GALLANT ENTE ISE.—On Wednesday re'n, night arrived at Whitehaven the Shannon, of Work. ington, which had been captured the 2+th ult. about 65 leagues to the westward of Toree, by a Logger Privateer,' hued out at Flushing, carrying I+ guns, and iso men. From the examination of Westray Curwen, the mate of the said ' . Ship, taken on Wednesday sc'n. night before the Magistraies, Jarass Sresr, Esq. apt; 'the P.ev. W. HARRISON, clerk, it' appe a rs !h at the Shannon, Taos. OSBORNE master, belonging to Workii:gton, took in a frLiglit at Liverpool, from which port she sailed on the 15th . of February lat for Baltimore, in Maryland ; that on the 23.1 of the same ,month she was by stress of weather put into Lochindul, in Ireland ; at which place she remained till the 221 of March, when she left it, and pursued her voyage; but, on' the 2.1. th, she fell in with and was captured •by a Dutch Lugger Privateer,.: from Flushing, called the Admiral Brisque (more prObably the Admiral ./Irri;a), Capt.'Ss EYES. Cap. fain aiSORNE and three of his crew were put on board the Privateer, a► u i the remainder of the crew, seven in number, were left on board the Shannon, under• the Priae.master and nine seamen, who had orders to ,r►avigate her to a Port in Holland,.. Of these, eight were Dutch, and two Frenchmen. The next day, the Shaman's people, which con. sisted of the Nlate, five men, one of whom has a wooden leg, and a boy .about eleven years of age, rose upon the ten Foreigners, whom they confihed in the cabin, and took possession of the deck of the. vessel, which they kept till the 29th ; when, being almost exhausted through want tit provisions„ they made a proposal to the Frenchmen, that if they would quit the vessel, they should be accommodated with \the yawl, to carry them on shore in Donegal Bay, Ireland, near to which they then were. Atter some parleying, the eight Dutchmen consented to this offer, and. accordingly, and as stipulated, passed singly throUgh the cabin window into the boat, anA steered towards the shore. The two Frenchmen re. ma'ined in the Shannesq, whialt, after encountering many storms and dangers, arrived in Whitchaven harbour on the 31 inst. as already mentioned. The two Frenchmen are both young men : one aged 21, born at Ostend, and has his discharge from the Army : the other aged 23, burn at Rennes, and by trade a tailor. It might not be improper to mention the means employed by the English to recover the vessel.- , -.- Their situation altogether , Was a very extraordin ary one. They co fined the Enemy., who were well armed, and had plenty of provisions, in the cabin, whilst, it may be.-said, they themselves were <am jived 10 the deck, with scarcely any thing to sub. hist on for so many days I The Baltic Fleet bailed yesterday afternoon frum the Nore, under convoy of the Mercator, John, and Lord Elden, Ar tntti The Ge ly Arid a nd Glutton, of 64. guns each, have, from their unfttnest fur set vice, been paid off at Chatham, and their crews turned over to the Namar, of 74 guns, and La Porztoae Frigiti., tithing fur se,u it that place.

The. Brig La Boalle.Foi, from St. Andero, was taken by the Brigands, and every soul of the crew massacred.

This is all that I could,reirderstand relative to herself, after hearing an in laity Of incoherent stuff, both blasphem ,, us and Frolant. But that Part of her cnnilua which is alone important, and occasions this address to you, relates to a youth by whom she is accompanted,and who, she says, is her son, now eight years old. The child positively affirtfis, that he was stolen by this woman two years since, whilst a t pl a y wi t h three other boys in Whitech a p e l, w h ere hi s parents lived; that his father was a Gentleman, whose name is r'i!- h am lluXbard (or Hcbert), and his mother's name : Mau; that his father lived in a large house, in Whitediapel, but did.not keep a shop ; that there ;vas a brass plate upon the door. That lie (this boy) had no brother or sitter ; that the number of 4 the house. was, he thinks, t 7 ; and that he went to school at one or two doors from hit father's hoUie, and be. lieves that the number of,the schoolhouse was, he thinks, 16; that , it was summer time, and he wan dressed in nankeen jacket and trowsers, and was playing in the street at twelve o'clock in the day, with three of his school.fellOws, viz. Jackson, Baxter, and IVa/4er, when this woman addressed herself to hint, and told him, if he would go with her, she mould give him fine things.; that site laid :hold of hint, and dragged hint away, crying and :screaming very loud ; that there were many people in the street, but nobody meddled with her, or in. quired wlutt site was about. That she took him `into the fields, there stripped him, and sold his clothes in a village about three miles ftrsm town, and cloat4ed him in rags ; that he has been obliged to follow her, and be obedient to her ; and that they have been wandering about ever since—have been at Portsmouth, and then they came across the country to Lynn, in Norfolk, but evvoided Lewdest, where he has never teen since he was stolen.' This is the p`rincipal and most interesting part of the boy's tale. The person of the woman is squalid, mean, arid•ugly in the extreme ; her eheek-tm - nes high, her eyes small grey, her nose low and thick ; she is ktch marked with the small. pox, Seamed between "her left nostril and lip; her looks wild hut confident ; her speech- quick, and her language course and brutish ; and 1 am tare is Irish r " The .boy has a regular and b eaut if u l' s et of features, dark intelligent eyes, brown complexion, wood face, fine teeth. dark brown hair ; is ancgm.' manly quick and sensible ; well made, strait, and parfeCt in his limbs,and has an archnrsS and quickness of apprehension verty unusual in children of his age.
