DOVER, AM., 9.
A tchetiner passed by hero. this afternoon, bound to
Immix with fruit, from Messina in 29 days, and froin
Gibraltar in l 2.—Five French lugger privateers were
observed from our hills tp come out of Calais about
five o'clock this afternoon, and to stand over towards
this coast ; but as the Trompeuse, Kangaroo, and
Beagle stood over from our Roads soon afterwards,
it is to be hoped they prevented the Frenchmen from
doing any mischief.-7 Wind N.W. and moderate.

BRIDGETOWN (pAßDAriors), FEB. 6,
After ha.ving_established the possession of Madeira,
Sir SAMUEL HOOD dispatched tQ this station the
ships of the line and transports mentioned to be off
our port on Tuesday. The men of war are the
York, Captain, and Intrepid, each of 74 guns, and
are now at anchor in Carlisle Bay,
The transports brought out the first battalion of I
the 25th and 63d regiments ; the flamer are intended
for the garrison of &t, Kitts, and the latter have been
debarked, and remain here. The 2.5 th are about 500
strong, and the 63d upwards of 800,
A great part of the Astrea's convoy from London
(only a part of which appeared off this Island 013
Sunday last) have not yet arrived here. The vessels
chiefly missing are those for Surinam, and the other
Southern colonies, and about 20 for Jamaica.
The embargo was taken off Q4r ports on Thursday,
Fairmont 13.--lis Majesty's ship Defence, '74
guns, Captain XKINS, arrived here this morning,
from 4 Lisbon, whence she had been dispatched from
Sir CHARLES COTTON'S ii11;41.4011 to cruize,
Sir ALEXANDER COCHRANE sailed from hence in
the pelloislc on Thursday, to join the blockading
squadron off Martinique, where all his ships of the
line now are; and immediately, upon the arrival of
the Defence, the Grorper schooner was dispatched
to inform him of it. The Defence, we understand,
also proceeds as soon as watered.
Fasationv 16,—The Defence, in consequence of a
communication from the Eurgelice frigate, which
touched in Carlisle Bay betwe4 S and 4 A. M. on
Sunday, proceeded immediately to sea ; and it since
appears that the Eurydice was dispatched by Sir
J. T. Duckworth into the bay, with information of
'his being then on his way off Martinique, in quest of
the enemy,
FEBRUARY J. T. Ducewoltzu, after hav-
ing joined Sir A. COCHRANE off Martinique, at eight
A. M. on Monday last, and holding a conference
with him, proceeded to leeward at eight that night,
and is supposed to be gone off St. Domingo, where
it is conjectured the enemy may be destined.
Rear-Admiral COCHRANE remains off Martinique
about seven leagues to windwerd, with the Belleisle
(flag-ship), Ramifies, Captain, York, Defence, and
Intrepid, of the line, with two or three frigates.
The outward-bound West-India trade from Cork
have all, except those proceeding to the Southern Co-
lonies, safely arrived here. Of this convoy one ar-
rived on Thursday, 89 yesterday. and seven (which
parted on the 20th ult.) this morning, under convoy
of the Unicorn frigate, which joined them of Ma-
deira. Those for Surinam, Demerara, &c. parted

Khan,
For some .. ,aths past iced a
hostile disposition towards the British Government in
India, without any apparent cause for his conduct.—
It was, at length, defined necessary tp punish him,
and for that purpose force was sent against him,
consisting of detachmeuts from Eum
CoIoneIDICKENS
and Colonel HoRSFORD, As it nags known the Chief
would net meet our fumes in the held, but would
throw himself into his strongest fort, three battering
trains followed the troops. This last circumstance
was mentioned in the former adviees, but as the pur-
pose for which they were employed was pot noticed,
the idea of hostilities had net transpires!, The names
of owns in our Eastern Empire not hieng very fami-
liar to an European ear, they are seldom stated with
precision. The fart, which was the object of attack
en this occasion, has beets variously named, viz.—
Kitspore Camoona, and Kassapool; it is situated,
however, not far from Alyghur, between Agra and
Delhi. The British arrived before it on or about the
25cl of October, and haying effected a breach, they '
took it by storm on the 24th of November, The
Chief had concentrated his whole strength in this
place, and his force was three times greater than the•
number of the British and native troops. The con-
flict was terrible, and the carnage great, but British
courage at length prevailed, and we obtained posses-
sion of the fortress, though not without a very heavy
loss of brave men; while the Rajah's main body was
opposed to our troops, be is said to have escaped with
a part of his force, to a place where he'had resolved to
make a vigorous resistance. Of the loss of the enemy
we do not pretend to furnish an accurate account,
but it is estimated at ;rewards of 1000 men ; indeed,
when the loss is considered on our side, we cannot
suppose that number to be over-rated. We have not
seen the return of the privates killed and wounded ;
but from the best sources of information, we have
reason to believe it does not fall nnich short of 400
tnen-.-a loss that will be much felt in India, and which
we are apprehensive cannot be compensated by any
object we may have gained. We suNciia a list of the
killed and wounded of the Officers :
Staff killed—Lieutenant,Coiond Duff, Brigade:Major Fraser.
Wounded dangerously—Major Lieutenant W. Fop.

Mr. cAmioN, the Purser of the General Stuart,
landed at Portsrnouth, and brought the clispatchF4 to
town. She left Bengal the Sth of December arrived
at St. Helena this 14th of February, and sailed frem
'thence the 21st. Sir George Barlow, who was invested
with the temporary Government of India, on the
death of Marquis CORNWALLIS, has I)eir) appointed
governor of Madras.
The other intelligence by these dispatches is of a
;sere agreeable nature. It is stated that the Indian
Government, apprised of the designs of France and
Russia against Hindostan, were engaged in attaching
the native Powers to its interest. Sondra and Kau
are represented as having made the warmest profes-
sions of friendship, and to have offered to assist the
British Power in repelling any attempt to distnrh the
common tranquillity—te Oauacur, Peishwa, and
Nizam have made similar declarations, probably with
more sincerity ; but the Circumstance which more
than any other manifests the general sentiment in In-
dia in favour of the English Is, that the Seicks have
consented to the occupation of some strong passes in
their country by British troops, in the event of the
menaced invasion being attempted.
Depots of stores are forming in the Upper 13 ro-
Winces, and many of the hill forts are repairing.
Several floating batteries are constructing at Bolo-
bay, to be stationed on the Indus and its branches,l
and numerous small armed vessels are to he stntioned
in the Western Gulphs.
A large French ship of war was lost in November,
off Sumatra,
The Nizam Is preparing a new colpogf. Most of
the other Powers. of India are following his eso.inple
in consequence of the depreciated state of dui; coins.
Letters from the Cape of Good Hope, dated the
15th January, state the arrival of the Sapphire sloop
of war from England, having Sir BAMFORD JONES
and suite op bo*rd, on an embassy to reni4. The'
_§,apphirp sailed from fortsmonth the latter end of No-
yember ; and as the embassy was to sail from the
Cape immediately, it must have arrived at its desti-
nation before this time;
On Saturday the Dispatches were finally closed at

played the greatest yai*y 4 resume. In this crowd.
were much beauty and fasluou ; some Ladies, in light
blue velvet pelisses, and caps to match, attracted much
notice ; also a Lady in a starlet shawl, put on in dra-
pery, and who war; a T4rt44 hotinet, was universally
aJmired. Sarsnet pelisses, with bonnets to match,
wpre almost universal. The colours grey and fawn;
also a great variety of shaded and 4iof sarsuers ;
number of cottage and straw hats or bonnets, and a
very few beavers. The Gentlemen were chiefly dres-
sed in peen coats, single-breasted, with two rows pf
metal buttpns, white waistcoats; light coloured small-
clothes, reaching to the middle of the calf of the leg,
boots with white tops, and cheqtied cravats,
whole squares. The hats have high crowns, and the
leaf turned up much at the sides, coming to a point
at the front. The carriages were also very numerous.
COURT OF CHANCERY.--!The LORA CHANCELLOR
on Friday delivered his opinion in the matter of .the
petition aud Fross-petitionf respecting the eustody of
the person of Lord AUGHRIM, a lunatic. 1-lis Lord-
ship, with much respect and tenderness to individuals.
took a comprehensive view of the case, in the course
Of which he endeavoured tp do away *opposite
p=assions which had beep conceived ; andj pf copse,.
quence, communicated by the adverse parties, through
the state and agitation of their feelings, from their dif-
ferent considerations of the saute transactions. His
Lordship efpressedhilPiegs4tisfied that all parties were
actuated with the best and most harroqrable
end with a common regard for an object,
equally dear to them. In the present state of things,
as his Lordship observed, there was nothing to in-
doge him to take the care of the person of Lord
Auottaim front the hands in which it was now
Pl4co—rthose of Lady Anonm:4 ; though his Lord-
ship wpuhl order that Lord 4vittozie and hi; Lidr,
and proper medieil assistants, if occasion required
it, should have access to the lunatic, He knew
not Whether the case could haye been altered hy the
affidavits of Professional men; but if parties were not
satisfied with the present decision, his Lprdship would
be ready to receive 414 attend to such affidavit; at
the next Seal.
It is within the ability of even the htinll4eSt Falco-
later tp perceive the great disproportion between the
immensity of gain, 'and the very sMall stake of adven-
turefqr possessing.i chance of obtaining some one of
the numerous Capital Mansions in the City Lottery,
which is now on the eve almost of its determipatior.
That one of these Freeholds only, worth 025,000,
