oi* confirmed, but cut:Ai lop d, as the Report 1.1 not merely f avoura b le, but redound - highly to the honour of that gallant and meritorious Officer ; The 'Dispatches feund.on brd the Spanish Packei Etruria, which, as We yesterday st a t e d, W a s captured hy the R.9/4.5. Privateer, have since been brought td the Secretary of States Office, and are said to be of considerable importance. The Dispatches were not throw n overboard, but were obtained by the dexterity and address of Capt. LONGTIURST, of the Privateer. The Boiru fell in with the Etruria on the 14th of last month, and having some susp i c i on t h at ,she was anEnetn i 3 Packet, hoisted French colours, which 3 D far imposed upon the Spanish Captain, that he suffered a boat's crew from the Eabis to bolird him, and he did not find out his mistake until all resistance W as vain. Capt. LONGlityßsT•conceived it to be his duty to sacrifice his private interest, by ,discontinuing /113 eraize with , and im me di ately returned to England the Dispatches. The Captain of the Etruria said th at the Combined Fleets were gone •to the West Iniii 03 , and that they were to be joined by another l'ren cli Squadron off Martinique. , If it be true that the Combined Fleets were seen off the Cape de Ve n d I s l ands, it is very improbabl e th at their desti nation can be the West Indies ; but the report of , their having gone thither• seems to have been .Itl4riausly circulated by the French for the pur 014'.1deception'; and it will be recolleeced that the w th eers of the Rochefort Squadton, when hi the t i o e3t In dies,. confidently announced their expeaa ,tl (li the arrival of the Toulo.n Fleet there.

The .EoLua, whose arrival we Mentioned yester (day, sent bet Prize to Guernsey, but put in here as the lint King's Port, and the . Master immediately carried the Dispatches to the Admiral of this Port; as he thought them of importance, from the circuinz.' stances of the Spaniards being so much chagrined at their having.bee‘ n recovered by the Privateer's people. The Admiral forwarded them immediately with the Captain's tetter to. the I3oard 4f Admiral ty by a special express. It is hoped, however, that this is not a deceptive trick of fallacious Dispatches to be purposely taken td deceive our Go vernment. The Spanish Prisoners were landed to day fOr exaMination, and from thence . it appears they were regular Dispatches of the Spanish Government ; said to be of importance. Came in also, express from Gibraltar, the Liberty Armed Brig, of 14 guns, Lieut. Corm, in only eight days, with Dispatches from Lieutenant-General Sir J. CRAIG, on the Ex pedition, which state the agreeable intelligence of his arrival, with the Transports and Troops under Convoy of the.

At the period the Li berty left General CRAIG, the whole Fleet and Army were in high ; health.

With respe& to the Sensible, your Committee observe, that Sir 130 Mr. POPITA.M. appears to have ordered that ship to proceed to 'Calcutta from the Red Sea (instead of sending her to be repaired at Bombay) for the purpose - of tarnishing a Convoy to several Transports and Merchantmen bound to .Bengal; that he gave to her Commanding ,Officer, Captain SAusa, at Calcutta, orders dated the 1 Ith October 1801, 'lO use his utmost exertions to re pair the said ship,"'and " to complete her with. Ox months stores ;" and that Captain SAUSI4 having never rejoined him after the execution of those or ders, Sir Home POPHAM cannot be considered an swerable for the manner in which they were exe cuted.--Your Committee do not mean, by this re mark, to impute any blame to - Captain SAUSE, liOt having considered any transadion relating to the Sensible, as the subjeft of the reference. made to them, further than as,such transaCtion could be con , netted with the condu& 'of Sir HOME PornAM. Your Committee observe; that Sir HOME POPHAM appears to have gone on shore from the Romney -.few days after her arrival in the :River Hughly, in August 1801, and before her arrival, at Mayspour ; and to have proceeded up the country, in compli ance with the desires of Marquis WELLESLEY (with. whom he was 'specially direaed by his Instru&ions to communicate), for, the purpoSe of couferring-with his Lordship concerning certain great objects than incontemplation, in which Marquis WeeeeSLEY required his advice and assistance ; that, he left that ship under the command of the First Lieutenant, Mr. Dams; an Officer on whose integrity and knowledge of the Service,' he states himself to have had the utmost confidence; and that he did not return on board the, Romney till after that Ship, had sailed from Mayapour; it appears therefore, to your Com mittee, that if the Sails and Stores of the Romney, sent on shore at Calcutta, were not 'regularly sur veyed before they were condemned (a point 'which your Committee, owing to the circumstances of the Ship having no Master, and the Boats Wain being sick at' the time, and of Mr. I)Avies, the First Lieutenant,' being now absent front England, are not able corresstly to ascertain), the' blame of such irregularity is not to be imputed to'Sir ii()NIE Poe- Ham ; and in support of this observation your Com mittee beg leave particularly to refer to thd i evidence , of Captain BOW'EN. Your ebmtnittee . find, that the quantity 6: Stores demanded by Sir HOME POPHAM ) while the .itaia 7 my was under repair, and supplied by Mr. Louts, who had been previously app tinted, by'Admirai RAINIER, His Majesty's Deputy Naval Officer at Calcutta, exceeded the-quantity allowed for a twelve month's expenditure, estimating that quantity ac cording to the calculation made in His Majesty's Dock .Yards, and mentioned in the Report of the Navy Board of the .20th of February 1804 ; but that . Sir Ho m e hasaccounted for th is eimnstance ; by stating, that he did not confine his demand to a provision of stores for any particular period, but took on board as large a supply as the Ship could conve niently carry, having a view in demanding snch stores to the probable ex . igencies of the service upon, . which he was expeeted to be employed. Your Committee find, that Sir Home, PoPirAIYI, in addition to the sails which were allowed by the establishmentof the Navy, ordered several to be made and supplied for the use of the .IPrn nay, which were not authorised by the strict rules of the service;:, but it appears to your Committee, from the concurrent testimony of several persons examined ''on the Sub jeft, and particularly from that of Captain Masobt„ 1 who speaks from experimentlt made -under his own observation, that those ettra sails were highly g ad.'' vantageous in the Indian Seas. Your Committee have not thought .proper to state in this Report some other instances iii which Sir Home Po eirsee appears to have deviated front the Eitirkt rules of the Service, by directing the Naval Officer to supply him with articles for the use of the Romney, viliich are ddscribld in the evideam,and were not eon. !bramble to the usages of the Navy ; such irregula app icing your Committee to be.w . kolly uh wortlly of 'Parliainen tary atteritidu, or edny other rff Aire. u 1 that which of cour.ie they ought to line rcechied, ae , ..sortiii:g' to the flustorns - of tht, serviee j in the cons'i(Vl%ttiati of Sir tiomg PcirliA:4 l 3 Accoutitt; when any extmeharge would be disa]lowel, deemed to liav 3 e:;i)f. , ,cUemt under the circent-, • • • • ,- • ritariceS Oi CliCll Thirttettalr 4 Your Committee,• hov‘ ever, think tilerrisclvei tailed tipon, in stria justice io Sir HomE PormAm; distinaly to state,,, that they have not met with any instance, in (iXeCting the Repairs, or in • th, Supply or Expenditure of Stores,_ which hr :s attended With any persdnal advantage or emoluntent to himself • nor have Our Cominittee the L.r.tt rea . - son to suspeß, from the el'idence before - th.eni, his condua, upcni any bcCasiOn, iii V,•hich the miss of the Navy hate notbeen" rigidly - observed; was in fluenced by any priVate consideration ; ha, •on the contrary, your 'Committee feel It to he their duty t:,) obsT.rve, that Sir • floNie rOFIT AM OpPejfi to , 1z we teen•dattated . by na other nrbtive but that of au ar dent zeal for the Public SerVice. . Your Committee do not think it rieceF.stiry to state their ob - servations, in detail, upon all the pbints Men tioned in tito . Report of the Navy Board of tilt , : Qoth.

POPTIAIVC appears to have used his utmost endeavours to _ob tain Money for drat ou England upon 'the tnort fa vourable terms fdr the experices of the Squadrau under his cotrimand. Your Committee have thought it their duty, in justice to the charadcr of a meritorious Officer— (who; so far from encouraging or conniving at any pudic waste, appears, in cuidcnce Wore your Com mittee, to have fireeled very considera!;le savings)—to make a Special. Report on the circumstances of hig case; being the first head of their Inquiry; though the Evidence on which their Report is fciunded is so blended With that which relates to the other particu lars referred to them, that they inust - postpone te porting that evidence until the other heads of in quiry are also brought to a conclusion.
