nom SATURDAY NIGHT'S GAZITTE. ADMIRALTY OFFICE, AUG. 7, 1813. Extract of a I.etter from Captain Sir G e orge CnWer, of bis Ma jesty's ship Surveilla-te, addre4ed to Admiral Lord Keith acid uansinisted by his Lordship to J.W. Croker, Esq. His Majesty's ship SurveillAnte, off St. Sebastian's, July 23, 1813. The breaching batteriestaised on the Chofre Sand- hills were opened against the walls of St.. Sebastian's on the 20th,• at ten in the forenoon, under most un livourable circumstances of weather, and this even ing ther'e is a c:,nsiderable breach ; but a second will, I understand Irom General Graham, be made before the Acorn), is attempted. A gun I.as been thought necessary at the Light. Horse-hill. Captain Taylor, of the SparrOw, has prpar...d a battery, and had the weather permitted, a twenty-four pf , untler would have been dragged up, and mounted tre this. The casualties have not been many considering the very commanding' fite our guns are exposed to. A Ciantain Didrirdien, of the Royal Artillery, has been killed; and I enctose a return of seamen killed and *winded, tip . to the night of the 21st, belonging to the squadron. I have the pleasure to say, the good conduct of the detachment' landed under Lieut. O'Reilly, has been the admiration of the artillery officers in com mand of the batteries.

[FROM TUE BATAVIA GAZETTE.] DEYEAT OF THE PANTIE:ANS OF TIIE LATE sELTAN 05 FALEMDANG, AND DEATH OF MAJOR mEAREs, Major Meares, in consequence of accounts having reached him that the exiled Sultan of Palembang had taken up a position at some distance above the capi tal and interrupted the supply of provisions, detached against.him on the 13th of July a party of one hun dred and fifty men, and some time afterwards fol lowed in person at the head of a reinforcement Major Meares arrived at Palembang on the 26th August, and having made the necessary arrange ments, and procured such intelligence as the Sultan was able to give, he proceeded in boats on the morn ing of the 28th, with a detachment oc one hundred and seventy men, and accompanied by a strong party of the Sultan's troops. On the evening of the 31st the detachment arrived. near a post occupied by the enemy, and where a cable was stretched across the river to prevent the advance of boats. Nert morning our party advanced, and when they came within half a mile of the enemy, a few muskets were fired by the latter, without any effect. Captain M'Pherson was landed with a small patty of sepoys, with which he scoured the woods, which sheltered the enemy, who retired in confusim, and without making any opposition. The remainder of the troops, commandcd by Major Meares in persrn, then landed, and the whole ad vanced without molestation for about two miles , through the woods, when they suddenly discovered a stockade crowded with troops, who irnmedia.ely opened'a brisk fire of musketry. Our troops, led on by •Major Meares, rushed forward with ardour, climbed over the stockade, and carried it at the point of the bayonet, the enemy, whose loss was great, flying with the greatest precipitation. In crossing the stockade, Nlajor Meares received a mortal wound, but would not leave the field till the enemy was en tirely dispersed. The moment our troops go: pos session of these works, a heavy fi e opened upon them from floating batteries in the river, but they were qnickly silenced by the superior fire of oar de tachment an the bank. Nine brass guns fell into the• hands of the victr.rs ; and we are happy to hear, that among the prisoners is the Pangerang Meer° De Natoo, who is said to have loot one of the chief in stigators, and most active agents in the massacre GI the Dutch factory at Palembang. We have been favoured with a copy of the fol lowing Orders, issued by Major Meares after the cap ture of the enemy's \VOIks; D. ogDEus BY MAJOR MEARES. Boyla Largo, Srptembcr 1, 181'2. - rs Major Meares returns Lb best thanks to the troops who behaved themselves so gallantly in st • ming the batteries on the river, and the hill comman ding them, ts hich was most obstinately defended by a daring enemy. He cony atulates them on their suc cess, and lopes to have an opportunity of r e po t ting their good conduct to the Commander of tee Unces " In this ::lair, NlRjrr Meares was the only Odica wounded. The detachment returned to Fort Nu. gent, and arrived there on the fth of :ieptcrnber. The wound received by Major Meares was by a musket-ball, which entered a ludo to the right of th e navel, and was cut nut on the Bth from :he upper p.trt of the thigh. It was fOilowed by no inflimma.ion nor airy bad symptom, and oh the 15th the cure uad so far advanced as to afford hopes of a perfect reco very in a few days. 13ut the following night a vi-lent internal hemorrhage took place from a 1 age vesset, Which was probably grazed by t! e ball in its passage, and after complaining of difficulty of bruathi..g; And being helped to si: up, the Major expired in three minu'es. He was interred next evening with every military honour, under a discharge of forty minute guns. Major Metres was deeply aid sincerely re gretted by the garrison under his cotlimaid, as well as by the natives of the country, whose affection the equity of his administration, the suavity of its man ners, and his unnittrrupted attention to their wants and desires, hard conciliated in an eminent aegree.

Whilst every pre - reparation is making at Prague, and whilst quarters are already bespoken in the an cient car Eal of Brairania for the Plenipotentiaries, every thing is in warlike mraion, both in the king dom of Bohemia and in the hereditary States, We are assured that since the Ist July 150,000 men, pro poly accoutred, have been placed on t.:e war estab lishment. The patent, by which the militia are called out, remained unusually long at the printing-office, but was at lengt'. very much hastened, as was like wise the.new Conscription Law, according to which, only the higher chess of nobility arc free from the conscription. To each regiment of the line in future are to be added two battalions of militia (in the whole about 70,000 men), who are to be dressed perfectly like their regiments, in coats and rebats.— Every one, who hitherto belonged to the cavalry, and received his discharge, is called upon to enter again, and form a choice body of mounted militia, which is to be formed in great haste. All the reports of a personal meeting between our Emperor, and the Emperor of Russia and King pf Prussia, are without any foundation. The Emperor Alexander merely had a meeting with the Arch, Duchesses Maria and Catharina of Opotschna, who came there from Prague, and as well as the Emperor himseit, were there entertained in the most superb manner, by order of our Emperor. At Ratchaschutz, a Bohemian estate belonging to the Duchess of Sa gan, a dinner table bad been laid for the Emperor Alexander by himself, bur he requested to dine with the rest of the company, then at the palace, and ac cordingly had Count . V. Metternich, Baron Von Humboldt, the Chevalier Von Crenta, and several other personages, at 'table. All the endeavours of the Austrian Government have hitherto undeniably been made for the preser vation of the strictest neutrality ; and for that reason the exportation of considerable quantities of corn and cats for the use of the French army was permitted ; for this purpose the march of the ev.cellent Polish corps under Po niatowi.ki through Cracau to Lusatia was permitted. And tri , hont this conscientious rum.- trailty, certainly all mediation for peace would have been !littsory. As it is said to be known that strong reconnoissances have been at several times perceived along the borc:ers of Bohemia, it is reported that on the Austrian side a cordon li is been drav!ti along the border, and a few men detached to the chici passes, on account of securing police matters.

TO CORKEtilh iNDENTS. G. M, Is Informed, that we have sent his Letter to the Sitting Mag;stra• c at Hatton-Garden (Mace. MONDAY, AUGUST 9, 1813. Soon atter our Paper was at Press on Saturday the report of a Flag of Truce having arrived from France began to be doubted, and we mentioned the circum stance in the subsequent part of our impression. In fact, it proves to have been an imposition for stock jobbing purposes, and which for a time had the effect to raise Omnium i per cent. The letter we gave on Saturday lens received by the Master of I,Lovo's Coffte•house per Mail, and was signed with the firm of CURLING ani Co. of Deal. It was posted in the Coffee-room in the usual way, and was at first generally credited ; but the absence of other accounts soon c re4ted suspicion as to its authenticity, and another notice was posted, stating, that the original letter lay for inspection in the Secretary's room, in erder that any Gentleman acquainted with the firm at Deal might certify the signature, or expose the forgery. Soon afterwards, one of the partners in the house of CeltLinl and Co. who happened to be in town, came to peruse the letter, and immediately declared it to be a forgery, and Stocks, of course, tell to their original price. Saturday we noticed the arrival of the Rabert Barns cartel, at Liverpool, from New-York, and we were enaLded to lay before our Readers it copy of the Bil. prohibiting all intercourse with Gre4t Bt itain, with few of the particulars brought by that ves•el. We haye since received regular files of tl, mrricau PApeis to the 13th ult. from which we have givep some im portant extracts. With respect to the expedition under Sir J. B. NV A it RES ? it is stated, that on the morning the •I2J or June, an attack was made at two po.nts upon Crany Island, near Norfolk. A landing was effected at one point ; but the other attack having proved unsuccess ful, the detachment which had effected the debarka. tion was withdrawn. Admiral WARREN'S boat, car rying 75 men, was sunk by the fire of the enemy's artillery, and only twenty soldiers and sailors were med. On the 25th a descent was made at Hamp ton, with 2500 men, 400 of whom are said to be rifle men. The enemy, who made an ineffectual resist ance, estimate the British loss at 250, and their own at only twenty, A considerable part of the town seems to have been burned. Our troops were prepa ring to penetrate into the inter.or ; and for that pur pose were collecting horses to form a corps of cavalry. The latest accounts received at New-York stimate their amount at 5000, The British naval force at Hampton consisted of sic sail of the line, five fri gates, three brigs, and one sloop of war, with a number of transports. In I.ynhaven Bay there were two 74's, two frigates, one sloop of war, and sevtral tenders. Sir TIIONIAS Haeny's squairnn continued to blockade the United States and Macedo.'ian at New London. A' letter from: General Haftutt,oli of the sth June, says, that the Indians were bllck ading Fort Wayne. The blockade of the American ports was notified at Washington on the 27th June. General DEAR/101(NX, in a letter elated the 25t1t of June, front' Fort George, laments the loss of a de tachment of 570 . men, under Colonel Beeasmett, with the sole exception of one volunteer, will escaped. NEW YORK, JULY 6. 6 ' A Cour na Matz.—Yesterd :y forenoon a fishing smack was sent out from Musgilet° Cove, by Com modore Lewis, who has the cottimond of the flotilla of gnu boats stationed at the Hook, for the purpose of taking by stratagem the sloop E tgle, tender to the British 74, Poictiers, cruizing off and on Sandy Hook Light House, which it appears succeeded to a charm. The smack, named the Yankee, was borrowed of some fishermen at Fly Market, and a calf,a sheep, and a goose purchased and secured on deck. Between 30 and 4U men, well armed with muskets, were secreted in the cabin and fore.peake of tie smack. Thus pre pared, she stood out to sea s as if going on a fishing trip to the Banks, three men only being on deck, dressed in fishermen's apparel with buff caps on.-e. The E igl., on perceiving the smack, immediately' gave chacc, and after coming up with her. and find ing she had I:ve stock on deck, ordered her to go down to the Commodore, then about five miles dis tant. The helmsman tithe smack afswered—• aye, aye, Sir,' and apparently put up the helm for that porpn,e, which brow. ht him alongside - the Eagle, not more than threw y ids distant. The wachword Lawrence, w 15 then given, when the armed men rushed on deck fre m their hiding places, and l u i into her a volley of muketry, which struck i , er crew with dismay, and drove them all down so precipi. tately• into the hold of the vessel, that they hail not Irime to strike their colours. " Seeing the deck was cleired of the enemy, sail. ing mister Percival who commanded the expedition, ordered his men to cease firing. Upon whim one of the enemy came out. cf the hold and struck the co lours of the Eagle. She had on board a .32.polind brass howitzer, loaded with cannisier shot ; but so sodden was the surprise they had nor rime to dis charge it. The crew of the Eagle consisted of H. till rris, master's mate or the Poictiers, W. Pike, midshipmai., and 11 marines. Mr. Morris was killed, and Mr. Price mortally wounded ; one marine killed, and one severely wounded. rile Eagle; with the prisoners, was brought op to town yesterday af-i ternoon, and landed at Whitehall, amidst 'the shouts and plaudits of thousands or spectators, Assembled on the battery celebrating the 4th of July, ig Yesterday arrived at this port, the cartel ship Magnet, Coverdale, nine days from Bermuda, with 187 p issengers, being all the American prisoners at Bermoda.

After the al.- ~ rival of the news, several of the Virginia Members of Congress obtained leave of absence from the House, and were gi ing home to take care of their families.— It was feared that the Bluish would encourage a re. volt of the negroes, and in that case it was thought they would be able to 'ay waste all tire looser gait of the State of irgiiii.t.
