for the 18:h Brumaire, it will, of course, be incorporated with that of the coronation, and thus increase the brilliant recolledion of that memorable day. All the papers of yesterday give an account of the BONA PARTE family. It is taken from that inter esting w kirk " The Rereiblielarp Plutarch."

JEFFERSON'S ADDRESS TO THE CHIEFS AND WAItRIORS OF THE OSAGE INDIANS. We have extracted from The New York Cesseseecint Aken thee, of the 6th of October, President Jeffersrin's Addrew to the Chiefs and %Varriors of the thigu linlians. MY CHIEDRt4, WHITE HAIRS, CHIEFS, AND WARRIORS 01 THE OSAGE NATION, I repeat to . you assurances of the satisfaition it has given me to receive you here. Bcsides the la bour of such a journey, the confidence you have shewn in the honour and friendship of my country men is peculiarly gratifying ; and I hope you have seen that your confidence was justly placed, that you have found yourselves, since you crossed the Mississippi, among brothers and friends. with whom you were as safe as at home. My Children—l sincerely weep with you over the graves of your chiefs and fiends, who fell by the hands of their enemies lately detendiug the Osage river. Had they been prisoner., arid living, we would have recovered them : hut no voice cab awake the dead, no power undo what is done; on this side the Mississippi, where our government has been long established, and our authority organised, our friends visiting us are sale. We hope it will not be long before our voice will be heard, and our arm respeaed, by those who meditate to injure our friends on the other side of that river ; in the mean time, Governor Harrison will be direeted to take proper measures to inqu're into the circumstances of the transaelion, to report them to us for consi deration, and for the turther measures they may require. My Children—By late arrangements with France and Spain, we now take their place as your neighbouis, friends, and fathers ; and we hope you wilt have no.cause to regret the change. It is so long since our fore-fathers came from beyond the great river, that we have lost the memory of it, and seem to have grown out of this land, as you have done; never more will you have occasion to change your fathers. We ace Al now of one family, barn in the same land, and bound to Eve as brothers, aed the strangers from beyond the great water are goue from among us, the great spirit has given 'ou strength, and' has given us strength ; not that we might hurt one another, but to do each other all the good in our power. Our dwellings indeed are very far apart ; bnt'not too far to carry on comaif ace aad useful intercourse. You have tars and pehries which we want, and we have chnhcs and blankets and other useful things that you want; let us employ ourselves then in mutually accommodatieg each other. To begin this on east- pit. it was neceyrar y to know what nations inhabited the great country called Louisiana, whets embraces all the waters of the Mississippi and Missouri, what number of peltries they could furnish, what qualities and kinds of merchandise they would require, where would be the deposits most convenknt for them, and to make zn exact map of all the waters—For this purr pose I sent a beloved man, Capt. Lewis, ono of iny household, to learn something of the people with whom we ate now united, to let yon know we were your friends, to invite you to come and see us, and to tell us how we can be useful to you. I thank you for the readiness with which you have listened to his voice, and for the layout you ;hewed him in his pas sage up the Missouri. I hope your countrymen will favour and protect him as far as they es' and. On his return we shall Lear what he has von and learned, and proceed to establish trading houses where our red brethren shall think best; and to exchange eommodaies with them on terms with which they will he satisfied. With the same views I had prepared another par ty to go up the Red River to its source, thence t.) the source of the Ai kan'a, and down to its mouth ; but I will now give orders that they shall oily go a small distance up the lied River this season, and re turn to tell us what they have seen, and that they shall not set out for the head of that river till the ensuing spring, when you will be at home, and will, I hope, guide and guard them on their jour ney. I also propose the next year to send another small party up the River Kansas to its source, thence to the bead of the River Panis, and down to its mouth, and thence up the River to the North side of the Missouri—For guides along these • rivers we must make arrangements with the nations inha biting them. My Children—l was sorry to learn that a schism had taken place in your nation, and that a part of your people had withdrawn with the great track, to the Arkansa river, we will send an agent to them, and will use our best offices to prevail on them to return, and to live in union with you. We wish to make them also our hi. lids, and to make that friend ship, and the weignt it may give u. with them, use ful to you and them. We propose, my Children, immedi stely to esta blish an agent to reside with you, who will speak to you our word+, and convey yours to :is ; who will be die guardian of our peace and friendship, con vey truths from the one to the other, nissipate all falsehoods which might tend to alienate and divide ns, and maintain a good understanding and friend ship between us : as the distance is too great lot you to rime often and tell u. your wants, you will tell them to him on the spit, and he will convey them to us in writing, so that we shall be sure that they come from you ; through the intervention of such an agent, we shall hope that our friendship will for ever be preserved, no wrong will ever be done you by our nation, and we trust that yours will do none to us ; and should ungovernable indviduals commit unauthorised outrage on either side, let them be duly punished ; or, if they escape, let us makeeeto each other the hest satilaCtion the case admits, and not let our peace be broken by bad men d for all peo ple have some bad men among them, whom no laws can restrain. As you have taken so long a journey to see your fathers, we wish you not to return till you shall have visited our country and towns towards the sea coast. This will be new and satigfaitory to you, and will give you the same knowledge of the coun try on this side of the Mississippi, which we are en deavouring to acquire of that on the other side, by sending trusty persons to explore them. We pro pose to do in your country only what we are desir ous you should do in ours ; we will provide accom modations for your journey, for your comfort while engaged in it, and for your return in safety to your own country, carrying with you those proofs of es tern w;th o stilich ire distinguish or?' friends, and sliali pArtiEnlarly distinguish you. On your return * tell your people that i take them all by the hano % that 1 become thfir father hereafter, that th^y shalt know our nation only as friends and benefa3ors ; • that we have no views upon them but to carry on a commerce useful to them and us; to kaep them hi peace •mith their neighbours, that their children may multiply, may grow up and live a good old age, and their women no longer fear the tomahawk of any enemy. My Children, then are my words; entry them to your nation, keep them in your memories, and our friendship in your hearts ; and may the Great Spirit look down upon us, and cover us with the punte of '. his love.

The public, aspsttal, Ara divided as to the propriety of the steps that bay* been lately taken by Mr. Foster : his friends say ; that he has already brought into the treasury, bybis own exertions, one million sterlinlr ; whilst , on tho u o her hand, it is asserted as roundly, that the brew eries and distilleries have been injured. and, of coo sequence, the revenue decreased. ----- - On Wednesday, a drummer in the Eig'th Lon don Volunteers was tried by a Court-martial. lor. disobedi.•nce of orders, at the I lead Quarters of the West London Militia, consisting ot the Odic or the West Lyndon Volunteers, and the L y ] al Lon lon V o lun te e rs , was ) e s t eu l A y own g. eseorted by a guard of the Eighth to its litrad- Qoar:.l , ia Drape s' Gardens, and there dis vested of his regim mats, and drummed tram left to sight of the regin.ent, which faced about to right, and then n. - irened as belote ; atter which he was marched rocnd the war d to which ne was dru•ymer, an.l t! en dismissed.
