We mentioned yenerday that the Americans dii
not feem to be altogether fatisfied with the near
approach of the French. We have this day laid
before our readers the Meffage of the Prefident of
the United States of America to Congrefs, on the
tsth ultimo, which will be found an interefling
article, as it exhibits what may be confidered as
correa a pi lure of the Rate of the country as is ge-
nerally given in fuch documents : the ceffion of
Louifiana forms a prominent pelage in the meffage.

Some intelligence from India, not uninterelting.
will be found in the preceding column.

We have received Paris journals to the asth in.
Rant. They prefent Tome curious details refpett.
ing the new arrangements taking place in the
French National Intlitute.—They prefent alfofome
accounts from Contlantinople of a later date than
any before received. Thefe accounts Rate that.
by frefh difpatehes from Egypt, they have learnt
that the defeat of the Turkifh troops was not C.
difebous as at firft reported.

The report of a mifunderftanding between the
Turks and Britint is again repeated ; and it is Aid,
the latter refute to evacuate Egypt, till certain con-
ditions have been complied with. On this head
we can Rate, and on better authority than any
thing that can come through fuch a channel as the
above, that orders were fome time ago fent out
I for our troops to leave that country, and to pro-
ceed to Malta; and from all circumilances we
thould not be furprized, if it turn out that one
troops evacuated Egypt in the Mt week of the
prefent month.
The French papers confirm what we mentioned
lately of the French corvette la Matins having put
into Gibraltar, in diarefs, and having experienced
a polite reception, and every alEftance from the
exalted ch.aratter who has the command there.
They alto pick= tome very vague and imper-

fed details refpeding the Lite riot among force of
the foldiers in that garrifon; but as we are in poi-
feffion of more correct and later flatements, dired
from that place, their infertion is rendered unne-
eiffary.

The accounts that have reached us from Gib-
raltar come down to the 3d infant, and are molt
ifatisfadory. Now that we are in poffeflion of the
whole fafts, how different do they appear from
the llatements which, from want of better infor-
mation, not to fay from a fpirit of malevolence,
have found their way into fome of the Newfpa-
pers ? With fuch full and ample details as the
following, any comment would be fuperfluons :
GIBRALTAR, DECEMBER 3 _

*rote yon three days ago informing you of
the alarm we had had here from the riotous con.
&Et of two of our regiments. I ought to have
informed you that about a half of the fecond Bat-
&lion of the Royals, being compofed of Irifh and
of drafts from other corps, which arc, as all your

Military Readers know, invariably the worn men,

• •
4 it did not excite much furprize that they had in-
a,
ulged themfelves to excefs when they had got
, Tsb re Ilion of money; but the wonder was how they
had been able, after the regulations that had been
judiciody adopted here, to get liquor in fuch
quantity. This however has been afcertained on
the trial of eight of the rioters of the 25th Regi-
bent, which doled yefierday.
From the evidence it appeared dearly that the
riot had not refultea from any premeditated plan
or a aifaffeetion to any of their Officers, but was
toeielY the refult of drunkennefs. It came out,
however, that force Dutchmen, of whom there are
about feventy in the Regiment, and who are dif-
Contented at not having been difcharged at the
end of the war, were the chief infligators to the
tiot, and would have (purred on the other foldiers
+.o Tome mifchief if they had been able. But the
!Holt important fall brought out was the way in
which the men got fo large a fupply of liquor.

When His Royal Highnefs the Duke of Keer
arrived here as Commander, he found that the
foldiers could obtain liquor with fo muth facility
that they were abfolutely thereby deprived of
iniuty of the real comforts which otherwife would
be within their reach. This evil had arifen to an
Warming height, and its fource was traced to the
treat number, and the bad changer of many of
the Wine Houfes. The mole worthier: were
therefore rupprelred, and it was hoped from the
regulations adopted that the evil would loon be,
eared; and indeed the good 'frees of this wire
bedevil were in a &oft time manifelk, in the con-
dud and difcipline of the Garrifon.
eti tlib piefent trial it came out that the Wine
Sellers; whore houfes had been rupprelted, had
sittoitoully fupplied many of the men of the asth
Regiment with buckets of wine in as great Tun-
is they could drink, to induce then: to cry
but for the Wine Houlh being opened again—in
the hope, probably, that could the men be by this
means enfuriated, they might create filch an alarm
as might furprize the Commander into a promife
bf this kind as the means of rettoring quiet. In
this their hopes have been fruftrated, and Come of
them will have caufe to repent of the experiment
they have made. Three of them, to whom the
charge has beet: brought home, are now in prifon
for the offence, and will be profecuted with pto•
ter feveiity as loon as the trial of the foldiers is
ended.

The fentence of the eight foldiers Who hate been
tried will not be known till the trial of the other
Ave, which it now going on, fhall bk over Yott
itall then hear from me.

To-morrow three of the ringleaslers btionging
to the 25th Regiment are to be fhoi on the Grand
Parade, in pretence of the whole Garrifon, at eight
',clock. Their names are iaßoret, Teighttlan,
tad Retlty—the two former are Dutch, and the lift
an Irithman. It appears clearly that the whole of
the late mifehief and dißurbantes, both in the
Royals and ssth Regiment, originated folely in
the foreigners and drafts, none of the old foldlers
baying been at all aeceffary to the beinefs.
The Garrifon is all quiet as ufual.
