EAST INDIA INTELLIGENCE.
CALCUTTA, November 16.
ON Wednesday last, accounts were received in town of the reduction of the important fortress of Nundydroog, which was stormed late on the night of the 18th ultimo.
Notwithstanding the strength of the fortress of Nundydroog, and the obstinacy with which it was defended to the last extremity, we are happy to learn, by authentic advices, that the loss on our part, in the storm, was much less than could have been expected; only three Europeans killed, and eleven wounded.—The greater part of the garrison made their escape, and of those which remained but few were killed.
On the 19th, the day after the storm of Nundydroog, the following orders were published by Lord Cornwallis, which have been sent to us from Camp, by a correspondent:
"Head Quarters, Camp, October 19, 1791."
"G. A. O."
"Lord Cornwallis having been a witness of the extraordinary obstacles, both of nature and art, which were opposed to the detachment of the army that attacked Nundydroog, he cannot too highly applaud the firmness and exertions which were manifested by all ranks, in carrying on the operations of the siege; for the valour and discipline which was displayed by the flank companies of his Majesty's 30th and 71st regiments, as likewise those of the Madras 4th European battalion, of the 13th Bengal native infantry; 3d, 4th, 10th, 13th, 15th, and 27th, battalion Madras native infantry, that were employed in the assault of last night, and which by overcoming all difficulties effected the reduction of that important fort. His Lordship is highly sensible of the zealous and meritorious conduct of Major Gowdie, in the command of that detachment, both at the attack of Rymungur and in carrying on the laborious operation of the siege of Nundydroog, for which the Major will be pleased to accept his warmest acknowledgments."
"The whole of the officers and soldiers who composed that detachment, appear likewise to be perfectly entitled to the strongest expressions of his approbation, and he particularly desires that his warmest thanks may be presented to Major Montague, for his successful efforts in bringing the artillery into the batteries, and for the ability with which it was afterwards served. To Captain Robinson, of the 71st regiment, who commanded the European flank companies that led the assault, and to Captain McLeod, who supported the Europeans, with the flank companies of the native regiments, for gallantry and judgment, with which they discharged the duties of their respective situations. To Captain Read, for his almost unexampled perseverance in carrying on an approach, and establishing a parallel near the enemy's works on the ascent of the hill, which was calculated to facilitate the siege."
Here our correspondent apologizes for his inability to transcribe literally the remainder of the orders, on account of the then immediate departure of the despatch; he therefore generally states, that his Lordship, in the continuation of the orders, presents his warmest acknowledgments to Captain Kyd, one of his Lordship's aid-de-camps, for his very able and judicious assistance; his Lordship is also pleased to express his thanks to Lieutenant Mackenzie, of the engineers, Madras establishment; and to Lieutenant Stoke, of the corps of engineers, on the Bengal establishment; and finally, his Lordship concludes with a just and handsome compliment to General Meadows, who commanded and conducted in person the assault, for his zeal and gallantry, and for the important services rendered to his country.
Some accounts from the army mention, that treasure to a large amount has been found in the captured fortress of Nundydroog; a considerable quantity of rice and other grain, and some military stores, were also found in the fort.
The army was expected to move to the eastward about the 28th ult. for the purpose of facilitating the advance of the supplies, &c. coming from the Carnatic.
Offshore, it is imagined, will be made the grand rendezvous, preparatory to the army proceeding to Seringapatam.
Extract of a letter from the Bhow's army, dated Roydroog, the 18th of August 1791.
"From our encampment near Bangalore, to our present ground, the country is the most barren I ever beheld, in consequence of which our cattle have suffered much. The Bhow has lost a considerable number, which has obliged him to send away his heavy guns."
"On our encampment here, a large village just opposite to our encampment was summoned, but refused to surrender; on which the Bhow ordered two twelve-pounders to breach it. After the guns began playing on the South East side of the towers, several flags of truce were sent, offering the town terms of protection, if they would agree to pay tribute to the Bhow, which they obstinately refused; a
breach having been made, an order was given to an advanced party of Mahratta infantry to storm, which they did, plundered and set fire to the town. A considerable quantity of different kinds of grain was found in the town, and a good number of bullocks; great quantities of grain must have been destroyed by the fire. We expect to make two or three marches towards the Tambudra, to facilitate our supplies from the Mahratta country, after which I presume we shall move towards Seringapatam."

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE UNITED STATES.
Monday, April 9.
A Resolution for authorizing the commissioners for settling the accounts of the United States with individual states, to liquidate a claim of the state of Maryland, was taken into consideration, and agreed to, and a committee appointed to bring in a bill accordingly.
In committee of the whole on the bill apportioning representatives among the several states, &c.—Mr. Muhlenburg in the chair.
The bill being read, Mr. Clark moved to fill the first blank with 33,000. Mr. White proposed 30,000. After some debate, the question on 33,000 being put, it was carried, 34 members rising in the affirmative.
The committee then rose and reported the bill with one amendment. The House took this amendment into consideration—on the question to agree to the same, it was resolved in the affirmative—ayes, 34; noes, 30.
The blanks were then filled up, as follow: New-Hampshire, 4: Massachusetts, 14: Vermont, 2: Rhode-Island, 2: Connecticut, 7: New-York, 10: New-Jersey, 5: Pennsylvania, 13: Delaware, 1: Maryland, 8: Virginia, 19: Kentucky, 2: North-Carolina, 10: South-Carolina, 6: Georgia, 2.
It was then ordered that the bill be engrossed for a third reading, to-morrow.
A communication from the Secretary of War, pursuant to orders from the President of the United States, was read, accompanied with various papers, relative to the late expedition under General St. Clair.
Tuesday, April 10.
Passed, the bill concerning Consuls and Vice-Consuls—the bill to extend the time heretofore granted for the payment of the duties on certain teas imported since the 3d of March, 1791—and the new representation-bill.
The House then took into consideration the amendments of the Senate to the militia-bill—and agreed to the principal part; the consideration of two additional sections, proposed by the Senate, was postponed till to-morrow—and then the House adjourned.
MASSACHUSETTS.
BOSTON, March 24.
The plan of military operations on the frontiers will probably cost the United States upwards of a million of dollars for the present year. Notwithstanding this enormous expense to the States, the pay of the private soldiers in the new regiments will be but three dollars per month, that is, one half as much as the members of Congress have for one day's sitting, or for 20 miles travel.
[O Tempora! O Mores!]
The speculation-mania is not confined to capital towns, it prevails all parts of the country—a wit, at Stockbridge, lately added to a Notification for a Town-Meeting, the following article—"To see if the town will move to New-York, and enter into the business of speculation."
SHIP-NEWS—EXTRA—from PHILAD.
The Agents of the fine ship, called the NATIONAL BANK, Capt. W——, very imprudently gave permission to break up and take out her cargo—before her topmasts were struck or her sails unbent. The great number of permits that were handed the Mate, prevented his attention to the ship, until the alarm was given that the ship was on her Beam-ends—for want of ballast. Every exertion is making to get her up and keep her on her bottom.—Many of the Members of C——s, (who are adventurers in the ship) are very attentive, but meet with much difficulty as the ship has so much upper works. The fate of the FRENCH CUTTER, for Boston, is still distressing—the had but just got under way, when the was boarded by two vessels from New-York—the name of one of which is known to be the H——o, formerly a Horse droger of Connecticut. By this misfortune, the Branch thifted her ballast, and is now afloat, near the city, at high-water mark, where she will stay until the spring tides—most of her cargo was taken on board the Yorkers. It is said, a floating mill from Boston, came on board the H——o, and with the assistance of a look out boat from the same place—made a PROFITABLE CRUISE.
NEW-JERSEY.
ELIZABETH-TOWN, April 4.
Extract of a letter from New York, dated April 3.
"The city seems to be in commotion—One stoppage of payment is succeeded by another. God on-
ly knows what will be the issue, for my part I deprecate the event. The Stock-Dealers resolved on Saturday last they would not attend any sale of the Stock at auction. The bubble is burst, and we begin to revert to our senses again."
PENNSYLVANIA.
PHILADELPHIA, April 12.
Petitions are coming in to Congress from the merchants, in various places, against an increase in the Duties of Impost.
Some letters from Ireland, of a late date, say, that great apprehensions are there entertained of a commotion, in consequence of the measures pursuing by the Catholics to obtain redress of their grievances.
The British Packet , for February, arrived at New-York, yesterday.
Many accounts from Europe concur in confirming the intelligence, that the Belgic states had determined to join France, in case of a war with other confederate powers in favour of restoring the old despotic government of France. At Douay, in Flanders, and its vicinity, were assembled, about the middle of January sixty thousand men, ready to co-operate with the French against the Emperor, &c.
By accounts from Cape-Francois, to the beginning of March, it appears that the civil commissioners sent by the King and the Colonial Assembly do not agree—the consequence is a continuance of the dissensions which distract that unhappy country.
Friday last, arrived in this port, the Barque Neptune, Captain Earle from Calcutta, which she left the 20th of November, at which time Lord Cornwallis had marched from Bangalore, preparatory to the re-commencement of his operations against Seringapatam, the Capital of Tippoo's dominions.
Lieutenant Turner, who was captured by the Indians, in the late engagement under General St. Clair, is, we hear, arrived in town. Being closely pursued in the engagement by two Indians, and seeing death inevitable if he attempted further to fly or to resist, he turned about and offered his hand.—The Indians not only spared his life, but protected it from the vindictive madness of their companions. After the engagement they tho't of conveying him to the scene where the savages were revelling over their spoils; but first, one of them took the precautions of paying a visit to the camp of the victors, and seeing them much intoxicated took him to the tents of their particular tribe. Thence he was sent to Detroit, where a private English gentleman paid his ransom, released him, and took his note for the amount.
Parties run high in Ireland between the Catholics and Protestants.
April 13. The Statue of Benjamin Franklin was last Saturday fixed in its niche, over the front door of the new library in Fifth-Street.
Francois Lazzarini is the sculptor, and Ferrara the name of the place where it was executed. If the intrinsic merit of this master-piece of art did not speak its value, the name of the artist, where he is known, would evince it. Here perhaps its price may give the best idea of its worth. We have heard, but not from such a quarter, however, as positively to warrant the assertion, that it cost above 500 guineas.
PITTSBURG, March 24.
Capt. Cals, of the 2d United States regiment, marched from this place on Tuesday last, with a detachment of men for Fort Franklin. This detachment will augment the garrison to 120 men, and of which Capt. Cals is to take the command.
Captain Hughes, with a fine company of men, arrived here on Saturday last from the eastward.
MARYLAND.
BALTIMORE, April 13.
A letter from Havana, dated March 13, advises, that all foreign Vessels were, on the Day preceding, ordered to depart from that Place, by an Order from the Governor, within eight Days after the Date of the Order.
Extract from Mr. Thomas Allen's (New London) Marine List, March 22.
"Captain Lord, in the Schooner Chloe , arrived here from Aux-Cays, gives the following Information:—On the 11th of Feb. a Ship and Schooner arrived from the Cape at Aux-Cays, with about 350 Troops, several Pieces of Artillery, &c. the Inhabitants had then a Body of Men encamped on the Eminence which they had fortified, about a Mile and a Half from the Town. The Mulattoes had also an Encampment on another Eminence about a Mile from them, and had thrown up Works for their Defence. In consequence of the Troops arriving, a Plan was formed to attack the Mulattoes' Camp, which was put in execution on the Morning of the 18th February, by new Troops, Part of the Militia, Sailors from the Camp, and a Company of Negroes. The Mulattoes sustained a heavy Fire from the Field-Pieces and the Musketry for some Time, and then abandoned their Camp in great Confusion, leaving their Colours flying and their dead behind. Their General (Blake) was wounded and taken by a Party of Negroes, as they were carrying him off; they found about 20 Mulattoes dead in the Fort, 15 of whose Heads they brought into Town on their Bayonets—Blake was next Day executed in the Market, first broke and then burnt; the Mulattoes retreated to their Encampment about 9 Miles from Town, and since that Time they have burned a Number of Plantations on the Plain, and it was feared they would destroy the greatest part of them.—"

It was reported that one of their principal Leaders (one Reago) had arrived with a large Body of Mulattoes from the Neighbourhood of Port-au-Prince, to join their main Body. However, it was thought the Inhabitants, in conjunction with the new Troops were meditating an Attack on them in their other Encampments, which would be put in execution very soon."
APRIL 17.
The Treasurer of the United States attended the public sales of Stock, in Philadelphia, on Friday last, and purchased at the following prices:
Six per cents, for cash, 208. Three per cents, for cash, 128. Deferred, for cash, 12 5/8
A gentleman just arrived here from Cap-Francois, (via New-castle) which place he left the 28th ult. furnishes the following intelligence:—That upwards of four thousand troops had arrived there from France, and more were daily expected—that a detachment of the troops had marched out and were attacked by the negroes—that the troops charged, and killed upwards of Six Hundred of the insurgents, among whom were two white and one negro chief, whose heads were brought into town and placed on spikes in the market-place—that the army of the whites had only four men wounded—that the day before he failed a general embargo took place, (which was, however, taken off next morning) on account of an idea prevailing; among the lower class of people and the soldiery, that the Governor was friendly to the negroes—that the Governor was, in consequence, obliged to appear at the Town-House—that the mob fiercely demanded his head; but a proposal being opportunely made to send him to France, the mob were appeased for the night.—The gentleman above mentioned cannot tell how the affair terminated, as he failed the next morning.

ALEXANDRIA, April 19.
Extract of a Letter from a Gentleman in England to his Friend in this Neighbourhood, 26th Jan. 1792.
"I pay no attention to the Science, or the Intrigues of Government, but so far as they affect the people. Do you live quietly in America?—in your part of it, I mean—if you do be thankful; it is more than we do here. Have you any overgrown Men-of-Fortune, who bestride their neighbours, and torment those whom Providence certainly meant they should assist?—If you have done such, the new world has surely (in one instance) an advantage over some part of the old one.
"I promise myself the pleasure of a few lines from you when opportunity serves, and, therefore, must ask one question more and that may serve as a cue for other matters, when you write—"Have you seen Mr. Wathington?" His character now, when all the madness of "Losses by the American War" has subsided, is exceedingly high in this kingdom; and he is contemplated with admiration as a Soldier, a Citizen and a Legislator. I hope he was destined to be a blessing to millions of his fellow creatures yet unborn, who will have great obligations to his fortitude and his moderation."
WINCHESTER, April 16.
A gentleman of this town arrived last evening from Pittsburg—he brings the melancholy tidings of fresh calamities on the frontier—three families, consisting of 20 persons, were all massacred by the savages on the 9th instant, about 4 miles from West-Liberty, in the county of Ohio. These unfortunate people, thinking themselves insecure in residing in separate habitations, had agreed to live together, and stockaded themselves in; and a person who went to view their plan of defence, was the first that discovered, and made known, the sad event.
MARTINSBURG, April 24.
Governor St. Clair having resigned his commission of Major-General of the army, Anthony Wayne, Esq. has been appointed in his stead, and will accordingly succeed to the command of the troops destined for the protection of the frontiers—And the following gentlemen are proposed as Brigadier-Generals; General Morgan, of Virginia; General Brooks, of Massachusetts; General Wilkinson, of Kentucky, and Col. Willet, of New-York.
The Senate of the United States have amended the representation bill, so as that the next House of Representatives will consist of 120 Members.
At an election held in this town on Tuesday last, Major Andrew Waggoner and Robert Throckmorton, Esq. were chosen delegates to represent this County in the next General Assembly.
Thursday last the noted Johnson was tried at the Honorable District Court, held at Winchester, for the crime of horse-stealing, when the jury found him guilty.
By accounts from Savannah (via New-York) it appears that Gen. Bowles had taken a small fort belonging to the Spaniards, in consequence of which the Governor of East-Florida has offered a reward of Two Thousand Dollars for his head.
The President of the United States has refused his assent to the representation bill. Another bill has been framed in the House of Representatives, and will probably pass at the ratio of one for every thirty thousand, according to the principles of the constitution.
MARRIED ] William McGuire, Esq. of Winchester, Attorney at Law, to Miss Polly Little, of this County.
We are happy to inform the public, that the recruiting service is attended with great success in this town—to judge from present appearances, the company now enlisting under that meritorious and brave officer, Capt. STEPHENSON, will, in a very few weeks, be completed.

Federalist's Pedigree
I do hereby certify, that the Black Stud Colt, sold Major John Prior, was got by Lass, his Dam by Fearnought, out of Col. Facer's famous imported Mare Celuma, who was got by the Godolphin Arabian, and judged to be the finest Mare that was ever imported into America. The above stud was bred on the estate of the Hon. John Taylor.
