LOSS OF THE MARTIN SLOOP OF WAR. The following is an extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at ICilrnsb, dated Dec. 8, 1817 $ 66 It i e with regret I have to inform you, that the blwarsu sloop of war was last night driven on shaft, in a desperate' gale, in Mull Bay. The ship is to tally lost ; but I am happy to add. that the greater part of the crew, and all the officers, are safe. The misen•mast being cut away, luckily fell with the Mast-head in a rock, which served as a gangway for them. and enabled them tp leilch . !:r shore. Irarne. diately on receiving this intelligence, I'diipatclia carts with refreshments to the crew, who, lam iso formed, are in a most deplorable state." The MARTIK was commanded • by Captain An. ; Daly MITCIOLL. Tbdisday the ship Grace of London, DAVEY Mu ter, with eighty Officers on board, bound to Bt. Thomas's, on the South American Expedition, was seized in Cowes roadstead, by Joins WAnD, Esq. Collector of Customs at that port, for having re ceived on board many of the said Officers in a clan destine manner, contrary to the Passengers' Act ; and also for having no papers on board, to prove the i ship's identity and character. The Grace is reported to be owned by a Mr. FITZORRALD, who some time since was examined before the LORD MAYOR, for engaging to convey passengers out of the kingdom, in a ship called the .Caledonia, the circumstances of which must be in the remembrance of many of our Readers. On the day preceding the seizure of the above yes . sel, Mr. SUTTON, a Taunton. Officer for South Ame rica, was shot In a dad, at West Cowes, by Major LOCKERS, a British asger, about to depart on the same enterprise. An inquest being held on the body, a Verdict of Wilful Murder was given against Major Loorrsa, and Lieutesants Hum and Itivcsih&s, the seconds, all of whom have abscooded. • .

His Excellency also visited Moose Island. Sc. Andrew's. and Fredritten, the steam-boat. and was much pleased with the general appearance of Ibis new Province. Moose Island, it is said, will be immediately given over to America. A loos statement is presented in the Anistricaa Papers, of a transaction in which Captain Faux, of his Majesty's sloop Beaver, was concerned, and in which some difference arose between him and the Magis- i trate. of New Orleans, relative to a deserter from aw l navy, who, having imprudently ventured on board, the. British sloop, Captain Faux , wished to make a prisoner. The affair ended in the liberation of the , seaman ; the British Officer seining his resolution to protest formally against the ens dm of die power of the United States agaiabt lum, , and to leave the Anal Settlement of the business to his Guestalnent. lurk, bEtzAbilt Her bietierrr did not Visit the Pump-room yester day morning. • Yesterday, it two o'clock in the afternoons 'the Freedom of the City Of Batb wai presented to sbe Duke of CLAgetzcz, in a very neat gold box, with the City Arms richly chased on the top.

Duke of CLARINCII replied, that be would accept of this mark of honourable favour, with the greatest consideration of respect towards the Mayor, and the respectable Body, on whose behalf he had undertaken to present this flattering testimony of esteem. For his own part, he felt happy in associat ing with individuals whose respectful attachment to his mother was no less deserving of his esteem than the daily experience of the delicacy of feeling which had characterised the Citizens of Bath. His Royal Highness concluded a very seat and pointed address by thanking the Corporate Body for their attention to hit, illustrious mother and sister, and for the very high honour they had that day conferred on himself. After the. ceremony was concluded, the MAYOR conducted his Royal Highness, the suite, and the Body Cot'porate, into the Council Chamber. in this apartment, a most sumptuous I t icues a la fearclides was provided.
