But BoNArmcre seems now determined to set at defiance every rule of Willey, as well at every prin ciple of justice. His .rage against Britain has be. trayed him into condul which has very much, the appearance of insanity. If he were capable of recite. tion himself, or Would listen to the advice of ra. firma men, he would know that neither Holland .nor France can do without British Colonial Pro. duce, which, from . the luxuries, ,have become al. must necessaries of life ; and the only effeel of his tyrannical prohihitary regulations will be—not to prevent Great Britain from selling her Colonial ,ProlludionS, but to increase the price of them to the Consumers in France and Holland. The Manner in'which this measure has been an. flounced in Holland affOrda as strong a proof of the arbitrary insolence of the Corsican Usurper, as the measure itself does of his ignorance anti malignity. On an occasion when he wished to carry into (fled a plan, the probable consequence of which (lie at least thnught) would be the complete destruftion of the small remains of Dutch Com. fierce, it might have been supposed that be wotrld have given the Government of that Coml. try an oppottunity of deliherating on a subject of such ihfloite importance, more eniecially as ,we have been told that the Batavian Republic is trfree and independent State, anti in rtr;ti oilier:re. with Fiance ; inst,l of which the (niter for tcrtliCting the Commerce between Great %Britain and is promulgated ,at Rotterdam 'by a Yienclt General.

I herewith enclose, for the information of my Lenin Commissioners of the Admiralty, my Letter ' of this day's date to Lord Keith, acquainting him with my having captured the French Brig Privateer Le Contrejimiral Magon, commanded by Captain 'Blackman, from Dunkirk. , I have the Honour to be , &c. JOHN HANCOCK. Craztr, at Sea, .of Yarmouth, ten A.M. MT Loan, Oflober 17, 1804.. I have the honour to acquaint your Lordship that being last night, at nine P. M. with His Ma. - jesty's Sloop under My command, and the. Gun. Brigs Bold and nn, and Florence Cutter, 'close in with Ostend, in five fathoms water, which sta. tion I had taken front the moment the wind came to the Eastward, to follow with every possible ef. ficacy and energy your Lordship's instrudions in the important duty entrusted tome, of• watching the' Enemy's movements at that port and Flushing, we observed a strange - sail standing in-shore, which, on discovering US,' wore and made all sail, steering at first with the wind abaft the beam ; we int. mediately made all sail ire chace, Which continued during the whole night, in which the stranger die. played much skill and ability in all his manixtuvers, and tried us on every point of sailing, with various success; he sometimes gaining on us, and we in our turn nearing him, till five" A. M. in which time (f!ighr hours) we had run ninety-seven miles by the log': During the latter part of the chase the wind,lreshened - considerably ; but this gave us not the advantage I expeeted;as he preserved his ills tance till a quarter before five A. M. when both his topmasts went away ; he than attempted a • masterly roanceuvre to escape, which the haze, the darkness of the meriting, and the lee tide, gave him a, lair prosped of succeeding in, by clearing up his remaining sails, and coming instantly to an an. chor, although in twenty-five fathoms water, in hopes we should either pass him unperceived, or get to leeward'. Although I was not aware, to the full extent of this accident and , manceuvre I never lost sight rif him; and at the titne it hap. Ipened I observed we were nearing, him so very fast, that I had began to reduce the sail ; hut, as we were going then more than eleven knots, I had but a few minutes time Write I W3ll up with him, and the wind blowing so fresh as to risk the loss of all our masts if I attempted to haul to wind with the sail I had then' set, I, was under the necessity ofepassing him, which I did, however, within hail, and to, windward, and not receiving any answer, except that he was from Philadelphia, in bad English, I ordered three guns to be fired into him. I then plainly discovered NM to be a large Armed Brig, with nine porn 'on a Bide ; having in a kw minutes taken two reefs in the topsails, and cleared the decks of wrecked spars arm split sails, we tacked, and ranged up within ten yards of his lee.quarter, he having cut his ce hl e , an d aze i o attempted to make sail, when just as I was on the point of hailing him, preparatory to giving. hint; our broadside, he called out and begged us not'.to fire, as he had struck. • On boeiding him I was pleased to find m y ° pie nine cotifioned, that I had captured Calif. Black. man,• so well known during the late and present war in these seas, having' received information lie w as at, sea in e Brig. The Vessel he commanded proved to be Le Coorre Amiral M a v is F renc h vateer Brig, quite new, this being her first eruize, pierced for 18, and mounting 17 guns of different calibres, viz. r.. long 6 pounders, two t B.pound Carrunades, areedne long 9 pounder, and manned with 84. men, French, Doles, Swedes, and Ameri. cans ; had been 'qui from Dunkirk 18 days, and had captured, during 1114 crnize, the Ship Belisa. ries, of Newt:Atte, Matthew Hunter, Master, on the 31 irstant, OF eemouth, the Brig Scipio, Robert Roliertsue, Master, and the Content's In. crease, 'George 'Bell, Mister, both laden with Coals, off Foley 'Bridge, on the loth ; the two former were immuiettely dispatched for Dunkirk, hut the latter was ge.C.llllUrei about two hours alter, by an English Man of War Brig;, she was proceed. log for Dunkirk nr Ostend, and e bed been lying-to for some hoers in the evening waiting for-water to I ;apprehend, Isttle eXpeaCti to cross the /link, and, find English Crnizers within the St room Sand. The. Brigs anti Cutters in company who have bore up with the Cruiser in chace; were run out of sight by twelve A. M. I beg to recommend to your Lordship's notice,. Lieutenant J. Pearce, Senior Lieutenant, Lieutenant Lusk, Second, and Mr. Lash, Master, with the w hole of the Warrant anti Petty Officers, Seamen, anti Marines, through whose united exertions this adive and enterprizing Enemy has been prevented making further deptedatimie, which, from hi's knowledge df our Coasts, added to the ample means Ile possessed in this Brig, • from hit. superior sailing and force, must have been highly detrimental to the Trade of this Country - ; nor can I, in justice, omit availing myself of this opporttinity to express to your Lordship my 'thanks to Johannes 'Whymmer, Pilot of the Ctuizer, who, on 014,, and all for mer occasions, by his correa knowledge of the Coast and Shoals, and zeal for His Majesty's Ser. v i ce , hiss a ff or ded me the most essential confidence' and assistance. I am happy to add, that the Masters of the cap.' tured Vessels, as' alai) their clews; amounting to twenty English Seamen, were on board the Comte ' Amiral Magon at' the time of capture, and are now on board the Cruizer.

Extraa of a Letter from Captain Hu ectirws, of the Lod friekuille Privateer,.brig.riggettatul copper.nottomecl, be longing to Plymouth, unit out on her first Cruise, to hi:, 30 Principal Owner; kL it Mr. Merchant, at Plymouth D ock. o„ffLi4o n , on, IN J 4 , z it Pursuing the , ordels you gave me to cru i e off • the Garonne until the bad leather cause on, 1-kept the Spanish shoie until I fell in with the Flag Ship of Admiral CoctiltAN2, near Ferrol, who informing me of the capture of the Galleons, I instantly shaped my , course for the Western Islands, when, on the .34 day, Cape Finisterre bearing N. E. 7o leagues, the man at the mast-head discovered a Sail in the S. W. standing to 'the eastward, which we soon discovered to be a. Ship, and 'at night got near enough ito make her out to be frigate-built, of about 400 tons,—As she made no effort to get away, and did not alter her course, I came up with her fast—l took it for granted that she was either an English Sloop' of War, or a Spaniard from the Havannah, but as there is no trusting, I cleared ship for anion—told my gallant Crew that their fortunes were made should she be a Don, if they would but, stand true to me when they gave me three cheers, and swore they would fight the Ship while she swam above water. At ten P. M. I got along side of her, hailed her, and on finding she came from Vera Cruz, I ordered her to bring-to. No answer being made to this, and ob. serving a great bustle on board, I hailed her again) and was answered in broken English, to.morolu. This convinced me she was resolved to resist, and a broad.side from her at the moment settled the Matter to the satislanion of all hands on board.— Never did British Tars go into anion in higher spirits—finding her weight of metal too great for us, Idropped astern at midnight in order to rake her, and range upon the other side, ,which I was . happy to accomplish, and, in so doing, had the good fortune to cut her tiller ropes, and carry away her wheel: —the cimfusion enabled me to , get on her starboard quarter, when her madding unfortunately set my fore.rigging on fire, and falling-at the time ' on board of the Enemy, my people, more frighten ed by the fire than by the Dons, flew aft, and see.. ing the destruninn of the Brig unavoidable, I in. stently resolved to attempt carrying the Enemy, sword in hand, by jumping on the poop, followed by the whole Crew. Your young Nephew* was amongst the •first, and . hauled down the Spanish Colours as soon as he got on board. The Spaniards, notwithstanding the Brig being on fire, made an ob. stinate resistance, but being driven of the quarter deck, and the forecastle being possessed by thirty of my people, they soon submitted.. ig The Brig being foul of Ole driver-boom, and threatening us all with destrulion, made the cars nage of the Enemy greater thin it would have been, as we could chew no quarter at first, part of my men being employed to cut the Brig clear of the Prize. The aetion began at half past ten P. M. but it was four A. M. before the Ship was completely in our possession, ,and the Prisoners se- cured. Our loss consisted of 12 killed, and 22 wounded;--amongst the former is the son of your gallant. neighbdur Captain CaTGRAYE, of the Royal Navy, and Old Vinegar, as you called him, the Boatswain. The Enemy had 0 killed, besides the second Captain and two Passengers, and 70 wounded. About five the Lord Melville blew up about two leagues N. N. W. of us.
