'I jforeign ▼r* vwr^yu**. EAST INDIES. Death -'of Tippoo Svltaw, See Prom tbe Bmnb*y courier, received at tbe Office of tbe Mercantile Advertiser. BOMBAY, June j 2 . faotiritfiftanding much has been said and Written oil the fubjecl of the late hostilities i in Mysore, yet as the most minute occur rences conne&ed with, and tending to, their happy and glorious termination, acquire im portance from the ever memorable result of that fliort but- severe eonteft, the following few particulars seem, on this ground, to have ■claim to our motice. The (information before uj is from an officer of the Bombay army, dated " Camp near Sudafeer, r7th Ma\, 179J and re lates chi 'fly to their proceedings ; begins by bating their march from that place on the 10111 April in company with the detachment from tlx Grand Army under (general Floyd, tnd their jun&ion with the main body on the 14 th ditto. It teems that the Bombay ar on their- arrival before Seringapatam. hid one day's, reft, and on the next crofted the Carery, encamping to the North of it within tooo yards of th.e Fo-rt. On the 17th Colonel Hart with.the 75th regiment Major Disney's Corps, and the flank corn panics of Major 1 ,aw re net's with four guis under Captain Torriano and Lieutenant George Warden, Lieuteuant Macredie ae fc»nipanying them as a volunteer, advanced and took a strong position about 900 yards from the Fort, the enemy, contrary to their expectation, flying on the appearance of this body, which was thought to oe chiefly ed by their attention being occupied vement of the grand army who ad it the fame time and intreached them -1 the other fide of the Fort at near ti me diftanee. That night the enemy f jet, and Lieutenant Warden was with a gun to the covering party 1 hit appears conlifted of the 74th regi ment a: d Colonel Marshal's Corps under the of Col. Campbell. It seems they re ,as may be tuppofed, thoroughly ■ «w<« tc orthe expefed parts of Colonel Hart's ports, and the enemy in the Fort on the mor ning of the 18th opened their guns on it, accompanied with a heavy fire of inufquetry from the ruins of a village. Captain Tor riano, in his zeal to dislodge th£ enemy from this village, advanced his gun from un der cover, and was flmrk by a cannon (hot on tliefhoulder which killed him on thefpot and wesnded four or five lafears ; thoi'e who were wounded also died soon afterwards Lieut. Macredie expwfing himfelf to take an account of the ammunition soon afttf'r fliare-l the fame fate having his head carridfcl off by a (hot from the gun. Colonel Hart 1 * port being then left without an artillery of-' ficer, lieutenant Warden was recalled to take charge there about j o'clock in the after noon, where their situation was lo hot that, not a man was permitted to stand up ; a battery h«d been lined out here the preceding evening, but owirg to the peculiarity of the eonftruAiofl of it, the troops remained ii» this posture another day, they were relieved however on the following flight. The bat tery, which mounted fix guns., was opened on the aoth,and bore, at leaitpart of them, on a powder mill where the enemy had a strong post, but still much exposed to the f übs of the fort which dismounted some of ours and killed several of the artillerymen. On the 24th the grand arr-y stormed the mill, and the fix gilt battery being no lon ger necrflary another was lined. Out to enfi lade the enemy's works, and assist two bat teries orj.the other fide which were intended to open a,t the fame time. On that night his niajefty's 74th regiment, with a gun, were ordered to make a feint 10 divert the attention of the enemy while the engineers were reconnoitring ; the gun was placed on a hill so as to cover the regiment of which the flank companies firfl advanced, but were obliged to fall back in Mo me eonfufion un der a severe fire from the enemy's mufquetry, which was at length fileneed by the fire of. grape (hot from the gun, when colonel Campbell again advanced with the whole re giment, and the engineers efFe(Sled their pur po ft; the 74th and the party of artillery which were with them then withdrew with a confide rahU loss of men, th« former being relieved by the 75th, and the latter by a frclh party of their own men. On the night of the 15th the enemy made an attack on the trendies and covering party of the Bom bay army (as has been formerly noticed) but were driven back with very cnnfiderable loss on both fides ; indeed our Bombay friends seem to have sustained their full share of the hardfliips and dangers of the siege all through. On the 29th a port was taken by the grand army where the breaching battery was to be erefted, while an inceflant roar oi ar tillery was kept up from the enllading bat tery of the Bombay amy and the two 011 tlie other lide , the enemy running in all di reftions as onr troops advanced, and Tippoo from the fort firing on his own people ;the 74th regiment advanced on this occalion to the very gates ofthefoit and bayonetted fe veralFrenchmen in their tents on the glacis ; the next morning the enemy made a despe rate sally on the polls the grand army had taken pofielTion of, which was soon repulsed but not wiihout having several officers woun ded and near aoc Europeans killed and wounded. The spening of the breaching batteries on the 28th and 30th, the report on the 3d of May of thr breach being pra&icable, and the brilliant event of the 4th, have been already fully and officially detailed, so that we have only to subjoin a few remarks which perhaps were deemed incompatible with the dignity of an official account, bus serve to fill the measure of the public curiosity which has been (a much excited oh anoccafion- to without precedent, and will probably rr-, main forever without its parallel. m General Baird when all the troop*/ got into the fort, and the fate of the day was decided, went to the palace, and demanded that the gates fhouldbe opened; thofc with in however made fonae hesitation, and the general finding that fair means were una vailing, ordered a field piece to be drawn up and threatened to burst the gates open ; this had the deli red effeft, and the adjutant ge neral, colonel Close, entered the palace where he found two of the princes (as formerly noticed). They appeared haughty and I'ullen ( in their demeanour, and refufed. to Itir out of the palace-, uniil one of the attendants «ame up, and retailing them "to a more pro per lenie of their situation, they surrender ed themfelves'to general Baird. The gene ral after the ceremonial of i'uch an interview ; enquiredof them'what had become of a par ty of Europeans of the 33d regiment, who had loft their way to the camp one night during the siege, and had fallen into the hands of Tiptoe's people, when he had the mortification to hear that these unfortunate men had all been put to death. The gene ral's next enquiry was after the faltan's per son, whom the princes pofitivsly denied knowing any thing of. which with the avow al of the death of the abovementioned par ty, so irritated the general that he informed the princes that unlel'j the fulian was deli vered up, he would order the grenadiers to' enter the palace and bring him out by force ; adding that in such a cafe he would nptjbe anfwerxble for-the women being free from insult: when this was explained to the prin ces, an old man canie forward and informed the general he would shew bim Tippoo's bo dy, which was found, as before rflacsd, un-' der many other (lain.; our recent informa tion lays, near a (ally port where he fell en deavoring to make his rfeapcj-the princes were then carried to general Harris" tents. Tippoo's eldest fob delivered h'mfelf up on the 6th, and Cummer Odeen Khan on the 10th May; Futcy Hyder, Tippoo's nacu ral son and favorite, was, as this correspond ent informs us, expe&ed to deliver hiinfelf : up on the 73th, the day the Bombay army left Seringapatam. Another letter from Seringapatam dated nth May, mention* that Purnea, v.horrt general Harris, in his letter of th« 7th May, mentions t® have been fuinmnned at! the fame time with Cummer Odeen l farreii dered liimfelf at th« Derriah Dowlut Bang on thatday; adding, in confirmation of our other intelligertce, that Putty Hyd?fr was to come iii on the day following ; it was ru moured that great changes were to take plnce in- some of the. tnoft-important milit&i-y com mands in this courttry, and that the 19th dragoons were to return to Europe. A letter from Seringapatam dated 26th May, mention* that of the* jewels not above 6or 7 p*cks of pagodas worth-bad been then valued; and as. Jp -the merchandize, v«. muslins, (hawls, and various rich cloths, they were reckoned at the enormous amount of 50Q Camel's Ipad. The fultan'g throint being too unwieldy to carry, had-been broke-! i. it.'Wa?..a..howdM upon-a- tygcr covered' with sheet gold.; the ascent to it was by fil-_ ver ftcps, gilt, having silver nails and all the ' otTier faftenings of the fame metali The canopy wa-s-sKkeTuperb and decorated with a costly fringe of fine pearls all -round tu The eyes and teeth of the tyger were of glass. It was valued' at 66,000 pagodas. It was laid that a divividenj to the value cli about a million ftcrfirtg Would soon be made ; part of it to the amount of 17 Ijcks oif pa-" godas in cash, the'rtft in jewels ; a commit tee had been appointed for the arrangement of it. * ' Other advices from Seringapatam dated the 27th May mention that in breaking up the throne, which its bulk and weight ren dered oeftrffary. the sheet of gold with which it was covered was found to weigh 40,000 ; pagodas ;the silver work about it, the fupport ersof the canopy and the Fringe of pearl, which went round it, were valued at to,ooo pago das more. Every inch of the howdah con tained an Arabic sentence, chiefly from the koran, superbly {lamped, being raised and polished in the mod beautiful manner. A gold figure of a bird, cor;red over with the mofl precious (tones, was lcrewed to the roof of the canopy ; it beak is a large emerald ; its eyes carbuncles } the breast covered with diamonds, and the wings, which are expand ed as if hoveving, completely lined with dia monds ; 011 the back are many jewels well and fancifully disposed ; the tail which refembies a peacock's is also studded in the fame manner ; the whole sb arranged as to imitate the plumage, and so closely set that the gold it scarce visible. A number of cygers were found in the pa lace yard which were ordered to be fliot for fear of accidents. Information having been given that a quantity of jewels were concealed in the se raglio, application was made to colonel Wel leftey, the commandar.t, for permiflion to fearth ; which being granted, and the pro per notice given to remove the women from the apartments which it was the intention to search, the gentlemen deputed on this oc casion proceeded to infpeft them ; but were disappointed in every reipeft ; for they did not find any thing of value, and instead of elegant habitations which they imagined, found plates as filthy as the lowefland dirti est dwelling in the bazar, the furniture con ning of a chair, a i'wiiig, two or three boxes of clothes, \ miserable bed, and a (helf of per fumes. spices, &e. it was discovered after wards that Tippoo never entrusted his wo. men with the keeping of their jewels ; there we*e in all, including some of the wives and ladi« of the late Hyder, and those of Tip- poo's family with, their attendants six hun dred and fifty fcmaUs in the palace. Adrices from China «f the jth March mention the death of the emperoi" Kier, L»ng ; in consequence of which a geneea) inhuming throughout the empire had been ordered for twelve months. The royal aui thority devolves to his son Ka-Hing who has reigned nominally for Upwards of two years past. The Chinefc are eonfequently all in white, and remain, we believe, with uo- Ihaven heads and beards, for fix months oM of the twelve. June J9 —Since our last courier we have been favoured with the following additional particulars from Mysore. , The number of men a&uaHy under arms at the assault of Scringapjtam was 24.93 Europeans and 1883 Natives—437^. • 7 WW- c The capture of the rampants was gene ral Baird't firfl objeft.

Baird receiv ed intelligence from one of the prisoners, on being questioned at to the place of con finement of the European fbldiers who had been taken in the different assaults on the oot-pofts during tht siege, that they] had all been put to a vrolent death a few days be fore. On this the general immediately ad vanced towards the palace with the flankers of the 74th regimem, the light infantry and remaining part of the 12th regiment, with a view, it was thought, if Cowl had not already been granted at the palace, and it the dreadful accounts of the death of the unfortunate men had been confirmed, to take signal ve«ge,nce on the tyrant, for this aft of premeditated tyranny. On reaching the palace major Allen came out and met the general, informing him that I.ppoo , two youngest sons were in it who were ignorant where their fatiier was, but were dtfpofed to funender themft! v «s and the palace on a promise of proteaion.- Ahe general, anxious to discover Tippoo who was certainly reported to be in the pa lace, hesitated to agree to these conditions, unless the princes would inform him whert their father was, a d threatened to fearcl afliduououflythemoftfecret recefsofthe pa. lace if he was no: inltantly produced but they perfilting in their ign ranee, anc the general unwii|, g;j . f. lime as nj h| wat approaching, sent them off to genera Harris under chat e of lieutenant colone Agnew, capt. Marriot and another office; n 7 th? llght ilt ' antr y company o his Majesty t 33d regiment, after affurint them of proteftion aad kind treatment. [ The palace was'then taken possession of without opposition, ai:d a search was made for Tippoo in rain, every where excepting Zenanah, which was surrounded by troops to prevent his escape if he was in it. One of the attendants in the palace, at last, on being severely threatened, told the gen eral that the Sultaun was killed in attempt ing to eicape through the Northern Sally Port, and-, accordingly conduced them to the (pot, where the Sultaua's body was fannd under a heap of hundred (lain as be fore Hated. Night coming nn the general then proceeded to give every possible pro tt&ion to the inhabitants, and it did not ap pear that there was any infiilt or injury of fered to any individual after the conflict cea sed ; thereby furnifhing a memorable- testi mony to the natives of Asia that Britilh soldiers are equally brave and humane ! Other accounts add that the unhappy captive Europeans mentioned in the fore going detail, among whom wasf an officer, brought from the place of heir confine meat two days before the assault, and or dered to assist in working t'w guns on'tbe works, which they refufed ; tliey were then informed that death would be the confe: quenee of their perfitting in the refufal , but even thir threat did not warp them from their purpose and their heads were all struck off. It is said the mode of their, death was as erwards ascertained by digging the bodies up which were afcfound in that state. j FOR SALE, B* JOSEPH SIM 8, No. i"«, Bohea Tea, in whole, halt and qr. cherts, Silk Umbrellas, plain and fringed, Hair Ribbon, ' Window Blind?, ™ r hitc f 1 brown Havaona Sugar* in boxes, Old C c Brandy, ift, 3d, and 4th proof, »• ; •: Arid a quantity of Cordage aflbrted.
