T.hat on the 23d inst. a little .before day-light, the Candidttit
commenced an attack on the Hill Guard, in the rear of the
Palkee-on- which was 'a 3-pounder, and took it. That soon,
afterwards a strong party of the Enemy; headed ,by-a
made a charge at the • eastern barrier, to endeaVour to take a
gun, which was posted there, who were opptisetl'by Lieut.
N EY, at the head ofa few men of the ioth Regiment,
and, who,.himsell fell in the contest ; that an incessant tire
was kept
.up on both sides, until about two o'clock in the
day, - when as the Enemy was breaking in at the-back of, the
Palace, Major QAVY sentout a flag of truce, offering to sur-
render the town, on being permitted to march out with
arms; this they consented to, and inconsequence Major
vv, after-having spiked the guns,- marched out about five
o'clock, and proceeded to *Wallapolage, Where he was-obliged
to. halt at night, from being unable to pass the river. The
next morning the Candians sent out fonr.Moodeliers, to pro-
pose; that it Major OA v Y would give up 15ownoo
nti, their King, who had retreated With him, they would
assist him with rafts and boats to cross the river, whereupon
Win' DAVY instantly gave him up a Prisoner; after which;
another message came, viz. that there were plenty of bamboos
andother materials at hand,: and that they might make rafts
theniselVesi All that day was employed in endeavouring to
Mae rifts, but they could not get a rope across the river,
from the depth and rapidity of-- the Stream, but next morn-
ing, at ten -o'clock, Capt. HUMPHR lES, of the Artillery, re-
ported that he had succeeded in getting a warp arrow, at
which time the Malays and gun Lascars began to desert in
parties, with their arms, over to the enemy : upon
• which' Major DAV., ordered the remainder to ground their
arms, and-to foiloW-- him, with all the'Otficers,
.hack to the
•garrison. • As soon as they had proceeded about zoo 'yards on
their way-thither; the Candians stopped them, took the Offi-
cers on one side, and kept them prisoners for halt an hour;
when, the declarant says, he heard a shot, in the diredion of
the place'.where the Officers were prisoners, which he sup-
posed to be the execution of Major DAVY ; that immediately
af:.erwards they took out the European Soldiers, two and two,
and leadieg them a few yards along the road, knoCked them
down %yip' twebtizt,end of their pieces, and be3.t out their
braeis. That this declarant vi,is ir: Ms turn led out with his
co:trade, and received a bloW under the right ear, and a Wound
with 4.t.word in the back of the neck, Which the enemy con-
ceiv'ng be sufficient, proceeded to the Murder of the re.
mainder.-4-le lav as deal for some time and in that situation,
when all the men had been killed; he distinctly heard a firing
at the place where the Officers were confined, which he snp-
poseduto be the putting them to death. That While this was
doing, he took the.opportunity of crawling by degrees into
the jungle,.where he lay all day, and proceeded to Fort M
dowel by night; to give the necessary information.
His mark.

Note.-1-Fort Macdowal is a post in the Trincoimillee road,
sixteen miles from Candy, and was commanded by Captain
MAuc_ z, of the loth Regiment, with thirty Europeans, and
fifty'Malays, under Lieut Dit rse ERG : most of the Euro-
peans were. however, sick, and Very few fir for duty. This
post, together with all others in the Candian country, was
attacked in the same day, and had held out till the arrival of
the above Intelligence; upon hearing which, Capt. M Ana s
retreatedin the night, with only ten Europeans and a few
Malays, -being under the necessity of abandoning the sick,
and arrived at Trincomallee with the dreadful intelligence
on the 3d luly.
When the Attach was made on Candy, there was scarcely a
man fit rorduty, owing to the great sickhess then prevailing ;
and Major DAVY was obliged to leave his sick, and a wounded
Officer, Lieutenant PLENDERLEATII, of the 19th, in Candy ;
where they were soon afterwards murdered as they lay help
less in their cots. By 'this murder, the Candian have
gained upwards of tOOO stand of arms, 6 brass aix-pound-
ers, 6 howitzers, 8 brass three-pounders, 6 howitzeis,
and a inch mortar, and near sco Malays, ,who de-
serted with their arms, and a grenadier and rifle company.—

No arrangement, we believe, has yet been made
to supply
the vacancy in the Common Pleas by the
death of Lord ALVANLEY. The general belief is,
that Lord REDEsDALE will be appointed.
There were 22 of Mr. Fox's friends exa'aly
who voted with him on Mr. PITT'S Motion 'for an
Inquiry into the conduit of the Admiralty; some
few voted with the Ministry, .and sonic of them
went away before the division. Ministers muster-
ed theit whole strength upon that occasion : Officers
of the Navy and Army were Sent for express from
great distances, and Mr. ADDINGTON had the MOl%
titication. to see some, whose vote he thought he
could command, go away before the division, even
though it took place several hours sooner than was
expeded.

By the death of the Duke of Roxtitnt GH, which
title becomes extint, His Grace is succeeded by Lord
BE LL ENDEN in the Earldoms of Roxburgh and Kelso,
Viscount Broxmouth, Biron Ker, Cesfotd, and Car.
verton, 'with considerable estates.

THE ORATOR ro,—The Seletiion last night, at
Covent-garden Theatre, was chiefly from the Works
of HANDEL. BRAHAM, Miss MUNDAY,VALJOHAN,
and Mrs. SECOND, exerted themselves with great
ability. Miss MuNoAy is rising very fast in
public favour ; her " Lord, 'what is Man?"
was sung with- great sweetness. Th& Trio,: by
BRAHAM, VAUGHAN, and WELSH, " Disdain.
firl of Danger," deserVed the applause it re.
ceived. The March in Saul was pat ricu.larly well
supported. indeed the whole, f.,r individual merit-,
and grandeur of efreft, deserved a More ournerous
Andience than was present on this occasion.
CONCERT OF ANCIENT MUSIC.---ThG fifth per.
. cm-mance took place last night, under the direaion
of Earl DARNLEY, and it was impossible to hear
more excellent Music. Mrs. BILL; NGTON was
never in finer voice, or sung better. The perform-
ance was honoured with the presence of the PR INC E
of WALES. His Royal Highness came with Earl
DARNLEY, with whom he had dined.
The Dutchess of DEvossn IRE. is to give a very
splendid route early next month in Piccadilly. I

ANOTHER DttEL.-.—Monday morning a meeting
took place between Mr. C---rt and Mt. 13t—E, in
consequence of a family dispute. Two shots were
interchanged, the last of which grazed Mr. I:—'s
ear.—Tice seconds then interfered, and the matter
was amicably settled,
