DOVER, Ja:.•. 18.--Reports it appears have' been circulated that great rejoicings have taken place all along the French Coast in honour of a vi&ory said to have been gained over the RuSsians. I can assure you no firing whatever has been heard from the oppo site side for sonie time'past, nor can I conceive from whence these reports have arisen. Arrived the Ship Diana, of Bolton, Capt. No LE, from Charente, with brandy, 'bi - Newcastle. This Vessel left Rochefort about 4 days since; at that time there was a very strong report there that the French had defeated the kussians in Poland, with great slaughter ; but no rejoicings took place in conse quence, and therefore it was but little credited.

Some British Officers, with the subsidiary troops at Hydrabad, lately discovered the ruins of a city, about four_ miles in extent, on the southern banks of the Krishna. From the grandeur of 'the ruins and dimensions of some of the buildings, it is sup posed to have been the capital of the Soubadary in the time of its prosperity ; but nothing has yet been found to throw the least light on the sub jea ; and there is not either writing or tradition known of, by which even, a conjecture can be formed as to the period when this city was built, or the time or cause of its deCay.
