Be sides their great gUns, they kept pouring mus quetry into us without intermission, which disabled the ship very much, wounded one man severely, and drove several others from their quarters.—Finding it impossible to keep her any longer from boarding us, (having no nettings and the weather being mode rate) I was under the ratessity of surrendering.—, The Privateer suffered considerably in her sails and rigging but they would never let u s k n Ow h ow many men ; hey lost.

The Fame, of 74 guns, building at Deptford, is expeoled to be launched iri the course of the ensuing mouth. ' A regulation with respeCt to the time of the dif ferent Convoys sailing from England is to be adopt ed, for the purpose of keeping their departure as se cret as possible. The 'Ordnance Board have signified to General LLOYD, who commands the Artillery at Woolwich, that the Ifix rot at that place is no longer to bear that name, but to be from this time denominated the " ROYAL ARSENAL" The old name bad its origin from the place having aetually been a rabbit warren, and the name of one of the tamest ani mals, was certainly ill-suited to the nature of the place. On the recent Royal visit to what was called the Warren, where all ordnance' stores, ammuni tion, Sze. are now lodged, His 'MAJ.E'TY noticed how little appropriate the name Wag to the place, Sze. and suggested the propriety of changing it to that of " Arsenal." The Master-General admitted the justice of the idea, and instantly adopted it ; and henceforward, in compliment to His MAJESTY's suggestion, the Warren is to be called."

The heage,adjoin ing, occupied by Mr. Conzatii-vg, mercer and draper, was also totally consumed, with alMost all the furniture, stock. , in trade, &c. to the amount of six or seven thousand pounds ; the latter was partly insured. Mr. Itoomts is,supposed to have sustained a loss of not less than three or four thousand pounds: The value of stamps in his possession are said lo amount, to 12,0001. scarcely any.of which were .pre served from the devouring element. Happily no lives were lost. The adjoining premises, occupied by IVir. RENDLE, druggist, and Mr. JOUN WYA/T, An upholsterer and cabinet-maker, were preserved only, by the unweari ed exertions ()elite inhabitants, aided by the mili tary, to whom great prise is . due. Had the premises of the latter unfortunately taken fire, it is to be dreaded that the whole range of buildings on that side of the street, on to the Guildhall, would have been consumed, owing to the vast quantity of maho gany, deals, &c. on the ;premises of Mr. WYATT, which, bad it caught, would have greatly aided the conflagration; but providentially the fire WilS got tin der in time to preserve his valuable stock.

THE KING V. IILACTJON. The Defendant had been convieled ftS the au thor of a Libel called 'Naval daniPlistr6ton, ri.- fleCting on the conduct of Lord St: Viucent hiS station as First L or d o f the Admiralty, Thepee'seges which v, ere charged in the_Libel were, that the Beard of Adniiralty were more iittent en annoy:L:lg the fenders than the .t * rie.mies of the Country; tita'.. Lord St. Vincent had taken undue Menus to remove air A. Snape thuntied , from the ColnptrollershiP of the Navy . .and that the private eorrespondence of Sir Sidney Smith had been violated by breaking open his letters. At the request of Mr. CuaVioon COUri• sel for the .Defendant, anc.ti . er passage 'was read,. which stated„, that a young Naval Office ; h av i ng ap plied for employment at te A.dmirety, was first re ptimanded, but writing to Lord St. Vincent again, he Was ;Wantonly impressed, ancr.c4.ried QII board a tender. The befeodant put in an afad tvit, which was read, io which he stated, that he wrote the pam phlet from patriotie motives, with a view to expee what he' believed to be the Misminagement of the then Board of Admiralty; that he compiled it.from sources of information which, he believed- to be au thentic and corral and that he n'ild lie -penthibl en- 'mity whatever against Lord St.. Vincent : at the so licitation of - a Mr. Bourne, he gave up the whole impreSsion then in his custody, amounting to 700 copies, who, he believed, delivered them to Mr. Toe ker, the Private Secretary to Lord St. Vincent; thathe • gave them up to, be suppressed, becauie the objeit of writing the pamphlet had. passed-away, it being em roomed at that time that Lord St. Vincent was about to resign. He added, that. he had' received the other fifty from the bookbinders. afterward, ried that they Jay by 'him' unnoticed and .unopened, and that he never gave, lent, sold, nor shared a copy to any, but for tbeeturpo3e of legal advice and his de feece. Another affidavit was read from Lieut. , C;olonel Smith, the brother of Sir Sidney . , whc stated, that some time in 05tober Admiral Mon tague camel to him in a public otfice near and • rodnced A letter directed to,his brother, W.. S.

Admiral broke open the letter ,in' his presen.Ae and having teforrnedhimself of its contents, the let ter was t*Sealedi and he matte a minute of the time and Manner In which the letter had been open ed ; that his impression was, and is, that it was done by the orders of the late Boerd of Admiralty. Mr. RVADERladdrc%Sed tho Court in a very speech, in , Mitigation of judgment : lie dwelt ott the honourable condrA of the Doicndant, who avowed himself the author when another mart way; near suffering for that imputation. 4e insisted on the non-circulation and total suppression of they. book by.. the Defendant as matter of great! extenua- Lion; and thought the Noble Lord had not consulted hisclemency in bringing forward this proSecntion. , Mr. Cuawoon, the other Counsel for the De fendant; declared; that he should Wink it prolesSion a l cowardice, and himself unworthy of his gown, if any considerations of the high rank of the Prosecutor werato make him shrink from doing his dory' bold ly, or withholding those obs.Aatien3 which 'find) , arose from his cOnduel in thisTProsecutioit.
