"By late decision of this government,
any vessels of England or the United States,
which may on the passage have captured the
ships or property Of either nation, viii, not DO
admitted TO an ehtry in the ports of France.
They may come and take Refreshments but
cannot land their original cargo or prize
goods. Thus letters-ofmarqsc destined to
France with cargoes, are virtually prohibited
capturing on the high seas, although theip
prizes are directed for the United States"

so many troops lately sent out from England

a formidable combination has been formed g.
raong some of the native princes Of that coun.

My opinion is fouoded On passage in les-
ter from an intelligent gentleman in India 10
his relation In this town, dated 2oth October,
1873: 81 wrote **sssss wo were all in
peace here--but now, l fear it will not long
continue. The Rajah Of Butporc, where SO
much blood was spills last war, to no purpose,
has been exciting some Of his neighbors TO
attack the Compsny's provinces and promis-
ed them assistance and it is now imagined
he will lose his country for his trcachcry."
The Rajah Of Burtport is an en,erprisng
warlikc character, and has heretofore been Z
very formidable and Troublesome disturber Of
the British possessions in his vicinity.
