ARRIVED a Privateer, of 14. guns, but could *not learn the particulars. CAPTURE OF 7116 KENT EAST INDIAMAN• [TROEt THE INDIA TELEGRAPH, OP OCT. IS, 180e).] Ox Sunday last accounts were received in town (Calcutta) of the capture of the Hon. Company's Ship Kent, Captain RIVINGTON, after an en gagement of cousiderable duration with the Con_ fiance, Captain SURCOUFF, off the Sand Heads. The fdllowing particulars we have copied from the Mirror. "(In Tuesday morning the 7th instant, at day light, a strange sail was discovered in the N. W. Puarter; the Kent at that time was lying to for a ilot, and Capt. RverzroTort , . conceiving the vessel in sight to be a Pilot Schooner, immediately born down, hoisted his Colours, •and made the signal for a Pilot. The stranger, upon this made sail, and hauled up towards the Kent ; it wasloon after discovered that she was a ship; the hands were immediately called to quarters, and the ship prepar; ed, for aCtion. Upon her approach to the Kent, as she chewed no Colours, a shot was fired at her from the larboard side, which was followed up, as she passed upon the opposite tack, by a broad side, and a constant fire kept up while she was within reach of the gaps.. The Privateer, for it was now ascertained to be so, soon afterwards tacked, came up on the larboard side, and commen. ced the Engagement within about musquet-shot, but without doing much injury, although she con tinued in this position for some time. She then shot n-heat,and passing round the bow Of the Kent, renewed the Engagement on the other side, nearly at the same distance, and for the same length of time, but with as little elle& as before. She afterwards made sail ahead, as if with the inten tion of relinquishing the attack and making off, which she could easily have done, having greatly flit Superiority in sailing; when she had got about the distance off' half a mile a-head of the Kent, she was, however, observed to haul her. niain:.tAil up, and wear round immediate ly_ towards her; and in about ten or fifteen Minutes afterwards, or as soon as her guns would hear, she, for the first time, hoisted the •44ational Colours (Sotracarrr afterwards de 'dared that he had forgot them before) and fired a broadside and a volley of musketry from every ' part - of the ship, which was immediately returned y the Kent, and continued while her guns would bear • tiie,Privateer then wearing round her stern, fanged elOse up alongside, and received a full dis charge from the Kent',‘ starboard guns ; at this mo_ tient the &Lida whole broadside, and threw a num tort of handirertades from her tops into the Kent, Wile of which penetrated the taiiper deck, and burst on the gun.deck ; at the same-time a fire Of ,musketry was kept up from her tops, which killed and wounded a number of the Passengers and Re cruits that were on the .quarter.deck and poop. When the ships were completely locked with each other, Captain SURCOV re entered at the head of about 150 men, ~ ..ompletely armed for boarding, having each a sahrennet a brace of pistols ; the i con te“ upon deck . was now desperate, and Ansi 'ecl fur about twenty minutes, but the Enemy, haviiig greatly the superiority, both in numbers and arms, were vittorious; anti a dreadful carnage )ensued; they shewing no quarter to any who came • in their way, whether ,with or without arms ; such was their sayage cruelty ) that they even stabbed some of the sick in bed. • Upon gaining possession of the poop, and trench immediately cut down - theCOlCitits, and soon after this had complete possession of the ship. Captain •StiacOuryi finding SQIiIC Lion in, his crew to board, had been under the ne.. cessity of plying them several times with liquor, as well as to promise them an hodr's pillage, in the event of carrying the ship, and this time they completely occupied, breaking open 'every pack age they could come at, and even taking the Coats, hats ) . shoes, . &c. froth the persons of the Officers And Passengers. • , Irorn the coMMenceirient of the Attion anal the French were in possession of the ship, was shout-an boar and forty-seven minutes ; and from the gallant manner in which the Officers and Crew of the Kehl behaved while the ships were clear of each other, there is riot a ddubt but she would have overcome the Privateer ; but there being a very . great defickney orsmall arms, they had no means of repelling such a' number of boarders; .so well prepared for close action ;.. and Captain Suit couFF acknowledged, that had he not succeeded in carrying her, his own ship must soon have sunk alongside, . . his with extreme regterwe add, that Capt. 113v.tNprom, after the most manly ,coanduet in the defence of his ship, fell by the.musketry from the tops of the Privateer,. while SURCOUFF was in ;he aft of.boarding. In the afternoon 'the Officers, Passengers and Creiv-of the Kent were sent on board an Arab ves sel, which have in sight, and which bad been plundered by . the Privateer .the day before ; some of the Seamen were l holvever r detained on board the Privateer and put in irons, with the hopes of inducing them tp enter. The Chief Qffieer, Sur. gcon, and Surgeon's Mate, with about thirteen of the nibs; dangerously wounded, *ere detained on board the Kent, under pretence 'of.its requiring too much time to remove them. Although the -Prkze.gnaster ,informed the 'on. fortunate people who were sent on board the Arab, that there ‘4s abundance of pro:cision4 and water, yet iipo'n inquiry, there was', found only a 'very small quantity of rain water, scarcely equal -to half a pint each per day, for four dayi, with a few dates and raw rice to subsist on, and they Were 6anse4tkently reduced to the utinost distress, . • . -. • • . . they were relieved by one of the Schoonirs , whidi,they. met in the Roads::.. . . • - .. ----- ' ... . j .•,., Loist or urrrearts, SEAMEN, P A sm.. ezas-aturraiwirs, Killed and.

The Shannon Frigate has cut out of Ports in Norway, three vessels which hid been sent in there by French Privateers. From Egersund, Captain PATER cut out the Charlotte, MACH It, from London to Bo'ness, and the Jason, from Meinel for Lynn ; and from Stavenger he took the Henry, 'Captain GREY, from Dantzie for London, laden. with wheat. The Henry, for her better protection, had been lashed, by the Enemy alongside the Town Wharf, at Stavanger, buto in that situation out Tars boarded her in the pre. sence of five thousand people, and carried her (Alt, two former having arrived in the Forth, Yesterday morning the Old Stock Exchange was opened for the first time, under the title of " Stock Subscription Room," when only thoie Gentlemen who had been regularly balloted for, and lEid paid their subscription of ten guineas, and who had agreed tb subjea themselves to the new rules and. regulations of the House, were ad. mitted. A shOrt times however. after their-louse opened, a Mr..HAttas, who ha d been objeaed to•on ac count of the lateness Of .his application, attempted to force his . way into the new Subscription- Room, in order to transaft business as .usual, when his entrance was opposed by several Sub. scribers, who took part with the Committee ; which on being observed: by another party, also Subscribers in the House, they immediately came to the suppOrt- of Mr. Hitting, and with their assistance, he carried his point so-far as to obtain a peaceable admission. A Mr. Thostrsort,. on having been made acquainted with the success of Mr. HAINES, made a tender of his subscriptioo,. which being refused, he walked dittelly into, the Subscription Room, and' met with no inter. ruption. The Committee, in the interim, having been advised with regard to themselves no longer to adopt compulsory measures, immediately sent for a Constable, and took hint - into custody while in the Subscription Room ; but on their bringing him to the door, they released him. On the first appearance of disturbance, the LORD MAYOR was applied to, to decide whether the Subscription Room ought-to be considered as 'private property or a public niarker; .btir his Lordship Would ndt take any ecispitance of the affair. There have been several new• rules and regu lations made and introduced on the opening - of the new ,Stock Subscription Room, which, 'if ad.. hered to, will certainly put it on a more re. speaable footing 'than it has hitherto been. There is a penalty of two guineas to be -levied on every subscriber, who throws off another's hat, which was paid yesterday by one of the Committee, though. it was suspeeted to have been done inten tionally, •in order that none may - attempt after. wards to exctise themselves, ;k . i' , lii,i'4.S..k . , • • Leitzic, Feb t 6. ir following is a Copp of tht Note trans . - tnitted on the zth of February', by the Yrus6an Minister; Count HAUGwITz;. to I,OIIICARYS RTi the •English Ambassador; at Berlin. " The Undersigned, State and Cabinet Minister; has Laid before His PRUSSIAN MfiIESTY the two Notes tvhich Lord CIA yni . or,r, Envoy ,Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from His Majesty the KING of GaPA T BA ITA IN and IRELAND, has - done: him sue honour to transmit to-him on the z7th of January Ist of February last. " The Underiigned, having it in commission to return an explicit and circumstantial answer, is under the neces sity of intbrming Lord CAkstsaoßT that His Majesty Cannot see, without the utmost grief and Concern, the violent and hasty measures to•which the Court of London has proceeded against the Northern Naval Powers. Error alone can have given occasion to these measures, as the assertions in the Note of the '27th sufficiently chew.'' its that it is said that the Maritime Alliance has for its ob jet} to annul the Treaties formerly concluded with Eng land, and to prescribe Law to her with tesped to the pridciples of them ; that the Neutrality is only a pretext to impose these Laws on herby force - , and to establish a hos tile Alliance against her.' " Nothing, however, is farther 'from the above-men tioned Negotiation, than the principles here supposed. It is founded in justice and - moderation, and the toMmuni cAtion of a Copy of the Convention to such of the Belli gerent Powers as had the justice and patience to wait for the same, will prove this beyond the possibility of a denial. 44 When in the beginning of January the MiniSter of HIS BRITANNIC MAJESTY officially proposed to the Undersigned the question--' Whether the Northern Courts had adually concluded the COnfederation which had been. reported; and whether Prussia had acceded .to it ?'—the King conceived that the respect which Sovereigns owe. to each other, and-the liberty possessed by every Indepen, dent State to consult its owh interests, without rendering an account to any other Power, authorized him to with hold any communications relative to himself and his Al lies, and contented . himself with answering, that as he had seen, without interfering, the connexions which England had entered into without consulting him, he considered himself as entitled to the same confidence; and that if the K I NG of Gat EAT BR i T Al N thought it his duty to support the rights and interests of his Kingdora, His Px u ISt AN MAJESTY considered it as not less his duty to employ every ineans.in the defence of the rights and interests of his Subjeas. 6 ' This Answer might have sufficed a *few weeks since ;. but in the situation in which affairs now are, the King thinks hithself called upon to make,an explicit Declara tion to the Court of London, relative to the spirit of the Treaty, which has probably been - attacked, because it was not known, and which is far.from having the offen sive views of which the Contracting Parties have been ar bitrarily accused. They have expressly agtted that their measures shall be neither hostile, nor tend to, the detri ment of any Country, but only have for their object the security of the trade and navigation of their Subjects.-- They have been attentive to adapt their new connections to present circumstances. s' The strid justice of His Majesty the Mitre:Loa. of RUSSIA has, even in the detail, proposed modifications tvideli alone might be sufficient to indicate the spirit of the whole. It has since been determined that the Treaty shall not be prejudicial to those'! reaties which had been before concluded with any of the Belligerent Power's. I t was also resolved, that this determination should be can didly communicated to these POWers, to prove the purity of the motives and views of the Contraaiug Parties. But England would not allow them time for this: Had she waited this confidential communication, she might have avoided those intemperate measures which threaten to spread still wider the Haines of War. Shz might likewise have received satisfaction from the Correspondence with Denmark, if, instead of dwelling on. two detached pas- sages copied into the fir - 41 Note of Lord CAR vs to ar from the Note of Count BERNSTOK”, of the 3 Ist of De cember, the Courfof London had attended to the solemn declaiation, that' it could never be for a moment ima gined that Denmark entertained any.hostile proic&s against Great Britain, or.such as were inconsistent with the main tenafice of a good understanding between the two Powers ; and that the Court of Denmark congratulated itself' on having obtained an opportunity to contradict such un foUnded reports in the most positive manner.' This open and explicit declaration accorded With the assurances which the• Undersigned had mare than once given to Lord CAR Vgl , oltT on the saint subjeci ; audit is difficult to conceive, how the English Court could con clude, as it afterwards appeared that it did, from the Note of the Danish Minister, • that the Convention of the Con traeting.Powers went to establish new principles of Mari time Law, which had never been acknowledged by the Tributialsof Europe, and the obicel of which was hostile to England.' " The conclusion is-, totally false, and as little autho rised by the answer of the Danish Court as the undeserved accusation, that it proposed • to excite a Hostile Conic deruy against Great Britain, and with that 'view was em ployed in active preparations.' • " Never were measures more incontestihly merely de fensive than those of the _Cowl of Copenhagen ; and the spirit of them will he less mistaken, when it is recoiled ed what menacingdetrionstrations that Court expetienced On the part of the British Government, in coast:Tient:ea the ,atriir of the Frigate , Broyai before it adopted dux measures. , " The arbitrary condua of England on this occasion is - rutumlly explained by the lofty Keteesions 'she - has so long advanced, and which have been Several times renewed in the Notes of Lord CAR VS FOR T, at the expnCe ofall the Maritime and Commercial Powers. The British Govern ment has, in the present, more than any former WaT, as sullied to itself the Sovereigntyof the Sea, and -h4s.arbi trarily formed a Maritime Code, which it is extremely difficult to reconcile with the true principles of the .Law of Nations; it exercises over fnendly and Neutral Powers a usurped jurisdiaion, • which it maintains-to. be just; and endeavours to represent _as an indefeasible law sanctioned by all the Tribunals of ELtrope. " Never have the 'Sovereigns of England permitted th e i r Subjeas to be made amenable to this law, in the numerous eases when the abuse of power-has transgressed the limits of justice. The Neutral Powers have made•the.strongest • -remonstrances and protestatlons ; but • experience. has. shewn that these are generally without effi.4. It. is not therefore surprising; that after so many and repeated inju ries they should have had recou rse to a measure which may prevent them in future, and with that- view have entered into a well.coneerted Alliance,. which' 'may define their rights; and place them in a proper relation to the Delli,se. rent Powers. • " The Maritime Alliance, as it hat- been COnsOlidifed, will lead to this sanitary bbjeel, and theicingrhakes odi f culty to &dare to HIS BRITANNIC MAJESTY that he hai found.in it his men principles, that he is intimately con vinced of its necessity and utility, andthat be has torthat ly accedidlci. the Ctinvention which was concluded be, twcen the Courts of Russia, Denthark;-and Sweden, on the 16th of December last : His Majesty is therefore among the number of the Contrading Powers, and, as such, is obliged nbt dilly to take a direa part ih all events which may interest the allisirs of the Neutral States, but is bound to support that Convention by such vigorous measures as the course of circunistatices may require. " The Note of Lord CARYSIORT refers to a subjeil re- Wive to which HIS MAJESTY conceives he is not obliged to answer, nor even has a right to .form an opinion ; dis pute exist between the Courts of London and Petersburgh, which in no manner have connealon with that which the above-mentioned Minister has encleavottred to unite them. But as much as the concial of 'Prussia has been hitherto guided bythe most .unexceptionable impartia lity, it will be equally guided by a respit&lor the M. Fiances which are a proof of it.. Stipulations whiz!) ccin taM in themselves nothing hostile, and which the security of his Subjetts prtscribed to him, bind him to have re course to all the muis width Providence has . placed in his power. " As unpleasant as the.extremities ate to which Eng land ha* proteeded, the ,King elltertAill3 no doubt of ithe possiPility of a speed): return, to cianciliatory andpacific dispositions; and in this respea confide; in the sentiments of justice .which he ha; so often had the bappinesss- to experience on other occasions from, his bitITANVIC MA.
