YESTERDAY further Dispatches were received at
the India-Hcuse from the GOVERNOR GENERAL of
Bengal, which contain an account of the brilliant,
and we hope decisive, Successes of General LAKE:
"The first Letter of that General is_ dated the
4th of September last, which states the capture of
the important Fortress of Alyghur, which was
carried by assault that day, it having been thought
proper not to lose time in the slower operations
of a siege. This Fort, whicn had hithert6 been
deemed impregnable, was obstinately defended by
the Enemy, commanded by a French Officer of the
name of PERRON. We are sorry to say that our
loss on this occasion was considerable ; Lieut. Col.
IvloNsoN, who led the attack, was dangerously
wounded.

The next Letters of General LAKE are dated the
Itch and r zth of September ; they contain the de-
tails of a complete vinory obtained by our Troops
over the Et,emy, commanded by M.LE w ts, a French
Officer. The Enemy advanced from Delhi, and crosed
the lama, and commenced an attack upon the Out-
posts of the British Army, which had that morning
marched eighteen miles. A General Anion then en-
sued : the Enemy were provided with a numerous ar-
tillery,which was very well served, and did consider-
able execution ; nothing, however, could withstand
the impetuosity of our Troops, both European and
Native, who advanced within roo yards of the
Enemy before they fired. They then fired one vol-
ley, and rushed forward with fixed bayonets, and
forced the Enemy to fly, leaving behind them
the whole-of their Artillery, consisting of between
50 and 6o pieces of cannon. At that moment Col. ST.
LF E R charged at the head of the Cavalry, and made
a dreadful slaughter. The confusion of the Enemy
was so great, that numbers were drowned in at-
tempting to re-cross the Jumna. Immediately after
this defeat the Enemy evacuated the City and
Forts of Delhi, which of course were taken
possession of by our Troops ; almost all the
French Officers finding that further resistance
would be useless, surrendeted themselves to
General LAKE. The GREAT MJGUL, or, as he
is termed, th ICING of DELHI, being by our Vic-
tories reinst.ted on his Throne, expressed his de-
sire to have an iaterview with the British General,
which accordingly took place at the Palace in
Delhi on the 16:h Sep:. His Majesty received
General LAKE on his Throne, and testified the
!pest siLcere joy and gratitude fur this sudden and
pne4pected change in his fortunes.

The number of men killed and wounded on this
occasion iti not stated, but we fear it is considerable.,
Two Officers died from excessive fatigue and the
heat of the sun ; four were kiiicd in the Aaion, and
seven wounded.

No further Dispatches have been received from
General WELLEst.ty, but the brilliant success of
General LAKE will, we hope, be the means of re-
storing permanent peace to India.
In addition to the above gratifying intelligence,
we are happy to add, that our affairs at Ceylon
have taken a most favourable turn the Candiaris
have been driven with great loss from the British
Territories, the Royal Standard has been taken,
and a number of Malays and Lascars, who. were
!Lido prisoners at Candy, have been liberated.

THIS MOrnin; t Hat/447h Mails arrived
they bring no intelligence of importance. The
apprehensions of the Porte, of the designs. of the
French against the Noyeq, appear to increaser
and a cnnsiderable Army has been ordered to
march far the proteCtion of that Eeninstala.-7
Considerable movements have taker! place among
the French Troops in Italy, and it was generally
supposed that they had formed the design of taking
possession of the Island of Sardinia, but their inter!.
;ions were frustrated by the appearance pf a Piiti4l
Squadron.

The rumours of tir sai'ing of the To9lop Fieir
are repeated from different quarters an article
(torn the flagrq of the trh ult. states, that the
Toulon Fleet had escaped Lord NELsot.:, pas§ed
the Straits of Gibraltar, apd arrived safely at
Verrol ; and that it was about +to procted v ith the
French Squadrop in that Port to Brest. It is hardly
stecessary. to observe, that all the utter port 4t 444

of the sum wanted, and to settle the preliminaries
of a bidding for an early day next week. 'His
unexpened notice had the eff.6l to lower the funds
about five eighths per cent. as it was thought that
the Loan for the service of the United Kingdoms
would have been made in one cont ran. This piece,
meal Budget gives an alarm that the total will
greatly exceed what was apprehended.
RoBERT SHAW. Eq. was on Saturday last una.
nimously elened a Representative in Parliament for

chaired by the populace, from the Hustings to his
house in Motion-square.
A Declaration, it is said, is expened tq be
issued by the righ:ful M narch of France, d'eclaim..
ing all the attempts that have been recently made
to overthrow the Glvernment of BoNAPARTE, and
even containing expressions of reaped for the
Usurper. As an attempt to assassinate the Co tEF
CoNiUL is charged upon those who are accused of
a conspiracy against him, perhaps the exiled Mo-
narch may justifiab:y condescend to disavow all
concurrence in a measure tending to such an adion
but we hope the unfortunate King will feel his own
dignity too much, and have too high a sense of
what is due to the cattle of virtue and the rights of
mankind, to pay any compliments to a man, whose
life has been stained by such enormous guilt, and
who employs his ill-gotten power in oppressing
France, and insulting all other countries.
The friends of the young Coast de PoLTgNAC
have contradicted the report that he had male dis-
coveries of Conspiracies, in order to save his own
life. We are glad to find that this report is unfound-
ed, Life is a trifling sacrifice compared ro a dis-
honourable compromise jilt the odic is Usurper of
the Throne of the Boue.3oNs, and the object of
universal abhorrence.

CO NSTANTI NOPLE, FEBRUARY two
months we shall be able to judge of the truth of the
reports we have here, that a Fleet from the Black
Sea, of 4.5 Ships of different sizes, will sail into the
Mediterranean, and be joined by a Turkish Fleet.
There is no foundation for the report, that advices
have been received that Foreign Troops from Italy
have landed in the Nlorea. The Porte will, how-
ever, send a strong body of Troops to that Penin.
sula ; and some coolness is observable between the
Turkish Ministry and a certain Enibassy here,
F. 15.—The late English Ambassador, Mi.
DRvmmorro, has received at 'Bucharest, the Order
of the Crescent.

The French General BRUNE has proposed to the
Porte to reinforce its Troops in Egypt ; at the
same time the English Envoy has endeavoured to
prevail on the Turkish Ministry to admit a divi.
lion of English Troops into Egypt, for the secutity
of that Country.
MILAN, FE B. z6.—There are now colleted in
Genoa 7000 French Troops, whose destination is a
secret; but since an English Fleet has made its
appearance off Sardinia, it is said not only the
Genoese Territory, but the whole We.stern Coast
of Italy, wi;l be occupied by French Troops.

ITALY, MARCH B.—The French had intended
to occupy the Island of Sardinia ; several Ships were
hired, or rather put in requisition, and a great
quantity of biscuit prepared. As soon, however;
as an English • Division appeared off Sardinia, the
Ships at Leghorn, &c. were released, and the baking
of biscuit was discontinued,

HAGUE, MARCH 17.—One of our Journals con.
tains the following article "We are assured that
Admiral LATOUCHE, who sailed with the French
Fleet from Toulon, after having escaped the vigi.
lance of Lord NELSON, has passed the Straits of
Gibraltar, and arrived safely at Ferrol, where he
has joined the French Squadron lying there, and
will proceed with a ship of an Allied Power to
Brest.

" .41 Sea, Marcie z 6.

" At eight 9'clock yesterday morning, we round.
ed the Black Rocks under a press of sail, steering
north-west, with an ebb tide under our lee, and
ah:..ut twenty minutes afterwards, the ship struck
on a rock unknown to the Pilots of the Squadron,
and not noticed in the public charts. An attempt
was made to back the ship off, but without success,
for she swang head to wind. The boats were im-
mediately hoisted out, and every precaution re-
sorted to for her preseryation. The pumps were
kept going, but were of no use, as the leak in-
creased to two inches in a minute, and the water
above the orlop deck. Signals for assistance
were then made, the Captain now having nothing
in view but to save the ship's company. The
Ifidefatigable and l' Aisle anchored qn our bows;
the Pickle Schooner and. Fox Cutter upon our star-
board quarter, L'lmpetaeux, ColossuWand Monta.

" MT LORD,
" IT is with inexpressible satisfaCtion that I
have the honour to report to your Lordship, the
Capture of the Fort of Allyghur, this morning, bye
assault.
" Having spent some days in fruitless eadea`
yours to sate the unnecessary effusion of blood, on
finding that the Natives persisted obstinately in, •
their determination of resistance, and reieftea
every overture I mAde, I found myself under the
necessity of determining on some decisive measure;
and after maturely considering the probability of
success with the obstacles that opposed I judged
it preferable to attempt to carry it by assault, than
to lose time by the slower operations of a siege.
_ea

" In consequence of this resolution I order'
the Hon. Lieut.-Col. MONSON to lead the attzcif
composed of four companies of His Majesty's.76til
Regiment, and the Is( Battalion of 'the 4tb Rer
ment of Native Infantry, under Lieut.-Col. Bitow:10
with a detachment of the 17th Native Regitrten4
under Capt. BAGSHAW.
" Colonel flottsFoKo, of the Artillery coverers
their advance, by a heavy fire from batteries,
situations which had been previously determined otl
" I attribute the success of this attack entifelf
to the gallantry and steady condud displayed bri
the Hon. Lieut—Col. Mossorr, in leading on I'd
men under a must galling fire of musquetry 01' •
grape, against a Fort hitherto deemed impregnaill"
and defended on all sides with the utmost obstina,ll
" It woold be injustice in me were I not to
tion the distinguished bravery of the men of Ili:
Majesty's 76th Regiment, who, notwithstandintl
the loss of many of their Officers, steadily pe,rSevcie'
till the attainment of their objeft was effAed. t
"To Colonel Brow*, of the Ist Battatiort
the 4th Regiment, who has received a severe
wound, and to the whok of the Ofricers 01 th 44

MY LORD,

morning, ; learned that the Enemy in great force,
tinder Mr. Lim's, had crossed the Jumna from
Delhi, with the intention of attacking us."
" When we had encamped we found our out_
.
posts were attacked by a body of the Enemy'.
On
reconnoitring to our front, found chat the Enemy's whole Army were drawn up in order of battle. I
immediately ordered out the whole line, arid ad-
vanced to attack them in front.
" The Enemy, opposed, to us a tremendous fire
from a numerous Artillery, which was tinC' rryn
inly
well served, and caused us considerable loss in Offi-
cers and men ; but I have the satistaailn t., add,
thatival char our advance under. a most heavy Cann made and
alge of the Enemy at about 100 paces
distant, caused a most
precipitate retreat, and left
in our possession the whole of their Artillery.
The Cavalry pursued the Fugitives to the
jumna, making great havoc,
and numbers were
drowned in attempting to cross.
" In short, I have only to express my entire ap.
probation of the gallantry of the Troops under my
command, during the whole of this most brilliant
aaion, and shall have the honour to detail it more
particularly to-morrow, which the lateness
of the
hour prev,:nts me frum.doing at present.
