Z" 1t appears, that on the esd inf. general
Welleiley entered into an agreement with Scin-

arms between us and him that is to fay, after
the fpace of ten days, which we allowed fo.
Scindia to fgn the treaty, and perform the art;-
cles of it, one of which was, that he ibouid re-
tire with his army 20 cofies eaft of EliecBpoor.
and maintain that dinarce at all times between
his and our armies here, and in Cuzerat, SC. to
prevent the poiiiblity of the troops, nlutuallv

and about three miles after he had left orr

them another yakeel from Burma Baupoo, the
Bholla's brother. The general met him very
cordially, and lifened to his propofals, which
were as follows:
"That lie wilhed to treat with the general.
and that as his and Scandals armies were now

the ground he had left ON the Poonah river, and
in that cafe, the armies of Scinda and the Ra-

Several perfons, Including two American Ia
dies, and Engliih gentlemen, arrived on Satur-
day from the Continent. Some of them left
Paris, iubfequent to the execution of the Duke
Of Enghien. According to their report, that
unfortunate Prince requefed three favoms after
his condemnation. One was, that he might be
attended by a Prief, which was refufed the
iecond, that lock of his hair might be fent to
perton whom he ihould name, which was grant
ed; and, thirdly, that he might be above ed to
give the word of command TO the folders who
were to ihoot him, which was refuisd. As we
have already ftated, he was fhot by party of
italian Guards.-The conformation which this
bloody deed has excited abroad, is nothing in
companion with that which it has produced in
Paris. The reign Of terror was never 70 potent
and universal. None but fpes are fate and
consequently every man, TO avoid denuhciation,
IS obliged to become al py. The mott intimate
friends are afraid to fpeak to each other; all is
terror, lilence, and futpicion.

ct time when the public attention is much
occupied with the fituation of the Britifh fleet
on B,rF, and the perseverance, which Admiral
CoRNwALLIs has difplayed in retaining that fla
ton, the following details may not be uninteref
ting to our readers:
which communicates with the ocean only by
one narrow Pafage called the Goulet The
tides, which here rife high, render the current
IN this paiaSe extremely rapid at ebb and food /;
and when the wind and tide are both aeainn a
veiie, it is icafeey poffibet 10 wofl, through the
frat, iii happen to blowshefh The direction
OF the pAiiage IS nearly eaff and welt. From
whatever point the wind blows at faa, or on
ihore, the current OF air ON entering the Goulet
atlumes naturally the direction of that paffage,
and is consequently always either eaferlv or
welterly: Thus fhips have always the wind
either abaft or ahead. With an eaife,ly breeze,
the pafiage out is not difficult even againit the
tide; bat when The wind is weftcrly, il is i'm
Polhbie to work out, except when the current is
IN favour ofthe veflel. Two rocks, the Minean
and the Feullettes, add to the difficulties of
the navigation. The latter, which is always un-
der water, mutt be carefully avoided. The iGou-
let does not open at once into the fea, but into a
fort of Archipelago of fcattered rocks, between
which the tide runs with great sapidity in vari-
Gus dlrections. This greatly ncreafes the dam
ger of the paIage with a contrary wind. >.
The Archipelago terminates to the north bv.
the Illeo Ufhast, and to the fouth bv the SAINTS
which from three outlets. The firf, between,
Uih2at and the main land, is called lie Fourt
1t is narrow, interlected by n1elves, and the cur
rent is extremely violent. This is the fhortef
paiiage to the channel but it can only be at
tempted in the day time, and with favourable
wind. The fecohd outlet is that of the Saints,
