We have pleafure in announcing the capture of'

according to our letters from i'ortfmouth, have ar-
rived at that place.

From the tenor of our letters from Dublin, we

Correfpondent's letter will we hope have the effea to
prevent the public from being impact' upon.

The Gazette of !aft night contains a copy of the
lall difpatches received from Admiral DUCKWOR rm,
Commander in Chief on the Jamaica Ration ; but
they are not of a date fufficiently recent to notice the
circumftance of the evacuation of St. Domingo by
the French troops. By the row York pare' sto the
3oth December, we have however received a confir-
mation of this important Wt. One of them contains
the following intelligence relative to St. Domingo :

What we feared refpeaing the war in Candy, ap-
pears to have been in fome degree realised. The
war in that quarter has by no means been fuccefsful,
and reinforcements will in confequenee be required
for the army it Ceylon. . _

The prefent accounts _alio bring fome important
particulars refpeeting the war wlth the Main attas.—
It appears that General Watt's:. s v has proceeded
with great vigour in his operations agaialt. Seindes,
and has taken one of his principal fortreffes, called
Alemadnaghur, by efealade. The particulars of.
our lofs arc not mentioned ; but as the attack was
continued for three days, it ma have been confider•
able. Captain Hu ea eta stow and Lieutenant AMDSIL-
sou, of the 78th, were killed. This regiment. the
74th; and a battalion of native feapoys, particularly
difinguilbed themfelves .in forming the place.—
Scindea was clofely purfued. It appears that the
Bengal army under General Lass, was alto in mo-
tion to affift chars:olW army. We fufpeit that too
fanguine hopes are entertained of a fpeedy termina.
tion of the comet. The Mahrattas are perhaps the
molt warlike people in India. They will give us a
great deal of employment.
An important place. Baroaeli, In abs Guzzerat,
has been taken by the Bombay troops. Capt. Tsm-
ems, of the 84th, was killed. Further particulars
had not tranfpired. •
It is impotable for us at prefent to give any opi-
nion of the policy or necelfity of the War in the
Mahratta States. The prefent effeift of it, however.
will be to create large demands on the Company'
for the fupport of the Wart and it is natural to
wed that we (hall fee in this cafe what has fo often
happened before, that funds defined for commercial
objets will be diverted to fupport warlike operations.
It is not known what has become of Liao ss. He
arrived in Madras Roads on the Bath July. We have
!ince heard that he returned to the Mauritius.

A Letter from Dungenefs Ckateh that on Saturday
a cutter came in there with information that tpo of
the enemy's gun-boars had put out of Boulogne. The
weather was at this time very tempefitions. We are
inclined to think that this report was merely an ex-
aggeration of the numbers or a detachment entering
Coulogne Irom finite other port, or perhaps the ene-
my had come out cn an tier-erring party. Indeed
the weather h.o nor been loch as to invite the attempt.
and nothing farther has been heard of this movement.
