periril without any outsold to attack our prods to
the southward.
If the report made to the Resident be tree, and
Ore see no reason to doubt it, neither the Pretender
nor ant• of the principal 'chiefs had ever moved to-
ba►ds lister:lmin. It germs that the Preteoder,
anemia! by Kappitopula, the chiefs of aeriePlat-
te°, Hewahette, Kotulale, and others. *era about
the 7th inst. to the village of Totowa, between
Welanhenne and Idalgasheime, its Ouva : the ce-
remonies, whatever they may have been, were per-
formed upon an open spot cutlet! Deyubetme Wale,
At no great distan•e from Titbits., where Mr.
D'Oyly's informant remained, and heard the firing
maid the rejoicings: the chiefs, immediately this
.was over, received the Pretender's orders to retorts
to their feversl districts and intact the English :
the 17th was recommended to them as a lucky day
to- gin their °perineum. We have not yet heard
that this fortsimate do*. ire deliberately chosen, has
produced any extroordiessey slfeet : where►er the
Candiiiis have made an attempt they have been
repulsed with much loft on their side, and scarcely
a casualty on oura.
The seven Korles appear to be quite cleared from
rebels; and all in that rich and extensive province is
perfectly quiet ; large supplies of rice and slaughter
cattle were sent from Kornegalle to Cindy, and
have arrived safe without interruption. Caption
Hardy of the Honourable Company's 7th Millie
Infantry, who was left in coannuoid of a detachnielit
on the frontiers of Match', made an incursion on the
16th into that province ; he marched eight miles
over a steep and rugged ascent to the village of
Gullo Oodshene. near which he destroyed a large
house belonging to Mime Tolima, whose patio.
quits he also took: Lieutenant Colonel Hook speaks
in the highest terms of the zeal and energy of Capt.
Hardy, whom he has just sent with 200 mess again
into Matelle, where he will co-operate with Major
Heat, who was to enter that province in another di-
rection from Harispattoo.
By letters from Kidnapers, dated the 17th inst.,
we hear that the rebels had been coinpletely re.
pulsed in their attack upon Lieutenant Irwin, at
Diavinne, on the batiks of the tt.ellaway river.
The inhabitants joined Lieut. Irwin to repel the
invaders, and women even were been armed with
sticks chasing the fugitives ; this we believe is new
in Indian warfare, but it may serve to she* that
the people of Saffragam are in earnest in their
wishes to keep the rebels out of their province.
In Dombera, Captain Raper, on his way to oc-
cupy a position near Atgolle, on the 16th, surp►ised
a Candian piquet, of which two were killed and
one taken ; shortly after he took primmer the
Aratchy of IrVattelagamina : he marched the same
night to Vdigodds, in the hope of surprising the
Anstounsgainina Name; eight rebels were killed.
among whom was the Nileme's brother; but that
Chief himself escaped. On the litth Captain Raper
moved his camp to a hill near Madewelly. when
some of the inhabitants came to him with a white
flag, and promised to bring 200 more the nest day.

Captain Glenholuse was assailed, at Godamoona,
on the lucky morning of the 17th, by a great crowd
of natives, of whom about 1,000 were armed, and
led on by twenty well dressed headmen ; the at.
tack continued till evening, and was repeated the
next day until fiwe in the afternoon, when the Con-
doms were repulsed with con►iderable loss; Captain
Glenholme's only casualty was one grenadier of the
15th Native Infantry killed.
Captain Kitson has sent into Candy nearly the
whole of the sick that were collected at (Jonags►nn►a,
from the stations in Wallapany, previous to their
being evacuated ; he expected Major Bayley to join
him on the .20th. The posts in Wallapaily had be-

persons but a few of no great rank had submitted ;
the Bootawe Rateralle, it is repor►ed, had been
seised by the Pretender and Osivo Dentine, to pre-
vent his surrendering himself.

The weather at Candy has lately become much
cooler. with occasional *bowers.

This alteration will produce, we hope, a favour-

for the better has already begun to 'hew itself.

iu the latter part of September, a violent shock
of an earthquake was felt about a league and a half

but the consternation was general among the inha-
bitants, whose imaginations are still afire to the

family, un the I lilt of October, under escort of a
detachment of his Arnout Guard. He is said to
have taken the road to Transylvania, and to have
already arrived at Cronstadr. fear of having in-
curled the displeasure of the Sultan, is said to have
induced him to this precipitate resultisiou. After
his departure, the twit first classes of the Bejars,
belooging to the Wallitchian Divan, took upon
them the provisional administration of the Go-
vernment. The effects aline Ilaspodar have been
secured at the requisition of the Russian Consul
General, by being put in sequestration.

Last week an unfortunate buy was brought to
Insterburg, who was Numd in • wood near the
town. He has nothing human about him but his
form. He may he abOut lifter's years ohl, is diimb,
and us it seems from surgical examination, also
deaf. He chews to desire for any thing but food,
which when he was found, consisted of routs, gravy,
and straw. He will nut beer any cloiliiiiv, sevens
unable to walk upright, and sits and lies iu • con-
tracted position. His skin being little injured, and
his hair cot before, seems to indicate that this unfor.
tursate being has not lived always iu the wood, hut

An infections gimlet fever has brakes' out in time

One of the persons who have been arrested foe
some days underwent yesterday a long examination.
which lasted from nine in the morning till three in
the afternoon, before M. Va►► de Casteele ; another
individual arrested near the frontiers of France has
been brought hither under a good escort sad placed
in the prison of this city. The cause of these
arrests is still unknown; singular report* are in
circulation un the subject.

The arrangements for the visit of the Empress of
Russia to Antwerp, have been countermanded,
and it is not known when it will take place.
The Emperor Alexander is expected here this
night, and the King of Prussia, it is believed, will
arrive here to-morrow, to be preteut at the fete

AIX-LA-CHAPELLE, NOVENIIER 12.

Notwithstanding the half official assurances given
in 'event Journals, that there will be no farther
partition or exchanges of territory, the politicians
go ou in their old course, in their projects of mak-
ing new frontiers, and for the extension of Prussia
at the expense of Belgium.
Many circumstances take from the confidence
which we m►ght place in these projects. The cart.
which Prussia bestows on its new provinces on the
Rhine; the formation of a cordon of custoin.house
officers on the frontiers of Belgium ; and the cer-
tainty of the departure of the whole Eugli•h Con-
tiugent for England; and that these troops will not
even touch upon the Belgic territory upon thei-
march.

ANTWERP, NOVEMBER 14.

The news of the escape of Napoleon hail been
in circulation in this city since yesterday, and it
was presumed that the persons arrested et Elrossels
two days since might be concerned. The silence
of the Boglish Government resincting the do._
patches which it has rtceived from St. lielena, is the
more extraordimity, as it selves to give credit to thy
