TUESDAY, MAY 28, 1805,

AT a late hour last night we received Paris and
Duial Papers, the former to the zzd and the lat-
ter to the 25th inst. The French Government
have publishcd in The Moniteur a kind of Official
Abiptrati of the Proceedings• in the West Indies.---
Their Account does not differ in atiy very essential
point, except as to the extent of the injury done
to our Colonies, from ththe which we have already
laid before our Readers, The Letters from which
this Airstrati is given do not come from General
LA GRANGE kind Admiral. MISSIESSY, the Com.
manders of the Expedition, but from Gen. EgNouy,
the Commandant at Guadaloupc
We have extraeted a Letter from Cadiz, dated
the 3oth ult. which states, that no intelligence had
been received of the Combined Fleet since their
sailing. The same. Letter adds, that it is conjec.
toted that the Toulon Squadron had passed the
Straights in the night, and returned into the Me.
diterranean ; but this we think extremely impro.
bable.

Vice-Admiral VER it RUG has been arpointed.Mi
Disler of Marine of the Ratavian Republic.

Letters from Rotterdam state, that a Law is
about to be passed in Holland, .enading a severe
corporal punishment, and in certain cases the pu-
nishment of death, for.introdoeing into that Country
any article of British mandafture. This measure
of severity however, it is added, expe!ted
to be of short. duration, as Sentsamat.reNsmicit
is understood to be very friendly to the Com.

WE yesterday stated; that Overland Dispatches
had been received from Goner.ii Lord LAKE, COM_
firming the .former Accounts of the Suece,ses ~b.
tained by the British Arms in India, and announc_
ins new ar►d important advantages gained by his
Lettbship over the Troops of Flot.KAlt.

" 'Fite Fnetny occupied a position close under the walls

" Head-quarters, Furruckabad, Nov. ,17, 1304."

When the last advices came away General WEL-
LEst,ry was expeded daily at Bombay.
From a Calcutta Paper of November 2S, we have
made the cictiaa subjoined :

" An authentic Letter, received front an Officer of mink in
the camp of the Commander in Chief, gives the following
account:

" After a march of thirty-four miles this morning, we
reached the enemy's camp before day-break, and completely
surprised him. We gave them first several discharges of
grape from the Horse Artillery, and then His Majesty's Bth
Dragoons moved on upon them, and great havock ensued : so
complete was the surprise, that many of the horses were re-
maining at their pickets when the Bth got in among them. 1
was with the Bth all day, and 1 assure you their execution
was most considerable, and the enemy's loss must have been
enormous ; the. whole plaia was covered with iiiernselves
and horses. Our marching for these last seventeen days has
been very great. This day our horses went upwards of lifter
miles."

MADRAS, JAN. 4., 1805.—All the ships are ar-
rived at Bengal from Europe, and it is intended that
both the Bengal and Madras Fleets shall sail in Fe-
brtury under Admiral RAINIER.
Our Letters from Calcutta, to the 24. th of De.
ember, mention, that GenerallAKE was investing
the strong fortress of Deeg, under the walls of which
HOLKAR was ‘l.ncamped with his army ; the fall of
that place was shortly expected.

YESTERDAY the Report of the Sete& Committee
appointed to examine into the matters contained in
the Tenth Report of the Commissionect of Naval
Inquiry was laid before the House of Commons

notice, that he should, on Thuriday se'onight,
move Articles of Impeachment against Lord 11/at..
TILLS. lie also gave notice at his intention to
move Some. Resolutions against Mr. PITT.—We
understand that the Honourable Gentleman's Mo.

ing been advanced to Messrs. BoTo and Bs x.
YIELD, a measure which, from every thing we have
beard of the circumstance, was completely j►►sttfird
by the ptessure of the case, and the omission of
which might have been attended with consequences
highly detrimental to the Public Interest.
The Report was ordered to be printed, and we
hope in a few days to have an opportunity of laying
it before our Readers. ; but in the mean time we
must caution the Public, to receive with great
suspicion any garbled or pretended Extracts from it.

We regret to state, that advices were yesterday
received of the capture and destrkti.m of the
greater part of the outward-bound' Newfoundland
Merchant Fleet from Cork and Waterford, by't wo
French Privateers and a Spanish twenty gun Ship.
This very unpleasant c►rcutnsr.tnc` was announcla
in a.Letter from Cork of the 214 t ino • which states,
that the whole of the fleet which raiied frum.thenc!
on the 9th had been either burnt or captured.—
Two of the with' the Sp:itiisll Still, it is
added, were to taken by 'thy. T.paze and Rosario,
which, went in pursuit ~;1 the. remainder. The fleet
consisted of—

,Good Fortune, ItlcklAN.Diori ; Creon, K E
LEBEAK, from arrimAnti ; I) d 091.11/y, PSitL6,
from Cork.

The Letters state, that off the North-west coast
of Ireland there were tve,a French Privateers, and a
Spanish Corvette 20 guns, the latter of winch is
taken by the Topaze. She had taken the Young
William, of London, Captain YnVNG, frtm, Cock
to Wesrporr, with spirits and porter. The Good
!vont, PHRLAN, and the Frieinti, KAVANNAGIi,
after being plundered of every thing, were suffered
to escape, and have since arrived.

MILAN, MAY r4.—His Majesty the Emperor
and King gave audience on the r rth to•several
Italian and French Generals, and other Officers ;
while several of our young Citizens, forming a part
of the Guard of Honour of His Majesty, on foot
and on horseback, were presented to him. The
same day were also presented to His Majesty the
Ministers of the Kingdom of Italy, the Members of
the Consulta, and those of the Council of State.
Next day the Marquis LVCCIUSINI, Minister
Plenipotentiary and Ambassador Extraordinary of
the King of Prussia to the Court of France, was
admitted to an audience of the Emperor, who also
received a Deputation of the Department of the
.Alps ; after which His IVlljesty was present at the
Parade.

Yesterday His Majesty was engaged nearly the
whole day with the Ministers of the Kingdom of
Italy ; after which, he viewed the Citadel and other
public Edifices. Our Bishop delivered an Oration
before His Majesty, in which he expressed the sett.
timents of respect, fidelity, and submission, which
animated all his Italian subjefts.
HAGU e, MAY 23.—Yesterday their High Migh.
tinesses again assembled ; and on Monday next they
will pursue their deliberations.
In pursuance of a Decree of the Government, the
Minister of War has written to all the Corps of the
Army not to accept of any youth for the Service,
except Drummers, under t $ years of age, without
the consent of their Parents or Guardians.

We hear that Vice Admiral Vitt/MIL has, by
Decree, been appointed Minister et tie Marine of
the Bataeian Republic.
To.morrow all the Ambassadors residing here
will pay their compliments to Flis Excellency the
Pensionary ; after which, with their Secretaries, they
will dine with the Minister fur Foreign Affairs, M.
Viot Dart Goss.
We hear that no Ambassador from France will be
appointed to this Republic before the return of the
Emperor from Milan.

Dispositions are already making to establish a
Body-Guard for his Excellency the Pensionary. It
will consist, according to report, of rOOO men In.
fantry Grenadiers, and zoo men Cavalry Grenadiers.
It is also added, that a great number of the Officers
have Already bun appointed.
Sraissfutou, MAY Is.—This City was last
night thrown into the utmost consternation by the
ringing of the irt.bell. Just before twelve o'clock
the flames burst forth from a spacious building, for.
merly belonging to the Monks of Sr. Louis, and
now employed as a manufatiory. In the course of a
short time this large building was burnt to the
ground. Unfortunately, the flames communicated
to the Church of St. Louis, which was totally con.
sinned, the Tower failing io frith a terrible crash.
Through the vigilatee of the Prefect, and others, the
adjacent housts were fortunately saved, although the
flames continued to rage till this morning.
OTTERDAMI MAY 25.-4 have only time to
inform you, that a law is about to be passed in
Holland, enalling a severe corporal punishment,
and in certain cases the punishment of death, for
introducing into this Country any article of British
ManufaCture. It is however, hoped, that this sort
of severity will be of only a short duration, as
SCHIMMILrINNINCK is understood to be very
friendly to the Commercial Interests of Holland.

P. S. I have this moment learned, that A Procla•
Illation to the tate' exclusion of any Commercial
Intercourse between England and Holland, will be
published on Wednesday next.
Thr lilvdteur of May 21 gives the following
Letter from General ERIVetUr to His Majesty the
Emperor, dated Head Quarters, from the Camp
of Boulogne, twat. Basseterre, Guadeloupe, March
rz, r3a, :
" SIRE,

" By order of your Majesty, and in spite of
the numerous Fleets of the Enemy, a Fleet has
made ,its appearance at the Windward Islands. Its
