The loss fuffered by the enemy killed and in wounded during the attempt to ilorm was very great. Srw-confident was Lord Lake of the capture of Buit-Pore, and the total extinftion of the war, that in hit Est letter to the Marquis of Wellefly, j he is (fated to have expressed himfclf in | the following terms : . ! “ We are preparing to attack Hol kar —All will be ovtr in a few days.

The letter of the emperor Napoleon, has at length been delivered to the grand Seignior, but not precisely in the man ner that thr French Charge t? Affairet, M. Parandier, and the interpreter, M Joubcrt, had desired. After the audi ence which those gentlemen had denun ded,-in order to deliver, pcrfonally, the letter from the emperor Napoleon to the Sultan, had been refilled, as contrary to the triage of the fublimc Porte, the charge d‘ AJfui) cs, Paratidicr, tranfnitted to the grand Seignior, by the Reis Lffet.di, a fecund note, iu which he rtpeated hi* [ demand, and even represented the con duit of thesniniffer as deficient in civil! ty. He added, that if the letter was ! not accepted in the manner he had re | quired, he had orders to demand pass , ports tor all the persons attached to the I French cmlially, and immediately to leave : Turkey v.ith them. Upon this, M. I Joubert was directed togO to the summer I palace, at Kiatana, where he met the ‘emperor in a walk ; wh:n one of the 01- ficera attending on the Sultau took the 1 letter, from the hands of M.

Hamburgh, lately prefeoted a note to : the senate, urgently demanding that m 1 gitlraey to uilcovtr and communicate to 1 hnn, the names of all the Frenchmen in that city, who had not yet paid their relpeils to him, as the representative of .the emperor, nor put tbemfelvts under his official protection. His tequell can not be refufed. It is expcCled that fomc measure of extreme severity will be in ! tlantly recurred to sgai.ilt the French | t migrants, at Hambu git. They will i be tvery one compelled to leave that city, I under pain of Liznre, conveyance to Fiance, and pumthment with death, ii they continue at Hamburgh. Perhaps domiciliation, as lubjeCts ot other dates, and the protection ot other mimfters,may not be enough to save them. The following letter from Dublin, sp praia in a morning paper of the 18th.— The Dublin evening Poit, a day later than the fuhjoined letter, docs not even hint at any tiling of a liiniiar nature. Dublin, June 12. Our government has cerminly recei ved intelligence, through various refpee tzblc channels, that (ymtoms of mlur gcncy have mamfefted themklvc# in the counties of KiLiare, Carlow, Wicklow and Wex'ord ; and that the 20th of the prel’ent m nth is the day on which more delperatc measures are expected to be declared. An advertisement of a “ White Her ft intended to be disposed of by public aucli.ui in the Mountains of Wick low,” has appeared in all the provincial papers, and is laid to be a notification of the intended revolt. In our paper of Saturday last, we gave the lubftanceoi the late ail’patches re ccivul trom the Eaft-lnuies. The fol lowing from iieuteuant Archibald M’Ncil, the gentleman charged* with tliele dispatches, contaius 3 more minute detail of the particulars of the gallant, though unfuccelsful attempt upon the f jrtrefs of Burt Pore ; “ —Sir, Havn.g observed fome ina-- curacks in the paper# with regard tc the tort ot Deeg, and the aflault ot the troop#, under Colonel Maitland, of the 75th regiment, on the fort of Burt-Pore, ou the evening of the 10th January last, 1 think it necessary to mention, that th. fort of Deeg was taken polLllion of ii the latter end of December latl, when Lord Lake moved with the amy a gah.ft .he fort of Jiurtpore* belonging to the U job ff that pint- ; L-ffkr.r -.,L ; hi- troojis having retired to it ; that ot- j the f-Aning of the loth January the > breach being reported practicable, Cel. , Maitland, with the flank companies of . the 2id and 25th regiments, and seve ral flank companies of native corps, moved to the assault. On arriving at the ditch they found it so full of water that it took the men bread high—this diffi culty was surmounted ; but ob coming to the breach they found it impraftica ble. The party retired in good order to camp. Colonel Maitland, after receiving several wounds, received a (hot, which killed him. Major Archibald Campbell, of the fame corps ; captains Hcfsinan and Brutton ; and four lieute- j nants, Eyne, Tuiy, Matthewzen, and j M’Laclan, were wounded 5 and forty , five non-commissioned, and rank and file, killed and wounded.

At fix in the morn ing liia excellency gen. Duroc, grand Matflial of the p:ilace, took the com mand of the palace cf the legislative bo dy. The members of the legislative bo -Idy assembled in grand collume in the hall of their fitting#, at 1 O’clock. The council of date proceeded at 1 o'clock from the palace to the palace of the legislative body, where they were received by a drputation of legis lators. This deputation conducted the members of the council to the places deffined for them. At half pad one, the empress arrived at the palace of the legislative body, accompanied by her Imperial highness the princess Eliza, by her ladies, and the officers of her houle hold., Her majedy was received at the outer door of the palace by the presi dent acd deputation of thirty members of the legislative body, and conducted to the tribune prepared for her. His Ma jetty’s train set out from the palace at two for the palace of the legislative bo dy. His departure was announced by a discharge of artillery. The way through which his train passed wa3 lin ed with troops. The procefiion was ar ranged with the usual pomp and accor ding to the etlablifhed forms, and pre ceded ana followed by a detachment of the French and Italian guards, and by Iquadrons of Mamelukes. His Majes ty’s arrival at the palace of the legisla tive body Was announced by a second difcliarge of artillery. He was recei ved at the outer door by a deputation composed of thirty members of the legis lative body, with the president at their head. The proctffion affcmbled in one of the halls of the palace, whence it proceeded in order to the hall of fitting, where the places were arranged in the following order ; his Majesty the em peror and king on a tkronc ; on his right, his fertne highness prince Eugene in a chair, two Heps lower than the throne; behind his majtfty on the right and left, two colonels, generals of the guard, the grand Marshal of the palace, the grand Major Domo, the grand Al moner and Marshal Moncey; back of the throne the chamberlains and the Freuch and Italian Esquires. The o ther officers of the court were (latiousd according to their rank. Opposite the throne the legiflutors were disposed in a circular form, their president in the cen tre, without any dillin&ion of place, but having two Hate messengers of the legis lative body, one on hi# right the other on his left. Before the legislators fat the council of (late on chairs, half on the right and half on the left. When his majesty was seated ou his thorne, the vvhoie were uncovered. The grand mas ter of the ceremonies took the orders of his majesty. The legdlators, summon ed individually by the chancellor, took | tlie oatb, after which the secretary of Hate read the statutes of the kingdom. | These statutes are eight in number, j The eight respetffs exetufively the ella. ‘ b!i(hment of a military order, under the denomination of The order of the iron Croitftiy and is divided into five titles. The order is to consist of five hundred knights, one hundred commanders, and twenty dignitaries. The motto is to be, “ Dieu me i'a dennee, gore a qui y touche ra.”—Vacancies are to be filled up eve ry year on ascension day. Fjur hundred : tboufand Milanese livres are to be appro priated to the order. Each knight to have 300 livres yearly, each commander 18co, and each dignitary 30CO livres. ’ One hundred thousand livres of this re venue to be let apart for such extraor dinary life pensions as the grand mailer thall think proper to grant to any knight3 commanders, or dignitaries. The king of Italy to be grand mailer, but the emperor and king, Napoleon, in consi deration of being founder, to retain, during his life, exclusively the title and lundlicns of the office. The Statutes were ligned by all the public functiona ries, and directed, by order of the Em peror and king, Napoleon, dated June 6, at his palace of Milan, to be trans mitted into the regifter* of the tribu nab admioiftrative authorities. Prince Eugene then was furotnon<*d by the grand mailer to take tlie oath as viceroy. He made a profound bow to tis majesty, and placed himLlf on his knees, on a cufnion, at the left of the ‘hrone, where, putting his hand on the aospel, he pronounced the following >ath ; “ 1 (wear to be faithful to the con stitution, and to obey the king ; cor L r ‘i my fu V-v.s till ri.r T j (hall receive tlie k ; ’ g’ c’ircdLojis there upon ; and to gi - e up iutmeciiatfly ill> authority with which 1 am’ inverted, to |auy pvrfon that (hall be deputed by him.” His majesty then addrefled the legis lative body, and after alluding to the various objects of internal regulations, which are by no means intcrefting, he proceeded thus ; “ I have neglefled none of the objedts upon which my experience in adminitlra tion could be ufeful to my people of Italy. Before I return across the moun. tains, I (hall go over a part of the de partments, to become nearerfcacquainted j with their wants. 1 (hall leave as a de l posit of my authority, this -young prince, whom I have brought up from his infan cy, and who will be animated with my spirit. 1 have besides taken meafure# to diredt the mod important affairs of the (late.

I think I have given frclh proofs i of my conllant refolutian to fulfil to- j wards my people of Italr every thing j they txpcdl from me.

However, the French squadrons have since obtained fuccefLs, to which I attach importance only because they must further convince my enemies 6fthe inutility cf a war which affords them nothing to gain, and every thing to lose. The divisions of the flotillas and the fri gates, built at the expense of the finances of my kingdom of Italy, and which at present make a part of the French for ces, have rendered ufeful services in ma ny circumflances. I preserve the hope that the peace of the continent will not be troubled ; and at all event#, I find myfelf in a position to fear none cf the chances of war—l (hall be in the midst of you the very moment my presence may become neceflary for the preferva tioa of roy kingdom of Italy.” west Indies.’ Fxtraflb from ‘Jamaica haters to the 2qth July, received at the Timet Office.

The gull of wind firming to threaten deduc tion to every thing around us, tearing up tree# by the roots and (hivering them to atoms. The (hip Pomona, capt.

The captain and crew fortunately saved them selves in the boat, which (lid from the deck as the vessel went over. A (kallop belonging to the (hip Hercu es, Captain Rising, that went out in the evening, has not since been heard of.” This mischievous wind has not confined its violence to the north fide, but has (wept over many of the mountains in the parilh of Port Royal, deilroyed a prodi gious quantity of corn, and plantains, and confiderabiy injured the coffee.

The master of the sloop president, that arrived on Tuesday, front North Caroli* na, learned, on the fi thing boati, off Turk’s lfland, that a French privateer had recently cut out a v-SU front her an chorage there. Off Tortuda the Hoop was boarded by a pilot boat schooner, with a motcly and ranfaoked of every article to which they took fancy, even to the fpeaking trumpet., lead and lead line. The firft salutation the master of the President met with on going on boan£ the privateer, was a stroke across the face with a speaking trumpet, from the erm mander, and a threat of ir.ftant death, if he did not discover where the money and other valuables were concealed, ■ While this was paffmg the marauder* were break ing open every’ trunk, lock ri and pack age, in the sloop, two of the people were iron;d, and the rr. dofely guarded, with a cutlass held to his bread. Two hand feme fowling pieces, every dollar they could find, every other moveable thingot value, with the clothes of all, from the captain to the cook, were the fruits of all their rapacity. A letter received from a gentleman ia* St. Elizabeth’s, dated 25'h current, fays,, the coast all round that part of the iflainr swarms with privateers, so that not a. vclfel can put to sea without the riik of being captured. * It appears now, almost beyond a doubt that a small (hip said to be taken, ir. fight of the Call end, on Sunday last, was the outward bound packet. An intelligent gentleman, who resides at Port-Morant decidedly Hates, in a letter to a friend, received by yesterday’s potl, that it was her, and that (he was carried by boarding after a warm aftion of two hours, with a large fchocuer privateer. The pursuit made by the port Mahou brig, there is every reason to cone ude, would be inef* efttual, as, if we are correct'y informed, the chafe did not commence till four hours after the enemy had pioceedcd with his prize, This untoward event has filled every j min with the deeped regret.
