NVe understani from Bombay, that the Rajah of
Arracan has assumed a more pacific aspect since the
departure Of•Cabilei SY M ES, on 'his embassy-to the
King of llurmah. It was entirely owing to the
Rajah's .condud that a representation .to the King
was deemed necessary, and a force was intended to
have been sent to the frontiers of Arracan for the
purpose of overawing the Rajah, who had prevailed
upon the twelve Princes to ad in oppositionlo the
will of the King of Burmah, whereby it should ap-
pear to the 'English that that Court was inimical to
ourinterenurse with Burmah. The fad is, thatthe
letters which were to have passed from the Burmah
Government to ours were forwarded via Arracan,
and the Rajah is suspected of having withheld them,
and f.ilnicated others, according toilis own caprice,
couched in terms which require explanation. Co-
lonel SvmEs h.iving already entered the Burmah
dominions, procce4s immediately to Ava, to lay
kfore the King the Governor General's letter on
•Ow occasion.

Instances of .vii;ide become more frequent every
day. We copy this verbatim from a country paper:
On Friday last, a fish of uncommon magnitude
sbot itself upon the wore, on the coast of Corn-
wall."

A letter from Frankfort, -dated Pith January,l
mentions that the reports spread at .Paris, of pro-
.1
posals made by the English Agent, Mr. Moo kr.,
to the Court of Stutgard, has been contradicted'
by the papers of this latter city. It also mentions
that they have received the followingtrotest of the
civil and ni.litary authorities of Constance, against!
the famous advice from tit:it city, published by.the
Moniteur •of France. el Constance, 2d January,'
1803. Several French and German Gazettes .have
copied, from the official Journal of France, The..
Moniteur, an ankle from Constance, dated the 15th'
of last month, which concerns Mr. Moor, 14: re-,
sidence add business At Constance. Tit. :facts..
which are contained in this article, having immedi-
ate reference to this city, can only be judged here. '
Of those facts, the following only are conformable '
to truth :-1. Mr. •Mooate bath seen in :this city,
but he left it the .15th of last month, consequently
ten days before the date of the said Article. 2d. A
certain Mr. li.octrAv is. gone from Constance to
London. 3(1. The Old }Lily Wagner bath lodged at
the he could procure a.house. 4.Mr. Moon E
bath kept himself here very quiet. All the rest of
the article is absolutely false, and we cannot con-
ceive how the Correspondent hath dared to furnish:
on this object, to the Odicial Journal of France,
moor falshoods than lines. The Imperial Royal
Commandant of this Ci!y, and the Police Directors
think, they owe it to their duty and honour to make 1
this declaration."
