Yesterday the George and the Gambier anchored off the harbour after havirig been engaged for four hours with an American schooner, of 14 guns and Wu men, and they are crippled in their masts and rigging. In the morning and afternoon of the same day a considerable firing was heard in front of the harbour, from which we feared further depredations on the trade, and we have learnt from the officer of the Libre Portuguese ship of war, who boarded the American schooner, that the latter had captured five days previous a British vessel of 20 guns and 45 men, a little to the southward of Augustin. JAN. 17.—The American schooner still hovers off this harbour. Yesterday a large ship, supposed a frigate of the same nation, came from the southward and lies to opposite Olinda.

He was not permitted since his arrival to leave the Three Kings Inn, at Deal. MaNsimi-Housx.--The Bridewell and Christ- Church Hospital boys were admitted yesterday to the Mansion-house, according to annual custom, to see the Egyptian-hall, with the ornaments and decora tions as fitted up for the dinner the day before. They I walked with their Beadles and Nurses through the grand saloon, where the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, Sheriffs, and Aldermen were seated, with the Lady Mayoress and several other Ladies. Each boy re ceived a shilling, or a sixpence from the Lord Mayor, according to their respective merits, with a bun and a glass of wine. After this ceremony, the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, &c. went in state to Christ Church, where they heard an excellent sermon. They then returned to the Mansion-house, where the Lord Mayor enter tained a large party to dinner. At night the Lady Mayoress had a select party to cards and supper. THEATRICALS.—Drury-lane Theatre will close for the season the second week in June, Covent-Garden in about ten days after. The Haymarket Theatre opens at the usual period, with nearly the same Com pany as last year, at the head of which are the names of MATHEWS, JONES, and TERRY. To the female list some effective strengh is added. The Ofieratical per. formances at the Lyceum do not, we understand, commence until after the close of New Drury'ptevious to the season 1814. The Lyceum is to be rebuilt. Four plans have been made, one for the PRINCE RE GENT, the other three for the Lord Chamberlain, the Earl of Exemit, and the Proprietors. The Earl of EXETER, as ground-landlord, is to advance 820,000, 0 Mr. ARNOLD £BOOO, Major PYZ sl3OOO, Mr. RAY MOND .10000, and se6ooo more to be raised amongst the Tradesmen to be employed : total 4340,000, the estimate for completing the whole. It is to be nearly on the plan of the Plymouth Theatre, the roof of which is cast iron. The names of the above sub scribers are the only ones that appear, but it is pretty Istrongly believed that another Gentleman is behind the curtain. r . 4 I.

The Caroline is a neat little 'Vessel of her class, and a Letter of Martine. On the 17th of March she cap tured,thc TWo Brothers ship, of Boiton, from Charles ton, with ricr, bound to . Cadiz, which was soon af terwards recaptured by the Bootle; Letter of Marque, belonging to Liverpool; and sent for that port; where, we understand, she has arriied. The Caroline also captired on her passage the brig Active, of Poole; from Cadiz, with wine and wool, bound to Liverpool, which she sent for Auierica ; and the transport brig Jenny, of Scarborough, from Lisbon, in ballast, or dered home to be repaired ; the latter being in a leaky state, Was given up to her crew. Saturday last, the Lizard bearing South-West, distant about twenty leagues, the Caroline fell in and communicated with the Cerberus brig privateer, belonging to this port, .T. TREGOWETH master, when a frigate was discovered in chase of them, which soon came up with and took pos session of the privateer, and afterwards made all sail after the Caroline, which succeeded in escaping : from the, dirty appearance of the frigate, it is supposed she came from abroad, and one of those that have been cruizing on the African coast, which some time since attacked the AMELIA ; she had French colours hoisted, and it is reported, passed up Channel. The Favou- RITE sloop of war, in the Sound, is appointed to take trade- from hence to the Eastward, which she will protett as far as Portsmouth.—Arrived the RESOLUTE gun-brig, with six sail of merchantmen under her convoy from Ireland ; also arrived the BITTERN sloop of war, from Liverpool. BAHIA, JANUARY 26. The brig Edward, with a valuable cargo from Li• verpool, and the November packet, have arrived.— The former, on the 1 lth instant, was pursued by the American sloop of war Hornet, and the latter, on the 13th. A few days previous to the arrival of the Ed ward, several boats were placed along the coast with the promise of reward should they succeed in putting the letters given to them on board any British vessel that should appear ; and two of these letters being put on board the Edward, the warnin ,, she received was the means of her escape. The Hornet was close in with the land on the 230. Admir4l DJXON, in the MONTAGUE, arrived yester day from Rio Janeiro. An American schooner kept company with him for some-time, sailing round him.

ZONAPARTE has at length set out for the army, and is by this time at the head-quarters, which are pro bably at aentz, for the Duke of Neufchatel, (BER.. 'MIER) the celebrated Bulletin writer s was daily ex pected there. In the mean time the Paris Journals have put forth a most flattering picture of the state of the half infant and half superannuated army. In all the actions with the Russians on the banks of the Elbe, the latter were uniformly successful, and if they meet with a reverse, it is, as was the case with MottaNeS corps, because the General is killed. But they have another mis fortune to complain of, arising out of the "Treasons of General D'Yottu." The Officer who succeeded MORAND was, it seems, a Saxon, and it is insinuated that his treachery led the way to a partial and tem porary success on the part of the Russians. Indeed, it may be easily seen, from the extracts which we have given, that the French place no de pendence now upon any of their allies ; for in the frothy programme, or avant kropos, of the new drama about to be enacted in Germany, which we have given from the Journal de ?Empire, not a word is said of " our good and faithful allies," and even Austria is entirely forgotten. Much stress is laid by the • French Journalists upon the circumstance of the for- tresses in the rear of the Russians being still in pos session of French garrisons. This can only apply to the case of Dantzic, which, it is true, has not yet surrendered, because the Russians have not pressed the siege in a way to endanger the lives of the inno cent inhabitants ; but before the garrison of Dantzic can make a diversion in favour of their brethren, the Russian and Prussian armies must be annihilated, and the spirit of insurrection extinguished before it has well grown into a flame. Magdeburgh is still also in the possession of the French, and it seems to form a nucleus of tolerable strength; but we presume that when the main bodies of the allied armies come up with their field trains, Magdeburgh must fall. A letter from Bilboa, dated the 30th of March, tvhich w.is received yesterday, contains the following logreezbie intelligence:—" The French have been r.mpletcly defeated in an attempt to take the forti fied pobifun of Castro; LONGA came to our assis tance with 8000 men. The enemy have experienced * great loss ; numbers of their wounded have arrived here." Nine waggons loaded with bullion and gold dust, and under a military guard, arrived this morning from Portsmouth at the Bank. This valuable cargo was brought partly by the Amelia frigate from the Coast of Africa, and by the Praideut from the Cape. PORTSMOUTH, APRIL 20.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM LISBON, DATED APRIL 4. . gs Lord WELLINGTON has ordered the cavalry of the whole Army to extend itself in every possible direc tion all round the country ; for such is the scarcity of forage, that it is utterly impossible for subsistence for the horses to be found. The Household Brigade, composed of the Life Guards and the Blues, is :ca. boned at the villages on the banks of the Tagus, from ten to twenty miles from Lisbon : forage is conveyed to them by water regularly. You may conceive the expence attending this method of finding food ; for the hay and oats are ail 'brought in transports from England, nothing being to be procured here of any sort. The Hussar Brigade marches this day for can tonments, also, on the banks of the Tagus, which is the only plan that can be adopted for feeding them. The 18th Hussars march first, are followed by the 15th, the 10th bringing up the rear : they march in divisions of three troops each. The 4th Dragoon Guards, commanded by Colonel SHERLOCK, march in this day, dismounted, for embarkation for Eng land. That officer is ;aid to be much annoyed and mortified at what he considers a very degrading mea sure, by the regiment being dismounted for the pur. pose of turning over their horses to the Germans ; and in addition to that, it being a German-Officer ' who performed the duty of dismounting them. The 9th and 11th Dragoons follow successively, also dis- , mounted, to embark from the same cause. We have nothing to expect at present in the way of opening , the campaign; for Lord Wscumarort, to the present scarcity of forage, cannot possibly take the fi •1d ; and he is perfectly safe, in his present situation, from all attacks of the French, who.must be as badly of, fur all their resources are drawn from France." The following General Orders were issued at Fre nada, on the 14th ult. : " Head-quarters, Frenada, March 14, 1819. " The various Orders which have been issued at different I times by the Commander of the Forces, to prevent the mlston. duct and outrages committed by the soldiers of the aril's , . on- 1, their marches through the country, have been generally occasion. ed, immediately by some disaster that bad occurred, and by the I fall of one or more soldiers, in contests with the inhabitants, for the protection of that property, of hbich the soldiets were deli• rous of depriving them. " The Commander of the Forces, therefore, trusted that his repeated Orders on this subject would have been obeyed, and particularly as they contain directions for the adoption of a line of conduct applicable to every ease that can occur, which, if adopted, must prove a remedy for the evil, and mu,t prevent the outrages complained of, and their consequent m%fortunes. " Ensign Ross, of the 91h3, was brought befure a Court Ku. tial, for neglect of those Orders ; and for which crime the Get neral Court Martial, of which the Hon. Colonel O'Callaghan is President, have s'entenred that he should be reprimanded; sod he is hereby reprimanded accordingly. " The Commander of the Forces trusts, however, that the Officers of the Army will consider the object of the Orders, the netlect of which is now under comideration, and will find mo. titres for attending to them, ineheir desire to save t'e lives cf their men, which might be wanting in the example betore them, in the consequences of a neglect of those Orders." 1,
