EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM CANDY, THE CAP!.
TAL OF CEYLON, DATED 23D OF ERR! 1803.
gg Since I wrote you lasr, we have IfaJ. many
difficulties to surmount, our ib.ids, have bcen
troublesome, nothing less in faa
,than constantly
ascending anti descending immense mountains,
with some bush fighting, but of no great con.
sequence. The country in which we now are, has
however, amply repaid us for all our troubles—it is
most undoubtedly one of the finest countries in the
world, 'and well deserves the name of Paradise.

• " Mountains cultivated to their summits and in-
terspersed with 'rivulets, villages, and cattle—with
well trodden fOot-paths crossing them in all diree.
tions—fruitful Vilifies, with groves of areca, jacks
cocoa-nuts, limes, orange, plabtains, and pumple_
nose trees, with fine villages, and fields of Paddy
Raggee, Natchenee, and other grains—the Paddy
fields well .watered by the streams rushin. down
froth the mountains, altOgether forming such sttik•
ing
_scenery us is but'seldom seen.

-4! We marched into Cantlia ore the evening of the
loth, and found it wholly deserte3, the King hay.
ing removed all, the treasure from the palace, and.
the inhabitants from their houses. The palace, when
vve.entered it, was partially -on. fire : it is an
mense pile of building, and perhapi only inlerior to
that of Seringapatam. The town is about two miles
long, aesd consists of one principal street, terminated
by the palace at the•upper end, ,there are also many
lesser streets branching 5.6 on both sides, but of no
great length. The houses are chiefly of mud,. and
raised above the level of the street abourfive feet,
you ascend_ to theartherefore by steps.
dg .A•few of the houses at the upper end of the
street, belonging to. the principal inhabitant's) are
tiled and white.waslie& The palace inbuilt of a
kind of chunam, or cement, perfelly white, with
store gaieways. it is a square of immense extent,
one face of which is new, and not yet finished. in
the center is a small square inclosure, which is a
cemetery, anti contains the tombsi'bf the Kings of.
Candia. The palace contains a g't6at iltinilfet, of
rooms, the Walls of which are painted in the most
grotesque, manner you can imagine, and covered
with a multiplicity of inscriptions. Many of the
walls' are covered with immense pier glasses of
about seven feet by four. In one room. is a gigantic
brass image of Budha, in a. sitting posture, with two
smaller ones at his feet.
46 The river of Candia is a very noble one, anti
swarming with fish, as the King would never allow
them to be. molested. We saw five beautiful milk
white deer -in the Palace, which was noticed as a
very extraordinary thing.
66 We are now 'encamped about two miles from
the Capital, on this side of the river, and Col. BAR.
nor has been detached with the Malay Regiment,
for the purpose of escorting, it pis said, a, Successor
t 9 the Throne. As the. King had removed all his
Trca:Aire before our.arrival, Svc • have not got any
Prize.money," •

Garden Theatre. Lewis is well kilown iur his
liveliness and diverting blunders in Metrinio, and
he rendered the part full as animated and entertain.
ing as o'er. The part of Miranda had a very
sprightly, and interesting representative in Mrs.
