IT is with 'the most sincere satisfaaiori that we announce to our. Readers the capture of the Marengo, Rear-Admiral f.ZNois, and . the Belle' Poule Frigate, by a part of the Squadron under the comman d of . Sir JOHN BORLAS, WARREN.—Admiral. after a Civ.ize t three years, during which time he 'made many , very valuable captures; and had . some fortunate escapes, was returning to Europe when . . . be fell in, on the 13th March last, with the Squadron • under the command of Sir J. B. WAtitai . N . , off the Cape Verd. Islands . , The London and .the zfinazon, being the I,ve,athermost Ships, were ordered to c .ace. The signal w-as obeyed. with promPtitude, and after a, ruining fight of some hours, the Ma ; enoo" and the Belle POule struck their &lours.— Ad.niral I..ANots made a more determined resistance than might have been expeEted from his con dust upon former occasions. His charader for courage - was much tarnished by his .hehatiour after the Lngagement at Algesiras ; for it, can not be forgotten, that upon that occasion, though r,onarnanchng a Squadron greatly superior to that of Sir JAMES SAUgARE, he got on board a Frigate and. wade. the best of his way into Cadiz, covered with leaving his' Fleet to make the best defence it Hissubsequent engagements with the home ward-bound Indilnaen, and with the Centurion, did not tend much to restore his reputation. In this last naton, however, he displayed more. courage, and fought with great gallantry. It is, however,: not i,nprobable that his obstinate resistance Was in a great degree occasioned by his unwillingness to lose the fraitl of his-sucCeisful. Cruize in the Indian. Seas, rthe-greater-part of which were on board the 411aL rengo. After the mtion Sir J. B. WA RItEDI t in rrith his Prizes to 'St. Jago, one of the Cape de Verd Island's ; and, having refitted, sailed again en his destination. The Dispatches were sent home in the John Bull Cater, which arrived at Plymouth on Saturday. Th: , . following Note was sent yesterday afternoon from the Admiralty to the Loi) MAYOR : " 1 Athniraity.

The Prince of Peace, 0113 guns, out , six days from Spain, has been captured by La Lbire Frigate, and carried into Coil:. THIS morning a Go tie;:bzugh Mail arrived. A Letter from Stockholm states, that G l eral KALK. ; - 'REUTII has received orders to advance into Swedish Pomerania-; but the same. Letter adds, that it is . probable the difierences between the Courts of Berlin and Stockholm will be. adjusted. .If the Prussians ,should invade Swedish Pomerania, a War between RusSia and Prussia will be almost inevitable, _because the Emperor ALEXANDER is bound by Treaty, as well as by interest, to protect, Sweden. We are -strongly \inclined to believe that' the King of Prussia will, for the present, rest 'satisfied with, the acquisition of Laueuburgb, and that he will not, by an unprovoked attack upon Sweden, force- Russia into aEtive hostility against him. Yesterday wa received Paris. and Dutch l'apers, the former to the /6th, -the latter to the 30th ult. ; and this morning we received the Leyden Paper of: the 2clinst. They do not contain any positiVeinfor mation respecting the Evacuation of Cataro by the Russians. If such an important event had taken place, it would, in ali probability, have been. men tioned in. the Paris Papers . ; but they are silent upon the subje&. The Leyden Paper contains Paris Intelli gence to .the 27th, but not one word respeaing the Evacuation of Cataro. The KIt;TC; of PRUSSIA has appointed M. KELLER his third Cabinet Minister; and,the reason assigned for. this ,appointment is,. that' tho Russian 'Minister, M. D'ALorEus,. refused to -transit& business with Count H.A.O GNV IT Z. • THE High Court of Parliament assembled at its usual time this morning, in Westminster' .There was a very large attendance of speEtators, arising, it is supposed, from a general rumour that :Mr. TROTTER was to be exaniined this day.— The Managers proceeded in the. important duty entrusted tO them, and were chiefly engaged in re suming the examination of Messrs. DRUMMONDS' Clerks. On Friday last *the Bidding took place in Dublin for the Irish Loan, for the service of the present year. The terms offered by Mesirsi IRVING and Co. of London, and• ,Mr. WHITE, of Dublitb. who joined their Lists., were the most favourable, and of course their orfer was accepted. The Terms are, for every 1001. Sterling, 1391. in the Irish ai per Cent. Stocks. Sir JOHN NEWPORT, the Chancellor of the Exche• quer for Ireland, will open the Budget on Wednes day.

The ROvA.r., EA MILY are expeeted to come to town to-morrow. Mr. JACKSON, our Minister at Berlin, on 19th ult. announced to the Prussian Cabinet that an Embargo had been imposed by the British Government on all Prussian Vessel's ; at the same_ time stating that his diplomatic funEtions there were at an end, and re quiring passports for himself and the Members of 'his Embasy. Pa. - ,sports were delivered to him two days after, and at night the Secretary of Legation, and others of the _Minister's Suite, left Berlin ; but to proposed to remain as a private charaEter till the -end of the . month, in conscqtience of Mrs. J,AcKsoN being in an advanced state of pregnancy. The Gazette of South Prussia, published at Koeu-' igsberg, asserts, on, the authority 'Of the Govern 'nfent, that, the best understanding continues to prevail' bet Ween the Russian and. Prussian Ca binets, and that there ,did not. exist. the, .slightest probability,bf its being interrupted.. It adds, that all the magazines colleCted by the'Russians on the frontiers are now selling at - very low prices. • The King .and (ueen of Prussia had .Icft,Berlin for Potsdarn, where they are to' pass the Summer.
