Slit, Agreeable to your direCtions I put to sea from Port Royal on .the 25th ult. with the Superieure, and Plying .Fish and Pike Schooners. On our arrival. off the Isle of Pines, I had the mortification to learn from the Pilot the Stork could 'not be carried within Zo leagues of the harbour of Batabano. I therefore clireaed Captain Rushworth (to whose glivity and exertions I feel highly indebted) to prQco.ed with the Superieure and two Schooners, after having reduced. their draught of water as much as possible, and re - 3 nforced them with the Boats, and a party of Sea men and Marines from the Stork and I have the pleasure to acquaint you; the object of your orders was effeeted in a very handsome stile. For the-par ticulars of which, and his subsequent capture of a Spanish Letter of Marque, ,I have the honour to refer you to the inclosed Letter from Captain )Xushworth.

W. 22 miles frOm Batabano, when I anchored with tie Flyingfish and Pike Schooners; at midnight weigh ted and stood for Batabano, to be off that place be fore break -of day, but owing to baffling winds it took us until day-light. I thought it expedient to land, which I accordingly did, with eighteen men from the -Stork, thirty-five from the Superieure, and ten from the Flyingfish, to guard the boats ; but af ter landing.two miles to windward of the battery, the marshy irregular ground so impeded our march, and the Enemy pet ceiving it, sent a party of sol. : diers to way-lay us in the thick bushes; but the Inost 'forward of my party 'charged and completely put them to the rout, after leaving two killed and one badly wounded. At that period a general algm had spread s the Militia had joined the sta - - tionwry regulars in the front, aided by the men from the . shippingin the .Bay.. oar retreat .being then cut off; we were obliged to rush forward to gain the f)rt, which,' I am happy to say, was completely tarried in three minutes; the Enemy retreated in ell direaions, after firing two guns and a volley of small arms towards the path %wt. were obliged to pass. The battery consisted of six long eighteen pounders, mounted on travelling carriages, 'which we spiked, and then proceeded to take possession of the Vessels, which consisted of one Felucca, pierced for foutteen guns, having one eighteen pounder and twelve blunderbusses on board ; a Schooner, pierced for twelve ; a French Privateer of four, and three other Spanish Vessels, with One gun each ; six other , smaller with cargoes, which were saved, and the Vessels burnt, not having sufficient men to carry them out. The next morn ing came off a fit of truce ; from them I. learn their .loss was considerable. lam happy to add, we - had only one man badly wounded on the of> easipti. I also feel it my duty ft state the great assistance received from Lieutenants ItuSell and Murray,. and Sub-Lieutenants Blake and Brown The Sea- men and Marines under my 'command A6ted in a most 011 ant manner.

Mark-lane is freely supplied with Wheat, particularly from Kent and Esseit ; but the general run of samples are.olcoarSe • quality. Barley, Oats, and most articles of the pulse kind, - although' they come plentifully to mar ket, maintain the last month's prices. Clover Seed . is on the rise, from a pretty general opinion that the crop of laSt year Will not rise well. ' Hay continues reasonable, from the open weather, but straw is on the adVance. Turnips in most countries keep sound,' and free growing ;. and the Winter Tares, and early sown Ryes, promise an early succession of succu lent.food. A considerable diminution is every where observable in Winter Faliows, and a proportionate increase of green Crops-- , --an alterative that will be fotinct highly advantageous on many Soils. Potatoes turn out a large average crop. The Hop MarktS are somewhat brisker. Smithfield has had a start in most articles, although the supplies are still abundant ; Veal and Pig Pork are getting high priced,. Lean Stock has declined in price at most of the Country Fairs, particularly in iarge Beasts : Store Sheep likewise fetch less money. The Wool Markets are dull, and rather cheaper.

On the t Ithinst. at eleven in the morning, the .garrison of ,Magdeburgbfiled off in presence of the division of the Army under the command of Mar shal Nty. We have! captured 20 Generals, 800 Officers, and 22,000 Soldiers,. among whom are 100. artillerymen, with 54 pair of colours, 5 stand ards, 800 pieces artillery, one million pounds of powder, a great assemblage of pontoons, and an im acme quantity of Meta; f ur the casting of cannon.

This was a mistake : there were ti,ooo made prisoners, in cluding 5000 cavalry completely mounted. Thus, in consequence of these two 'capitulations, we have obtained 120 pair of tolotirs and standards, and 43,000 prisoners: • " The total of prisoners made since the CQUI. . . menxment of the campaign exceeds 1 , 10,000 ; and that of the colours taken ) 250.

" CUXHAVEN, Nov. 25.—This will be the last op portunity I shall have of writing to you by the packets from the Elbe, as an order has been received, that none in future should come here from England, and the only remaining packet (the Diana, 'Cat: STEWART, a Schooner) is ordered to proceed frotn hence to Husum. The British Agent very pru dently determined, that the last Mail from Eng land should not be tbrwarded to Hamburgh, attd he took the precaution of putting it on board the Schooner, until he should receive some po sitive instralions regarding it from Mr. Ttioior- TON, the British Minister, who afler narrowly escaping from the French, cumin in Danish Holstein, until he shall be able to determine on the place of his residence, in the novel and gular predicament of Continental affairs. One of the late instances of Gallic treachery respeEled the posts; a positive assurance was given, that all he Mails might pass and repass through Ham burgh,. without the smallest molestation from the French, Government, and the British post was par ticularly distinguished as in the most perfect secu rity. The fakt,. hotC7ever, has been otherwise ; a very few of last Tuesday's letters have arrived here; all those addressed to Merchants appear to have been opened, and there is not a single letter of Friday last which has been permitted to escape ; the whole post has been - detained, so that all you 'will receive on your side, of this date, consists of some dispatches from Mr-. THoRNToN, a nd ot4er coromu- DiCatiOlai from the British consult, • ota save 'alreadyfien apprlse . coz itthiniate hypocrisy pra&ised by Al; BoVicriVNi'is, until the vulture vas in a situation to iiOurice upon his prey--- , the curious scene . of deception I:va's ininated t.) , a present of a sideboard of plateto thir French Minister, and Of valuable jewels to his Lady; as an indicatiOn of the ardent gratitude of a gend rous and opulent city, which, in imminent danger, had bein.proteed by his kind offices. While the s r feps of his portal were yet marked by the feet . of the beater's of these presents, General MORTIEM entered the place, and reduced it to a condition of ignominious, dependence. It would shock the feel- ings of every man acquainted with the dignity and, chlraCier of a merchant, to see some of the most .wealthy and respe&able in this city, foLowed to - the public Exchange, and even into the houses of theii-:most intimate friena, by an armed soldier; who i dirtied to fire upon them if ►hey attempt to escape. Six days have now expired 'since the French took complete possession of Hamburg - h . , and every libui the net has been gradually dr4wing closer, •so as to render escape from the city almost impossible; many 'Gentlemen are here, who, with out an article of baggage or linen, took a tavour able opportunity of passing the Altona gate, which is yet open, and under the pretence ofd morning's walk; escaped the hordes of soldiers, commissaries, and vies, with which all the avenues of the city have been crowded. It is by these means lam enab ed to write to you from this place, in the ne,ighbour hodd of which the French are every day colieding. Among the favourite diverSions of the' Ham burghers are the public walks in the neighbourhood of the city which are kept in order at consider able eipence. Here the French Officers, mounted on their chargers, have intruded contrary to esta- blished custom, and. even ladies of distimaion at their windows are insulted by the familiar notice of these-tinselled foreigners.• RAINvII.LE, a French Inn-keeper at Ottensen, was AidL--de-canip to Do- MoURtEa, and was the Officer employed to arrest 'BOURNONVILLE and the other Commissioners from Paris, at the commencement of the Revolution, This person and an Italian Prince were accidental ly announced to M. MO= Eit at the same time in his saloon of audience. The General, instead of paying his first attention to the dignified Italian, advanced to R.AiNviLLE, took him by the hand, entered into familiar conversation with him, and then turned to the Prince with a cold apology fOr not having observed that his Highness was pre sent. These circumstances would deserve no re gard, otherwise than as they expose the groisness, severity, and, I may say, brutality, to be appre hended in all ranks of these marauders, from the highest to the lowest. Numerous circumstances, all of them incidental to the present war, rtiu:.l in volve this venerable city in absolute destruction. he general bankruptcy in all tke-cominercial towns o f Pinssia, Brandenburgh, and Silesia, are among the' most conspl.cuous of these causes, as this port was the dhannel through which their demands were supplied. Add'to this, the immense hurthen im posed by a numerous French ganison at free quar ters ; the extravagant contributions required to sa tiare The rapacity of the new proprietors, and the an nihilation ut all confidence, winch caw never be restored while Hawburgh is dependent , upon the controul of NAPOLEON. These calamities are not Confined to Efamburgh; they are extended ever a tract of country whiCh has been the theatre of war, bounded on one side by an imaginary line, reaching from Frankfort to Denmark; and on the other, by the Baltic Sea and the Northern Ocean—Berlin, the new'capital of these domains of BONAPARTE, by the absurdity 'of its founder, was raised in the midst of a barren and inhospitable desert; the misery of famine was one day experienced in . that city and the inhabitants were without bread.-;:-- - To alleviate this dreadful evil in various parts of the conquered territory, the granaries of Hamburgd are pouring forth their stores, and that city will experience the fatal consequences of its new con nexions. The future projects of BONAPART2 are, perhaps, not less gigantic than those which he has ,`so recently accomplished. It is expe6ted every hour, that the French was to pass the Danish frontier, and enter Altona ; and it is agreed by the ' Court of Denmark, that no opposition should be - given, in consequence of a • threat from General IVIORTIER, that if a single trigger be drawn by the Danish troops, that beautiful city would ;be exposed to 'pillage. From Altona, the design is, to proceed through the Duchy of Holstein to the Streigin's of the Baltic, distinguished by the name of the Belts, which during a - severe winter can be passed over on the ice, and day this expedient, pos session may be taken of the Capital of CHRISTIAN the SEVENTH. All these schemes are- auxlliary to one grand object, the exclusion of the British Traders from the Sound, and the complete es,a, blishment of the authority of the Conqueror from the coast of Norway to the shores of the Bos phorus. Yours, &c." " P.S. About seventy vessels, some of them dmpped down from Elamburgh, others detained by orders from the Commodore, are now otf this harbour.— They are to proceed to England with the first fair wind ; asgun was fired this morning from 1. 1 dim able Frigate for their departure ; but the wind shift-. ing, they yet continue in the Roads."
