That this armament is now on its way to South America, as we have already ventured to conjecture, there tan be little doubt ; and we are sorry to be obliged to add, that some of our outward-bound West Indiamen have been captured. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Sunday night last, the brig Martin, of Dublin, from Tenerife, arrived in Kinsale harbour. The Martin fell in with the Mary outward-bound West Indiaman, in lat. 46. N. on the 14th of March, the Captain of which stated, that he was in compfny with three other sail of West lndiamen, when they fell in with a French fleet, consisting of six sail of the line and two frigates, who captured the three other vessels, she being the only one which escaped. The following are the names of the ships captured The Ulysses, BRAID, for Surinam. The Cane, RICHARDS, for Barbadoes. ' The Richard Walker, LATHAM, for Jamaica. The above sailed from Cork on the 12th March, in Pompany with the Mary, JENKINS, the vessel that escaped. In addition to the above we have to state, that the Rovza, of 18 guns, which has.arrived at Portsmouth from the Mediterranean, when in lat. 44. 35. long. 14.28. spoke a sloop that had seen, on the day before, four sail of the line and three frigates, minding to the North-west, under a press of sail. Again, on the flst, in lat. 47. 55. long.. 16. 33. she fell in with a schOoner, evidently from Gibraltar, that had been plundered and abandoned by the enemy on the 19th. It was on the 9th the enemy left L'Orient, and i t would thus appear, that up to the 20th, they had suf fered no interruption on their cruize. From the course they have steered, it is evident that their first object was to pick up our homeward or outward-bound East Indiamen, and then to proceed across the Atlantic. Afoxiteurs, and other French Papers, to -the 28th tlt. have been received. They are silent on the sub ject of the EMPEROR'S intended journey to the North, but they give us reason to hope that Peace between Russia and Turkey is not far distant. The Moniteur admits the truth of the account we some time since published relative to the disturbances in Normandy, in consequence of the dearness of provisions. The principal rioters, as we have already stated, were im mediately tried by a military commission, and in stand; shot. Such are some of the superior blessings enjoyed by the people of France over those of England! The rioters of England are allowed the full benefit of trial by Jury before an independent constitutional Judge, and if found guilty are sentenced only to trifling punishments, and even recommended to mercy, while the superiorly blessed people of Ftance are instantly brought before a Military Commission appointed by the Government, and with the mere form and mockery of trial, are immediately shot ! !

SIEGE OF BADAJOS. " ON 111 E GUADIANA, MARCH 20. " My last letter to you was dated from the Banks of the Agueda, and the Coa, and having made ourselves masters of Ciu dad Rodrigo, by an operation as rapid and as brilliant as has taken place this war, we thought we should have had a little leisure.- Horse-racing and hunting were to be the order of the day, and I did not think my letter would haye had any others feats to men. tion than those performed against the " beasts of the field, and the birds of the air." But our great Commander is not for letting us lie idle. Having seen that MARMONT was not very speedy in marching to succour Ciudad Rodrigo, though he was so near it, he determined to give hint a longer chase, and on a sudden it was notified in General Orders, that heavy artillery, baggage, and . all the divisions of the army, were to move southward without loss of time-" Hey for Badaj rs," was the universal acclamation, and we set off full of confidence that we should soon make our selves masters of it. You know 1 ant in the division in which Lord &a et TY a it serves, as galia,;3 an o ffi cer and as good a fellow as ever Herd. 'I hat division, the 6th, and another, were, we i were assured, to have the honour of carrying on the siege, a nd of course we set off first. Luckily the weather was fine during the i whole march from the Agueda, and we got to Portalegre by • forced marches. There we halted a day or two to get fresh clothing, and to wait for the stores and heavy artillery from Lis : bon. We then set off for Elm, and remained there till lord 8 WettiNGTON came to review us and give us the final orders. " While we were there, some deserters from Badajos were brought in, and examitied before his Lordship. I understand they all agreed that the place was very strong ; that there was plenty of ammunition, but a great scarcity of grain ; that little bad been brought in from the surrousdinetountry, on account of General HiLL's previous. movements on the Alentejo, which had pro duced the effect of making the enemy keep at a respectful distance 1 from the Guadiana. However, they state, that the Governor PtiILIPPON was a resolute and determined Officer, and will de ' fend the place to the last extremity. We moved front Elves on the 13th, and got to our present positron on the 15th, in the everting. " Lord WELLINGTON accompanied the three divisions ap pointed to carry on the siege. We invested it the next day, and ' his Lordship ordering the Engineers to trace the first parallel as close as possible to the outworks, we were, before nightfall en the 17th, io the trenches, about two hundred yards from the enemy's works, and had completed our first parallel, and begun I our second. Rapid work this. 'l ke enemy kept up, all the l'ah, I a heavy fire upon us, which did us however but little damage, and occasioned no interruption at all in canying on the.works.- We had nut more than 40 men killed or wounded in the trench, as small a number as possible, considering the nature of the work and our contiguity to,the enemy's battery. The 18th, we I proceeded on our second parallel, but not so rapidly as cn the I day before, a heavy rain setting in, which continued t .e whole ' day. 1 suppose ate enemy thought our works would be damaged by it, anri our ardour damped; for on the 19th we observe' them first make some signals, and a considerable bustle in that I part of the town nearest oua left flank. .'phis was to deceive us into aa idea of at attack bein; meditated upon that part of our parallel; bat It did not throw us off our guard on our right flank. We were prepared to receive them on either side, and Lae wea ther, which had been hasy as well as rainy, just then clearing up, we observed a column pushing out upou our right.-" 'I hey are coming," and" Have. at them," was the exclamation of our g allant fellows, who longed for the attack, and we dashed at them in good style. They did not like us at all, and if the Go vernur saw the manner in which they were received, I think he would not risk another sortie. Poor CuTusatur fell early in the attack.

Notwithstanding all these disasters, nothing could equal the bravery and 'trash:less of both officers and men on this trying occasion. After serail ensues tessfulateempta, we were obliged to retire with considerable km. The conduct of Captain Plectra of the Slat was particularly conspicuous, for the manner he collected the wounded, ad brought them off, under a heavy fire from the enemy's works. Lieutenant BEARE/111LT of the 61st, and Lieutenant Motroll, were the only offirera wounded. The tire on Fort Sr. Christoval continued during the 7th, Btle,. and 9th. On the latter day, a breach in the will appeared prac ticable, when Generzl HoesToon ordered another detaeliment from the 51st and 115th British regiments, and also a detachment from the Portuguese regiments: the whole was under the corn mu dof Mulct ttotAcHr of the 17th Portuguese regiment, who in a most handsome manner, vol•inteereAl his services. The Officers destined to command the two parties were Capt. Sr ea- .

Besides the shells, which broke in every three' tion, the enemy kept up a well-directed fire of mesqurtry ; and every man, according to the French account since published, was provided with three firelocks, and their numbers e ere cuss siderably mere than the btOrnters.

On the morning of the 24th inst; as the boat Anne, of Burghead, was on the passage from Peterhead to this place, she was overtaken by a sudden squall, which, it is supposed, had completely filled her, as she went down on Lossiemouth, about five o'clock in the morning of that day, when the whole of the crew, consisting of two men, and two fine lads, their sons, most unfortunately perished. By this sad catastrophe, two widows, and at least ten destitute children, have been thrown upon the public. None of the sufferers' bodies have yet been cast ashore.
