London, August 30. Saturday morning, an express arrived
from Balfora, (forwarded by Sir Robert Ainfiie, his Majesty's
Ambaffadour at Conftantiuopje) with intelligence, that Sir Eyre
Coote had had three engagements with Hyder Aly, in the Lift
which he gained a compleat and decisive victory, Hyder's
^ army being routed and dispersed, and reduced to the
grei&ft diftrefi for want of prorilions. It is added, that a
mifuhderftanding has taken place between Hyder Aly and the
French, xach accusing the other of a breach of their engage
roents. Hyder had promised the French a large sum of mo
,'v, and they had promised to join him with fix battalions
of^urupeans; However, neither party fulfilled their engage
ments; Hyder paid no money, and the French brought no
troops except the marines belonging to the different (hips of
the squadron, which had retired (after Hyder's defeat) to the
Mauritius, in very bad condition. Thus our affairs are once
mote in a prosperous situation in the Carnatic: Sir Eyre Coote
is Glorious by land, and Sir Edward Hughes rides triumphant
onl^c coast. A treaty of peace is nearly concluded with the
Mahrattas, by which hyderwdl be dripped of the greatest part ,
of his dominions. The rebel v such carried the express to .
Buffcra, left Bombay the Bth of April: They had received
intelligence some week's before of the rupture with the Dutch,
and were preparing to attack their different fcttkments and
factories. , , , c
The India dispatches mention, that the reason why the
French squadron did not go into Madrafs road was, their fee-'
ing five large (hips riding at anchor, whi.uthey mistook for
Sir Edward Hughes's fquadron.and Iherp'ore hood on to Pon
dicherry. The five drips were lndiamcn, which had unloaded
their cargoes.

the Spaniards, and that they will food have reason sorely to
repent of having become the dupes of French Councils and
