FURTHER Foreign Intelligence. By recent Arrivals» t. 0 N D O U. There is a fafhion which has for fonle time pall been beginning to make its appea rance ill the gay world that delerves atten tion more than' fame of the extravagancies in the dress if the fair lex, with hare occa lioned f» much ridicule. This is the moti ftrous anH unnatural attempt to lengthen the waist, and to lqtieeze the lhape into Ipmetbing' that refnnble* do created being ; fume thi tv.; as wi.h beilth, a* it is with beauty and gtace. The mod barba. rous favag.-s never pra&ifed a device more powerful to deform. The long waist, the cloff drawn (lay*, fetm Intended to comprels the body into the figure qf a I'ugar-loaf, with the cone inverted. What elegance tan be dilcovercd in this, vile farm, we are at a loss to which baa no fort of relation or connection with the other parts of the human body. A fpedtator must wonder how such a dead lamp came to be interposed between a perty face anda&ive limbs. It banilhes all cafe and grace of carriage and deportment ; it gives the idea of ftiffncfs Scconftraint exceedingly oftenfive to the beholder. VVe are astonish- Ed to fee this endeavour made to revive a fafhion justly exploded, a fa [hi on which is no less unfavourable to the dilplay of a fine perlon, than it is calculated to produce dis eases that mult soon overthrow the utinoft charms as countenance. The following are the particular observa tions made by the Emperor Paul, during his late r view of the Finland troops ; Firlt his Miijeitj. remarked, that the left column of tliefe troops arrived ar the place of defti nadon aconhderable time sooner than the right ; beiides expoling itielf to the fire of the enemy, without any cavalry or ch?.(feurs to cover tlu-ni, they had even fired upon their pwn cavalry in theii own retreat. Jn the reprimand given to the General on this occaGon, the Emperor remarked, tnat a fnnilar degree of inconlillency, and want of atten ion, occasioned the loss of two battles in SwitlVrland and Holland. To the 11oops, however, his ..liajefly or dered •'!) ext a pound of .neat and a glass ®i' bia yto each man.

Ihe Chartier, one of the India fleet just arrived, is said to be the richest ship that ever .arrived in Europe from India, being entirely laden with spice, £nd valued at half a million sterling 1 he Company'sships, the Earl of Aber gavenny, Duke of Buccleugh, l rue Briton, Alfred, Hindoftan, Hope, and WarL-y, lately arrived from China, have all full c-iVgoes. These ships have, we learn, brought a very seasonable supplX of tea, to the amount ot ten million eight hundred and fifteen thousand pounds weight. We learn from that the ship Eliza Anne had arrived at that Fort on the 23 d of March fr®m Eng land. Forty-one of the crew died du ring the paflage. On the 2d of Janua ry, being off the broken islands, on the coast of Aracan, the Eliza Anne, hav ing the Atlantic in company, was at tacked by a French privateer of conside rable which they engaged for an liouranJten minutes, when the enemy thought proper to sheer off; he howe ver made a second attack at day break on the following morning, and engaged them for near an hour, when he ma •fail from them, apparently much dama ged, and having two pumps goinsj, the two ships pursued her for a short time, but finding she greatly outsailed them, they gave up the chace. The Eliza Anne mounts only eleven long French six pounders, the Atlantic, fourteen 12 founders, the privateer carries twenty two brass 12-pounders, and is d scribed ' as a k>ng, low ship, witli 13 ports on a j side, and a very fad sa ler. The Cleopatra, Portuguese Indiaman j has arrived at Lisbon, from Calcutta, on *• her outward bound voyage, 011 the 6th of December last, near the Riffcs, fell ill with a Freuoh privateer, of 19 guns, •by which she was most furiously attack ed and an engagement ensued, which lasted two hours and an half within musket shot. The privateer twice at tempted to board, but was preveiKei by the firmness of the Portuguese com mander, whose well directed fire had such a good -effect ff, it was plainly seen she was in a [ incessantly working at both pumps. This brilliant action has been much ap plauded in India, a very valuable ship being preserved by it, the specie alone which she carried being valued at up wards of ioo,oool. besides the value of the ship and merchandize. The Mer chants of Calcutta, on hen arrival, made a present of 1000 guineas to the Com mander and ship's company. Domejtic Articks. NEW-YOivK, November 15 BELLES LETTRES.
