After an interval of a few days, which were ern.'

the 3d Ceylon regiment, and a party of about. too-
men of the Royal Artillery, Whom Gen. Maitland
had dispatched from Ceylon,, began their march into
the interior, on the 17th. The enemy meanwhile
had taken post at Kotaur, not more than seven miles
distant from the British camp, and there awaited our
approach. An advanCed party of Colonel Sr. Led-

panic which these rapid and repeated reverses had
'diffused among all. ranks, that they abandoned to
their pursuers the fortresses of Outegbery and Pa-
panaveram, which are situated about -ten Miles from
Kotaur, and are accounted two of the strongest posts
in the- whole country. Colonel St. Ledger, after
blowing up the ordnano.l which he had

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1809.

The Pomona, Capt. LLOYD, is arrived at Ports-
mouth from St. Kitt's ; on the 28th ult. saw a num-
ber of the fleet with loss of masts and top-masts, also
several of the Jamaica fleet, which had joined in
the night. Captain LLOYD counted Go sail, but
could not discover the Commodore. Spoke the ship
Thomas, of London, from St. Kitt's, the Master said
she had 4 feet water in the hold, and they could not
free her ; the fore top-mast wa blown over, and
tuizen-mast cut away.

Spoke on the 291 h, the iris, STRANGE, from Gre-
nada to London, and the Inca, Lispil), from Trini-
dad to Dover ; each of them had both their topmast
and boom over, and their fore-sails blown to pieces.
Spoke the Hero, BEAR, from St. 'Vincent's to Lon-
don ; she had lost her foremast and mizen-topmast,
and the head of her rudder twisted.:
The Hero informed Captain LLOYD, that he saw
the CaP min Man-of war the night before making te-
legraphic signals to the Express brig ; her wizen-
mast gonei, and the brig's fore-top-mast. Captain
LLOYD made sail in pursuit of the ships a-head, and
left nine disabled ships and two without loss, which
had each a disabled ship in tow ; one was a ship
with 16 guns, formerly belonging to Scotland, and
employed in the slave trade, now belonging to Lon-
don.

On the 31st spoke the brig Perry from Grenada
to Cork ; she had been blown over, but her top-
masts gave way, and, as the gale abated, she righted.
On the morning of the 26th saw two men on a
wreck, but could not give I hem any assistance.

A mail from Gottenburgh arrived this morning,
which brings advices from thence of the Bth instant,
