Inionsequence of your communication to me last night that you had nor received my official commu. nicatlon on the surrender of Powanghur by capitu. lotion, I have the honour to address you again on the subjep After a: Breach had . bein effefted in the Wall of the inner Fort, us also that another was almost pratlicable in, a Tower at the angle of the outer Fort, the GarriSen offered to capitulate on the Morning of the t ph, on condition of being pro. totted in their Persons and private Property. To these terms I agreed, on condition of imme. diately taking possession of the Breach in the inner Wall, with a CoMpany of Sepoys. They, how. ever, tacked other Stipulations to the Capitulation, viz. that I should agree to pay them the Arrears due from Scindia, and that two of the Commanders of the CWicawar Cavalry with me (amounting to about three hundred Norse) . should sign the A. greement. To those latter Articles I .would on no account agree ; and it was not until . four P.M. when they found, from our continuing to bitter, that I would admit of no delay, that . they•agreed to the original terms, which were immediately cartied into full ellen, by their evacuation of the Fort and Mountain, of which we took possession. • If this had not taken place, I had made the n e. cessary at rangemenfs for storming both breaches on the morning of the 18th ; and I conceive that the Garrison were intimidated, from a knowledge that if t h e y opposed us on our entering:. the breaches, their communication with the Upper Fort would be cut off, and they had no other way to escape, than the road which led down by our Battery.' Could they have obtained posseeion of the Upper Fort, or Balls 'Uhl, at the Top of the Mountain, I am inclined 'o think it utterly impregnable. I have left Captain Cliffe, of the Engineers, to take a plan and view of the Forts and Works on the Mountain, which, I doubt not, from his known abilities, will be ably executed, It is with the greatest pleasure that I embrace this. opportunity of submitting, for your notice, the me. tits, zeal, and great exertions of all rat ks on this service. • I have the honour to .he, &c. lac.

Ws are extremely sorry to announce the loss of His Majesty's Ship the Magnificent, of 74. guns, Capt. jEttvls. It is said that she struck on a sunken rock neat Brest ; but it is stated in a Letter from our Plymouth Correspondent, that she was lost off Ireland.--Both accounts, however, concur in stating that the Crew were saved. We. received this morning the Monitturs o f the Ith, i 211), and 13th ult. but, they bring no in. telligence whatever respelling the fate of MCA TAU and PIC*EGRU.—They have not yet been tried, nor is it stated when that ceremony is to take place: There are some further derails tespeaing the arrest of GEORGES, from which it appears that he made a most desperate resistance : one of the Officers who attempted to arrest him he shot on the spot,. and another he' wounded so desperately, that his recovery is very doubtful., The properly found upon GEORG es,which is stated to have been be tween 3 and 40001, has been given to the widow and children of the inn he snot. The accounts whidt we received some time ago, of Lord NitLbw; appearing before Algiers, .to demand. that the British Consul should be rein stated in his situation, were so contradiaory, that some doubts were entertained of the fait. It appears, however, by a letter from the French Commissary at Algiers to the Minister of Ma. tine, that Lord NRLSON arrived before Algiers on the Isth of January with nine Skil of the Line, and demanded that Mr. FALCON, the British Con. sul, stmuld be honourably restored to his station, and that some Neapolitan and Maltese Ships which had been captnred, although they had British, Passes, should be given up. The Oey, however, refused to comply with any of these demands, and after some days spent in fruitless negotiation, Lord NELSON, retired. Vpon this suhjett we can only express the same sentiments that we did when the circum. itance first came to our knowledge, viz. our regret that the attempt should have been made, or that the appearance of force tilioul4 have been resorted to, unless it was determined to proceed to extremities to enforce a compliance with our demands. The cha. rafter of the British Navy ought urdoubtedly to be maintained in every quarter of the globe, but if there is one part more than another in which it is essential to the interests of Great Eiritain, that that Charatler should stand high, it is in the Mcdi. terranean. Letters from Rotterdam dated the 6th of last month, Irate alit no doubt is entertained that an attack has been made upon (Vim by Admiral I lARTZitvtt , with the Fleet and Forces under his command. It the attack was made before our Troops in that Wand had been reinforced, we shall entertain the most serious apprehensions for the safety of that valuable Settlement. The Funds are ss. 25► Four Cottenourgh Mails arrived this morning. The fat: of Count WORONZW having retired from the Russian Ministry is confirmed, and it is gene_ rally supposed that he will be succeeded by Count MARcoFF. Though we have never been very sanguine in our hopes of any aaive co.operation by the Northern Powers, yet we cannot but con. suffer this event as favourable to Great Britain, for Count Mnltcon , has had ample means of observing the treachery and despotism of the French Govern ments end must feel the necessity of setting some limits to a Power which never telaxes one moment in its efforts to tlestroy all that remains of the pendence ref 14;orope. Private ,eaters are said to have been received from the Continent, w hi c h sta t e , t h a c the F renc h had taken POSSeSikti of, Natter, and had made the ROyal Family prisoners. We state• it merely as report, to which we by po means give implicit credit indeed, we think it very immoinhle that Iris NSAFOUTMf Ailesitsve ( avou u stin,fr himself to be surprized in his Capital by the French, whin his retreat to Sicily might hive been so easily accomplished, end which we know was determined upon, whenever the French made any attempt to to take possession of his continental dominions. We learn from good authority, that the Danes; will not surer a French Privateer to enter any of their Ports, without the utmost necessity..... Th e, Pilots all along the Coast are particularly cautious what vessels they take charge of. IXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM GOTrIINIIVRG, MARCH. 49. " A Russian Courier with Dispatches for Count WottoNow in London, will sail to-day for Eng. land. .This Courier has performed the journey from Petersbuigh hither in seven days, which is almost incredible. His Dispatches relate to the resigns. tion of WORONTZOW, the Minister at St. Peters. burgh, who has retired to his estate in the country. His successor is not yet named, but there it'rea's i o n to thick MAR C'OFF will be the mad"; if so, the ' nation and the new appointment may be both fa. vourable to England ; for it is understood that Wo. RONTEO Vi at Peteraburgh was by no means a friena to the English; and surely MAR Cdr! cannot be' expated to prove one to ,the Pane!), alter the treat,. ment he received from BONAIMARTII Et Paris. ' 4 , An Englisit Courier left Petersburgh at the same time with the Russian Out is supposed to have taken the route of Husum) ; from this it would appear that Sir JOHN WARREN thought the resig. nation of WORONTEOW of importance at this time."

It is said that the Enemy had. kotoo° ° °n ' • among whom were many French and (yerman OM. • errs. The Mahrattas, it is said, had L2OO kill ed, , and more than twice that number wounded.
