Letters from Coltunbo state. that our commrco ,
the Indian seas suffered severely by the Piedm,-.3.. • ,
previously to her capture by the Sr. FionEwzo. 11;e

for two lacks of Assistance,. CHAPMAN, from Bombay
to Columba; Sophia, HENDIEILION, front ditto to ditto; Fayz Sr -
How.*, Arab, from Calcutta to Bombay; Caudir Koala Klian,

Cochin to Colombo; the Resource, Carolina, Highland Chief,
Calcutta, Sarah, Mustapha, Louisa, and Waxy ; besides a rich
ship, name not ascertained, from Bengal to Bombay, and a snail
vessel, which she burnt.

The cruizing station, which the Piedmontaise oc-
cupied, was -favourable for interceptitig the trade
bound to the Malabar coast and the Gulphs; in fact,
scarcely a vessel, bound that way, could escape her.
The Althea, Elizabeth, and Experiment were cap-
tured by le Semillante • as were the Trafalgar,
Mangles, Susan, and Adr;sral Aplin (the lastutak)
by le Revenant.
Thirty of the Warren Hastings' people were serv-
ing on board le Revenant. The poor fellows, it is
said, were flogged and starved until they were com-
pelled to enter.
The whole of the above captures have been made
within the first four months of the present year.

The Countess of Ltvzit.PooL, mother of the Duchess
of Dower, and of Lady ABOYNE, lies in a dangerous
situation. Her Ladyship, in coming down the stairs,
last Friday evening, at her house in Hertford-street,
Park-lane, set fire to her veil with a candle. Before
she could be extricated, and the flames could be ex-
tinguished by two servants who came to her assist-
ance, she was very severely burnt from her shoulder
down to, her wrist on one' arm, as well as on her side
and back. Her recovery is expected to be slow, and
is by no means considered by the faculty as certain.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL, who was in the house at the
time, is much affected by the event. It is a remark-
able circumstance, that her sister, Lady WARREN,
was burnt to death a few years since at Brighton.
The Convention concluded between Sir C. Carrox
and Admiral SINIAVIN, in as far as stipulated for send-
ing hoine the Russian seamen, it appears, has not been
complied with. It is not at all unlikely that the„King
of SWEDEN has remonstrated against the execution
this Article of the Treaty.
At a Provincial Assize not long since in Ireland,
an Attorney was tried upon a capital charge of for-
gery. The trial was extremely long ; when after
much botheration from Counsel, and the most minute
investigation of *e Judge, it appeared to the com-
plete satisfaction of a very crowded Court, that the
culprit had forged the &minivan of a Mart who could
neither read nor WRITIC
On Saturday, November 26, the Grand Jury of
Middlesex found a Lue Bill of Indictment, in the
Court of King's Bench, against Sir James Cockburn,

Collins Jackson, John Prowett, Rev. Charles Sandley,
Dr. Bland, Samuel Rees Ellis, John Hayton, Robt.
Prowets, Jun. and Jane Fountain, for a Conspiracy
against Mr. RICHARD FREDERICK THOMPSON, Soli-
citor of the Philanthropic Annuity Institution, Pall-
Mall.
Thursday se'nnight, the Court of King's Bench,
Dublin, was occupied the whole day in a cause which
has for some time excited a particular degree of
interest in the public mind, namely, an action,
wherein LEONARD M,N•Aux, Esq. Barrister at
Law, was plaintiff, and Josaru HUBAND, Esq.
Barrister at Law, was defendant. The action was
brought for a compensation in Damages, inas-
much as it was alledged that the plaintiff had been
removed from the ofbce' of Deputy Seneschal of the
Liberty of the Manor of St.' Sepulchre, under the
Archiepiscopal See of Dublin. The case was referred
to the decision of a Special Jury. The Jury, at eight
o'clock in the evening, brought in a verdict for the
Defendant, with 6d. costs. •
Yesterday morning, the body of a young woman

fielas, near Hackney, and taken to the Durham Arms,
