Aorar,

The Atuiversary Festival of this Soziety %VA% ee.
lebrated yesterday, at the London Tavern—upward.
.1 three bandied members attended.
Mr. Ta Ayres informed the Society, the His
Royal Highness the Duke of York could co.: mend
the meeting, in consequence of • prior engagement.
He then read a letter from His Royal Highness to
the Earl of Berkeley, requesting he would inform
the Society. that in consequence of the commands
of His Majesty, he was obliged to attend a review
of the Artillery at Woolwich, and would not be
able to return to town in time.

Mr. T ***** s then moved, that the Earl of
Berkeley should take the Chair ; which was agreed
to, with universal Applause.
After dinner, the KING. the Queen, the Prince
and Princess of Watss, were drank with three
times three.
G.d Save Ihr King, and Rule Britannia were sung
by Messrs. Inc I. EDON, TA vtot, Hut., and Leers,
with full chorus, in the most exquisite stile.
Messrs. Leers and TAYLOR sung the duet of
Our Law, Conitilation, and King ; after which,
Tke Army and Navy was drank, with three times
three ; as was The Volunteers of England.
Mr. 'Agra then sung Likely a Shrine, with great
applause.
His Grace tie Duke of Bedford was then drank,
with three times three.

Mr. Murray, the Serrearf, tead a letter from
his Grace the Duke of Bedford, apologising for not
attending the meeting ; being prevented by unavoid-
able circumstances. _ .

Mr. Travers read an Ode on Dr. Jeanie, which
was universally admired ; and the worthy Doctor's
health was then drank, with three times three and
reiterated applause.
Dr. JLNNEa then rose, and congratulated the
company upon the wonderful progress which had
been made by the Society in propogattng the Vac- ,
tine Inoculation. Almost every part of Europe had
row pradised it, and, it had spread so far, that
even in Bengal, Madras, and Bombay, it was
univer.ially adopted. From the application of
Pis remedy, Vienna, Berlin, &c. only knew
tne old disorder by name. He then west into
a long statement of the accounts, from which it
appeared, that the annual average of deaths by
small pot, for fifty years past, WAS 2018 ; whereas,
is 1801, they only amounted to en ; and the deaths
by small pox continued to diminish, there being
now within the bills of tnortaiity, in the last two
months, only 42. The number of persons inoculated
since the last repnr,, was 6'324 ; ,nd since the in-
stitution, in 1805, the total an.: anted to 12,9 II
persons inoculated. He further observed, that the ex-
penditure ort:.e Society -as cons. I •raniy less than in
the formeryear, and that the annu :.subscriptions had
increased; but, fro.n the necessity of promoting fur-
ther annual donations, it required the zealous exer-
tions of all frizuds. He then went into an enu-
meration of the number of places where this Insti-
tution is established, ani concluded by exit: -ssing
his thanks for the honour that had been conferred
on him in the celebi ation of that his natal day.
M:. Lettering Toe Poor Plied Roo. from Bloom-
field.; tohepherehlt fr.s, iu exquisite eti'.c.
'the ExterminNti:.4 of the Small Pox was then
drank, e .tit three times three.
M-. TR.; vuss then read several passages from
The red;ea! Ile,tevo, from which it appeared, this
Society had been adopted in Paris, with wonderful
ssacces•,. And he trussed, that in a very few years,
he would enjoy the pleasure of knowing that this"
evil was completely exterminated. He could not
help observing, that the variolons matter was still
pradised in the parish of St. Pancras, and that the
children, like foxes with firebrands to their tails,
were suffered to go at large to infed thousands.
After some further observations, the Chairman,
the Earl of Berkeley .was drank, with three him-s
three and loud acclamations.
The Treasurer's health (Mr. Travers) was then
drank, with general applause and three dines three.
He made a very handsome speech, expressive of his
thanks, and, at the same time declaring, that 114
heart and soul were engaged in the cause, and I.e
never would rest satisfied until the small pox was
Completely exterminated.
Atter a number of observation! by Messrs
Aoutaa row, Jaroptatt, and Dr. ROWLAND HILL,
several patriotic, sentimental, and popular toasts
were drank, and the evening was spent in the greatest
harmony.

On Thursday last, the Right Hon. the Loan
M 4 1f Olt, Sheriff Seminar, and Sheriff Douvt t Le,
went in state to Lambeth Palace to dinner, agreea-
bly to ea invitation given them by His Grace the
Lord Archbishop of Ct MT SREURV. Present, His
Royal l lighness the Duke of Sussex, the Duke of
Beuro an —and, altogether, about thirty Noblemen
land Gentlemen of distindtion. The entertainment
was given in the most elegant style.
There was a grand Review yesterday at Wool-
wich, by His hisiesr v, attended by His Royal
Highness the Prince of WALES, the Duke of Yount,
and several General Officers. N'arious experimenu
were tried with cannon, mortars. &c.
The three regiments of East India House Volun-
teers, and the third regiment of City of London
Volunteers, had a grand field-day in Hyde Park yes-
terday. During the review a quarrel took place be-
between a gentleman's groom and a painter. Rven
and O'Donnell, the puggili►ts, interfered, but not until
the knight of the brrtb was well beaten. An Officer
of the Guards endeavoured to disperse the mob, who
were very refraelory, and threw stones. A general
confusion prevailed ; and the pick-pockets di•played
their usual activity.
The Aleorteur, after having declared that all the
intelligence in the French and Foreign Newspapers
was spurious, adds, " England and France are at
open war. The feelings of moderation and pacific
views of the Eli PLR OR, are blunted by the mad en-
thusiasm of Lord Mal.vt t t r. and Mr. PITT. Seve-
ral of our squadrons have sailed and united with the
Spanish forces. British commerce is perplexed and
impeded every where : and the sailing of our vessels
has already raised the premium of insurance for the
West-Indies, OS per cent. A similar rise will spee-
dily take place for the East-Indies, the North and
East Seas, and the Mediterranean. The English
will stiffer incalculable loss : and thus they will be
convinced, that, by the war, they have nothing to
gain, every thing to bee."

INTERCEPTED CORRESPONDENCE.
CFRO7.7 THE MONtTLORJ•

MR. ARNOLD TO Ills BRUTHIR 1M 1.0Wflos:.
Chandoussey, Jude 25.
I write yeti I .tely of our exploits. 1 ant gnine is
slime the thread of my na,rative. Our marshes in pur lit of
Heikar, before Orr reflect:on of Ramie:oan, hive b• en
rapid as circom.tanem would permit ; but, as his army
co:int/Mel entirely of cavalry, and ears of infantry, in
F.uropearis and field-arrillety, drawn by oxen, we were
nut able to come op with him. However, we have at
length succeeded in getting him out of the "'sunny,. and
rennin him hark r..to his provinces. About this same
one of hiss Chiefs, an active partisan {Amyr Khan), ent-red
the province of Brindlecirnd--eif whi...l a detachment, mt.
der the command of Colonel Powell, had taken posses-
sion at the beginning of the war—at the head of from eight
to 10,000 cavalry. Vol. Powell has been unfortunately oblig-
ed to quit the command, on account of bad health. Colonel
• second in command, died ; thus, by a sort of reality,
the command devolved upon Lieutenant Colonel Fawcett
[Here the writer applies a gross epithet to the puddle mid pirate
chars:kr ,y'Cot. Fawcett, nod thus proceeds ,)--ile soon gave an
example of his bad condul. On the 24th May, a body of the
cavalry of Amyr Khan fell on a detachment and cut it in pieces.
' Captain Feed, and Lieutenant Morris as also Lieutenant G.I.
lespie, have ben killed. The e-- Fawcett, who had at his
divotsl four battalions of Sepnys, a regiment of 590 Euro-
peans, two squadrons of cavalry, and a peat number of irregu-
lar cavalry and infantry, during all this time made not a single
movement. To complete this scene of disgrace, the number
of the enemy was exaggerated to the amount of +o,nco
men. The detachment fell back in consequence to cover
Allehabad, a fortress almost impregnable to the best army
of Europe, provided with a strong Karr son, surrounded
Wpm throe sides by the Ginger, and the Istmttlilt at their
confluence, and capable of being inundated at the distance of
four miles. So precipitate was the retreat of vie detachment,
that In ens day It lust 40 Europeans from heat arid retitle, and
IN others viceessively. Ds'%g thin retreat, thy only enemy
seen was a small detachment of oar irregular cavalry. They
heed upon it with great courage, and, I am sorry to say, with
effect. Fawcett is to be tried by a Court martial—it is the :e-
-mend opinion that he will be broken. Amyr Khan, encouraged
by the success of this last affair, and the retreat of Fawcett,
advanced onwards Calpee, with an intention to fall upon our
provinces, and lay them waste. Upon intelligence of this,
the man' army returned by forced marches, the cavalry
moving at the rate of from eight-en to twenty miles
a day, leaving the infantry twelvedays march behind it. This
rapid marsh cost use dear. We lost, each day, from twenty to
thirty Europeans, and ten times as ntiny Natives. The heat
has been so excessive, that I have been an eye-witness of seven
men who went to a well to quench their thirst, five of whom
till dad. The Thermometer was for several days at 110 and
ar..ove it.
Upon our arrival at Agra, we.learned that Amer Khan crossed
the Juinne, at Calpee., and menaced Cawnpern and Futtyghur;
but the ford being too deep, he was not able to effea his per-
p.e,e, and turned his veugeat,ce against the city. At length
I Capt. Sidney Jones raved him to retreat, arid, after ..twee en.
gag:men:a with Colo sel Shepherd, he evacuated the province,
and w lit to juM Ho 'al., having augmented his forces to
IC.OOO mat.
