" We have Liken it Portuguese brig, which the Freoch frigate Caroline had taken sod plun dered, and iutended sending to Lisbon.

Thus much I could' wish you to make public, as the families of intim,' of the two vessels' crews are no doubt very iinhappy. d the privateer beinnged to a Mr. Illuet, at Plymouth, and the second Officer belongiug to her was in•the brig we took, with the carpenter and some others; also one of the Charlotte's people. " Sir George Collier took the former with hitn be is named Richard Sandys. The carpenter is one of Dartmouth, and is named Augustus Gill hatn—hasa wife and family there, and is very old he is at present very well with us ; both •vewels, after taking out all they could, were destroyed.— The Antereen ship, London Packet, was.taken au the 2 7 th January laid, by two French frigates, La Penelope and nowise, and are both ou the coast of Africa. Mr.• Wells. an English Merchant, sailed in the above vessel, January lath, from England, and was sent iii aa Antere an schooner to yo, arrived at Porto Praya, February 17th, awl came on board with the news. U'e are, thank God, here in want of nothing the good people in England have seat us Rimini ance of bullocks and potatoes--half a bullnek, and See thousand weight of potatoes, have fallen to oar share. " The Fretieh . General Jtinot has sent off, or rather remitted to come off, a worthy Gentleman, well known to some of us, to try to reconnoitre. . He only came to leok about hies, and has been -sent away with a flea in his ear. The General of fered to drive down bullocks to the - shore for us to take off, but this sane person was fortunately ou board as the transpnrts arnved, lull sits surprised to see the half-deck hying rotund a ith fresh beef, and bullocks going to all the ships. They imagined in Lisbon we were all sick and starving; after this Gentleman had dined with the .Idiniral, he desired bin to give his comp/intents to the I' week General, and to N I to him, when he return* all the provi sion:, Ste. he has taken from the Portuguese, there will be is emit then aiinsaget thesis. " The atm-noble reason was to request the Admi ral winild permit several vessels with flour, from Cadiz, to enter the Miens, racing the Portuguese were starviug. I met this pereei going off, and, as I knew him well, he told me his mission. I told him it was nun-ense to attempt such a thing, aryl that I considered it as an insult ; for as he had the French General's paeyort, it must be with his cretwut and knowledge. This persou was Mr. Setard, our lett Contractor: he is now the French . and Commissary.

LON DON , srrCUDAY. APRIL 'U. e . • The accounts brought home by Advuirstl Duce worm's squadron, of the hostile spirit of Übe A Jae riea,,s, have, iu a considerable degree, damped the hopes of reconciliatiou, which prei•imis re r mtr bud tousled ro encourage. The last lent v . % apd pa per* from America *ere (lured the2tith of Febrnery, at which time Mr. Rose had been admitted to ie.- feral conferences team' the subject of his mission, and het we find, that so late as the 17th of the date of Admire! Dt b: Wearies 'departure from the Clserapeake t the Proclamation, interdicting tbe entrance Of ell British ships of ear into the waters of the United Stites, and prohibiting ell intercourse between them and the shwa:, was rigidly enforced ; oar •verrels, during the eight days they lay 'in the river, not having been uhle to procure a particle of fre s h water or provisions.—Thu attack upon the Chesapeake 11-agate, by the Leopard. was 'the muse of this measure, end the Minis tbrial- Prints. express their surprise at its cont Mu ince, conceiving that the explanations which we bad offered upon that subject ought to have been deemed perfectly satisfactta7. The conduct of our Government is very ..ivatlequittely described by the term ‘' explanatieats." Our high-soirited Mibisters, whose toile awl temper tawardaAinerica at one time might have subjected them to the suspicion of courting a war with that country, did uut coutiae them elves to explanations. They `area much more cuntleec'nding, and they deserve credit for their complaisance.. They offered not merely explanations, butt emple reparation for tile, offence, by the recall of Admiral Bia ettv. and the renunciation of all claim to search ships of war. The first step which Mr. Rose would pro bably take, would he to demand, in consequence of this offer, a subvention of the Prochuneioal; but if such a request was made, it is now evident that it wee not attended with success,. It does not follow, however, that the apolory s as refused ou the ground of insufficieuey. The refusal most probably has arisen from the determination of the Americus Government is abide by the demands whirls they have made, of bringing the whole of their cola. plaints forward together, and not to make the affair of the Chesapeake • spotter of separate discurriou. Besides, it was Itntlersthed, when the last stemmata rays away, that no relaxation of the measurer which the American Goserument had adopted was to take place till an answer bad been received to , the rfopatFbes transmitted to Europe by-the Osage. It 'seems, therefore, to be toe much to infer, that betweenihe two countries war iuevitable, h r .. rose oar squadron had not been furnished with thestupplies of water and provisions, of which they eliwid in nee& It is rather strattge the Osage is sot arrived with the American Slessengee,illr. cl ot an.
