&c. the Matter of which reports, that on quitting
Amflerdam the 17th intl. the preparations for invad-
ing this country were carrying on with the greatell
vigour, end that the report of the troops having re-
futed to embark was without foundation ; on the
contrary, every man appeared eager and defirous of
embarking to invade this country. The Mary,
ETHIRIDGE, from Newfoundland bound to this port,
was feen three days ago between Scilly and the Main,
with her main•mati .gone ; the wind blew fo freib,

by their Ceconds and Surgeons. After meafuring ifill
paces, they agreed to fire both together. The firft roans;
they both iniffirt; the fecond round Lieut. 8—......1
Miffed'' and Captain 9--'s ball entered the righti
fhoalder of Mr. B—r--; when the feconds interfered,
and every thing !mei fettled. The affair arofe con-
cerning a difpute at a 'raven: LIR week about Mo-
ney matters. Mr. B—r's wound is but very flight,.
the ball was immediately eilrasited, and he is :mom.
ing very fait.
Yelierday a Court of Direttors was held at the

nefday next.
The difpatches brought by the overland septets
from India have been aloft carefully concealed. It
is known that the letters from Bombay came down
to the 6th of Augufi ; fo that they muff confirm or
contradia the report of the detention of Admiral
Limo's. Thou;h the public are fo anxious for in-
formation on this point, they have not hien gratified s
and the only anfwer given to the molt eager inquiries
iat the India boufe s, that al it me. There is ma-
fon to believe that all is well, and that we certainly
had the (tart of the French in India. In addition to
the information brought home by the Alexander, we
learn the following particulars :
The Cumberland, Capt natal, failed from Ma-
drai about the asth of June left, and pat in at Penaog,
en her way to China, where the met the Aufpicious,
Capt. Basest, who is !Ince arrived, and who Rates
that Capt. Fosse informed him that an imprefs of
feamen had taken place in the port and bay of Ma-
dras, the day before he failed ; a etreumflance which.
haftened his departure,
_ as he dreaded the ids of his
men. That Admiral Rai st ea had gone into die Mai
of Pondicherry, which bad given fuck alarm trek
French frigate, lying at anchor, had weighed a
and made off. This account molt perfealy tallimas to
time with the intelligence from &mbay of the t6th
July, and renders it highly probable that Admiral
toots fell into the power of the Bash& fetaadroa.
Difpatches have been tcceived at the Admiralty;
dated on board the Tamar in April left, mataim.
