His Majeßy's troop Favourite, off lac Trig Poogaa, D,cember 28, 1805. Sir—l have the honour to acquaint Ton, that, in obedience to your orders of the 11)th intim, I pro ceeded in his Majefly's ikon under nay command to the Iflands des Loh, where I was informed that the privateer you fent me in purfuit of was at anchor in the river of Pongas.- I immediately fhaped a caurfe fur that place ; and, when within a few league s of it. two fail were difcovered, which Mr. Vitzvom (who volunteered to be our pilot) affirmed were veffela which had been captured by her. Conceiving it to be my duty. I intiantly made all fail, and gave chacc to them. Owing to the fhallownefs of the water, and incorreftnefs of the charts, we did not reach the entrance of the river till this afternoon, when we dif covered- the privateer under fail, and working out. She allowed us to approach within half gun flint, when fhe attempted to get away. I immediately com menced a fire from the bow guns, which Eton induced i her to (horten fail, and, t my furprife, h:eil athwart, and rake us. I did n *mole to altar the (hip's entitle, becaufe it woul ...... prevented my getting fo near as I intended r but, when within our own length, I lulled tip, and gave her our broadfide.— The Captain had the temetity to continue engaging na for twenty minutes, which colt him and ten others their lives, and twenty-five men badly wound ed ; whilft I am happy to fay, that Lieut. ODLUM, of the Royal African Corps (a paffenger.) is the only perfon hurt on board of us, and he is !lightly wounded. On taking poffeflion, (be proved to be le General Blanchard privateer, mounting fixteen guns, and manned with one hundred and thirty French and Spaniards. I cannot do fufficient jullice to the zeal and perfeverance displayed by Lieutenants PARSONS and INGRAM, Mr. SwiDY, the mailer, as well as all the other officers, (cameo, and marines under my command, in a tedious Chace of three dar, obliged, principally, to fweep and tow the (hip, where we had never more than three fathoms water; and regret very fincercly that their bravery and good conduft was not diredled againft a veffel of greater force. I have the honour to be; dec. (Signed) JOkIII oasis. MILITARY PROMOTIONS. WAR OFFICE, APRIL 12.

Of late we have received numerous letters from our Friends, in forminz us tint the Ncwfpaper Agents, by whom their Papers are forwarded into the country, often fubltitute others for This Sra a. This i. a (pales of impolltion to which oar cuftomers only can apply the proper remedy. Let them write to their prefent Agents to dilcontinue reeving them, and on in forming us we fh3ll give their orders to Naafi:nen, who do not predict the fame fraud. If they do not know the name of the Agent, let them di continue to take the Fut:dinned Paper, nate the date when they flop, and pay only up to that time, fending us notice to provide them with another Agent.

Long Ann. 17; 3-16 Conf. for aec. 6ofl We underhand it is the intention of Government to make an extenfive promotion of the Officers whO ferved in the late glorious action under Admiral DUCKWORTH, off St. Domingo. The three fenior Lieutenants of the SUMS, the Admiral's Chip, are to he promoted to the rank of Commanders, by which means the brave Lieutenant, who is reported to have been badly wounded, will be brought within the pro motion. The two fenior Lieutenants on board every other Ihip are alfo to be made Commanders, and an equal proportion of Midfhipmen are to be advanced to the rank of Lieutenants. Such liberality and juf tice from the new Minillry on the Left event of this kind that has occurred under their adminifiration, does infinite credit to their feelings, and cannot fail of producing the ben poffible dices on fimilar occa- Goo'. Our brave tars muff ever ►e invincible, fo long as they will go to battle with the certainty that their great and unexampled efforts in defence of their coun try will meet with the applaufes and rewards of a great and generous nation. The manner in which tl e SUM., of 74 guns, was led to the attack of a French fbip, of tao guns, has not been exceeded even in the annals of the Bi itith Navy. The Witiosot Carrie packet, Captain Surto', has arrived at Falmouth, with mails from Jamaica, after a pafrage of fifty-three days. She left lying a► Port Royal his Majefty'sfhip Sums, Vice Admiral DUCKWORTH ; CANOPUS, of 8o guns, Rear Admiral Louis ; Don goat, of 8o ; &amnia and ATLAS, of 74 guns each, and feveral frigates, with the French prizes le Alexandre of 80, Brave, and Jupiter, of 74 guns each, which were refitting for the pafrage home. The Spanifh floop of war Rapofa, of t 6 guns and too men, cut out from a Spanifh port by the boats of his Majefty's fhip la FRANCHISE, had arrived at Jamaica.

A Gottenburgh Mail has arrivetl,bringing accounts from that place of the 4th infiant, which Rate that the Ruffian army in Poland has been greatly rein forced ; and that it is in motion towards the Pruffian frontier. Indeed, letters from Embden, received on Saturday, Rate, that the city of Warfaw is aBually in potTeffion of the Ruffians. It is added, that the Ruffian troops about to enter Turkey amount to 73,000 men ; but that a corps of referve was forming on the frontiers of Befferabia. It is Rated in there accounts, that the King of Sweden is determined to adhere to the caufe of Ruffia, and that Denmark has lignified to Pruffis her with to remain neuter, but this will be impoffible. DUTCH JOURNALS. We have this day received Dutch journals to the Loth infant.. A letter in one of them, dated Copenhagen, the z9th ult. lays, " Our troops which were Rationed in HoMein, are about to return home. The camp which thefe troops formed will begin to break up on the t9th of April." At the date of this letter, the Notification of Prullia refpetling the (hutting up the Northern ports againa the commerce of this country, had not been publifhed—a meafure which involves the interefts cf Denmark fo deeply, that we fhould not be furprized if it Ihotild occafion a fufpenfion of the intended re moval of the troops from the vicinity of Hamburgh. The following-articles are alto deferving of notice: Paßts, APR 6.—His Excellency the Minitler for Foreign Affairs has wtitten the following letter to M. Mardochee Elias, at Bourdeaux 14 Sir—l have the honour to inform you, that I have Rrittly enjoined the French Miniaers at Drell den and Caffel, to make the firongeft remonflrances to thefe Courts on the &fiat of the laying afide the heavy impofitions laid upon the fubjetts of France, who profefs the Jewifh Religion in the States of Saxony and Heffe. The French laws, allowing no dlilinflion to be made between the believers of the various Religions of the world, will take under their protetlion every Frenchman in a foreign country, for the purpofe of prof - crying hint in the enjoyment of his religious opinions. The French laws will alto WM upon this privilege for their fubjetts, i:5 v:true T of the treaties concluded by the French Empire with there Powers. I am cqnfident that the remon• [trances of our Plenipotentiaries will have the defied effe6t : fo that the fubjeas of France, profeffing the Jewifh Religion, will no longer be fubjea to fuels no juft impofitions." The Arch Treafurer has intimated to the mer chants of Genoa, that the Government of Tunis is occupied in getting ready a frigate, a corvette, two brigs, and two half galleys, betides a great number of troops, and is thereby :Olin deceitfully, and may feize upon the coaß of Italy by furprize. The mer chants of Genoa are therefore advertifed, as well as the Neapolitan !hips in that harbour, of their danger, by the above intimation, which concludes by inform. ing them that the Government of Tunis has not yet &clan dged the Kingdom,of Naples as belonging to the F ch. 'l'hrench 5 per Cents were at Gs francs, and 4s ccntitnii. Ftoa sum Matra 30.—We hear from Genoa that a part of the Imperial equipage of Napoleon had ar- rived at Tulin, and that his Majefty the Emperor and King was loon expetied these in perfoth in order to via Naples and Venice. On Saturday Princeffes Anovirra and Sovora, attended by Lord CATHCART, General M • . and Colonel TayLoa, took an airing on borfaback Cranbouro. YetLerday morning his Maisam 4. Gums and Soma, attended by Lord ... and General MAMMIRS, Went to St. Georges to hear a lemma by Dr. Donswoam Yeflerday the Princes of Wat.ss left t Higham, In Hampfhite, on a Yifit to the I CARNARYOM and family. The 15th Dra2,oons. commanded by his Highnefs the Duke of Cusiasassio, are to King's duty. lhe one half of the Blues have been moved to Reading.—The 14th Dragoons are on their march to IViricheiler.—The Scots Greys are on their march to Scotland. We take the earlieft opportunity of contradining the notice that appeared in our Paper of Friday WI. concerning Major Wiwi-Amu BURROWS'S marriage with Mils SMITH, of Thurfham Hall, tire; as we have the bet authority for ;lacing that there are no grounds whatever for fuch an affertion, and that no fuch Lady or Place are known to be in that neigh bourhood. New York Papers to the 9th ult, three days later than thole which reached town on Friday, bring the important intelligence, that the whole of Mr. Wright's Bill, relative to the impreffing of the feamen of the United States, had, after a long dircuffion, been re jeetetl, except the words " Be it enacted ;" and that a new Bill was brought up in its room, which met with a Gmilar fate. The American Government was about to fend a Minilter Extraordinary to the Britifh Court to re. monftrateon their grievances, bur it is now underftood that fuch a meafure will be difpenfed with. On the 26th of February, Mr. MITCNILL, from the Committee appointed on she fubjed, brought up the report on ?}loft parts of the Memorials from this merchants of New York and others, relative to.pro. Tiding a farther naval armament for the public de- fence. The report, after referring to the thong real Eons urged in theft memorials, and to the Prefident's meffage, of the 3d of December, relative to the coo l fiderable provifion made for materials for coaftrud6 iog (hips of war, obferves— " That calculating the appropriation which will be required to augment to a very confiderable degree the naval force of the mein I contemplating the Waits and depredations committed by fo. I rapers ow our coatis, and at the mouths of our molt frecigtot. ed harbours, and dtimating the protection and (murky to the ten ritury of the nation and the petions and property of its citing*. by an enlargement of the means of maritime defence, the Gans mime are of opinion, " That it is expedient to make prowition by law for the appropriation of aoy balance which may remain once.. pendcd, of the Mediterranean Fund, to this purpsh of building flips of the line, agreeably to the ad of Feb. as, 1 803.'• The Secret expedition which has left New York, under General MIRANDA, is the fubjea of confl4nt converfAtion among the people of the United States, and the general opinion kerns to be, that its objet is South America. The Government Paper obfetves, that three of the Spanilh' Provinces are tully organized for the change, and will open their doors to the invaders,— So confident are the partizans of the expedition, that they affert nothing but a miracle can prevent its fuc• cefs. THB PROPIRTY Tax.—The Property Tax Bill, which was ordered to he printed for the ufe of the Members, was, on Saturday, delivered ottr. The Bill enads, that the duties chargeable in refpeet of falarier, wage:, profit, &c. above sol. a year, (hall be detained and Itopt out of the fame by the employer, whether payment be made annually or not; an ac count of which duties is to be tranfmitted to the Ex chequer or the Tax Office ; and all principals in office are to pay the duties chargeable on their inferiors in office, and to be allowed to flop the amount of fuch duties nut of their falaries, and in all cafes where fuch income (hall exceed 501. and be lets than tool. will be entitled to a deduction, after the rate of as. for every zos. by which the Income proved and all :wed !hall he Ids than tool.
