Our Navy will be completely ruined : there are scarcely any new Ships laid down; and the syste m of BI , ckad e is known to strain and wear our Navy beyond any other Service. In lord Spstvcsit's Admitiistration of the Naval De partment, a regular pi n was laid, of building Ships every year, so that a regular succe,siori,of Line of-Battle Ships was ensured to supply the place of those which were condemned as unserviceable were by ateident lost. That syste m has been changed, i an d t his we are told is economical. 'We believe it to be the geossest libel that ever was , uttered, t o say that the yards a re jobß.

It is true, that a COnttdd is sometimes made to build these Ships with great expedition, in which Case the wood will not be so well sea-oned as the 'Vessels built in the.-King's Yards, which are often three or four times as long in building, but w e will venture to assert, that, with the same tint,- given, there is no proof to be drawn from experience, that the Private Yards do not Produce as fine Ships as any of the-Public ones. .. We. wish. most heartily, that both Mr. Ann t NOTON and Lord S.VINCENT. Would 100 k to real Econcnty. The War into which we have been plunged, probably by the wavering 2414 timid Policy of Mr. ADDINGTON, will require all our resources ; hut an Economy Which is only to serve his time, to establish his Charaaer 3 3. an Eonomst, and to leave empty Arsenals, and a shat. feted and reduced Navy to his Successors may very possibly effen the ruin of the Nation ! . `..

UT THE GOVERNOR, SEPT. 13, 1803. " CAPT. WM. POLLOCK, of .His Majesty's first Regi ment, in Command of a Detachment from the Garrison of Columbia, having, by a rapid succession of brilliant and im. portant victories, driven the Grand Army of the Candians, commanded by the King in person, out of the British Ter ritories, taken all their Artillery and their Royal Standard, recovered from them many of the Malays and Gun- Lascars, Who were made prisoners by treachery at Candy ; and finally, seized the Magazines and Stores prepared by them at Rowa. nelly, within their own limits. " His Excellency, the Governor, is unable to express in adequate terms, his lively sense of the great services rendered to his Government by that distinguished Officer, and the small, but heroic DetaChment which he commands. " He requests him, however, to accept his Thanks, and to communicate them to Capt. JoiiN BUCHAN, Of His Ma jesty's Ceylon Native Infantry, Capt. FREDERICK . HAN... KEY, of His Majesty's 19th Regiment, and all the Officers who have so nobly seconded his exertions; as well as to Mr. JOHN OR R, Assistant-Surgeon of the Bengal Artillery, for the signal service rendered by him in taking charge of the Lascars whom we recovered from the Enemy. " His Excellency .further desires Captain Pot.Lo ex to assure the Non-commissioned Officers and Privates of his high approbation of their spirited and exemplary conduct." - The consequences of the glorious defence of Hangwelle, on the Stir of this month, nave been still more important than we had reason to expet. The K INGOf CANDY was there in person, but retreat ed with-precipitation as ,sane as the firing began. In his -flight he was overtaken by Leuxe RAL£HAMMY, Dessave.of the four Corks, and the NIA HA 11 o uo-rr it or Chief Secretary of- State, both of whose-heads, in the violence of his indignation, he ordered to be immediately struck off, and left their dead bodies unbur . ed, in a Ravine near the Roy berg. Nordid his cruelty stop here, fbr a number of carcases which passed-down the river by Hangwelle, and since to the great pass near this place, prove that the exeention of his. own subjeds has been considerable and indiscriminate, —The slaughter made at them by our Troops s great indeed, as all the roads near Hangwelle are represented as.bAng strewed with the slain, and our Coolies were employed in burying them during the two days - subsequent to the battle. On the gth, in the morning, Captain Poe Locx march. ed forwardeaccompanied by . Captain HANK EY, Lieutenants ME R ces and M`VzAca, of the Infantry, and J. \Volt s e zY, of the Royal Artillery, with a Detachment of 8o Rank and File Europeans,.and 70 Rank and File Sepoys, with two small Cohorns, and a party of Bengal Gun-Lascars ; and having driven.the Enemy from the strong Post of Kai, loagille, where they were stationed in considerable twee, under the command of the new Dessave of the Four Corles (lately of Oova), passed the Royberg without opposition, and halted for the night at Aloet- Ambulant, about six Eng lish miles from 'Hangwelle. On the loth, Captain Po ',Loci: proceeded by the very strong Post of Pana-juttia (which the Enemy had abandoned) to Avisavella, and, passing the river, entered the Candian Territory, at Sitawaka. About three miles beyond the last mentioned place, he drove the Candians from -a strong - Bat- • tery, Appoola Pitty, where he passed. that night and the next day, to give time to Captain Twin Boot! AN, of His Ma jesty's-Ceylon Native Infantry, who had passed with a detach ment from Negumbo, through the Aloetever, tiapittigam, and Hina-Corles, to arrive at Alenegodde, on the opposite side of the Calany Conga. Captain By cH AN had performed his march with consi derable difficulty from the roads (which he overcame with great judgment and perseverance), but with little opposition from the Enemy or the Rebels ; near Moogorampitty he had been attacked, but repulsed the assailants, killed three of them, and took one prisoner. While he was on his march a party of thirty-six Malays,. (of those taken at Candy) came into h i m from- the Army of the Second Adigar, who was proceeding from the Seven . Corles to join the King at Ro%vanelly. On the morning of the ezth, both detachments marched forward, and that of Captain POLLOCK, at a place called Organda, about five miles from Appoola Pitty, tell in with the remains of the grand Army of the Candians, which had been defeated at Hangwelle, reinforced by that which the Second Adigar had brought from the Seven Corks. They seemed determined to make an obstinate resistance, so much so , t h at six and twenty of their men, including two Mohot tians, were slain in the Battery i • their whole Army then fled,. and Captain Posuscx proceeded, with little more opposi tion, to Rowanelly, where he was joined by Captain Bu- CHP + N. That Village, the fnost commercial and populous in the Kingdom of Candy, then fell into our hands, together with Magazines and Stores of Artillery, Ammunition and provi sions which the King of Candy had been long preparing for his late unfortunate Expedition, and a Palace which he had caused to be erected there in a very elegant and sumptuous stile, according to the Cingalese taste. This Palace, together with eleven hundred houses, has been burnt. The Troops returned yesterday morning (t3th) to Sits waker. i Our loss in all these affairs has been -exceedingly trifling, viz. At Hangwelle, on the 6th, r Private of the 65th wounded. At Kalovagille, on the 9th, z European Soldiers wounded. At Organda, on the izth, r Gun-Lascar wounded. In Capt. Buchan's Detachment. t Lascar wounded. We have recovered 6z Malays, and lio Gun-Lascars, Bengal, and Madras.

" SIR, " I HAVE the honour to report, for the informa tion of Major-General M?kcoo WALL, then I march ed yesterday morning with the detachment under my command, for Rowanelle. I found the Enemy posted at all the passes on the road, and very strong batteries ereeted for their defence, from which they were driven with considerable slaughter ; and I am happy to say, with only the loss of one Gun-Lascar Tindal wounded on our side. . On arriving at the. Rowanelle River, we found the opposite Bank lined with batteries and several pieces of cannon, from which-the Enemy kept up a heavy fire Of round and grape shot, .and a constant fire of musquetry ; not being sufficiently acquainted with the state of the River, to attempt fording it immediately, the Detitchment were here obliged to halt a few mi nutes; when a ford was discovered, Capt. FlAtit E y and Lieut. MERCER, with the Advance instantly pushed over, and Capt. BUCHAN, with his Detach ment, appearing at this moment on the Enemy's right flank,'they fled in all diretlitans. " I have the honour to _inclose a return of Ord.: nance and Stores captured upon this occasion, all of which I have brought off.—l haVe much pleasure in reporting the ,ggod . behaviour of the whole Detachment, and the obligations I am under to Captain BUCHAN, for the effectual suppo r t he afforded me, notwithstanding the great diffiAllties he , had to encounter from, the extreme badness of the t road by which, he advanced on the N ort h Bank of the C a l an y Gunga.

" The Candians have also entirely evacuated . the Distria of Galle, and the inhabitants of the vit.' lagea lately occupied by them have returned sd ef. lethally to their duty, that they have invited the Renters to come back,,among them, and continue colleaing their rents.

" The hopes expressed in our last, of Ham. bangtotte being still in our possession, have been retlized. Ensign RIDDLE was ordered to march there from Tangalle, on the loth, and arrived on the I Ith, without opposition. The Garrison, con. sisting of about 6o invalid Malays, under the corn. mand of Ensign. PR ENDERGAST, had been in a state of blockade since the 23d ult. upon the land side, although a vessel moored in the harbour afforded a secure retreat by sea in case of necessity. " During the blockade, Ensign PR ENDERGAST made several sortie's, which were attended with uniform success, drove the Enemy from their ad. vanced batteries, and took from them seven Cin. • galese guns, without any loss on our side. " On the 9th instant•he received a reinforcement of a Corporal and eight men of the Royal Artillery from His Majesty's frigate Wilhebniwa, bound, for Galle and Colombo, but which had put into Ham. bangtotte Road."

" The Proposals of Surrender offered by the Commander in Chief to the Garrison, immediately after the retreat of Mr. PER non's Forces, afford the most convincing proof that the humanity of the British character is intimately conne&ed with that spirit of alacrity and valour which marked the Commander in Chief's judicious resohltions to meet the obt stinacy tat the Enemy, by an immediate assault of the place. " The judgment and energy manifested by the Commander in .Chief, .in the Plan of the Attack, corresponded with the intrepidiq, spirit, anti perseverance of his brave Officers and Soldiers, in executing the orders of their able and gallant Ge neral ; and the glorious result of the assault has considerably augmented the reputation of the British Name, and the ho nour of the British Arms in India. " The Governor• General in Council is pleased to dire& the Commander in Chief to express the particular and most distinguished approbation with which His Excellency in Council has viewed the courage, firmness, and ability, dis played by the Honourable; Lieut. Col. MoN sox in le:aiing the attack s under circumstances of the utmost degree of difficulty and danger. A strong sense of the interests of the public service, and a desire to witness a continuance of the glorious success of the British arms in India, render the Go vernor General in Council sincerely anxious that this ex cellent Officer (repeatedly distinguished by his conduct in various exigencies of the service) may speedily be enabled to resume the command of his gallant Corps, and to augment his claims upon the gratitude and applause of his Country.

" The loss of Captain Cameron, Lieutenants Fleming, Browne, Campbell, St. Aubin, and Turtori, is deplored by the Governor General in Council ; theirCountryi.their Friends, and their King, will however receive Consolation. fur that loss, in reflecting upon rite glory . of their achievements, and upon the public advantage of the ir illustiioug example. " The Governor General in Council d reaa the Commander in Chief to signify to Mt.Luc rz i the approbation with Which His Excellency in Council has remarked the services rendered by that Gentleman to the cause of his native 'Coun try, in the, spirited exertion of British 'courage' and - public zeal.
