EAST INDIES.

CALCUTTA, JULY*

We continue to receive statements regarding the
hreat severity of the late tempestuous weather, at the
ead of the Bay. The Feniscowles, Captain Humble,
after leaving the pilot on the 2d of June, met with
nothing but most heavy gales, which experienced no
abatement as she got to the ilouthward. At last, in
lat. 12. 54. N. and 90. E. she had her bowsprit car-
ried away by pitching in a tremendously heavy sea,
and was obliged to.bear up for Coringa, in order to
repair damages. She reached that place on the 19th
ult. and expected to be able to quit it soon after in
prosecution of her voyage. It is to be feared that her
cargo has sustained some damage.
The letter which gives this report, also mentions,
that a French or Dutch ship, which left Calcutta about
the same time with the Feniscowles, had been obliged
to put into Coringa, in consequence of most serious
injury sustained in the same gales. On referring to
our shipping list, it appears probable that this vessel
is the Danish ship Antoinette.
Wednesday, a report obtained circulation, stating
the discovery and apprehension of the person who had
employed himself in forging notes against the Bank
of Bengal. On hearing thii, Mr. Morley, the Trea-
surer, directed inquiry to be made without delay into
the truth of the report, and found that it was substan-
tially correct, the plate from which the forged Bank
Of Bengal notes for 500 rupees had been taken, hav-
ing been discovered, and the owner of it (a native
weaver), with his supposed accomplices,•having been
confined, under the authority if the Judge and Ma-
gistrate of the twenty-four pergunnahs, before whom
the matter will be thoroughly investigated.
As every piece of information which relates to re-
gions of India hitherto little known, but now brought
immediately under British influence, must be deemed
interesting, we have pleasure in communicating to
our Readers the substance of a further communica-
tion from Nusserabad, under date the 21st of June.
It states, that the country of Ajmeer is abundant
in game, such as deer, hares, stc. and that excellent
sport is to be had within a short distance of the cab-
tonments. Scorpions and snakes are, however, equally
numerous, and not so agreeable neighbours, as some
of the latter are very venomous. Tigers are to be met
with, at times, very near to the cantonments. What
appear to 'be most complained of, during the preva-
lence df the hoe winds, are the immense clouds of
sand collected and driven along by whirlwinds, so
as to darken the air, and sometimes, even to make it
necessary to light candles at
Before the arrival of the British forte, the country
about Ajmeer was much infested by a set of wretched-
looking fellows, likeTakiers, who were dextrous and
incessant in the commission of robberies and murder.
It is not likely that these ruffians can be long able to
continue their lawless occupation, and their suppres-
sion cannot fail of being regarded as a most import-
ant benefit by the peaceable inhabitants.

. The Boston Patriot says * We take pleasure in
informing the Public, that Mr. JOHN ELLEY, owner
of the Macedonian, has received a letter from the
Hon. QUINCY ADAMS, Secretary of State, informing,
that he had submitted Mr. ELLEy's Letter, and the
documents accompanying it, to the PRESIDENT, and
that he had directed him to inform Mr. ELLEY that a
vessel of war would be dispatched immediately to de-
mand justice, agreeably to the Laws of Nations !
Thus," adds the Patriot, " will foreign nations be
taught, whether they belong to the Oki World or the
New—whether they style themselves Royalists or
Patriots—that justice to our citizens, and respect to
our flag, is what the United States will enforce and
command !"

ENORMOUS ROBBERY OF THE BRISTOL MAIL
Coscn.—.On' Tuesday, four men took places in the
mail coach at Bristol, for Loudon, and proceeded in
it to within four miles of town ; two of them alighted
at Hammersmith, and the other two at Knights-
bridge. On the arrival of the mail in London, it
was discovered that the locks of the seat had been
picked, and every parcel therein taken away. It is
feared some. of them were of considerable .value ;
but the amount has not been yet ascertained.
tidings have transpired of die plunderers.

The negotiations between this Government and
that of Spain, for the further supply of ten millions
of dollars from the South American Colonies, are
not yet terminated. It is stated, in private letters
from Madrid, of the 22d ult. that FERDINAI4D hesi-
tates to make the cession to England, apprehending
that he will require large amounts of specie for the
use of the armaments which are preparing for the
subjugation of the revolted Provinces of South Ame-
rica. It is understood, however, that Messrs. DICK
add PARK, our Conamissloners at Vera Cruz, who
were engaged in transmitting silver from Mexico
to this country, last. year, have received instructions
to continue there, under the etpectation that the Spa.
nisk Government will ultimately allow the amount
of specie sought for to be sent to England.
