During their stay at St. Helena, however, an American ship arrived, the master of which reported that three Inchworm had been captured and sent into the Mammas.

The Basilisk gun-brig has arrived at Yarmouth from the Baltic, with dispatehes from Sir Jautia S 4t;IA•IIEZ, and letters from the fleet. The Basi lisk was attacked iu the Baltic by four Danish [imams, with very heavy metal, and fifty meet each, for nearly two hours, in which she suffered in her rigging very materially, every thing being cut away except the braces and ties. A br.rze, however., fortunately sprung up, and she made her e►cape; otherwise she must have struck, as two prawns were placed on the bow, and two ou the quarter. —The Basilisk had stone killed, and only two wounded. If the present Ministers were not the most im provident, and short-sighted, of any men to whom the administration of a great country was ever in trusted in tunes of emergency, they would not have wasted the national blood and treasure, as they have done, at a moment when the fierce and subtle Tyrant, who has nearly subjected the Con tinent, is about to attack us with redoubled means and energies. For if. as is too probable. he ►hould he enabled to dictate terms to Aastria, in couse (pence of our not having midriff that power, by send- Mg a force to her assistance, as we might so easily have done from Portugal, and from Sicily, he will completely nullify and extinguish her future inter-, ference in the concerns oft:l:many. Faattcts the Second, who has already lost the Netherlands and the Tyrol, will now, by being deprived of any coos- I inunication with the Adriatic, cease to retain the faculty of actively co-operating in any futare coin mon etihrts for the liberation of Europe. Indeed, after the recent events which we have witnessed, who, except the must credulous, or besotted, of mankind, can any longer seriously hope or expect the restoration sif that order of things which pre ceded the French Revolution, and the appearance of BONAPARTE on the scene as Consul, or as Em peror? New measures, and new tactics, political, naval, and military, adapted to the new situation, and new relations, of the continental. revolutionary powers, that have sprung up 'Mile 1799, must be adopted by us, if we mean to preserve ourselves from being sucked into, and ingulphed in, the vor tex which bas swallowed up so many states and monarchies. Let us not deceive ourselves, or fandly imagine. that, with two such pilots. as Mr. CANNING and Lord CASTLERC•OH, at the helm, we can survive the wreck of ancient Europe, rind safely behold the floating timbers of Anstria, Prus sia, Rolland, and Spain, from the eminence on which we stand !
