The following is a list of the Independent squadron
under Admiral Billow, that sailed on the sth of June
from Pampatar, in the island of Margarita, to block-
ade Angustuta, and co-operate with the besieging
army under Generals DottyAn and PlAR:—brig In-
dio Libre, ditto America Libre, ditto Conquistador,
ditto Buenos Ayres, under command of Captain Ec-
Trudi ; schooner Diana, ditto Sarasa, ditto Rosales;
cutter Aurora; five/alum, or armed launches of
extraordinary size; a gun-boat and several transports.
It. is confidently stated in the City, that so exten-
sive and valuable have been the captures made by
the Insurgent privateers of South America, that the
Committee of LLOYD% Coffee-House have, for some
time past, given the circumstance the most serious
consideration. A deputation from the Committee
have made application to Government ; and the
reply is said to give the Gentlemen of Li.ovu's
not the slightest encouragement to expect that Go-
vernment will take any step en their behalf. It is
reported to be in effect, that Portuguese and Spanish
vessels, sailing under the flag of each nation, and the
property on board being apparently foreign, after
their capture under such circumstances it is impos-
sible that the Government of England can interfere.
It the Mercbillts insure property not under t.l* Bri-
tish flag, it is an individual concern, and not at all a
notional question.

THE ARMY.

this gallant Officer, knowing the reliance which he
could place on his little baud, determined on Attempt-
ing to surfrize their camp, consisting if 5000 men;
in this he so effectually succeeded, that their first ►n-
timation of his visit were vollies of shot from the
British ; they fled in all directions, leaving the greater
part of their baggage on the grotoid, and many horst s
to their conquimrs. The sribalteins menti.ined in

Inent of the Ctls Regiment of Notre Infantry, to the Qtynter-
Master (A Brii ade, Northern I.:mt.:on.

SJR—I Wave-the liiinvor tii acquaint you, for tl'e
information of the Officer commending the divisiiali
that about five o'clock yesterday evening, we were
surprized by the Mahratta horse entering this town.
Having only Lieutenant Tulloli with mL., I List him
to take post at the other end of it, and born both
our divisions parties were sent out to the different
streets to endeavour to keep them out of the tune..
We had continual skirmishing for about two nourc,
and some men and horses were killed is the streets.
A little after six, Lieutenant Tweedie, who had re.
treated upon my detachment, arrived, having mar clic I
all night and that day, having been surroundtel by
thesis from eleven o'clock in the morning, I iound it
impossible to save the town, as they galloped through
and set fire to it in several places.
" At eleven o'clock, p. m. Lieutenant Jackson,
who had been stationed with his company about It;
miles off, arrived ; when considering myself strong
enough to give them an alert, I left Lieut. Twe:the
with two companies, in a strong position, and having
procured two peons from Mr. Spottiswood, who pro.
mired to sheer me the road to their camp, atc)at a
mile off, I put myself under their guidance, and
am happy to say, we succeeded beyond my exp,mta-
tion ; we were actually in the middle of their camp
before they discovered us, and we gave them two
vollies from the companies within ten yards, which
did great execution ; and it caused such contusion
among them, brat they fled in every dizection. We
traversed their camp, and killed. I should imagine,
from 20 to U 0 df them s they left the greatest part of
their baggage on the ground, and this morning there
were about /00 horses running loose about the town,
and we have killed and taken about 70 horse. Lieu-
tenant Tweedie, when he heard the filing, detached
Lieutenant Tufloh with a company to take post on
the banks of a tank for which they appealed to Lz
making ; this was such an unexpected mainzai;rP,
that a party of them galloped up close to Lieutcaar...
Tullois without discovering him, when he gave t;:yr.:
a volley, and killed some glen and horses. The,.
have been drawn up in front of us this morning. i.
should suppose there arc about iOOO of them, and
they are now moving off in the direction of Timsoor
and Saricottah; and I shall march this evening for
Chicacole, as I conceive it probable they will men
in that direction. We have taken a standard ardl
trumpet.—l have the honour .to be, Sir, your r.: ,a
obedient servant, W. C. OLIVEtt•

Klawdy, December 21.),

The following extract of a letter from an 0"T: r
commanding a Battalion of Native Infantry cn t!-.c
Madras Establishment, tends to increase our exptc-
tation of an immediate war in India with the Mal.-
rattas. It is dated, Camp near fitutinabad, ^n Ow
Nurbuddah River, Feb.‘2S:—" We have of lite had
a very active time in hunting Pindnies, but wall
little success in our quarters ; much, however. I
been done in others, vast numbers of them having
been killed, and thousands of their horses taken, so
that I imagine their day is past. A Bengal force is
now come to relieve this, and we are c,ll, Beal
knows where, in a few days. In the mean time, Cie
horizon is clouded in SCINDIAII% ditt:Ctit'll, air a
Maliratta war becomes daily more and more rol.,:ae.
unless he consents to subsidize a Lice of nue:.
has certainly aided and abetted the !litanies, t. ho
have committed dreadful our agrs in our North Di-
vision this season, aid I know net how we can be off
punishing the tasc..T. I shall write to you again, :ti
soon as matters develops themselves a little ; at Iv:-
scut we are all much in the. dark."
