Yesterday, the Purser of the Maria, country-ship, Captain Castaway, arrived at the India-House, with dispatches from the Bengal Government. The Merle suffered considerable damage in the Channel, and, unfortunately, being chiefly manned with Las cars, could, with great difficutty, be navigated—the Lasears being unable to move from their hammocks, in consequence of the severe cold. The Officers and Passengers were, therefore, obliged to work her—aad too much praise cannot be passed upon their exertions on this occasion. The following is an accurate list of the passen gers by tfte Maria : _ _ From Besqrats.Mt. and Mrs. Flirt, and Mr and Mrs. Van Juys. From Bo the Essex. Bond, who canto to St. Helena ia Fte:n Lt Itlena—Lieutenant Colonel Lane of the St. Helena Establishment, and Lieutenant Kennand. The Elphinsione, Captain CRAIG. Estes, Captain BONHAM, and Anna, Captain PRICE, were expelled to sail front St. Helena a few days after the Prineess Mary and Marta, and may consequently be daily expelled. The dispatch brought by the French Officer from Monsieur Ta I. ;AN Ca N o, to our Minister for 'Foreign Affairs, is aid to have contained a letter from Bo na, •Ifrt t• Ws MAJESTY, professing a wish to put an end to the calamities of war. The letter from Bosat•ex e is dated the Ist of January, and, as Mr. TALLSTCAWD also echoes the pacific expres sions of his master, we need not be surprised at the great ferment which tliis extraordinary communica tion has excited in the commercial world. The new Essersos begins the new year well, if he means that his actions shall keep pace with his word, and be seeks peace in the real spirit of peace and forgiveness. We are not among the number of those who con sider such a change in the temper and principles of Bo impossible. Whether such has aft ally taken place may be easily ascertained in the most satisfadory manner; and it is not to be pre sumed that Government will let down the spirit • and energy of the country, by entertaining ti assn question without such full and satisfactory assti once. If he be really sincere, he will at once pro pose to burn his Mosquito fleet, which he has col leaesi to teaze and annoy England, without being able to inflia a serious wound. lie will disband the military hordes, which he has so long kept half ' starved and half-buried upon the hills of Boulogne. lie will restore the independence of Hollandovacuate I lanover, and make good to its oppressed inhabitants the property of which he has despoiled them. He will offer reparation for his numerous violations of the law of nations, in the foul and atrocious murder of the Duke D'Esmi en, the seizure of Sir G mime Row BOLD, &c. He will beg pardon of God and man, and promise and vow to lead a new life.— His proposition, unless accompanied by an under taking to this etrett, will not bear a charaeter truly pacific; but, on the contrary, expose him to the imputation of the most sinister and frau dulent motives If he be really sincere, he cannot eve& to be treated as an equal with the legitimate SOVEREIGN of Enema so, without a concomitant offer of sacrifices and concessions. The great dif ficulty consists in the inequality of the two Govern ments, of their charaCter, and their acknowledged views. Supposing BONAPARTE to be insincere in his profession for peace, and that England, without any pledge of his sincerity but his word, the word of BONAPARTE, shall embrace a phantom, instead of peace in its solid and substantial form, what is the consequence ?—He gains every thing.--Englan4 loses many of the advemagee which she now pos sesses. The spirit of the country is let down, the rising spirit of Europe is extinguished, pethaps, for evei. The treaty of Amiens was conceived by BON AAAAA ain a hostile spirit. It was the most successful campaign which he ever carried on against this country. Is there any thing in his con duet or charafter since, to justify a hope, that he does not seek another peace for the same hostile purpose ? He has not since professed less detes tation of the English name ; he has not shewn more respeCt for the laws of God or man. Since that period he murdered the Duke of ENOMIsti, and be came an outlaw in Europe, for how can he claim the prom/lion of the laws of civilised nations; he, who has never lost as opportunity to violate them ? , • - brefg#ll.4.llML9ONms of day dad. mom Erie proof at II not the single aircumstance of bii the very moment when he has di dare war against us, a itoof of 'wickedness. Is bring peace. at *ed Spain to de ►insin;.erity ; or. at all events, a just ground for our jealousy and mistrust ? Besides, with respect to the end and oh jett of the present war, he is a defeated foe. He has lost St. Domingo and Louisiana, and forfeited all his hones and expectations in that quarter of the world. His designs upon Egypt and India have been also frustrated; and the threatened invasion of England has turned only to his shame and confusion. Did the French, in their conti nental campaigns, ever entertain a proposition from a defeated toe, without the surrender of for tresses, or the possession of provincks ? What right then has B.N*rare to expea that England will ' dtbeend from her high and superior station, to treat with him upon an equal footing ? And "will she not take care that, while he presents a petitiOn for peace with one hand, he does not meditate to, plunge a dagger into het heart with the other, he whose creed is Delenda eat Britannia, the utter extiqtlion of England and the English name? Yesterday, about half-past eleven o'clock, Ilia MAJESry arrived in his travelling carriage at the Queen's House from Windsor. About two o'clock His MAJESTY gave private audiences to I.ord H•wia.savair, the LOND CH A NCEL LON. and Lord Mu co IAVE, who had the honour to kiss His MA- J FST Y'S hand, on his being appointed Secretary of State for the Foreign Department, in the room of Lord HA RROWBY, resigned. BS MAJESTY WaG pleased to invest his Lordship with the Seals of Office. Mr. ADDINGTON had then an audience of His MAJ EST Y, and had the honour to kiss His Ma., as- TY'S hand on being created to the tide of Viscount SIDMOUTII. His MAJESTY then held a private Levee, which was attended by The Lord Cludicellur. The Chancellor of the Exchequer. The Secretatiet of State.

After the levee, His MAy err v gave a private audience to Mr. Pity, for a con►iderable time. After which, His MAJESTY held a Privy Council, which was attended by all the above, who are of his ICJ airy's most Hon. Privy Council, at which, we understand, the late dispatches from Spain were taken into consideration, and letters of marque against that country were issued. Mr. FALits: sea attended AS Clerk to the Council. After the Council, His MAJESTY gave a long private audience to Lord Ms tvit te. At five o'clock.l - 14 Mai as r tr set off for Windsor. Yesterday. a Court of Direaors w...s held at the East-India House, when Captain JAM IS Her was sworn into the command of the Comas, of 1900 tons, stationed for China, in the room of Captain Toot' w, resigned. 'the Coins is to be in the Downs, with orders to proceed oa her outward voyage, the 7th of March next. The Court adjourned at a late hour till Wednes day next. The Surat nude, from Loudon and Lisbon, arrived at Madeira on the V7th November, and sailed from thence on the Ist December, for the East Indies. The Joitn, Owic., from Liverpool for Kinsale, is stranded on Cardigan Bar. The Gawp., —, from Liverpool for Galway, is lost near the Isle of Man. The Frederic. Derethen, from Bnurdeaus for London, foundered of Ushant. Captain and live of the crew saved. The Catharine, H•v woofs, from Newfoundland fur Liverpool, is lost in the Gulph of Mexico. A French privateer captured a brig of the Dum ber, an Tuesday afternoon last. The 011'44 is the first Indiaman expeded to sail fur India. Mr. AontliGTON takes his title from Sidmouth in Devonshire. Judge Fox is arrived from Ireland, preparatory to his personal defence at the Bar of the House ,rf Lords, on the charge brought against him by the Marquis of A PIERCORN. We understand that Parliament will adjourn over on Tuesday for a week, but whether on account of the Birth-day, or to allow time to Ministers to de -Liberate upon the dispatches received from France, we cannot pretend to say. The population of Prince of Wales's Island is estimated at 13,000 souls, including persons of every description ; of these, above WO are pos *eased of landed property on the Island. The Chinese form the most numerous class of the bkants, and are said to amount to above trOoo ; the batter sort of these people possess valuable estates la lands and houses, and were the first planters if pepper. The lower orders are well trained *flings. Besides this valuable class of men, there are Chooliaks who come from the coast of Coroman -61, and have settled there ; also Malays, Buggesses, Who come from Borneo, Burmahs and Parsus. 01 IN. the proportion of Malays is, fortunately, got mull, they are generally indolent, viudielive, Slid treacherous people; they are, however, very atpert in clearing away the thickets and cutting . down wOO% which they perform in a manner pecu liar N dionsolves. .AIGIT,EUR TOILITRICALt 'measure*, JAN.

Mr. MEvsa was excieihely great in a Concerto of Dossiat's, on t' se gland piano torte. lie wets particularly great in his e xecution running up and down the half tones of the instni. ment.
