THE MEDITERRANEAi+t. A Malta mail arrived yesterday.• His Majesty's Chip FsEntatossrcw, with her valuable convoy, had arrived out in safety; but it appears that the Medi terranean swarms with French privateers, which had taken six sail of merchantmen, whose names are as vet unknown. The SCOUT sloop of war has put into Gibraltar for r epair, after an action with two privateers, one of 18 and :he other of 20 guns, in the Gulf of Genoa. The ,41,15 w of the SCOUT and five men were killed. The Rosa, WARE, from London to Smyrna, has been taken by a French privateer, after an actiun of six hours, and carried into Cerigo. An American ve ,c e i from Smyrna, (supposed to be the Globe, Cap. , a i n WILLIAMS), had also been taken, and carried into ,he same place. The Thetis, CLARK, from Cagliari, has been taken, retaken, anal carried into Gibraltar. The Lucy, Wilson ; and Salermo, Phipps, from Malta to Liverpool, are taken by the French, and carried into Algiers. It appears by letters from Smyrna, under date of June '2l , that trade there was at a stand ; an account of the success of the French had reached that place, and the Turks were making every preparation to re sist both them and the Russians. The bisars (shops) had almost all been closed, to make way for a general It was supposed that in Smyrna alone, recruiting• lop() men could be raised for the armies. DUEL.—A meeting took place early on Tuesday noro i n g, in Bermondsey-fields, between Captain E. of the Royal Navy, and Mr. E. of Oxford -street, in consequence of some family dispute. The former was wcianded in the groin, and now lies in a dange roac state. The parties hare absconded. EtoroirN . r.—A young lady of twenty-three, of , the name cf Tibbs, doped from her parents, in the neighbourhood of Prince's -street, on Sunday night 3ast, with a sea Captain of sixty-eight. The amorous pair were married at a village near Reading, on Wed nesday, by licence. The bride, who is the daughter of a hi LA-maker, will shortly inherit five hundred poinkk a.year. Thursiay afternoon a desperate pitched battle was fought in Stepney-fields, between a sailor belonging to a Newcastle collier, and a journeyman carpenter in the service of a respectable ship-builder in the neighbourhood. They fought for nearly 30 minutes with in:abated fury, till the latter was, with seeming reluctance, obliged to give in. The victor was car ried off the ground, being, from the severe blows he received unable to walk. The fbilowing are among the last arrivals at Cheltenham lhe Right Hon.

A later from Dover, dated September 7, says— " Li , t nh;ht the Elizabeth, of Dover, HAYWARD, P,:7:ve,l from Morlaix, where she had been with French prisAners, from Gillingham, as was men ti• :It the time : one of whom died while the to sel lay here wind-hound, three died on their Ty.sage, and two inore were nearly dead on their arrival in Trance. When the prisoners were about to hurl, it was perceived they had secreted a great raather cf letters ; some had been sewed tip in dif ferent parts cf their apparel, and some concealed their crutches, which had been excavated for' I!.e purpo;e. They took great care, however, that should be practised on themselveN, :Ls w,tnen on board to search ours, seven in tul,riers' wives, who came back in the cartel. A Lieutenant in the navy, named Wallace, who was tal.cn prirrer on board the Minerva, about four years 5:1..•e, was the url r passenger, besides the people of the cartel. He ...as informed that several persons had lately been shot for refusing to join the army. T ;:e report there was the same as here respecting re;:ce being concluded with Austria, but, like us, thev had got no confirmation." short time. ago, Mr. RqscoE, of Liverpool, re i‘cti ar anonymous letter informing him that six !rives had been thrown into prisolby a Portu ;,-;:e0 Captain, upon alledged actions oraebt ; but in re1!::y because he found that they were free on their ronsal in England, and he hoped by this expedient to derai a them until his vessel should be ready to sail. Ifavin , ,-, verified the fact, Mr. Roscoe: sent a person to all the actions. An order was accordingly issued for the di:.charge of the prisoners, when it was disco vered that the Portuguese Captain had mustered about lrlj (f his countrymen to seize the blacks by force on their exit fro:n prison. Application was instantly niadc to the Magistrates, who took the Captain into custody, bound him to Ids good behaviour, and re- Erred the poor blacks to the enjoyment of thcir newly acyired liberty. As the parish church at Lcilds was undergoing repairs, the , :orkmen found a stone coffin, eon a complete skeleton, and the bones of two lir:lan subjects, under the inundation of the r..2ar the entrance to the bell-chamber. The col cut out of a solid block seven feet long, t .in:l a half deep ; its internal dimensions fict three inches in length, about twelve cs (icy a n d b etween two or three feet wide. The v - hich formed the cover, bore no inscription.— t.:le situation in which it was found, it must have ' ~ hat place ever since the church was erected, • rmac than 700 }cars. The air was so corn : •• .t - ltided, that the bones lentain as firm and ' • lately inturcd. -. ...•, • i ~ . Orders 'lave been received at Portcbester Castle, to prepare immediately stores for ten thousand men, for foreign service. Letters by the Walcheren Mail, which arrived yes. terday, mention, that General GRAHAM would be/eft in the command of that Island, with from 11,000 to 16,000 men. Ten sail of transports have arrived at peal from Walcheren, having on board about 500 sick soldiers, belonging to different regiments. An Officer on board one of the above transports reports, that when he left fhe Scheldt, there were upwards of ten thousand sick in the different islands in our poss2ssion. Other transports from Flushing, with the I I th, 79th, 59th, and parties of the Guarch.„9rtillery, and other Regiments, arrived yesterday at Harwich.— A great many sick and wounded are on board these transports. Lieutenant• Colonel DONALDSON, of the Guards, we are grieved to state, died at Harwich yesterday morning ; two other officers, whose names we have not learnt, are also dead on board the transports. The sick and wounded were landed yesterday, and a detachment of artillery ; the other troops were ex pected to be disembarked this day, and will imme diately march for•Colchester, Weeley, Sec. General LEITH is on board a 74, off Harwich.— He is, we are concerned to state, very dangerously ill. A cutter had just gone off to bring him on shore ; when the mail came away yesterday afternoon. The Union transport (marked FD.) W. JEFFERSON, arrived on Thursday at Harwich, from Flushing, with sick and wounded soldiers. The following officers are come on shore :—viz. Brigade-Major MACIUL, Capt. GARDNER (Staff), Lieut. Colonel DRAPER, Hon. Major BLACQUIERE, Capt. ELPHINSTONE, and Capt. TWISDELL. They appear to be perfectly well. Another transport (marked AI-I.) arrived on the same evening, with sick and wounded ; others were expected hourly. Captain SMITH, of the sth Regi ment of Foot ; Mr. SroKrs, Commissary-General r Capt. BROWN, of the 40th Regiment of Foot ; arid Mr. DAVIS, Paymaster-General, came passengers by the Lady Frances packet. The 2d Light Cavalry of the German Legion, which had been landed at Ramsgate, has marched in two divisions from Canterbury, for the depot of the regiment at Ipswich. The 2d Dragoon Guards, or Queen's Bays, with the 3d, King's own Dragoons, arc arrived at their former stations in Canterbury.—The 12th Light Dragoons has also been disembarked ac Ramsgate, and is to be cantoned at their former quar ters on the coast. The detachment of the 95th Rifle corps which arrived in the Hebe transport, has been debarked at Dover, and marched for the depot of the battalion at Hythe barracks.—These men appeared very sickly, but the cavalry not having - been landed are in general healthy. The 75th Regiment is under orders to march from Perth to Aberdeen, to replace the 91th embarked oz Foreign service. The following extract of a letter from an Officer in Lord WELLINGTON'S army, will not fail to afford considerable consolation to the relatives and friends of our brave countrymen, who, through the criminal misconduct of CuEs - ra, were left at Talavera : •` 14 miles from Trialllo, August 14, 1809. " We have just received a very handsome latter from Marshal Monier, expressing his intention of affording every possible as sistance to our Officers and men left in Talavera : indeed it does him the highest credit, and I am leippy to add that th,. way In which the french officers and men who tell into our hands were treated after the battle was not undeserving of the return they. have made us.—Such acts as these present a pleasing contrast to Cats severities of war." When the NErruxu left Martinique, about six weeks ago, the island was healthy, and they were then getting reedy to make an attack upon Guade loupe. The 4th West India Regiment, 13th, Sd Battalion of the 60th, and G3d Foot, remain i s the island. The Germans that were in the French service in Martinique have, generally speaking, enlisted into some of our regiments there. TO BRIGADIER-GENERAL. SLATE.

The Lion man of war, which conioyed the fleet from China to St. Helena, was left to convoy to Eng land the Bengal fleet, daily expected to arrive at that island. His Majesty's ship Liow, with tile China fleet Under convoy, sailed from Lintin the 7th of March, made Pulo Auro on the 18th, entered the Straits of Sinca. pore on the 19th, joined by his Majesty's ship Blanche, I Capt.

S. long. 94. the coun try ships CasElereagh and Resolution parted company, bound to Bombay, and on the 17th of Jaly arrived l at St. Helena. Thepiesent arrivals from India do not bring any positive information of the missing ships, of the last, or preceding homeward-bound fleets. During their stay at St. Helena, however, an American ship ar rived, the master of which reported, that three India men had been captured and sent into the Mauritius. He could not recollect their names, but it is conjec tured by some that these ships are the Glory; Experi- Ment, and the Lord Nelson, which were supposed to have foundered on or about the •26th of November * to the westward of the Straits of Sunda, Where they were last seen by the Albion in the greatest distress. Others suppose the captured ships to be three of the four missing ships of the last fleet, namely:. the Bengal, Calcutta, Duchess of Gordon, and Lady Jane Dun das. It is; however, generally belieted, that the last mentioned missing ships have pa into Madagascar, where they will remain during the prevalence of the periodical Westerly winds, and that, in the event of their haVing received damage, they will return to Bombay to le?air.

The poor fellow finding the coach was going down, sprang 'from the box, but having lost his equipoise by the suddenness of the fall, he unfortunately pitched on one leg, which was dreadfully shattered; I have heard it is broken in three places . Yesterday afternoon, as Sir Nun; HAWKINS was sporting on his Kelston Manor, with amend, the dogs made a point, and the gentleman jumping off his po ney in a hurry to get a shot, unfortunately his gun went off, and nearly the whole charge penetrated the Baronet's right side, lam happy to add, however, for . the satisfaction of Sir Joux's numerous friends, ' who may be at a distance from him, and will proba ,' bly Itave the first account of the accident through the medium of your excellent paper, that many of the shot have been extracted, and the Surgeons have a favour able opinion of their patient. WALKING MATCll.—Joseph \\racket, a private in the East London Militia, aged 67, fifty-one years of which he has been a soldier, backed by several Offi cers of the regiment, undertook for a wager of fifty guineas to walk four miles in forty minuter. The ground fixed upp was the Deptford-road, and Mon. day last the day of performance. In the interval, a veteran in the West London, in the sixty-first year of his age, backed by some of his Officers, started as a rival, and engaged for the same amount to walk the distance in less time than his fellow-soldier. From the disparity of years and appearance, bets run consi derably against WACKET . at starting, and continued to do so nearly half the way which the veterans walked abreast, and, indeed, hand in hand r but this appeal ing to the respective friends of the parties to be in compatible with the rues of rivalry and competi. tion, and as likely to terminate in a tie, they insisted upon their separating, and trying their strength and speed singly. For the remaining distance, the adva• . tage was evidently in favour of Wacket, who per formed his task in 38 minutes and a halt; bea-ing hi N antagonist by. one minute and 35 seconds, to the great mortification of the knowing ones, who had a difference to make good, to the tune of 600 g u uneas.
