PARIS, APRIL 9.

At a meeting of the Privy Council, his Imperial
Majefly granted letters of pardon to Jean Pierre,
Laurens Jofeph Boyer, and Henry Bruno Pierre
natives and inhabitants of Cadres, condemned on
the tft Germinal in the year five, by the judgment of
the Tribunal of Criminal Juftice of the Upper Qat.-
ronne, to the punithment of tranfportation, as ac-
complices in .a confpiracy againft the Rate of the Re-
public. There individuals were tranfported to the
Ifle of Rhe.

The pt efent Rate of this immenfe capital furnifhes
ample matter for imprtant obfervations on the pub-
1k fpitit and general Rate of the French Empire.-r-
The pretence of the Emperor Na 'mann teemed
lately to diffufe pleafure and happinefs in the place
of his refidence. He was looked upon as the foul
of this great political body. The enemiesof France
far from feeing in this a fuhjea for pride and fecurity
to the nation, have concluded that Fiance is nothing
without the hero who govern; it, and if he, for one,
abandoned the reins of Government, it would fall
into focial diffolation, far more fatal than that from ,
which he relieved it on his return from Egypt. ft
is for this reacun, no doubt, that they have mixed fo
much acrimony in this war of libels and inveCl:ves ;
it is for this alto that they lavith fo much money" to
pay mercenary writers, and contrive to many atro-
cions and ufelcfs intrigues. There is, however, one
(hiking contradiaion between their inveitives and the
importance which they have attached to the moll
trifling aaions of the French Government. The
events have proved that its Chief is not lefs powerful
by the affeaions and confidence he has infpired 'in his
people, and by the fyftem which he has eredled on
fuch an immoveable foundation, than by the genioa
which teems, even in his abfence, perfonally to pre-
fide in his Councils. The fame fpirit direas them, the
fame band (till teems to hold the helm of Govern-
ment. This abfence, independent of its important
objeifl, reveals to Europe the folid ftrength of our po-
litical world, and anfwers better than volumes could
do, the fyllematic calumnies which the Englifb Mi-
flitter' continually procure to have printed and circu-
lated amongft the public, to turn the attention from
the impotency of the methods which they employ,
and the general fufpicion which they infpire
What an affeaing fight was continually prefented
to our eyes during the time of his Holinefs's flay at
Paris, in the religious anxiety of the people to go to
thofe places which he honmired by his pretence, and
prefs round him with fentirnents of love and Tepee,
infpired as much by his perfonal virtues as by the
fplendour of his dignity. The fame energy was ma-
nifelled to receive Isis latt benediaions on his depar-
ture. • This fentimentwas not that Pimple curiofity
which is always infpired by the prefence of dittin•
guithed perfonages. The Sovereign Pontiff had vi-
lited thi greater number of the parithes, and per-
formed in each 'chapel the ceremonies they revelled
of him. His pce has been in a manner open to
all claffes. and it was not the pomp which accompa-
nied the Sovereigns which the inhabitants preffed its
crowds to admire. If the regrets, and the convincing
proofs of elleem which this virtuous Pontiff carries
with him, give an high ilex of his charaCter, they at
the fame time offer the molt jult and favourable opi-
nion of a people whole morality and religion have
been fo ffrongly difputed by Englillt writers.—clef du

A letter from Frankfort of the 27th ult. lays—
" Every winter pallis in expeaatiOn of events, which
the finenefs of the teatons, and political conjeaures,
were to bting about. But, for the laR three or four
years? our politicians fpeak in vain of a ruptgre, or of
the rnaraing of the armies. Although a ;terra and
decided clrdiality does not prevail between the pow.
ers of Europe, it however appears very certain, that
our peace will not be ditturbed this year, at leaft no-
thing threatens it ; and it has been obferved that,
during a long time pail at the farrie period of the
year, ;here never were feed fo few troops in motion.
They ate, for the prefent,-content 'agilely to alert.
that a veteran army is ambling on the frontiers of
Gallicia. During two years, which, according to
public reports. the troops have accumulated in this
place, their numbers, by this time, ought to be very
great. It is a year fine; Courland was the pretended
theatre of a prodigiuul force. It is not' at all far-
prifing that the provinces fo recently added to our
empire, into which policy has fent to many troops,
tbuuld be in a Rate of ferment and conjecture ; fur
a regiment going into it to take up its quarters, ap-
pears a large army to thole who are at the dillance of
one hundred leacoei. On whatever fide we turn our
eyes, we fee no tymptoms but of peace, and if any
Cabinet is projeaing war, they fet about it with won-
desous my fiery. We may boldly regard as fineffe the
collettion of Ruffian troops ; if Sweden menaced
France, it knot with fuch preparative. ; •belides, it
would be nert to nothing, Co long as her• neighbour
Denmark appears to polka fuch very pacific fenti+
meow. Pruffia has not changed her fyftem finee the
peace ; if Außria has changed any thingin hers, it
is to become more the friend of France'; Turkey ap-
pears fubfervient to the influence of Rnflia '; but, be-
' tides that, the has too many atTairs at home to occupy
herfelf abroad in an aftive manner : all other Rates
are, from various curiderations, allies of France."

HONOUILABLS SIRS,
I. In addition to the information communicated
in our left overland difpatch, on the Cohjeft of the
events of the war with Jefwunt Row HoLkar, we take
this occafion to report, that we have fince heen ad-
vifed of an attack made by a divifion of Holkar's
infantry and artillery on the city of Delhi, on the
sth ult. Lieutenant-Colonel BURN, the officer in
command of the Britith troops at that nation, report-
ing that, during the whole of that day, the enemy
continued a very heavy cannonade ; and that on toe
gth they advanced and ereded a four-gun battery,
very near to the South-Eaa baftion of the city wall,
where their (hot had great effed. To check their pro-
grefs in that quarter, a fortie was determined on ; the
party employed confilling of about 550 men, under
the command of Lieutenant Ross, of which number
(f y, with a fix-pounder, compofed the receive un-
der Lieutenant DICKSON. The whole are Rated to
have been fpeedili and well concluded to the enemy's
battery. and to have foon got poffellion of their guns
and (piked them ; the party then returning under a
heavy difcharge of flint and grape. Lieutenant
Rose, who led the detachment, and the whole of the
Officers, are reported to have executed that duty to
the entire fatisfallion of Lieutenant• Colonel BuRN,
who alto mentions, in fapourable terms, Captain
Cammects and Lieutenant WOODVILLE, of Captain
HARLIOTT'S battalion, and Lieutenants Evans,
Heayscore, and LOCKETT, of the zd battalion
tath regiment, befides fome others, whole names he
adyerts to as having been reported to the Comma-
der in Chief in a former difpatch, which has not
reached us.
a. On the ;4th the enemy attempted an affault
on the town of Delhi, but were repulfed with moil-
derable lofs. The details of the affault had not been
received up to the date of our late advice% from Cal-
cutta ; but in a difpatch from the Commander in
Chief to his Excellency the Governor General, he
thus adveits to the fpirit and &allantry of the troops
at Delhi : The meritorious condud of our
troops, on both of the above mentioned occafions,
races on their courage and perfeverance the high-
eft credit. My letter from Lieutenant Colonel MICH.
TKRLONT, the Afting ftefident, fpeaks in the higheft
terms of the conduit of the troops under his orders. I
beg to affure your Excellency, that the arrangements
made by that Officer merit my warmeß praife and
approbation ; on which I (hall haye the honour more
fully to report hereafter."
3. Official advicei have been received at Fort Wil-
liam, in a letter from the COmmarider in Chief, dated
Sicrie, the 16th of Odoher, Rating, that the troops
of Jefwunt Row Ifolkar had made a precipitate re-
treat, on the morning of the 15th, from their pfi-
tion near the town of Delhi.
4... Since taking poffdlion of Chandore, Dhonrp,
and Caine, the force employed in the Eteckan, under
the command of Lieutenant Colonel WALLACE, has
been advancing to'ward's the river Taptie. Accord-
ing to the litchi accounts from that officer, a party of
the Pefhwa's troops detached from Galna had taken
poffeffion of the town of Nunderbar, and of the
greater part of that dißrift, without meeting with
any oppofition. As loon as the Pefhwa's Officers
Ihould be in poffeflion °lithe track WeR of his poll-
lion on the river Panja, and South of the Taptie,
Lieutenant-Colonel Wattage intended to move to
Borenair. Holkar's Retainers in Candeifh appear
now to be reduced to two or three ineonfider*ble
Chiefs, with but few followers. • •

Bombay Cagle, Nov. 26,1504.

In addition to the official account in the above Gazette, of Hol-
kar's attack upon Delhi, we fubjoin the following egtradt of an
authentic letter from that quarter, which contains more detailed
intelligence of the movements of that powerful Chieftain, and
the ftate of our poffeffions in India, than any which has ban as
yet publlked :
" BOMBAY, Nov. z4.—Since my laft, ley the A NT s-
tore, we have been on the tiptoe of expectation : we
have been daily looking forward to accounts decifive
of the campaign with HOLKAR j but I am truly lorry
to fay that from the mode of warfare which he has
adopted, hide doubt can be entertained of its being
much prolonged. His movements are fo rapid—
fometimes 6o miles in the day—that it is impoffible
for our army to keep pace with him. It was fuppof-
ed that his fuccefs againft Mowsox would have em-
boldened him to rifk a general attion ; bitt military
men here teem to give him credit, not only for pof-
feffing a great deal too much wifJom and experience
to expofe himfelf to fuch certain ruin, Isut for having
in the prefent inflance, outwitted the General, by
drawing him up fo far as Delhi after him, to facili-
tate the movement he is Paid to intend, of vifiting the
rich provinces of Oude and Benares. He, however,
failed in the attempt he made on Delhi, before which
place he was for (even days, cannonading it ; but on
the approach of Lau, he gave up the plan, and at-
tacked LA IC t'S baggage, where he 101 l 2000 of his
bode. This is the fall intelligence from that army,
and it is molt fincerely to be hoped that fpeedy foc-
cefs may, from Come circumftance or other, attend
us. Much depends on the fate of this contell, pro-
bably no leis than that of very great portion of our
conquefts, and almoft every thit.g which regards the
credit of the Company, 'which at prefent Items, in
the opinion of the Shroffs at all the Prefidencies, and,
if report is to. be believed, of all the great men of
India, to Rand upon tickliffi grounds.
Thofe circumftances and apprehenfions are, per-
haps, exaggerated ; but there is great reafon, confi-
dering the very high hand with which lately we have
carried every thing, to fuppofe that the faith of our
allies, particularly that ot Scindia, cannot be much
calculated on, certainly no longer than the tide of
fuccefs runs in our favour. As a fort of proof of the
opinions of the natives, I have only to mention the
neceffity the Marquis has been under, of opening a
Loa* at par, being a fall of 2 per cent. at once.—
.When GCRYZAI W L SL Is left this, it was funofed

he was ping to take the ccmmand of the army. Mu,
Rlv has moved from Ougene ; but where he is at pre-
fent is not known. It is very generally believed,
ever, that he is to join LAKE, and that there is a great
chance of his falling in with HOLKAR before the junc-
tion ;he has not any regular cavalry. WALLACE'S
detachment has taken Galna."
A very great Mop!a merchant in Malabar, 'has
been put in confinement, on fufpicion of having con-
tributed to excite the late rebellion in that coun-
try. If he fhould be convieled, his property, confitt-
ing of upwards of twel7e hundred and fifty thoufard
poupds, will be confitcated to the Company.

Yeflerday Difpatches were received at the Adrol-
ralty from Lord GARDYFR, dated the tith
Uthant, Rating that 14 fail of the Line had got undet
weigh in Breft Harbour; and it was the opinion
of his Lordfhip that the enemy intended to put to fea
the firß favourable opportunity. Should this event
take place, we have no doubt that the Bsitifh tars.
who have never yet deceived the public expeaation.
will add one mote brilliant vi Cory to the many
which already diffufe fo fplendid a luftre on tl•4t
annals of the Britilh Navy.

The accounts which we yefterday mentioned to
have been received from India, appeared in the Ga-
zette of laff night. They do net Teem to us to be
fo infignikant as Come of our contemporaries view
them? nor, on the other hand, fo favourable as others
confider them. On the Bth of Ofloher, a body of
Holkar's forces made an attack on Delhi, but was
repulfed. On the 14th he attempted take the place
by affault, but was repulfed with confiderable lots ;
and on the 15th he retreated precipitately. Frond
this it appears, on the one hand, that we had not
at that time been able to bring any formidable forte
againft Holkar ; and en the other, that he had not
been able to rpinforce himfelf fufficiently to enable
him to hazard a longer flay in that quarter. Indeed,
his lives of inducing tome of the native princes to
join him teem to have retied on the fuccefs he prof
mifed himfelf in the above attack; in which failing,
he thought it prudent not to hazard a longer Ray.
The troops of the Peihwa appear on this occafion to
have lent to ours a very effeetual co-operation ; and
Holkar's retainzrs in Candeith are now Rated to be
reduced to two o; three inconfiderable Chiefs, with
but few followers.

Nothing is laid of Colonel MURRAY'S divifion, and
Co far down as the 26th of November it does not ap,
pear that our affairs were completely retrieved.

The Danifb fhip Kronprinceffes C. N. BRINCK,
feven months from Bengal, is arrived at Dover, and
landed C. Hotsr and two other pailingers. They
touched at the Cape, which they left the sth of Fe-
bruary ; two large French privateers arrived there
the day before they failed, and brought word that a
French Beet might be expeted every day.
Our Falmouth letter on Monday, fluted the cap-
ture and death of the enterprifing Capt. GOODALL,
of the Wellmorland privateer, of Liverpool. He was
hufband to Mrs. GOODALL, formerly of Drury-lane
Theatre. Captain G. efcaped from France fence the
commencement of the prefent War, and got to Eng-
land by fwimming acrofs the Rhine; he has left a
large family to deplore his lofs.

who died on Saturday Jail, "wa► taken ill hi the Houfe

his friends preffed him repeatedly to go home and
fend for medical affiftance, which he pofitively re•
fufed, and to this his death is entirely attributed.
