His Majesty's Ship Venerable, at Sea, 13th July, isox. You must have observed my giving chase to an nemy's Line of Battle Ship at day-break, this tnorning, at seven ; she hoisted French Colours, and I could perceive her to be an Eighty Gun Ship ; at half-past, being within point blank shot, the Ene lly commenced firing, his stern chace guns, which I did not return for fear of retarding our progress, Until the light and baffling airs threw the two ships broadside-to, within musket-shot, when a steady a n d warm conflia was kept up for an hoar and a Lail - , and we had closed within pistol-shot, the Ene ..ny principally direding his fire to our masts and rigging ; I had at this time the misfortune to' per 'ceive the main-mast to fall overboard, the fore and inizen-mast nearly in the same state, and since gone, the Ship being near the shore close to the Castle of San ti Petri; the Enemy escaped. It was with much flifficulty I was enabled to get the Venerable off, her table, and anchors, all disabled, and it was only by the.great exertion of the Thames with the Boats ~o u sent me, she was saved, after being On shore for some time. I shall have no occasion to comment on the bravery of . the Cificers and Ship's Company in this who had with much patience and perse *trance suffered great fatigue by their exertion to tei the Ship to sea, and not five hundred men able 1 440 to quarters; but I beg leave ro add', I have been "most ably. supported by Lieutenant Lillicrap, tecona . of the Venerable, ,(first absent), all the Other Officers and Men who have my warmest *corn- Theaciation ; and have to lament the loss of Mr. Williams, Master, an excellent Officer, with many other valuable people killed and wounded ; A List of whiCh I have the honor r to inclose.

The ROYAL FAMtI. aFter breafast, with a num ber of Nobility, rode in their carriages to Chick erell Common, where the KING reviewed Colonel MANNINGHANes Corps of Riflemen, and the York Hussars, and also a Detachmeni from 'other Regi ments. They went through their evolutions with great ability, particularly in repulsing the opposite party, stationed for the defence of Portland Island. The whole of the manauvres were under the Com mand of Colonels STEWART and MANNINGHANI, who have taken infinite pains to complete their Re giments in military raffles. The bayonet . charge was well supported, the assailant party being compelled to seek shelter in boats stationed on the water. It had a grand cad, and gave great satisfadion to the ROYAL FAMILY, and spedators. THEIR MAJESTIES, after the review, were in vited to partake of an elegant breakfast, provided by Colonel MANNINGHAM.

A Royal Salute vvas.fired upon His Royal High ness's arrival ; one was also fired upon his entry in to the Castle, and another upon his leaving it. THE THEATRE. Drug-,Lane Theatre opened for the Season on Saturday night, with the Tragedy of Richard the Third. The hero of the piece was, of course, sus tained by ICENIBLE, whose merits in the charader are too well known to require any comment at this period. He performed it with a rigid observation of the text, and with suitable energy and spirit.— Some of the passages he gave with unusual anima tion, and notwithstanding all the exertion which this arduou's part demands, retained his powers to the conclusion. He was received with strong marks of popular ebtoo-n , nn antr,rp. azd w i t h veal applause through the Whole of his. performance. Wxouoirrox, who is always respedable,'because he always plays with goad sense and unaffected feeling, gave dignity and pathos to the charader of King Henry. He also was received at his entrance with the tokens of publk resped due to an old and deserving Performer. CI-IA.)11.

Miss Blocs) who by her assiduity last Season ) and the variety of Characters which she performed, has proved herself a very useful Actress, obtained a gratifying tribute of general welcome. The iest of the Charaders were supported by those who have " no mark or likelihood" that can entitle them to a distind report. The Farce was No Song no Supper. BANNISTER, Junior, in Robin, and SvETT in End/err;, exhibited all their usual oink ability, and were both Very diverting. The manner in Which they were both received, was such as to shew that they rank with the highest favOurites.of the Public.

According to Letters from Turkey-, Ceneral ME NOU has surrendered Alexandria by Capitula, don, but with the extraordinary condition, that he shall be permitted to remain in Egypt With his Wife and Children.
