with a great dt.al f pod fortune, at length reached
the gate of ifie'fOre, arid possessed themselves of it
so rffefilually, a: to defeat every attack made en that
Fast by the native force's.
Lieuteeant-Colonels Fenconrt and M'Kerras, and..
Carat° Mann, toll sacrifices to the vengeance of
the enraged soldiers, in endeavouring to suppress
the mutiny.. Aced Maj ir Chas. Armstrong, who
just at the instant was passing over the Glaris, on
his way to Madras, to take his passage for Europe,
was killed in his palankeen.
An Officer, who was flying with his child in his
arms from kis quarters, WAS slaughtered, With the
infant. in at manner too shocking to he described.
His wife, with the other English ladies of the gar-
rison, was spared by the mutineers.
The refraflory battalions kept possession of the
garrison for mote than two hours ; and the followers
of the Princes of Mysore, who were detained as pri-
. toners in the Palace, hoisted the Mahommedan flag
in the intet val.
Intelligence was given, on the first appearance of
the mutiny, to Colonel Gillespie, at Arcot; who,
within an hour after the receipt of the information,
appeared before the gate of thy fort, with a squad-
ron of His Majesty's 19• h Dragoons, having pro-
ceeded the distance of 13 miles in less than an hour.
The gate of the garrison was blown open by the
Gallopers, and the Eutopean troops bad immediate
access to the fortress, and, within a few minutes, put
the whole of the mutineers to the sword. Not a man
is said to have been saved.
The Moorish Flag was instaetly struck ; and it
was with some difficulty that t .e European troops

Native Troops engaged in the revolt, Liens Col.
Marriott assured the Commandant of the Cavalry,

Beroys, and that assurance was deemed sarislaftery.
It is added, however, that see. sal stands of arms,
end a quAn,ity of ammunition, have since been dis-
c.-erred wi bin the walls of the raiser ; a eircum-

LONDON,
FRIDAY, JANUARY 2.

All the PAcketr are tcturned frrm Husain, where
the M.ils for the South of Europe wr:e refused to
be received. The Letters for the Nwth were pe►-
mitaed to be landed. Much inconvenience must
necessarily arise to the commercial part of the com-
munity. in consequence of this determination. The

King of DLtiMAlllClias, no doubt, aged thus to con-
ciliate the French Government.

The adjustment of our differences with America,
we un.lerstand, is upon the eve of completion. One
of the principal subjeas of complaint, regardful,:
the Colonial trade, has, it is, said, been finally
settled. In the year 1716, it was estahlished, that
neutrals should be restriEfed to the same commerce
with a belligerent, which was allowed to them by
that power in a time of peace. Now Franco,
in time of peace, prohibited all importation di.
reilly from her Colonies, camps in French bottoms,
and, therchre. if It were to be allowed to the Ame-
ricans, rcniing a war between France and Eng
land, the Americans would be pat in a better
situation than they 'okayed in time of peace, act
acquire an interest in t:.e prolongation of the
war. It is. however, an established tad, the. in
the present war, the American merchants have,
in several instances. carried the prudent of the
French Colonies in the West Indies, theca to France.
in A •nt ricin bottoms; and that, in num. rens cases,
where they afetted to observe the cram prescribed
by the principle and in allice of the martturne
law. secb observance was only colourable. Thu
condua. so the pan of the Americans, was
one cause of the as9;vity of our cruisers, whreb
gave so much offence to the United Stites. and e•n•
tributed to excite an angry feeling between the two
warawies. Tbe Americans contended on this paint.

Part of the advocates for America, we contend that
it would not be a decisive ans.ver ; for one part of
our complaint was, that the carriage of the produce
of the French Colonies t America, and thence to
Europe, was executed in a fraudulent manner ; that
it never was landed in an American port ; that it
did not pay duty there ; and that the voyage was,
in fad, one continued voyage to Europe. It is said,
that our Ministers have consented to relax the
rule of 175 ii, and to parrnit the circuitous trade
with the belligerent through America, with
due precautions that the colonial pro.lnce shall
be aCtually landed there, pay duty, and be re-
shipped, and that the only point unsettled iv, whe-
ther the duty shall be one or two per cent. The
Agents of Oppositi m, arguing upon this arrange-
men', as a matter of fa& load it with reproae‘es.
their cry, their watchword is, " War rather than

Motto. This is not the time to make concessions."

is before the puh:ie, and shall only observe at pre-
sent, that it is the most extraordinary doelrine ever
advanced. Upon the same principle, these Writers
Itare condenonel the condian of Government,
in su,nuining our differences with America, to Miuis-
I
tens oa bath sides, to adjust them ; for that
rtrn .11,111,1 meet to settle differences amicably, with
a positive determination, upon one side, to concede
nothing, is an absurdity.

We have been favors-ed by a Correlposndent with
a Report of the trials of 66 The Titre' hers," by Special
Commission, at Cavan, which is given in our sub-
sequent columns. It throws some light upon the
views of these disturbers of the peace in that country.

We have received Buston Papers to the 6th of
December; the contents of which are of consider-
able importance. Colonel Bunn surrendered him-
self at Lexington, in the state of Kentucky, on the
9th of NOVIIMI:tcr, and was to be brought to tri4l ia
the Distritt Court, with all possible expedition.

The Order for taking the Negociation Pipers
into consideration, stands for this clay in the House
of Lads.

Lord Gessvitte will move this day, in the
Home of Lords, for leave to bring in a Bill for the
Abolition of the Slave Trade.

Admiral M • 's squ.tdroa sailed on Wed-
nesday from Portsmouth.

The Tat on Pig Iron, and on private Breweries,

Congress met on the lit of December, but no tie-
errant of the proceedings had reached Boston on the

President's Message.
The President has issued a Proclamation, in which
he declares, i• that he has information that some
Citizens of the United States are preparing an ez-

it is even said that their dykes are falling to decay
