ATTACK UPON TAPPANOOLLY•

The circumstances attending the capture of the
East India Company's Settle.nent of Tappanoo.:t.
by the French, which we lately meat:acted, were, f
an atrocious nature. The capture took plitee
the huh of April. Mr. Pat wee, the Company's
eider% was absent at Bencoolen, and M►. Haeu
a tell in hie place. The gouts m were too few In bom-
ber to resi.t the assailant,, but they 61141 pot iurren..•r

should be respected, as well that heongiog to I •

what he bad seized ; and, ender pr.sence a' Mr'
HATES had secreted two boxes of gold IA
him coofined, and he, as well as the reet of toe in-
habitants. was hardly supplel with food. Tile
ladies, and subordinate females, who had 1:,:n for
shelter to the woods, were fired on the

permit by the ruffian besiegers, and one reArool
sod her child who were overtaken, were
posed to the most brutal t►eatment. At iemtb

the twee Lutherans it-•atment was continued, 13. d

the *bole of the victims of this wanton bar-
barity were removed to the isle of France, after
they had beep deprived of every thing they posses-
std. To complete this infamous violation of national
Justice, and disregard of every humane and honour-
able feeling, the whole of the Settlement was
sec on fire, and Commodore HautLim ex-
pressed the most savage exultation in witnessing
the destruction, as his vessels were leasing the place.
A party of soldiers, under the command of Re-
ratio, had been
previously seat to the country-
louse of Mr. PaINCE, the absent, and, of course,
unoffending President, who completely destroyed
it, with all its contents; the stables also were con-
cussed, severs) valuable horses were turned loose
into the woods, and a dock of fifty head of fine
tattle were nearly destroyed, by shooting them.

The Duke of Marlborough packet, from Lisbon,
is arrived at Falmouth. She sailed from Lisbon
-on the 3d inst. at which time no account of any
action between the English and French armies had
been received there, nor were there any rumours
of any one having been fought. The mid will be
in town this day.

Gottenburg Mail arrived yesterday. The &c-
-rowds from Stockholm, which are to the 7th, state,
that the Diet is to assemble en the 16th July, when
it is thosght the Duke of Ousauscaon will be
proposed as the successor to the Caown Panics,
lately deceased. It appears that the latter was
betrothed to the daughter of Lucian BONAPAZTE;
a circumstance which accounts for her visit to Paris,
and corresponds with the favourite pride and po-
licy of Bon AAAAA 5, to connect and ally his upstart
race with all the ancient and legitimate sovereign
families of Europe.—Tbese 'Ayers have also
brought a rumour of a demand. by England. upon
the Sivednili Government, to cede Gothlawl. and
place the Swedish navy as ■ deposit iu her hands.
This rumour is given upon the alleged authority of
a letter from Copenhagen, and may be a mere
speculation, (minded upon the new attitude which
Sweden has been obliged to sunrise towards this
country, under the controul and coercion of France.
If England made such a demand of Denma►k. it is
natural for a Dane to conclude that she will deal
towards Sweden an like manner. under similar car-
cnmgances. For oar own part we do not think the
rumour improbable. The odium that attached to the
Copenhagen Expedition we know did not lessen that
measure in the estimation of Miaisters, and iu jos-
lice we lima admit, that whether, in dm elevation
of Mr. YURSI, or in the plan of a campaign in
Portugal, they have uniformly betrayed a sovereign
contempt for public opinion. If. then. they eels get
hold oft fee old abatis at Gotteabsart, it is not
the deserved odium that would attach to the ad-
vantage taken of an old friend, under duress. for
each is the actual state of Swede—forced into
the ranks against us—that will deter them from the
nadertaking.

It is doubtful whether Ministers are not more
efficient than the friends of Sir Faaects Bosom,
in giving edit to his liberation from the Tower.—
The military are approaching the capital in consi-
derable force, and on to-morrow will form a clove
sad strong line of circuinvollation. Yesterday the
3J Regiment of Dragoons arrived in the suburbs
from Godaltaiog and Quildfurd. They are station.
el iu St. Georges Fields. Camberwell, Fulham.
and Wandsworth. The 13th Regiment of Ligiit
Dragoons also arrived on Monday ; and the Here-
ford Militia have marched into Islington and •ts
vie.aity. Several other regiments have arrived in
otherpoinis clourto town, where they are quartered;
sad se►eral more troops are expected to-morrow.
The *Seers and petiole belonging to Bow-utreet.

the county of Middlesex. before Mr. READ and
Mr. Nana. Nos knowing the grounds of appre-
hmsiiin in the possession of Ministers, it is ins-
possilile fur us to amiert that these p,-cantionary
nieasines are absolutely superfluous. The peare
