3 full and accurate account of their civil government, laws, and policy, is now the more deeply to be regretted, as our recent conquefi of all the Dutch polleflions in Cey lon, has rendered that renowned and valu able i?and, and the extraordinary character of its inhabitants, objeéts of infinite and in fiant importance to the commercial and political interefis of Britilh India. Thele objects will, doubtlefs, be attended to by the wifdom of our councils; and they are likely to be well pourtray'ed and developed, by the lucid and penetrating mind of the gentle man, who at prefent governs our territories in this illand.
