conquest of that delightful country; but the latter appears at present to be entirely bent on reducing to subjection the Nuwab of Buhawulpoor; and to have laid aside all thoughts of undertaking so hazardous an enterprize during the present season. A tragical incident happened on board one of the Company's row-boats, employed with Capt. Maxfield, in surveying the eastern passage. A tiger swam from the shore, sprung into the boat, and seized an aged man, a native, on board. An European presented his gun at the animal, but it flashed in the pan. A serang seized the animal by the tail, while another native struck him on the head with a hatchet. The blow laid his skull open, notwithstanding which he succeeded in retiring with his prey. 23. The Moira, a country ship from Bengal, arrived yesterday off the Isle of Wight. - The sloop Bombay, just arrived from the presidency of that name, spoke, on the passage the Rurich (a Russian vessel on discovery), Capt. Kotzebue, on the 23d Nov. in lat. 6 N. long. 22 W. bound to St. Catherine's. - Spoke the Philippa early in Dec. in lat. 24 N. long. 33 W. Yesterday J. Abdallah and Mumma Serang, two Lascars, were brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with being concerned, in a gang of their countrymen, in plundering various jewellers and other shops in the city. A number of persons attended yesterday, and identified the two prisoners, particularly Abdallah, as being most active in the practice of certain tricks, by which he and his companions effected their robberies. Not an article, however, of their plunder, has yet been traced, although the parties are well known to the pawnbrokers about Shadwell, Ratcliff, and that quarter. The prisoner Abdallah, it appeared, had dealt very extensively in those marts, no less than fifty pawnbrokers' duplicates being traced to him. The Lord Mayor said, that notwithstanding the failure of such proof as would enable him to commit the prisoners, he thought the depredations of too serious a nature to discharge them, and trusted, that by the activity of the offcers, and the appearance of some individuals who could bring home a charge of felony effectually, upon the next examination, the difficulty would be removed. If, however, they failed in this also, he would take such steps as would secure the public from further depredations on the part of this formidable gang of Lascars, by removing them out of the country. Unfortunately, we had too many thieves of our own. -. At the Admiralty Sessions, on Tuesday, John Swaine, alias Swinney, was tried for having entered the American service. He served on board the Serin gapatam, South-sea whaler, in March 1812, when that vessel was taken in the South Seas by the Essex frigate, Capt. Porter, when the prisoner, contrary to the admonitions of his captain, was enrolled among the crew of the Essex. It being represented that the prisoner was deficient in understanding, the jury recommended him to mercy. Guilty: death. 25. By the Duke of Wellington packet, which arrived yesterday at Brighton from Dieppe, a report was received that M. Lavalette made his escape on Wednesday night last, in his wife's clothes. Dec. 25. On Saturday the dispatches were finally closed at the India House, and delivered to the pursers of the following ships, viz: Lady Melville, Capt. J. C. Lockner, Marquis of Ely, Capt. J. Dalrymple; Cabalva, Capt. J. Hine; and Cumberland, Capt. T. H. Wilkinson. Passengers per Cabalva-For Bombay; Mess. G. E. Reade and W. Stubbs, writers. Per Cumberland-For Bombay; Lieut. J.B.

Bell, writers; Major J. P. Dunbar; Lieut. A. Manson. The Company's ships Lord Melville, Metcalfe, Rose, Atlas, Bridgewater, and Princess Charlotte of Wales were at Madras the 24th July. The country ship Moira arrived off Portsmouth the 22d instant; she left Bengal 7th July; the Cape, 19th Oct. and St. Helena the 3d November. The sloop Bombay, just arrived from the Presidency of that name, spoke on the passage the Rurich (a Russian vessel on discovery), Capt. Kotzebue, on the 23d Nov. in lat. 6 N. long. 22 W. bound to St. Catherine's Spoke; the Philippa early in Dec. lat. 24 N. long 33 W. 26. A private letter from Paris, of the 20th, states that the barriers were shut at eight o'clock on the preceding evening, in consequence of the escape of Lavalette. It is said that Madame Lavalette, after repeated attempts, obtained access to his Majesty to pray for a pardon to her husband. This his Majesty said he could not grant. She then prayed for an order of admission to her husband. This she obtained; and she went in and out frequently, in different dresses, and at different hours. At length her husband made use of one of these dresses, and escaped ; nor was his flight discovered for an hour after he had gone out, and left Madame Lavalette in his place. Madame Lavalette remains in prison. INDIA KNIGHTS OF THE BATH. The London Gazette of the 8th ult. announces, that H.R.H. the Prince Regent has been pleased, in the name and on the behalf of his Majesty, to nominate and appoint the following Officers, belonging to the service of the East-India Company, to be companions of the Most Hon. Military Order of the Bath :Lieut. Col. James Colebrooke-(omitted in the list which appeared in the Gazette of the 16th of September last.) Lieut. Col. Wm. A. Thompson, 3d nat. inf. Bengal. Maj. J. Ludlow, 6th nat. inf. Bengal. Maj. Robert Paton, 5th nat. inf. Bengal. Maj. Wm. Innis, 19th nat. inf. Bengal. Maj. Tho. Lowrey, 7th nat. inf. Bengal. The fees on the admission of Officers as Companions of the Bath are stated in a circular letter from the Herald's College as follows. No directions are yet given for the form to be observed when the investiture of the Officers takes place, nor is any time appointed. The medal is gold, enamelled in the shape of a star, similar to that worn by the Knights of the Order previous to the alteration, but with only four points. The extremity of each point has a knob of gold, and between are four gold lions passant, the whole forming an elegant appearance. This insignia will be worn suspended by a broad crimson ribbon, with a gold buckle, from the third button-hole on the left side of the uniform coat. DRAMA.

Letters received from New Orleans state, that the crops of Cotton had greatly failed. Sugar. The market continued without interes t till Thursday, when some Muscovades from the novelty attracted attention; they might be termed fair quality St. Lucia; the general price 78s a 82s; and, if the sale might be taken as a criterion, the prices may be stated at an increase of is a 2s; the sales towards the close of the week could however be made at the former currency. It was calculated the accounts of a hurricane at Jamaica would affect the market; if the destruction to the estates bear any proportion to the damage done at sea, it will, no doubt, occasion much alteration. The Cane was in the situation to receive most injury, being a short time previous to the cutting; and should it have extended to the southward of the island, may be of the most serious description. The deliveries from the Warehouse last week, 2975 casks for home-consumption, 341 exported. There have been few purchases of Foreign Sugars. Probably for some time the Sugars of Martinique and Guadaloupe will be brought to this market, the late Treaty with France allowing these islands to be retained till the adjustment of the claims against the French Government are settled; a proportion of these Sugars may therefore be expected; but there is such a facility in exporting to other Islands, and such a flattering prospect in shipping to the American markets, that the greater proportion may be sent to the United States.
