The Bombay Papers to the end of May add but
little to the information already before our Readers.
On the whole, there does not appear to exist any very
serious cause for alarm from the apprehended hosti-
lities of the Mahratta Powers. Private advice: com-
municate several particulars not well explained in
the printed Journals. They state, that the immediate
causes of quarrel with the Pusitw,t have arisen out
of femat: intrigue. The story of TNIIINGCNUIRE and
his assassinAtions has probably not yet been forgotten.
Since that Minister made his escape from Turmoils
he had employed the money and tacit authority of
the Plumy* (his master) in secret negotiation: with
the other Mahratta chiefs, who have long manifested
a strong spirit of enmity against the Government of
Great Britain. Notwithstanding the remonstrances
of Sir GZONOZ ELPIIINSTONE, the ?EMMA'S Minister
continued his warlike preparations in concert with
these confederates. All was known to the English Go-
vornnient ; and so soon as an adequate force could be.
prepared, Lord Hass INGS ordered the icvestment of
the PEISIIWA% capital. That Sovereign attempted
no resistance, but submitted without firing a shot.—
The British Minister demanded five of his strongest
fortresses as pledges of his future good behaviour.
Of these four were instantly surrendered—namely,
Lenghur, Ruggar, Lingo'', and Poorunder ; in which
last place of safety the archives of his Government,
and Ins most valuable treasures, were deposited. The
intentions of Lord HASTINGS with regard to the other
Chieftains were not accurately known—but as his
Lordship had collected a powerful army, it was not
presumed that he would let his force lie idle, or suffer
it to disperse without exacting from the predatory
states some efficient security for the future peace of
India.

From the accounts wliich we communicated yes-
terday and on Tueid (y, from the American Jour-
nals, respecting the aitors of the Spanish Insurgents,
it appears that Central MiGnroott, who on the Ilth
of August issued at Amelia Island a Proclamation
dccl tying the cost of the two Floridas in a state of
blockade from the 15th of September, had, ler some
reason or other, perhaps disappointed in his expecta-
tion of being joined by a sufft:ient force, resigned his
command to Colonel Inv:v., ten days eatlier then
the period at which the blockade was to be considered
in force. It is believed he has gone to the Isnited
States—probably to reinforce hinowlf. This Colonel
Invests awaited the attack then preparing by the
Royalists, whom he beat off en the 12th and ISth of
September, with little loss ( n either side ; and, on
the 21st of September, he hoisted the Mexican flag,
and issued a Proclamation of Independence.
By the accounts, it Would appear that some dissen-
tions prevailed among the Independents at Amelia
Island, which ended in the command devolving on
Commodore AUItY, when a Mr. HUBBARD, late She-
riff of New York, was, after some altercations with
the Commodore, appointed Civil Governor. At
Amelia Island they consider themselves safe against
any attempt of the Royalists.
Margaritta also has be:n abandoned by the Roya-
lists, but whether in consequence of any force with
which they could there have been assailed by the Pa-
triots•ie not so certain. The retreat, however, proves
that, if not in this spot, in some other the presence of
the Spanish General Monti.Lo was called for to op-
pose the Patriot forces or, in other words, that the
general operations of the insurgents were successful.'
He had to look after botavait and other independent'
' Officers of Guiana, and to collect forces to oppose
the advance of the Independent army against the
province of Caraccas. as disposable force was
estimated to amount to something near 4000 men,
good soldiers, and ably officered, besides 2000 Creole
and Indian auxiliaries. The Patriot a: my was va-
riously estimated horn four to Seoo men, but inferior
in skill, discipline, and equipment, to the Royalists
under the orders of MORiLLO. It was not thought
probable that the Patriots would be forward to risk a
general action; although their superiority to the Spa-
niards is evident enough, when crnployed as parti-
zans or Guerillas. The war is carried on in the most
ferocious and sanguinary spirit. Little mercy is
shewn on either s:de. Women and helpless children
are butchered to revenge the conduct of their military
relatives.

A New York paper announces, that the French and
Spanish Ministers in the United States have ordered
the French frigate Eurydice, lately supplied with ne-
cessaries in the harbour of New York, to cruize off
the Florida., for the purpose of aiding the Royalists,
This the friends of the Patriots in the United states
openly. complain of, as involving a breach of the
neutrality which the United States are pledged to
maintain between the belligerents; insinuating pretty
broadly, that if the privilege be granted to the Spa•
niards of fitting out, or of refreshing, in the United'
States, to act against the Patriots, the restriction
.must be taken off by which American •citiaens tire,

debarred from equipping trunk Of raising troops for
their sttpport.
A letter from Grenada, received in town yester-
day, having reference to South America, we give it
a place here :
" GRENADA, SEPTEMBER to.

41 Ever since the 12th of August three vessels have
been off this port, full of passengers ( Royalists), from
Angustura, which place they were obliged to quit at,
so short a notice as not to be able to procure any pro-
visions, it having been captured by the Patriots.
They are now laying off and on, and, although starv-
ing, they are not allowed to anchor, nor have arty
communication with the shore whatever."

ISLAND, SEPTEMBER 26.

. " I bad business which called me to Fernandina this
morning. On my arrival I found the place in the
greatest confusion. Colonels Posey and Parker had
fled lour days ago. *Gregor has re-embarked on
board his brig, with his family and furniture. Colo-
nel Ervin has been airpointed to the temporary com-
mand, and a Council of Officers is hourly expected
to take place, to determine whether to risk a battle or
to abandon the place peaceably. The Morgiana's
men and guns have arrived. They have now three
armed brigs and three schooners, besides eighty men,
exclusive of officers, m iking in all ninety-four. This
morning the ship Margaret arrived from Ntw York,
with military and naval stores, so that in all proba-
bility there will be a severe engagement. The Spa-
niards have a considerable force at Cedar Point,
about twenty miles to the Southward of Fernandina,
waiting for some transports with ordnance and
tary stores from St. Augustine. Some of the Florida
militia are encamped at the Orange Grove on the
Main, in view of Fernandina, waiting to join the Spa-
nish forces; and it is generally believed here that Ge-
neral Coppinger will command in person, but at pre.
sent his troops are under the command of an officer
of the name of Drummond. My opinion. is, that the
Patriots are more formidable now than at any other
period."
NEW YORK, OCTOBER 6.

Captain Keith, of the Lavinia, which bad arrived
at &JUDOS Ayres, reported, that on the Bth of July,
in lat. 1. 9. N. long. 25. he fell in with seven vessels,
“ne apparently a small cot vette, the other transports,
with troops on board. They were then standing to
the southward, and reported themselves bound for the
river Plate. This, no doubt, is the convoy under the
Emeralda, that sailed from Cadiz on the sth of May,
for Chili, Arica, and Lima.

Captain Keele, arrived at Norfolk from St. Jrgo,
reports, that when he sailed the fever continued to
rage with great violence. It %vas not unusual to bee
irom nine to a dozen funerals of a morning, before
breakfast. Such inuilligence should keep the sjua!
ranting officers of the United States on the alert.
It has been ascertained from tables and records for
the last twelay-four years, that in Philadelphia the
Yellow Fever does not prevail when the months of
June and July do not ezceed 70 degrees ; but that
iu very summer since 1793, whenever the average
heat of those months has exceeded 79 degrees, then
the Fever has raged ; and that it has been most mce-
tal in those years in which the thermometer has indi-
cated the greatest altitude.

The Quebec Papers announce the arrival at that
port, doting the preceding week, of several hundred
emigrants from various ports in Great Si itain. The
whole number arrived at Quebec since the opening of
the navigation in May last, is stated at four thousand
one hundred and forty-three t most of this number, it
is said, have proceeded up the St. Lawrence, with the
view of settling in Upper Canada.

Letters of the 7th instant, from Cadiz, mention
that the Spanish €4, the Asia, with an armed brig,
bad returned to port from a cruise against the Inde-
pendents, without success, but it was expected they
would soon be sent out again. Out of a convoy of
thirteen vessels which had sailed from tie Havannah,
only four bad anived at Cadiz, and it was feared
many el the remainder had been captured.

At a late heat to-day we rccdved the Paris Papers
Monday.
All the private letters which have been received at
Paris from Madrid down to the 13th inst. arc, it is
said, wholly silent on the subject of the offensive
movements by Spain against Portugal. General
U'DoNsszt., it is affirmed, has not more than 10,000
men under his command in Estremadura.
An article from Vienna states; that a serious in-
surrection 'rim broken out at Bucharest, where the
Hospidar of Wallachia usually resides,which has cow-
riled the Hospidar to consult his safety by flight.
The Magnats of Hungary have presented a re-
monstrance to the Emperor of AUSTRIA, against the
union of Eselavonia, Croatia, and Dalmatia, to the
new kingdom of illyria. These three provibcco were'
anciently fiefs of the Crown of Hungary, and ought,
according to the old contracts betsieen the King and
the States, to be re-united to the kingdom of Hun-
gary. The States of-Upper and MidilkAustria were
convoked to meet on the 20th instant, in order to
receive some propositions of the Emperor, relative to
the imposts to be lejied in 1818.

An article from Trieste states, that a Danish brig,
the Venus, bound to that port from Lisbon, with a

rich cargo of colonial produce, had bete found
