Difpatches have been received from Admiral CORN.
waws, which, we are concerned to Rate, announce
the lots of his Majefty's fhip MAC Nil? iC 61114 com•
minded by Captain flay's. She was one of the in-
(bore fqnadron, and in an attempt to cut off one of
the enemy's tranfports, which appeared to be very
heavily laden, fhe ftruck on a funken rock. We have
the confolation, however, to learn, that none of her
gallant crew were 1011. Our letters from Plymouth
Rate, that they are all on board the fleet : we are
lorry, however, to fay, that at the Admiralty it is
reported, they are all prifoners.
Six of the enemy's gun vac's were difeovered by
the }lrma frigate, on the ifith ult. attempting to
come round' Cape La Hogue. The frigate imme-
diately gave chafe, and drove them into Blainville,
where they were all loft in the gale of the 22d, and
the crews of two of them perifhed. Two other gun.
brigs are alto within the rocks near Gouree, totally
difmafted. In addition to this intelligence, we have
the fatisfaeion to Rate, that on the 24th ult. the
Meacvay drove on (bore, off Piron, four gun brigs
and two armed lugger., which were Realing along
fhore.

The Gazette of Saturday night contains difpatchel
from India, with the details of the captor* ni Ahmed-
nagur, and likewife of the operations in the Guzerat,
the fubtlance of which was known, but of which the
details had not been publifbed. We alfo infert on this
fubjeel fome private letters, containing a few parti.
culars worthy of notice. '

The great objet of interea at prefent is the Rate
of General WELLESLEY'S army, and the campaign
againfl SCINDIA. Some of the private letters give
accounts of the operations of the army for feveral days
after the anion of the 23d. On the 28th, General
WELLESLEY having been joined by the divifion of Co-
1011YI STEVEN SON. compored of the NI2 ANN fubfidiary
forces, moved on in purfuit of the enemy, who conti-
nued to retreat with great precipitation to the flrong
'mires in the neighbourhood.
The battle of the 23d September was one of the
hardell ever fought in India, and indeed, if we cona-
der that out cf about esco men which were brought
into the field, and among which were only about 8 or
900 Europeans, nearly one half were killed or wound-
ed, it mull be admitted that few battles, either in
ancient or modern times, either in Europe or India,
have been more warmly contelted. It is raid that the
enrny had 40,0c0 men, amor•.g whom were many
Fiench and German officers. The Mahrattas, it is
Paid, had t too killed, and more than twice that nnm•
her wounded. We are inclined to think it muR have
been much more, or the lots of our vietory bears rio
proportion to that of their defeat.

At one period during the engagement the Mahratta
cavalry are laid to have rallied, and to have made fo
vigorous a charge, as not only to recover the ninety
p'sces of cannon tl.at had been loft, but to take 4
nurnScr of ours, and the adr.intage remained in their
hands for above ten minutes. Jr was in this Ctit;CA
moment that Colcribl !thaws!. t. led on the tyth Dra•
goon., and decided the bsttle in our favour. Colonel
Maass' it was kill-.d by a cannon ball, juil as he had
atchieved this important fervice. Though he has not
fur %Hcd to enjtNy the reputation and the glory of his
exertions, tl!ey will in 'he memory of his -.nun•
tee, -n:1 he recompeuied by t:.c only marks of grati-
tude hf which they ale now caps It.
