tTDLi. (-VROMTSE BENGAL HUKAItfl, Kept, 18, 1809.) REBUCTION OF BOW ANN IE. Our readers have for some time heard of the preparatiotTs which were on foot at Ilewarree, for the march of a powerrat division of the army agaiusta fortified town of great reputed strength illl the Uurriaiiaii country. An act of aggresion committed by the freebooters of liowannie on the baggage of a British detachment, and followed by a denial of reparation, equally insolent and lios- tile, had rendered this expedition absolutely ne- cessary for the maintenance of the British name, and the establishment of security and order in the long tract of dependent territory, situated between the Jumna and the Sutledge. Colonel Ball, with the force under his com- mand, appointed to this service, marched about the 20th ult., and arrived near the town of Bowanuie, or; the 27th. A summons was iiir- uiediately sent, with an offer of terms to the garrison, on which they were allowed twenty- four hours to consider. All proposals af capi. tulation being absolutely rejected, Colonel Ball proceeded to take up his ground for the reduc- tion of the place by force.—On the night of the 28fh, the whole British detachment was drawn out in front of Bowannie. It consisted of four battaliolli of Natiyc Infantry, one regiment of Native Cavalry, and 600 troopers of Skinner's irregular horse, with a powerful train of artil- lery. The force of the enemy, within the town, to whom these were opposed, was estimated at about 4,500 armed men. A party was immedi- ately sent down to construct batteries; and such was the alacrity with which this duty was per- formed, that they were ready to open their tire by six o'clock on the followinglllorning, Two eighteen-pounders, "two twelve-pounders, and four howitzers, continued to play oil tire town from that hour until noon, when the breach wa, reported practicable, and the arrangements were immediately formed for the assault. The troops appointed. to this service move;! iorward in two columns, by two distinct routes, one column advan' iiig from the right and the. "fl)c" the. left of the camp. The storming ;>art), on the right, was commanded by Colonei M'Gra th, and consisted of the Hankcolllpanies oi 'he 9ih, l()th, and 2!d Regimems. of. Native In aniry, and the battalion companies of the 9d¡. rllc left column v.a* composed of ihe Grenadiers ind Light infantry of the !8th, and 2:3d, and the fight Company of the 24th, under the coHimanti of Major SITitti. Before the storming parties could reach the avails, the desperadoes in the place had the less to sally out and attack Colonel M'Grath's 'oliiinn sword in hand. They were received with she utmost coolness by the grenadiers, who poiir- in a, steady and deliberate'fire, repulsed tÍJelL with great slaughter. The Sepoys then made ■heir way into the place, by clambering over the preach and scaling the walls, and, after some iiirfher contests, completely succeeded in expel- ling the enemy. The fugitives were afterwards pursued by the 8th Native Ca valry and Skinner's horse, who had moved down. parallel to the ex- ferior flanks of attacking columns, and now spread themselves over the. plain in every direction. the defence, altogether, was considered to be one of (he most resolute, within the recollection of the oldest, soldiers of the detachment. By the time the town was in our possession, the troops had been 12 hours under arms, and very closely engaged for the space of three hours and an half. The enemy left about 400 men on the plain killed by the sabres of the British Cavalry. Ilis entii-c loss was variously estimated at from 600. to 1,000 men. On our part we have to lament the death of a very gallant and promising young Omcer, Lieut. O'Brien, of the22d, Native Infantry, who fell during the charge made hJ the enemy on the right colutiii).-Il Lieut. O'Brien," says one of his brother soldiers in a letter now before-us, was universally beloved by every one who knew him, Natives as well as Europeans. He was the only officer who fell on this occasion, and never did a more honourable or correct man, or one more sincerely lamented, pay the debt to nature." In letters from Delhi, Cornet Cock, of the 6th Cavalry, is also reckoned among the slain, but the paragraph which we have now quoted, and which comes directly from the scene of action, affords a satisfactory confutation of that report. Lieutenant Jjuckley, of the 18111, and Ensign Playfair, of the 2:1th Infantry, were wounded—the latter in the arm. Cornet Byres, of the Gill Cavalry, is also mentioned, in letters from Aleerut, as having sustained some injury. The loss of tho Sepoys was much less serious on the whole than might have been expected, considering the determined resistance mauifesled by the enemy. TIle killed and wounded altogether did not. exceed 100; and of those the killed formed but a small proportion. Bowannie was considered a place of great wealth as well as strength. It is nearly three coss in circumfe- rence.

DREADFUL AVAL CONFLICT. (From the Madras Courier of October 18.) The Minerva sailed from Muscat on the 12lh of May, and on lite, 29111, early in the morn- ing, she discovered at a distance about 55 dows of Juaseinies, all full of armed men, and apparently steering towards her.—Capt. llopewood immediately changed his course ullder a press of sail, and thereby endeavoured to avoid then), but unfortunately (tie day lie ing a perfect calm; all his exertions were in vain: on which Capt. Hopewood then or- dered all hands on deck, and prepared for de- fence. When the Juasemies saw the Minerva chang- ing her course, tiiey set all sail, and with the assistance of their oars, gained very fast iipou her, and as they approached, tired some guns at her. V\t 10 a. -m. Ihe action com-' meiiced and continued for two; days and a night, during which time the Minerva destroy- ed 18 dows; 16 of which were sunk, and one burnt. At length the enemy gradually closed their y o dows arotind the Minerva, and, as they got alongside ot her, the Jnasetiiies ail at once hoarded her. Captain Hopewood bravely der felJdedhilllseJf to the last; he received a pistol-shot wound in his side, and other wounds on. his heiiy with a sword, and on his. leet hy a spear notwithstanding which lie continued to tight with the utmost resolution, and did not drop till he had killed four of the IlIraleswith his own hands. After his death the Juasemies began, to put to death every body who had borue arms; and when they had completed Itieir bloody work on deck, they discovered Mr. Bijaun David, the purser, and Mr. John Martyn, the supercargo, on the n.ain-top.f and after cutting them into pieces, threw lhemallgled fragments down upon the decks; after winch they descended, aud ga ve # f- i#i Tgiory to god for their triumph.—The second officer, Mr, Hate, liaviii,, lost some of his finders by a shot, and seeing no hopes of re- Jitrf, put an eui to hirtiself with a pistol; the ship's compary behaved very bravely, and were gallantlj assisted by au American gen- tieman, Mr. Btjauu David, the purser, and Mr. John Martin, the supercargo. The Ladies and women who were on board actively empbyed themselves in sewing and filling the bags of gunpowder. Several of the crew, amongst whom was the first offiter, saved themsefves by promts iug to becone women were spared by tic Jiliseiiiies, who promised to release tlrcmsafely. The ship was carried into Ilussulkharnia.

David the purser, Mr. John Martin the supercargo, and Mr. Chatoor, Arothoon passenger, were massacred, besides about 40 Lascars.

AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE. [Tile chai- (ictei- of- Bonaparte., which has been published from the celebrated oration deliver- ed by Mr, iudor, (A Cambrian) at Boston, in commemoration of the Anniversary of American Independence, was drawn with consulate ability. The following passages, with Tvhich the, speech concludes, will be fbund no less wuj-lliy (f attention. The fate of floilaiid, of Switzerland, the free cities of Germany, Venice,. Genoa, Geneva, and y»a;Ol,^er republics of Europe, is a twice-tald talk ibat has Leaomc wearisome'fa the ear and ii lil tut to the mind. Yet, that the world m ij not ant warnings, every year produces some more portentous, to rouse infatuation from its le- may not ant warnings, every year produces some more portentous, to rouse infatuation from its le- thargy. Let In estimate the policy of Bonaparte by a consideration of the state of Spain. The other conquests were perhaps necessary to his power. Those nations were unwilling to sacri- fice their interests and submit to his ruinous des- potism. But Spain, iu what maimer had she acted? Spain long oppressed by a variety of abuses, enfeebled by a train of corruptions, in the very dotage of despotism, could still boast that-ifie sun iievet- set oil he,- dt)inittions.' An enervated Court, though personally hound to avenge the destruction of the principal branch of their fa- mily, was one of the first to conclude a peace with the revolutionary Government of France.— From that period her blood and treasure have tieeii sacrilbd in the. cause of that country. yVkhout a single object of her own to gain, she sent her fleets to he sacrificed, exposed her co- lonies' to capture, and poured the wealth of America into the insatiable jaws of France. To Nipoleon the subservience has still been greater. The sword of Francis I. was surreu- dered-to him, and if therebe any choice among humiliations, one of the last which a nation i should be-willing to suffer is the surrender of national trophies of victory. In aid of his per- I alub, I ioi hesent the flower of her army to the north of Europe, to obey his orders, while with more: than f'rojah infatuation', she admitted his troops into her citadel's. Me wai, in the meantime, carrying distrust and enmity into the deluded family of the Sover- eign. A scene of in(riguc3 and changes followed, confused and mysterious, the relations of which conjure up ideas of secret perddy and murder, till we seem oppressed, as if breathing the pesti- ferous atmosphere of a He approaches to the frontiers, and invites IheliJ to repose ill Iiiiii, and Iiiiii to be tile rested arbitrator of their difficulties. Promises of frlendship and goodwill are showered upon tfieill,Iiio, grattj of the Legion of Honour are employed in giving the most solemn pledges of good faith and security to hasten the confir- mation of the blackest treachery. With incredi- ble infatuation, this bewildered family and their base favorites, confiding in him, who owed them so much, enter the territories of Fr;iii(-(--jio friend to theiii of the certain destiny that awaiís them. The guards once passed—the last of the Bourbons are prisoners to this soldier of chance, and llle empire ofSpuin and ihe Indies, their fortune, and fame, were lost for ever! He cannot alledge that he has done this to benefit Spain, and renovate her power, because it is notorious, lie could have dictated what measures he pleased to the Spanish Court. The same men who were held in disgrace by the Minister who had been so long the creature of France, were banished from all concerns in affairs, because they wished to introduce reforms. They are now at the head of their countrymen who have resisted the Invader, and who may yet drive him from their territory. The memorable defence of Sarragossa is a noble coutrast to tlie base trea- son and cowardice with which so many cities in other parts of Europe have been ceded.—Let the patriotic Spaniards persevere. What cause is desperate, when the situation of America in the winter of 1776 is remembered ? 11 If then, my countrymen, neither- the rihts of îndepeudent States, nor the strongest claims of strict, alliance, and personal obligation neither the fear of exposure, nor any respect for the opinion of mankind, can deter this man from prosecuting his plair of aggrandizement, what reasons have we to thinkourselves secure?—Our distance, the bravery and patriot ism of oltr eîtl- zens, will, beHthe answer. The distance, the rolling ocean, are the impediments with which drivelljhg, self-satisfied politicians have allayed our solicitude, flave Nye. not seen his armies besieging a town on the Baltic, dictating a peace to Russia at Tilsit, while another army was at the same moment menacing Sicily with invasion and do ,we talk of ? If l,liglaii(i were conqnered, would not her navy,which is now the first obstacle, become the ready means to trans- port his legions to our shores; unless we could be persuaded, that by sparing him the trouble, we should obtain better terms? From the hra- very and patriotism of our citizens, the noblest efforts would indeed be expected but even bra- very and patriotism may at last be crushed by numbers. Have we not reason to fear, too, that his-p;oi)eei-s vvoul(i )e ret(ly to sow (iii,isioii, ;in(I deprecate resistance? Or, can we liatier ourselves that we are the only nation he has, neglected to supply with spies and traitors? That his Minis- ten., who seem instinctively to know haw and when to dupe imbecility, and if a single latent, spark of treachery exists, are sure to strike it o(it, have left our country imassaileil by their arts? Let some of our newspapers be examined for the answer."

ACCIDENTS, OFFENCES, c. A most distressing accident happened last week Mr. Caskill, of Thornhaugh, near W a n s 1 o rd, N o r I h a m p t o I i s h i re, ac c o m p a n i ed I)y his son, a youth aouut. twelvcycars of pge, went out to destroy rabbits along with Mr. Wing, the Duke of Bedford's game keeper. About twelve o'clock they sat down and rega- led themselves in a close where some rabbits were running about, one of which' coming within gun-shot of Mr. Wing, lie aimed at it but unfortunately lodged the whole charge ill the head of Mr, Gaskiil's son, who, not ob- serving Mr. Wing's intention, got ill) at the iiist" t ie was pulling the trigger.

Stack, of Gurnseue, near Tralee, Ireland, was entered by 15 Tuffiftas, who, after tying the maid- servant and a ruau, demanded from Stack that he should deliver them a saddle, which was hanging up ih the kitchen but they refused to take it, unless he came out to give it them himself; this he declined, aware that the visit of so many villains ihust be made with a dif- fercllt intent than to deprive him of a saddle, especially as the rest of the family were ab- sent. They then made attempts to force the room door, which he defcfided for a Imw time with a pitchfork tat length, however, after bring three shots, they- gttcceeded in forcing an entrauee, and, having bound him, they robbed the house of cash and goods to the amount of near 2001. YORK ASSIZEs.-Frances Thompson, of Be- verley, was charged with uttering a two pound Bank of England Note, kuowing it to be forg- ed. Mr. Parke stated the case on the part of the prosecution, which was not a little singular, and which we shall detail from the. evidence of the only material witness. John Horner stated, that he was a c instable and a currier, at Hull, that he was sent by the Magistrates of that place fo Beverley, on theirilonnatilH\ of a, person flf the uamc ol South, fo ascertain wheihei the prisoner was a dealer in t()rged tiolt!,s, ati(i if qi,e (() endeavour to entrap her to the commission ot such acts as might lead io her conviction. » To effed this purpose, it was agreed that the witness and :*outh, who appealed to lies concerned iu the same traffic, should go to- gether, and that the wilues* should be intro- duced by South as Wis friend, and who was desirous to form a will) her; and the better to execute this design, the witness was instructed by Soulh in the slang of thfl^ profession. On their arrival at Beverley, thfl prisoner was sent for to the Plough Ion, an^ the wilness asked her if she would have a drop oi duff, (rum)., This was accepted, atul th0 witness then proceeded to enquire if shfl bad atiy fiobs. iii(I (rp-uuterfeif shil- lings -and sixoences )———Prisoner said she had, and would fetch some; on her return she broti^ it h\ > parcels, which she' sold to the wilness for a guinea.

Thus ended this unhappy woman's dream of greatness, No material fact came out on the cross-ex- amination. Mr. Thoinas Flover, a Bank Inspector, ex- arniuedtlte Two Pound Note produced by the last wilness, who had taken the usual precau- tions to identify it, and the Jury, without re* tiring, found the prisoner—Guilsy. IVillcheslr dssizes.—On Monday the As- sizes for the county of Hants, commenced at the Castle, in this city, before Mr. Chamhre and Mr. Baron Graham. The ca- lender was a heavy one, containing 48 prison- ers, many of whom were charged with capi^V offences. Joanna .Gaff was tried for the murder Wiliiam Sweatmau, OIL the parish of Holy Khood, in the town and county of SouthaitJP"- ton, from whence she had been removed by Habeas Corpus. This was a most extraordi- nary case j—Swfeatman, a shoemaker in South- ampton, was found in bis own bed-room* with his throat cut, and several wounds iu bi, body 5 hut there were circumstances in evi- dence of a coivilicliiig nature, so as fo render it doubtful whether he had himself infflieted these wounds in a state of insanity or.had bee murdered by another hand.

Northampton Assizes.—A cause was tried, in which au auctioneer at Peterborough ¡¡s Plaintiff, and ..L rarnler Defendant. llavi,14 sold some goods, he sent in a charge of 41. 15s. This tile farmer thought exorbitant. plaintifr iu a passion tore the bill, and after' wards sent in another, to the amount of 191. for which the action was brought and it ivas, contended that the eloquence and Latents 0, the auctioneer entitled bun to this sum-. lfho Jury, however, gave 31. 5s. the sum paid into Court. Morality of Buonaparte.—There are those. in this country, who siiy, that the actions au» conduct ot Buonaparte have not been woi's<j than those of preceding conquerors and heroes. Hut this assertion proceeds etitiriolli trom ignorance.of Ihe lives mid characters those wllh whom it is endeayoured to compare him.

The new Empress of France was to be deli. vered over to French Pienipoteutaries at JJfcinnan, on the 1.4th inst. and about'the 25th she is expected to reach Paris. Lord Melville ha justPllblished a Letter on t'ne subject ot the proposed Naval,Arsenal at Northftest, which reflects the highest honour t)11 his J.ordshlp'¡¡judgmenl, iufOl'rnalion, nnd foresight. He applauds the measure, and most justly, e lhiuk, maintains that it is ne- cessary to the maintenance of ot-ir naval great- ness. We observe that towards the close of his tetter he expresses a hope, that if Minis- ters do not chuse to undertake the construc- on of a Naval Arsenal upon a magnificent Scale, yet that, at all events, they will see the Heredity of huildingupoIJ a diminished one. sirmy.—'A reduction of the Home Slatrwill immediately take place.
