BY the arrival of the Eliza, Capt.
Folger from Calcutta, we are favored
with the following particulars regard
ing the political fate of India, wherein
it appears that that quarter of the
globe is likely TO experience the bane-
full influence of French principles, by
the war that has already commenced be-
tween Great Britain and Tippoo Sui
tan, the firm ally of the French nation,
consequently the mortal foe ofthe Eng
liih. In confequence of an intercepted
correspondence, between Tippoo Sui
tan, with Buonaparte and the French
Directory, wherein he urges them, in
the mott earnelt manner, to fend a
body of troops to India, to enable him
to attack the Engliih, the earl of Morn
ington, General Governor of India, had

ARRETE.

The Particular Agent of the Execu-
tive Directory at Guadalupe and its
dependencies, has, ever fince his arrival
in the colony, confirmed the difpoftions
OF the Executive Directory of the
French Republic, with refpea to neu.
trail and allied nations ;-His meafures
hrve been calculated to keep union and
harmony, and to caufe their colours &
their property to be refpeaed.
Thoie meaiures were fcrupulouly
oblerved with regard to the Americans.
The citizens of that nation, who were
detained, on his arrival, have been re-
leafed. Thofe who were defitute of
means, have been fupplied with the fuc-
cours which their iituation required !;
and cartels were difpatched, at the ex-
penfe of the Republic, to convey them
to New-York. The cargoes and a,ips
feized and carried into the ports of
Guadaloupe and its dependencies, were
refored to the owners; and, to add to
the proofs of our ayerGon from vexa-
tons and koitilities, the armed fchoon-
er of the United States, the Revsuges
was fent back to the PRESIDENT.
The Particular Agent of the Direct
CRY could not, without altonifhment
and indignation, be informed, that in
contempt of the free and open conduit
obferved in refped to that nation, Mr..
Truxton, commanding the American
ihip Conltellation, mounting fifty guns,
iniulted the colours of the French Re-
public, and took in an action wherein
he was aggrefor, the frigate inlurgente
whole Captain had poGtiye orders to
refped the American flag.
Such piece of holtility, exercifed
without a declaration of war, has indu-
ced meafures, the refult of which leaves
no doubt that the American officer, in
thus acting, followed the orders and
initruetions of his government.
From the above facts, and the hoiti-
lities which are daily committed by the
Americans fince the capture of the In
furgente,
The Particular Agent of the Execu-
tive Directory,
Confdering, that it is his duty to
cauie the flag of the French Republic
