If word* of mine could eahance the merit of this brave, worthy, au ) l excellent Officer, Captain Mardi', 1 could do it with the utmost heartfelt grebfication, and the high esteem I have for him us an Officer and a friend, no language can sufficiently express. The 'Russian Admiral having sent a frirac to tow the disabled ship, hauled his wind, and the Implacable being ready to make sail, I imme diately gave chase, and soots obliged the frigate to cast off her tow, when the Itussian Admiral was again under the necessity to support her by several of his line-uf-buttle ships hearing 4141V.11, Will I mid every prospect of this bringing on a general action, to avoid which he availed himself of a favourable staid of wind, and entered the port of Rogers wick. The line-of-battle ship engaged by the Im placable having fallen to leeward, grounded un a shoal just at the entrance of the port; there being then some swell, I had a hope she most have been destroyed, but the wind moderating towards the evening, she appaired to eldest her auchor, exer . bone were made to repair her da nage. At sun-set, finding the swell abated, rind boats sent from the R1111111:111 Get to tow her into port, I directed Cap tain Webley to stand in and endeavour to cut her off; this was executed in a maiiner that must ever reflect the highest honour of Captain Webley, the officers and ship's company of the Centaur, fur their valour and perscverisnce in the support of my orders,. The boats had made a considerable progress, and the enemy's ship was just entering the port, when we bad the good fortuspe to lay her ;• her bowsprit taking the Centaais fore rigging, she swept along with her bow grazing the muzzles of our guns, which was die only blind for their discharge, and the enemy's boWs were drove in by this raking fire ; when the bowsprit came to the inizen-riggiug, I ordered it to be lash- ed ; this was•performed in a Most steady manner by the exert:l4s, of Cuptaiu Webley, Lieutenant Law less, Mr. Strode the master, and other brave men, under a vei-y heavy tire fronithe,enemy's musketry, by which, I sin sorry to add, Lieutenant Lawless I starerelyemihded. The ship beim ie six fathoms water, I lied -a hope I should havelwen able to have towed her out in that position, but an anchor had been let go from her unknown to its, which made it impossible to effect it; at this period much valour was displayed on both sides. and several at tempts made to board by her bowsprit, but nothing could withstand the cool and determined fire of the marines, under Captain Bayley and the other officers as well as the fire from our stern-chase guns, :hat in less than half an hour she was obliied to surrender. On this OCCII.iOII I again received the greatest aid from Captain Martin, who anchored his ship in a position to heave the Centaur off, after she and the prise had grounded. which was fortu nately effected at the moment two of the enemy's ships were seen under sail standing towards us, but retreated as they saw the ships extricated flow this difficulty. The prize proved to be the Sewolod, of seventy foar guns, Captain Boothia; she had so much water in her, and being fast on shore, after taking oat the prisoners anal wounded men, I aas obliged to give orders for her being burnt, which service , was completely effected under the direction of' Lieutenant Biildulph, of this ship, by seven o'clock in the inorilin, I cannot spesilefoo highly of the brave and gal lant conduct of Captain Webley, and every officer and mon tinder his command ; and I beg leave to recommend to you, for the notice of the Lords Commission*, of this Admiralty, Lieutenant Law less, fur his exertions end gallant conduct, and who hes severely soffbred on this occasion ; and I also must beg leave to recommend Lieutenant William Case, the senior officer of this *hie.

I discovered $ brig in -shore, running . to the eastward, and imms. diutely made ill sail in chase of her ; at half-peat four, came within gun-shot, and hoisted our co lours, which she answered by hoisting Daniels colours, and opening her fire on the starboard aid*. At this time it became nearly calm from a flesh breeze we had at W.S.W. end obliged tie to get one sweeps out, in order to get betirimn her mid the shore. At five, got within musket-shot of the ene my, and commenced action ; halving now most of one siei-epe ,shot away and great part of the rigging; 20 minuses past five we discovered several eon boats CC/Ming towards mi, which had been concealed behind the rocks, and it being a perfect cabin, they hod every udvimtage they could' wish in platiog them. They took their position on each quarter, raking us every shot, whilst the brig had the same advantage on the larboard bow ; at half-past siv, live of our earronsiirs were dismounted nn the larboard side, (the only bide we cello{ bring to bear on the enemy ' ) and several of the o:B..era and crew killed and wouarkel.

THE BRITISH PRE LONDON, WEDNESDAY, Sirnaissa The Gazette of last night, given in our preced ing columns, cont.tias an account of the late gal- lant action is the Baltic, and also of the capture of the Seagull, by the Danes. We are concerned to final, there are no hopes that the Rusaisii Bret can be attacked with a prospect of success, in its place of refuge in Port Baltic. If the deep impression made upon every British mind, by the ignominious and shameful Conven tion of Sir Hew Datayszti.s in Portugal—for, to him ouly, as Commander-in-Chief, it beiongs, if not exclusively, yet personally—if that most humi liating treaty would admit us to think deeply, at this moment, on other subject., the uspect of Ere rope might well arrest our attention. It is impos sible not to perceive that the Continent is about either to sink into complete subjugation under Bo- NAPAIITZ'S iron yoke, or to receive a partial, per haps a complete emancipation, from the tyranny of this Usurper. We can no longer deceive ourselves as to his intentions, or nourish the slenderest expect ation that he will, from motives of pradence, re. cede from hisasrigitsal systematic project of seizing upon the Spanish Monarchy as his prey. Neither the abhorrence expressed towards him and his brother, by the whole people, nor the repeated de. feats that he has experienced, nor the impediments. physical, military, and moral, which he foresees in the prosecutiou of his flagitious purpose, can duce him to abolition it. The letters, official messages, and declarations, recently published by him, completely unveil his resolution to redece Spain to the condition of Holland, IVestphaliii, and Naples. But us this able; artful, and pro found Tyrant, never omits to blend cunning with force, and always a; peals to Heaven while em ployed in exterminating, plundering, or enslaving mankind, so has he done on the present occa sion. Conscious that the conscript slaves, whom .he denominates his people, though habituated to unlimited obedience, yet retain, even in their degradation, the faculty of reason, he lms et erted all his sophistry to persuade them, that the iuterests of France demand the political subjec tion of Spain to his empire. In order to succeed in this difficult attempt, the Minister for Foreign Af fairs appeals to the history of, the two countries; and tries to chew, that, of all the European states, France has suffered in past ages, and may ngitia sustain, from the hostility of Spain, far greeter evils then can be inflicted on her from any other quarter. This important truth Ise endeavours to convert to the personal purposes and family inte rests of the Usurper, who occupies the FrAiLh throne. "As the two countries," he, " while governed by branches of the same fa mily, remained for wore than a century omitted by the closest ties ; we must, at whatever price, or by whatever sacrifices and exertions, restore that order of things.
