The Rein Deer had on board a valuable cargo of [laves, and when within about 74 hours fail of Kingflon, fell in with a French fchooner privateer, of very fuperior force, from St. Domingo. An engagement com menced, which kited an hour and a half, within pit: ,tol fhot, when the fore and main topmalls and top fails of the enemy being fhot away, he formed the re • folution of hoarding, lathed hirnfelf to the fore and main chains, and attempted to carry the fhip fword in hand ; but a few 2-pound carronades, filled with cannifter Ihot, were dirsded townwards with fuck effed, that he immediately difengaged his fhip, by which many of his people fell into the fea, and were drowned. The Rein Deer would dottbdefs have taken the privateer, had the not made off by her (weeps. The latter, on arriving at Cuba, acknow ledged that 28 of her men had been killed in the &diem. The French Captain has the fingers of one hand fhot away, and was wounded in the other arm. The Rein Deer had only two men killed, and three Wounded. The (lave fhip had, fhortly before the action, loft half of her men by the imprefs of two fri gates. The privateer proved to be la Sirene, of 18 Yuri, and Bo men, commanded by one Dumas. The following are fnme further particulars of the Funeral of Mr. Pt rr, in addition to thole already gi wen: At daylight on Saturday morning the railing was completed all the way that the procetlion was to go from Wellmintler Hall to Weftmintler Abbey. The place infide of the railing was then gravelled over, and a battalion of the 3ci Regiment of Foot Guards was placed in tingle files on each fide. A great num., ber of police officers were difper!ed about the doors of the two Houfes of Parliament, and in different parts of the (fleets through which the proceffion was to pars. A party of the Hurk Guards was potted at the entrance into Wefiminfler Hall, and another at the great Wellern Gate of the Abbey ; there were (mall detachments flationed at the principal avenues leading to thole places through which the proceffinn was to pars. Until paft twelve o'clock, however, there were fo few people afferubled, that a dozen con (fables would have been futficiedt to have prefetved order among the fpettators. At twelve o'clock all the peels's' who were to form the proceffion were marthalled in their proper order, according to their rank, by the Officers of the Herald's College, and the arrangement reviewed by Sir Isaac limn, Garter King at Arms. Alt half after twelve the muffled drums and fifes in Wellmin. act Hall, playing the ro4th pfalm, announced the approach of the .pr oceffion. An outline of the order of proceffion has been al ready given;—the principal perfons who formed a part of it have alfo been named. But, betides thole already mentioned who officiated as pall bearers, ban ner bearers, fupporters, arc. there were a great num ,ber of other pertons of diainCtion who walked in the meet:lion. The Earls of Daarreoovu and Boca 11110t14111SHIII, Lords CASAAAAAAON, aAWICIIIIUIY, AreeFLAlllll, and Hoop ; the 41.11ARIR of the Houle of Commons, and the Loma Marcie, were obferved among the number. All the 0 - mm4lh:tied O ffi cers of the Cinque Port Volunteers alto attended, and paid the Jail tribute of refpe& to their late Colonel. When the High Conflable firft entered, followed be Fuoeral Conduelors, the Penfioners of the Trinity Houfe fell on each fide, and formed an avenue for the remainder of the proctflion to pals through. On entering the door, they were met by the Dean and Chapter, who led the proceflion up the aifle of the Church, until they arrived at the family vault. The body was placed on treffils near the grave, which was ready open, and the coffins of the late Earl and Countefs of CHATHAM Were exposed l 0 view. The populace, as the body paffei, rook of their hats, and altogether conduited themfelves with the greatelt decorum. There were nn fpeartors infide the church, exclufire of thole who formed the procetlion, escept a few Ladies and Gentlemen. frien.ls of the Dean, Btc, who were accommodated on a fcaffolding co vered with black cloth. The Earl of CHATHAM was feated at the herd of the coffin, and his fupporters on (fools on each fide ; the Militant Mourners, and Pall-bearers, on (tools near them ; the Relations were on the other fide the grave. The Carpet and Cufhion were laid on a table at the back of the Earl of Csarnals. The Bannerolls were ranged round the Body. The Funeral Service was performed by the Lord Bilhop of Lomo..m, in x very impredive manner, which 'ailed about 25 minutes, when the Body was lowered into the grave; %ditch done, the Officers broke their white Itaff>, and Garter pr claimed the titles of the deceafed ; to which he added, Non Ilbl, fcd Pattiz, visit. After the interment, the cavalcade returned in a kind of irregular procellion to the Houfe of Lords. The whole was over about twenty minutes after three. After the Company feparated, workmen took down the hangings, efcutcheons, &c. in the Painted Chamber and Long Gallery of the Houfc of Lords, as their Lora:tips were to meet this day. A very extraordinary circumflance attended the preparation of the family vault for Mr. Yurr's inter ment. On the vault dnor ',zing thrown open, the workmen, to their extreme amazement, Oster-ye,' the coffins of the late Earl, the Countels of CHATHAM, and that of their daughter, Lady H. ELLIOT, lying on their fides ! Whether the men imagined that they had changed their pofition in confequence of their boilterous vifit, we know not t but certain it is, that they threw down their pickaxes and !hovels, and et - - taped with great precipitation ! On invelligation, it was difenverect, that Pt the time of the fire in the Abbey, all the vaults had bren hornd.sted from the plugs that communicated with the rhames, and that ' in this temporary deluge the cAsits had floated, and on its fubfiding were lett in the extraordinary politica in which the/ were the' discovered.
