CLYLON, OCT, 19, i So 3.

INTELLIGENCE having been received that the
First Adigaar of Candy had assembled a very con-
siderable force at Batooghedcre;.in the S:ifftlgam
Coyle, with the intention of invading the firiti.-h
Territories, Captain WILLIAM MACPE-IFRSON, of
His Majesty's 'lzth Regiment, was det ached from
Columly.), with a party, consisting of 50 Europeans
and 120 Nittives, to disperse his army.

Capt. W. MACPHERSON left Columbo on the
morning of Thursday, 6th Odober, and after a •
fatiguing march through the Raygatn Corle, passed
the Candian frontier on the 9th. His march was
afterwards opposed by the Candians, posted behind
two batteries, who were, howeyer, driven back
without any loss on our side, and-lie arrived oppo-
site to Batooghedere, on the Northern Benk of the
Calor) Gunga, on the 12th lest. The fullness and
rapidity of the stream rendered it impossible to
pass over, and one private of the
.ist was to for-
tunately wounded by a shot from the fpposite shore.
The Adigaar had, however, retreated with pre-
cipitation towards the Province of Cova, and-the
army with him is supposed to have dispersed. Cap-
tain MACPHERSON therefore turned his march .to.
the Northward.) and proceeded through the Can_
dian Territory to Avisavelle, having-executed (as
far as circumstances would alltiw) the object of his
expedition.
Capt. BEAVER having heard that Hambangtotte,
was attacked by the Candians in great numbers, on
the 29th ult. marched with the force under his com-
mand, from Catoone, in the Matura District, where
he was stationed, to relieve that place.
He arrived at Hambangtotte on the 6th instant,
but the blockade had already been raised by a
spirited and judicious sortie of Ensign NM:4E R GAST,
accompanied by Mr. W. PRICE, Assistant Surgeon
of His Majesty's tzth Regiment, who was acci-
dentally uporr the spot.
This sortie drove the Candians to a considerable
distance from the place, and they have now eva-
cuated the Provicce of the Mahagampattoo.
File numerous batteries constructed by them were
burned by Ensign PENDERGAST, and nothing but
the fatigue of the Malay Invalids and the rapidity
of the Eiletry'i flight in every direttion, prevented
a consid-rable slaughter.
The terror At the Candians on this occasion, was
-augmented by a heavy fire kept up by the Armed
Biig Minerva, Calu. JoHN M4Nicoe, which had
been moored close in shore for the purpose cf an.
noying the Enemy.

Deaf to the cries of suffering human kind,
A Despot's nod astonish'd Europe rules,

To combat Sophistry—o'er Error's night
To pour the blaze of intellectual light,

'Tis theirs to rear the arm whose mortal blow.

As while. o'er Valor's and o'er Virtue's tomb
The Muses bid eternal roses bloom,
In adamantine words to deathless shame
They give the Despot's, Traitor's, Murderer's name.
Then, Tyrant ! still repeat th' injurious stroke;
Still, kneeling' Europe ! kiss th' inglorious yoke;
Ages remote on History's page shall see
One Nation happy, and one People free ;
Free! while with dauntless breast and daring hand
They dash to earth Oppression's galling band ;
Truth, Honour, Merc.'a mandates they revere, •
" -And, fearing God, disclaim all other fear."
Happy ! while Happiness, with liberal heart, •
To all who suffer, anxious to impart,
They deem their dearest. bliss mankind to bless,
To soothe affliction, and relieve distress.

BRISTOL, AP RIL

AT last Bristol Leather Fair a quantity of tanned
hides was seized by the searchers and sealers, for not.
being sufficiently dry ; the satire has since been tried
and condemned. It proves a serious loss to the
proprietor ;- and it is hoped that it will o:,erate as
a caution to those, who carelessly or fraudulently
bring their weather for sale in that state.
At Gloucester Fair, on Thursday lasts there' was
a large show of cattle, and a considerable demand
'for lean stock, which sold at some redudion in
price. There were few good horses. Fat pigs
averaged about score, but lean ones met
.with little or no sale.

At Hereford Fair, on Wednesday, there was ,a
remarkably fine show of fat and lean cattle. The
principal demand was for the latter sort, nearly the
whole of which was bought up. early in the day, at
good prices. , There were no horses of figure in the
fair; and there was but little bUsiness done among
'the hops, ~vhich,averaged about Sl, per cwt.
The Commission for holding' the General Gaol
Delivery for this City, was opened on Saturday,

following Prisoners were tried, viz. Ma-tilda Evans,
for stealing too guineas, and several. bank notes
from Mrs. Witcombe, College place ; and John Bal_
lenger, for stealing
.zo yards of cloth, tz handker.
chiefs, stockings; &c. in the. shot) of Mr. Dean,
High.street; were capitally convided, •and received
sentenced of Death.

On Saturday last I. Simpson,convidecl at the late
Assizes at .Stafford, of passing a forged Bill, or Or-
der for the Payment of 351. was executed pursuant
to his sentence. Re was of the Roman Catholic
persuasion, and as soon as the Priest who attended
him had performed the functions of his Office, the
unhappy man was concluded to the New Drop, in
the front of the County. Gaol, and the awful sen-
tence of the law was immediatelY fulfilled. ThiS
unfortunate man was about 35 years of age, hand-
some, and of a very gentlemanly appearance. Some
time ago he lived in great stile inthe.neighbourhood
of Worcester, and it is said he served as an. Officer
in the Army several years. • He was a- man of edis.:
cation,. and of a respedable family. Great interest
was made to save his life, but, the nature of his.
crime rendered all applications fruitless.

RUSSIAN MEDIATION.

, Mr. Secretary YjßKE.said, if there were any
Gentlemen who did not expeCt the Bill to come on
to day, he had -no, objection to postpone the third •
reading till Monday..
Mr. FOX said, he wished for an answer 16 a
question respeaing.a subjett he had formerly advert-
ed to, namely, a Russian Meaiation, which, if it'
was satisfaCtory„ might save him and. the
,House
good deal of trouble. He had had an intention to bring
forward a Motion upon the subjett very soon after
the Recess; he bad however heard reports of some
important transaEtions going on with Russia, which,
if true, might form a considerable objection to the
produetion of Papers. If he received a satisfaCtory,
answer upon this srubjea, he should avoid making
any Motion upon the subjeCt.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
said, he was glad of jhe opportunity of explaining
what had been rather sever6y animad Vejli d upon by
the Hon: Gentleman on. a former occasion. 'He
stated on a former day, that there was every tvishon
the part -of the Ministers to put the House in posses-
sion of all the information in their power, but that
there
.were tibjcetions which might render it highly
ineipedient to lay'any Papers respeding the aubjett
before the House. lie then stated two .objeCtions ;
the one arising from circumstances existing. at that
time, and the other from 'subSequent circumstances,
which might still prevent His Majesty's Ministers
fror?.. • inaking•any -ComMunication to the House,-,.
these' latter circumstances still existed. Whether
any. Negotiations were subsisting with Russia, he
was sure neither the Hon. Gentleman nor the House
would expeCt to be informed;' nor, he was con.
winced,
.would the Hon. 'Gentleman, if he knew of
th.c.-cirCumstanceS which still- existed, press any
Motion upon. the subjeff: He assured the Eliin.
Geotleman he had been as explicit. as he could, con.
sisteutly with.his duty.

IRISH MILITIA-AUGMENTATION BILL.

Mr. G.RE NVILLE observed, that several Gen.
•
tlemen had upderstood that both the Bills were .not
•
to be read a third time on the same day, and as
some who were not nolr present wished- to speak
upon the Bill for augmenting, the Irish. Militia, he
therefore proposed, if 'the Right Fin. Gentleman
(Nlr.• Secretary N7ottxt,) had no .objedion, to post-
pone the third reading:of that Bill till some day next-
week.

Mr. SHERIDAN thought the priority ought to
, be given to the Bill
,for augmenting 'the Militia of
Ireland, as they ought. to augment first,. before
they drew away the existing Militia, since it would
be' vet), preposterous it the Bill for accepting the
offs was to be agreed to, 'and' then the Bill for
augmenting, to be negatived. •
Mr. Secretary YORKE obterved, that the
dress—upon Ills Majesty's. Message only spoke.of
enabling His Majesty to accept the offers of the
Irish Militia, but took no notice of the augmenta-
tion ; the former, 'therefore, of course had the
priority.
The Bill was then ordered to be read a third time
on Monday. •
London, England, 1804-06-26

DOLLARS.

Mr. STURGES BOURNE moved the second reading
of the Bill for preventing the Counterfeiting of Doi-
lars issued by the Bank of Engldnd, and of Tokens
in Ireland.

Mr. PRINSEP objefted to this Bill on various
accounts, but particularly, that. it was an' imposi-
tion upon the Public for Government to allow the
circulation of any coin, except that which was issued
from His Majesty's Mint.
Mr. DENT thought the Dollars a considerable be-
nefit and advantage to the Public, and was in favour
of the Bill.

Mr. STURGES BOURNE, in answer to what
had fallen from Mr. PRINsEP, observed, that those
medals (as the Hon. Gentleman styled them) or
Coins, were issued not as from the Royal Mint, but
upon the Credit of the Bank of England, as Silver
Promissory Notes. It was not compulsory on the
Public to accept them if they did. not chuse, ally
more than to accept the Paper Notes of the Bank ;
but as both were an accommodation to the Public,
and would be equally accepted as such, the question
was, whether it would not be politic to guard -the
Public against fraud; by the forgery of Dollars as
well as on "that of Bank Notes ?

Sir Ill: BLOXIMM, a 3 a Banker, thought the
issue of Bank 'Dollars of very great public conve-
nience, and supported the Bill, which was read the
second time, and committed for 0-morrow.

The Irish Linen Mapufaaure Bill was read the
third tithe, passed, and ordered to the Lords.

SLAVE TRADE.

On the Motion of Mr. WILBERFORCE, the
House proceeded to hear Counsel on the Slave Trade
Abolition Bill.

'Mr. PIGOTT having been beard at length, Mr.
PLUMER was ptoceeding, when
Mr. FULLER expressed his wish to defer the
further hearing of Counsel ; and hoped the House
would indulge the Petitioners against the Bill, with
liberty to adduce evidence at the Bar, as they could
make out a new case.

Mr. PITT objected to this, and said the House was
already possessed of volumes of evidence.; that
Counsel had offered nothing new, and, therefore,
to hear them further was unnecessary. He conclud-
ed by moving that the Bill be engrossed, upon which
the House divided,
