It is the chief design of our present publication
tosuomil to the publtrk a view of the extraordina
ry events that are now pasting on the coast, and
which are of such momentous consequence, as al
most to preclude at the present moment, attention
to any other objects.
His majesty's 6\3lh regiment arrived at Madrass
on the 8th inst. on board the Cornwallis frigate,
the Boomooluli and Wyndham country ships. Off
Ceylon, the Cornwallis saw a French frigate ; but
«aptam Montague could not give chace, under
the positive orders with which he was charged, res
pecting the troops proceeding under bis convoy to
Madras.
The Cornwallis sailed from Madras tnthenorth
ward, in consequence of some unpleasant intelli
gence from thence.
The military assembled at Madras, under the or
ders of government of that piesidency, were to
march on the 12th inst. for Vellore.

G. O. Para—1. The honourable the governor
. in council, judges it proper to announce to the na
tive troops. that the very improper conduct of some
of the European officers of the company’s service,
and the refusal of others to acknowledge their al
legiance to the government, have rendered it indis
pensably necessary to remove for a time a consider
able number of European officers from the exercise
of authority. g*
2. Tfcjs measure will not however affect in any
respect tne situution of the native troops, who must
know that their first doty is to the government
which they serve, «nd from which all authority is
derived.
3. The governor in council entertains the same
solicitude for the welfare and comfort of the native
troops that has invariably been manifested by the
British government.
4. He has no intention whatever of making any
changes in their situation, and h* expects that the
natire troops will disp^y oo every emergency the
‘Unshaken fidelity to government which constitutes
the first duty of a soldier, that they will obey with
seal the orders of the officers whom the gnvernmeill
shall place in authority over them, that they will
refuse a belief to all reports calculated to agitate
their minds and diminish their roniiJenre in the go
vernment, and that they will.not allow themselves
to be. involved in measures in any respect adverse
to their duty and allegiance.
5. The governor in caunril is pleased to express i
his approbation of the good conduct which has
■been recently manifested by the native troops at the
•Presidency, in the camp at the Mount, at Trichi
njpoly and at Vellore, and he is confident that their
behaviour will be equally correct ana loyal ut all o
thrr stations of the army.

The honourable the governour in council has
been pleased to resslve, that all the European
offirets of the company's service who may be

26’th July last, shall be permitted to choose a place
for iheir residence,until further orders, between .Ma

which they are not afterwards to proceed beyond
the distance of five miles, without the permission
of th» governour in council.

Don Manuel Fretre, general and commander of
the cavalry of the army of La Mancha, writes
under date of the 6th, “ I alight at this village
(Muddle joss) after pursuing the enemy, who made
his retreat by the way of Mora; he has also re
treated from Conturgra, and Caurunuas ; our ca
valry which was at Vrda, has advanced to the for

posts the enemy’s cavalry were from Sh'OO to 3000 ;
he has also some at Temhleqne and in Guardia."
The same general under date of the gth of No
vember, from Tembleque, writes that he has forced
the French position of Guardia. While this action
rovers the general and his army with honour, it re
stores the province of La Mancha to Spain.
