MARQUIS WELLESLEY.

(No. XIII )

Inflead of the fAfhionable charge of peculation,
•he prettier founding word, oflentation, is brought
forward againft Marquis WELLESLEY, as better cal-
culated to deceive my countrymen ; and under this
head Hands foremoll, the body guard of the Gover•
nor General of Britifts India.

At the commencement of the Sill Myfore cam-
paign, under the late Marquis Cornwallis, a crack
regiment of native cavalry was fent from Bengal to
Madras, which an Officer now in high rank in Ire-
land was directed to infpeet, who firblequently re-
ported to his Lordfhip, 4. There are men and horfes,
but I'll be d—d if there is any cavalry."
In neatly a timilar Bate was the body gua,l:l of the
Govetnor General on the arrival of Marquis WEL-
LESLEY in India, or rather it might be compared to
a game called the Devil among the tailors ; for if
one man was difmounted, the look honk inflantly
attacked the others, and thus it was uncommon
fight to fee the troopers flying about in all direCtions,
leaving the Governor and his Secretary to the mercy
of holies, who, from being rettive, are nct fo manage
able as in this country. . .

After the fnccefstul termination of the Myfore
war, Marquis WELLESLEY. as •Captain General, did
ace' rdingly order two troops of native cavalry
from Madras, to form his own body guard in Ben-
gal, precifely in the fame manner as his Royal High.
nefs the Duke of York, if in Ireland, might with to
have men from any regiment in England, for his
own perfonal body guard.
When the Marhattah States had compelled the
Britifh Government in India to retort to arms, it ssas
deemed expedient by the Governor General in Coun
cil, to increafe the number of the nominal body
guard, to check any fudden irruption of the enemy's
horfe into the fertile province of Burdwan, which
is fituated acrofs the river to Calcutta, as the
countrnf
.Sutrey. is to Londor. Dining every pre.
ceding Mathattah war, not only the province above
need was laid walle, but' many of the inhabitants
now living recollelt, the deep ditch being dug
round the boundaries of the town of Calcutta, to
check there alert and erratic warriors, from furpri-
ling and plundering even the fuburbs of the city.
If the Mat hattahs had entered the lower provinces
of Bengal, as was generally expelled by thole unac-
qnainted with the admirable difpofition made by
Marquis Ws er.rst.er of the military force at his
difpolal, with the exception of the body guard,
there was not a tingle troop of cavalry within fix
hundred miles of the Prefidency, and confequeatly if
the body guard had not been increafed, from the ce-
lerity of the Mathattah cavalry, they might with
teat eafe have overrun the country, and retired with
their plunder, before it was potEble for the cavalry
to arrive from the upper part of Hindottan, even
admitting their Cervices could have beet difpenfed
with in the grand army.
When by the political wifelnm of Marquis Wst.•
LFSLSy,the Bengal provinces "tete fectired from any
hidden attack, intlead of keeping the truly guard in
Calcutta for oflentation, as is generally Cuppored,
two troops, confifling of 84 men and hones, were
fist from the Prefidency to Cuttack, to alit in
wreßing from the enemy that valuable province,
where they proved of the moil effential fervice, and
fubfequently the greater part were on duty in Bun-
dlecund, where their merit was duly appreciated by
Lord Lake. _ _

The very improved Rate of the native cavalry on
the Bengal Eitablithment, and within the laft ten
years, is genially admitted. A more dathing, gal.
lant, and attentive fee of Officers to"their duty,
joined to a proper pride of teeing the troops under
their command in high order, is not to be found in
any part of thr world, as a reference to the orders
of General Lord Lake clearly thew, from whom the
Officers coped a recommendation to the Court of
Dire/tors, to increafe the pay r f the native troopers
in the fame ratio as the cavalry and infantry oft the
Madras Ellablithment, which will naturally induce
the t atives of a better fort to enter fr.r the cavalry,
inttead of their preferring the infantry, as at prefent.

MIST INDIES.

KINGSTON, (JAMAICA) SEPTEMBER s.

On Tuefday afternoon a heavy fall of rain came
on in this city and neighbourhood, which continued
with Tome intermiGion until Thnrfday night, when it
became more violent and ineeffant. Very early yet
terdsy morning, it was accompanied f fame time
with the moil awful and tremendous peals of thun-
der and vivid flaffies of lightning, by which we fear
much mifehief may have been done befides what has
already come to our knowledge. At a quarter before
four o'clock, the fonth•eaft corner of the can wing
of the foldiers' barracks, in this city, was Ilruck by
the lightning,' which Ihattered the roof, rent the
walls, and fh.sok the whole building with fuch vio
lenee that the foldiers on duty were thrown off the
guard bed ; a tankard of block tin wa• alto perfo-
rated in a number of places, as if it had been fhot
through with ball ; providentially no lives were 1011.
About the fame time, the drogging Hoop Adive,
James BUSHMAN mailer, ITing in this harbour, was
alto (truck by the lightning, which Ihivered her top-
mail to atoms, and fplit the main mall to within
four or five feet of the deck. The (hock was fit revere
as to alarm the people on board very confiderably,
who, fearing that it had penetrated through her bot-
tom, inflantly rigged the pumps, but fortunately
found the hull and cargo fate. One of the people
was infenfible fir fome time after he was (truck, but
has fence recovered. Captain BUSHMAN will be ob-
liged to re laud part of his cargo, to replace his
mail.

A &hoover lying near the Aelive, was alto (truck
with the lightning, but we have not learned whether
(he funained any injury. A negro boy, who had been
(truck with the lightning, was found dead yeflerday
morning, on board a velfel alongfide the hulks at
the call end. The rain abated in Come degree about
fix o'clock yefierday morning, but commenced again,
accompanied for Come time with thunder and light-
ning, between eight and nine o'clock, and continued
until four in the afternoon, when it ceafed.
The Veteran, of 64. guns, Capt. EVANS, arrived
on Ttiefday from a cruize, fall from New Providence,
with the following prizes, captured by her boats in
the Gulph of Florida, viz.
The Spaniffi (hip la Flecha, of 8 guns, from the
Havannah, bound to Caraccas, laden with tobacco,
brandy, gin, dry goods, and other articles, taken
on the 24th of July, after (he had thrown her guns
overboard; and the Spani(h brigs El Carmen, of
two 18 and two I z•pounders, and so men ; and Int•
bella, of one t 2 and two 6-pounders, and 21 men,
both with cargoes of dry goods, brandy, wine, fugar,
&c. from the Havannah, bound to Campechy, taken
on the srh Atigufl.
The Veteran alfo captured, on the 31f1 of
_PK,
the Spanifh felucca Atraveido, (1 two guns and 13
men, which the dellroyed after taking nut her cargo,
confißing of cochineal, indigo, fugar, cocoa, jalap,
vanilla, and arnatto.
Two men were wounded in the Veteran's boat, one
of them dangernufly.
The Ferret brig, of IS guns, Capt. Liorsoc K, failed
on Sunday on a cruizr.
SEPT. t2.—On Thurfday afternoon lan week,
about two o'clock, the barracks and buildings at Fort
Anvils', received confiderable injury by a whirl.
wind, which, before it approached to the fort, was
nbferved to carry with it or delirny every thing that
came within ita rca;:h. The whole of the officers' old
barrack was unroofed ; the back, or fouth well part
completely demoliffied, and the other walls rent in
feveral places ; the guardhoufe chattered and re-
moved from its lituation ; feveral of the out offices
deflrnyed, and the privy on. the lea (hare, with other
finall buildings, entirely carried away. Nothing of
the booth welt part of the barrack is left but the floor.
Happily no lives were 1011. The heavy and inceirrnt
rain the fame. night nearly Pverfl ,wed the apart•
ments of the officers, which have been by this viiita-
film of PROVIDENCE espofed to the inclemency of the
weather. In addition to the damage mentioned in
our tall to have been futlained by the lightning on
Friday morning, we have to mention, that the lodg
ing Ironic of Mifs Graham, in Upper Pr inces-fireet,
received eonfiderahle damage, and that four large
mirrors, feveral (bade', and all the glafs ware in the
houfe, were demoliihed. The Roe Guinearnan, ly.
ing in the liar, brinr, was alf • (frock with it, her deck
very much injured, and her fails reduced to fhreds,
&c. and the (now Yni k had her main mall fplit. The
mall of a Spaniflk fchnoner was likewife Bruck, and
the iron hoops by which it was hound forced off;
and a (bong iron bolt broken. It alio burl the
pump of the fame veal below the deck, the part
above remaining unhurt.
The ,St. gage de Ia Vega Gazette, of the sill inflant,
Rates, that the rains bave been equally as heavy and
inceffint in the neighbouihond of Spanifh Town as
they were in this city, but that or) other damage, as
is known, has as yet been, futlainid than the roads,
patipicularly in the mountains, being feverely cut up
and injured.' and_ feveral pens at Saltironds having

tail from Antigua, they engaged a French privateer
fchooner Ia Vengeance, which they beat off, and had
not night come on would have deßruyed her. The'
following particulars are taken horn the log book of ,
the Hannah :

" At three P. M. of the 28:11, faw a fail (landing
towards us. She proved to be an enemy, as fbe
neared us : both veffels hove to ; we made all clear
for action, and gave her a broadlide, then wore thip,
and gave her another on the larboard, which carried
away the enemy's bowfprit and foreman, but night
coming on prevented us from dettroying her. Nest
day, at meridian, (poke the Diana, and was informed
that Captain Lewis and fix of his people were fe•
verely wounded, and that they had on board four
men belonging to the privateer, who ftated that a
great number of her crew were wounded, and that
the was called la Vengeance, mounting twelve t -
pound carronades, with erne hundred men, 2nd com-
manded by a perfon of the name of Bligh : fhe be-
longed to Guadeloupe, out two months,and had not
taken any thing."
La Vengeance attempted to board the Diana, but
was repulfed with confiderable 1011, and the four
men above mentioned made prifoners.

Some finettlar rumours were circulated yefierday
afternoon, on the authori.y of letters received by the
Li(bnn Mail. One of thefe fired that a rumour
prevailed at L;flyrn, that the KING of SPAIN was
dead, fuppnfed to have been Vied by poifon—that the
Prince of Arruatas was imprifJned—and that a
provifional Government was formed, at the head of
which the QysiN was nominally placed, but that the,
PRINCE OF THE Peace was the efficient direftor.—
We cannot afcertain the truth of this Itatement. It
was confidered as receiving tome fanCtion from the
circumliance of a Courier having arrived at Lifbon
on the isrh, wh. fe difpatches were under flood to be,
of a very dif:nal nature.
Letters from Madrid of tke Sth ult. Rate, that a
Marifeflo or Proclamation had been iffuecl, by the
Spanifh Gvve-nment, commanding the people of
Spain to receive the troops of France into the Spa
nifh dominions, as brothers and friends, and to af-
ford them all neceffary affiftance and proteftion.—
It is alfo Rated, that an infurrellion had broken out
at Madrid in the beginning of October, in confequence
of the unpopulat y of
,the proceedings againfi For.
tugal, and that it had proceeded to great lengths.—
We cannot vouch the truth of this report, but it is
certain that it bad reached Oporto on the t 3th of
OCtober.
The popular feeling throughout Spain appears to
hive been highly gratified by the recapture of Buenos
Ayre.; which the moR 'dialing among the Spanifh
politicians fcemcd to think loft to their country for
ever.

Though the Gatfcnmbe, which brought the Lifbnn
Mail, failed on the isth, meant had been found to
convey on board of her different letters of the r 6th.
The f Bowing is the fubtlance of one of them :
" Sit ce the departure of the Spanifh and French
Ambaffadors from the Court of Portugal, no flep
has been publicly taken to forward the defigns of
the Court, except in the manning and equipment of
the fleet in the Tagus, which fence the arrival of
QUINTELLA'S fquadron from the Mediterranean,
amounted to nine fail of the line, betides ft ;gates
No anfwer had been received from France to the
communication made by the French Charge des Af-
faires, after he had obtained his pall-port ; this was
expelled to arrive in the end of Odlober, until then
the determinati tn of tl.e Prince Regent was to be
fulpetided ; but in the event of French troops ap-
proaching the Portuguefe frontiers, it had been finally
deter mined, that inch fhould be the fignal for the cm
barkation of the Prince and his Court. At all events,
the young Prince Ds Balsa is to proceed to the
Brazils, whofe fuite has been appointed, and their
various Rations announced. He is to fail in the
Portuguefe fhip Medufa, of 74 guns ; and his failing
was only delayed to afford his Royal Father an op-
portunity to decide 00 the neeeffity of his accompa-

'tying him. It faid that the Plinceti had refuted
to go to-the Brazils, and had preferred the option of
retiring into Spain.

44 The Britith Fadory had been formally di(folved,
and liberal prefcnts had been made to their Chaplain,
and all old and faithful fervants. They, as well 31
all other Nita refidents, were making every prepa-
ration f)r a voyage to England ; and, althougb it
appears that the homeward bound fleet confab of 50
fail of veflels, including the Swedes and Americans
which have been c4arte• cd by the Factory, flill there
is a great want of (hipping, and the arrival of sad!'
from England is anaioufly looked for and wetted."

Yeflerday being the Anniver Cary ofthe dircovery of

On Tuefday, the pound weight, nfed at the Houfe

provifions to the prifoners, was compared with the
itindard pound weight, by Mr. Sheriff PHILLIP 3. at
Guildhall, in the pretence of the Foreman and feveral
Members of the Gi and Jot y fur Middlefex ; when it
was found to be upwards of three quarters of an ounce

The Difrrounted City Light Horfe had a grand
field exercife on Tuefday, aimed as Light Comp-
nits, in which they acquitted themfelves with their
ufual preciflon and agility.
By a letter from Monte Video, per the Rolla, we
find, that the officer of the gth Light Dragaons, who
was wounded at the attack on Buenos Ayres, was
Lieutenant Colossi/au., fon to Major CORNWALL, of

as mentioned in the G.tzette Extraordinary.

particularly fortunate, however, in his delivery of a
