We are now enabled to state fome par
molars refpeaing the late difagrceable
news from India. We are not yet in pof
feilion of the detail, although we have
received the Madias Gazettes down to
the qth of January last, which probably
may be precluded from pubhthing any
such news. . . ,
According to private letters received
from a gentleman high in the company’s
service in India, we learn, that the 25th
battalion of Sepoys, commanded by
capt. Grant, having been ordered to
Batavia, the troops refufed to embark ;
on which the governor general and coun
cil ordered this corps to be disbanded.
The troops refufed to deliver up their
arms ; the 29th battalion of Sepoys was
ordered againit them, and at length fired
m them,~by which several men were
killed.
Some days after, four other battalions
of native troops were ordered to Gan
jam, on the coast, but refufed to pro
ceed, until the 29th battalion was pun
ished for having fired on their compan
ions. The narive troops remained in
this Hate of mutiny when the latest ac -
counts left Bengal; and it is even re
ported, that the governor had ordered
all the artillery from Dumdum (not far
distant from Calcutta, and where a great
quantity of ordinance is usually kept)
.into the fort of Calcutta, as a place of
fafety. But we cannot vouch for the
truth of this latter intelligence.
Private advices from India also men
tion, that several of the Britilh officers
of the company's establishment were in
a state of mutiny ; that an officer of high
rank afts as their president, and that
they have a regular chain of correspon
dence throughout India. We (hall be
very happy to be enabled to contradict
these rumours,which are truly alarming,
but there is fome consolation in knew
ing, that the ship which carried out the
* regulations of our government, for pla
cing the company's officers on the fame
footing as the king’s, wasfeen going up
the Bengal river, as the Major Pinck
ney American ship was coming away.
PARIS, June 5.
It appears that the directory is about
to form several camps in the departments
of the low countries. It is reported al
so, that a canal is about to be made for
the junction of the Scheldt and the-
Meuse, which will facilitate the carri
age of merchandize.
Thecardinal Coftad’Arignano, arch
bishop of Turin, is just: dead. We are
allured that.his death was precipitated
bv the dread which he entertained of
feeing the French arrive as conquerors
at Turin. The pope who is older than
he, would do well to try the fame kind
of fate.
Our letters from Milan dated the 22d
of May, announce that the caftlc isclofe
ly invefled by the French army.
A proclamation confuting of ten arti
cles, publilhed at Milan by Buonaparte
*nd Saiicetti, annihilating the Aultrian
sdminiftration of Lombardy,has afforded

cy entirely composed of plebiens, excr
cifing all the functions of government
in the name of the French republic, lin
ger the vigilance and authority of the
military agents, to whom the magiflra
cy is accountable.
BOSTON, July 14.
Letters from Paris state, that it was

present they are removed.

Columbian jEufeum,
them have died in consequence of the
floggings they received by command of
the officers in order to compel them to
enlist. Often times they are put in
irons, and continued so for many days in
order “ to cure them of their obfhnacy ,”
to use the Britilh adopted pharfe.—l
with not to accuse our government of
negledllng this worthy class of citizens,
but their Just rings have been almolt too

PHILADELPHIA, July 22.
The intelligence from Martinique an
nounces that the fleet with which the
Engliffi promised themselves the con
quelt of the windward islands, is about
to fail for St. Domingo, which island
they entertain the expectation of reduc
ing entirely under their dominion.
They are momentarily expected at the
Mole, where they are without doubt
actually arrived ere this. They may
poliibly possess themselves of the coasts,
but the interior of the country will nev
er be in their poffeiiion, and they will
expole themselves by the meafuic they
have taken to the mortifying case of ren
dering useless all the forces sent to the
Antilles.

RIOTS IN AMSTERDAM .
By the arrival of the ftiip Three
Friend?, yesterday afternoon, in 48 days
from Amsterdam, We learn that tire in
habitants of that city were placed in a
disagreeable situation. There was a body
of citizens to the number of about 8 or
900, called cannoniers, of the lowed
class in the society, who were allowed
to wear lide-arms.
They had lately aflembled every night
in gangs, and ranged about the city like
mad-men, in several instances commit
ting murder. The municipality, justly
alarmed at these proceedings, gave or
ders on the 11 th of May for them to
assemble in front ot the Stadthoufe, and
surrender their arms. The cannoniers
aflembied on the day appointed ; and the
light horse, and the rest of the militia,
were ordered to surround them in order
to disarm them. Thc cannoniers, how
ever, remained firm, determined to sur
render only with their lives. With this
di(pofition they remained from 12 o’-
clock at mid-day until 12 at night.
At about half pad 12 at night, they
entered the Stadthoufe, and forcibly lib
erated 3 or 4 of their party, who had
been confined for murder ; who were
next day seem to parade the ftreet* of the
city unmolested. A body of h rench
troops had been sent for to keep the
peace of the city.
