The French Vessci had sailed from Qdierne Bay, fur Brest, but being blown off the land, and being consequently out of the proteflinn of their Batteries, they surrendered uitlinut resistance to our small Cruizers, although each of thrm carried a 32 and. a 6 pounder, and . had zo S'aidiers on board. It was found necessary-to destroy two of die French Vesitels, and Captain H. RATitsogNt states it to be his opinion, that al. though they ~ were need, and very fine of the sort, they could not htive been kept above water in the gale of the 25th and 26th instant. • We are happy to announce the arrival. of the • East ,India Ships Lady Castlereagh, the Prestos, and the Ettrope,".froth Bengal. The Tigress, Cap. tarn GamtAm, , .was.left at Bengal to bring home Dispatches. These vessels left Bengal in April, and consequently can bring no inforthation respell. ing the Aftion Which is said to have taken place between a .Detachment of the. British Army,: under the command of Col. Mu RR AT, and a body of Hot— ig:Att's Army, on the Bth of May, anti in which the British Troops are stated to have received a check. No conlirmatian of this event has reached the EaW Radio House, and tlierelin e the statement entirely tests upon the authority_ of priv a t e Letters. Yesterday afternoon we received Paris Papers to the 2ftli inst. and Dutch Journals to the agth. 'rimy contain very little of importance. Two English Brigs are stated to have been captured by French Private-rs. Letters from Sv,itzerland speak of corninotions in the Grt,or,s, but no particuldri have transpired. important deliberations are, it is said, expend at I.bun, but nothing is likely to arise from them that can tend to ameliorate the present situation of affairs in Europe.

PETE KSB LJRGH ) OCT. 7. —His Majesty the EM PEZOP Of Russz having learnt that the Count De ',ILIA had quitted Warsaw ,with the intention of going to Russia to meet some persons expelled from England, he caused him to be informed, that His Majesty having had relations 'with the French Government, and that Government having been recognized in Russia since ISOI, His Make,' would not suffer any thing to take place in Russia which would give reason to suppose that His Ma• jest}• had altered his system. The English Envoy io the Eledor of Hesse is said, in Letters from Frankfort, to have suddenly quitted Cassel on his return to London. TOT HE EDITOR OF SUN. LETTER IY.
