In making this communication to you, it is fit that we should request of yon to express our Lope to the Minister of Marine, that the same motives which a2luate us will induce the French Govern ment to send immediately to this country all such of the British prisoners in their possession, as are, from either of the causes above mentioned, become unfit for any alive service, and consequently cannot add the force of this country. Among the prisoners of this description, we beg to recommend to your notice, Lieutenant William Dalyell, who was made prisoner on the 4th of January last, and who ap p,ars, by a certificate from the Surgeon who at tends him, of -which the enclosed is a copy, to be so much disabled by the wounds which he received at the time of his capture, as to require the utmost care a.rd attention of his family. We have only to add, that if the French Government will release this young officer, we will immediately release any French prisoner of equal rank whom you may point out to us, in exchange for him.

On the 9th of March last, anchored in the hay. boar of Bombay, the American ship Prnman, prize to His Majesty's ship Phaeton. A circumstance recently occurred in Japan, which will probably prove prejudicial to the interest of the Dutch, in that kingdom. A Batavian ship arrived there, refused to submit to the customary regula tions of the country, of taking away her sails, guns, and rudder, during her stay; and an armed boat was sent from the shore to enforce obedience : on its approach, however, the Captain fired into it e and wounded several of the people. The foams on shore were immediately seized, and would have been put to death, had not the Captain surrendered himself and ship to the daposal of the King. The result of this transa6on is not known ; hut, it is snpposcd, that the Dutch will either be subjeet to further rigour, or he deprived of the exclusive trade which they at pres.mt enjoy. PRISONERS OP wirß. The following Correspondence has taken place between this Country and France, upon the sub:Jilt of Prisoners of War :—With the humanity that cha- TA/krises this country, we have (though the French Government will not consent to any cartel) sent back to France the French prisoners, whom age, wounds, or infirmities, rendered incapable of laive service. We desired, that a similar measure should be adopted by the French Government, and that in particular, a severely wounded British Officer should be permitted to return home. What was the reply of Bonaparte, through the medium of his I PINT SATURDAY, Novinaita 23. A boat arrived on Thursday morning, at Dover, from off Boulogne. At the time she left Sir Sin.. ?rev SVITI4% squadron, no attack had been made upon the French flotilla. The latter remained in the same situation in which it was on Wednesday, under the protodhea of the batteries on shore, and with the heavy ships, in a semi -circle, on the outsile. The wind had got round to the eastward, and the Britios squadron was in a position which indicated an intention to break the enemy's line. Nothing material had taken place up to three o'clock, p. m. on Thursday. except a casual rencounter between a French guard-boat and an English vessel, webelieve, one of the double-boats constroded under the imme diate direftion of Sir SIDNEY SMITH. We are con cerned to state, that the Frenchman fired into our boat, and killed five of our crew. We have already stated, that the Expedition had lost much of the importance which common fame had attached to it. Instead of an expedition which was to land a body of tmops competent to storm Boulogne, we now tee it cut down to an attempt entirely by sea. We have bad always a eraisiog squadron off Boulogne. Sir SIDNCT Sutra's armament may be considered as only a strong reinforcement of it. He may bom bard the French flotilla, and employ against it those new devices of exploding arrows and inflammable matter, but he has no means with whie,h to attempt a reap de win% or, we should presume, to force his .-eny into the liartour of Boulogne. While On while txtent of the expedition is tbus unfolded, and Cite TICRIIS of Sir SIDNEY Sl4ll - 11 lire Precisely ogee_ twined to a gun ; one of our contemporatie., 4 orange degree of obstinacy or folly, still enntitoles to hold it forth as an expedition of the bigh t ,. ; importance. While it was in preparation, it would have ill become Government to under. rate it. The more consequmce was attached to it, the mote effoatial it must prove, t o f u as it had for its object to create a diversion, Rut now, when it is completely iteveloped, and found to 62 up a scale far below public expeile. Lion, to magi ify its importance, can only serve the pitiful purpose of exciting as interest in aid of g dull sale, or to lay a foundation for imputing blinke and disappointment to the Spirited and entelptisiag Admiral, who commands the expedition. The fast ssiling armed ship, Georrn.r Captain RITCHIE, arrived late on Saturday even; at Greenock, from Trinidad, after a passage of 47 days, and landed a mail, and dispatches for Govern. ment from Admiral OICH't AKE, who arrived at Trinidad a few days helo e Captain Iturcitte sailed, with the Northumbtilend, 74, fica, 4 1;,.., an d libation frigates, Express brig, and two schnonee s , and appointed a convoy to sail on the Bth Oflober. Captain Ibl - cilia brings an aecou-.t of a very gallant anion in the West-Indies, fought by His Mainz schco:xr , of 12 guns, and 45 men, commanded by Lien:. JOHN cAMPUELL, which, on her return from Tortola, whither she had escorted a detachmert of ships from the other islands, to join the due convoy, fell in with the famous French -private4 Grand Decide, ship, of 30 guns, and t 7.50 men. The henchman, confident of making this little bark his prize, ran her alongside, but met with such an unezpeded and warm reception, that he was obliged soon to haul off to repair his darmcge4. He began the attack a second time, v ith no I,r;- ter success, as the gallant little crew of the Mozam. rime fought with redoubled courage, and so tore up the privateer, that she was obliged, finally, to sheer off. Our little bark, however, pursued the flying Frenchman, with a determination to take him, by boarding, which the height of the bruins pre vented. As an adieu, however, they gave the pri. vateer a complete mauling. Lieutenant Ca m rut is received gust praise for his intrepid conduct ; and the Admiral, it is said, was immediately to pro mote him. The Go-...ergtor Paths left Trini lad n• the let ult. tinder convoy of His Vlajes:) 'a schooner Pre .4,!. The island was quite healthy. Serious fears arc entertained that the Biter gun brig has been lost on the French toast ; several u tides, with the name of that vessel on them, having been picked up by our cruisers. It is hoped, that the crew may have reached the French shore, and are now prisoners. His Majesty's ship, Lapiegle. Capt. MJtial', ar rived in the Bay of Dublin, on Satin-sky se'nnight, from Cork, to take the vessels now loading for Lon don and the Channel, to the Downs, and was to sail on the 19th. The Isabella, Capt. SM ITU, is arrived at Newry. in thirty dap, from New York ; we are happy to state, that the Yellow Fever had entirely subsided before Captain Bartle sailed. He bas brought over clean bills of health ; the Board of Health having declared, the ci:y was convalescent. We lately stated, that t' a eel ed tion under fir Ds vio BAIRD, is rubbly destined, in the first ill stance, against the Cape rf Good Hope.
