FROM LLOYD'S LIST. GRAMStiIDi Aram 23.—Arrived the Clarkson, Swift, from Monte Video ; Bank Note, Camel, from St. Nicholas; and the Caledonia, —, from Teneriffe. KINGSTON, JAMAICA, FEBRUARY 17. Yesterday his Majesty's ship RAINBOW, of 22 guns, Captain WooLnwinGE, and Avow . brig, of 18 guns, Captain FRAZER, anchored at Port Royal. On Tues day last, off Altavella, the RAINBOW descried a large sail, to which she gave chace, and continued so for 'A hours, when on nearing her, she hove too, and proved to be a French frigate of the largest class, and full of troops ; an action immediately commenced, and kept up for an hour and 25 minutes, within pis tol-shot, when she bore away, leaving the RAINBOW almost a perfect wreck. The Ayes brig fortunately came up at this time and raked the enemy, who then wore round and engaged the Avow for upwards of an hour, when finding the AVON also considerably! initred in her sails and rigging, she bore away and unfirttinately escaped. The RAINBOW and Avow 1:av:: suffered considerable injury, having received several shots between wind and water, and had all their sails, rir;ging, masts, &c. completely cut up, und were for some time unmanageable. The RAlN ;cit: Lid 18 men wounded, many of them severely ; ard the Avow had two men killed, and Lieutenant Currts REID and Mr. SHAKESPEAIt wounded in the arm, and eight men severely wounded. Two of the' Avon's guns were disabled during the action. The enemy also received considerable. damage during the combat, and must hive lost a great number of men, as their decks were crowded previous to the engage ment. MARCH 4.—From the ir.formation derived from; the schooner General Romana, which arrived on 1 Friday se'nnight, of her having seen the French fri-1 gate which was engaged by the RAINBOW and AvoN, the Admiral dispatched the BRAZEN sloop of war, of 18 guns, Captain SHEPHERD (the only vessel of war then in post capable of proceeding so directly to sea), in quest of her on Saturday morning. The BRAZEN was got ready with extraordinary celerity, not having a topmast standing at three P. M. the 1 preceding day; and, besides 4.r own crew, about 401 or 50 men were sent on board of her from other ves sels. From subsequent information it appears, that the above frigate. is not the only enemy's vessel that i , as made her a pp earance i n the s e seas. A small bwedish schooner, named the Carola, from Aux Cayes, bound to St. Bartholomew's, with sundries, eeta incd by the Tstatisti sloop of war, of 18 guns, arrived on Saturday, brought advices from Captain CRANBY, of the POLYPHEMUS, which ship she fell in with a few days before, of his having gained intel ligence of four French frigates being seen in the Mona Passage. The Hon frigate, of 32 guns, Cap- fain FYFFE, and the rmi g, of 12 guns' Lieutenant Boy% arrived at Port Royal on Saturday from Curasoa. On their nearing the harbour, they were ordered by signal to prepare for tea immedi ately, and accordingly they were victualled and water ed on SaturdAy afternoon, and sailed early en Sunday morning. Such promptitude reflects the highest cre dit on the Naval Commander on this station. The Manchester packet, Capt. DAVIS, arrived at Port Royal, on Saturday, with the Jamaica Mail.— Shz sailed from Falmouth on the 16th ult. in com pany with the Snake packet, for Lisbon, and six other packets, which had been all wind-bound. Two days after, the Manchester and Snake fell in with a French brig of war, which chaced them for some time, when the day beginning to close, to avoid a night action, they both hove to, and gave him battle. The Man chester getting within close gun-shot, the enemy then met with such a warm reception as compelled him to haul off in a short period, apparently much da maged. The following day the Manchester passed a number of merchant vessels, supposed to be the out ward-bound West India fleet. On the 9th instant, the Manchester arrived at Barbadoes, and quitted it the following day ; on the 11th she touched at Mar tinique, and sailed again the same evening. The SA RACE.N brig, of 18 guns, Capt. BLUETT, arrived on Sunday, from Curasoa, having under her convoy the transport brig John and Robert, STRATTAN, with a detachment of the 18th, or Royal Irish regiment of foot on board from thence. Yesterday, pursuant to public notice, a committee of the Members of the late Assembly for the county of Surrey, met at the house of Messrs. HARVY, WEST, and Co. for the purpose of examining sundry samples of a substitute for hemp manufactured from the Plan tain Tree, and awarded the premium of se2oo to Dr. STEWART WEST, of St. Thomas in the East, for the most approved specimer:, agreeably to the Regu lations of the House of the 12th May last. In order to obtain the most accurate knowledge of the quality of the different specimens, four in number, and all upwards of 5001bs. seventy pounds weight of each were, by the favour of Commissioner WOLLEY, manu factured into rope at his Majesty's Dock-yard at Port Royal, and the following is the result of an experi ment made there by the Master-attendant : Cwt.Qrs.l.bs. King's 9-thread inch-rope, broke by the weight of 6 1 14 Dr. West's 'pecimen - - - - 6 2 0 Specimen from the Parish of St. Andrew - - 6 1 0 Ditto Portland - - - - 4 2 0 Ditto St. George - - - . - 3 2 0 The specimens were made of the same size as the King's rope. EAS7*EI LORD MAYOR'S DANNER- Yetiterday being Easter Monday, the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs went in state to Christ's Hospital, at tended by several Aldermen and their Ladies, the Recorder, Chamberlain, and other City Lase Of ficers. The procession moved from the Mansion House about two o'clock, preceded fry about 800 of Christ's Hospital boys, with the emblems of the dif ferent branches of education they pursue. The Lady Mayoress rode in the state-coach, by her father's side; she is a beautiful, young, and interesting girl; sh. was most elegantly dressed in straw-coloured satin, richly ornamented with white crape and silver; her head was adorned with an elegant bandeau of dia monds and a plutne of coloured feathers. Next to the state coach was his Lordship's private carriage, in which were Mr. Smith, his Lordship's son, and three . elegantly dressed ladies. The sermon was preached by the Reverend Father in God the Lord Bishop of Norwich. His Lordship took his text from the eighth chapter of 2d Corinthians, and seventh verse " Therefore, as you abound in every thing, in faith, and utter ance, and knowledge, and in aU diligence, and In your love to us, see at you abound in his grace also.' About half past four they returned to the Man sion House, where an elegant dinner was served up with all the delicacies of the season. The 'grand baron of beef, which weighed 2701b5. was placed on a pedestal at the bottom of the Egyptian Hall, and cut by two carvers in white jackets, who han ded it round. The tables were four in number with a cross table at the head of the hall, at which the Lord and Lady Mayoress sat with the Nobility. The tables were adorned with five beautiful temples and two triumphal arches, above eight feet high, with some smaller pillars, all embellished with naval and military trophies, &c. &c. The parterre or ground work of the upper table displayed different devices ; at one corner Britannia receiving Magna Charta ; and, at the other, his Lordship's portrait, with the City Arms, emblazoned. The illumination of the Egyptian Hall ball-room, as well as every other place, was more brilliant than we ever recollected it. The grand balloon of variegated lamps, with fes toons and devices, beautifully diversified, had a fine appearance. The grand painting of the Battle of Agincourt, which covered one end of the Egyptian Hall, had a fine effect, and was much admired. At six o'clock a most sumptuous dinner was served to about 300 persons, amongst whom were the fol lowing Nobility and Gentry- His ExceUency the Persian Ambassador, Earl Fitz-William, the Bishop of Norwich, Lord Porchester, Lord Erskine, Lord Keith, Lord Milton, Lord George Grenville, and Lord Hawke; Sir James Shaw, Mr. Alderman Combe, Mr. Davies Giddy, Mr. William Smith, Sir Thomas Plomer, Colonel Wardle, M.P.

Mr. HARVEY COMM returned thanks for hittself; and assured them, he would alwAys persevere in that line of conduct which was approved by the Corpo ration of London, and the majority of his tountry- Men. The healths of Lord Keith, Lord Milton, and Lord Hawke, were then drat*, and they severally returned thanks. On the health of the Sheriffs of London being drank, Mr. Sheriff Woof) regretted the absence of his colleague in office, who, he was sure ; would be highly gratified, if present, at the honour conferred on him. He felt it a grateful returd, and also felt a something that told him that since he had been in office he had done his duty. The LORD Mayon observed, that their time grew short, as they would be obliged to join the Ladies in the Ball-room. He wodid therefore give them the health of a Gentleman who had shewed much zeal in the setvice of his country, " Colonel Wardle." • Colonel WARDLE observed, that he never felt so much pleasure in addresting his Lordship as he did at that time, for it was the first time since he had the honour of becoming a Freeman of the City of London. He then returned thanks for the flattering manner in which his health had been drank. The healths of the Lord Say and Sele, and Sir G. Ousley were drank, and they severally returned thanks.—The company then proceeded to the ball-room. THB BALL Was opened at ten o'clock, by the Lady Mayoress and Colonel Kennedy ; they danced a minuet in a most capital style ; the dancing of her Ladyship was much admired. The ball was kept up, with spirit' until a late hour. Yesterday, being St. George's Day, some meetings took place at the West end of the town, which pre vented many of the Nobility from honouring the city festival with their company. EASTER HOLIDAYS. , The sports attendant on this annual festival cozn• menced yesterday, and, from the fineness of the wea ther, with more than usual brilliancy. EPPING HUNT. To drive the deer with hound and horn, The Cociv , ies took their way. Yesterday, previous to the buck being enlarged, there Was an immense concourse of Sportsmen appeared on the ground, the majority of whom were mounted on animals not capable of keep ing up with a lame goat. The buck's horns were adorned with ribands, and as the scent did net lie in consequence of the warns and dry weather, the hounds were once or twice at a fault, to the great delight of the lazy hunters and bad horsemen. The bounds did not run a mile before several of the Cockney sports men *ere thrown out, while they were Mortified by the gibes and jeers of these wbo followed on foot. Such a scrambling up hedges, and falling into ditches, was never before witnessed, and the old buck soon gave the hounds and the hunters the go-4.— There wee some of the company exceedingly well mounted, and well understood the chace • but on the whole, the equestrian dis play was highly todierous ;ad laughable. • GREENWICH. • The unconunon fine weather yesterday attracted an imtneme concourse of people to partake of the rural sports of Greenwich Hill. The fashienables arrived in the stages, which were crowded within and without side : the inferior &potter were conducted from town in buggies and dillies. The town of Greenwich pre.' sorted as usual the old ezhibitiona raree-chows, &c. &c. and the file eleisspßielli - GrThiWiel Park displayedtba - watitediiiitilints of throwing at toys, and running down the steep hi!l, attended by thousands of votaries of all ranks and conditions. On their retort a stock of fresh spirits was taken in; the lads were then quali fied, for love or war, and several well contested pugilistic com bats took place on the road. Others were inclined for vocal me lody, and inspired by their potent libations, sung in coacert from stage coaches, dust carts, and waggons. The holiday hurley &Irby continued to a late hour, and many of the merry folks only retired to sleep, to rise with redoubled ardour for a continuation Of the sports this day. THEATRES. - CovaNT-Osanzu.—The Tragedy of rag Richard ths Third was represented last night, in which Cosset perfdrmed the past of the crooked-back Tyrant in a very masterly manner. The house was crowded in every part, and we never saw a more or derly holiday audience.—Harlopia Pedlar was the entertaituneuld THE SURREY THEATRE Opened with the Beggar's Opera, and a new comic Pantomime, called Qin the Corner, or Harkgrin School-by. The pit, which takes in the whole of the ride, is much the largest ever seen in any London Theatre, and can contain 1200 persons, conveniently seated. It was completely full, as was every part of the house, to the top of the slips. The auditory was of a very respectable des cription, and the whole performance went off with the greatest applause. THE SANS PAREIL THEATRE. This Theatre opened under the management of Mr. HOLLAND, late of Covent Garden Theatre. The excellent combination of entertainments will doubtless render this elegant little Theatre highly attractive. A grand Caledonian Spectacle, called the Castle Ellinietrgh, or Genorra the Princess of Scotland, in which the sce nery, music, and decorations are excellent, afforded much amuse ment and satisfaction to a numerous audience. ASTLEY'S AMPHITHXATRE Was also crowded in every part ; the piece represented was a new Spectacle, called The Blood-red Knight:, or The Fatal Bridge ; whirls was banoured with signal applause. Not only in the pet. formance, but in the dresses and scenery, every degree of zeal was evinced by the veteran Proprietor to prove his sense of public favour, and to deserve a continuance of that support which has so long distinguished this Amphitheatre. The Equestrian Perfor mances were, as usual, admirable ; and the Pantomime, which is not deficient in horror, was given with great and appropriate effect. SADLER'S WELLS Opened with a new asd splendid pantomime. called the ifitroh str,erlegmix aid Meorisvikonack. This theatre hats for some years excelled its rivals in this species of amusement, add certainly has lost nothing of its reputation by this last effort in this line.— The scenery was beautiful, and GRIMALDI was, as usual, irre sistibly comic. The other parts of the evening's entertainment also were highly relished by a very crowded audience. NEW TH EATRE, TOTTENHAM STREET. The Rooms, formerly known to the public as the Kin's An cient Concert Rooms, have been fitted up as a Summer 1 heatre, in a light, yet elegant style, and were last night opened for the Grit time to a very respectable audience, with a new Burletta, containing the songs, and a sufficient portion of the dialogue to connect them, of the favourite English Opera of Love in a ?Tillage ; which, considering It as a first performance, in an entirely new Theatre,was extremely well got up. Indeed the whole of the entertainments far exceeded our expectations. The Theatre, in its form and size, approximates to that of Sadler's Wells ; is painteda pale flesh colour, with emblematical devices ; and is lighted by a number of elegant cut glass chan deliers. BREAD.--This day the LORD MAYOR, after inspect ing the returns, ordered the price to contiue the same as List week. The Mayor of Hull, in consequence of a do antes address, signed by a number of respectable names, has declined to comply with a requisition to call a gene ral meeting of the inhabitants, to take into considera tion the conduct of Ministers in planning and execut ingibe late Expedition to Walcheren. / ? . :.
