The extraordinary rainy weather which hias
prevailed here seems to have seen common
throughout Bengal, and has extended its uncom-
fortable gloomiuebs to the upper provinces. We
hope this unseasonable visitation may not be pro-
ductive of an unhealthy hot season.

The Police of Calcutta is at present occupiec

hi examining into the. conduct of the crew of a
river vessel, in which a valuable cargo of indigo
and other goods had been sent down for a ship
lying below. The crew, we understand, reported
the total loss of the vessel ; but the discovery
that certain parts of the cargo had found their
way to town, has led to.this inquiry.

Naw ORLEANS, AtIG. Z.—There is a report in
circulation that a severe action was fought lately
off the west end of Cuba, between the Mexican
schooner Hotspur, and the Spinibh brig Casidore ;
the latter carries 18 guns, with a complement of
160 men ; the former, 8 guns and GO men.
Vu-
egual as the contest ►must have been, yet we un-
derstand the Hotspur would have carried the Ca-
sidore, had not other Spanish vessels; hove in
sight. The. Casidore was so crippled
,that she
could not give chase, and half the crew of the
Hotspur were killed or wounded.

A paragraph has appeared in several of the
Morning :Papers, stating
.that the NeWspakts
which have rece.tly arrived from America give an
account. that some of the Convicts at Van Die-
man's.Land had mutinied, and curried nff two
vessels; bit :is letters are now in town, dated the
26th December, from a most respectable' mercan-
eantile house at New Smith Wales, which make

no mention of any such circumstances, it is to be
hoped that the American accounts are not correct.

If the communication said to have come from
St. Helena, and which we inserted in Tile SUN
of yesterday, is not a mere fabrication, it is a
striking proof of the folly, rashness, and incon-
sistency of BUONAPARTE. It is understood that
Lord AMHERST is the bearer of a letter from him
addressedio the PRINCE REGENT. The purport
of it may naturally be conceived to be a desire to
be liberated from his present situation. Is it then
to be supposed, unless he gave'way to the most
impolitic feelings, that he would, in his conver-
sation with Lord AMHERST, or any of his Lord-
ship's suite, have cast reflections On the British
Government, which, to effect his object, it was his

Lusiucss to entleitvour to Conriliate, or that lie
could iblink Lord AIVIRR Would liSteil to such
refiecthini. That there may be same foundation
for the articliin ?iquestion, and that it may not
be wholly a fab`ri'etiiion', 'May he admita ; but
that it 11143 passed n Parry monaon, and
received a colouring in tiVe i'rart.s'it, can be little
doubted. It t eemi .p.rObabiC, that the Person
,1
who combined the minutes Of the conversation,
blended his own opinions in 'tflie bocument,
or, as it first appeared iu an Opposition Print in
London, gave the Editor a liberal toleration to
adapt it to the character, principte.s., iind objects
of his own Journal.

The more people reflect on the recent charges
in the French Cabinet, the more ominous will
they appear. It is impossible that the Continental
Governments can see without alarm the power of
France gradually falling in;o the hands of those

who, witlt others not at this time in that country,
nut only produced and sanctioned the snb,ersittn
of the Throne•of France, but spread the horrius
of war all over the Continent. It •seems that the

Revolutionary AgehtS who have left France were
too hasty in 'heir removal, as they also had a
right to expect a. restoration to power, as well as,
those who liave recently been invested with it ;
and, as they are so much experienced in the arts
of subversion, it may be supposed that their lot-
tiler associates will prepare the way for their re-
turn. The several Cabinets on the Continent may
timeline well be alarmed on seeing France again

in the hands of the men who have spread so much
disorder, and whose principles and ambitious
views most be exactly the same. The age and
infirmities of the King of FRANCE, and his suffer-
ings during the Revolution and the Usurpation of
BUONAPARTE, may induce him to wish for tran-
quillity, and quietly to resign the management of
affairs into the hands of those who know bow
to keep the people quiet. His situation tray be
compared with that of the present DUke of
SUDEI;MANJA, Or KING OF SWEDOT, if lie is to
be called 30 while his lawful Monarch and hit'
Son, the rightful Heir Apparent, are alive:: it
is impossible to suppose 'bat be wouldVhdtve
exalted a French Adventurer into the dignity of
Caows Putsca, if he had Dot been betrayed by
bribery on the one hand, and awed by the fear
of BooNAPAIITS on the other ; nor is it by any,
means improbable that, when this King is re
moved by death, the people of Sweden will re•
fleet on their nation thumiliation, and wish tor

le restoration of an heroic Monarch, whose only

'milt was a sense of the dignity of his situation,

and a 4letermined opposition to a Usurper, who

tyrannized over France, and whose ambition had
spread misery over many other countries. But to
return to France. Can any thing be more piti-
able than its situation at this moment, in the
possession of those Who haie been the bittereit,
enemies of that family to,whorn they now pretend
to be attached! ? Au attempt: bias been made to
excite hatred and ridicule against *L'iue

men and virtuous characters in Francewho are
styled ULTRAS, but the probability- is 'that the
people would prefer them, granting that they irtay
have some prejudices in favour of the old Reginie,
to those who with bloody hands would mould a
new Constitution." We repeat our belief that
The Morning Chronicle, The Courier, and The
Times, are wholly mistaken in their conjectures re-
..
ipecting the real cause of the movements of Rus-
sia, who may well endeavour to secure itself
against new. attempts.. on the part of France to
embroil -other countries in order to renew the
reign of, plunder,, oppression, and massacre, when
the present King, whose life seems to. depend on
a thread, shall siuk into the grave, and when the
Revolutionary Politicians, having fitly regained
the ascendanto-may be expected to " cry HAVOC.,
and let slip THE Doui of WAR.V

Prince LEOPOLD came to town, on Saturday last;
purposely to survey Marlborough House, with a
view to the ascertaining how fat it could be rein-
del ed suitable for the reception of the Princess
CHARLOTTE, during her approaching confinement.
His Highness went into every one of the principal
rooms; and it was not till after his observation
ot their present unfitness, that the arrangements
were filially made with Lord CASTLEREAGH for
the continuance of her loyal Highness at Clare-
mont. The Princess's accouche ment witl take place
at a time when it is not usual for more than
one Cabinet Minister to remain in town. The
others will be on visits at places in the neigh-
bourhood of Claremont, the Duke of YoaK's.

The Active has arrived from Jamaica, with near
a million of dollars on board. The dates received
by her are of the Ist of August, but they
nothing of importance.
