MONDAY, APRIL II 1805'.

Wit some days ago cautioned our Iteade,rs'againit
giving credit to the repo-as which were indUstri.
ouhly circulated ,reepteling the defeat or check of
the Army under the command of General Lord
LAKE,in India. We are now enabled to'contradid
them positively. The last Letters which have
teen 'received from Lord LACE state, that hit-Lord.
ship was then on the point of marching 'against the
Enemy, but he had had no engagement with them
whatever.
With respea to the defeat which the Detachment
under the' command of Colonel SHEPH tkn is said to

have sustained, we are unable either to contradict
Of confirm the repott 3 but ,we think it our duty to,
correct an error into which the Public have been
led by those who seem determined to lose no
opporrunity of dejareciating the successes and
exaggerating the-misfortunes of their Country...—
Colonel Stu rH E who is said, to have been de-
feated, is represented as' having commanded a Dc.
tachinent of Lord Lnics'a Army, and the .conse-
ciaenc:s of his defeat (suppoiing it to be true) are
stated a, being most serious. The fan is, Col.
FiFt r,ra tap' did not command any detachment from
Lord .LAKE's Army, or any part of the Regu-
lar Forces. lie commanded a small number of
N4tive Troops, whiel, from his long residerce
in the Country, he had been enabled, to collet
himself; and it is. very. rrobable, that in conse.
quence of the defeat -of Colonel Motrsoti, he . had
fallen back : hut even if it be true ihat he has him.
gelf Suffern! a defeat, it can have very little, if any,
cad upon the operations of the Main Army.

1,, the accounts which have lately been received
from the Continent in Private Letters may be de. ,
pended upon, BONi.PAgTE has succeeded in pre-
vailing upon the Emtiltaott .of GitIi.MANY to acknow.
ledge his newly.usurped title of KING of ITALY)
and to reduce very considerably the number of
Austrian Troops on the, Italian frontiers. We ahall
certainly require some mire authentic litchi-
,gence upon the subjeft before we give implicit ere.
'dit Ito this statement ; though, after the contluet
which.vie have for some time witnessed in 'many of.
the ConlinentAl States, we cannot be much surprised
at any submission to the will of the Usurper, how.
over impolitic or'however degrading.
