On Tuefday next, therefore, we may expect the refolution will he voted, which is to pave the way for this deferable nbjett. The Tax on pr ivate Breweries is to be taken entirely out of the hands of the Excite. A few day ago the boats of the gyFBEC frigate boarded and captured three 'ails in the port of Norden, belonging to PruaLi, about eleven miles north of Embden. The frigate afterwards (*deiced a fort, drove the men from the batteries, landed fime of her crew, and brought away three of the guns from the fort, with her three prizes, which have fince arrived at Yarmouth. We are happy to add, that this fervice was atchieved without a tingle individual belonging to the Q2ENIC being killed or even wounded. We have at lenrth received fome intelligence of one of theiffient fqoadrons which the enemy boafl of hav ing at fea ; we allude to that which flipped nut of Cadiz, at the beginning of March, a corvette helnng ing to which, it may be recolleEted, was cut off by one of our frigates. The Adela arrived at New York, on the srh of May, from Cayenne, in 24 days, where the had been embargoed, from the 25th of March until that time, in confequence of four French frigates and three brigs having arrived there from Cadiz. It is not impinba ble but this fquadron was deftitied to form a jun&ion with that of PHU/el a Brat AAAAA e, and to carry fuch fupplies to his divilion, as it might have bad oceafion for. The Danifh Company's (hip Anne Prinfon, arrived off Dover on Monday evening, failed from China the gth January ; paired the Cape of Good Hopc isth March; arrived at St. Helena Both ; failed from thence 6th April, and left there waiting for convoy, the BAR INC).

We have been favoured with the follow ing extrad from a letter received by this opportunity : " Canton, Jan. 3,,806. The Commander of an American, who arrived here five days ago, Rates, that form French dips of war were lying at Manila, fo espeetation of being joined by Admiral Hearst ma, and three Duteb (hips of the line; and it was generally believed to be their intention to attack the China Fleet on their way home. Although this I. communicated by an American, it is generally credited here, u be is known to be a man of undoubted veracity." When we left Malacca, Sir Eow*ln Fait art had received Information of a French Sect having arrived in India, in conk. quence of which, he bad collefted together the whole of Ms Naval Force, and had failed from the Malabar fide in quell of them. • . 4 j tS10•11T 6.—The finial CASTLE parted with the fleet the day we left the Straits of Macafar; the bad weather experienced in the Pacific Ocean, and her having a feanty fupply of water, makes us more anxious for her; ft is certain the fails very badly." _ _ _ The Gazette of lab night contains a notification, that the blockade of the Trave is ordered to be dif continued. This was a neceffary confec,uence of the orders previuully iffucd for fecuring the uninterrupted navigation of the Baltic. The Gazette alto contains tome admirable inflames of the aliivity and gallantry of Britifh fcamen. Lord Cocuaaws's attack upon a French frigate of fuperior force, proteaed by bat teries, though not crowned with final fuccefs, refleas the higheft honour upon this cnterprifing Comman der and his brave crew. In our firft page we have inferted a curious article from the French papers, refpeCting one of NAPOLEnN's emiffaries. It is• perfedlly calculated for the me ridian of Patig. and extravagant and improbable as it is, will there p►obably find fome believers. It is one of the delicate modes by which the flatterers of the Emperor infir,uate the magnitude of his power at,d the fplendour of his glory. New York Papers to the 4th ult. (four days later than thole we announced yellerday) have come to hand. Ti ey contain no farther particulars relating to the Unto' tunate event off Sandy Hook. The LE ANDER and the CAMBRIAN retired from before that roadllead, or , as it expreff_d in the New York Pa. pas, " railed the blockade of that port," and re turned to Halifax on the sd of May. Thefe Papers indulge lets in invective againft this country than thofe which reached us yeflerday, and we have every hope that nothing ferious will ref Ult from the death of the American failor. The bell proof that can be given of the American veffel refuting to comply with the ufual cullom, is the circumftance of her having aitually ran into port even after the man was killed, nftead of coming to as required.

This bring the anniverfary of his Majasry's birth day, the morning was uthered in, as ufual, with the ringing of bells, and the Park and Tower guns were fired at the nfual hour. A Drawing• Room was held at St. James's, previoufly to which, the following Ode, written by James Ns, Efq.

In addition to the Sepoys in garrifon there, four King's regiments were lately ordered from the Guzarat and the interior of the country. - It is an event devoutly to be wifhed for, that Ad miral Jattosis may fall in with the fleet which left failed for India. The bell difpofitions for fuch an event were made by their able Commodore before he failed from Fagland. In addition to the King's fhips, every Indianian in this tket carries at leall 3o guns, and they were well manned.

Sir—This motning when dole to L'lfle Ais, re connoitring the French fquadron, it gave me great joy to find our late opronent, the Black frigate, and her companions the three brigs, getting under fail ; we formed high expe&ations that the long wifhed for opportunity was at laft arrived. The PALLas re mained under topfails by the wind to await them ; at half paa eleven a (mart point blank firing commenc ed on both fides, which was feverely felt by the ene my. The main top fail yard of one of the brigs was cut through, and the frigate loft her after fails. The batteries on L'ltle D'Aie opened on the PALLAS, lied a cannonade continued, interrupted on our part only by the neceffity we were under to make various tacks to avoid the Ihoals, till one o'clock, when our en deavours to gain the wind of the enemy, and getbe tween him and the batteries proved fuccefsful ;—art effeaual dillance was now ehofen—a few broadfides were poured in—the enemy's fire flackened ; I or dered our's to ceafe, and diresled Mr. SUTHERLAND, the Mailer, to run the frigate on board, with inten tion effectually to prevent her retreat by boarding.— The enemy's fide thruft our guns back into the ports, the whole were then difcharged, the effedt and crab was dreadful ; their decks were deferted, three pilkol (hots were the unequal return.
