WILSON t the Mary efe.orted her as far as this port, and then patted up Channel, with the fhip Fortune, of London, from the Bay of Honduras, and a Jamaica (hip under her convoy.

We are happy tohive it now in out power to fay, that It was the Mary above mcmentioned which fought f.) and had it not been that her eompleinent ' Of men was much reduced, by many of them having been iMpre ff ed before the adion, it Was the intention ' of Captain WILSON and his cre* to have attempted to carry the Lord Nelfori by boarding : during the feveral *Sion' with her, the Mary had eight men Wounded, one of whom has finee died.

Pollock and Currie have both left families ; the for. user a widow and feven children, and the other a widow and four children.

The merchant lately died at Philadel phia, and his executors are the profecutors. It is not true as afferted in Tome of the papers, that the chips deftined for the defence of the river Thames are commanded by Captains of Indiamen. They are ennunneded by the elder brethren of the Trinity Houle, a body of veteran icemen, and under them as Lieutenants and Volunteers in private Ration, ferve Captains of EaR Indiamen and merchant nips in other refpeaable lines. There are therefore, in there thipe, various defcriptions of valuable Nautical chit. raders, whore talents and exertions would at this important moment be loft to their country, if not fo employed. Yefterday morning a Court Martial was held on board his Majefty's ftsip GLADIATOR, at Portfinouth, on Lieut.

They were firing Riot at us continually for 38 hours, and ran a diftance of asa miles. We had a number of French prifoners, taken from our prizes on board, who ex , claimed with aftonifhment and admiration at the exertions of Delta feamen, and our bold and gal. lant Capt. Scene. I have no time to tell you the Rory, which is highly honourable to the Officers and jolly crew of the Larwasc•" The following is an extra& of a letter from an Officer in the Channel Fleet, dated ()Bober 19. " The French (quadrat, confifting of four fail of the line and a frigate, which got into Ferrol, while Sir Edward Pellew was chafing the Dutch fquadron, has received a Rrong reinforcerrent of men from France, and remains in the inner harbour, together with a Dutch (tip of the line and a corvette, apparently ready, and only waiting a favourable opportunity for putting to fens. It is fuppofed they arc defined with troops to Ireland. The French fhip of the line and frigate from St. Domingo, chafed into Coronas, the ad of September, Rill remain in that port. The French, finding the blockade fo clofely kept up, fend all their captures to ports in the Bay ; particularly to St. Andero, where feveral valuable Englifh merchantmen are now lying. So predomi nant is French influence at Ferrol and Coronae, and to Inch a Rate of abjett fupinencfs has the Spacial' Government been reduced, that the latter has lately ['dieted to be infulted with impunity, by the French pillagers, a party of Englifh officers, who bad gone for the porpofe of paffing a convivial day at Ferrol. The day happening to be the anniverfary of what they are plaided to call their Republic, they caufed the Englifh Rag tnalie difplayed in the molt degrad ing manner they could device, and carried their nut rage fo far as to force a beat hook through the Eng lifh cover. There is a French °sip of the lifta and a fr.rte is Cadiz harbour." 77IEATRES. Dettar.tsta.--The great novelty of Saturday evening was the firll appearance of a new candidate for vocal faMe in the part of Carlo:, in 7be !Armes.— We underhand that the Gentleman's name is Las. The lineaments of his countenance amply confirm the report that he is of Jewifh extratlion. He is not to be blamed for entering into this path to diflinetion, as he has received fr orn Nature a molt excellent voice, powerful and tweet, of great compafs, and eon lideralde flexibility. But he mutt exert himfelfmuch before he at; ains to eminence. He teems not ►ery proficient in fcience, and as yet he difplays but very little delicacy or mile in his execution. His manner is very bad, and timidity alone will not account for fucb ernbarrallinent and clownifhnefs. However, he has no reafon to be difenuraged. Zeal and perfe verance leen alone neceirary to enfure his faccefs.— He met with a very warr.i reception, which was in part to afcribed to his real merits, and in part to the warm partiality of his countrymen. The other parts were mod admirabty well fuflain ed. it isnot poffible to conceive any thing fupetior to Mrs. Moutfrata's airs in Clara. Mifs Ds Cams., her finging and aging being taken together, m4de a very gonad Louip; and Mifs Porr was infinitely amufing in old Mar• l fwet ; & JETT'S Da t leronte, DIG NUM's Antonio, and DowroN's Lillie ./ . /;:ac are all en titled to h;,111 praite. We make no doubt that the piece will have a run. COT kNT GARDRN.—On Saturday eveniog Ba ait ra and STORAGE came out for the feafon in the opera of Family clOssarreir. They were cheered upon their en trance with a very hearty welcome, and Loon proved that their power to give pleafure could not well be over-rated. Their efforts made the piece go off well, crude, Rupid, and abfurd as it is. biome dint3rbance was occalioned by an attempt to encore the Song, MiG Moles, Mill Abrahams, Mifs Levi." The Ifraelites heard it once with great patience, but thought it rather too much that fuch names Mould be ridiculed twice in one night. BLANCHARD went through the whole a recoil,' time, but in the mid& of fo much noife that he could fcarcely be overheard. We are defired by Colonel EARLE to cvntrarSB a paragraph copied into the tirat on the 15th init. from a morning paper, as in many particulars it wat incortal. General CRAIG, who has been reported in the va rious papers as having fuddenly died, yellerday very good humouredly contradieled this unaccountable rumour by an affemblage of his particular friends to dinner.

A reward of tab guineas was inftantly paid equally between thes e which they received with gratitude. Yefterday, owing to the finenets of the weather. there was an uncommon dirplay of beauty, elegance. and faihion, in Hyde Park, conGdering the feafon of the year.

About half paa two the party alight ed at the gate of Kent - mitt= Gardens. and walked down the long avenue to the palace. There were ja few (hagglers in the gardens upon their entrance ' but on their return a great coneourfe of people af fembled round them.
