CAPTURE OF THE ISLE OF BOURBON.

It gives us great satisfaction to usher in the Jubilee
to our Readers with the pleasing intelligence of the
'capture of this last hold of the French Government
in the Indian Seas.

At halfpast ten o'clock last night, Lieutenan
BRODOHTON, of the Navy, arrived at the Admiralty,
and Captain PARKINSON, of the Army, arrived at Lord
Liverpool's Office, with the agreeable information.
Oar Readers will recollect, that the Expedition
which has performed this important service to the
country, was fitted out at Madras. The troops con-
sisted of the 69th and 86th regiments, with detach-
ments from the 12th, 33d, 89th, &c. with the 6th and
12th Native Infantry, a company of Artillery, Pio-
neers, &c. 'making in all a force of 2500 Europeans,
and 2000 Natives. They were to be joined by 1000
men at Rodriquez, and the whole were to proceed
under the command of Colonel KEATING. The DORIS,
DIOMEDE, and CEYLON men of war convoyed the Ex-
pedition.
The Officers who brought the dispatches came
home in the OLYSIPIA, Lieutenant TAYLOR, which
left the Cape eight weeks ago, and arrived at Ports-
mouth yesterday. The OLYMPIA has brought home
a French brig, richly laden, which she captured off
the Isle of France. The Isle of Bourbon was recently
new named Isle Bonaparte, in compliment to the
French Emperor. •
The following letter was sent from Lord LIYZR-
POOL to the LORD MAYOR on the subject, at a late
hour last night :
" Downing-street, 24th October, 1810.

" MY Loan—Captain PARKINSON, Deputy Adju-
" tant•General to the Detachment acting under the

41 command of

KEATINO, has ar-

66 rived this evening at my office, with the intelligence
44 that the Isle of Bourbon, since designated the Isle
64 of Bonaparte, had surrendered by Capitulation to
48 his MAJESTY'S arms on the Bth July last. I am
a happy in being able to add, that the loss sustained
is in the operation which has led to this event, amounts
ss only to one subaltern, one serjeant, and sixteen rank
44 and file wounded.—l have the honour to be, my
" Lord, your Lordship's most obedient humble ser-
a ♦ant. (Signed) " LIVERPOOL.

" The Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR, &C. &C.

The mysterious allusions in the last Paris papers to
the arrival of " a foreign Prince at Fontainbleau,''
and the happiness that the Empress was about to
receive in a few days," are explained by letters to the
20th instant, received yesterday from the French coast.
According to these, this foreign Prince is no less a
personage than the Emperor FRANCIS, whose visit is
supposed to be for other purposes besides the imie
indulgence of a father's fondness. Great political)
objects are conjectured ; such as the engaging Austria
so assist in the subjugation of the Peninsula—the lino
of policy that is to be observed towards Russia—and
i definitive arrangement respecting the future con.
dition of Turkey. These speculations may or may
nor be well founded. They are all likely enough to
'enter into the daring, subtle, and ambitious views of
NAPOLEON, and the cautious' and calculating policy
of the Court of Vienna. That the Emperor FRANCIS
is the foreign Prince expected is rendered probible
from the sudden departure of BERTHIER from Fon-
tainbleaui who was to be absent only a few days.
A per'on of his consequtnce would hardly have been
deputed to do the usual honours to any of less dig-
nity- than a- crowned head. ••• • • ".
The account of Mr. ARMSTRONG'S departure from
France, it seems, was premature. He bad arrived at
Bourdeatix. from whence he was expected to sail about
the 10th inst. in an American vessel. It was supposed
that the delay of his departure had arisen from some
pending negociation with the Duke of CADORE, to
which one of the letters seems to advert in the follow-
ing terms :
“ General Armstrong has received a note froth the Duke of
);adore, in which he tells him that the seizure of American pro-
perty throughout France is considered by the Emperor as a rsprl.
sal for the seizure pf French property made in the United States
—and that whenever the United States shall restore the property
belonging to Frenchmen seized by them under the Nat-Inter-
course Law, and remit, as far as relates to his country (hence),
all fines and fbrfeitures, such act will be immediately Mowed
by the restoration of American property throughout France.—
He also states that American vessels direct float the United
States, loaded entirely with American produce, will be admitted
and protected."
