MADRAS MARCH 101.

By the ship Wry, wh.ch arrived in the River on
Friday I:ra, from i'rince of Wales' Island, dispatches
for the Supreme Government were brought from the
Eastward, (Ind, r charge of Mr. Scott, of the Penang
establishment. By the same conveyance private let.
ters have reached us, communicating some Articles of
recent intelligence from Java.
By these advises w•e are informed,' that General
Daendels had at length closed an obstinate and d..
structive war against the Bantamars, in which the
French General had triumphed over all oppos tion
on the part of the brave but 'motored soldiers of
Bantam. The diihrent forts, stockades, and all the
defences of the Javanese were stormed, and carrie I
by the bayonet. This success, however, was dear,y
purchased ; and it is stated, that from 4.509 to 2,03 J
of the finest troops in the se,vice of DaenJels, hid
been killed in the latter part of the operat ons against
the Bantamars, who had for some time succe, filly
opposed every effort to subdue them. The pa
of Daendels being exh tweed by the rep aced defeat
of his troops, he assembled an army of 9,000 men.
including Europeans, and the Bnuggese, w!to are his
favourite native troops. Placing himself at the head
of this army, he marched in person against the B tna
tamars, who were joined in this emergency by the-
Lampoon men, an enteirrizing race, Inhabiting a
district on the Western parts of Java. The defeace
by the allies was obstinate and bloody; bu: after va.
rious conflicts, discipline and superior anointment
finally decided the struggle in favour of Daendels.
At the date of these accounts, the Governor Gene-
ral Daendels h►d rot returned to Sourabaye fr
Bantam ; being detained for some time at the latter
place, in the arrangements consequent to the termi-
natidn of the late war.

The explition projected by Daendels for the re.
capture of Amboyna had not been laid aside; though
it had necessarily bean postponed by the rebAlion as
it is termed, of the Bantamars. As soon as the G.
neral returns to the new Capital. the preparations for
the expulsion of the English from the Moluccas mere,
it is said, to be resumed.
The Gillo.B3tavian Government of Java have
lauly passA a number of regulations, calCulcel to
extend and improve the commerce of the Idani.
No information had been received in Jay of the
late tyrannical measures of Bonaparte with r spe-tto
the Dutch, nor of the annexation of Holland to the
French Empire. Intelligence of that event,. w afY
received in Java, will, no doubt, tend to inc e se he
hatred of the Dutch Officers and Sidon .gaimi
their French allies. . . L. virmis

Mr THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
A PROCLAMATION.
" Whereas great and weighty matter; claiming the consider-
ation of the Congress of The United States, font an extraordi-
nary occasion for convening them:
"1 do by these preheats appoint Monday, the 4th day of No-
vember next for Their meeting, at the City of Washington, here-
by requiring the respective Senators and Representatives then
and there to in Congress, in order to receive such coin.
munieatione u may then be made to them, and to consult and
determine on such measures as in their wisdom may be deemed
sneer fir the welfare of the United States.
" In testimony whereof, I have caused the seal of the Uni ed
States to be hereunto affixed, and signed the same with my hand.
" Done at the City of, Washington, the 24th day of July, in the
year of our Lord, 1811, and of the independence of the
Lusted States the 34th. (sired)
s• Ey the President, JAMES MADISON.
" Ey the Secretary, iA3ItI MONROZ."
• WASHINGTON, JULY 25.
The National
.Inielligencer of this day states, that
Congress are to be convened at an earlier day than
that appointed by the Constitution. It cannot be ex-
pected that the consideration which produced this
measure will be fully known until they shall be dis-
clOsed to the Legislature. It is to be presumed that
they grow out of our foreign relations. It seems to
be understood, that the communications of Mr. Fos-
ter do not correspond with the reasonable expecta-
tions which might have been formed. We do not
understand that they have extended directly :to any
subject beypnd the Orders in Council and the block-
ade of May, 1806.
With respect to this blockade, k is understood to
be placed under a construction, and on a footing to
render it nn longer an insuperable difficulty. As to
the Orders in Council, it would seem that a repeal of
Clem is made to depend, not only on further evidence
than is yet afforded of any repeal whatever of the
French Decrees, but on a repeal of those Decrees in
a far greater extent than the United States have re-
quired, or can require, as violating any of their neu-
tral rights ; and an idea is held out of a retaliation on
the Non-importation Act, if continued in force with-
out such repeal of the French Decrees as is contended
for by Great Britain.
The Essex frigate, lately returned, brought no in-
formation from Paris subsequent to the arrival of the
John Adams, which carried the proceedings of Con-
gress, and the dispatches of the Executive on that
and other subjects. In general it may be inferred,
from the official and other information, that the Ber-
lin and Milan Decrees, as they violate our neutral
rights, are not in operation, and that some relaxations
are taking place in the commercial intercourse with
France, though by no means as yet in the extent de-
sired. With respect to the other subjects of com-
plaint and demand by the United States, no change
has taken place.

NEW YORK, JULY ^.ll.
Last evening arrived at this port the fast-sailing
pilot boat schooner Flash, Captain Minugh, 36 days
from L'Orient ; sailed On the Ist June, at which
time no change had taken place in American affairs
si.ice the last accounts. All the American vessels
detained in the ports of France since November last
were released,-and busily procuring cargoes, as none
were permitted to leave without..
Captain Minitel states, that four or five sail of the
line and a number of frigates were waiting an °ppm'•
tunity to evade the British blockading fleet and slip

AUGUST I.—The Court of Inquiry demanded by
Commodore Rogers to investigate his conduct in the
affair of the Little Belt, it is said, is at last granted ;
is to convene at New York, and is to consist of Cap-
tains Decatur, Stewart, and Chauncey.
We understand that a day or two before Mr. Mon-
roe, Secretary of State, left the City of Washington,
he had an interview with Mr. Foster, the British Mi.
mister, which lasted several hours, and which we are
well assured terminated satisfactorily to both Gen-
tlemen.
AUGUST is currently repotted and believed
here, that the Commanders of. the armed vessels of
the United States have received instructions from the
President to protect all oar vessels on the coast from
British capture ; and to convoy those outward-bound
to France, &c. to a certain distance. This, if true,
will soon bring this long-winded negotiation to a
close.—The southern Papers state, that the Govern-
ment of the Uni!ed States has ordered a schooner
with several gun-boats to ascend the river Mobile to
Fort Stodart, loaded with arms and ammunition,
which are to resist any force that may be opposed.
—lt is also understood, that the Spanish Comman-
dant has received orders from the Havannah to op-
pose their passage by force.
NORFOLK, JULY 25.
The account of a naval engagement between the
British sloop Atalante and the French frigate Entre-
prenante, as mentioned in the Papers, we are well
assured, is totally ‘vi•.hout foundation. It appears
that the Atalante and Tartarus, being in company off
the Delaware on Saturday the 20th instant, had
sham tight. An officer who boarded the Eliza, from
whom this information respecting this pretended en-
gagement was received, gave, as we are told, Captain
Bulkeley the particulars published. It turns out that
this orlicer is one of the modern humourists called
Qute*ers, and that this is only a quiz.
=TRACT OF A LETTER FROM WASHINGTON TO A WIN-
TLEMAN IN BOSTON, BATED JULY 18.
44 The conferences between Messrs. Monroe and
Foster appear to be continued. Whether or r.st they
will produce an amicable accommodation, I am not
seer enough to foresee. But it needs not very sharp
eyes to perceive that Serrurier is exerting all his di.
plomatic skill to prevent one. He sticks as close to
the President and his Lady, as a Caulincourt is said
to have done to the Emperor and Empress of Russia.
We have been undergoing. stuns theatrical represen.
cations. On Monday evening they closed ; and Mrs.
Madison, M. Serrurier, the President, Monroe, Ha-
milton, Gallatin, atc. have been box tenants, tite-a-
tile. M. Serrurier appears as if he were the Atlas
which sulTports this new world of ours; and I am
credibly assured he has hinted, that if Mr. Foster ac-
commodates, he will take his leave.
1 Mr. Smith's pamphlet made foul weather in the
palace for some days ; hut since Barlow has reviewed
the exposition, and has billiogrgated the writer, the
clouds appear ti have se.. :ed, and our sun has
agaia been v sible. Mr. bi.sith will not be silent,
though he "wid not condescend to notice personal
abuse."

CORSOER, AUGUST a.

i

The enemy's convoy came to anchor yesterday be.
tween I.ongland and Sbrogoe. At ten in the fore-
noon it weighed and proceeded to the northward.
The convoy consisted of three ships of the line, two
frigates, three cutters, one schooner, and about 200
sail of merchants vessels. They passed to the east-
ward of Shrpgoe. We could discover among them
two Finland schuyts and a sloop, apparently Danish.
