The cargoes of the two prizes had been landed, from the apprehension that an attempt would he made by the British cruisers to cut them out. The ettrogiae frigate was expected to sail about the end of September, for the Bay of Bengal, on a preda- tory cru;se. The Penns, La Manche. BeHotta, arid Petite Porte, had all sailed from the Isle of France, to'creire a l pinist the trade of India.

The cargo of the Europe was mach damaged. as she had ten feet water 111 her hold at the time she struck, in coosequeuct of se veral shot between wind and water.

'Mr personal eflllfifirliCi in the honour and fidelity of the Army of Hengist, required no h iconfirmataiu s and could n o t be su•- , ueute.l ; but my mind is highly gratified by this seasonable ma• infestation to the world, of that ardent devotion to public duty, and to the service of our country, which seeks for utterance, moat of all, iii moments of exigeoeyond furnishes by weight and influence alone, egret' where active exertion is not required, oue of the firincot and isio,t efficient supports of the State. 5. I cannot omit this opportunity of professing, in the most solemn and public manner, the total discredit with which, at the time of their moat in dustrions circulation, I heard, iu common with the public of Calcutta, the calumnious and detestable reports to which allusion has been made iu most of the addresses above enumerated. It would have afforded me much satisfactiou to trace these dim graceful fabrications to such a source, us should have subjected the guilty partite i s m the severest prualtits of the Law. But in Bengal, these scan dalous rumours acre too general and indefinite to be brought home to individuals concerned iu their propagation, and the share which some of the Com mittees of the Coast Army have been too distinctly lona(' to have taken in deluding their brethren, by such deceptions, has been butted in the general oblivion which now happily covers the whole mass of past errors. ti. The army of Bengal will learn with sentiments alike of public awl fraternal satisfaction, that the Officers of the Coast Army are now actuated by every sentiment which becomes their honourable profession, and have obtained the cordial return of undiminished confidence from their Government. 7• This happy aspect of our affairs is the more a auliject of gratification and joy to every virtuous bosom, as the noble part which our Sovereign and his Empire are now acting on the great theatre of the world, demands the union of all our energies, and avi every attempt to divide us is not only a de sertion front the glorious labours of our country, but from the cause atilt human race itself. 8. It is superfluous to state, that I meat cordially concur in the sentiments of confidence, respect, and applause, which have hien declared to the army of Bengal, in the General Orders of the of August, published under your autlimity, and in those assurances of implant idiance on the lidolity and attachment of the °Ricers of that rimy. %stitch have been afforded in the replies directed by you to he returned to the addresses. communicated to you from the several military stations uuder the Presi dency of Fort William. 9. It only remains to request, that the contents of this dispatch nay be made known to all the Otti cert. who, on this occasion, have so honourably ma nifested their Imal and patriotic ardour in the rious adders,. a and dediratturis. which have been communicated to me. 1 have the honour to be, Honourable Sir, Vow most obedient bumble 'errant, (Signed) 1111 vvo.

Five or six of the men escaped up the rig ging.

The master went ashore without arms, and of course was easily dispatched.
