The 77th rfcgi nent had on the 18th of November embarked at Mangalore in boats for Calicut and Cochin. The second bat talion of the 2d regiment, one company of European-artillery, under the orders of capt. Cotter, and two companion of Lascars, were at this date under orders for Genoa. The field army, it was believed, was on the eve of breaking up. The. ovMawl dispatch of Thursday bro't advice that the fine and extenlive country between Hydrabad and Seringapatam, which had long been diftrafted by the ravages of the licentious and daring followers of ©oon , tah, have been restored to peace by the ju dicious Mid {jiirited exertions of colonel Dalrympje. The various, and in some in stances, formidable fortrefTes which freeboo ters pofiefied. er influenced, have all been carried, much .ps the plunder recovered, and the enemy obliged to fly into the hill country amongst the Conds for (helter. The troops are so disposed as to prevent any fur ther alarms, and the revenue collections in these newly acquired provinces greatly ex ceed expectation. By this conveyance con firmation has been received of the report which dated the defeat of Zemaun Sha by the §eiks, and of his precipitate retreat to Cabul by way of Lahore. The battle was fought 011 the banks of the Beyah River, and was attended with irnmenfe slaughter. It like wife announces that new Emperor of (Jlhina had rtndered' his government so extremely unpopular that vafl numbers of his peopl? had emigrated to the neighboring i Hands, J;:va, in particular, was crowded with these Refugees. The low parts of this ifl.ind have been afEUfted by an epidemical diforde'r which has oceafioned great mortal ity. The interior of the country abounds with bogs and morafics, and which during the rainy {tfilona render the air unwhole fame. Here the disease has been mod fatal. At Malacca tranquility has been restored, and the greater part of the European troops recalled. ' In November lad, a large party of Colle ries, supposed to, be supported by Gqpaulkid na, made an excurfton from Colloof into the villages of Ja'leputty and Jerdeputty,_ which they plundered, driving off about an hun dred headoT cattk-. The Ryotts, afliftedby a few Peons of.the Circar, colledted to op pose them ; an action ensued, in which the plunderers were victors, killing and wound ing several of the aggrieved natives. A few weeks before they attacked, in the neighbor hood of Aflitoor, some Gentoo merchants returning from the pearl filhery, and robbed tliem of pearls to the value of ioool. fieri. Whales of uncommon magnitude are da ted to have been d.ifcnvyred between the island of Ceylon and the Maldives, by the captain of a Bombay vefcl. The board of agriculture have dispatched Mr. Sriiith to the Eadern Isles, to celleft plants 'of thie nutmeg, eloves and other spi ces, M forming the intended plantations. Much attention is to be devotsd to their cul ture at Prince of Wales's Island, the foil of which particularly corresponds with that of Banda. » A great mortality has lately prevailed a iiongil the horles in the Southern Provin- The government is exerting itfelf to correct the prejudices and absurdities of the mtives in their treatment of this noble ani mal ; and, with intent to ar.J im prove the breed, h:.ve procured a coniidemble nun ber ..t" the fincft Arabian horses.

(hip Asia was on the lft of November nearly deroyed by fire ; (he wa3 loaded with cotton for China, and had rearly completed her cargo. The fire was fiift diicovered in her main hold, and had acquired such force that it extended rapid ly, and threatened to defeat every effort for its (uppreffion ; by the extraordinary exertions, however, of Captains Gibfon and Pope, the crew of the vessel, and the matter Attendant Anderfon, the flames were at leDgth extinguUhed. The supreme government are erefting in the neighbourhood of Poonah, a large pub lic granary, of entire masonry, to obviate the ditlrefs frequently experienced from scarcity. Rice recently experienced an extraordi nary and unexpe&ed decline in p.rice, on the Malabar coast. The military board are about to remove the powder work 3 from Mazagon, to a more eligible situation on the isle of Sal- fette. The boosts found io Tippoo's library were for the major part on the fubjeift of religion ; some of them are richly ornamen ted, aud illuminated in the flila of the old Roman Catholic MifTals in ancient mona fteriea. ■ The Nair», who since the revolt of Co ftiotte Rajah on the Malabar coast, have occafionaily been particularly troublesome in the neighbourhood of Coohlurgerry, are again in force, committing their ravages with-more thaiiufual daring. A detach ment from the Bombay regiment, and an hundred Sepoys, with some light guns, are in motion to dislodge thftn from their f»ft i ness in the Jungles, The fall of capts. Bowmen and Bond, in an ambufti of these marauders, induces, od the prefeat expedition, improved caution. *May 23. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. Wednesday morning the Earl of Thanet and Mr. Fergufon, made their appearance in court. The Noble Earl entered into a recognizance of io,ocol. and his Grace the Duke of Bedford and Lord Derby entered into a recognizance of jcool. each, for the Noble Earl's good behaviour, for the term of seven years, to commence from the expi ration of his imprisonment, which will take place on the 9th of June. Mr. Fergufon entered into a recognizance of 500!. and the Hon. Mr. Bland and Mr. Bofwcll in 2501, each, for his good behaviour, for the fame term. His Maj«dy observed to Mr. Sheridan at the levee en Wediefday, the great fatisfac tion he felt at the audience having remain ed in the Theatre during the confufionwhich took place on Thursday fen'night. It is luppofed that Mr. Sheridan attributed this, with a proper compliment, to his majedy's magnanimous composure, observing that any disorder, or retirement from the royal box, would have been attended by a press at every door ®f the theatre, and probably with the loss of many lives. His majedy's answer, however, is certain, for it was fpaken in an elevated and firm tone, and heard by the whole of the surrounding circle. " I be lieve (laid he) it might have been so j but I fltould have despised myfelf forever if I had stirred one inch—a man on such an oc casion, should immediately feel what is His duty." This remark was repeated through out the levee by all who heard it, and high ly admired by every person present. From a recent enquiry it appears, <t is said, that Hadfield, who attempted the life j of the king, has very lately been in the ha bit of frequenting houses known as tKe re sort of the most violent democrats, especi ally while the clubs existed ; and also that persons known to have been of that descrip tion, are not unacquainted with him, nor do they suppose him insane. On the other hand, those of a contrary opinion, and who haVfe also been familiar with Hadfield, do not produce any indances of his insanity, except such as are common to many others in a state of intoxication, such as a nsify and obdreperous behaviour ; but no previous aft of violence upon himfelf or any other person. Hence a person belonging to the lame benefit club, urging Hadfield's de rangement, was obliged to reply, upon being alked if they took madmen into their soci ety, that Hadfield u was not so mad as that.' Inquiry has also been made ints the length and the nature of the intimacy between Hadfield and Truelock, the cobler. This dangerous enthusiast, whom, it seems, Hadfield met at the review, has a p-openfity for dangling after, and tamper- j ing with, the military. In consequence of hie recent interference with the London mi litia, while upon duty near White conduit House, (where he talked of their, doing without a king, Etc.) he had a very narrow escape from being taken into cudody. In tracing the report that Truelock had been an occasional field-preacher, it appeared that his neighbours knew nothing more of his oratorical abilities, than he has, sometimes had half a dozen men at a time talking with him at the window of his stall, in White Lion street, Islington. May 28. A (entinel on the gangway of the Sampson prifon-fliip at Plymouth, in a vio lent gale of wind last week, was blown into the Tamar; a French officer, prisoner, of the name 6f Le Fevre, immediately jump ed into the sea, and with great difficulty, tho' an excellent swimmer, saved the drown ing marine, and swam with him along fide almost exhausted ; they were at length ta ken 011 board, and soon recovered. This generous trait of humanity being reprefentcd to the Britilh Government, a full paflport without exchange, was immediately sent ex press to the agent for prisoners of war at Plymouth, for Le Fevre to return to his friends in France without any expense, with a certificate of his generous conduft to the French Commissary at Morlaix. He failed last week in a cartel, and is arrived fafe at the above port. Sunday morning Major Cookfon's Com pany of the Royal artillery were embarked at Portsmouth on board his Majesty's Ihip Diadem. That (hip was afterwards to pro ceed {o Cowes, to rtc«ive on board, in company with the Tourterelle, of 32 guns the 92d regiment. The artillery have two howitzers and two fix pound field pieces; This armament is to fail with sealed orders, Io that their dedication is unknown. May 31. A rumour is in circulation that Madame Buonaparte is going to join her husband at Milan. ■> General Vandammehas arrived at Paris. He left the army in the bed difpolition— He is- going to command in the departments of ci-devant Belgium, where the Englilh ap pear to threaten a debarkation. In the answer retuyied by General MafTe na to the Summons of General Melas, he demanded a general amnefly, and free de parture far every one who (hould wish to quit Genoa ; confirmation of the sale of Genoese national property ; the free departure of the French army) with covered waggons, arms, baggage, ammunition, artilleiy, and other military (lores, partly belonging to the French, partly to the Geneefe republic ; liberty to the French army in Genoa to re commence hofltlities immediately on arriv ing on the French territory ; lastly, that after the departure of the French, the Au- ftria.ns do not inippCs a contribution on ,the city. These propoCils were totally rejciled by General Melas. FALMOUTH, Jane i.
