It may be that the reply was not conveyed by Marcum, but by M. PILEVOIT, wbo sailed last Saturday." Letters by. the Leeward Isla►►d Mail, brought by the Print-els Mary packet, Captain Pucocc, in 33 days from Tortola, state, that Admiral Coca ttarts et Barbadoes from Halifax, is the latter end of November, and that preparations were making at Martinique for au attack, (as was sup posed), (Ton Guadaloupe, but they were waiting fur reinforcements from England, not ha►ing a suf ficieut na►al or military force io the Island to pro ceed to the attack. Some persons, who pretend to be correctly in formed, say, " Thediscoatents at the Presidency of Madras are of three kinds. The Officers of the Com pany's Army are dissatisfied with the measures of the Governor, Sir George Barlow, in the military department of hie government. The civil ser vants of the Company have observed. with regret, many of the measures of Qjr George Barlow in the Civil Department ; and the free Traders, as well es the Civil Ser►ants. are surprised and dissatisfied with some interference, which they consider to be of an improper nature. The dis satisfaction does not, perhaps, extend to all the Company's Officers, Civil and Military, but is very general. The Military Officers have forward ed a memorial to the Court of Directors, and a re monstrance to the Governor-General the Civil Ser vants have made no remonstrances, nor shewn, by any public act, that is known here, their sentiments. A number of Military Officers have been suspend ed the service and ordered home, for acts connected with the memorial, u detailed in a general order published in your paper; many civil servants. high in office, have been removed from situations at the Presidency. to . others up the couutry—the rouses of their removal have not been stated to those removed, and are not known here. One of the free traders has been ordered home, and another been removed from his office of Magistrate. From this abstract of the state of affairs at Madras, it is obvious that there is no insubordination among the troops, either native or European ; that the King's Officers in India are not concerned, nor have taken any part in the proceedings of the Com pany's Military Officers. The troops said to be going out cannot, theref',re, be intended for the purpose of checking insubordivation among the troops, because none exists. An annual embarkation of recruits to fill up vacancies is always made, and often of regiments, in exchange for those ordered home is rotation. No measures of conciliation have, as far as is known here, been adopted by Sir George Barlow or Lord Minto, and there is every reason to believe, that the Court of Directors have confirmed most of those which Sir George Barlow has deemed it right to resort to." This account does not corroborate, but rather tends to invalidate, the alarming reports front Ceylon and the Cape of Good Hope, which we mentioned yesterday. Di•patches, attic date of the ilst ult. hive been received trout Lord t_Vau.tantott, stating, that on that day the British army broke up from its encamp ment at Badajos, and marched iu divisions to the northward, to re-cross the Tagus.
