Whereas, by the fecond Article of the abovementioned Treaty, Maharajah Holkar renounces all right to the districts of Tonk Rampeora, Boondee, Leckherree, kar family; and the relations of amity being now reftored between the British Government and Holkar, the British Government is defirous of gratifying the wishes of the Maharajah to the utmost practicable extent, and of manifefting its folicitude to cultivate the friendship and good-will of the Maharajah; therefore the British Government hereby agrees to confider the provifions of the fecond Article of the Treaty aforefaid to be void and of no effect, and to relinquish all claim to the diftricts of Tonk Rampoora, and fuch other districts in their vicinity, as were formerly in the poffeffion of thẻ Holkar Family, and are now in the occupation of the British Government.

Lord Colling wood, in an introductory letter, fays, "The exertion and zeal of Capt. Prowse has on every occafion been diftinguished, and highly honourable to himself; on this he has performed an important fervice, in difabling fo formidable a flotilla of the enemy." Sirius, Malta, April 27. MY LORD, Being fix or seven leagues to the Eaftward of Civita Vecchia on the 17th inft. at two P. M. I gained intelli gence that a French force was to have failed that morning from thence, and were to proceed to Naples. I crowded a prefs of fail in the fame direction; and, at a quarter paft four, they were feen from the malt maft-head near fhore. On clofing with them juft after funfet, I had the fatisfaction of feeing one fhip, three brigs (corvettes), and five heavy gun-veffels (a lift of which is annexed), formed in compact order of battle, within two leagues of the mouth of the Tiber, and near a dangerous fhoal, lying to with refolution to await our attack. At feven, within piftol-fhot, commenced firing with vigour from both fides, and continued closely engaged with the fquadron for two hours, when the Commodore, in the fhip, hailed, "he had furrendered." His gallant and determined refiftance, together with the dangers of the fhore, and the crippled condition of his Majefty's fhip, (the smoothnefs of the water admitting the enemy to use their guns with the greateft effect), prevented me from purfuing the remainder of the flotilla, although feveral were much difabled, and compelled, a fhort time before the ship ftruck, to ceafe firing, and make off. Had it been day-light, I have no doubt, from the firm and gallant condu&t evinced by the officers and fhip's company, that we should have fucceeded in capturing more of the enemy's veffels. I have deeply to lament the lofs of my nephew, the only officer, and eight feamen and marines killed in the above conteft, and three officers, and 17 feamen and marines, wounded, nine of whom are in a very dangerous ftate. The fhip captured is called La Bergere; mounts 18 long 12-pounders, manned with 189 men, and was commanded by Chaney Duolvis, capitaine of a frigate, and commodore of the flotilla, and belonging to the Legion of Honour. She is a remarkably fine veffel, fails well, and is fit for his Majefty's fervice. I beg particularly to recommend to your Lord fhip's notice Lieut. W. Hepenftall, who was the fenior lieutenant in the actions of the 22d July and 21ft October, and who has been in the fhip nearly five years, ás an officer deferving promotion. The gallantry and good conduct of the other officers and ship's company likewise deferves my warmeft acknowledgments. I inclofe lifts of the killed and wounded. I am, &c. W. BROWSE. Officer Killed.-Mr. W. Adair, master's mate. Officers Wounded.-Mr. J. Brett, acting mafter, flightly; Mr. M. Lloyd, midshipman, badly; Mr. J. Robinion, mafter's mate, ditto. [This Gazette alfo contains an account of the boats of the Renommée and Nautilus, under the direction of Lieut. Sir W. Parker, having gallantly boarded, carried, and brought out from under the fire of the guns of the town of Torre de Vieja, and alfo from under the fire of more than 100 musketeers, his Catholic Majesty's fchooner Giganta, of 9 guns.] ABSTRACT OF FOREIGN OCCURRENCES. The Dutch papers announce the arrival, on the evening of the 17th June, of their Majefties the King and Queen of Holland, with the two young Princes, at their fummer refidence, the Houfe in the Wood!! The proceffion was made by torch-light. The people in general preferved a fullen filence. King Louis, in the fpeech which he made to their High Mightinesses, observed, that he accepted the Throne from a conviction that his appointment to it was the wifh of the whole Nation. He defcanted at fome length on the farrifices which he had made, by feparating himfelf from his family, in order to promote their welfare; and obferved, that that was the firft day of the real independence of the United Provinces." A tranfient glance," fays he, "at paft ages is fufficient to convince us that they never had a ftable GENT. MAG. July, 1806. government, or a fixed deftiny. Under that famous people, whom they fought and ferved by turns, as under the Franks and the Empire of the Weft, they were neither free nor eafy.-Neither were they fo afterwards, when fubjected to Spain Their wars, and their repeated quarrels until the Union, added to the glory of the Nation, confirmed its qualities in point of loyalty, intrepidity, and honour, for which, indeed, it had been always celebrated; but its efforts procured it neither tranquillity nor independence, even under the Princes of Orange, who, though they were ufeful to their country as captains and politicians, were always disturbing it, by pretending, or endeavouring, to obtain a power which the Nation denied them.-Nor could Holland be confidered in that ftate in later times, when the promulgation of ideas, and the general agitation of Europe, fo long fufpended the repofe of Nations.-After fo many viciffitudes, and at a time when the great States were enlarging themselves, ameliorating and concentrating their governments and their forces, this country could enjoy no real fafety nor indepen dence dence but in a moderate Monarchical ftate; a form which had been acknowle lged during a long period, and by each nation in its turn, as the moft perfect that the nature of man will admit.How ver (he continued), even Monarchy is not fufficient for a country which, though powerful and important, is not fufficiently fo for its pofition, which requires forces of the firft rank both by land and fea. It will therefore be neceffary for it to form a connection with one of the Great Powers of Europe, with which its amity may be eternally affured without any alteration of its independence." King Louis and his Queen left Holland for Wilbaden, in Wetteravia, to take the waters. He is to be crowned at Amfterdam, on his return from Wisbaden. A letter from Amfterdam dated the 24th July mentions, that Louis Buonaparte had in a numerous company ftated that the Negotiations for Peace now carrying on between the Courts of Paris and London included Holland, Spain, and the Allies of France generally; that they were proceeding with the moft amicable 'difpofition on both fides; and that he was affured, that the French Emperor would pay the moft friendly confideration to the interefts of Holland. SPAIN, &c. His Catholic Majefty has ordered, that the ports of his kingdom fhall be shut againft all Swedish fhips, fo long as their Sovereign fhall continue to make a common caufe with England. By a late order of the Council of Portugal, the prescriptions of Physicians are ordered to be written in the Portuguese language. ITALY. inhabitants are deterred from leaving their, houses for fear of being injured by the glowing cinders difcharged by the mountain. A great quantity of afhes has alfo fallen in Naples. King Jofeph has ordered that the perfons refiding near Vefuvius, who have loft their fubftance, in confequence of the late eruption, shall be indemnified out of the Royal Treasury. Those who no longer chufe to refide in fo dangerous a neighbourhood, are to remove to Apulia; a more fruitful, but lefs cultivated part of the country. Accounts from Naples, dated June 7, ftate, that the prefent eruption of Vefuvius exceeds any thing of the kind within the memory of man. The fummit of the mountain is torn to pieces; and the rim of the crater is quite altered, in confequence of the number of fiffures, to fuch a degree, that it is thought that in the course of a few days a whole fide of the mountain will fall in. About 100 houfes and eftates have been ruined, with large tracts of vineyard-ground, cornfields, &c. The Volcano ftill feems to contain a large portion of matter, as the fubterraneous noifes are dreadful. Flashes of lightning are emitted from time to time from clouds of fmoke. People are extremely apprehenfive that the Torre del Greco, with a population of 15,000 fouls, may hare the fate of Herculaneum. A part of the streets of Torre del Greco have already been inundated by the lava, which the inhabitants have removed with incredible fatigue. Still the stream continues to run very near the place; and the Buonaparte, as King of Italy, has ordered Paper Money to be iffued to the amount of fixty millions of fcudi, and has given it a forced circulation through his Italian dominions. On the 27th May, General Laurifton took poffeffion of Ragufa, under authorityof a Proclamation from Buonaparte.-In another, which the General iffued immediately afterwards, among other things he fays,-" I declare, that it is the intention of the Emperor and King to acknowledge the independence and neutrality of this State, as foon as the Ruffians fall have evacuated Albania, Corfù, and the other Venetian Islands, and the Ruffian squadron have quitted the coaft of Dalmatia." A letter received by a mercantile house at Rotterdam from Ragufa, dated the 20th of June, mentions the defeat of the French in that neighbourhood, by the Montene grins, fupported by about 4000 Ruffians. The Montenegrins, who are a brave people, occupying an almoft inacceffible country, have upwards of 30,000 men in arms. They were joined by fome Ragufan malcontents, and several Albanians. The merchants at Naples have been obliged to prefent all their books to French Commiffioners, and to give up all money, and effects in their poffeffion belonging to the enemies of the French Empire; under a penalty of arbitrary punishment, and ten times the value of the effects not given up. Mr. Scott, late British Conful at Naples, has been fent to the fortrefs of Bitfch, in Alface, as a prifoner of war. A letter from Rome, of the 7th ult. ftates, that Sir Sidney Smith had carried a reinforcement of British troops to Gaeta, and that they, in three columns, joined in the fortie of the 16th May. One divi fion, comprising about 500 British, took the Fort of St. Andrew, on the road to Naples, put most of, the French garrifon to the bayonet, and fpiked the cannon. Their retreat was intercepted by a French corps of greatly fuperior force, and in the engagement which enfued, 20 English and so Neapolitans were made prifoners. The Allied troops afterwards retired to the mountains, and it is fuppofed that their return to Gaeta is cut off. The two other divifions, divifions, under the immediate orders of the Prince of Heffe Philipfthal, directed their attack against the enemy's trenches, and retreated in fafety, after accomplishing their object. Sir Sidney Smith, with the boats of his fquadron, contributed greatly to the fuccefs of the enterprize.-Thirty thousand Sicilians are now under arms for the defence of that Ifland. The Prince of Heffe Philipfthal, at Gaeta, is reported to be encountered by domeftic as well as external enemies. He lately fhot his valet, who, under fufpicious circumftances, rushed into his apartment at night; and in the fellow's pockets papers were found which proved that he was fuborned by the French to murder his mafter. On another occafion, he precipitated a lady from the works into the moat, while fhe was in treafonable correfpondence with the enemy. The legitimate King of Naples has published an ordonnance in Sicily, importing, that the Neapolitans, French, and Italians, poffeffing estates or capital in Sicily, fhould enjoy their property unmolefted as long as the Sicilians and Neapolitans who have followed the Royal Family, fhall be maintained in what they may poffefs in the kingdom of Naples; but, fhould they not, he will make reprifals in Sicily. Milan letters, of the 12th July, mention the arrival of Cardinal Ruffo at Rome on a vifit to the Pope; the occupation of all the ports in the Ecclefiaftical States by French troops, and the French flag hoifted in the place of the Papal enfigns. It is again faid, that the Pope will refign the Chair of St. Peter to a Cardinal; and that the States of the Holy See will be added to the kingdom of Italy. The French Empire will then take a new title, and a confiderable number of Dukes will be created. Another report ftates that the mother of Buonaparte is to be declared Queen of Rome, with reverfion to her fon Lucien!-It is alfo added, that great alterations will take place in Switzerland, in favour of the Duke of Neufchatel. The twelve new Dukes of the French Empire, who take their titles from places in the Venetian territory, are not to have any fovereignty over, nor to draw any revenue from, their Duchies. They are only to have the titles, with the penfion annexed to each. SWITZERLAND. Four of the principal merchants in Switzerland, viz. Meffis. Falckeifen and Eckenftein, and Imhoff and his Partner, have been arrefted by order of Buonaparte, for dealing in British manufactures. The Diet of Bafle has received a projet from the Committee appointed on the fub ject of English merchandize, recommending the prohibition of all English goods, except fpun cotton. The projet has been fent back for revifion. GERMANY. M. Bourienne has officially announced to the Senate of Hamburgh, the acceffion of Prince Louis to the throne of Holland; the appointment of Cardinal Fefch as coadjutor, with thofe of M. Talleyrand and Marshal Bernadotte; and has been congratulated on thofe happy events. The Electors of Saxony and Heffe, having declined to accommodate Buonaparte each with a loan of fix millions of Dollars, are threatened with a vifit from the Army under Bernadotte. The acceffion of King Louis to the Throne of Holland has been officially announced to the Court of Vienna; but it is not mentioned how the information was received. In the interior of Auftria the people have been called out in divifions, for the purpose of military exercife; and the fyftem is to be perfifted in, until the entire population has been trained to the use of arms. The Emperor of Germany has ordered four camps to be formed in the Auftrian dominions in September, for the purpose of exercising and better organizing his army one is to be pitched near Wells, in Upper Auftria; one near Graetz, in Inner Auftria; one near Peft, in Hungary; and the fourth in Bohemia. The French troops now in Germany amount to 160,000 men, divided into eight armies. Diftrefs, poverty, and, epidemic difeafes, likewife continue to overwhelm the South of Germany. The unfortunate people of Ulm and its neighbourho d are in a state bordering on ftarvation. The French Emperor has ordered them a fupply of wheat and rye from his dominions. Owing to the great diftrefs occafioned by the ftay of the French troops in Bavaria, the King has poftponed his Coronation, which was to have taken place in October, till next May; and the Court does not remove this year to its Tummer. refidence at Nymphenburgh. Diepholz, in Hanover, which comprifes about 90 families, chiefly clothiers, has been obliged to fupply quarters to 152,706 French foldiers, and afterwards of 43,164 Ruffians and Pruffians. The place has, in confequence, been reduced from cpulence to extreme poverty. It is now reported, that Cardinal Fefch is to refide at Afschaffenburg. The works at Hameln and Erfurt are confiderably ftrengthened.The States of the Electoral Arch Chancellor, which now contain about 250 fquare miles, and about 111,000 A general change has taken place in the Ruffian miniftry. Baron de Budberg has been appointed Minifter for Foreign Affairs; M. de Kotzchubey Director-General of the Pofts; M. de Gurjew, Minifter of the Imperial Domains; Prince de Golitzen, Minifter of the Cabinet; and General Kutuzow, Chief of the Government of Mofcow, with a préfent of 120,000 rubles. Count Strogonoff, the Ruffian Ambaffador at London, is to be recalled. - Field-Marshal Kamenskoi, who always ferved against the Turks under Romanzoff and Suwarrow, has been appointed Commander in Chief of the Army. TURKEY. The Forte is now in earneft as to the means of increafing the number of its own fubjects, and diminishing that of the Chriftians. An Order has been iffued forbidding Chriftians of every denomination to build houfes in Conftantinople, or the fuburbs. Letters from Metrowitz announce, that the Turks have again penetrated from Bofnia into the Servian territory with fire and fword, not even fparing women, old men, or children. Thcfe inhabitants who have efcaped, have paffed into the Auftrian territories, and encamped in the environs of Metrowitz. The object of the Turks, who are 6000 in number, is, to raife the fiege of Schabatz. The fiege of Belgrade ftill continues; and the town is frequently set on fire with red-hot balls. An expedition has failed from Conftan-' tinople for Alexandria, under the Captain Pacha: it confifts of four fail of the line, five frigates, fix corvettes, with 8000 troops. The Ruffian Minifter at Conftantinople has fent orders to the Ruffian Confuls in the Levant, announcing the poffibility of a rupture with the Turks. ASIA. The late rebellion in Cochin China was organized on a plan fimilar to that which fome years fince connected the Correfponding Societies in this country. The Sooloo pirates lately made a descent on Balambangan, and maffacred the remains of the Chinese colony there. The pirates in the Chinese feas have be come fo numerous, that Sir E. Pellew has ftationed the Antelope and Teignmouth cruizers for the protection of the trade in that quarter. A famine lately prevailed in the neighbourhood of Paunghur, and thousands are ftated to have perished. Supplies of grain have been fent from Bengal; but the province no longer retains a fufficiency of po pulation for its cultivation. AFRICA. A letter from the River Gambia states, that Mungo Parke and his retinue (two or three excepted) had been murdered by the Natives in the interior. This is ftated to be verified by the arrival at Widah of the perfons who escaped. AMERICA AND THE WEST INDIES. Some alarming ravages have been committed in North America by a fpecies of Caterpillar. It is mentioned from the Head-waters of the Southern branches of Potomac, from the borders of James River, Culpepper, and Orange Counties, in Virginia, and in the ftate of South Caro lina, that thefe vermin attack only par ticular pots of earth, and confine their ravages, |
