Sir—l beg leave to enclofe for their Lord (hips' information, a copy of my letter of the 26th infiant, to Lord KRIM, giving a detail of a very gallant fervice performed by the boats of his MA. ray's (hip under my command, which reflefts great credit to the officers and men engaged in it, and the hard cafe of Lieut MATHER being obliged to relinquith the prize, after three hours poffeffion, will not, I trort, in the opinion of their Lordfhips, leffen the merit of the enterprise. (Signed) T. ROGERS. Mgacuar, off Ancona, May a 6, tBol. My Lord—Having received information by a fmall veffel I captured. yelierday from Ancona, that his Majefty's late (loop BULL Don was lying in the Mole of that Port ready for fea, with fup plies on board for the French army in Egypt ; I judged it neceiTary to make an attempt to take or deftroy her with the boats of the MERCURY ; and as our fuccefs depended upon furprifing the enemy, who was ignorant of our arrival in the Adriatic, (the fortifications about the Mole being too formi dable to juftify the attempt in any other way) I therefore made fail dire Elly for Ancona, and came to an anchor, loon after it was dark, off the Mole ; the boats were accordingly prepared, and left the (hip at half pail ten o'clock, under the command of Mr. WILLIAM MATHER, firft Lieutenant, from what good conduCt the BULL Don was furprifed and carried about midnight, the boats baying got along fide without being hailed by the fentinels ; the alarm was, however, immediately given along the Mole, to-which the (hip's (tern was fecured by the two ends of a bower cable, and three cables out a-head ; thefe were loon cut by the people appointed for that purpofe, and the boats began to tow, expofed to a heavy fire of cannon and mufquetry from the Mole, but as there was a fa vourable light breeze, the fails were fet, and in lefs than an hour the (hip got without reach of the batteries, and was completely ours, but unfortu nately it fell calm, and a current letting along the coaft near the (bore, a crowd of bOats (come of which were gun boats), filled with men, came out to attack her: Mr. MATHER now found his litua ation extremely critical, having the hatchways to guard to prevent the enemy riling from below, the boats' crews fatigued with rowing all night, and the gun-boats approaching fart and raking the (hip, he had therefore the mortification of feeling himfelf obliged to relinquifh his prize, after being in poffeftion of her above three hours, and unfor tunately faikd in ibveral attempts, before he re treated, to let her on fire. The moment I could dikover the BULL Doo was out of the Mole, I got the MERCURY under weigh, but ft was almoft a calm and impoilible to get near her, as, the had drifted with- the cur rent to a confiderable distance •from where .the MERCURY lay, and we experienced the mortifying difappointment of feeing her towed back to the very fpot from whence the had been fo gallantly taken ; it was neverrhelefs fome degree of fedi faCtion to know, that her voyage mutt be at leaft delayed for a confiderable time, if'not quite de feated, her malts and yards being (hot through and difabled in many places, and the has receiva.con fiderable damage in her hull and rigging, The gallant condua of the Officers and Men employed upon this little enterprise 'wilt, I trft, meet with your Lordfhip's approbation ; and'it Is from a defire of doing juflice to their merits that I have been drawn into this, otherwife unneceffa rily, long detail. I have to regret the lots of two. brave fellows killed, and four wounded upon this occafion. The enemy had above twenty killed, wounded, and drowned. (Signed) T. ROGERS.

As it contains tome ob fervations of importance, uur Readers will net be lorry to fee a fecond relation of that interefting event. They will not he furpri zed to hear that, fince our left account, the fhares are rifen to 1951. On Friday, the time fixed for opening the whole line of the Ga•ND Jv NCTION CANAL, the Commit tee of the Company of Proprietors, and their friends, chiefly Proprietors of the Canal, attended by the Officers and Servants of the Company, and the band of mufic of the Buckinghamtbire Militia, the whole party confifiing of near Soo perfons, pro ceeded at nine o'clock A. M. from Paddington, in three large pleafure barges, followed by feveral pleafure boats, with private parties. At one o'clock the proceffion arrived at Bull's Bridge, the whole length of the Paddington Branch of the Canal, a diftance of about 14 miles, where the Committee of the Thames Navigation, in a pleafure barge be longing to the Corporation of the City of London, and various other parties, in elegant boats, met the Grand Juation Committee, and their friends. A falute with cannon was fired from the barge of the Litter, and anfwered by the former. After an elegant collation, the whole party proceeded on their return to Paddington, where they arrived about half paft five, followed into the Dock by a long train of trading boats and barges, laden with various commodities. _ _ _ The regular and orderly entrance of the plea. lure barges and boats, and trading vetch, into the Paddington Dock, with flags and ftreamers, and infcriptions fuited to the occafion; the band of mufic playing; the repeated firing of cannon all the way from Wellbourn Green bridge; the fhouts and acclamations of confiderably more than 50,000 perfons aiTembled to fee the procellion; the peculiar providential fineuefs of the weather, in the midft of a fuccefflon of rainy days, difplayed a fcene of grandeur and magnificence never equalled in the opening of a Canal in this country. This fplendid fpeEtacle filled the public mind with the magnitude and importance of this bold under taking, and with the future profperity of the commerce of this kingdom by the Juncrion of all the North, North Lail, North Weft, and Mid. land Parts with the Metropolis, fecuring a cheap, eafy, and more certain and expeditious mode of conveyance for all articles, and adding energy and vigour to the extenfive manufaeluries now carried on in thole populous diftrias. The joy exhibited by ail ranks of people on this occation was gratifying beyond meafure to the Proprietors of this noble undertaking, who cannot bur feel a pride in having promoted, profecuted, and brought to maturity, within the laft nine years, during the whole of the prefent war, a work of great national importance, which cannot fail to be an everlafting monument of their meritorious ex ertions, by its daily increafing advantages to the trade of the kingdom in general, and to the inha. bitants of the Metropolis in particular, by multi plying the means of furnififing provifiems from the country on more moderate terms of carriage, and opening the road to more extenfive markets for all articles of the firft neceffity. After the concltifion of the procefflon, the Com mittee, and . their friends, with the Thames Corn. mittee, to the number of about no, repaired to dinner at the Yorkfhire Stingo, Li-Green. Pad dington, where an elegant entertainment was pro. vided, and where the attendant crouds were not forgotten. After many loyal and conftitutional walls, given with great applaufe, the dat of fail. city was concluded by drinking Soceefi to the ado,. wart to flial4lh the liVero Port of Ladas„. an nounced by the fi ring of cannon, which took place alfo after feveral other toasts. On Saturday fe'nnight, a molt :inkling event oc curred on the I.och oftaftle Douglas, in Galloway, in the view of a crowd of fpefiators. A party of four in a pleafure boat, with faille, returning be fore a gentle breeze from the eafi end of the Loch, and whin} apparently delighted with the furround ing fcenery, were fuddenly coifed into the water by the upfetting of the boat; when Mr. WV/ LLA It from Antigua, and Mr. Mauer; a Relief Mini fter from Glatgow, were both drowned.—Lieute nant Mac HA FYI s, of the 2I It regiment, who was in the boat, not only preferved his own life by be erg a &Mil fwinuner, but repeatedly dived for the others, and materially contributed to the faving of WILLIAM PATtI2OII. Every exertion was made by the fpeeators, Who in lefs the found the bodies of Mediu M'Lj rar ; and two medical Gentlemet ufed all the means for mitering . don prefcribed by the HVIIIILIK out ale& lan thirty minutes / .ILLa■ and Mor- ten attended, and farpeadad.aaima- Ta Mt yids.
