had received a summons to surrender, a party under
Capt. Pearson was embarked the 15th inst. on board
the Honourable Company's cruizers Prince of Wales
and Sylph, to take possession ; but the treacherous
Killedar, after some frivolous excuses and delays,
suddenly opened so heavy a fire upon the cruizers ly-
ing at anchor, that they were under the necessity of
cutting their cables and putting to sea as 'expedi-
tiously as possible. On their return to Dewghur,
where the detachment disembarked, it was found the
enemy had taken advantage of their absence to
strengthen the stockade on the opposite bank of the'
river, from which they fired with jinjalls and match-
locks on every boat that attempted to cross the har-
bour. On the evening of the 18th, Captain Pearson
determined on dislodging them, for which purpose
he sent out a detachment under Capt. Hughes, con-
sisting of two Officers, Lieut. Thompson, of his Ma-
jesty's 89th Regiment, Lieut. Campbell, of the 11th
Regiment of Native Infantry, with 54 rank and file,
which, crossing over on the morning of the 19th,
completely surprized the enemy, killing and wound-
ing about 25, and taking nine prisoners, two of
whom were desperately wounded. While Captain
Hughes and his party gallantly carried the stockades
on shore, Captains Robson and Dominiceto nobly
contributed to the success of the undertaking,, by
pulling up the river with a party of 53 seamen and
marines, and attacking the enemy in front. The
force of the enemy opposed to this small party was
between 200 and 250 matchlockmeu. Their stock-
ades were completely destroyed, and about eight
1 jinjalls, with a number of matchlocks, 'ace. taken?'

It will be observed, that many of the mostbm,
actions recently achieved in India havebeenperfcad
by Lieutenants and Captains, in detached and iai►
pendent commands. The greater part of the I,:ts,
nants are from twelve to fifteen years standiri.x
Captains upwards of twenty years. The reg:,l.zsi
of the Order of the Bath confine that hoiiour to Fa
Officers ; and Brevet rank is not conferred upon is
Officers of the Company's Army ,as in England. 1?
then, are these deserving Captains and Subalterns
be rewarded ? The Company's Service now only af-
fords a subsistence ; and by the time the OFacers is
question rise to the rank of Firld Officer, it. will
time for them to think of repose and retirement.

PRIVATE izrrsa, DATED PARIS, SEPt. 14.

" There exists no reasonable doubt as to the satis-
factory prospect of our elections, generally speaking.
Some names mcoe or less agreeable may be intro-
duced ; but, upon the whole, they will certainly be
cornformable to the nation, which is decidedly for
peace and repose, with the consolidation of our new
institutions. Most of the pariy-candidates for whom
violent efforts are made, will therefore be rejected by
the good sense of our electors, who consist of men
even more interested than yours in the preservation
of public tranquillity.
" The ultra-Royalist conspiracy has greatly sim-
plified our future choice in elections by the light
which it has thrown on our real situation. Nearly all
the proteges of this faction, now so completely ult•
masked, teel themselves to be entirely set aside. They
must sustain a great diminution of numbers in the
Chamber of Deputies, which they will never be able
to repair. About 20 of their party must o out, and
they cannot expect to replace more than six. It even
will not be surprising if they abstain from appearing
or several of our electoral assemblies. They have
still the mania of considering radically null every
thing that is done without them ; as if Fiance had not
long been accustomed to reckon them out of her ranks!
" The chances lie between men separated by shades
rather than by differences of opinion. They concur
as to the essential doctrines, though they may not be
always agreed as to their immediate application.
They ought to unite, since they have to defend them-
selves against a common enemy, by whom they arc
both attacked with equal bitterness.
" There are now only two parties that cannot be
reconciled in France; namely, those who wish to
preserve and to honour the great results of the revo-
lution, now consecrated by the Royal Charter; and
those who regard those results with contempt, and
reject them as far as they dare with all their forces
The former are the friends of Monarchy and consti-
tutional equality ; the latter, partizans of the ancient
despotism, and of privileges of every kind.
" But the Jacobins, or Ultra. Liberals, it will be
exclaimed, why are they not taken into the account ?
Are not they the enemies of every sort of established
Government, and of all the most necessary social
advantages /—Yet, doubtless, there are some Jaco-
bins; but that name is given to many who do not
deserve it. There are few real Jacobins, as there are
few real Ultras. Both parties make a great noise, in
order that they may appear formidable, and are both
equally in discredit for the crimes of 1799, and the
excesses of 1815. The prodigy of 1793, when the
majority rose against the minority ; and that of 1815,
when the minority conspired against the majority,
will never again occur while our electoral and con-
stitutional system subsists. Neither of these fractions
of parties, for they ought not to be called parties,
are capable of destroying it.
" To be an Elector, it is necessary to pay SOO
francs in taxes ; to be eligible, 1,000. We have net
