On Thursday evening Michael Dwyer, Martin, Burke, Arthur Develin, Hugh Byrne, and' John Mernagh, were conveyed from Kihnainham Prison, by the Circular-road, in carriages, and put on board an Armed Cutter in the River, which is to carry them to Cove, where a Transport destined for Bo tany Bay is waiting to receive them. An Anierican Gentleinan who was at 'Martinique when the Combined Fleebearrived there, states, that it was not the obje& of the Expedition to capture any of the British Settlements,, but that 130NAPARTE 4 plan was, to send several fleets,to sea, with orders to threaten our Foreign Possessions, and then to return home as speedily as poSSible. By this manoeuvre h hoped to draw after Mitring squadrons about 45 . of our Line of Battle, Ships, and thus obtain on op portunity of carrying into .effea. .his projea of in vading us, This was certainly ave absurd and iinpra&iCable schethe ; but that perhaps is not, a . 1 sufficient reason for Coneltiding:that :She us Vsnrper had no intention of trying to eieCute it. — On the "6th Of April an English Brig appeared off : Are:cmdria, • coming from nitti. The Dispatches Nilich she brought Were immediately sent'by an ex press to Major MILLET, the British Agent at. Ro setta, who, on receipt thereof, quitted Rosetta, and fixed' his habitation. at Alexandria,. It is not improbable that BONAPARTE willenuea vour to make his slaves believe, that the British Fleet, under Sir R. C,Eit.np...ii, has been defeated. In the, first place„ the Official 'journal will, lbe ordered to state, that Admiral VlLLE?ftarvs sustained an en gagement of four hoUrs With Thirty-six Sail''of the Line ! ,as the dispatches come through' the me diuM of Admiral ConwAtus, the 2 i sail under his Command Will be thrown into the fteefAmt. In the next 'place: the Journalist will be directed to 'assert, : that Admiral VILLENEuvn has brought. all his Fleet safe into port ; att equivocation which will pass very well, as the ships taken are not French,' but Spa- . nish. All this the Moniteur may very gravely •de 7 dare to be true, and who in' France dares to con tradiEt the statement.?--But who in any other part of Ettrope will believe it ? • One of the .Excise Cutters, with Commissioner JAcksoN and another Gentleman on board, was taken last week and Carried into Colais: • 'The dr eumkinces of'the capture are as follows :—The Cut ter observing a Lugger at a distance, gave chase to her,', supposing her to be a 'smuggling vessel; and coming up with her, sent out the galley manned to . board her, intending to drop doWn alongside,; and' take her : hut before she could accomplish this pur pos, the Master of the Litgger, which proved to be a Frencll Privateer, clapped the boat's crew under hatches, and, consequently, When the Cutter got under her stern, , she had few or no men to work het guns, and by this means became an easy capture., Reporti having: reached this ToWn of a disturb ance at DUrham, in the Qd Regiment of, our Militia on their route from Newcastle towards the South, we have authority to say, that it was of short Conti. : nuance; and the Regiment is proceeding `'`i)n its march in good order.--(Dedy Mercury) On Monday Morning one Troop of the Third, or King's own Dragoons, under the command'of Capt.

Lord BANBURY'S piquet was now forced down Green-laic towards Dulwich. The attacking party having thus drove their ad versary from their strong holds,' they took refuge in the village of Dulwich, and for a long time kept possession, but were at lest attacked in two quar ters, and fearing they should be flanked by the de tachment of horse and the , gun that had gone round by Green-lane, they quitted the town, formed on the Heath in a line, and'sent out a field-piece, with a strong piquet and skirmishers, to annoy the enemy' in forming, on leaving the town of Dulwich, which they now possessed.

A. general engagement now took place,- and for nearly an hour the Corps were exposed to each other's fire at a very short distance : they-did not fire either by companies or battalions, but every man as fast as he could load his piece. I The party which had hitherto been attacking and advancing, at last gave way, and retired, when the others were de clared victors.
