A very Curious and interesting civcum-
Stanc/occurred some time ago, which has
made :;reat noise all over India. On the
trial of col Mandeville, a native, it was dis-

sequence a warrant was issued to apprehend

Sir Henry, who possesses all the virtuous
intrepidity which a British judge ought to
have, clared the officer t touch col. Man-
le, threatened to commit him and his
guard, and at tenpth dismissed them witkout
their object being attained. A very active
correspodence took (dace next day between
the government and the supreme: court ; the
result of which was, that the former offered
in vain, to make an apology Tor the outrage
committed against the laws. In the mean
tune, sir Thomas Strange returned to Ma-
dras, colonel Mandevill'spera m was render-
ed sacred, and he returned to his own dwel-
ling in the Black Town. At the next ses-
sions Which were held, bills of indictment
by i'ne grand jmv, were found against the
town major, the Black Town adjutant, the
officers who commanded the party, and two
. or three others, concerned in firing the guns
at the boat and ship. These persons all
Surrendered themselves, and pleaded guilty,
except the town major, who did not appear.
This was on Saturday, sir Thomas Strange
declared, that if he did not surrender him-
self by Monday, the law would be put in
force against him; that is, that he would be
tied. On the Monday, however, he
'¦surrendered himself, was placed at the bar
arid like the others pleaded guilty. The
court having thus established 'he supremacy
oi the law, was satisfies1 with imposing the
slue of one fugado, and dismissed the offend-
ing parties w-.th an admonition which they
will probably long remember ; and thus
ended this extraordinary affair Lord Clive

that the whole 1 ilityof the transac-
tion e ted principally upon the town major.
The conduct of the judges upon the occa-
sion, has excited the admiration & applause
of all our settlements in India.

PEACE OR WAR ?
In order that they m.iy be acquainted
with the various opinions which obtain, our
readers cannot, be indifferent as to what is
said, in any part of the Union, on this im-
portant subject. We re-publish this even-
ing an interesting essay from Jackson's
(Philadelphia) Political Register, together
with some remarks from the Aurora. It is
unnecessary, at present, to state at length
our objections to either. The Baltimore
reader will observe, that the remarks from
the Register, relative to the evils of the pre-
sent militia system, if they be correct in
that state, they are entirely inapplicable to
the Maryland Law and Practice.
We copy the following article from the
London Times of the 22d June—the coin-
cidence of its date with the attack on the
Chesapeake, will be noticed.-—Phi. Reg.
" In consequence of the apprehension
of hostilities with the U. States, several A-
merican vessels are now detained by the
owners of the cargoes. Oi\ Saturday an
order was sent to the custom-house, requir-
ing immediate return of the amount of the
exports and imports relating to America."
London, June 23,
We have been credibly informed, that a
clause in the treaty now pending between
this country and America actually stipulates
that English agents shall be stationed in the
American ports, to see and grant certificates,
that all colonial produce bound for Europe,
has been unshipped and re laden in such
ports. We are afraid that a clause, so fa-
vorable to the British shipping interest, can
never be tendered palatable to the Ameri-
cans. [Times."]
General Moreau and Lady are now on a
party at Ballston Springs—it is said they

General Bo-wits. We have in our posses-
sion an account of the life of the celebrated
W. A. Bowles, from his hrst entering the
Creek nation, untila short time previous to
i/.u.e, and being delivered up to the
Spaniards ; written by one of his compa-
nions, who is now engaged in '¦nishing tlie
narrative, as conspiracies and treason at
present agitate the iniud of the Americcn
people, tins work, which fully developes
tlie views of Bowles, as well as the Spa-
nish agents, will be read, with no inconsider-
able interest. When the work is ready for
the press it will be announced;

A singular affair has occurred at Sczeko
chin, in Prussian Poland. Some week-, since,
the government there wished to have a
Polish Eagle painted, which was intended to
be fixed ay in trout of the town-house, with
great formality. However, as no painter
could be found there, one was sent for from a
neighboring village, in Austrian Poland ; but
as lie could not be provided with colors suffi-
cient for his purpose, he took tire Eagle
h ae wiili him, which coming to the eais
ot the Austrian commandant, both the Eagle
and the painter were seized and sent to the
tribunal at Cracow.. A letter was conse-
quently written to the Austrian commandant,
with some explanations, and requesting him
to think of the wife and children of the
poor artist, to which he returned the follow-
ing answer:
" I have the honor to answer your letter,
and inform you, that the house of Austria
can never super a subject of theirs to go un-
punished who has been accessary in promot-
ing any measures calculated to exterminate
fidelity in the bosoms-of those citizens who
have sworn fidelity to their lawful sovereign.
If the happy moment should arrive for Po-
land, when the Polish Eagle shall be re-
planted by a general peace, then every brave
Pole who would celebrate such an event may
employ as many Austrian painters as he
may chuse. At present reasons of state will
not permit Austrians to engage in this busi-
ness. Be assured, the wife and children of
this unfortunate man are net indifferent to
me." [London paper.]
