no foundation for this statement—which was copied
from an Antigua Newipaper of the 27th in May.

tXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM AN OFFICER, FERY/Na
WITH THE EitITP4I ARMY IN: INDIA, DATED /AMA..

roar. °tine, rus. 14, 1317.
The Gootka rear at an end, it was supposed there
et °old hive been a long seatoa of ttanqudlity here;
but the scenes now acting show how unfounded such
expectations were. %Van and pnlitics are the only
topics of conversation in ail cowers. The fi=.est
artily is now in the field that ever India saw employed.
In s oint of its tgitipments. and the r ature of the
troops convesing tr. it is siiperior, I imagine, to the
force with which L rd LAKE overi-an Hintforan.
These are two Regiment': of Mr 11/41,j ,sty's Dragoens,
and two of his Majes 's Foot, the Company's
European Horse Artillery. an Infant Recket Corps,
two Regiments of Native Dragoons, and 'mater a;
Battabans of Native Infantry, with the largest and
heaviert Battering Train that ever moved in India.
For a long time, their precise object seemed to be a
mystery; but I learn, that on the 12th inttant, this
army invested the fort of Ittttrash near Allygl.or or
Coel, which is the second strongest fort in India of
tho.e not in our possession. N.:ar it is anodicr simi-
larly circumstanced, as belonging to an Independent
Chi,f, and it.finitcly stronger, l'huripore. It Hat-
' crass surrendered (on being tnromotied to do so) on
the 12th, the t!inty, it is supposed. would return to
cantonments &trine, therlins.—Report saps, that
Lord Morns will be at Cs spore in Atn;tisr, and
that circumstanc:i have made *nether Mahratta war
probable, as during the winter the devastations CO
mined by the Pinalarries, a lawless and nornermis
horde of han:litti, have rendered it absn'twqr neces-
sary for hi; Lordship to put an end to t'r•: e.eages.

The Prevoyante store-ship, on her voyage to ch:e-
bee, encountered several immense fields and main-
tains of ice; and when off i.e Gulf of Sr. Lawrence,
she was completely fast, and unable to force ter w.:y
:hrough the immen,e masses by which s! e was on all
sides surrounded. She continued in this dangerous
situation sixteen days, and was obliged to anchor to
prevent her drifting ashore. The letter frrm which
we have gained this information, in conclusion says :
" On the 12th of May we weighed anchor, and
forced the ship's head round by hauling the pitcn of
ice astern with the grapnels. On the 1(;:h we
cleared the ice, after a great deal of trouble and
fatigue for both officers and men. On the 18th, v:e
received a pilot on board. On the 20th, in work :
the ship up from Orleans towards ouch :c, at
11.30. A. at. through the gross ignorance of the I,i;t,t
in tacking, the ship grounded,
in three fathoms...-.
Every exertion was made to force her over the sand,
but without effect. On the 25th, at 9, P. M. a seam
opened, an inch and a half wide, on the starboard
side, at the first futtock head, from the fore ZD :he
mizen chains, which admitted the water with gre,:t
force. Got the chain pumps on, which ettli.,t,yed ail
hands during the night. On the 2f;th, at 3. 10. P. 71•
the ship, being lightened two feet, was hove
where she made nine inches per hour. On the 13A1
of June we got the ship on the hl )ck-,-, and in examin-
ing her, we found the false keel gore, and likes% ise
some of her timbers. We are at pre.st.r.: nndergnarg
a repair, and expect to reach England about the :A-
ter end of August."
Thursday, Mr. Cooper, brewer, of Ryde,
been missing by his family during the day, and a!tt.r
the most diligent search bad been made, lie w..,
discovered quite lifeless, about four o'clock in the z;-
ternoon, in a large store cask of beer in his re .1
brewery, where it is conjectured he had rema.:::tc: : r
several hours.

PARIS As Ir Is.—There is no book, either in French
or English, which better deserves this tide, than
Tr.ONCIIET'S PICTURC OF PARIS. No one, indeed, bat
an eye-witness, could possibly describe with so much
truth and accuracy the multifarious objects of ci:ria-
sity to be found in Paris. It is accompanied with rive
different routes from the coast to Paris ; describing
' every thing worthy of observation on the journey,
including posting regulations, distances in Englisis
miles, &c. &c. ; with full directions to strangers on
their first arrivnl in the capital ;—und embellished
with a correct Map of the various routes, a plan of
Paris, views of public buildings, and other iotere::ting
plates. The Sixth Edition of this work, just publish-
ed, greatly improvel and enlatgcd from an actual
' visit to the French metropulh, cn:itains infortution
that taA t. lcund iu eny ollttr work.
