TO EARL SPENCER, &e. &c. &c. MY LARD, AT a tims when the estimation in which the British Navy is held, is so justly high, and when the greatest exertions are eatrying on in the Naval Department, to maintain the Honour of our Country, and to which the anxiety of the Nation is direCted ; it is natural to reflect on the encouragement which has been given, and which it may be proper to Hold out, to every branch of the Naval Services and the Marine Corps, form. ing a considerable part of it, I beg leave to sub. mit a few remarks on the subject to your Lord ship's consideration. There are now alive one hundred and twenty. two Admirals on the eireitive List, who have been promoted to that tank Prom the List of Post Captains, Once the ist of 'February, 1793 ; at which time His Majesty's Marine FONCS can sisted of about 4000 Men, formed into 70 Com panics, sixteen Field Officers : they have since been increased to . 14.5 Companies i and now constitute a force of above 24, 0 0 0 M en , a fifth Dart of the Naval Establishment ; and yet only ine Field Officers have been added to the Corps. This surely, my Lord, is in no proportion to the Promotion experienced by the Navy there are now some Captains of Marines serving, who were Officers when some of our Admirals were Mid. thipmen. From the War of t 755, the Marine Corps has butt repeatedly employed, adios in Battalions, on Foreign Service, •with, the Fine -; and. have ' frequently contributed greatly' to the success of military operations. Many General Officers have witnessed, and publicly acknowledged their gal. lantry and your Lordship is well ae4tiaiiited, that as a Corps, they possess as much ;zeal and loyalty as any other part of His Majesty's Forces. • Most of the present Field Officers are turned of sixty, and some are seventy years, of age: At this period of life, after an average of long and faithful service of between forty and fifty year;, they have surely a strong claim on their Country to an honourable retirement. The Corps yet flatter themselves that yottr Lordship, as presid ing over the Department to which it is annexed, and in which you have obtained the confidence of the Empire, will become their Patron, in recom mending it to their Sovereign to (fired a further provision to he made for their Veterans, and to give such a Promotion of Field Officers, . as may afford some prospea to the junior part of it of rising in the Service ; and that they shall have no longer reason to regret their not• sharing in some degree of the rewards, as they universally do in the dangersi, which their Brethren in Arms experience. I am, Yout Lordship's Most Obedient humble Servant, Mll-SS. yam. 23, !Sot. Letter from Capt. Mearns, of the Brig Expe dition, to his Owners in Montrose, dated Canna Island, 7th January, ri3o r. " We have arrived in this harbour after a,pas sage cif two days,from Stornoway. We have had the hardest.gale Of wind that ever was known in this part of the . world ; it began on.the 4th P. M. and continued for 24. hours ; every Ship in the harbour was put on shore, but . we, with yards and topmasts struck., expeaed nothing but to be obliged, to cut our mast's. The Brig. Glasgow, Capt: Baird, from DantzicibOund to Londonder ry, is 'on shore, loaded. with ashes ; ship and cu_ go both damagO. The Brig Grace., of Ayr, from St. PetersbUrgh; Capt. M‘Laine, is on shore; laded with hemp, and has got consider able dam-ige.—l am afraid they Will ,both need to be launched. The:Captains would take it as a Varticular favour, if you would put this in the Newspapers, as it may be the means or their con cerns knowing, as this is a bad place to get let ters Several Ships put on shore—two w(3.le seen off thiiisland yesterday, dismigted.— We have not, received any damage 4" The Lady Prances Packet will convey the Fe. bruary Mail to Jamaica. She carries 14 twelves and sixes, with 3s hands. She is a fine ship, and has the appearance ofa Sloop of War : on her last voyage she beat off a Privateer of superior force. Friday se'nnight in the evening, an order was received at the Custom.house, Whitehaven, to stop all Vessels belonging to Sweden ; and the next morning a Swedish Snow arrived there 1 — the only Vessel belonging to that kingdom which has entered that Port for many months past. — She was seized, of course.—Her name in Custer vui Tara ; bound from St. Übe's to Liverpool.— She hid mistaken her course, and Would probably have been stranded to the "Northward, had she not fallen in with a Vessel coming round from Harrington, which concluded her safe into that Port. In the violent storm of the sth instant, the Schooner Litt/.,john, of Wiseasset, frnm Charle s _ town to the Clyde, was driven on shore, near the mouth of West Loch Tarbet, with the loss of her cables and anchOrs. The crew were hospita. bly received and entertained by Robert Stewart, of Stewart&ld, Esq. a Qentlernan resident in that neighbourhood, by whose. exertions it his hoped she will be got off without much damage. The vessel whosC crew were carried into Aber.. deco by the Alexander, Brand, was the Hap, from Wisbeach for Leith, with oats and wheat. She was off the Isle of May on the 4th, driven to sca by a hurricane on the sth, and being ungovern_ able, and so leaky as not to be kept under by, the pumps, the crew were obliged to abandon her, to save their lives. . . Many Shy' s navigating under the Danish Flag have been 'detained by the . Governor of Saint Helena, and. sent to England. for legal adjudica tion. The Governor of that Island' received in formation two years ago, that an immense quart. .tity of tonnage would be attempted to be• car ried home from Tranquebar through an illicit medium, by WhiCh Europe has for a length of time been supplied with the produce of our Eastern Territories. We learn that one of the most respeetable Houses in London, concerned in the Russian Trade, has agreed to settle its Insurances in tin following manner:--that thellnderwritirs should pay a total loss, on the House in question assign. ing over to them all the property insured; and it agrees in return to buy back this property at per Cent. As the whole amount of the Insurances of this House is near two hundred thousand pounds, the re-purchasing of property to so large an amount at 4o per cent. argues a strong conti. dente and hope that it will not finally be lost, By Letters from Cork, we are concerned to find, that a very dreadful fire lately , broke out there, in the tallow.house of Mr. Hawkes, chand. ler, and raged with such fury for several hours, as to alarm the inhabitants exceedingly ' it was, however, at length got under by the aftive exer. tions of the' Towns.people, Army, Firemen, Sic. Too much praise cannot be given to Lieutenant Comte, of the ibtli Regiment, who, at the risque of his life, boldly plunged into the flames, saved the lives of several persons, and also prevented the Barnes from communicating with the neigh. booting buildings.. He has been publicly returned thanks for his aaivity ; and we hear that the Corporation-of Cork, (the most ancient and re. speaable in the Kingdom, that of Ballintemple excepted) had it in contemplation to present him with the freedom of the City. * AMERICA..

Warrant of Attorney should retnain as a ',ecurity for whatever miglit appear,' , iCany, to be due upon the transactions between the Parties, but that the person to whom the Warrant of Attor_ trey was given should procc,.ed, without delay, in an.
