Mansion-House, 27til July, ISA 4P. M. • * ' A nnou ncing the Capture of the Guertier French Frigate. OUR Readers will do us the justice to recolle& that we stated some time ago our firm opinion that Ad- mi'ral VILLIAMEZ would endeavour to get into Mar tinique,in 4pusition to the reports which were'then circulated, of his having, destroyed the whole of our Settlements in Newfoundland. Although it' appears from ,the statement transmitted from the Admiralty to the LORD MAYOR, that the British ForCe in the West Indies, was ;not equal in point of numbers to the:Trench Squadron in Martinique, which con- sists'of Seven Saircf the Line, viz. Six under the command of. Admiral VILLIAMEZ, ,and the . Ate , gusus, which arrived there some time beiorb, yet we entertain no app,reliension that they will be able to do any injury either to our Possessions or to our trade in that quarter. Vii.z.ikmz's Squadron sailed from J3rest in December last, and arrived at Mar- tinique on , the 24th June ; and during the whole of the interval he has been cruizing, except during the short time he reluicined at St. Salvador, so that 'wither his Vessels nor his crews, could, for some tine, be in a condition to attempt any new en- terprize 3- n,or do we believe that, even if they were in a condition to . put tw ka, they would venture to do it in the face of four British Sail of the Line, which Admiral COCHRANE hdd un der his cpriunand. But, we have also the satis- faaion of knowipg,,frorp the. Mmlrakty that Admiral 'Sir J0)1 ' N IiVARUEN A wbo sailed from Spithod on the - 4th of June ; with, Sail of the Line, ,had orders to proceed iirmediately., and without deviation, to Barbadoes. 'The iallant Admiral was ofF Madeira' on the loth of June, , and in all probability would reach Bal.badoes in little more than three weeks from that time.' 'We have 'therefore, np doubt that the French Squadron - is at present' closely blocked up at Martinique, for we can hardly indulge - a hope that they would • Venture to sea and give the British Force 'an opportunity of meeting then:). ' feel'great pleasure in being able to-announce to our Readers the capture of the' French Frigate La Guerriere, of 50 guns, ,by the Blanche, of 38 gnus, Capt., LAvIE, after an aetion of forty-five minutes, in which La Guerriere had 20 men'killed and 30 wounded. There were none killed on board' the BlaNche ) and only, a.Lieutetiant and three Marines wounded. La Guerriere was one of the French Frigates which haS lately' captured some of our Ships employed in the Gieenland Fishery. The 'Thames and the Phogbe Frigates 'sailed for 'the Green land Seas several days before the Blunclie left Yar mouth ; there is , therefore every reason to hope that the other French Frigates will share the fate of • their consort. The Guerriere was on the 12th inst. in ]at. 67. N . long. 8. and intended,' going into Droptheim ; but having received some intelligence from a Pilot-boat, she stood out : to sea again : she had 140 prisoners on board, the crews of the following Ships, which she had captured and burnt, viz. the Simms, of Leith ; Dingwall, of London '; William, of Greenock ; and Boyne, of ,Yarmouth. The following is the official account of this Capture transmitted from the Admiralty to the Lost MAYOR " The Guerriere French Frigate,.of 50 guns and 311 men, Was captured on the 19th inst. in lat. 46. North, off Ferro Islands, by His Majesty's Ship Blanche, after an a&ion of 45 minutes, and arrived at Yarmouth on Saturday. The Gueteiere had ..20 men Vied and 20 - 'wounded; the Blanche had one Lieutenant and three Marines Wounded." TIE Thalia Frigate, from Bengal, is arrived off Portland : she sailed on the 21st March. This morning the Gentlemen who intended to bid for-the Lottery waited upon Lord GitIiVILLE, at his house in Downing-street. The Bidding was only for one Lottery, and the terms offeredby the different par ties being the same, viz. 161. 12s. per Ticket, they all joined and took it among them. The Lottery is to cou.,;st of 20, 000 Tickets, and to commence draw ing on the 13th Weber, and to finish; on the 15th at November. The following are the names of the Parties who contracted fur the Lottery : RICHARLYSON, SWIFT, and Co. • T. Bisu and Co. Sn&w LL B Towcoop, and Co. HENSLEY, PULLY, and CO. C 0? 8 111(1 Co., . IT has been confidently said, that the Messenger whO arrived from France, on Friday last, brought Copy of the Treaty concluded between Russia and that. Country. We do not give entire credit to this repOrt, and though, as .we - have before obserted, we should nat be surprised that a sepa rate Peace had taken place, yet we depend much on the high chara&er l and noble sentiments of the EMPEROR of Russia, and are persuaded that if he should be induced to adopt such a measure, it will be upon such terms as will not be injurious to the interets of this Country. A ,Cabinet Council was held on Saturday, at, the conclusion of which a Messenger, was sent,to Paris• The Funds rose one per Cent, this morning, in 'consequence, it is supposed, of a report that Lord HOLLAND was about to set off, for. France, on the important business of the pending Negotiations. Yesterday morning His MAJESTY and the Duke of.CAMI3RIbGE paraded the Royal Horse Guards, Blues,.and- King's own Stafford, in the:Cana •yard, Whilst both bands played God save the king, &c. attended by Generals CARTWRIGHT and FITZROY, - and Colonel' TAYLOR. .Princeses AUGUSTA ..and MARY, attended by Ladies ELY, MARY hOOTHBY; and ALBINA CUMBERLAND, joined on the parade, and walked t 6 the Cathedral, where a Sermon was preached by Dr. CHAMPNEYS ; they aftertvards rode in the Royal carriages to Frogmore to partake of cold collation, &c. where :the QUEEN and the rest of the PRINCESSES were ready to receive them ;• at half past two they returned to the ,Palace to dinner. . The second division of the 45th Regiment was, on Friday, embarked at Portsmouth, which. concludes the embarkation there. There is now afine small Army of 2500 men on ship board; front the size'of the transports, from the time they are viduatled for (six or eight mouths), and from other circumstances, there is little doubt that this 'army is intended for 'a very distant service—the Cape and South America. are mentioned. No other Staff but the Medical has yet joined them; the General Officers are not ex peaed till the latest moment, to prevent discovery of their destination. Sir SAMUEL Aticfattrry, one of the heroes of Egypt, and Major General Mrcatyss, who commanded at Ceylon, are mentioned among seme.others.
