The Ann, was carried to Egina, where Captain Hamilton Was, and instantly liberated. he Skylark was boarded two nights ago in the Port of Ipsara (where he was laying under convoy of tsse Zebra) by a boat from a Greek ,cryizer, also lying there ; but the man of war, being apprised of it, let off some blue lights, &c. which•frignteoed them away, without their taking any thing. Captain Longridge reports thist he left the .--- and Geniraf Brock at Egina, taken by the Greeks; the former wish a cargo of beans for Leghorn, and - a large quantity of money ; the latter with a cargo of bar iron for Constantinople. Both are condemned by the Greek Tribunal; the latter in ship, cargo, ru d freiihr, kinder the, prfrear o f its ! w i ng wari , ke awes going to an enemy's port. Captain .H. sent notice to the Admiral, who could give no positiveorders, merely telling Captain H, to do what he could for the vessel! There were Austrian vessels and a Dutchman under arrest, and really • things are now arrived at such a pitch as to lead to the conclusion, that the whole of the nation we are doing • so much for will soon be nothing but pirates. ,► Sitrastatft 18.—Yesterday an Austrian convoy arrived from Alexandria, and it is said no less than four or five vessels have been taken from it by the Greeks, and a British vessel called the Nancy has come in with it, which had before beets twice sobbed by those villains, leaving the Captain and crew in the most mi serable condition imaginable—but these events to our flag are so very frequent, that they are no longer worth referring to.;—for nobody seems to care any thing about them. " Sari. 19.—Yesterday the French brig. of war Volage, by which I wrote you a fortnight ago, came into Vourla with a Greek Government armed vessel, as a prize. The account given is, that a few nights ago the Volage was followed by two of the craft above mentioned, when she assumed the appearance of a merchant brig. • The Greeks closed in urns her, and continued so evidetitly waiting the approach . of day. light to carry their plan.. into execution with more security. The Volage, however, knowing that they would the., be off, and assured of their piratical intenoioa, gave them a broadside, when one got away and the 'other, having 60 seamen on board, sur rendered. It is said, and may easily be believed, that they were laying wait for. tbe,fruit vessels going down to asessoe. Ina ay of which.ase Inovor to Awg the money to pay for the cargoes. This . Greek man of war having nothing on board 6 prove her piratical ita. tentions, may probably be let loose again to follow up her plata. " SEPT. ft.—The Magdelaine arrived yesterday morning from Liverpool, in 56 days, without convoy, and without plunder. She of course had fine winds, and so escaped. An American vessel now at the Castles has been plundered, and a Dutchman. which belonged to his own convoy, having been detained by some Turkish man of war to ask some questions, after wards shared tke same fate by the Greeks! and nothing is done to put them dams. Strr.24.—Ao American corvette is arrived, which spoke the Ma: y and Fairy Queen, going into Milo, hay. ing been robbed of their stores and part of their car goes—some say all. Poor Vans, of the Matilda, is in from Trieste, having shared a similar fate, and having I:ist coat, hat, and shoo! —the vessel had hardly stores inongh left to bring her in. The Cherub, from America, with a full cargo of Colonial produce, has been com pletely 'gutted by the villains of Carabosa ; and a man of•wxr, arrived, had to furnish clothing, two days ago, to the crew of the Elizabeth, three or four days from this port, supposed to be Noakes, going to Cheutte I and they say six Greek armed cruivrs are lying in bait between Scio and Carabour ace. These are a part of the benefits to be derived from the treaty we have given to that people ; and our Commanders on the station admit that things are only Itiely to get worse, whilst it appears it in nobody's basi l:Kis to apply a sanedy. "The Constitution, American frigate, is said to be ring down to Candia, to see after the Cherub's cargo; and, it is expected, will give a better account of it than most of our losses have been attended with. AnOther American, with Colonials, has escaped by some lucky caance. The Ant, Watson, and the Hope, in ballast from Alexandria, have had equal good fortune ; but the Arab, which sailed with them, and the Ana, Watson, which preceded, have not yet appeared. The accounts of piracies has so far alarmed the Captains proceeding to Chesme, that none of them will now venture without coavoy, among which are the Flora, Colombian Packet, Soak" Etc. &c. COPT OP A LETTER VR3SI THE !METER Or THE PREMIER, TO KIWI KERR Y ESQ. DATED MALTA, imp?. 27. DEAR SIR-1 am extremely sorry to inform you of the unfortunate occurrence which bag befallen us since rmt departure from Bmytna. We left there on the . l6th inst. Si company with his Majesty's brig Brisk, and Lord Talbot in his yacht. They parted company in the Dort, Passage, and left u . in company with this Paul Ps y and Smyrna Packet: &wing to the very bad weather we ca.. petienced off Cerigo, during the right we lost sight of them the next mottling. We thrum continued to make the best of ou way for England instil the 21st, when • e saw a vessel to the southward. He immediatrly sore down upon us, and hoisted a black and white flag„ lad wio As ek h • ' t • • fired everal guns at us to bring us to ; blit liking his appearance, We bore down for Modon, tarry: sag all sail po. We. At 10 a.stotere outrunning hint fast, he continually 6ring his lee guns at us ; towards noon the brerze became very light, when be gaintd 'upon us cnnsiderably-.-he still filing round and grape lat us. We withstood several shot until we Mere con:. IPletely under his guns, when I deemed it most prudent to round to, as he was then in the act of pouring a broadside into us. At 4 P.M. he came on hoard with a part of his crew, and rummaged the vessel all over. taking a great part of the cargo—chain cahle, kedge anchor, provi ions, medicine chest, live stock, wear. ng apparel, watches, chronometer, sugar, tea, cof fee, wine, spirits, and porter; and it was a long time in contemplation whether he would not exchange ves sels to take the cargo out of the Premier, and give me his vessel to bring home. She was a polaere - brigs mounting 12 guns, from 80 to 90 men. I am com pelled to put into Malta for a cable and provisions, where I intend to note a protest, as the other cable we have on board is not 6t to trust the vessel to. The part of the cargo they have taken is three bales mohair ya n. three boat loads of fruit, and all the scammony. We were plundered in latitude 36. 0. N. the island of Sapientia N. by E. from the deek 25 to 30 miks, which Place we were strti . Hing io for. They have broken se. l veral drums -of init.- and plundered the reniain;ng balls. They often - thriatened'us with our 1 . 45; they sail they had a great mind wpm us all to death, and keep the vessel. Every exertion was made by the crew to save the ship during the tine the shot were flying all around us. The chase lasted from sirA. ut. until four e. u. (Signed) S. JOH N EMIR." COMMERCIAL IN It.LLIk)ENCE-TH/11 D.T. Suoaa.—The i sed demand for Plantation Sugars,• nodsted on Friday last, has been fully maintained. The sale, but week exceeded 3,000 casks. The stock at the end of last week, as corn. pared with what it was at the satoe period last year, skews a defi ciency of rather above 9,400 casks, but it is evident that the effects of the decrease have for some time been anticipated. The total deliveries from the warehouse of West India for the week ending last night have been about 35,000 cwt. while the imports have only best, 25 ewt. This morning there have been as yet no extensive dealings, but the sales made were on quite as high terms ill on Friday; and from the .firm state of the market an advance is =mi tt/med.—Farris', Sugars attract but little attention. The result , of some large public . sales advertised for this week will tend to skew the real price. The stock at present is considerable. Bengal Sugar is a shade higher than last week. Covrar.—The market is in rather an Improved state. Bt. Domingo obtains readily from 395. to els. for good Ordinary and good. Middling Jamaica from 745. to 775. per cwt. . Setcati.—The Spice trinket has, within the last few days, exhi bited much unmade°, sad an advance in nutmegs, mace, Btc. has occurred. The stocks are low; and the latest accounts from the Spice Islands are not very favourable, u far u regards the crops; and, from the present extremely low prices of spices, an advance of SO per cent. is not improbable, especially if capitalists should tutu to investments in then., fur which there is nnw a fair opportunity.— Spices of late hate scarcely paid freight and charges, and latterly shipments have been made freely to foreign elarketa, la the hope that better prices would be obtained. . Imoreo.—The demand for Wig° continues estrisaniy brisb.l24 speculation is active in this article. Purchases have been effected at an advance of from aid. to 3d. on the prices given at the East India sale. To Franc., Germany. and the Netherlands, the exports lat terly have been nominally large. The deliveries last week front the warehouses were considerable. Rusinau Paoneca--Tbe Tallow market centintri in a drooping state at the lowest prices latterly obtained. The deliveries in the week ending last night have Leen very great, viz. 6,012 cwt. and though imports In the same space of time have been about 2,920 cwt. The advice. from St. Petersburgh represent, that sales were I breed there by the Russians, who seemed unusually anxious to get clear of stock ender the conviction that the produce next year would even exceed that of the present year to the extent, It is said, of 40,000 tasks. At the date of the last letters, upwards of 300 casks had been sold at 98 rebles--the quotation there as well as here, having given way. In addition to the super abundant stock of Russia. the stock of Town Tallow is consider able, but the price of the latter continues firm, Is. to 10s. above the former. Of Russia, the sellers are numerous to-day, and the prices may be quoted at the lowest currency, viz. Hs. ed. to 375. per cwt.—Bristles have also given way, the demand net being quite so brisk. The deliveries from the warehouse are very extensive, amounting lathe week ending•last night to 21,960 Hemp and Flax . are, if any thing, a shade lower. SALTFITILS is heavy, the demand fur exportation not being so brisk as it was. The deliveries last week were 9,601 cwt. The market price is 245. 6d. per cwt. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

DRURY.LANE. • A new Pak Comedy was last night produced at this Theatre, under the title of The Wealthy Widow; or - They are Both to Blame. It is a translation from the Fiend), and is the same story which has been already so successfully dramatized, and so favourably received at the Haymarket under the designation of Spring and Antrum; or Ihe Bride of Fifty. The present Piece is, we understand, adapted to the English Stage by Mr. Pant. The characters were cast as follow : Mr. Thingleton . • Mr. Jones. Edward Hardaere . Dewed's. Edward freely . . Ptir.-Hooret. Mrs. Dangleton • . NM DevIJON. Emily . . . . '.. S. Tatc. Trinket . . . . . ass Love. To those pf oar readers who haveateither !tell tor beard of The tfrieWat Fifty. it is aufaciant to say, that the leading incident of Mr. Poos . s's play, like that of hi, predecessor, consists in the union of a widow po,iebsing more wealth than wit, with a man as much her inferio in years as in fortune. The vis amulet' arises from the imperiousness of the capricious wife, who having re. scued her youthful partner from pecuniary difficul te a encompasses him with dram-stic embarrassments, and teaches him, when too late, to profit by the kno w . ledge of his error, that he who exchanges the barb of a prison for the constraint of an unequal marriage, only transfers his obligations from several creditors c,, one. The denouement consists in the emancipation of the husband from his, thraldom, and the marriage of a brace of lovers, who have been alternately miserable and happy throughout the fiece, like all stage lovers before them. The diabogne, particularly in the two first acts, is easy and agreeable; and one or two r f the situaeom were rendered. by the assistance of admirable acting, far from ineffective. One of the best jokes was a suggestion to old Harclaire, on the part of the waltins-maid, that if be could split his sixty years into two thirties. the latter would give more satisfaction to Easily than he was able to alflard her. Another was still broader, and perhaps, owed its existence to the performerat the moment-4f so, it is par donable. Madam. in his first scene with her, calls Tr i nket a housemaid; to which she-indignantly replies, that she is • Lady's maid; and Herr observes, that for aught he knows she may be no-maid at all. When Heroine", asks-Nrs. hangiden if she is happy with her young husband, the answer is "as happy as the day I. long," and Hard Ure follows it up by enquiring whether she means a day in June or D:eember ? The third Act is procrastinated by scene in a sponging -house, which had but one joke in it.—quite etiobgts perhaps tor the situation. A debtor is complaining of the cruelty of a creditor, and declares that he will punish the weal by Withthawing bit custom. " You will punish him more eff,etually (says pile/Woo) if you continue it" ihq acting of JONES, as the hen-pecked husband. nnd of Mrs. Davison, in the arbitrary wife, was ablvenll' praise.• Dangleton's drunken sce se is the best thing of the-kind on the stage. Other actors are brutal, or, at least, - vulgar in their -clips. Mr. JoNes gets drunk like .a Gentleman. • Misses Lova and E. 'fame, and •Mri Dowrom, are enti:led to the highest cpminenclation fm. the al)ility displayed by them in thess,resPective chi t ranters.—Alter the faU of the curtain •Mr. Jonas aw nounced.Thelfeehh Widow :or repetition on-Wedrie,t day next, and, though there was some'disPute, the ayes appeared to have the majority.
