In the afternoon another strange Line of Battle Ship passed Europa Point, also (torn the Eastward, having Spapish Colours hoisted, and an Adiniral's Flag - at the main. She appeared to be a very fame two.decker. The appearance of these two Line of Bartle Ships so unexpettedly, has occasioned much speculation, and appears very suspicious. NOVEMBER 7. . , -By a Vessel from Carthagena, in five clays M.: sage, we are informed, that the two strange Linea Battle Ships which passed this on the 4th, were the Argonaut, of 8+ guns, with an Admiral on board) and the St. Cris/al./at, bf 74 guns, both of which ships sailed from Carthagena tur Cadiz, on the 30dt. of last, month, and chat several more Line of Bata*. Ships were getting ready as fast as possible at Car . . thagena, to join a Squadron which is to he formed ay, Cadiz ; and that two-Frigates crowded witliSe47,, men had arrived from Majorca, to man the which the Spaniards . were fitting out at Cartliageni: 'Tii very obvious these Naval preparations canti44, be intended, against France, and chat they can but ome cbjeet in view.

About six weeks ago Ms.: Whi.:BURIL/DGE o . of Portsmouth, transmitted to his son, in London, a parcel containing goo!. in.notef by the coach, which never came to hand. Suspicion arising against John Thilthorpe, the Porter at the Angel behind St. Cle ments, where the coach came to, Mr. BURR! Does son applied to Mr. Borrn, in Bow,street, on Tuesday se'imight, who, by sending for and examiningdivers persys, clearly ascertained that 'cliilthorpe was the offender, and that he and his wife had left London on. the Saturday beforein the Norwich coach, • and were supposed to be gOne to b;r father's, a baker, at Elienborough, in Norfolk. A letter being dis. patched to bring Mr. Burridge from Portsmouth, he, with a judicious officer from • Bow -street, went in pursuit of Thilthorpe on 'I hurstlay se'nnight, and the following morning, he and his wile were found' at the father's house, with 3781. of the notes lost. They were brought before Mr. BOND late on Satur. day evening, at his house at Brompton, who com. milted them to different prisons. A non of the name of W.. Thorpe, alias Ginger Will, was apprehended at Sheffield a few days ago, with a quantity of pick.locki in his possession ; he has since been conveyed to Birmingham,, and charg. ed on oath by a number of responsible witnesses, with having on the th,olt. feloniously broken open the warehouse of Wilks and Jewsbury. , at Measham, in Derbyshire, and stolen thereout two Pieces of unbleached utile() their property. H e was committed to Warwick Jail to take his trial at the next Assizes. MADRAS, Mar 7. Tti e Settlement was thrown into the greye_st consternation•on Saturday last, by the raging, of an alarming and .formidable fire—at the Godowns and Banksalls to the Northward of the Government Custom-house. About the hour of one in the morning-, a link.. sail was observed by the Guards to have taken tire, which, from the combustible nature of the bilild;ng and the dryness of the season, speedily communi. .rated to. the adjacent Godowns ; and before any as. sistance could be procured, it had taken a wide and extensive range. Immediately on the alarm being given, every precaution to prevent the, progress of this dreadful calaMity was resorted to, the whole of the men employed in the Beach Department, -the available. Garrison of the Fort, together with detachments from His Majesty's ships in.the Roads, were speedily in motion. The Right Ilonnurahle the. Governor, with his personal staff, arrived.at the Beach about six, in order to dired and give energrip the general exer tion. ' • - At this time the fire was at its greatest height, having communicated to about 7o buildings, which, with their contents, was one continued blaze. Ranges of Godowns were, however, speedily re. moved, with every other building which, from its situation, could endanger the public safety. By these and other judicious arrangements, a stop was put to its further extension, and as a great supply of water was now obtained, the efforts of the multitude were diteded to overcome 'the power of the flames. The wind during the night had been very mo, Berate from the Southward, which fortunately pre_ served the immense and beiniful - range of buildings lately ereaed by Mr. C.oppRANE. About noon a considerable-. diMinution from the violence of the confiagiation had taken place, and towards the evening the mind of the Public avas cOnsiderably relieved•. Every precaution was taken by Government for the protedion of individual property, and to guard against any further spreading of the flames, one hundred men of Hitt Majesty's 34th Regiment, with four hundred Sepoys, and their proportion of European Officers, 'were ordered on duty during the night. It is impossible to estimate the loss sustained by this dreadful calamity—as mush of the rice and other articles may yet be- saved, as soon as it is _ possible to . remove the ruins which now surround them, and which in many parts yet continue on fire. We are happy, however, to add, that no lives Were lost on this melancholy occasion, many se. vere wounds, however, were iniliOed. on inditri, duals, in their endeavours to stop the progress of this dreadful and all.devouting enemy. jortri Cit AMIE a, Esq. was on Tuesday lastsworn in a Member of Council at , this.Presitieney, under the usual discharge of artillery. • On Wednesday. evening the Right ilmourable the Governor gave a ball and supper to the 'dement, it being the at niveFsary of the capture of Seringapatans. Major General 'BAIRD, who so gallantly led the storming party on that memorable day, was pre_ . sent;at the entertainment. The General was de. carated with the Order of the Crescent, and wore the sword presented to him by the Field (At:cis of the Army. - His Royal Highness the Nnuou entered the riall.room shortly after ten o'clock, and being con dutled to his seat by-the Right Honourable the Go. vernor, daricing immediately commenced, and, with the interval of supper, continued t o a late hour on Thursday morning.

They continued firing till we began climbing up-the work. They then escaped instantly into the wood. Had not the battery been of a great . perpendicular height .—I think we must have made s.iitne prisoners., This work is on the side of a woody mountain, about forty yards in length, and'eorhinands a ravine (the only approach to it) Of exattly this width. tlt had twelve embrasures..
