CALCUTTA GAZETTE, MAY 22. —Two Dutch Cartels,. for Columbia, Ailed from - Batavia on the gth of March. A Dutch Frigate and two armed Sloops were laid up at Batavia when the Cartels sailed from thence: By the last accounts from India,- SCINDIA was in. the neighbourhood of Joudpore, many hundred miles from the Company's frontier, endeavouring to lay bOld o(the Rajah, and to.eStablish his right of tri bute in that country. Mr. 11',ACER, the British Re sident; is with him. Sir G. BAnLow, in conformity, it is said, of orders from home, has given up the alliance . with the . Rajpoor State of Jeypore. HO LKAR was'near to Jeypore, insisting on t 1 yeai-s oftilbute due to hirn t ; but theaajah offers a very small sum; HOLKAR is not able to do any mischief to the city of Jeypore, but his people are laying waste the coun try : his Penclarries attacked some villages in the Rajah's country, but were repulsed. with loss, and it is reported, that he is sending a force to . levy tri bute and lay waste the country.; dur gallant Tars special 'attention is due. on all occasions. These brave fellows often fag hard to crown themselves with laurels and prize:money. There is now a first-rate Ship just afloat, that carries most extraordinary heavy metal—five, -ten, twenty, Ind even thirty thousand• pounders! We allude to the rri'agnitudinous new Lottery Scheme, Most solid lybuilt and - ttect out. A small Adventure in it, from their prize-money gained. at sea, .may speedily anchor many of them in the harbour of plenty, and lay a foundation for 'their prpmotion' in the Navy.— And, ,to their Sweethearts, what present so likely to gain their . stuiles, as that of a Share of a Lottery Ticket ?. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.--A Porter, belonging to the Gloucester Coffee-house, Piccadilly; of the name of Judge, was charged with-opening a basket con taining game; and also, with a fraud on Mr. CHAI LEI43. The Prosecutor ) .a banker, in Boner -street, received a basket containing a bare, from a friend in the , West of England, on Monday, and also a letter; hut, to his surprise, the hare, which was exceed- , ingly stab, did not answer the description of the. one spoken of _in the letter. The sum of :3s. 6d., was also demanded. fbr the'carriage of the basket, by a stranger who delivered it: In consequence of the imposition, information was given at the coach-office. It was there ascertained that . the hare had not only been exchanged by the Prisoner, but that he had altered the ticket of carriage delivered to him at the office, from 2s. 6cl. to 3s. 6d.. and employed another. person to deliver the basket, who, it appeared, had received the ticket after it had been altered. The -Prisoner was committed for trial, for the fraud • PUBLIC-OFFICE, HATTON-GARDEN. : John Turner, aieears of age, was charged by a lit) , crier in Middle Row; Holborn, with thrusting his hand through a broken square of glass, and stealing ,some stockings. He was fully-committed, but is W . be brought up again, on' suspicion, in company with other lads, of having hustled Mr. Dermot, .some nights ago, in Field-lane, and stealing from his per son a valuable watch; for which two lads have been already committed for trial. The Officers of Excise summoned several retail grocers, and a wine-merchant, for Lefrauding the Revenue, when they were'conviaed in mitigated penalties, and the goods forfeited. IVATZRFORD, Nor: io. . On - Monday last, between -eleven and twelve o'clock, the Right Hon. Sir,Joi-w NEWPORT, Bart. attended by an immense concourse of his friends, proceeded 'froth the New Boorns to the City Court House." On "".leis arrival, the Sheriff read His Ma jesty's Precept for electing a Member to represent the City of Waterford in Parliament. Mr. Bor4m having declined standing a Poll, ROBERT PAULL, Esq. - rose, a - nd, in a speech of considerable length . and talent, of which we can give'but a feint sketch, addressed the Eleelors. He observed, that in prtiposing his friend and. fellow citizen, the Hon, Sir John Newport, as a fit. and proper pergon to represent thegreat.commercial City of Waterford in the Imperial Parliament, be merely anticipated their anxious wishes, and only spoke the public mindindeed, when he contem plated the high elm:tad, and 'llh-impeached integri ty of the worthy • Baronet—his Parliamentary con ddel—his. high station, so intorwdven with the tit airs" of the country=--his eminent talents his close and unremitting attention to the revenue and finances of Ireland; a' SubjeCt connected with the, national prosperity, and the comfo'rt and happiness "of every man in the liiii;dornw hen be considered all this, he Was really asNnished that any serious op position could have beeil4 4 4ltended: -It .Such a man, with such irresistible to their confidenCe, was deprived-of his seat in Parliament, it would. not ,be merely a reproach for the city of Waterford, but, in the peculiar situation of the country, a national mis fortune. He had another strong inducement for proposing the Right Hon. Baronet to his fellow-citizen,when lie reflected, on our distance from the seat of GO vernment, and that,. by the high station he held, he had it in his power 'to represent the ..sentiments of his countrymen to our gracious SOereign, he-might 'say, with truth, that the age ofbigotry, intolerance, and di'ssatisfaCtion, was at an end—that all ranks were' united, heart and handoo support a Constitu tion which he conidered the best in the world, and would cheerfully sacrifice their lives and fortunes in opposit)g that monstrous and arbitrary despotism which has enslaved the greatest part of Europe. After observing that our veneration for the Consti tution could only continue so long, as our Represen tatives in Parliament were faithful to the People, Mi. Paull said, he felt pr:de as an Irishman in earn estly recommending the Chancellor of the g,che- • quer to the Eledors: in him refintA taste and delica cy of genius were united with .the mogt persevering application_ to the dull business of financehe was a plant of Irish growth, which he wished to cherish Until it' expanded itself in the "sunOine of British applause. If they unanimously returned him on the last Eledion, how much stronger. were his claims on the present occasion, when he had passed the ordeal of public opiniOn, and come out pure and unsullied.— After making several other. observations, the Hon. Gentle Man concluded by moving, that Sir J: New port be elected to represent the City of Waterford in Parliament. THOMAS WYSE, Esq. of the Manor of St. John, seconded the Motion. Sir JOHN NEWPORT immediately arose, and ad dressed the Elelors in a speech which was much admired for neatness of language and perspicuity of arrangement. We regret our inability to report it with any pretension to accuracy, as, from the ex treme pressure of the crowd, weowere wholly unable to take notes. He said, that in addressing himself to the Eledors of Waterford, his friends and tellOw 7 citizens, he had a most pleasing duty to, perform : he had to assure them, that wile he had life in his bosom, he would gratefully feel and acknoWledge the repeated flattering proofs of kindness and attach ment they had honoured him with, and that the prosperity of his .native city should be the unceasing objets of his warmest solicitude. It had pleased his gracious .Sovereign to intrust to his yare the financial business of this country, and his inofit attire exer tions should be uniformly devoted to weigh, in the nicest manner, the burdens .4, the people and the imperious necessities of the Stkte.. The, present cri sis unquestionably required. considerable aid, and large contributions were necessary to resist that in- Veterate enemy, whose ambition and thirst of domi nion had swept away all GovernMents that opposed his graSping tyranny, but whO, if he dared to attack -this country, would no doubt find hearis as firm, and hands as strong, as those that met and defeated his. legions in the deserts of Egypt and on. the Plains of It had been his lot to be called to the Court of his Sovereign at the same time with . men who - had carried into the Cabinet lof their King the affe6tion of his people ; .with thelate great Statesman, whose untimely 10Y/lEu - rope, and the whole civilized world; lament, snatched from the ..Country at a period. of the most momentous importance to the State. He had, however, the satisfaaion ofrefieding, that the same spirit which animated that _great man,. equally aauated his noble friend, with whom it was his pride and glory to have been conceited from his .child hood ; and he was well warranted in asserting; that not even the illustrious chara&er before alluded to,felt More strongly the vital importance of the well-being of Ireland to the Empire, nor was more anxiously disposed to promote her interests. From the illustrious Nobleman who presided over this kingdom, the nation had every thing to hope, which could tend to its happiness and welfare. His Grace was'fully impressed with the importance of those great and constitutional dcarines Which.dis tinonished the hot; se of Russel", and he accepted office, to use his own words, with the express in tention' of enforcing the due execution of the laws, without infringing the liberty of the subject. If the worthy Eleitars of Waterford thought fit to honour him ,with a renewal of their confidence, he would faithfully promise the same, watchful and. persevering attention to their' interests which, be was proud to, believe, had -already obtained. their ap probation. nowever deficient he may be in ability,. in integrityand assiduity he would yield to no man.• Mr. l'Atru:s- motion was then put by the Sheriff, and unanimously carried. Sir J. NEWPORT, in a short speech,. returned un- feigned thani4s to the Eleaors. Thus honoured by his Sovereign — and his Country, he felt - himself a * proud man ; their confidence had impressed --------- . 1 - o i 4 DON Printed by RICHARD HARitts,of No. 4, Martlett-court, Row_street ; and published by W LLkA s/ A R mi Glut SCRI p es , o f s oot !, 0.,,:j0n-strut, Groivermr-s-Plarc; At tlic SwN-OiFics, straudi where Advertisements, Orders for the I,6‘ter: for_the Editor, &c.

TRAVELLING ARTILLERY.—An interest ing-experiment has recently been made in the Ar tillery. Lieut. Colonel CRICHTON, with two - 6- pounders, mounted on a new construCtiOn of his in venf,on, together withthe Artillerymen attached to them, was ordered to set out from Edinburgh for Woolwich, taking post-horses at the ordinary stages. One of the axle-trees broke on the road, which occasioned a considerable stop, and some other delays occurred—yet the party reached Woolwich, a distance or 400 miles, in .seventy seven hours, 'the men arriving in perfect condition for service. So great a journey was chosen, in or der that sufficient observation might be made of the different effects from length, of stages, or quality of road. In" consequence of the accident which had happened, a veeond experiment was directed. The party went from Woolwich to Southampton and returned to Woolwich in 24 hours, without fa tigue, the distance travelled being 160 miles. The experiment has - proved, that powder may be thus carried without danger from the friaion which has - hitherto been apprehended from any great ve locity, of movement.. "l'he obje& of these trials has been to ascertain whether; in case of -an Enemy's landing at any distant point where few or no guns might be stationed, a powerful force - of Artillery could not be transported to the spot -before the inva, 'der should hare made, any progress. The result has been. satisfactory, not only on this head, but pro mises • the means of considerable savitigs ; for, if Artillery can be thus for Warded by securing a cer tain number of horses in .the neighbourhood, at given points, incase of an invasion, a material dimi nutionmight probably be made in the number con-, stantly kept at the great Ordnance.Dep,ot. We. un derstand that the alteration of the 'carriages is a very trifling expellee. A back which had strayed from the park of Mr.. CHALLER,• at Sussex, about two years since, alter an eKeellent'chace, was taken a few days ago, and turned out for a second hunt before the hounds of Mr. CAMPION, of Panby, near Patcham, on Friday last. The field was uncommonly well attended. Upwards of 200 horsemen, consisting of the most dashing sportsmen in that part of the world being present., Many carriages . filled with nobility attended from Brighton. The weather was favour able, and truly a more animated scene than the field presented had not been seen for . many preceding years. The huntsman and his whipper 7 in had each of them new clothing, green, with black •caps. The chace at length commenced, and all parties were in an instant in motion, proper law having been given to the buck. The dogs acquitted themselves in a capital style ; for many wiles a table-Cloth would have covered the whole pack. After stn admirable chace of several hours, the dogs ran in upoathe stag in Clayton 'Wood; whom they would have.presently destroyed, but for the interposition of the huntsman, He was taken from the fit:„ld in a cart, but his velvet coat was so much torn by t.N.,e. teeth of his pursuers, tha!`it is supposed, if preserved) he never will be in condition to afford anotherday'siN.lort. The sports-. men at length retired well pleased wii.;ithe'diversion they had enjoyed; In the former chace wmAN, Esq. of Newtiinber, had a eaPital horse dr3t uudcr him with fatigue, and 5.% hich died soon after. BUENOS, AYRES. This fertile province is remarkable for two ,kinds, of 'wild animals, Wild Oxen and /kW Dogs. The number of Wild : Oxen here is so great, that every year 00,000 art libiled solely for the s a ke.of their hides. About 20 ~hunters on horsebackTro ceed to the spot where these animals are known to - herd, having in their hands a long stick, shod with iron, very sharp, with which they strike the ox that they pursue, on one of ,the hind legs, and they make the blow so adroitly, that they almost always cut the sinews in two above the joint. The animal weal after wards falls, and cannot rise again. The htinters, in steadof„stopping, pursue the other oxen at full gallop, • with the reini,loose, sulking - in the same manner all which they overtake 5 thus .eighteen or.twenty men will with ease fell 7 or 800 oxen in one hour. Whet • they are tired of the exercise, they-dismount to refit. and afterwards, without danger, knock On the head the . oxen which they have wounded. After taking the skin, and sometimes the tongue and suet, they leave .the rest tar the birds of prey. is old Dogs.—These ferocious animals have de scended from some of the domestic kinds that have formerly gone astray, and have multiplied to an ex cessive degree in the countries near Bump's Ayres. They live under ground, in holes, which may be easily discovered by the quantity of bones heaped .round them. it may be, with propriety supposed that some time or another, when the Wild Oxen are destroyed, so that the Dogs eautiot obtain them, they - will fall-upon men; One., of the Governors of Buenos Ayres thought this subjed so well worth his attention, that he sent some soldiers to destroy the 'Wild D&-gs, and they killed agree number of therm with their muskets. But on their return they were insulted by the women and- children of the town, who are very insolent : they called them matapekros, which means dog-killers : whence it bas happened, that the men, dishep - rtehed by a false shame, ha f e never returned to that kind of hunting."
