THIS Contest still lingers on, though from the small number polled yesterday by Sir , FRANCIS BURDETT, after. all the boasted exertions made in his behalf, it evidently appears he has no chance of success. After all those boasted exertions, the number polled yesterday by Sir FRANC IS amounted only to 1c.7, This number gave him a majority of seven on yesterPy's Poll over Mr. MAI NWAR Which is, however, of trifling consequence, as there can be little doubt of the success •of the latter, though the exertions of Mr. MAINW AR ING'S . 'friends are still necessary to give him that decided Superidrity on the Poll which he ought to possess.

Copy of a Letter from Captain Sir Home Popham, to Sir Evan Nepean, Bart. dated at CaZtutta, the 18th of November, 1801. SIR, I have much pleasure in transmitting you a Copy of Captain Collier's Letter of the zoth September, for the information of my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, giving a very detailed account of his sinking the French National Ship, La Fleche, of twenty-two guns, and 170_men. • The resuliof Capt. Coilier's unremitting perse, verance under every trying circumstance, and his determined condut in warping the Victor ; into Mahe HarboUr, is likely to be of very material service to the Commerce of India, as La Fleche was unquestionably intended to cruise. in the Bay of Bengal. I have the Honour to be, &c. &c. &c. HOME POPHAM. His Majrst_y's - Sloop SIR, Mahe Roads, Sept. 19, tgai. The state of the crew of His Majesty's Sloop under my command, after leaving 'the Ikea Sea, in duced me to put into the Island, Diego Garcia ; and after procuring a large •supply of turtle and good water, I left that Harbour on the '27th of August, and proceeded on the exectition of the particular service pointed out in your orders of the 22d July ; and on the zd instant, in sightolthese Islands, Majesty's Sloop fell in with a French National, Corvette, and after a few inefFeaUal manceuvres on her part, from the superior sailing of the 'Vidor, when going large, I had the pleasure of bringing her to a close_ Adion at three quarters past five P.M. ; the disguised state of the - Victor did not long deceive. the Enemy, the second broad Side prov- , ed sufficient, the Corvette • hauling her wind and endeavouring to ecape, which, in about twenty minutes, I was sorry to observe, by having almost solely direeted her fire at our masts and sails, she had a lair prove& of effecting, for,- on her tacking under our lee, I endeavoured,towear, with the boye of 'hoarding on her how; when I had the mortifica. (ion to find both lower: and topsail braces sh. , t away on the starboard side, welt as preventer ones and bowlines, and before whets conid be rove the Cur_ vette was • half a mile to,wirdw:)rii night fast ap_ proaching added to the 1 felt on observing the Corvette sail better than the, Vidor . on a,mind ; the chace continued all night, frequently within gun shot, And at sun-set the follo , viog *day, front lhC wind having favoured the Enemy, she was four or, five miles to windward ; in the night of the 4th lost sight of the (Juice, when, probably by tacking, she escaped, In this affair I had one min wounded .'with . two musket-balls, and Mr. Midilet,,m, Masteos , Mate, slightly ; the duinige sustained in the hull trifling, the foremigt shut through,' and I have to regret our sail 3 and giggin g much cut. Judging from the course the Corvette was steer ing, when first seen, she must be bound to these lands, I pushed for th, - -tn, and towards sun-set of the sth,' 'she was again seen running in for, 'this anehorager; I kept .under: easy sail till dark, when the VicOr was 'anchored ; at 'day-light I had the satisfaction of seeing the Corvette moored with springs in the Bason or - Inner Harbour with a red fi.l g it the fore (which as 1 since learn was in de-, fi ance ) ; being unacquainted with the Channel, and, hiving no Pilot, far. -Crawford, the -M as ter,' , (though lough ill of fever) arid M.

The extreme 'narrowness of the Channel, added .to the wind nut being very favourable, convened me rouse warps and the stay-sails (Lily, which ex. posed the ship to a raki-g fire' for some minutes, `till, shoaling our water, I was obliged to bring up. Havipg two springs on the cable our broadside was soon brought to bear ; and at three quarters past eleven A. a well-directed . fire was opened, , which was kept up incessantly from bOth Vessels till twenty" minutes - Two," 'wile - El I plainly perceived the enemy was going . down in'a few thinutes•her cable was cut, she cast round, and her bow grounded on a Coral' Reef. Mr. M'Lean, the First Lieutenant, with a party of Officers and Men, Were sent to board ; though scarce had they put off, ere we discovered the Enemy to be on fire; Lieutenant Smith and other Officers were then sent:with proper assistance, but just as they had succeeded in extinguishing the fire, she fell on her larboard bilge into deeper water and sunk. She proves to have been the French National Corvette La Fleck, mounting twenty long French eight-pounders, answering to English nines, with two stern chasers, though it appeared all her guns ivere not mounted in the first 'attion : was larger than the Vidor in dimensions, perfectly new, a re markable fast sailer, and not four month~ from France, commanded by Captain Bonatny, Lieutenant De Vaisseau, with four Lieutenants, and a comple ment of one hundred and forty:five Men, some of whom had been left sick at &trrbon. From a number of dead and dying men reported to be found on her forecastle, as well as two along side, I am induced to believe the carnage was great, though only four are acknowledged by the French Captain. She had twenty Men to assist at her guns, firming a part of the Crew of the French Frigate La Chif. forme, captured here a few days since by His Ma jesty's Ship La Sybille, Captain Adam. The obstinate resistance made by La Fleche w as on the supposition of the Vi6tor being a Privateer. From the length of time elapsed ere this business was brought to a close, I have felt it necessary to be thus 'particular in my detail, and I trust for your excuse should I dwell longer, as I feel I should do an injustice to every, Officer and Man on board, did I negled paying a just tribute to the cool and tertnined bravery they evinced ; even men labouring under a lingering fever . (of which I had unfortunately 3o), felt a proportionate zeal. 1 beg leave to recommend to yllf" - notice Lieu' tenant IVPLean, as well as to 'solicit y our interest for the confirmation of my Second, Mr. Smith; a 9 also Mr. Hyde, Gunner, observing, tbat whenever, Mr, Middlet o n or M r . G raves (b ot h h av i ng pa ssed for Lieutenants) shall obtain the rank; they will do equal credit to your patronage.

GARNERIN was retained by the Proprietors of Vauxhall GArAens k) let off a Nighk B_tlloon; and the weather was as friendly on this occasion as it had been unfavourable when 1.10 former experiment's were attempted. There was scarcely a breath of wind; and, though it was . 0' tremely dark, the atmosphere was uncommonly c leat. Vauxhall Gardens were crowded at an early boor' —w e have very seldom indeed witnessed so much beauty and fashion at this advanced period' of the Season. What they had formerly seen, appeared only to have whetted their Curiosity --and ad well on the tiptoe of expectation. The Conce rt ,corP eluded about eleven, and the Company ianne• diately flocked to the Eastern Walk. Ott • the stage: at its extremity, the Balloon was' visible. It lookc''• exactly like an Immense Windsor pear. In a fe" r e minutes it was a ll owe d to r i se to about the hei g ht o.b thirty yards. The various fire.wotks attached to it could now be discovered distinctly. Every thi4 'being featly, the fuse was_lighted, and the Bailooo ascended with the most wonderful velocity, At 61 - 0 it took rather a northerly direction, and seeni , : 3 even to have crossed the Rivet, but it immediate!, after returned to the South, and hovered exa4lii above the Gardens. It had now risen to vach immense height that scarcely a glimmering o r lie' could be perceived, and every body was afraid les C the fuse was extinguished, and the Balloon w itholi!, taking fire wot4d fly cif into the distant regions 01 space. But in the midst of this a n x i ety the .rel. works in.a moment began to go off, and a sight sca' exhibited which it is impossible for the itvelie s . imagination to conceive. Wheels, rockets, RAW b6r6s, &c. succeeded each other, till L. fire at ti - st reached' the Balloon itself, . w h en a g rid* explosion took place, 'and the whole. horizon was in a blaze. The crowd ,of spei.clators without the walls immense. The highways and lanes in the neigh's hourhoiid were filled; from side to side, and W 6" minster Bridge for _half au hour was almost cam iletey impassable.
