SINGAPORE,

We make the following extracts from the Free Press of the 18th instant.

The Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleni- potentiary from the King of the French to the Emperor of China, embarked on Tuesday morning about 7 o'clock for the purpose of proscouting his voyage towards China. His Excellency was the Healdent Coupeller and other gentlemen, and attended to the landing place by the Honorable

BATAVIA→By letters from Batavia of date 4th instant, we learn that the Commander of the French Ship Joseph fell in with an English raasel which had got no Shure somewhere in that vicini- tv in a gala on 13th June, which he had visited and found deserted having a valuable Cargo on board. As the Captain could notdelay his voyage he communicated this information to his Agonis who immediately despatched a Vesoul for the pur- pose of securing all the property possible in ordem to earn the salvage, The Vossel was sent on the 22nd and had not returned at the above dute. "The position of the Vossal was kept a secret from the public, and even the name of it was concealed, but we learn that it was the Gondolier from Liver- pool bound to China.

The act of the Court of Directors of the East India Company in reculling the Governor-General las received its doom, and much cause for sur- prise indeed will there be if the power abused by The Directors (we now hore a right to my that. the power of rooal has been abused) have not re- ocived its doom alo.
