Some of the seamen who came on shot from the fk.et, report, that six privateers came into the fleet after they sailed, and they are fearful that they took tour or live sail, as that number are missing ; one of them a large ship belonging to Plymouth.— The convoy saik again this morning with a fine breeze at north.

Indies, affords us the satisfaction of learnini* that the Leeward Islands; and the ships on . the station, were healthy, and flee from fever. • . The Wanderer sailed Irvin Barbadoes on the sth or.6th Guadalcupe on the 16th ; and Antigua on the 26th October. She has brop;tit home the last convoy of the season, consisting of ' only seven metchant ships, and the William transport. Rear-Admiral Sir F. LAFOUBY, in the Dttadox, with tba. GLOIRE, was at )3arbadoes ; STATIMA. Tusuttx, and FL/MUSTER, at Antigua; and ORPHZUB at Gaadahupe. Sir ALEX. ! CocHnaNt, since he assumed the goVernment of G lla. daloupe, had preserved health. The only enemy's vessels in those seas •was the Duke de Dantzick pri vateer; she had been often chased, but none of our ships could come up with her. The TireTts, Capt. 'exam, CAS rou, Captain Du es, and FooLic sloop, Captain WItINYATES,. had been removed to the J.L. =aka station. They took on hoard 600 of the York Rangers, from I3arbadocs, for Jamaica. The strong . - fort of Bourbon, on the island of Martinique, ha been destroyed.. The William transport has brought the guns of the garrison to England. This design, it would seem , has been undertaken irrospectively.— Should the island be ceded, or taken by the enemy, it will cost them immense time and expence to restore. it to its former state of defence.

Rear.. Admiral Sir EDWARD Bvu.aa, BAIT. sat, as President of the Court, of which the followitts Post. Captains Were sworn Members, and toook their seats as follow, viz —Harvey, F:ahie, Dundas, Seymour, Schrombivg, Somerviile• Nadi, Tobin, Hawker, Richardson, Aylmer, aßrown. George Eastlake* Esq. Deputy Judge Advocate. Captain Ferris, of • the lliana, Prosecutor. After the Court had been .duly-sworn,.the first wit• nes called was Boyd, Ni to depitsed, that on the 25th of November kit, himself, with Cunt, the p. isoners, the Black, dtowned, and the three • nl4:sing people were put on board the brig, and directed to proceed to Plymouth, Which th.y dfd,.until the night of the 29th, or morning Of the Stith; when off Scilly, the di abolical plan was, put in execution.. That 'he and Grant bad the first watch, from 8 to 12, and Werere lieved at 12 by some of the pris 'furs. 'that et About three o',:lock he was .called by Joachin, but he did . . not a: tend to him; that he was call-d the second time, w:lcti he went upon deck, wit,:re he was told bY Joa chin and Baptia, they hail taken the vessel, and in tended t take her to France, and it be would join ' them he might: this offer he peremptorily refused, and called for Bolen, will did not Answer, he called _ . again, and was answered by one of the prisoners that Bolen was dead;—horror instantly struck him to the soul, he however called for Grant, vein answered very low ; on which Joachin told him as he was a poor seaman like themselves, he might go below`and they should reit hurt him; that he t' en went down the steerage into the c a bledier,'where he touni Grant, who had been previously called, up and asked the sa me questions. • Here their situation Must have been truly dismal, expecting eery moment to be murder ed also. They were kept as prisoners by Martin, who stand sentry over them Kith Mr. Andrews's sword. Bid further states, that th,re. *as citify a sliding door which parted them a - iisi tha- eabai, where they saw a body covered over 'wee a quilt, and lying on 'the floor, which was afterwards removed en deck and . throten overboard. That In the ;waning, at day light, they heard •a voice frils ; at 4itck say, he saw two sail in chace, acrd abou - beech:a, they heard the boat lowered frum the stern, and tow off;. that after the boat was g.,ne, Boyd loot‘d ,uis deck, and per ceiving but Beetist, Mildest' n,hind Williams, he Said to Grant—.S 4 N. wis our tune to go oat deck and• throw the 111 .A (B obit), treeisaerd e assidiecure the other two," with which Gram compiled, and they both went up : by this time the vessels were near them, and they were about seven miles from the Saints island, standing quite on upon thelind; for some miii. Utiles they (the witnesses) appeared to take no notice, Net on B iyik observing the lore-top bowline loose, he desired' tie Black to haul it taught, and he went to assist, with the hope of getting an opportunity to throw *lent overboard ; but not finding an advanta , geoui oilpertunity then,' he walked behind him • to wards the' stern, and observing the main-mast topsail Sheet gone, he desired him to haul that tiught, when the desired moment presented itself, and he caught i the Black by the heels, and threw him outside the Cbulwark, where the fellow clung with his hands to I the rigging, 'and, with his teeth to Boyd's thtintb, which - he bit almost off. On Grant observing this he ran to Boyd's assistance, and struck the Black on the ; head with a stick, and knocked Inns overboard. That he (Boyd) then went to the helm and seized Milling ton, tied his hands and set him on the deck—that Grant, at the same moment seized Williams, and set them side by side on the deck ; when they stood the vessel off the hold to near 'the frigate, and to avoid the Black still swimming. That the Aquilon's boat boarded them soon after, when be related to the Lieu tenant what bad happened, and was then taken ou board the Diana. The next witenss called was Grant,whodeposed es aitly to the same effect. Both of them gave their evidence in the most clear and steady manner. Many other evidences were called, the whole of whom corroborated the two former ones ; when the prosecution closed. • The prisoners were then admitted on their defence; Mattin first, for whom the Court was cleared, that some gentleman might write his defence for him—it was soon'after re-opened, and his statement read ; it merely contained attestations of his innocence. Joe ' chin was the second, who said he had nothing to say. Mililneon was the third ; he gave a clear and distinct narrative of the horrid affair, (rem the first moment to the time they were retaken, which was nearly as follows:—" That on the morning of the 30th of No vember last he came on deck to relieve the watch, at twelve o'clock, where he saw the prisbner Joachin, 'and the black, Baptist, sitting on the windlass, and conversing together, but of what he knew nut, lie being at this time at the helm. Martin was standing on the deck, and so was also Williams : that he had not took this station above half an hour before he saw Joachin and Baptist come aft; Joachin went below, and brought up an iron crow bar and an axe, and presenting them both to Baptist, tell him to take his choice—that Baptist chose. the are—Joachin then went along the deck, and Baptist into the cabin.— , Joachin went behind the Master's-mate, who was sit ting on the Main hatchway, covered with the main, sail, and asleep—that Joachin struck him a blOw osi the head with the crow bar, with which the poor fel -low fell back, apparently dead ; he then struck him on the head and halved his skull; he strock him many other blows abont the body—that he thin went to the companion ladder, and calling to Baptist in the' cabin, he told Lint ,fu_ heae a hard and slash away, (meaning to kill the Steward, Mr. \Vint/land) . to which Baptist answered, 'tis all done=wlien he, Mill lington, heard the ale strike against she deck every blow, but that he did not know thrts . htii any inten tion to commit any murder, or etrelt they were' goaig ab, u., when Joachin came on deck with the weapons in his hand : that Joachin 'And Barist.then came on the quarter-deck, advising who they Should next dispatch; and after dAibetating about a quarter of an hour, they ddei mined on the old quarter-master (Mr. Bolen.) .'That Joachin immediately. went below, and called him from when: he lay asleep in the steerage, and mld him, he yap wanted ou deck directly, with .which.he complied: that, ortj his coming up the ladder, •Joachin *mod at the top, and, with the very axewith which Baptist kiLed Mr. \Viusland, he struck fire a mortal blow . cidethe si le of the head—they then proceeded to take Min up, anal throw him overboard, which they aticoraplish ed, and also threw Mr. Andrews, alter stripping him, overboard that they then. called Grant, being pre paid], should he make any resistance, to kill him also, and asked him. if he would join them, saying they had taken the vessel, and intended taking her to France? he (Grant) refused; on which they told him to go below, which he did ; they then called Boyd, and to him they put the same question, who also re fused. and was likewise told to go below, which he ciamplied with : that Martin was put by Joachin (who stood Captain) ! . o stand sentry over Boyd and Grant, and not to toiler tl:em to .tome upon dick s that at day-light Baptist went on deck, and said he descr;ed two castles on the land; on which Jo:ichin went aloft, and said it was two men of war brigs in chace of them ; that on their nearing them they descried them to be iiigatet : that, at eight o'clock in the morning, they could plainly see the Diana frigate to be °ate of the vessels that were in chace of them ; and Martin and Joachin, in consequerce, took the boat from the stern, and made toward the land: that, as soon as they were gone, Boyd and Gr.mt came on deck, and appeared quite easy •for some time; that Boyd ? at. length, began to give orders to the Black (Baptist), who did as he was told; that Boyd told him tb haul aft the maintop-mast stay asil-sheet, and .whes. the Black Was belaying it; Boyd eatthitn in his arms and threw him overboard s that d then proceeded to secure himse:f and Williams, which he aid: that the main-sail, deck, cabin.B ior, and many other places were covered with blood ; that just before day light Martin had gone into the cabin and tied nrope round the middle of the biedy of Mr. Winsland, which they hauled up thmugh the ckylight, and after strip ping, threw the I >ody overboard ; his head was cut to mummy, not the least resemblance of a head was there left • and that, for his own part, he should not hate j'.ined,: but was threatened to be killed it he did not. • Williams was the fourth who entered on his dc fence: he sta!el nearly the same as Millington. . None of the. prisoners stated any cause that led them to commit this .diabolical act. They were of course found (nifty; -after a most paiient investiga tion, and accordingly were sentenced to suffer death on board such ships and at such lime as the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty shall be p'.eli.ed to ,*direct. The awful sentence, although rend in the most inui pressive manner by the J MOE ADYICATF, had not the smallest effect on any one but Millington, who cried much, for which he was jeered byWilliarns, who told him that hanging w.is nothing hut tlioaking.. . The PRESIDKNT, before dismissing the Court, took the opportunity of returning thanks to BOYD and GRANT, for .their brave and seaman•like conduct while in such perilous situatirn ; end said, he hoped it would never be forgot by those present, and that ' them high and meritorious behaviour deserved the greatest praise. gOTTINGH'IM RIOTS. The late3t accounts received from Nottingham state, that in the immediate vicinity, the only mischief recently 4.l:;ne is one frame destroyed at Basked, three at Huckdall 'rorkard, fcur at Arnold, and five at Eulwell. It has been more extensive in-Derbyshire; for on Saturday se'nnight, near Ptiaridge, 18 frames were broken vend several destroyed at Ripley on Wednesday night. The reason publicly circnlated for the frame-breakers again visiting Pentridge iss that some hosier had intimated his intention of *fetching the whole of his frames from the village, and that their visit was to deter him. Two lace-frames at the house of Mr. B. Topham were destroyed, and one of his own slightly injured, on account, as is supposed, of his going to the church, and ringing the bells to alarm the vill ige. Precautions for the protection of property continue both at Nottingham and the surrounding villages: Lord Middletnu's Hall, where arms' are 4podt .01 ,9 has been guarded for 17 successive nights, lest . erey should fail into the hands of the rioters; Odd a Ur tub is placed at the top of the hall, to set fi:e co, as si signal, in case of alarm. The fairest prcspeet, how ever, for returning peace, presents itself; the Work• men in the frame-work knitting-trade . ,ate *idea ju soliciting the manufacturers for a redress of griesr antes, and a concordaney in prices ; the latter - Tem:l'e favourable ear to such solicitations, and we under stand on Friday held a meeting at the Exclrange-hall, on the stibject.—After such favourable appearances, it is painful to record new aggressions . . Two stacks, one tit straw and the other of corn, belongingta Pepper, were on Friday night set fire to at Basford— the tormer entirely consumed, and of the latter 'only a small part saved. We are informed, that on Thursday a frame was broken at Bury n. The depredators escaped deteetion, though horse and foot soldiers were in the village.
