GENEVA.

Extract of a letter from Geneva, Saturday morn•
ing, February 1 :—" We had a grand ball last night
at M. Eynard's. During the dancing there was a
sudden disappearance of gentlemen, and on inquiry
it was found that an express had arrived from Nyon,
to gay that 500 Poles from Berne, Lausanne, &c.,
had marched to Rolle, where they had attempted to
force the arsenal. They afterwards embarked at
Nyon, and were supposed to be going to land in
Savoy. For some time past the Savoy frontier had
received such an accession of troops, that Geneva
was uneasy, not knowing the reason. This morn-
ing the generale beat to arms, the contingent has
been assembling, and all the young cavaliers, who
were so gaily dancing last light, have marched in
uniform past our windows, some to Almas,
where there has been skirmishing, others to La
Belotte, where it is said that 250 Poles have landed.
There can be no doubt but that the Poles were in
concert with the Savoyards and Piedmontese, whose
Government have been long aware of ir, and assem-

bled troops in con•egnence, ce qui a fait =nuer
le coup. 7 o'clock.—There has been a considerable
degree of rioting in the town during the day. A
caleche,gu ailed by a gt ndarme,attracted the attention
of the populace, who dragged four Poles out of it,
exclaiming ' !liven/ les Polonais,' and would have
carried them in triumph. The militia were called
out, and several of the populace arrested.** F. is
just returned from La Belotte. I wish I could relate
the interesting accounts he has given ; it appears that
the Poles rowed from Nyon at 4 o'clock this morning,
that they were obliged to embark their arms in
another barge, but whether it was the fault of the
bise, or treachery on the part of the boatmen, in-
stead of going to Thonon, where they were expected,
and the people ready to rise, they were obliged to
land at La Belotte. Troops from Geneva arrived
there shortly after; the Poles were huzzaed not only
by the people but even by the troops. Colonel
Dufour entreated them to re-embark, without
obliging him to have recourse to compulsion. He
is a great liberal, and popular with the Poles.•
At length they consented to do so, but on con-
dition that they should be free, and not escorted
by the troops. F. was highly interested by
their appearance : he says that, judging from
their demeanor, they were most of them gentle-
men. On reaching the place where they were to re-
embark, the Poles finding that the barge containing
their arms had been seized and taken to Genera,
were in despair, refused to embark without them,
and said that the troops might fire on them, but
that they would defend themselves as long as they
could with their pistols. Colonel Dufour again
went amongst them, trying, with the deepest sym-
pathy, to allay their feelings. He rtpre-ented to
them that Geneva would have broken its neutrality
if their arms had not been seized, but if he was
obliged to have recourse td force, they must all
perish : at length, between threats and entreaties,
they were prevailed upon to embark, the troops
all the while crying Vivent les Polonais yet
obeying orders with the greatest regularity. The
Poles are to be taken back to Nyon. The rioters
at Geneva seized their arms, which had been
brought there. Colonel -- was ordered to see
them placed in the arsenal : lie went on board with
a sufficient number of men for this purpose, but the
barge was soon surrounded by boats containing
between forty and fifty men ; he attempted to
harangue them, but it was all in vain; they carried
off the whole of the arms in triumph through the
town, including the sabre of Colonel --, which
they drew from its scabbard during the affray.
Eleven o'clock. The town is now very quiet, but
there is great disaffection among the people. The
magistrates and officers have been grossly insulted
by the people, and the troops are mostly in favour
of the Poles. The Council sits all night, and the
cavalry surround the Maison de Ville and the arsenal.
Whether it is the intention of the Poles to attempt
an entrance into Savoy or not, no one can tell. 1
will write again to-morrow."

CHURCH REFORM.--Petitions for and
against the reform of abuses in the Church of England,
,re now lying for signatures at Scarborough.

nyder AU, the founder of the Mysore dy-
nasty, was originally a private soldier in a corps raised by
his elder brother ; and for hie gallantry at the siege of
Adeonhully (twenty• three miles N.E. from Bangalore),
he was intrustei with the command of five hundred in-
fantry, and fifty horse; his character is described as a
composition of courage, cunning, and cruelty,—equally
prodigal of faith and of bloodequally victorious in the
use of intrigues and of arms : he could neither read nor
wri,e, hut his memory was so tenacious, and his sagacity
so great, that no secretary would venture to practice a
deception on him. His father died in 1734, in the hum-
ble situation of a nick of revenue Peoria, leaving his
tamily destitute and friendless; but Hjder AR came on
the stage wl en anarchy reigned in Alysore, and when he
who was the strongest and the most cunning and daring
might easily usurp the highest station in the king-
dom ; from the command of a few hundred met', he
quickly raised his force to two thousand horse and
five thousand foot, with a small artillery ; by degrees
be obtained assignments of more than half the revenues of
the kingdom, and ultimately taking advantage of the feeble
state £f the Government, he proclaimed himself ruler in
Seringapatam ; reduced the Raja of Mysore to the condi-
tion of a pensioner, shut up his enemies in cages, strength-
ened his fortresses, raised a large army, and vigilantly
superintended time administration of the kingdom, whose
affairs he had usurped the government of. Like Napoleon,
he had an inveterate hostility to the English, because they
treated him as an usurper; lie owed the ruin of his family
to his military co operation with the French, far the de-
struction of the British in Ind,a. His reign extended front
1761 to 1782. In 1780 his army consisted of 28,000
cavalry, 15 000 regular infantry, 40,000 irregulars, 2,000
French rocker tnen, 4,000 pioneers, and 400 Europeans.
