ADMIItALTY.OPPICE, Copy of a letttr from the Honourable Admiral of the Bine, to the Hon. V' his Majesty's ship the attar, at • N. E. by N. four miles, Chassiron Sin—You will be pleased Commissioners of the Admiralty, is.— stant being at anchor to the N. W. of the Citassiron light-house, with the ships named in the margin*, the Amethyst looking out in the N. W. the wind being to the eastward, about ten P. M. I observed several rockets in the N. W. quarter, which induced me to get under sail and stand towards them. At eleven observed several strange sail to the eastward, to which I gave chace with the squadron until day-light next morning, at which time the strange ships were stand ing into the Pertuis d'Antioche, consisting of eight sall of the line, one of them a three-decker, and two I frigates. They hoisted French colours,.and conceiving them to be the squadron from Brest, I immediately detached the Naiad by signal to acquaint Admiral Lord Gambier. • The Naiad having stood a few miles to the N. N‘n made the signal for three sail appearing suspicious. I immediately chased them with the squadron under my command, (leaving the Amethyst and Emerald to watch the enemy) and I soon discovered them to be three French frigates standing in for the Sable d'Olonne ; I was at the same tame joined by the Amelia and Doterel. The French frigates having anchored in a position which I thought attackable, I stood in with the Cz sar, Defiance, Donegal, and Amelia, and opened our fire in passing as near as the depth of water would permit the Caesar and Donegal to go. The Defiance being of much less draught of water, anchored within half a mile of them ; in which situation, so judici ously chosen by Captain Hotham, the fire of the De fiance and the other ships obliged two of the frigates to cut their cables and go on shore. The ebb tide making, and the water falling fast, obliged the Defi ance to get under sail, and all the ships to stand out; leaving all the frigates ashore, two of them heeling much. They have been noticed closely, and from . Captain Rodd's report yesterday afternoon, they ap peared with all their topmasts on deck, sails unbent, main-yards rigged for getting guns out, and several boats clearing them. I fancy they will endeavour to get over the bar into a small pier, but I am informed by the pilots that it is scarcely practicable. The batteries protecting these frigates are strong and numerous. The Casar had her bowsprit wounded and rigging cut. The Defiance has all her masts badly wounded ; two men killed, and 25 wounded. Donegal, one killed and six wounded. The French frigates had been out from L'Orient two days ; and by Captain Irby's report, appear to be the Italienne, Calypso, and Furieuse. lam very confident they will never go to sea again. My chief object in attacking these frigates so near a superior force of the enemy, was to endeavour to draw them ant, and to give our squadron more time to assemble, but in this I was disappointed. I returned to the Chassiron at sun -set, and observed the enemy anchored in Basque Roads. On the 25th I was joined by Captain Beresford in the Theseus, with the' Triumph, Revenge, Valiant, and Indefatigable. I therefore resumed the blockade of the enemy's ships in Basque Roads, and shall con tinue. it till further orders. The enemy's force consists of eleven sail of the line, four frigates, and the Calcutta. The force un ner my command consists of seven sail of the line and five frigates. I have the honour to be, &c.

Extract of a Letter from Captain Seymour, of his Majesty's Ship Amethyst, to Rear Admiral Stopford, dated near Chassiron, Feb. 27, 1809. Yesterday the 26th the whole weighed from Basque Roads, and proceeded to the Isle d'Aix anchorage, one frigate excepted, which run aground on the shoals near Isle Madame, called Les Pallis ; and after en deavouring to force her off by press of sail she failed, and unrigged. The enemy are anchored from, to the southward of the Isle of Aix, to the northward of the end of the Boyart, with top gallant yards across, but not in a line of battle, or apparent order of defence ; and, I conclude, gone in from not knowing our force ; but seeing our numbers increased, they have a:third cable bent to the anchor in the main chains, and stopped along their side.

This is a case of considerable interest to the Royal Borough, of Scot Lind. The question is between Still and other freenter, butchers, against the Magistrates, who, under the general char. tern granted to the town ofAberdeen,thought themselves at liberty go empose a duty on all commodities brought into the borough t o , .4., and, accordingly, imposed a duty upon all rough fat sold h ) the butchers within the borough, which they cotisidered as an u. fringement of their rights as freemen, and teetered an action it. the Court of Session for the purpose of havieg it declared illegal. In this action judgment was given in favour of the Magistrate s; in consequence of which the present appeal was entered.

BILL. Counsel appeared at the Bar, and, in answer to the inquiry of the Lord Chancellor, informed the House, that it was not their intention to adduce any further evidence before their Lordships.. The LORD CHANCELLOR shortly observed, that after hay lag read the whole of the evidence, he did not perceive any ob. jection to the further proceedings on this Bill. The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be corn. matted to-morrow.—Adjourned. • HOUSE OF COMMONS. Colonel LONGFIELD presented a Petition from the Mayor, Aldermen, and Inhabitants of the City of Cork, praying, that in the bargain negotiating with the Earl of Ormond, by Government, for his right to the Prizage Duties on Wines in Ireland, the rort of Cork might be excepted, as the grant to the family of that Noble Earl did not 'extend to that port. Mr. Huremisso is and Colonel LoN Grip Lb briefly explained the nature of the case; and Sir ARTeUR WELLESLEY, aim ex. pressing a wish that the circumstance had been mentioned to the Irish Government before the negotiation with the-Earl of Ormond had proceeded so far, promised to pay every attention to the con tents of the petition, though if the right of the Earl of Ormond did not extend to the port of Cork, it did not appear to him then ne. cessary to make any exception, as, if the right did not exist, • could not be transferred to Government by the bargain. Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY then brought upthe report upot the Dublin Paving Petition, which stated, that the Standing Or. den of the House bad not peen complied with as to the object the Petition. Be then gave notice that he should to-mono , move for leave to bring in a Bill pursuant to the prayer of the Pt tition, because notices had been published, though not conforma• bly to the standing Orders of the House. Mr. HUSKISSON withdrew his notice relative to the contin ante _ of the one shilling and sixpence Duties on Pensions and ces, and gave notice, that he should on Friday, in the Commit,' of Ways and Means, move a resolution to that effcut, that bell the regular course according to the practice of Parliament. Ordered, on the motion of Mr.HUSKISSON, that there be laid before the House an account of the real value of all Exports flow the ports, of Gseat Britain to America, exclusive of the Unitt States, ift the years ending the 10th of October 11107 and 1805 respectively. The House, 6n the motion of Mr. HUSKISSON, went into Committee to consider of the Trade to and from the Cape of Good Hope; when ft was resolved, that the Chairman should ask for leave to bring in a Bill for establishing regulations respecting the trade and commerce to and from the Cape of Good Hope. The House then resumed, when the Chnkman moved for and obtain ed leave to bring in a Bill accordingly. A Message front the Lords acquainted the House, that their Lordships had agreed to the Bill for preventing the Distillation Spirits from Corn, and to the Bill for Suspending the Import 1 Spirits from Great Britain and Ireland -reciprocally, without and amendments, and also to the Irish Bank Note Forgery Prevention Bill, with an Amendment, in which they desired the cone" — of the House. IRISH AND grairsir CURRENCY ASSIMILATION. Mr. PARNELL gave notice, that he should on Thursday se'. night, move for the appointment of a Select Committee, to inquire and ascertain, what steps may be necessary to be taken, in order to assimilate the Currency of Ireland to that of Great Britain. REPORT OF n'AYS•AND MEANS. Mr. WHARTON brought up the Report of the Committee Ways and Means, when the Resolutions respecting the funding eight millions of Exchequer Bilis were agreed to, and a Bill order• ed pursuant thereto. MUTINY BILL. The SECRETARY at WAR moved the Order the Day for the further consideration of the Report the Mutiny Bill ; but as the new clauses which I proposed to introduce had been printed, and were the hands of Gentlemen, on a recommendation fro the Chair, the Bill was recommitted for the purpoi of making these clauses part of it. The House having resolved into the Committee, Mr. WHARTON in the Chair, The SECRETARY at WAR called the attentic of the Committee to the object of the first clause, which he proposed to introduce into the Bill. It was to enable the Commissioners of Excise to grant licen ces to persons holding canteens in barracks. Sur places of accommodation were necessary for the . freshment of the soldiers, and with a view to disci pline it was unquestionably better that they should 1' so situated as to be under the eye of their officers: This clause had been rendered necessary by the convenience which had been felt, when vacancies oc• curred, or new barracks were built, the Magistrat by whom these licences had been hitherto grantei not having the power to grant them but once in year. The same inconvenience was felt when person: who had canteens were dismissed. It became there fore desirable that the power of granting licence should be lodged somewhere independent of the usu: mode of granting them. n was difficult to provi against other than the military resorting to sui. places ; but every care should be taken to contini them to the accommodation of the troops, and trusted that no inconvenience would be felt in country from the operation of this clause. On the motion that the clause be made part of Bill, a short conversation took place, in which EDWARD KNATCHBULL suggested the pro priety of giving the power of granting the licences - any time within the year, when vacancies shot occur, to the Magistrates, rather than to the Com , missioners of Excise; and Mr. HURST Tecom , mended that the power of granting such licences, when vacancies occurred, should be restricted licences for military purposes, and that the present mode of granting licences for civil purposes shot: be preserved to the Civil Magistrates ; upon which the SECRETARY at WAR agreed to postpone consideration of the clause till to-morrow, when should be happy to avail himself of the suggestions cf the Honourable Members. The various amendments in the body of the and the new clauses were then gone through, the chief of which were the following : an amendment to ex , teed the exemption from billeting soldiers on a match, • to pr for Cite in , car vs.e4 s hould: ° nalties a n 10 e, of ePP trate, t '• before clause 1, P enalty n iissat .Q S u. dered •t y peak for 0 0; fro= • public u. tort' ts ; rec esc.
