The important Report of the Med Committee, on
the matters contained In the Tenth Report of the
Commillioners of Naval Enquiry, was yellerday pre-
rented to the Houfe of Commons by Mr. Ls YC svta,
their Chairman. It was ordered to be laid on the
table, and to be printed. Mr. WH IT BR I•D then gave
notice, that, on the firft open day after the Report
was printed, and duly circnlated, it was his intrntion
to move for the Impeachment of Vifcount Met.vtiaa,
and at the fame time to propofe certain Refolutions
refpelling the cor.du!t of the CHANCELLOR of the Ex-
C Qi/ I It.—ThelC notices were liflened to with the
molt profound attention, uninterrupted by a tingle'
fyllable of comment, or of obfervation, as to the time.
Thurfday fe'nnight is the day fixed upon by Mr.
WHITBREAD for making his promifed motions.

We have this day received letters from Gibraltar,
which we lubjoin. Though fome of the particulars
which they detail are not of a very recent date, they
are, neverthelefs, intereffing, as they ferve to fill up
fome chat.= in the regular chain of intelligence.
Several letters which we have ken, fpeak in terms
of great regret, and even ferioos alarm, of the ex.
cetive intemperance of the troops in that garrifon,
which, it will be fccn by the fubjoined letters, bas

ready given tire to fume melancholy fcenes of blood•
flied and murder.

A letter, dated May as, received this day from on
board one of our cruizers off Mend, rays, " We
have been to reconnoitre the pert of Fluthing, where
we found only tiro frigates and two brigs completely
rigged, but their fails not bent, and lying in the har-
bour. At Mend there is nothing that appears like
a man of war. We have learned that in the Teel
there are five line of battle (hips and one corvette
ready for fea, but badly manned, and that two more
line of battle !hips are expeded down to join them."

An overland difpatch from India was received yef-
terdayat the India Houle, brought from the Continent
by the packet with the Hamburgh :nail. The accounts
from Bombay come down to the zoth of January,
and from Madras to the sth of the fame month.
We are happy to announce that it is now the opi.
nion of the Lett informed perfons that the Mahratta
war may be confidered as terminated, by the defeat
of HoLKAR's cavalry by General LA RE, and his in-
fantry by General FRAZt a. It will be remembered,
that Gen. LARS'S difpatch, giving an account of his
attack on the enemy, was not received, though the
fubfequent difpatches proved bow complete the fue-
cefs had been.—General LAKE certainly deferves the
utmolt ci edit for the promptitude and vigour of his
operations. Some of his marches are extraordinary.
In anotbcr part of this paper will be found details
from the India newfpapers of every thing they pre-
fent, of which we had not received accounts before.
Private letters, received by the overland difpatch,
bring the pleating intelligence of the tale arrival of
all the Company's (hips that failed from England, at
the feveral Prefidencies, except the fleet which left
Portfmouth on the 4th of Sept. laft ; but there is no
ground for apprehenfion on account of it, as there
was not tithe for the feveral (hips of which it was
compofed, to reach their refpeelive deflinations.—
The (hips of which it confifled were the Travers,
SANDERS; Union, MACX INTOSH ; Indus, WELDER;
Lord Keith, RAMAGE ; Ocean, *TAGGART Des
vaynes, ADDER LEY ; Harriet, LYNCH ; Huddart,
Earmetb, and Skelton Cattle, NORMAND. The.
Gulf of Perfia being infelled with feveral of the
enemy's privateers, to the great annoyance of our
trade in that quarter, the Cornwallis frigate, of so
guns, in the Company's Service at Boinbay, was dif-
pitched from thence to cruife, for the proteislion
of our trade, between the Gulf and Bombay.
on the sift of Wtober, Admiral Luton arrived
at Poh Bourbon, in the ifland of Mauritius. It was
underd;Asd at Bombay on the isoth January, that Sir
E. PeLLztv was :At Trincomalee, or rather had gone
to cruize off Madras, the Monfoon being over.
There t:ls a report yelterday, that the troops of
the Kit 4 c of CANDY had made a dcfcent on our p..
fi Lions in Ceylon, and made a confiderable impreffion
apnn them, but we believe there is no foundation
whatever fur the Rory.

In the preceding columns we have given extrads
from Paris journals to the zoth, and Dutch papers
to the 25th intl., which came to hand lafl night. The
molt important article is the letter, dated Cadiz, the
3oth ult. from the Moldiest. ; for from this letter it
plainly appears, that the fleet had never returned again
after quitting that porton the loth of the fame month.
BONAPARTE was at Milan on the t ith inflant, and
pas prefented, amidit great pomp, by the Pruflian
Ambairador, with the Orders of the Red and Black
Eagles. His Imperial Majefly wore them at the Re-
view, and at the Theatre in the evening.
Thefe papers contain a demi-official report of the
operations of the Rochefort fquadron. We are happy
to find that by their flatement of damage done to
us, it does not exceed what we have already been
apprized of.

It is with much concern we have to announce the
capture of pan of the outward-bound Newfoundland
convoy. The particulars which have come to our
knowledge are as follow :

" I am concerned to Inform yen, that the Newfoundland Beet.

foundland on the 3oth ultimo, were captured on the 13th luftant,
about feventy leagues weltward of Cape Clear, by the French na-
tional corvette Sylph, of eighteen guns. The corvette,after taking

The Young William, Storey, from Cork to ieftport; Margaret,
Chapel; and Hunter, Stevens, belonging to Arbroath; and the
Bowman, Prieftman„ of Workington. The Captain of the cor-
vette intended to burn the Friends, and put the different crews and
pairengers on board the Good Intent ; but three of the boats being
hove, and • gale fpringing up, prevented him. Soon after the
Friends loft Gght of the corvette, the fell in with his Majelly's
frigate Totraze, with a Span& hoop of war, of 21 guns (prize), in
company, who immediately went in purfuit Of the Frenchman, and
there I. every probability of their being fucceMul. The Captain
of the corvette behaved remarkably well to all his prifonen."

A melancholy accident happened on Friday laft.
Mr. Foote, the Brnker, and his Sitler, went below
Gravefend on a failing party, w.ien a hidden fqtrall
of wind upfet the boat ; the confequence was, that
Mt. Foote and a waterman were drowned. and it
was with difficulty that the Lady was raved. The
body of Mr. Foote has not.yet bceu fodud.
