Since writing the above, we have received letters from his Lordini, under date the 28th ult. and Ift and 2d inft copies of which we have the honour to forward as numbers in the packet. Your Honourable Court will obferve, that it was his Lordfhip's intention to approach near enough to Bangalore to enable him to depofit the fick in that place, and to avail himself of the large fupply of provifions collected by Captain Read; after which he meant to proceed to the reduction of Oufloor, and to place the troops in fuck a pofition as to exclude Tippoo completely from all the principal northern paffes leading to the caftward from the Myfore country. The great fatisfaction expreffed by his Lordship at the efforts of this Government to affift in the arduous and important cause in which your arms are engaged, affords us the most fenfible pleafure; we feel the ne ceffity of extraordinary exertions at this eri tical juncture; and your Honourable Court may rely upon our affurances, that we will moft heartily co-operate with the Governor General in every matter dependent upon us, to enable him to profecute the war with the atmost vigour, and, we fincerely hope, with the most fignal fuccefs. Copy of a Letter from Earl Cormirallis to Sir Charles Oakley, Bart. dated Camp near Seringapatam, May 16, 1791. SIR, I HAVE the honour to inform you, that I had an opportunity yesterday of attacking Tippo, and of giving him a total defeat. The vicinity of Seringapatam, and the bat teries which he had erected on the northfide of the island, faved his army from defraction. His lofs of men, howevor, must have been very confiderable; and, befides a number of colours, we took four pieces of brafs cannon. The difficulties of my own fituation, in refpect to forage and provifions, and partieularly on account of the advanced feafon of the year, are not much relieved by this event, and indeed are very ferious; and the obftacles which this river prefents to a junction or co-operation, with General Ábercromby, and which had never been defetibed in any written or verbal account of it, appear at prefent almost infurmountable, SIR, am, with greatest efteem and regard, A true Copy, Cops of a Letter from Earl Coralie in Sur SIR, We arrived here this morning, and 1 fhall probably remain in this neighbourhood, for the puroof of thoroughly reconnoitring the forts of Severndrong, and of giving the Mahrattas an opportunity of employing heir numerous cav iry and fol lowers in fearching the extensive Jungles for the large quantities of cattle and grain, which are faid to have heen collected is them from the adjo ning country. approach near enough to Bangalore to enAfter accomplishing those objects, I fhall able me to depofit the fick in that place, and to obtain a fupply of fome articles of military stores hearing that Captain Read has arrived I am at prefent in hourly expectation of there with a large convoy of provifions; and, if I am not difappointe, my inten tion is to avail myself of that fupply, and proceed direly to reduce Ouffore, and to place our armies in foch a pofition as to exclude Tippoo completely from all the principal Northern Pafles leading to the Eastward from this country. I hope these measure, will perfectly fecure our own communications, and that they will also put it in my power to make respecting the troops of the Allies, without the further arrangements that I intended, any material inte ruption. I am informed, that Tippoo has taken Westward for the protection of the Maithe advantage of our being detained to the ratta communications, to detach fome cas but I think it highly probable, that, upon valry and infantry towards the Barramaul; his being acquainted with the direction of our movements, he will foou recal them. You will, I am fully persuaded, use evesy exertion in your power to provide us amply with cattle; and I must recommier è, that those which have been procured to the Southward of the Coleroon may be brought to the Prefidency as foon as poífible, to be employed in transporting grain and other article that we may want from thenee; and I must particularly request, that no pains be fpared to engage the greatthem; as it is to the deficiencies in that eft poflible number of drivers to attend foffes of cattle are principally to be attri clafs of people in the army that our lata buted. In addition to the fum that 1 formerly mentioned, you will oblige me by dispatch ing, without delay, fix lacks of rupees to Vellore, Extract of a letter from Major-General Abercroniby to Earl Cornwallis, duted Tillisherry, June 19. I had the honour of writing on the 14th inftant, by one of your Lordships hicarrahs, acquainting you with the arrival of the coras at their feveral cantonments. Before the end of the month I am in hopes to have the men under thelter; which I am the most anxious to haften, as they require much refitment from the late fatiguing duties they have been engaged in. The difficulty of procuring materials, and the full employment we find in erecting buildings for the men, muft prevent my affifting the officers, and will, I fear, oblige them to remain in tents most, if not all the moufoon. This, with the lofs they have fuftained, from the inclemency of the weather and the badnefa of the roads, in their baggage, their cattle, and their camp equipage, the latter of which, on this fide of India, is their own property, together with the dearness of almost every neceflary of life from the increafed confump tion, has determined me to continue the troops on Batta, until I receive your Lordhip's directions refpecting them. Notwithstanding the fatigues we have undergone, I am happy to acquaint you that our fick have not increased in the propor tion I had reafon to expect. In a few weeks, I am perfuaded, we shall be well refitted; and, with the recruits to be expected from At the meeting of the Royal College of Phyficians, the following Gentlemen were received Extraordinary and Ordinary Feb lows of the College, siz, purpose of founding a profefforship, and encouraging the ftudy of the Irish or Erf lan guage, for purchafing MSS. and books in that language, and in the claffical and modern languages, and fix annual premiums for the bett compofitions in profe and verle of the Irish, Greek, Latin, and English languages. 3.
