I arrived at this port yesterday, in 34 days
I from Bordeaux. A continental war was

They mention th« continuation of the war

oomeac to rh; mediation at a great powor
I (probably Prufiia,) for the continuation of
I peace, I« the event of a war, the neutrali

AUGUSTA, 9.
(Sc’KTKcr.t ex Inita our account
of the repuife oi lord Lake ia five successive
attacks epon the fort ofßhirtpore, the last
and strongest hold of the friends of tfolkar.
We find it has been attacked and defended
with cqal cbfttnacy, and though very fa
vorable terms have been offered to the Bri
tish. army, it is the resolution of the govern
or general* aad Lord Lake, to accept nothing
(h«rt of an absolute unconditional farrea
der. The Rajah, who holds out rgainft
our arms is said to have proposed paying
the cxpences of the war, and making a fur
ther present to the army as a bribe to pacifi
cation, but even this has been refufed.
ttreat treasure jV conoeakd in Bhartporc,
aad oar captains in India are better expe
rienced than to receve as a gift what mud
prefan tly be theirs by the right of «on
queft.
Many however are of opinion that, as
the war in India commcoeed from ambition,
it most fca!c its indemnity in plunder, and
that the inducement to the fiegeef Buhrt
pore was not so much a dtfirt to puailh a
guilty and fahhlefs aliy, as to acquire a pre,
text to leize his wealth by the law of
arms.
It is one of the misfortunes of the govern
ment of India tlm there is nofpeedy method
•f refraining its ambitbn, or enquiring into
thejuilicc ot its wars; and it is above all to be
lamented that the very spirit of the gov
ernment is predatory and warlike, and fa
vor-Wle to the worst paffiaas of those who
conduct i f . India is the land of cerqueft,
a coantry, in which every power but the
native power, has in turn had afwsy. In
dia like Egypt, ia doomed to be poffefleJ
us sovereigns whs have no other conn option
with the people but ia faftening a foreign
yoke ups* their nock, It is thus that a
governor gancral no sooner fct« foot upon
this land than h« is fill led with the fame spirit
of ambition, and is dofirous *f leaving be
hind h;u the fame memorials of conquests
and defolatiai, India, which we entered
as merchants, to bay Rations of traffic
from its peaceable inhabitants, by the fuc
ccffive acquifirions of governor's generals
from the asra of lord Clive to that cf Marquis
Weilefley, is now ours from the mouth of
the Indus .to the Ganges. A psopic, who
lived in the cities, and cultivated the arts,
whan our own anccftofs ata acorns in the ir
woods, are now become the Have# of a cor
poration of merchants, are hewers of wood
and drawers of water in their own land.

Capt. Skally, at the Lazawtto, from
Port au Prince, informes, that the Snglilh
have taken pcffeffion of Cape Nichola Mole.
Some of their (hipa went in for refrtfhmcat;
afterwards took poflslfion of the forts.
Thay have mounted guns on the fort at the
Mole hoad, which had been demoliftied by
the late government, and have fired at
American vessels palling there; and it ap
pears to be no loager a doubt with the empe
ror, that they intend t* hold that place.
