BOSTON, October 24.
We have received the Leyden Papers to August
40. The fubitance of what they contain, be
sides what has been published, is—
That the French reinforcement for the East-
Indies, had arrived there befoie the British sent
out by Commodore Johnftone : That the force
of Count de Orves was superior for fume time
to Admiral Hughes, and that he had landed at
Pondicherry, a fine body of European troops, to
join Hyder Ally: That he had taken the Hanni
bal, anEnglifh 50 gun ship, on the 18th January :
That on the 16th of February, a large detach
ment of Brjtilh forces, under the orders of Col.
Braithwait, was attacked by Tippo Sail, one of
Hyder's Generals ; that the action lasted eight
hours; and that on the 18th Col. Braithwait
surrendered himfelf and his whole army, con
fining, according to the British account, of
1500 Seapoys, a company of European troops,
and a train of artillery, with 12 cannon ; thatall
the British officers, except one, were either kil
led or wounded : That the Britiih reinforcement
under Commodore Bickerton, had fared no bet
ter that that under General Meadows, having
got by the last accounts no farther than Brazil,
and having loft by sickness more than half their
number since they left England. Letters from
India mention how much the British forces has
been weakened there by sickness and many actions.
Calicut, on the coast of Malabar, where was a
Dutch factory, was taken by General Abingdon
on the 13th of February. By the last accounts
the army of General Coote and Munroe were
notin a condition to face Hyder after his rein
forcement by the French fleet.
LaftWednefday evening arrived atSaletn, a car
tel, in 12 days from Newfoundland, and brought
292 American prisoners, among whom are the
crews of the Junius Brutus and other privateers
from that port, lately captured by the enemy :
By the above cartel we have the following in
teresting intelligence brought by a frigate, with
dispatches for Admiral Cambell, in fourteen
days from England, viz.—That the British man
of war the Royal George, Admiral Kernpenfelt,
of iio guns being heeled to leeward, for the pur
pose of repairing a cock on the opposite fide, was
by a sudden gust of wind, overfet and funk, she
was laying, when this accident happened, at
Spithead, and, including women and children,
had on board between twelve and thirteen hun
dred fouls, about eighty of whom only were sa
ved; the Admiral with near twelve hundred
men, women and children, being loft : That
Lord Howe had failed with a fleet for the relief
of Gibraltar :—And that the important news
from the East-Indies, of the French having cap
tured three British men of war, of 74 guns each,
and all the English company's (hips, was confi
dently said by the British themselves, to be true.
The news from England by the above frigate,
is said to be as late as 42 days, from this time,
The State ship Tartar, has sent into port a
prize brig, laden with 2700 bushels of salt.
The following interesting intelligence is taken
from an Engliih print of ^ug. 12.
" Our readers may rest aflured that Mr. Fitz
herbert, the British Resident at Brussels, has
been appointed to succeed Mr. Grenville as the
pacific negotiator at Paris. He left Brussels im
mediately on the appointment of fjord Temple
to the Lord Lieutenancy, when Mr. Grenville
was recalled; and several dispatches have pall
between him and the mimller since his residence
in France.
Mr. Potter, the King's messenger, was sent
with the last advices to him from this country,
on Monday lad. The appointment ofSir Joseph
Yorke to this employment has never been 111 agi
tation by government, notwithfianding it has
been so repeatedly and so positively averted in
the public prints.
Advice is received from Paris, by the way of
Oftend, that one of the grandees from Spain is
daily expected to arrive in that city, a hotel be
ing taken up for him, and fitting up for his recep
tion; and it is reported there that he is appoint
ed Plenipotentiary, to confider of treating about
peace with England, in concert with the other
powers at war, and to desire that there may be a
meeting held in Paris for that purpose.
