The Brest Fleet has only a complement of men
for eleven 'Sl)ip,s of - the: Line; but the Squadron at.
RoeheforL, has i'ts full complement. The Trans-
ports in the hatbour carry ten, thousand'
men, but the Men of War are fitted not to carry
twelve'ihousand inote ; and of 'the 28,000 men Lin-
der AUGFREAU, only zz.oco had received orders
on the zd instant, to hold 'themselves in readines, to
emb,.rk. Tie. Garrison at Brest and its Forts
amounts to 8000 men, of whOsn. 3ooa.are Artillery.
On board the Squadron at' Rochefort, are 4000 lapd
troops, and at the of Rhe 3000 more are in
readiness to embark.

The military,' both of the Army and Navy, are
regularly paid, 'hut the' complaints are loud on ac-
count of the dearness of provisions, and the severity
of the service. On the zd instant the price of a
pound of bread was five sons, and- of Meat eightten
sous.; a bottle of weak and bad wine, that Oost
losrMerly eight sous, cr)sis now twenty sous. At
thetnesS of the Subalterns, the price paid for dinner,
including a of Wine, was 50 sous; and the
isuperiorpifiers paid four liVres fur a dinner, with
a dish of coffee, but without wine, . For supper
the subalterns paid 4.0 sour, and their superiors
three livres. An indifferent bottle cf Bourdeaux,
or claret, and Vin de Grave, was charged '36 sous.
AUGERF.AU has broken several Officers for prhis-
, ing MOREAU, and throwing our doubts of the rea.:
lily of
.the late conrpiracy. Seven of the fifteen
Dragoons were, for that condna, severely repri.
tnande4 by AUGEREAU, on the parade, 'the-29th
of February.
,were afterwards disarmed, and
ordered to the interior in disgrace. Tile 36th Re-
giment of Dragons, in garrison at Nantes, , has
been ordered to rake their place, in the division of
the Army of England, near Brest.
The, above particUlars have been received from
a Gentleman who left Brest the .3d inst. He, adds,
that several. Chonans, amongst others a Captain
MARCHAUD, have been discovered to have enlisted
on board the flees' and been shot, Others, ,and
amongst them, BERNIER, of the late Chouan Staff,
are'yet itirrisoned, and expert to be sent to Paris
to be tried. This BERNIER. is cousin to the Car-
dinal Bishop BERN/ ER of Orleans, fmnerly a Nlem-
her of the Chouan's Executive Council.

We are happy in being able to announce the re-
ceipt of-Letters from 'Bombay to the .'346 .Septem-
ber, which furnish a complete confutation orthe ac-
counts in the French Papers, which stated the defeat
of the British .Army under the orders:of Gen. WEL- =
LESLEY by the Allahcattas. The French account
Appears to have been the perversion 'of another ru-
mour, which was fot some time in general 'accepta-
tion, that Gen. We ',LESLEY had defeated the Mali- ,
rattan with immense slaughter on' the banks of the -
Godavery. •The affair, however, proves to. have
been cif trivial moment. -A Mahratta Corps was
strongly posted on a hill with some picquets of Ca-,
valry its foot ; Gen. WELLESLEY ordered a,
detachment to dislodge them, which it fully effed—
ed, having cut the Enemy to pieces.
A strong detachment of the PETsiIWA'S Army is
under orders to' march on an Expedition against
Nirwar, on the road to which, at the village of
Beereir, is a valuable mine of iron belonging to
Sc tND EA, and -which he has lately worked to great
advantage. The Fort at this place is the strongest
in his possession, and is the place in which his State
Prisoners are confined.; it is likewise the grand
repository of his treasure, artillery, ammunition, ,'
snd military stores, of which it is supposed still to
contain .great quantities.
Some Chiefs of a gang of insurgent-Decoitt,; who
had been sentenced to 12: years hard labour on the
public works; lately effeteted their escape by making
their guards drunk, and flying to the hills, speedily
assembled a numernits Corps, with which they have
over.run large distrifts, 'and colleaed immense
booty. Retiring, arlength, before a body of Sepoys,'
'they took refuge in a'fort on an eminence in the Jun.
glen, Which- they endeavoured 'to strengthen ; but
being attacked by our people, they defended them.
selves for several hours with great decision, roiling
down great fragments of rocks on their assailants.
The Sepoys at length made a breach in the works,
and carried them at the point of the bayonet.
