I EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM ON BOARD HIS MAJESTY'S SHIP GALATEA, CAPTAIN LOSACK, DATED ISLE OF PRANCE, BTH OF JULY. - - - " You have heard, no doubt, of the terrible action off Madagascar, with three French frigates, two of which we captured ; for the particulars of which, see the official report, which will react England at the seine time with this. The little time I have to write to you, will only admit of a few observations relative to this ship, which I know will most interest you. "We separated from our squadron the moment the dreadful conflict ceased ; but this concerned us lit tle, as there vas no fighting afterwards. We had four feet water in the hold, and the leak was fast in creasing. Our m ists were frequently in ffreat dan ger. Sixty-one of our complement were either killed or wounded. Seventy-eight shots were found in our ' hull and masts ' • fifty- fi ve of which were in the hull. twenty-nine on the starboard, and twenty-six on the larboard, besides several in the stern. Our First Lieutenant, Mr. Bevis, was severely wounded in the face ; the First Lieutenant of Marines was killed early in the action, having half of his head carried off; Second Lieutenant of Marines wounded, with the loss of his thigh ; Quarter -master at the wheel was cut in two by a shot, just as Captain Losack was ob. serving tp him, " Sharp work, Mr. Black," the Cap. tain himself had a narrow escape,—a splinter struck his leg, Another his breast, and the seat of his trow sers was completely carried away, leaving his shirt covered with blood. He was in every part of the ship, animating the crew in an unequal contest; and so you wilt say, when I inform you, that three Frenchfi gates were upon us for two hours and a half, in con sequence of it falling a dead calm just after the com• mencement of the action, which prevented the rest of the squadron trsun coming up, notwithstanding they used every effort to make way. The Racehorse ar rived first in port ; and, not finding us, it was feiired we had gone clown. The French people appeared not sorry for it, although they did justice to the hu manity of the Captain's brother, Admiral Losack, when cruizing in the Jupiter, who suffered their grabs to trade to Madagascar for bullocks, or they must have been starved. " We have saved Mosambique, which the enemy'• frigates meant to attack : it is capable of being made strong, but at present it has no garrison." Murnasa.—ln the afternoon of Wednesday, an elderly man 'of the name of Swinnock, known for many years as a coachman on the Ramsgate road, left Canterbury on his return to that place, with pair of horses ; when about seven in the evening, as two Gentlemen were proceeding along the road Irons Minster Mills, tow ards St. Laurence, the it attention was arrested by some indistinct groans, which, how . ever, passed unheeded, till they overtook a loos* horse with a saddle, and without a rider, which in• fussed them to return immediately to where the glows were heard, and on searching they discovered the alsosee unfortunate man, lying dead in a field a fey} rgds from the road, at a place called Thorn i with proper assistance the body was conveyed to the nearest dwelling, and on eriminAtion, two wounds, Appa rently from bullets, were perieived in his side, but excepting his hat and wig, which have not been foam), it did not iippear that he had been rubbed, there bring both money anti notes in his pockets. It is conjec tured, therefore, that being very deaf, he had not beard the demand of the t obbers to stop, :.nd that they in consequence fired at him, and afterwards drag ged him from the road into the field with intent tomb him, but were prevented by heal-in.; the appro..ch of a gentleman who, it was s lid, saw , f,e tiasi .sild heard the report of a pistol, and immediately rode to the aearest house, to give an alai rn. On the s eve+i jog, at nearly the above hour, a one horse chaise, iu which mere two persons, was stopped a , the corn r of the road leading trcm St. Laurence to Sandwich, and the parties robbed of some s a ver and a CI note (which it is said was a fictitious oiw). This robbery, comeined with the above statement, cxci es a stroi g suspicion that two privates of a nap the `.3.1 Light Dragoons, stationed at Ramsgate, and who de serted on the same evening in their stable dresses car rying with them their pistols, .re the perpetrators both f the robbery and murder. The deceased was a native of Ramsgate, and much respected in his line, for his civil behaviour and inoffensive manners. r 4
