As the accounts from 'Tuscany and Ragma, re. lative to the progress of the infeElious distemper, are continually more alarming, besides the Regi. ments of Infantry which are already on their march for Italy to reinforce the Cordon, the 4.th Regi. ment of Artillery has likewise received orders to break up for the Austrian Coasts, Islands, and Har bours in the Adriatic Sea., The English in the kingdoms of Naples and Etruria are making preparations for departure at the first notice, as they do not expe& that these two Countries will much longer be suffered to re. main neutral.

I transmit, for their Lordship's information, a copy of a Letter from Captain Foote, of His Ma. jcsty's sloop the Favorite, to Captain Laroche, of His Majesty's ship the Melpomene, at present corn. rnanding the Squadron before Havre tic Grace, ac. quainting him with his having captured La Rae. crocheuse, a French Privateer from St. Vallery, and driven another into that port. I have the Honour to be, &c. KEITH. Ills Majesty's ship Favorite, at Sea, SIR, December 13, 18o+. I have the satisfaction to inform you, that I yes_ terday felt in with two French Lugger Privateers, and that after a chace of three hours, I captured La Racerocheuse, Captain Jacques Broquant, out one ddy from St. Vallery en Caux, mounting four. teen guns, four.pounders, and carrying 5.6 men.— The above Loggers had in their possession a Brig, .and were boarding a Bark, both which they quitted on my approaching them ; I therefore made signal to a Cutter in sight, which I believe to be . the Countess of Elgin, to chace the Merchant Vessels, .and from the exertions I ob s erved her to 'make, I have no.doubt but she has succ!eded. The Luggers steering different courses, the head_ most one escaped; her name is l'Aciolphe, mounting the same number of gtins as the capture, belongs to the same Port, where she must. have returned,, having thrown every thing overboard in the chace.

GRAY, from Mor laix; sailed thence yeaterilay, and has brought over Lieutenant-Colonel PHILLIPS, of the Marines, and his son, Passengers, on Parole for three months ; has been laying at Morlaix one month ; during which time no communication whatever was suf. fered between the Nile and the shore. The greatest rejoicings took place at Morlaix on the zi inst. in consequence of BONAPARTE'S Coronation. Several Swedish Vessels entered Morlaix while the Nile lay there, all of which, it was conjectured, would be detained, as a Gun.boat, mounting twelve 18.poun. ders, lay in the Road, and which guarded the Nile the whole time she lay there, as well as having two Centinels kept on board her from her first arrival to her sailing. Arrived the Queen, of oft aunt, from the Channel Heet ; Lad} , Warren Armed Ship, from Torbay; and Co/poys Schooner, from a Cruize ; also the Hanbert, KNUDSON, from Frederickstadt ; and Laura, Rowe, from Lisbon.

SOLLA4 QUl$ DICAlti lALIUM 4UDIIAT TUE VINE RAKE. The following is a summary of the principal Evidence that appeared on the Court Martial held at Plymouth, on Monday, December to, on Captain J. thINTRII, and the Officers and Crew of His Majesty's Ship Venerable, for the loss 'of that Ship, in Torbay, _on the night of the 24th of November last, and in consequence of which they 'were all most honourably acquit ted, ,except a private ,Marine, who, for improper behaviour After the Ship struck, was sentenced to receive two hundred lashes horn ship to ship round the Fleet : • • On Saturday afternoon, about half past three o'clock, the wind being westerly, attended with heavy rain, suddenly shifted to' the N. it:, attended also with the saute kind of weather, and likewise ,foggy. On observing the Pill, de Paris hetht in her Lotneh, our buars were hoisted in, find evety• neces, nary refutation m j itte fur sailing, At half fast four ;r 11 IP lc, ;w t every ions . shipT h e t o i pe n spew light, : a h n t 0 , to the southward. The signal was then made fot to h was o n o t ew their h l e t d a the ship under three top-sails, fore-sail, gib, and stay-sails, and brought to for the purpose of weigh.. ing and fishing the anchor ; in hooking the cat, one of the men fell overboard ; in lowering the boat ' from the starboard quarter to save the man one of the falls was suddenly let go, in consequence of which the boat was swamped, and Mr. asls, Mid.' shipman, was drowned; it was also believed that . two men shared the same fate : the boat on the Jar. board quarter was now lowered, and saved the man who first fell overboard. During this time the Vene - - sable having drifted considerably towards Brixham, the boats were hoisted in, and sail made on her ; finding we could not weather the Berry Head, the ship was tacked with her head to the northward, af. ter making several short trips, at times bearing away, and at others l i ufliog up, for the different ships working out of the Bay. It was now near eight o'clock;the night extremely dark, the wind variable, and the weather foggy, we were not able to discern the land, in consequence of which our chief depen dance was upon our soundings : on the men in the chains calling by the deep eight, the helM was put, a.lee ; the wind at this time shifted 'nearly foul points to the eastward, notwithstanding which the ship came. round, and when . we braced idiOgt head yards, the men at the head called, bY , ifte nu* seven. It was now nearly Ri a dint the ship , did not gather head-way . quickly, the jib ana nisln ". top-mast stay-sails were hoisted.. At this time t he ship struck the ground, and 'almost immediately altet fell round upon her keel, and with Considerable force again struck upon the reef of rocks known by the name of PaingtortsLedge. The signal of ills: tress was now made, .and continued to be repeated while we had a gun above water, or a false fire left. An attempt was made 'to furl the sails without circa, the ship striking so forcibly as, to pievent the peo pie going aloft. 'The boats 'were, hoisted out for the purpose of orrying out the stream anchor.-- The ship at this time beginning to make water, the chain pumps were set to work, and before the stream anchor could possibly be got into the launch, the starboard side.was reported to be bulged : this might be, to the best of my tee:Mallon, about one hour after she struck the ground. The weather' , at this time clearing up a little, we were able to judge of our unfortunate situation. To our great mortifica. , tiun there appeared no hope' of saving the ship, and very little of saving the lives of the crew. The masts were now ordered to be cut away,.. and in a few minutes they fell over the offside: first the mizens then the main, and, lastly; the foremast. The c rew were then ordered to get into the. boats as.fait as, they arrived to our assistance; which the y were abte to do by going over the stern, and by three o'cloct in the morning were all safely out of the 'ship, PE- A siatie few mew cept the Captain and Officers, an- unt il who were determined nut to quit the yea". the Captains utn return of the impetueux's boats, the Officers did.

It Is the also well known, that the peopl e on the teach, e mployed where the wreck lay, were ' plundert ng what kw of our t hings floated on shore. Indeed, we, the Officers, are of opinion , t hat we should have met more humane treatment had the Ship been lost on any Enemy's coast ; and sure w e are,that An.r of His M o je st y' s - Ships Whicb the inevi table P eri $ of service ma y p l ac .. it i a similar situatio n , will ex. periencc th e same trea tment. Too much. cannot be said of the pr om p t and fearless assistance afforded .us by the .mpetueux and her boats, to which "4 Officers and Crew of the Venerable art certainly in. debted for their lives. Among the meritorious tot' vices of th a t spirited and most able Officer, Cape . T. B.
