EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM LISBON, DATED
JULY 21, 18ot.

" I wrote you this day fc'nnight, per KING
GEORGE packet, fence then M. PINTO is arrived.
It is now given out that peace witb France is not
yet figned—this is a rt../ de guerre, and in the courfe
of a fortnight this will be explained. I know the
reafons why fuch a rumour is fpread, and as loon
as it is proper to he made public, I will take the
earlieft opportunity to inform you of it. The com-
munication with Spain is now open as in time of
peace.

" I fend you the following extrad of a letter
from Surat, dated January 20, 18ot, to a rcfpec-
table Gentleman at Lifbon, received 4th July, per
the Balevemons Eaft India trader from that place :
Now a word or two upon politics. We are all
in a brittle. The Gemmen belonging to Bombay
arm in the defence of the Indies, have now made
their appearance ; they are Riled the Bombay
Armed Affociation, who are to do garrifon duty
in abfence of the European troops, who are about
leaving us on the three different expeditions, which
are fitting out from both fides the Peninfula.—
The grand one from Bengal confifts of 6000 Eu-
ropeans, from Madras 2500, and from Bombay the
68th Regiment, about 670 men. They all alfem-
bled at Madras, and have now failed, it is fuppof
ed againß the Mauritius or Batavia, but is gene-
rally believed againß the Mauritius. The Com-
mander in Chief is General CLARKE. Admiral
BLANKET failed on Chrillmas Eve, in the LEOPARD,
of so guns ; Fox, of 32 ; and fome tranfports for
the Red Sea, having 450 European infantry and
artillery on hoard. The third expedition (the ob-
jet of which is unknown), is nearly ready at Born-
hay, confining of Soo Europeans, infantry and ca-
valry, 1500 Sepoys, 2000 bullocks, and eight
months provifions and water; and under the com-
mand of Colonel LITTLE. Things look very bad
here for the EaR India Company, notwithffanding
II the conquered Myfore, and which is far from
being in a Rate of tranquillity—indeed, the Mala-
bar coati is all in a blaze. The PYCHE RAJA is
cutting off our troops by piece meal. Howeve,
Colonel ‘Vi ILE SLEY is marching againß the Wy-
nad, and will no doubt conquer it. Yea have heard,
I flippore, of the death of DOONDIA and the anni-
hilation of his army. A (mall fquadron, confin-
ing of the CENTURION, of so guns, and three fri.
Gates, has (wept Batavia Roads, and taken poll-el--
Lon of Onroott and Cowper's Hand, and fil'c
French privateers, which were a great annoyance
to our trade in this past of the world, &c. &c."
