We have the pleasure to Announce the at.e arrival
of the undermentioned ships from Bengal, viz.
oot:ere:ugh Captain Edwards
P»•tan C. 041.4 Stunuch
Europe Captain Gikton

Early yesterday afternoon, the Pursers of the
Praition and Ea, •fte arrived at the India House, with
the welcome intelligence of their having left the
above shin safe at anchor, in Plymouth Sunni, on
the evening of the lith inst.
The Europe and Lady C0:J(1..686 sailed fritm Ben-
gal, for Bencoolen, the id April, under convo,.. of

the Hon. Company's /Ameba!, frigate, and the armed
ship, Lord antismog& They arrived there the ath
May ; the Preston, under convoy of the Teigameseh,
of 20 guns, belonging to the Marine at Bombay,
and joined the above-mentioned ships at Bencoolen,
about the 14th May. The Trr:‘:mmut.th left Ben-
coolen for Bombay, and the other five ships sailed
from thence the Bth June ; the Bombay frigate and
Lord antlereog4 continuing in company about a
week; the Ewope, Lady Casthrrogb, and Preston,
continued their voyage without convoy, and arrived
at St. Helena the I 4th August. They sailed from
thence the II th September, with the Corsmatt and
Omen whalers, which vessels parted from the India-
men a day or two afterwards.
No ships were left at St. Helena, nor had any
acco..nt b•ren received there of the Prise,: of Wert.
The circumstance of the;e vessels havinl been de-
tails:A so long at Benconlen, gave rise to the un-
pleasant repo, which was last week in circulation,
of their having fallen in with the enemy. They
may, however, be considered a; particularly fortu-
nate, as they came the latter part of their voyage
witl.our. convoy.
The following is a correa list of the passengers on
board the Preston and Ea, cpr, the only ships whose
Pursers had arrived at a late hour last night.

Yesterday morning we received Paris Papers to
the 21J, and last night the Dutch Papers up to the
29th, the latest possible date, the latter we be-
lieve exelerively. An article from Frankfort
states, that in prosecution of a plan to fortify
Mentz, BON AP MITI intends to occupy several
places upon the right bank of the Rhine. Should
this prove to be the fiat, it will be another vio-
lation of the territory of the German empire.
One of the first blessings attending By:: AAAAA E.&
visit to tl..e vicinity of Franckfort, has been an
order to the Senate of that city, to prohibit all po-
litical discussion, whether written or oral, and
" all mercantile and political transaitions, which
may be made use of, by foreign states, in a way
contrary to the law of nations." Ti.is precious
order for gagging all the citizens of Franckfort is
evidently intended to boh-,r up the false accusation
of :Arises Dc Ls 'Coucus in the pretended affair of
Mr. DIA Kr. in which the Frankfort Merchants were
represented as English Financial Agents.—With
a view t.l excite the jealnusy of Austria, the I)utch
Journals have been in►a titled to say, that the in-
surgent Servians upon its frontiers have sent depu-
ties to Russia to demand succours and proteSion ;
and, with a view also, to remove all apprehension of
a rupture between Russia and Franco, we are assured
that the new order for recruiting the Russian army is
only upnn the scale of the usual peace establish-
ment. The camp at Zeist will break up this week,
when the troops destined for the immediate con-
quest of England will march leisurely into their
winter quartets, when they will, no sfoubt, con-
sole themselves for this delay and disappointment, by
plundering their Dutch friend+. New insutrt &ions
in Switzerland chew the blessings of French frater-
nity in that once happy, but now wretched country.

An Evening Print, formerly the organ of the Cor-
responding Society, but now as loyal as servility
upon its side, and liberality upon the part of Go.
*eminent, can make it, says, " Some time ago, we
published a letter from Iceland, mentioning dis-
coveries that had been made at Leighlin bridge.
Mans of our contemporaries considered the intelli-
gence it contained as unfounded. We should have
been happy to have• found that o, have been tac
fat. The Dublin Papers were pa• ticulaily
against us. Those very Papers have now made the
following communication :

" Dublin, 00. St 3

" Y.oteriLly eveitinr., ft. post•rhairet. with prmine•-.,
str.oigly git were brought tie t. town to the CAstle, 41,1
to to fr.no the virinit• of Ltigh:ot la de."

the Paper in question then proceeds to
qiu,te the two letters under the head of Carlow,
which we gave yesterday, stating that a party r.f
dragooos had been sent from la-low to Leigh:to
Brilge, to arrest some persons, kigaiiit.t whom
vernniert had informntion. Tito account in
paper to which we allude, lately announced the ,11.-
col:cry of 30,00 n organised re'Juls. in the County 01
kildare. How far the subsequent ir.chi.n:
arrest. of a few persons in tl.t. t•,,

is a justification of that report, we leave to the de-
cision of every candid and impartial mind. µ•e
do not wish to pursue this subjea for the purpose Of
convieting fallacy and fabrication, upon the part of
the individual accuser; nor to claim, for the country
accused, a character for loyalty, happiness, and
tranquillity, which it may not deserve. We shall
only say, that a statement so exaggerated, it it be
not the oirspring of the most stupid credulity. has
proceeded from a much more rapt ehensible motive.

We yesteglay contradicted the report of the re-
ceipt last week of important intelligence front India.
One of our contemporaries, however, stated that
'• Government had received advices from ti.at (pat-
ter of so late a date a.. the 47th of May, which an-
nounce that an engagement hid taken place betw,:r,
a division of the British troops, commanded by Co„
Jong MURRAY !General We: Anal not Imvirg
joined the arnty at the time), and a numerous beC..
of Ho LK A a's ft.rces, in which the former were de.
feated with considerable loss in Officers and met,."
The arrivals of yesterday confirm us still more is oar
disbelief of this report. It is no doubt possible that a
letter of the e^th of May may havebeen received
from Bombay, but if any such had arrived, contain-
ing intelligence of so much importance, it is scarcely
credible that it should have remained since ,last
week a aecret to the Direaors ; and we know that
nothing of that nature had transpired ) ,tcrday at
the India House. It will he seen in our news from
India, that some of the British Officers, who acre
supposed to hare been 'murdered by the Caudian,,
were living at die date of the last accounts fr.,m
Ceylon.

The G.:s, tte of last night contains an account of
the capture of three French gun vessels by the
Ditpateh sloop, off Point du Ras, on Wednesday
last. The gun-boats had soldiers on board, and were
bound from Odierne to Brest, but bad been Won .1 of
the land the day before. The Captain of the LK.-
pateA, not thinking them safe to send to t:: gland.
took the guns out, sank them, and pot th: I:rench
soldiers on board the sloop. The Cons/eft,
was in company with the Di/patch, went in pu:s.ut
of a 4th. which has no doubt shared the some fate.
It is probable. that the capture of these gun brigs
will deter this species of small craft from venturing
along shore from Port to Port daring the Winter
Months. It is also worthy of remark, that in the
opinion of the Captain of tie D4etth, these gon
brigs, alth,sogh new, sat: very fine, of their class,
cannot be kept above water in eery blowing weather.

A mornieg paper of yesterday consider, the Ul-
timo:we of Bovae Aare, given in this' paper on
brouday, incon.i,tent with the substance of his an-
swer to NI. D' OtIOR It'll Note, which we inserted
vfsterday ; we cannot see any good ground for this
obscrTa-ion.—The answer to li'Ouati l.'s Note was
given at Park in laly last ; the rllimataint, which .;
molt. m Aratc, aad hnl.:s out some terms in favoin
of the Kir.:4 of S•tomi A, was given at Nien:t
the coarse of the present month, after Bos•r•it rc
had &mud C.usaia determined to act with energy And

It will be seen in our Naval Column, that Admi-
ral Sir Julio 02DE hoisted his Rag on Monday morn-
ing at Portsmouth, from whence he is to sail with
10 men of war, to relieve and succeed Lord NEE..
lON, who is coming home , on account of ill-
health. It is supposed that the fleet is destined for a
secret expedition upon its way, probably Madeira,
or Minot ca. Other reports state, that he is to have
a separate command, and will be stationed off the
Spanish coast as far as the entrance of the Me
diterranean.
