the month of December, without being
able to meet with Tippo, he returned,
with the two other detachments under
Mufgrave and Kelley, to Tripkinopoly.
In the mean time Tippo had feat a
detchment zgainft Dareparam without
being perceived by either of the armies
and took it by capitulation, agreeing to
escort the garrison in fa'ety, with uieir
baggage unmolested, stipulating that
they were not to duty again!! him da
ting the present war. The firft arti
cle has been ftri&ly adheared to,and the
troops captured were inactively, encamp
ed near Mauras, in January left.
The Bombay army, during this time,
had not been inactive. Col. Hartley at
tacked and carried Caananore, and fol
lowing the besieged into the town, took
some prisoners; The Bibby, or Queen
of Cannanore, with her children and
treasure, had some time before taken
refuge at the Lackdives. Gen. Aber
crombie had left Bombay, with a large
detachment, and was joined by 12 000
^lahratta horse, upon tie coast of Mala
' Dar. The Nizam, or Saoah Decan,
was also in force against Tippo.
Earl Cornwallis was at. Madras, the
10th of January, waiting for Gn.
Meadows, who was expetted the 12th
from Trichiuopoly, and it was fully be
lieved his Lordship would take the field
as soon as a reinforcement arrived from
Bengal of 2500 Europeans, fcapoys, ar
tillery and cavalry, together with a bat
talion of Elephants. The whole, except
the Elephants, embarked in December,
and the Elephants had proceeded by
land.
In fhert, the prefect campaign bids
fair to be the mod vigorous of any ex
erted by the English E^fi India Compa
ny, since they have formed a feiiement
upon the Peninfib of India : And
Mould they not proceed, the word con
fcq&.nccs may be expected to happen to
them.•
Tippo's military ehoiiihment nt the
commencement of holliliti's is as follow :
—Regulars 72,800, including 740 Eu
ropeans, under the coremand of French
officers ; be tides -troupe in the frontier
garrifoas, to the amount of 49,000. The
remainder of his force conulb of irregu
lars, of various defcript:ons, and tuncunt
to 33,400 ; So that his whole force nay be
reckoned at 155,000 of which are 78,000
bfaclrfs much fuperiour in discipline
than any ever raised by a native of ledia.

We have received various accounts of
the prefect Race of the French Weil In
dia Illands. Some make it to be that
of difeontent and aimed open rebellion
— that the National Cockade had been
trampled on—the Biicnh Cockade intro
duced in its Read—and that the inland
ers had sent to Jamaica, ahd elsewhere,
desiring protection from the BririOi
government. That they had obftruded
the landing of a body of troops, lately
Arrived from France, and had forced the
veflfels conveying them to return back.
The cause of this cohdea is said to be a
decree of the National Assembly grant
ing to the MaUatbes, in the Weft-Indies,
the fame privileges as the Whites enjoy.
Other accounts contradict the above
arid fay, that tranquility & contentment
pre restored in the islands, and' that no
Cockade was to be seen but the National
one. In this confufion of information,
it is difficult to fay, wh ; ch may be re
lied on. And all our inquiries have not
removed our doubts. One thing we
mention, on the veracity of a gentleman
from France—that the National As
sembly did paf# such an Act as is said
to be the cause of the above diffatisfa&i
on;that,on the representation of the mu
nicipalities and others, to the King, he
had re/ufed to sign it, and had sent it
back to the Assembly—and that in con.
feqaence of this refufal it had not be
come a Law.
