CAPTURED INDLIMEN. The following are the particulars of the proceed ings on board the Europe, during the action between the Hon. Company's ships Stteatbam, Commodore DALIt ; the 'Europe, Captain Gurroaz ; and the .Hen Company's extra ship Lord Keith, Captain CAMPBELL : and the French frigate la Caroline, of 82 guns, and 350 men, commanded by M. Fterritk, on the morning of "May 31 lat. and long. th e , pre ceding day, 10: 21. N. and'9o. 48 E. long. per-chro unmade!. 2 At sh. 30m. A. M. observed a strange sail to windward, piped the hammocks up, cleared the ship for action, and beat to quarters, though from her first appealiance we supposed her to be his Majesty's 'ship Victor, our late convoy, With which we parted only six days before. At 7A. M. when within mus; ket 'shot, she hoisted the French ensign, and com menced a brisk fire of round, bar, and grape, Which we immediately returned, and after a smart cannon ade of thirty minutes, she wore round our bows, giv ing us her raking fire in passing, and running down to leeward of the Streatham, commenced the action with her. At this period we had two men killed, viz. T. Roberts (armourer), and J. Harmony (fo:-e -topman'a, and one Lascar wounded. Our fore-top sail yard carried - away in the slings, two shot through the fore mast; four of the starboard, and two of the larboard; four shrouds cut through, all 'the top-mast bitckstays, braces, and bowling, shot away, and the sails completely riddled, several shot is the hull, three of which were . 'between wind and water. From 7h. 50m. A. M. until about eight, the Streatham was op posed to a smart fire from the frigate, when we ob served her colours were hauled down. During this time every exertion was made 00 our part to join the contest, but from the crippled State of our rigging, &c. every attempt was fruitless, bracts and bowlins being all shot away. The frigate now bore up, thwarted. the Lord Keith's haivse, giving her a rak ing fire ; wore round, kept firing at her in passing, hauled .her wind under her stern, and gave her the rake astern, the Keith returning her fire as she passed. During this time we kept up a fire whenever a shot would tell. The frigate now hove to on our lar board quarter, and recommenced the action, which was continued for about ten minutes, When she filled a 4 stood to the N. W. At this time we had received several shots in the hull, on the larboard side. We then passed to leeward of the Streatham, nine A. M. and hailed her to know if she had struck, which was answered in the aifirmative. The Keith now made all sail, and stood away to the south . and eastward. — At a quarter past nine A. M. the frigate tacked, and stood for the Streatham, to take possession of her.— We had not at this time the least management of the ship, and the carpenter had reported there was five feet water in the hold. Capt*in Gelstone called in conseqnence a consultation of officers and passengers, before whom a statement of our damages was laid, and the different opinions asked of what would be most advisable to be done, when it was the unani mous opinion, that from the Streatham having struck, the Keith having left us, and the disabled and un manageable state of our own ship, it would be but sacrificing the crew to make further resistance ; and having endeavoured by every means in our power to protect the property of the Company, and support the honour of the British flag, we were reduced to the unpleasant necessity of lowering our colours to the French frigate, in Caroline, Capitaine Feretier, of 48 guns, and 3.50 men ; and at ten A. M. we were taken possession of by Mr. Basin, Second Lieutenant, when Captain Gelstone and officers were sent on board the frigate to surrender their arms, when every polite attention was shewn them. PARTICULARS ON 'BOARD TILE EUROPE AFTER TILE CAP TAIN AND OFFICERS HAD QUITTED HER. The leak in the evening increased to at i feet, and on the following morning, finding the water to gain u pon the pumps, made signal to the frigate, which came within hail ; reported the situation of the ship, and received orders to remove the passengers on hoard the Streatham, to throw tl.: guns overboard, and that boats would be kept in readiness to take out the people, should it be necessary to abandon the ship, in which case to scuttle her ; applied for more hands, which was refused, as the boats of the frigate were not considered as sufficient to relieve more than those already on hoard the Europe, and her (ma peop le.— The passengers were accord i ng l y removed on abo:ircl the Streatham, where they remained the following day, and were treated with every possible attention and civility by Monsieur Rabaudy, tl4e officer in chary, as well as by the passengers of that ship. On the following day the leak on board the Eu rope,' wh i ch was discovered to arise from the ;36 shot holes in the counter, six feet under water, having been reported stopped, and the water got under, the passengers were ordered on board again, and the Europe made sail for the Isle of France, in company with the frigate and the Streatham. It is but ccmmon j'istice to Monsieur Bazin, before mentioned, as well as to Mons. Des Planches, the officer who remained in charge, and to his second, Monsieur Duval, to cay, that every possible attention was paid to the assengers, who were left in 'the undisturbed posses sion of the cabin, with a particular request that they -would consider themselves therein as if nothing had happened, and whatever requests were made, they were granted with a readiness evincing a real wish to oblige. The only property lost was plundered by the Lascars, belonging to the ship. The men sent on board from the frigate behaved with great civility. The Ladies were, by this treatment, soon relieved from their fears, which must have been considerable, both from the unexpected commencement of the firing, before they had time to retire to the gun-room, and from a shot having passed through it while there, and the splinters, which in consequence, flew on all s' des. In stating what is due to our enemies, we must not fey get to pay the just tribute to the conduct of our friends a'so ; and xt is but truth to say, that every exertion was made on the part of Capt. Gelstone, his otficeri, and ship's company, the whole of whom evinced the utmost readiness to recommence the ac tion, if that measure could, in the general opinion, have been attended with such a prospect of ultimate success or escape, as to have jusliefied the sacrifice of lives, which must inevitably have ensued from a pro longed contest, witla a force so far saperior so the Europe. FRENCH Accpultr OF ThE ACTION: --- Extract from the Journal of lieutenant L. commanding his Majesty's frigate la Caroline :—,- " On the 21st of May (previous to this date, M. Feretier had dispatched two prizes) being in 9. 15. north lat. and Vt. 20. east long: at clay-light, a strange sail was announced by the watch. Thiee ships, with three masts each, were immediately de scried to windward, steering N. N. E. distant about three leagues to starboard, under a press of sail, which I suffered to approach in succession, with a view to ascertain who they were. About five o'clock in the morning I prepared for action, and manceuvred so as come up to them with all sails set. " At six o'clock, being within musket shot of the sternmost ship, we hoisted the French flag, which was saluted by all my officers and men with three cheers of Viiv P Empereur ! and the action instantly com menced. OUr fire was so well supported, that this ships after maintaining her position above twenty mi. nutes alongside of us, wore, in order to get out of the range of our guns, and to repair her damage. Her fire was at first very brisk, but it slackened towards the conclusion. This ship being much crippled and .ungovernable ; and observing the impossibility of her escaping in that situation, I proceeded to attack the ship immediately abead of het, which carried the Commodore's pendant. I directed the guns on the starboard side to be loaded, with express orders not to fire till we should be within pistol shot. " At ten minutes before seven, we began the attack and kept up an, incessant fire for one hour, during which the two other vessels came up, and discharged several broadsides at our stern larboard quarter. At half past seven, 1 bad the mi , fortune to lose my Master (older de man fruvre), M. Vandercruce, who was a most excellent ()Meer ; his head was stint off by a cannon ball, as he stood by me on the quar ter-deck. The same shot carried off half of my hat s and wounded me slightly in the cheek. " At eight o'clock, our fire having been kept op without intermission, the Commodore's ship struck her colours. I instantly opposed my broadside to the two other ships who were now engaged with me. I directed my fire particularly against the headmost ship, and my two first broadsides were so well directed, that she shamefully took to flight. The second ship, being on the opposite, dischargo two broadsides at us, and run before the wind. We made the same teck with her : passing at a short distance from the ship that had struck, I determined to take possession of her, and for that purpose sent Mons. Rabaudi on board, with orders to take the command of her. On his taking pcmession, he immediately sent the Eng lish Captain and his Officers to me, and hoisting the boat on board, I directed my course to the crippled ship which was to leeward of us, making all possible sail, and still keeping up her colours. 4 4 That ship, seeing that we were bearing down on her, and that we gained on her considerably, hauled her wind and struck her colours. I sent M. Deplar.- ches, Sub-Lieutenant (ensei:ne de vairseau), on board to take the command of hcr. • " I now thought only of shifting the prisoners and their effects. The number of the prisoners amounted to 200 Europeans, who are found divided among the two vessels. The pumps of the Europe could not be kept free by the small number of people that remain ed on board her. I sent Monsieur Bazin, one of the First Lieutenants, with a strong party of my crew, to give all the assistance that might be necessary.. The zeal with which M. Bazin, and the officers commanding, applied themselves to repair the da• mages of the ship, soon put her in a condit i on to make her way to these islands. I likewise sent a strong party on board the Streatham, to repair the damages sustained by her. I Pmploye kl two days in putting both the prizes in a c.vidition to make sail, and upon consideration I resolved to convoy them.— We therefore steered altoe,e±er for the Isles of France and lkinaparte (Bourben.) 'he Streatham being put in a condition to mount her guns, which consisted of thirty-six 18-;-ounders' I put French seamen. on board her, in order that Mr. Rabaudi, who had the command, might be able to second me in the event al falling in with the enemy. " The Europe had originally the same number of guns, but having been obliged to throw a great num ber of them overboard to lighten her, I contented myself with sending on board that ship merely the number of men necessary to navigate her s jand to en sure her safety." On Sunday evening the h, nit, of Mr. Ansell, in Sion-square, %Vhitechapel, was broke into and rob bed of a large quantity of plate and wearing apparel. Saturday night and Sunday night two houses, in Whitecross-street, were broke open, and robbed of a quantity of goods and money. Monday morning early the house of Mary Perry, a milkwornan, in Niouldmaker's.row, St. Martin's le-Grand, was broke open and robbed of all her wear ing apparel and other dins, to the amount of up wards of £25. On Sunday night, as Mr. Graystock, of Oxford street, was retuning to town from Hampstead, he was stopped near Camden Town, by two footpads, with crape over their faces, who robbed him of his watch and money. Friday the Walsall Mail-coach, going to Birminir,- ham, was robbed of a valuable package, intended for the London Market. GUlLMlALL.—Yesterday -- Acres, a watch- i maker, was committed for want of bail, charged with violently and repeatedly assaulting his wife. MATtl.soaorcat-sTREET.—A charge of assault was I yesterday made at this office, by the servants cf Ma-' jor Malcot, againt Captain Howard, arising out of 1 following circumstances : The Major's carriage was standing at his door, in the Edgeware•road, when Captain Howard crossed with his Lady, and not being able to pass, without going into the dirt, he at- ; tempted to put the horses back, but the coachman I kept them at play, and the Captain, sans ceremonie, opened the carriage door, in which were three ladies, , and attempted to pais through. The footman pre , vented him, and the Captain put himself in a boxing attitude, for which the present charge was preferred - . - He was ordered to find bail. Rein, who had obtained goods to a consider able amount, of difft tradesmen, by fraudulent means, was conmaitt4:for ttial, ott three specific charges. .. - • (afire RE OF THE IiL,E OE BOURBON. , . -•-.- -..... . The following are some further interesting particu larsoof the capture of the Isle of Bourbon : `4 , The 20th September, Commodore Rowley, Com manding the squadron craning off the Isle of France, in the Raisonable, 64, accompanied by the Boadicea, Captain Hatley, Sirius, Capt. Pym, and the Nereide, Captain Corbet, with the Otter sloop,Capt. Willough by, came from the cruizing station off the Isle cf France to the Isle of Bourbon, prepared for an attack upon the town of St. Paul, and shipping in the roads, which at that time consisted of the Caroline frigate, of 43 guns and 400 men, with her two prizes, the Streatham and Europe Indiameni manned and arm ed, a small privateer formerly the Grapier gun•brig, and several other small coasting vessels. On board the fleet were Lieutenant-Colonel Keating, of his Ma jesty's Seth regiment, with, about 200 men of that re giment and 170 Bombay sepoys, from the Island of Rodrigues (Lieutenant -Colonel Keating having been sent by the Bombay Government to take possession of that island, which he had done about two months before). " This force, with the marines of the fleet, and about 100 seamen under Captain Willoughby, in all 7.50 men, were landed from the Nereide at 4 A. M. a few miles from the town, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Keating, and pushed forward as fast as possible ; but, from the badness of the road, did not arrive at the town till seven o'clock. The party divided, and attacked the defence of the town, consistimr of five batteries, three of which were fur nished with furnaces for red hot shot. " They experienced some resistance, but by their persevering gallantry were in possession of the whole five before nine o'clock, as also of the town. The guns were turned upon the French ships in the roads, just at the time our ships were entering the bay.. There can be no doubt of what our ships would Min done had there been occasion ; but the French ships seeing themselves attacked on both sides, struck before our ships were in a situation to fire with effect ; so that itery few shot were fired. The French ships defend ed themselves well while their defence could be of any use, and sent a party to assist the troops on shore. Cap:ain Pym, of the Sirius, hoisted a signal for per mission to anchor, which was granted, but before he opened his fire the ships struck. " Every humane attention was sliewn by Commo dore Rowley and Lieutenant-Colonel Keating to the inhabitants, who suffered more from the plunder of their own slaves than from our troops. We had be tween GO and 70 men killed and wounded. " There never was any idea of keeping possession of the island, as the force was not sufficient for that purpose. The sole object was a cort/1 de main, which was planned and executed with ability and vigour. The ships in the roads and the captured cargoes were the inducernent, the former of winch were all taken, and about half the latter brow-lit away, the rest hav ing been burnt. " The Governor of the island carpe down with. a 1 reinforcewnt from Sr. Denis; b ut returned without effecting any thing. Immediately after his return he put an end to his existence, leaving a written paper upon his table, explaining the motives by which he i was induced to adopt a resolution of so shocking a nature. " The widow of the General having expressed a % wish to join her family at the Isle of France, Com i modore Rowley humanely appointed a small vessel, I under a cartel flag, to take her there, with her lam:- 11y, servants, and effects, an act highly gratifying to the French, as well as to the English prisoners, who had been liberated by the capture of the town, and who lusd been treated with the greatest kindness and attention, during a residence of two months on the island. The English, by Articles entered into willi the Commandant of St. Paul, retained quiet posses sion of the town and a certain distance round it for eight days." On Thursday last five prisoners (convicts under sentence of transportation), attempted to escape from I Mullingar gaol, in a manner, perhapi, unprecedented for madness and desperation. They set tire to every thing combustible in their cells, from which they would tertainly have escaped (the doors being very improperly of wood), had not the smoke almost suf- located some of the other prisoners ; the groans from 1 one of whom awakened the gaoler, by whose exer tions, assisted by the City of Cork militia, the pri soners were secured, and a ladder of ropes, provided by their friends outside, was taken possession of.

CHALLENGE. MESS RS. CUR RIE and Co. Suigeons, late in his Majesty's Service, challenge the whole world to prove a single instance where their Medicine and method of cure have failed of .the desired effect. Ihe practice of many years in this particular branch of their profession has not given rise to one unsuccessful ca.e. They continue to direct their studies to the treatment and cure of Venereal Coteplaints, and that derangement of the system, which is the consequence of the pernicious and wasteful effects g a habit long and most unhappily pursued by the youths of !nub sexes: in the one it will be found to be the unfailing source of barrens ness ; the other have its raeages fatally developed to them by a dis tressing state of debility, which, if not t irately remedied, terminates in impotence. These are its remote and ultimate effects, while ecm sumptions,loss of muscular power, and various nervous complaints usually characterise the earlier stages of this stflitaxy vice. Of per sons languishing under the disorders incident to such a habit, dirk treatment is simple and has never proved unsuccessful, in the course of a long, laborious, and much extended practice. In the most obstinate and complicated cases of venereal infection ' suck as obstructions in the urethra, spitrgy exerescerces, hard tw MOMS, callous ulcers, eruptions, seminal weakssess, sleets, as also STRICTURES, Wbetl.er recent or of long dsir , ttion, and which have baffled the skill of other Practitioners ; are by their resent unproved plan of treatment, effectually and permanently cured, without the patient suffering the excruciating pain and alarming hemorrhage which . often foilows the application of the lunar caustic. In the course of 20 year extensive practice in this metropolis, numerous cases Strictures have been and are daily under their are, the tent eradication of which are effected by a safe, certain, and expedi tion* mode of practice, superior to any other yet adopted. The weakness, relaxation, and debility proceeding from this complaint, is speedily removed, and the patient restored to sound and vi. gorous health. But where the debility has for years existed, a proper perseverance in their restorative remedies, after theSuic ture has been destroyed, is indispensably requisite to revistilis slumbering sp arks of life, and to reanimate. the Constitution. Several N oblemen and Gentlemen, of the first respectability, have been tinder the care of Messrs. Currie and Co. for the n. moval of complaints of the Urethra, Strictures, Stc. and, hark received a radical and permanent cure, request that references may be made to them as satisfactory evidences of the decided se periority of Messrs. Currie and Co.'s plan of treatment. Mars of thuse Get:tie:nen have had 'Strictures from ten to twenty years, and had been under the care of Messrs. Home and Heavisite', and other stir l .7vors of equal eminence, who attempted the cure by thr apphu.tion of the lunar caustic, without success. I es.:r , .
