CEYLON.

Essact of a letter from Ceylon, dated March 3.
Last night's Gazette contains a proclamation of
Martial Law throughout the whole of the interior ;
there is a General Order of the '26th ultel think,.
dittoing that no treasures or ammunition should be
removed from Ilevakella, Arisavella, Alt.apeteya, or
Ameapore,posts between Colombo and Candy, with-
pm as escort of '2O men. All these posts have been
leas strengthened from hence, and Es-e expect that
the dreg Provinces, called the Seven, Four, and
Three Corks, will openly declare themselves against
Ts very so= The force in which the rebels have
appeared round Candy has induced the Governor to
tall in In scattered detachments, and to concentrate
his force in Candy : he means to keep Badula also.
I conclude, from the apparent movements of the
rebels, that they intend to change the seat of war,
sad to divide our force ; the Dessawe of Ouvah oc•
oiling part of our troops in Lower Ouvah, and
6 ereabouts, and the Pretender, or some of his adbe-
rails, menacing our communications between Co-
lombo and Candy. The rebels, shew• no want of
,Cre-ereu, or ammunition: they now bring forward
their gingals. We trust that the melancholy situa-
t,:a to which the British interest on this Island has
been reduced, by the ignorant and impolitic mea-
sures which have been pursued in the Candian coun-
ty, will induce his Majesty's Ministers to make an
immediate change of men and measures. As long as
ear present system is observed, no solid tranquillity
can be expected ; and the Candians will have no con-
f.ience in our professions, as long as they are to treat
tith the authors of the Candian Convention."

A letter from Antwerp, dated July 31st, says,
• lathe Sittings of the States of the Province on the
fiu iostint, It was resolved, that an application
should be made to Government to obtain a change
in the present system of transit, which is very inja-
io.; to our commerce; but that the opinion of•the
cum Set of Commerce shall first be taken."
