Bengal about ten days before these ships. Our
army was encamped on the Cliumbhul Rived
distant from Agra about thirty or forty miles.
The hot season had set in, which is rather unfa-
vourable to the health of the troops. Ho t.K A n had
had several conferences with Sci 'gni A and the othet
Chieftains, whose forces were on a respettable foot-
ing, and much more numerous than had been re.
presented. Tire latest intelligence received at
Bengal, from Madras, represented that place in
perfed tranquillity.

A Leeward Island Mail, in thirty-three days

A letter from a merchant at Hamburgh to a mer-
cantile house in Hull, dated Dec. 13, says, " I have
this moment received the Newspaper, which I for-
ward—it contains some further details of the battle,
to which I alluded in my letter of yesterday (net
yet received). If I may judge by my own feelings,
I am sure it cantret fail of being welcome to you.
The froit has set in with great severity, and it will
be a great chance if any other ships but those that
are going to-day or to-morrow will be able to get
away."
In addition to the above, the Idlowing Icier has
been published at Hull, dated
ot.mu-rz, Dec. 5.
" We ripe& here impatiently, more circumst.n-
tial accounts of the occurrences of the Belligerent

Licut. GA HR A T Y, late Commander of the Pisrxrjre,
gun-brig, captured by the French, some time since,
off Cherbourg, landed at Falmouth, on Friday,
from a Prussian vessel, only twenty-four hours Irons
Morlaix. This Gentleman has brought with him a
copy of a printed Bulletin, circulated at Modal:, of
which the following is a translation :
" Telegraphic dispatch from the Counsellor of
State, Minister of the Marine, to the Prefet of
Brest :

" Paris, 20 Frimaire (Dec. II.)
" HI/ Majesty the Emperor of tile Freilets has beaten the
Russians, ten Olmuts: elystioyed the half of their army, and
totally routed the remainder."
This alludes evidently to the battle of the second.
Lientenant C A aRAT Y saw a printed Bulletin, of
nearly the same form as the above, which was cir-
culated in France, soon after the glorious battle of
Trafalgar; in which it was stated, that the English
were defeated, and had lost 14 chips! Nor did
Lieutenant GA kits-rir know the contrary, till he
landed at Falmouth.
Lieutenant G A ItRATY is shout two months from
Verdun. A short time before he left that place,
Dr. May, and an English Colonel, whose name

sent to Biche, and closely c mfined in separate pri-
sons. The reason of this was not known.
The Atalanta transport, which lately sailed from
the Downs, and was driven nut of course by the
storm, anchored within a mile of Calais, on which
the French btotigiit nine guns down to the shore,
which wounded her fore-mast, and hulled her in
several places. A hors• was killed on board of her,
in the hold. As the wind was blowing hard on the
shore, and sh• was exposed to the fire of the French—
men, without the smallest chance of escape, she
• continued to fire ; a
