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 {VHiit of throwing amongfl the remaining few of the mil rreants.

His Excellency the Viceroy of Goa had dilpatchcd 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; ■he amor patria prevailed, and the unfortunate Padre fell, many others, on their firft fueT tfozoftNia, Juguf tic ’ ‘ TUC 4tli regiment of hussars palled the Rhine here this ‘Morning, and marc lied towards Siebourg, where it it said there will be a camp formed of 20,000 men.

Tli* Gazette of Brunn aflerts, that the Ottoman army, dispirited by the inefficacy of its efforts, has ceased attack ing Widdin, and has fallen back upon the heights, and into tlie woods surrounding. This- retreat has so emboldened 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 {{range disparity of numbers makes un prefune that there -•xifts lorn* fec.ct cause, wh.ch on one fide paralyses the Ottoman forces, and on the other inspires thofc of Paffwan Oglou, and all his adherents, with more than ordinary valor, founded on hope* more solid and more brilliant than tliofe of limpie rebels.

The only mention yet made in the Redac teur ol the Toulon fleet is in a letter of the 14th Tbenni dor, importing, that the English squadron is anchored at Syracuse and Agrigentum, after looking for Buonaparte in vain at Alexandria.

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.
