lien is well fortified by nature and by art, well ,
supplied with prosisions, ammunition, stores,
and defended by troops of known bravery, who
have already declared it to be their determination
to protract the defence of the place to the last
extrein.ty. Our Niters from all (porters, and
route of them front Officers of rui.k with the
Army, concur iu reprerentlng the French as 115 lug
in the most deplorable situation. They are wholly
destitute of bre.ol, except such as their charaeteri—
tic ingenuity erraldes them to muoroUretrire from the
scanty and precitions supplies of groin of the pre-

and remains in the fields. The accounts whirl

fatality of contagion, do out appear to be es.
aggeroted. Desertions are of course frsqueot,
soil more 111,11114.1 niss than heretofore; particularly
from the Rhenish rootingents, and Polish troops.
It is reported that it strung cordon of Fret.cla has
heed unequal to the task of preventing deserti tttt ,
and that MassEN has deemed it expedient to order
a great proportion of the foreign troops who emit-
paw Its unity, to 'warm back to Fiance, to prevent
their discontents ripe g into open mutiny.

By the ships joist arrived from India, we learn
Oat Lord MIS T° (nitialled at Math. 8, at the date
of the latest aceounts from that Presidency,
which reach to the beginniug of April. The Mo.

(timely nit General Weft rc's taking the com-
mand at Foot St. George—an event which was
likely to happen in a few days —We have also
received, by the some opportunity, some documents
respecting the results of the Courts-Menial, in can-
sequence of the late acts of insubordination in the
Moires Army. It appears, from them that the Go-
vernment was dissatisfied with the verdict of Ho-
cubevible Acquittal given in the case of Colonel
Doviron, and downed the Court-Martial to re-
consider its judgmeut ; but tl.e Court, not to be
;stimulated, inhered to its miginal verdict. Th.ii
perseverance, we find, gave offence to the acting
Commander-iii-Chief of the Preis& nit of Madras,

the Court of l)irectori should he known; and cen-

&Aim( ion of which was kept secret. The prevail-

Isle of France. Colonel Christ's army, which haul

An article from Constantinople discourages the
expectation lately held oat of an approaching re-
conciliation between Rna.ia and Turkey. It states
that the war will be prosecuted with increased
%limn; that the GRAND SIGNOR will put him-
self at the hem" of the cony, and that all the
great men of the empire have been retiuired In
send all their superfluous gold and silver to the
taint, to be coined into money for the maintenance
of the troops.. The GRAND SIGNOR has set the
example.
