A French Privateer, schooner-tigged, and mounting 14. or i 6 guns, has been cruizing in this part of the Channel for some days past, but we have not as yet heard of any cap . - tures that she has made. The Dash Trading Sloop, JosEPH CAUNS . master, very narrowly escaped from her in the night of Wednesday last. The Sloop was I .Au.to off Rottingdean, within a league of the shore, when the Schooner bore down upon her, and, at length, %yds sufficiently near to hail the vessel, a. d order the Crew to lower their peak, and per mi: a b.)at to come alongside. An answer was re turned in the affirmative ; the man at the helm, luestever, received different instrutlions; the fore *kat let go, and art, escape t'fiethd. The Stisoot:er discharged fourteen guns at her ; o ne shot was lodged in her boom, a:ld a secon - r went through her mou_sail all the rest it,ip-,)ily•provrd inefEdual. Letters from Gibraltar, dated the r7th May, are received. The, Agincourt had arrived :!titre tl take in her Lower-deck guns, in'order to cruize off Cadiz. Capt. La GROS, late of the Hindostan, has been tried by a Court-Martial for the loss of that Ship, and honourably acquitted. The Court gave him great credit for his condua, in sinothering.the fire at a distance of 12 leagues from the shore, and there by saving the Crew. Two Frigates are ordered to be built at Dept. ford and Woolwich, which are to be called the Apollo and Shaknon, in the stead Of those which have been lost: Lieutenant BURLTON is appointed to the corn mana of the Pelter Brig. Government has purchased four of the Ships em ployed by the East India Company, which are to be immediately fitted out to carry so guns each. The Urania frigate, which sailed from Portsmouth on the Bth of March, with a fleet of about so sail, under convoy for the West Indies, arrived at Bar badoes on the 233 of April, with part of her convoy. Several of the Fleet had not arrived there on the zsth of April. The Earl of MoIRA, it will be seen by the Ga zette, has been promoted to the command of the 27th Regiment, in the room of Lord C LAR I NA ) deceased. Saturday afternoon Mr. PROUDNIAN, the Messen ger, arrived at Lord I-lARaownY's Office, with Dispatches from Mr. FR ER E, the English Ambas sador at Madrid. The Messenger came by the way of Lisbon, and landed at Falmouth on Thursday. Soon after his artival, a Cabinet Council was held, at which nearly the whole of the Ministers attended. Saturday Capt. CANTIto, of the Tiger Cruizer, arrived in Town from India, via Egypt and Lis bon, with duplicates of the lately-received dis patches from Marquis WE LLFSLEY. Capt. CAN TI LO left Lord NELSON with his Fleet off Toulon, on the 23d April, all well. The 15th Light Dragoons is on its route from the Isle of Thanes, to assume the King's Duty, in room of the 13th : three Squadrons passed through Canterbury on Thursday', Friday, and Saturday ; the remainder of the Regiment followed yesterday. The i 3th Dragoons, relieved at Hounslow, &c. by the 15th, is on its route for Ramsgate, &c. The First Division reached Canterbury on Fri. day. Letters from Alderney mention, that on Wed nesday the 23d of May, two Frigates, a Brig, and a Cutter, arrived there, with three Transports under convoy, having on board 1r Officers and 45 0 men of the Royal African Regiment, of whi c h Major TURNER is Commandant ; the wezti :tr b e i ng stormy that evening, they remained on board until t h e ne xt day, when they were all landed safe.

THE GENERAL OF ERtGADE,, PRESIDENT'OF THE DEPARTMENT OF MORBJtIAN, "TO TILE GRAND JUDGE. CIrIZEN GRAND JUDGE, " Vannes, May is. " An English Corvette was taken a . ..few days, ago by our Cun.boats, at the entrance of the Morbihan anti having yes terday learned that the Officers and Crew of this Vessel had reached Vannes, on their way to Epinal, . I had an interview with - the Captain, with the intention of obtaining by artifice some admission or accounts relative to the 'Traitors who might be aiding him on the Coast, or of the aecompliCes in the Conspiracy who might have secreted themselves aboard his vessel, to escape, as I suspeded, to England. " I soon discovered this Captain to be a person of some importance; he is a Mr. Wit tont, who landed GEORGES, ij ICli LOU, and their accomplices, on the Coast of Dieppe: I knew him well ,in Egypt, Where he was the Lieutenant of Sir Si DN EY Sit:turn; and charged by that Cortimodore with all his Negotiations with the, French Army. I thought he might make some.useful discoveries, or at.least might ac quit himself, by avowing that it was by order of his Govern- that he disembarked do our Coast that band of assas sins, and might thus furnisti a new and authentic proof of the participation of the British Cabinet in this atrocity. I have, therefore, sent hinfoff by the Diligenci, and under the:escort of the Gtndarrnerie, recommending you, however, to pay him the.resped due to a Prisoner of War. " Mr. NV AIG uT .is the same person who some years since escaped from the Temple with Sir SIDNEY S hiIT ti : lie is very reserveitanetcunning, a fanatical Enemy of the French, vain enough to consider himself destined to play a consider able part, and, so insolent as to believe that . his situation se cures him from danger. But this may fail him, if he is placed in the alternative of throwing the blame of his mis sion upon his Government, or of . passing for an ostensible' conspirator, and so liable to justice. - I thought proper to state my own opinion en this subjed. " He will set off this evening in the 'Diligence from Rennes, and will arrive at Paris almost as soon as my letfer : he is accompanied by a very young nephew and his domestic, whoni 1 did not thinkproper to separate from him. " Although I wished to conceal troni.lihn the motive of the extraordinary measure adopted towards him, he was not to be duped ; and I have reason to •believe, from my conversa tion with him, that:he had studied his part, and is deter mined to remain silent, on the principle that he ought only to render an account of his military operations to' his own Government. Nevertheless, whatever measures you may take respeding : him„ I thought,l at all events, it ,would be of importance to send you a man who has aded so conspicuous ly in the frightful Conspiracy which has struck all France with alarm, and which Providence, always propitious, seems to have thrown ;as a new example of its benevolence towards B . OHAPARTE) on the Coast of Mothiltan, where his well armed ship was destined to •be taken by simple Gun-boats, and himself to be discovered amidst, a croud of Prisoners, amongst whom, in-any other part than here, he might have remained undiscovered. I hope, Citizen 'Minister, you will approve of the mea sure I have taken. " I have the Horton; to salute you, IULLIEM." REAR-ADMIRAL 'LINOIS, COMMANDER OF TtlE FRENCH NAVAL FORCE IN INDIA, TO THE NISTER OF MARINE, &C. DATED ON BOARD THE MARENGO, I IN THE ROAD OF BENCOOLEN, DEC. 3, 1803. . " CITIZEN MINISTER, " have the Honour tb Inform you of thy departure from Isle of Recui r. I ;lave taken under the line an ling- lish Merchantman of rsoo tuns, „from Bengal bound to . China, carrying t 6 guns, and valued at ninny mullions. My mission was to make an attack upon the Island of Sumatra: Before- I entered the Straits of Sunda, : I was,desirous to ascerta►n if they had any vessels in the Road of Bencoolen ; and ) ester day I discovered six, but the night forced me to anchor at a I distance. In the morning, the vessels seeing me at anchor, ran for safety to Sellabar to the Southward of Bencoolen.— I hoisted English Colours, on which an English Pilot was sent off to demand of me the names of my Division, and to what Fleet it belonged. 1 employed this Pilot to anchor before liencoolen, out of the fire of the cannon of Fort Marl borough, " I sent at the same time La Semillante Capt. MOT AR n, and Le Barcea, Capt. HAL GA N, to Sellabar, to destroy such English vessels as they might find there • and notwithstand ing the fire of a little Fort, which discharged several shot without efFeet, these two vessels fulfilled their mission. Six vessels were burnt by the English themselves, and two were burnt by us, together with three large magazines of the Company, filled with pepper, rice, and opium. The ship Eliza Ann, from Madras, is taken, as well as two brigs. The loss of the English may be estimated at to or rz millions of - francs. I could have destroyed the Town of Bencoolcn, but we are not at war with the Natives, and I did not wish to imitate the eondua of our Enemies, by endeavouring to in jure individuals without an ()Nett. " The vessels lost by the Engiish were richly loaded, and had come from Bengal. A Lieutenant and a drummer were killed by a cannot shot, and two man were wounded. At Sel labar we respected private property, and only seized the Ma gazines of the Company ; this condua procure us the con fidence of the inhabitants. I have •no sick ; the crews arc in good health, and I am continuing my cruize. " Health and respea, (Signed) "LI NO IS."

Others besides are better able to perform with impartiality, that which will represent my charatier, affions, and transanions, tb future ages, in a light which modesty prevents me from do ing." As to GEORGES, he is always the same, in as good spirits as if .he was atperfeet liberty, and had no crimes to reproach himself with. , He. is now, the same as on -the first day of his- impri. sonment.

He refuses any legal as , istance; but as the hu4lanity of the EMPEROR has appointed the usual gratuitous Pleaders for Criminals to give him aid, lie will not be condemned without being defended. He has been - permitted the use of pen and ink, and has-written a long letter to Pretender, and several other letters to the brother and relatives of the . Pretender, and to some of the principal gratits,who are fanatics enough to unite their des rinks with that of the BOURBONS.
