` I r • Purl IS frome, First Lieutenant of the Grey ilound, a deserving good officer; who proved that ' dil ate courage was to be assisted by experience, and r reaped the benefit of that which he had acquired Copenhagen, by the advice and assistance whidlt pve me. The fire from the main decks, and the co nsequences of it, is the best encomium On Lieute- Aan ts Atidoe and Whitehead ; but I beg leave to a dd, that their conduct haS been as good and -exeM pla,-,y on every other occasion. I have had cause to s Peak of Mr. Martin in the body of this letter, I can . °III Y add that he is a credit- to the profession to Ivi l i ch he belongs. The - behaviour of the Warrant s and Midshipmen was highly becoming: from i,''neg the latter, I beg leave to recommend Messrs. arr is, Bray, Grace - and Majoribanks, as young O ~cers deserving of promotion. The coolness, bra Very, and good condu& of the pett y officers and ship's company was such as would make it tedious,• difficult,: and perhaps invidious, to att empt to particularise their individual merits; they h ave long ; by their excellent behaviour, had a claim ou . my gratitude, and they now have one on my ad tendon ; suffice it then to say, that an enthusiastic co urage reigned throughout the ship ; such as,l fans eY belongs to Britons alone. Captain Troubridge speaks in the highest terms of. i ', l e Harrier ; he has retpiested, me to make known T e great assistance he received from Mr. Mitchell,. 4e First Lieutenant, and the very exemplary cop sfi of Acing Lieutenant C. Hole, and Ilri R. wualst, the Master. In expressing his approbation I)f. t he condna of the Warrant and Petty Officers, -he inentions MesSrs. Coffin antrMitford, Midshipmen, es pecially ; and I take - the - liberty of. - adding, that both of them have served their time. PorAl other particulars, I beg leave to. refer you to the inclosed reports, from the perusal of which y o u Will perceive how much his Majesty's ships ~3 7 e suffered in their masts and rigging; .but you lo ss participate in the joy which I feel,' that out: , 40 ss has been trifling when compared with that of the enemy.

The Captain and crew were murdered, and thrown overboard ; the Ship destroyed, and specie on hoard her, said to _amount to 200,900 dollars, taken by the Arabs.

'Saturday Captain RoDwELL,Of the Ship Barnes, as rived in town from Dant zic, «itb intelligence from thence to the t 9th ult..at which period no- ac counts had reached that city of any attion between the hoStile armies, subsequent to the affair in the neighbourhood . of Gutstadt ; in which. the French, notwithstanding their assertions. to the contrary, were repulsed with Joss. Some corps of French troops had appeared before Dantzic-early in March ; but on th e loth o f that month smart aiiair took place, . near the Village of Rosenburgh, in which the French lost 130 men Prisoners ; Is Germans, and some Poles were like ;`wise, taken, and about 100 were killed. • On the 14th a placard was placed on the Govern-. Mellt-hOUSe:, announcing, that on the I 2t.Tt the Prus . sian troops engaged and defeated a corps of Ma:- NADOTTL'S division, at Zintern, t a ki ng some. 'sutlers, a cannon, and a standard ; the Prussians re mained in possession of the town, and also -occupied Creutzburgh and Eylau. Reinforcements were daily flocking to. th e . Rus sian Army ; the • head-quarters were, on the 14th, at' Scheppenpeel, at the inflation of the Guber and Alle. The left wing occupied the strong country along the Seeburgh Lake, the right' ex, tended beyond Landsburgh ; the Cossacks were posted ca theydssarge and Walsha. .The position which General BENNIGSEN had taken was particu lady strung, and it was supposed he would await there the expected reintbrcements.--The Russian light troops in the interior greatly annoyed and harassed the French army. A ler!' from Berlin; dated March i 6, says, "That all the - French troops which were stationed ip this city and at Potsdam, have been ordered to repair by forced marches to the Army. The regiment of Hohenzollern, and about two hundred grenadiers of the Imperial Horse Guards, are the only troops here. The Garrisons of IVlngdeburgh, Custrin, have taken the same route, and are to be replaced' by the Dutch or German Contingents."

No, no, Master SHERRY, though pleasant thy wit, For once it has tail'd the true matter to hit ; Fortiten who thus wantonly built up a Wall Have convinc'd the whole World they had no brains at all. THE OPERA.—CATALANI, with Unimpaired at trae`tion, exerted her great powers on Saturday last, at the King's Theatre, in the serious Opera of 11 Ri iorno di Serse. Her performance was indeed won derful, and her talents are now better understood than during her earlier efforts in this Country. To her credit it should be observed, that success has not induced her to relax- in zeal to please the audience, but that she is as modest, as respea ful,,and as strenuous to deserve the applause she re ceives as if she had still a name to acquire in the musical world. . The House was crowded with all the higher order, ,and theWhOle of the entertain ments were received 'with great applause. A new grand Ballet is in preparation at the Opera House, 'entitled La Siege :de Troy, iti whicb:l\l3- demois'elNion, from the Theatre at Lisbon, is to Make her . first appearance in this cOntary. Mott ELIA is very properly restored to his former situation in the Opt-ra Howie, as he is a Performer of great humour, and much ability. KEMDIA is much better, but is still in such a state of itidispa•;ition as will prevent him for some time from resuming all professional exertions. Th e . Dcemort with all its terrific splendors and pathetic etieds,' had a very large audience on Saturday evening, and is now so fully confirmed in ,public opinion, that it is likely to make thousands of e'm bodied spirits haunt the Theatre every night. Lieut, General HuwEvr, with his Staff, will pro ceed -to India without delay, as Commander in Chief, together with Brigadier-General COCKELL, Major f..vsmt;', &c. About two hundred German recruits are to - go out to the fourth battalion companies at the Cape. A tbrnmandet in Chief for Madras will likewise be' sent out , by the Fleet about- to sail ; and Sir DAvfn 'BAIRD, who is daily expeded borne, will, it is said, receive the appointaient, provided he ar rives-inqime, EXTRAORDII , ..;ARY . 711A.1L ROBBERY.— On Friday night as the Mail-coaches. which run the . western road were ahonete set off fronaiccadilly, and, when th'e Bristol Mail was about to start, without atly sine pamengers, two men genteelly dressed called to . the coachman and guard to know if they had any" room ; and, being answered in the alkirmat ive, they,. said they .wantetr a cast .to Maidenhead.; the.guard immediately let them in. They got Out at the Sarae . con's Head Inn, in Maidenhead, where the mail horses are watered, and in a few minutes after the mail drOve off. Ott going up the hill,. the other side of Maidtlnhead, the two men who had 'just got out became the subjea of conversation between the ff guard and coachman, on „account of the guard • ob serving, that he did pot see either of their faces in get - ring in or out of the coach, and that they appear ed designedly to conceal themselves; this induced the coachman to suggest the.propriety of examining the mail, to see that all the property Was right, which was agreed to by the guard. They found all the bags right and t he,parcels in the boot, but on. examining t he seats inside. the coach, they tbund several .pareels missing, which they supposed to.be of considerable value. — The guard, in consequence, took one of the leading herses, and rode hack 'to the -Saracen's Head Inn, where e they left the two men. As soon as he hadgot to the house, he called out for George, meaning the landlord, in grezt'haste The two men were then just abOut sitting down to sniper, but hearing the horse, one of them went, out to see what was (lie matter, and observing the guard, called to his com panion by the -name of James. He came out, and they both ran off; the guard and landlord pitrSUed them, and called out, " stop thief," when a Watch man in the town took the alarm, and turned one of them in his course up a court, which the Landlord knew was not a thoroughfare ; they, therefore, pur sued him o and found brim concealed in a 'corner, ly ing flat on di% ground, with Bank Notes, to the amount of 901.' loose, near him, on the mud, sup posed to have been the contents of the parcel taken from. the mail, and two parcels unopened. The other villain made his escape. • PleorregvesT.—Saturday a W arrant om cer of one of his Majesty's ships lately arrived at Portsmouth, from a foreign Station., appeared at the Police Office in the Borough, charging a Ifindsinan with towing away his w if e . I t appeared that the son of Nep fune, on his return twine, was raptiwously•received by his seemingly loving wife, and lie liberally en countered her kindness, pouring into her lap the pro duce o(his toils His, happiness, hoWever, was but of short duration, for, during a temporary visit .to his ship, his frail helpmate packed tip all, his little treasure, mid eloped with the person who was the subje& of his charge.—The Magistrates being, of opinion that the case was fitter for discussion in the. Court of ,King's Bench e or Do4ors' Commons, than before a Bench of Magistrates, advised the injured husband' to apply to any one of those tribunals for, redress, and dismissed his complaint.• Yesterday morning.a young man, named Whit lock, undertook, for a wager of ten guineas, to go on foot from Shoreditch Church to Ponder's End, and back again, in two hours, the wholedistance of ground being seventeen miles. He started at half past five o'clock, reached Ponder's End at twenty . ' minutes after six, stopped there ten minutes to re flesh, and arrived at the starting post at twenty minutes . after seven o'clock;--won his wager,by ten minutes. , Many. of our running matches, though frequently at the risk of life by bursting a blood-vessel, &c. are for inconsiderable 313111 s of gain,--it is submitted whe ther a far more safe and rational system of personal expedition will - not be to hasten to the Lottery Oiiices, before the 14th instant, to become Candi dates, at the risk of losing but a small stake of ad venture, ;Or such immense •Prizes as in number and consequence stamp the present State LotteryScbetne with unprecedented distinOion ?

The man whose coat he had hOld ofmade his escape. Nothing was found upon the Prisoner that was suspetied to be stolen; nor did the Gentleman who was hustled - at-. ,tend. A Gentle Man had his pocket picked in the pit of DrUry=lane Theatre, on the above night;. but ,there was no ground for , suspecting the Prisonerto be the. rohber. The fellow was dressed in the first style offaThion. On his being called upon; by Mr. GRAHAM, to give an account of -himself, his tale was, " that he was in the carpentering fine with his mother; in East Harding-street ;" but be was too well known in the Office for this to have any .avail, and GRAHAM • said, he. had a great mind to commit him under the Police ; however, dischirged him on his promising to' reform, , and not to be found tin der similar-circumstances. As the fellow 'was leav— ing the office he laughed, and bad quee, ed tit leek ; and acknowledged that, he• had de - served to be lagged , (transported) tbr bei:gsuch a fool as to be found near the play-hous . e. A hackney coachman appeared' to answer a sum- mons of Mr. Herriot, of Hendon.. Mr. H. stated, that on Thursday he hired the Prisoner to take his wife and children•from the Strand to Hc-hdon. Af ter they had got into his , coaeh, he told him to go to Hendon. Thy Prisoner ,peremptorily refused to go unless he was paid double, fare, and alledged as a reason the badness of the weather, and that his horses,were very young, and they would not be able to get up the Will. The Prisoner acknowledged the statement to be correa. ' • Mr. GRAHAM very properly reprobated the coach man's cOnclu&in the strongest terms, in deman(lng double "fare. As to the badness of the weather, he asked, dicteoachman suppose that . the public were only to have the use of their coaches in sunshine weather. And O to. the horses bein g yo ung , he (e -sired that the Prisoner and coachmen' should under ! ' Stand 'that they: were bound to have horses and coaches that should perfeolly answer.-.the couveni ence of the•public, and that their ease as.to the,wea ther or improper horses, would never be admitted as q excuse, he therefore - finedshim 20s.
