Sic. &c. &c.

St R—l have the honour io acquaint you, for the in-
formati•.m of the Commander of the Forces, that having
been directed by the Deputy Quarter Master General to
reconnoitre the road in advance, I proceeded this morn-
ing, accompanied by an escort of thirty-four men of the
Givernor General's body guard, accompanied by Suba-
dar Major Kajie Babe Mahommud, in the direction of
Yaynaugh aun, and marched for ten miles without see-
ing any appearance of tyre enemy.
At this distance I observed a small picquet of Bur-
man cavalry rapidly retreating; and conceiving them
to be detached from the force under Montaeng•bo, I
thought that by intercepting them, we might approach
the Burman camp endiscovered. We therefore pursued
them as rapidly as the nature of the country would ad-
mit for about two miles, and at the same time they en-
tered a small valley, surrounded by steep hillocks,
where between 400 and 500 Burmans well armed with
musket.,, were bivouacked.
These were immediately charged by the body guard,
who, pressing on the crowd, sabred or shot about fifty
wren, among whom was a chief of rank (supposed to be
Itlontasing-bo), and completely dispersed the remainder,
part taking refuge in their boats, and others running to
the hills, where the acclivity was so great that we could
n"•t pursue them. Finding this to be the case, about a
hundred men, recovering from the panic into which
they had been thrown, took post on the crest and side
of the hill, and from thence kept a sharp bet most in-
effectual fire of jingals and musketry, by, which, I am
happy to say, only one man and a horse were wounded ;
hut as I Ferceived their numbers were increasing, and
that several meal had been detached to our rear, appa-
rently with a view of annoying us when returning, 1
thought it prudent to retire.
The body guard behaved with their usual gallantry, and the cool-
ness, zeal, and courage, manifested by Subadar Major Kajee Belie
Mahommed, made hiin so very conspicuous during the affair, that I
trust I may not be considered presumptuous in bringing his conduct
to the notice of the Commander of the Forces. I have, &c.

Account; from Paris state, that the Hebe corvette,
wh.ch sNiled from Havre with the Haytidn Commit,-
sioners on board, for St.• bestaingo, was reported to
have been lost, but at the moment the Post was leaving
Paris, a Telegraphic despatch was received stating Oa.

%el-Übe had safe arrived at Bretst,'abd was expected to
sail again fyr her destination. Eery hope was enter-
tained that the Haytian Commissionels,on their return,
would accomplish their object and-arrribve the difficulty
which retarded the' ratification of 'the Treaty of Com
merce with France.

A Hamburgh Mail, with German Papers to the 9.h,
have been received. They are exclusively devoted to
reports of the Corn Markets on the Continent, and are
given in another place.
The Hamburgh Correspondent to the 9th instant con-
tains the heads of a neat), concluded in the early part
of the present year, between Norway and Russia, under
the mediation of Denmark, setting forth the boundaries
of the two countries. The chief object of the Treaty is
to prevent collision in future in what are called the corn.
mon districts (Failed: Districta). By this Treaty the
Boundary Line set out in t'-e Treaty concluded between
Sweden ansi Denmark in 1751, is pre.erved. The Con-
vention was signed at St. Petereburgh on the 14th of
May last, and by its provisions was to be ratified in six
weeks, or sooner, it possible, and the Ratification ex-,
changed within six weeks from the s'gning of the Con-
vention. We have already given the substance of thit
document, which reached us some time since from a
different quarter.
The French Papers of Wednesday and Thursday
have been received. Their contents ate unimportant,
and will be found among the paragraphs.
The proceedings at two i:TtraWlice Offices, yesterday,
will excite regret that a gqod cause could have been
so badly served ; and that mismanagement in other
quarters, to use the gentlest term, should have received
so shameless and disgraceful a sequel.

pal freeholders of the town and neighbourhood gave a dinner to the

- FOREIGN MARKETS.
—"P-
-• RECSIVIM THIS M9RNING.
1711 A NIt.FORT, sm.4.

Though the chief wholesale business of our Fair Was done 41 the
end of the last week, and the beginning of the present week, we
cannot yet positively state the prices of the principal articles.—
According to the statements of the purchasers, on which, however,
entire reliance cannot be placed, the following articles have declined
in price,
,compared 'with the Easter fair, viz. silk manufactures
about 15 per cent. cottons, ditto, especially English, from 10 to 12
per cent. woollen manufactures, some ten per cent. and others, for
instance, Merinos, 15 per cent. In many articles, novelty of
pattern has a great influence on the prices, so that between pods
of the same texture and quality, there is sometimes a difference of
10 per cent or more, merely on that account. With respect to wools
the sales here do not yet afford sufficient data to found an opinion
on the general result. Last week, however, in the market of a
considerable town in this neighbourhood, wool was sold at 20
kreuzers, which not long ago would have fetched 24 kreuzers.—
But this single case will not authorise a general inference, especially
when we consider the embarrassments under which the small far-
mers and landowners, in particubr, suffer, and which often compel
them to effect sales on any terms.
