Detail  At Madras, Vice-adm. Drury, Commander in Chief on that station. He had, two days previously, fixed, that the expedition against Batavia should sail on the 13th; and it is a singular circumstance, that the Minden, 74, which had been fitted out at Bombay for his flag, and the arrival of which at Madras he had been daily expecting, appeared in the offing just as he expired. The remains of this gallant officer were interred in St. Mary�s church, Madras, with every mark of honour, the following evening.
