WHEN the Emperor yeflerday was at
tending the Te. Deum, an ar
rived with the news, of another viCtory, Lieut.
General Prince Hohenlohe,. who commands
in Transylvania, on the fame day of the cap
ture of Belgrade, beat a detachment of the.
enemy near Perenzeny, add on the
(October 8) all the Ottoman corps, of 10,000
men, with five cannons, undef the command
of the Pacha Cara Muftapha, who approached
to attaclt. Cara Muftapha, it is said, killed
himfelf, and 1500 of his men followed the
spirited example. Five of the enemy’s cau-
I non, .ammunition, from 40 to 50 colours, a
quality of arms, the camp, the magazine of
Vadeny, as well as that of Tyrgufchyl, have
fallen into the hands of our troops, who have
made a couriderablc booty, particularly of
cattle. Our loss is trivial; but the Prince
Hohenlohe has received a coutuficn on his
right thigh. He declares, that, at the con
clusion of the present campaign, the
advantages gained succeeded one another with
a rapidity Which is not !e(s glorious than afio
niihing.

autumn have been uncommonly fatal to the
Nobility, not less thapJ 23 Peers and PeerelTes

The Ealf Company’s sale of fine purple and
blue Eatt-India Indigo, coufittmg of yob
cherts, the average price of which was Ks 6d«
pdr lb. endeil on Thursday last. The quality,
as far as rcfpetis the consumer, is equal to
Spaniilj indigo, andjs confefledly allowed to
be much fuperiof to that which was firft re
ceived into the Company’s wareh«oifes.
The indigo imported by the Eatt-India Com
pany comes from Calcutta., It bids fair to
become very beneficial, as there is a moral
certainty of he fqpplanting the St. Domingo
trade in this article*, for which immense sums
have been hitherto remitted to France.

at this tempeftuoiis feafou of the year, is at ,

received on Saturday from HolUnd, of which
the following is an extraft t *
“ The bwedith fleet is again at fie?,’, pro
