" A rapture between holkaar, a Mahratta Chief,
and the Com;a # ly, was much expected ;Sc it was al
b so whispered that Pigu would soon fall into the hands
of the English. On this subject, however, no surmise
could possibly be formed from the Gazette of Cal
cutta ; as not a syllabic appears in them which has
not previously undergone examination by the Chief
Secretary to Government ; who expunges such ar
ticles as he thinks proper.
6b There had been a number of French privateers
from the Plc of France, cruising in the Bay of Ben
gal, several of which had been taken by English
croziers, and sent into Calcutta.—They had been
at Bencooien, and destroyed a quantity of pepper,
and several vessels in the harbour.
"There had been twoembargoes n all shipping at
Calcutta, and oil the river Hongiy 1i consequence of
the sailing of the Company's ships for Europe."
Another Emperor —A late letter from AuecCayes
mentions, that the English Admiral who has com*
municated with the negroes of the island, has put
it into the head Gen. Dessalinks, to cause him
self to be proclaimed " Emperor of Hayti" and that
be was to be crowned in a few days at Foit-au-

TUESDAY, AUGUST 28.
From AMSTERDAM.
It appears from Dutch papers received in town
to the 30th June, under the Paris head of 25th June,
that Georges and eleven others were guilotined
ii the fore part of that day,—that those eight which
were condemned to death and to whom the Empe
ror has extended his mercy, have been condemned
to be confined in the State's Prison for four years
and after that to be transported ; that Jules Polig,
nac, has also been sentenced to two vears impris

The Election.
Agreeable to notification, the Inhabitants of this
town, assembled yesterday to choose five Gentlemen
to represent them in Congress, Hon. John Lang
don was cliosen Moderator. We are to notice that
the Federal Republican candidates have been more
strongly supported than has been the case for several
years' past. At our lust Spring Election of State
Officers, Gov. Gilman had 227—Mr. Langdon
639 votes.

DOLLARS.
By our last London price current, (July 4) Dollars
were at one hundredand two cents, and plenty. An
act had passed the British Parliament, allowing the
Bank of England to recoin dollars ; —after which
they passed at one hundred and ten cents. These
new crowns were not considered as part of the coin
of the realm. Mr. Pitt, on the debate of the bill
said, "he thought the only view in which those coins
could be considered, was as Bank Notes issued for
small sums,and stamped on silver instead of paper.
Thev were recoining bv Mr. Boulton, and bear the
British King's head finely struck, instead of that of
the Spanish monarch. Their restampment was exe
cuted with great dispatch—no less than 528 being
struck in a mmutq; and the cost one farthing a dol
lar. Mam mdliM; s had been recoined ; and as they
pass for more thin their intrinsic value, they were not
exported, and the >ank gained a round sum by the
^lbUshment of Monarchy in France ; arid Very
little opposition to the march of Buonaparte, and
his family, to the throne Sc fortunes of the Bourbons.
The measure of their elevation was not effected by
any interference of the army ; and the civil consti
, tilted authorities have ratified cith unanimity the
decree of the Senate which ordained the mea
sure.—ls may be fact, that People in some of the
Departments have Expressed dissatisfaction at see
ing a new and heretofore obscure family, so suddenly

" The news of the war in Europe reached Cal
cutta about the beginning of December,in censer nence
of whi a number of sailers were impressed from

<3apt. Page. A great number of American seamen,
fold deserted their ships in the months of September
October and November, and volunteered on board

dore Preble had sailed from Messina, with his squa
dron, four bomb-vessels and four large gun-boats,
which Mr. Cathcart, the late Consul at Tripoli had
borrowed of the King of Naples ; for the bombard
ment of Tripoli. The squadron, we also hear, was
