 Defeqt of the French dt Madagascar. i-Accounts had reached Riauritius of the repulse of the French squadron, in an attack upon Foul Point, in the Island of Madagascar with the loss of thirty killed, among whom was the command ant of the French settlement at St. Ma rie. The result excited much surprise at the Maaritius, as 1t was supposed, from the known defenceless condition of Foul Point, that successful resistance could not have been offered to any at- tack supported by heavily armed ships. 1t was therefore conjectured that the French must in the first instance, have effected landing, and that they had been defeated in attempting to pene- trate into the country. No doubt, how ever, was entertained of their having 1 heen defeated, whether upon landing, or in their subsequent progress, as dead bodies of French troops were seen scat tered upon tic beachat Foul Point, from which the heads had been cut of, and stuck upon high poles.
