I observed a man of war Schooner come to anchor off Paul's, for which I im mediately made sail, and anchored close to lier.k in doing which she fired all her gnus at us that would bear, and run on shore on one of the Bryone islands, where all her crew deserted her. She proved to be the Italian schooner Ortenzia, commanded by Lieute nant SrAumtNi, Lieutenant de frigate, pierced for 16 guns, but carrying only two long '2l-pounders, six long 9-pounders, and two 3-pounder swivels, and 56 men ; is a very fast-sailing vessel, built at Venice, copper-bottomed, newly new, and, I am of opinion, would be very useful in his Majesty's service.

Sir—l have to inform you, that proceeding in the execution of your orders, yesterday morning at day light, being off Gergentie, wind N. W. we- disco vered a chebeck to leeward, and chased her until ten o'clock, when she hauled her wind off shore, and hoisted French colours. She made a resistance to• tally unexpected. 1 found itneccssary to board her, and she was carried in a few minutes. It is with grief I relate, that in 'performing this service First Lieutenant EDWARD FLIN, a most excellent aid brave officer, was severely wounded, together with five seamen and two marines. Mr. JAMES CAPPON, Gunner, and PgNNts Hear, Armourcr, were also wounded by one of our guns going off by accident . while in chace.—The chebeck proved to be la Prin cesse Paulina French privateer, armed with three long carriage guns twelve pounders, and a large pro, portion of small arms, manned with ninety men (six of whom were killed and twenty-four wounded), and thirty days from Genoa.

A Dispatch, of which the following is a Copy, was this day re ceived by Viscount CASTI.CREAGIS, entof his Majesty's Prin cipal Secretaries of State front Lieu!: naat General Beckwith, commanding his Majesty's troops in the Windward and Lee wao d islands Bazioadoe;, Sept, 14, 111458. MY Lonn—lntelligence having been received here On the 27th of last month, that the enemy had ha zarded a landing in Mark Galante with a detachment of regular troops from Guadaloupe ; the three com panies of the Ist West India regiment, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Blackwell, of the 4th West India, proceeded from Barbadoes, as ex pressel in my dipitch, No. 17, were landed in Marie Galante on the 29th, atacked the French troops, in conjunction with the naval garrison, on the :30th, and after a series of operations in the fast nesses of the country, the enemy surrendered at dis cretion on the 13d instant. Colonel Cabman. aban. doned his command the day before the surrender, and, it is imagined, escaped in a canoe to Guada- loupe. The detachment returned to Barbadoes eu the 10th, having had three men wounded, one of whom is since dead The perseverance and temper of the three com panies was respectable ; and the fatigue they under. went at this season of the year unusually great. I inclose Lieuteuant:Cotonel Blackwell's report, and have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) Geo. Beecwrrn, Lieut. Gen. Grand Bourg, Marie Galante, Sept. 4, Me. Sm—l have the honour to inform you, that the troops which you were pleased to place tinder my command arrived here, in his Majesty's ship Cap. tain, en the 29th of August ; and finding from Cap tain gigot, Commander of this island, that the French troops were strongly posted within three miles of Grand Bourg, I was immediately landed with the three companies of the Ist West India regiment; and having obtained an increase of my force, of about one hundred and forty marines, and some sailors, to. gether with a six-pounder, from the army schooner Maria, - I lost no time in fulfilling the instructions I received from you. I have now much satisfaction in reporting, that after a pursuit of the enemy for, five days and nights, and having during that period had four engagements with him, in each of which he was re-' pulsed, and obliged to make most precipitate re treats, leaving behind him arms, ammunition, Scc. at every different post that had been attacked, and at one place in particular, nine mariners (who had been taken prisoners on 'the first landing of the ene rn)•,) and at another, a brass six pounder, which had only arrived from Guadaloupe two days • and wl ich was found spiked ; by constantly mar Ching and. harassing him, we found, on coming within one hundred paces of his front yesterday morning, that be was willing to surrender, and sending out a big of truce, I granted the following terms :- 0 That the French troops might march out from the ground they then occupied wit h the honours of war, but that they shoul d lay down their arms in fr ont of the troops, and s urrender themselves as prisoners of war, and that all prisoners taken since their arrival in the island should be immediately returned." I was however much astonished to find that Colonel Castaiurs., who had commanded the army, was not present, when they surrendered, but I have since n o that be had quitted it the morning previcus, and had returned to Guadeloupe, but I have some reason to Imagine he is still is this island. The field piece I had taken from the Army Schooner became useless after the first day, front the • track of the, country the enemy led us over ; I there - fore sent it o back to Grand Bourg, and at the same time I directed fifty marines to occupy the post at Defenses, three miles from town, which kept up the communication with the inte,tior of the island. In our several attacks, it gives me pleasure to say we have had only two privates wounded, one tern since dead. The loss on the part of the iy I have not ascertained, but imagine to have cminlderaisk. lam sorry to mention to you, that ft gentleman from Antigtte, of the tame of ' Brown, being a prisoner of war, was in the rear of the enemy's picquet when attacked on the evening of the 2tl instant, and received a mortal wound.— The force which has been brought from Guada. loupe I have not yet exactly found out, but from all accounts must have been above two hundred rank and tile. From the return I send herewith, you will find that one hundred and sixty-two privates have laid down theft arms, and there are at present many who have been sick dispersed through the country. The inhabitants that joined were very considerable. I believe their number amounted to from four to five hundred. To Captain Wauxv, of his Majesty's ship Ctrraix, I am under great obltations : in every instance he has studied to assist me, and to his e!.e.tiqns I am much indebted for the success of the expedition. Captain Ptc.or ' the Commander of the Island, was in the field the whole time with the troops ; and from his knowledge of the country he afforded me the greatest assistance, for which I consider myself most particularly indebted to him. I have likewise to return my best thanks to all the officers, non-commissioned officers, and privates who • wore under my command, for the chearfulness with which they went through the long and harassing marches, and I think it a duty incumbent upon me to mention to you their extreme good conduct since they have been in the field. I have the lioneur to be, &c. (Signed) BLACIGISELL, Lieut. Col. 4th Weft ludi a Reg. Marie Galante, Camp at the Estate of Blanchard Cadet, Sept. 5, 1808.

Answer.—The French will surrender; but propose that their Officers shalt be sent on their parole, and their men exchanged at Guadaloupe.

We announce in this day's paper a new Weekly Paper to be published in Edinburgh, under the name (sec the following Prospectus) of The .3dinburgh Weekly Chronicle, with some circumstances attending which it is fit that the public should be acquainted. We are authorised to say, that the necessary arrange ments for this Paper were nearly completed before the Proprietors were aware that another Edinburgh Weekly Paper was in agitation. Application was made to the Publisher of the Edinburgh Revival, to have copies of the Prospectus of the former stitched up with the present number of that publication. This wat refused by reason, as was stated, that it would give offence to the friends of that Review, who were determined to support, to the utmost of their power, the other Paper," of which the proprietors of the Edinburgh Weekly Chronicle, had for the first time heard only the day before, and for a si kmillar reason the Publisher also refused to.allow copies of this Prospectus to be stitched up with the Farmer': Magazine, the Medical Journal, or the Scottish Maga zine,,all of which are published by him. It appeared to the Proprietors of the Edinburgh Weekly Chronicle, that the Editor of the Edixtuigh Review should be apprised of this illiberal conduct in his publisher. They therefore addressed the fol lowing letter to him: as Edinburgh, Noy. 9, 1808. Sig—Mr. Constable having positively refused to allow copies of the enclosed Prospectus to be stitched up with the present number of the Edinburgh &vim" by reason, as he stated, that it would give offence to you and the other friends of that Publication, we think it right to apprize you of this latter circum stance, that if Mr. Constable has made a mistake, you may disavow it, or if it really be as he has stated it upon his conception of the matter, that we may be enabled to place the refusal to the right account. gg We are, Sir, 41 Your most obedient humble servants, (Signed) 41 MUNDIML, DOIG 3 and STEVENSON. "Francis Jeffrey, Esq," The following answer was immediately retuned to this letter : _ _ Gera esttw—l take no charge cf what Mr. Constable stitches under the cover of the Reviews. Only I requested him some time ago to give a place there to the Prospectus of a projected Weekly Paper, to be called the Edinburgh !Verily Regitti.r. I think Mr. Constable mentioned to me yesterday that he had been asked to insert the Prospectus of another Paper, under the wry tame title* which he had declined. I said it was very absurd to haVe two Works with the same name, and, being hurried at the time, I had no farther conversation with him on the subject. I ne ver heard of your Paper till yesterday, and really have no leisure for this sort of correspondence. " I have the honour to he, Gentlemen, " Your very obedient Servant, ( Signed 64 r. JEITRET," " Messrs. Mundt:land Co." It is thartbe tiliduegh Review a mere engine of party. If the supp oi t e , work choose so to degrade the purposes they cannot fail to be visited by the cc that degradation. Its effects already a, fastened themselves upon their Editor, have been expected that the. advocate would have be. ruined with indign :ll tempt,.lwwever miserable, to check , But a liberal.mirided Gentleman, wh o cumstancts would have spurned at the IT upon him by his Publislwr, is so bli spirit, that he appears insensible to Publisher does not act as from himself. the fear of giving offence to his Editor, ted to the latter, who is moreover distil on to disavow It ; but so tar from &A i a circumstance which lcd his rubli! that he would be offended if a place this Prospectus in his publication, nami to give a place to another, which was of an opposite tendency. No one who /mows li t Jeffrey will believe, that he would have been offend 4 with his Publisher if he had given a place to t h i Prospectus. But it is impossible to read his le tt • without being *satisfied that he approved of his ref o notwithstaming that he was identiiied wi t h i t h a manner which he could not fail to have disclaim e d, the spirit of a partizan had not overwhelmed hi s L uis ter feelings. This incident, it is to be hoped, will lead thi s G m tleman to consider well the consequences of becoming the literary tool of a party. The object of his Put; Esher, with which he submits to be identified, is, as far as in him lies, to lead, or as we think, to m i s l ead the public opinion iu Scotland, by engrossing th e pe. riodic 11 publications of Edinburgh. The Fame ( Magazine, the Medical Journal, and the Scotch M a .,, a:nc, (into which also, we are informed, a pine" refi sed to the Prospectus of the EdinGurEh wag Chronicle,) are all published by the same Buokselles. Every department of science and of art is, by these men, to be made 'subservient to the views (id* party. But we trust that their effcrts in thi by means of these publications, will be renle s : ab ntive, as, we know they will be, in their aae t e l e to suppress a Paper winch will be decidedly hQsnli ts such views. • The Paper, the Prospectus of which Mr. Constable,' asked to stitch up with Lis Review WAS therein calltid doh, locgh ;Vet.
