GOA , March 15.
THE late Governor of Mofambique has been Tucceeded
by anew Governor, whocame from Lisbon in the
Gonceffao; his arrival has put an end to -that neutrality
that had existed between the islands of France and Bourbon
and Mofambique during the late adminifiration, his Ex
cellency the present Governor having ieized on four French
Vclfcls then lying at Mofambique. A moft daring attempt
ba lately been made by the Bouncela to get polie (lion of
thc.Portugucfe frontier fortrefs of Terracoil; the plan had
been concerted and carried on with the moll profound fe
trefy: and traitorous villain of a lbfdier, belonging to tlie
£xrrttbn, had been tampered with, and agreed to admit Cos
of the enemy’s troops into the ganilon at night, and the
whole was edefied without the smallest fufpicion* On their
having entered tlie fort the alarm was given, when in the
xonfution a few brave fellows flew to the Lieutenant Com
mandant's quarters, who by his judicious and gallant con
duff gave a fcvcte check to the enemy, and his party in-
foon completely routed the assailants, and the whole
were extirpated t* a man. lam lorry to inform you that
Vie brave but untortunate Lieutenant, towards the dole of
♦his bloody and dreadful feene, had his right hand (haltered
to pieces by a grenado bursting, which he was just on the

a Captain’s commilfioh to him, as a small reward for bia
gallaii try, but, poor fellow, he did not live to benefit by’
it. Die Padre belonging to the garriibn was among the
number who fell on this occasion, and his fate was rather
singular. The Bouricela’s people, aware of the superstitious
refped the Portugnele pay iu general to the clergy, had
lized on the poor Padre and placed him in front of their
party, supposing the facrcdnri's of his habit would prevent
the ioldiery from firing; in this however they were mistaken;

Tli* Gazette of Brunn aflerts, that the Ottoman army,

Paffwan Oglou that lie amuses himfelf by exerciling his
troops, and giving entertainments to his principal officer',
in light of the Ottoman advanced polls. This Chief has
only, as we areaflered, 15 or r 6,000 troops, while the army
ot the Grand Signior is at lealt 100,000 men, commanded
by an officer will known for his military talents. This

■Paris, July 15. A letter from Turin, July s,fiates:“ We
have just heard that the King’s enemies, Ligurians or In
surgents, attempted to lbrprile the city of Alexandria, up
on theTanaro, where they apjiear to have had private in
telligence: 1200 men from Sarravaille had advanced as far
am the banks of tlie Bormida, when they were attacked by
two fquadrans of cavalry, who put them to the rout, and
took fevera! carts loaded with pmvilions and fiores, and 3
pieces of cannon. At the moment in which the interveu
tion of the French Republic put a flop to hostilities with the
Ligurians the King was in possession of 17 towns of diffe
rent lizes belonging to the Ligurians, including Ports
Maurice ahd Diauo-. The Ligurians were only in polfef
fion of Serravaille and Garrofio, where the insurgents had
ellctbliflied their headquarters, and the town of Loano, the
inhabitants of which were for a republican government.

Auguft 20. The only mention yet made in the Redac

HOUSE OF LORDS.
Friday , August 31.
Earl of Farnham role, and having the Dublin Evening
Port in his hand, observed upon a paragraph in flirted in that
paper as an extract of a letter, which degraded the military
character of the Frazer Fencibles in a late fleirmiih with,
the French near Caftlebar——an accusation, his Lordfhlp
Bated, as not only a gross falfehood, but for which there
was not the smallest foundation, as he had authority to
allure their Loidflups that 110 men could behave with m<".r3
bravery and fpiritthan this body ol his Majesty’s army had
done upon that occasion. His LorcHhio strongly reprobated
this newspaper mode of villifying his Majesty’s forces, and
which merited severe punilhnient.
Lord Chancellor was pleased to coincide with Lord
Farnham, and allured their Lordfliips that the Frazer
I-encibles-had ached the very reverie ot what was stated in
that mifehievous paragraph, and in a manner highly honor*
able to their military c'uaradier.
1 he noble Earl spoke in applauding terms of the few of •
the Royal Irifti Artillery engaged in that attack, who for
the lliort time the Ikirmiffi lasted behaved with such {kill
and valor that they r killed upwards of 70 of the French, a#’
was acknowledged by ope of the officers of the latter who
was taken prisoner.
September 3. I'he check received by Cen. Lake is at.
tributea to a stratagem: A few of the peaf-intry had, frottf-’
fear or choice, joined the enemy’s forces; their clothe*
were made use ot to disguise the advanced guard of tlie
French, who thus furpril'ed the General’s out polls, having
been conducted by thole who joined them through an un.
frequented path over the mountains of Btllinagee to tho
well of Lough Conn, while tlie pal’s at Foxford to tlie east
ward was occupied by Sir Thomas Chapman after his re*
treat from Billina.
