The measure may be justifiable upon various grounds ; but, until we know all the fads, we will not discuss any of them. We must repeat, that we have here only given a sort of oprNing of the case, as it is stated ir, the Spanish Declaration, When the Answer of our Cabinet, and the Papers of the Negotiation appear, we shall of course resume the subjed.— Possibly the whole complexion of the case may be different.

This cirournstance is highly flatter ing to the merchants of Barbadoes, who presented this Ship to His Majesty, as it was her first cruize, only four days at sea, and gives us hopes of the most essential aid to the protedion of the trade. • I have the Honour to be, &c.

Nabrby, of Portland, Dalassachus. sett's, CRANDIII; IS/LW Cf, which sailed from Li verpool with a cargo of salt, &e. for Boston, hav ing sprung a. leak soon after sailing, sunk on the 16th' ultimo near the mouth of Bantry Bay, n endeavouring to get into Berehavcn. Captain CIANDILL and his Crew saved themselves in their boats ; but to the indelible disgrace of our Country, were plundered on their landing, by the the savages of the place ; five of whom fell viiiims to their avarice ; for having boarded :he Nabb,y, far the purpose of plunder, they sunk with her, never to rise again ! The condition o the unf•rtunate Americans was, however, alleviated by the kind attentions of RI c HARD DONOVAN, and DANI,EL MELLETONT, Esqrs. whose generosity has coottibuted' to redeem our national charaaer from the opprobrium of this barbarous transaaion. We have been favoured with the following Ex. tray of a Letter from Barbadoes, dated November ao, which relates some circumstances of the En. gagement which the Thetis, in, company with two other armed Vessels, had with the Bonaparte Pri. vateer, not yet made public, and which bears strong testimony to the gallant conilua of Capt. CHARM_ LEY, and his crew, in beating off a Ship of very su. perior force. " On the Bth inst. the Thetis, in company with two other armed Vessels which sailed from Cork in company together, met, at half past eight A. M. a Privateer, ship.rigged, which came alongside under English colours, and fired a broad. side, and then hoisted French colours. The Thetis, being all prepared, returned the Frenchman's sa lute ; and the Enemy, in a most masterly and courageous manner, wore ship, and laid the Thetis on her starboard quarter, and kept up an incessant lire for three hours, when the foremast and bowsprit went by the board. The Enemy at. tempted boarding twice, hut were boldly repulsed. The other two armed vessels had no share in the anion, keeping aloof during its continuance. Corn. :Isadore HOOD sent the Alligator Frigate in pursuit of the Privateer. She is called the Bonaparte, of 18 guns and 140 men. Capt. CIIARNLEY made his Crew a very handsome present of to'. a man, and 2001. for their bravery. Commodore Hoop gave them a proteaion .for the voyage, and int. pressed the crews of the other two armed vessels." POILTMOUTTi, JAN. 8.-,The West India rot remain, it having Seen . calin all the day.
