" The ifland of Ceylon is garrisoned by
the King's troops, consisting of some Bri
tish and a number ofssnative seapoy regi
ments. 'l'he honourable Frcderick Noxth
si' is its Governon. The King seems ap
gprehenfive that the India dominions are
? growing too potent in their company mi
; litary establishments. He has forbidden
! the company to raise'a single recruit, and
ss will, undoubtedly, annex every new terri.
ss teria] acquisition, exclusively, to the imss.
perial domains. Should the company feel
disposed to set up for themselves, and play
]ohn Bull a Yankee trick, their two ar
mies would in a few years, by continual
si increase, be able to effect the brilliant at
chievement. 'l'he British Ministry, aware
of the posiibility of the event, have tho't
necessary to check the growing power of
the India company, while the eans re
main in their hands. Everyship from En
g!and brings out officers of all ranks, who
bear the King's commisiions, and supernu
meraries to sin up vacanci'es in the different
corps as they occur;
" At Madras we found a squadron of
ships of the line and friga tes, commanded
by admiral Ranier, which,. with a large
body of troops now ready for emba—rkation,
are defiined t') operate in—afecsiet expedition
Other ships, transports, &c. are ordered to
join this armament, and the whole are to
rendezvous at Puisio Pinang, or the Prince
of 'VValesct Ifland, with all posiible dis
.patch. Conjecture is busy in assigning tl e ;
[place on which the meditated blow will ;

i " The Ifle ofFrance, Batavia, and Ma

I I have seen C01.Burr repeatedly since I
have been here, and knowing that much
had been said to the southward relative to
his Opposition to the Federal city, I was
determined to ascertain what his true sen
timeuts on the subject were. I therefore
informed him of the reports which I under
stood to be' in circulation on that subject.
He declared them' in the most unequivocal
manner to be without truth or foundation,

You are, at perfect liberty to assure your
friends that he hassimade these declarations
to me, and for my own part-that I fully

Dcsaix are not appes {ed. 'lhat hemight

ing the battle of Mixringo trmeiied ..se
veral miles on foot by cross- ways. Buo
napartcwas with the adxanced guard—
aitcr having embraced him, the first care
of the General in Chicf was to omer a
bovse for his lieutenant-general. This
trait represents Desaix such as he was.
" I just now met the Austrian general
Zagg, prisoner cf war. He walks about
with his sword, his cross, his uniform, and
his cockade : he seeme extremely pleas
ed with the Parzlians, who follow him
at the public waiks with a laudable
czriosity.
" Rad'iations continue. I supped &
few evenings ago with seven or eight
emigrants tor Chouans. They are not
thirty years of age, and they have made
sevenoreight campaigns againsi the re.
ptsishlic, with which the) have made their
peace. 'lhcy are very agreeable, and
appear to be totally reformed: but our
aunies ere every where vicrorious. Buo
naparte, with much reason, has said
" France doe: afar): 'well to olzmiu victo
ries." It is in ease she should be "beat,
that a preper Opportunity would present
itseif to judge of the fidelity of the per
sons in question. I was the only patriot
at their supper—my neighbours gave for
a coast their ancient regiment, and in
vited me to drink it with them. I did so
without the least hesitation, out of respect
for the dead. A little while afterwards
I gave for my toast the 181st dcmi.bri
gade, which was "also my regimcnt, and it
was in the like manner drank with stank.
ness truly chivalric. There is now no ap
parent dgnger on that side.
" Amtdst all this Parisss is cmbeflish

council of ancient: respecting the , 'shuiL

is imppfiible to fancy any thing more fact

departmental column is elevating in the

withstanding what angry women (wh'ss
may have good cause) may say _ to the
contrary.. The .indecency which'they
pretend to find in it, exists only among
the indelicate women, who, in .every
dress, are always the same. But the ,pre
sent dress seems to have been drawn up by
a Grecian painter, Land 'We have here
Graces made to be clothed with .it.

Their dress is t 1e most ridiculous and in.
convenient.——The present fashion is a"
short coat (resembling a spencer) ;—-—the
collar .is as .long as the coat itself; the
pan'sialoonsareayard wide. Those gen
tlemen have in fact adopted the pecti
sscoats. They have the madness to wear
black coctckades. Government appears
to take no notice of it. In eight days
none will be seen. If it was forbidden,
the tresses and black coilanwar wouhl
begin anew. But this ridiculous combac
of a government against taylors is, thank
God, out osfashion. Buonaparte, in speak
