THE Gazette of Saturday contains the Official
Account of the recapture of Gorei, and also s..me
further details of the proceedings of the Army un-
Ider General WELLESLEY, in India, which have al.
ready al peared in our. Paper. It was generally un.
derstood when the last Dispatches came away,
that,NegotiAtions for Peace had commenced, and
there can be little doubt of their having termi.
nated favourably, as all further resistance on the part
of SCINDIAU, must be evidently fruitless. The
Marquis of WELLESLEY has transmitted to Go.
vernment a long account, which is said to consist
of several hundred folio pages, of the causes and
object of the War in India ; and we have very little
doubt but that the cause will be found to be as jus.
tifLible as the result hag been glorious.

A Leyden Gazette of the a4th inst. has been re-
ceived, which brings the Paris news to the 17th.
A very considerable degree of discontent appears
to prevail in Paris, in consequence of 'the murder
of the Duke D!ENcHIEN and General PICHEGRU.
The Governor of Paris, General MuRAT, has pub_
lished an address to the General Officers and Subal-
terns of the Garrison and National Guard, in which
he requests them to etilighten the minds of the Citi_
zens,whenever they find them misled by false reports;
and he seems particularly anxious to corral an opinion
which seems to be very prevalent in Paris, viz. that
the death of Gen. PiCiltORU was, not the result of
suicide. He states, that all the arrests that have
taken place since that of General MortEntr, have
tended to confirm his guilt.—Some alarm appears
to have been excited by the appearance of the Stone
Expedition off Boulogne. They were perfealv ap-
prized of the inten►ion of sinking the Stone Ships
at the mouth of their Harbours.
The Funds are 54. 60.

The Debate upon the Marquis Of STAFFORD'S
Motion, which comes on this day in the House of
Lords, will, we have no doubt, be most interesr-
ing, as a greater attendance of. Peers is expetied
than.has been known for .1-11ny years.

Lordship, and have given it to Capt. Murray, and
ordered him to follow; as close as possible, the di.
reClions contained therein, The very ample supply
of stores and provisions this vessel appears to have
brought out; and the great strength of the Garrison
at present, enables me to assure your LOrdship of its
perfel security. •
Mr. Charles Pickford, my First Lieutenant, 'an,
intelligent and deserving Officer, and whom I (leg
leave to recommend to your Lordship, will have
the honour of presenting this letter. He will be

Copy of a Letter from Capt. Edward Sterling Dickson,
Commander of His Majesty's Ship the Incokstaia,
to William Marsden, Es7.dated at Gone, the sth
March, 1804.
sllt,
I have the Honour to acquaint you, fOr the in.
formation of my Lords Commiisioners .of the Ad,
miralty, of the arrival of His Majesty's Ship under
my command, and the Vessels named in the Margin*
off the Island of Goree, .on the morning of the 7th
of March : but; conceiving it possible•that'it rtiight
he in the possession of the. Enemy (although English
-Colours were hoisted on the Citadel, and Sentinels
clothed in red placed on the different Batteries),
I brought to with the Convoy, and direfted 'Mr.
Charles Bickford, my First Lieutenant, to proceed on
shore in the Cutter, and if he found it in the hands
of the English, to make the signal I established for
that purpose. At sun-set, nut any signal havingbeen
made, nor the appearance of the BOAC, I carne• to
anchor with the Convoy atlittle out of gun shot ;
and deeming it highly necessary to gain some infer.
mation withrespeCt to the situation of the Garrison,
I ordered, at ten o'clock, P. M. three Boats,
manned and armed, under the direaion of Mr. Rud-
ciman, Midshipman, to proceed into the Harbour,
and cut out any of the Vessels he could find, which
he did in a gallant manner, by bringing out a Ship,
under a heavy fire from the Batteries, which sunk
out Cutter, and wounded one man. From heir I
learned, that the French had been in possessiou of
Goree since the iBth of January, and that they had
three hundred White and Black Troops in the Gar.
risun.

On the Bth instant, at daylight, I weighed and
stood to the Westward of the Island, to prevent any
' succours being thrown in by Sea from Senegal ;
and, on the evening of the same day, being deter.
mined to attack it, having ordered scaling-ladders
to be made for that purpose, at nine P. M. anchored,
and ordered all the Boats of the Convoy to be sent
on board. the Inconstant, "and after embarking as
many Troops as they could possibly stow,. I fOnnd
they would not carry a sufficient number to promise
success ; I therefore postponed the Attack until the
arrival of one of our Convoy, which was in sight,
standing into the Biy, as her three Boats could carry
from thirty to forty more men ; at daylight in the
morning of the 9th instant, we were agrecably.sur.
prised by seeing the English Colours hoisted over
the French, and shortly after I received informs.
tion from Lieut. Pickford, that the Garrison had
capitulated with him ; I instantly stood into the
Harbour with the Convoy, anchored, and disem-
barked the Troops. Conceiving it of importance
that His Majesty's Ministers sVnild be made ac.
or:tinted as soon as possible with the ke.caprure of
this Island, I have purchased a small Brig, and sent
my First Lieutenant, Mr. Charles Pickford, an in.
" telligent and deserving Officer,;
,to England, who•
have. the Honour to present my Dispatches ;
and I beg kave to tecgmmend him in the strongest
manner to their Lordship? favour,
I have appCitited Captain William Murray, Se-
rior 04ct-r of the Troops, to. he Commandant of
Goree till His Majesty's pleasure is •known, .and
.Mr ‘l.'"illiani Arnold; Master's Matz, to be Lieure.
'cant of t:te. Inennsant, vice Pickford, and hopeit
'vvtil meet theii Lordships' approbation.

'I-he' moment I can get a sufficient Furl)Ty °I ".3.
ter and provisions landed, and put the Island i't°
proper state of defence, I shall proceed and put
their Lordship' orders into execution.
I cannot conclude my Letter without ssuril
their Lordships, that the greatest cordiality existed
between the Officers, Seamen, and Soldiers, ani
had an Attack been found necessary, from the hall°.
some manner they volunteered their services, I aril
persuaded they would have done honour to their
Country.
Enclosed are the Articles of Capitulation, and
the account of the Ordnance and Military Stores
found in the Garrison.
I have the Honour to be, &c.
