,in the course of last week froM Madras, we
have the satisfaction to learn, that a numerous
and respectable body of the inhabitants of that.
settlement had entered into a subscription for the
purchase of a piece of gold plate, of the value of
fifteen hundred pounds sterling, to be presented to
Sir George Barlow, on the occasion of his depar-
ture for England, in testimony of the high sense
which they entertain of his public services and
private virtues.

We understand, that Sir George Barlow does
,not proceed to England in one of his Majesty's
frigates, as was originally intended ; the exigen-
cies of the service not permitting any ships of war
to be at present detached from the India station,

extremely sultry. Nat a drop of rain had fallen
at Cawnpore so late as the 30th tilt. ; and at
Meerut, the .thetmometer had been so high as 95
degrees at five o'clock in the morning. The Eu-

state of the atmosphtlre no fewer than six men
of the 67th regiment, and one of the

4, It appears, from the following communication,
the American Government have indeed had
ttCo
Ilrse
k• to their grand measure, an Embargo.—
e 't So ; we wish them all manner of good of it,
arid

being strictly enforced :

" LLOYD'S, FRIDAY, Feb. 4,-1814.
cc
Official information has been received from
A -‘111e•
lica' that an Embargo was laid on, the 17th

It Is, however, said that a great many Amer--

We have given some further extracts from the
American Papers—they, however, add little to the
ttePious information we submitted yesterday.—
I Is said that Capt. LEONARD, the abused Com-
7arldant at Niagara, was not placed there by the,
terriepartment, which removed him some months
th:re, and put in Lill' room Major ARMBTEAD, of
3d Regiment Artillery, arid that he liiRS re-
It stated without the knowledge of the Depart-.

'toe directed Colonel SCOTT (in case he also left it)

ign 6to the defence of Fort- Niagara, two

?ornpanies of artillery, Leonard's and 11,eid's.--
.
LEONARD, being the elder Officer, commanded

or
mote.

The 'latest Naval intelligence received at the
.I,lwiraltv mentions, that the President, and two
other American frigates, have been sent to sea.—
The Congress had returned to port, but not the
Essex, as was reported. Our squadron was look-
ing- sharp after her, having recaptured four of her
South Sea prizes, and live very valuable American
wha&i.s.

The Morning Chronicle swears that its celebrat-
ed letter was genuine, and did come from Paris,
and as a proof, asserts that it bas :he original,
written in German, by a Gentleman of known
character !` It also swears; that its substance was
•
never; communicated to any one, which is rather
bold, seeing that its substance, with the except'

tion of the Meagre anecdote about the devil-
shots, was in fact published in every Paper in Lon-
don, on Friday, Saturday, and Monday, in the
conzmon way of extracts from the Moniteur. It
is certainly true, moreover, .that a Lady lately
from France, offered similar communications -to
more than one Newspaper, which were refused, be-
cause the Editors thought, that even were they true,
their promulgation could st•arcely redound to their
honour, or. promote the interests of the country.

It is, therefore, not the case in this as in most
other instances, that " there ip no ill luck stirring.
but .what lights o' the Chronicle' si s'hotilders," for
we had all a touch of it, and the k.lown character
of its authors only secured its'rejection as a base
invention to serve the cause of the Corsican.
We should like to know if Sir HUMPHREY DAVY
can write German—if Lady \V ---E can speak it
—or if any collector of marvels for the Chronicle
knows any one'in the City capable of manufactur-
ing an epistle, in so learned a language ?

As We yesterday promised, our columns •viii
this day be found to contain a variety of intelli-
gence from India, together with an. Obituary, &c.
to the beginning of August. •

Still-no news from the Continent.

It was yesterday repoited, we know not with
what truth, that BUONAPAETE had sent orders to
SI/CHET to evacuate Catalonia, and move with all
speed upon Lyons, which the latter accordingly
undertook to do ; but the Allies, aware of his. in-
tentionF,• prevented him by marching in force up
on that city, into which they entered with the
good wishes of the inhabitants, and after a very
slight and ineffectual opposition by AUGEREAT;
The dispatches brought by the officer on Wed-
nesday evening from America were forwarded by
Mr. CROKER to the PRINCE REGENT, at Carlton-
house. •

Lords LIVERPOOT, and SIDMOUTH waited upon
the PRINCE REGENT yesterday, at Carlton-house.
Yesterday at three o'clock, a Cabinet Couucil
was held at the Foreign Pellet, which was SUM-
moneil in consequence of the arrival of the dis-
patches brought by Lieutenant PoosoN on Wed-
nesday evening front Amerca. It was attended
.by -fill the Cabinet Ministers except the LORD
CHANCELLOR, who is still confined with the gout.
The Council sat but a very short time—it was up
in less than half aryliour.

Yesterday the Earl of HARROWBY, As Lord Pre-
sident of the Council, gave the annual grand
dinner, called the Sheriff's dinner, being previous
to their being pricked for in Council, which was
attended by all the Cabinet Ministers. All 'the
distinguished guests who were present on the oc-
casion, appeared in full Court dresses..
The Earls bf WESTMORLAND and MULGRAVE,
and Mr. B. P. BATHURST, arrived in town yester-
day morning.

Counter orders were
.issued on Tuesday to the
detachMents belonging to the regiments serving
in India, whose departure for that part of our
empire was suspended a short time since, with the
intention of sending them to reinforce Sir T. GRA-
HAM'', in Holland: These detachments ;ire there-
fore now to embark for India, according to their
original destination.
On Friday a detachment of the 95th,- or rifle
corps, marched into Lewes from Shorn Chile, and
the next morning proceeded on to Portsmouth,
there to embark to join Lord WELLINGTON'S
army.

their march to; join Lord WELLINGTON, a•strong

Extract of a letter from an officer on board
Majesty's ship' Albion, off tNa.ntucket, Dec. 11,
1813 :—" We have this moment fallen in with a
Russian ship from Rhode Island, bound to Liver-
pobl; and from thence to Gottenburgh ; her inas-
terstates the information, that Commodore ROD-
GERS sailed from Newport last Saturday evening,
after having laid an embargo on all the outward-
bound vessels the fire days preceding. She con-
trived to elude the vigilance of our cruisers on this
sration, which is extraordinary, as we have seen,
and spoken with, in this week, his Majesty's ships
Ramilics, Loire, and Orpheus ; and there are
smaller vessels cruising in shore."

On Saturday last, a fisherman's boy, of the
name of CARTER, itratnionsly ventured at low
water, on a large sheet of ice, near Westminster-
bridge, which, from the turning of the tide and
the thaw, suddenly separated from the side, and
carried him up the middle of the river towards
Miil-bank, where his cries attracted the notice of
a watelMan, who pat off to his 'assistance, and
fortunately, by' the application of hisoars, reliev-
ed hitu from
,his perilous situation.
