Maj 27. The Neapolitan Court expresses, in the
strongest terms, its amicable disposition toward the
various belligerent powers; but is resolved that no
harbours ffiall be open for the reception and sale of
prizes brought in by the cruizers of Great-Britain.
M. Jamineau, the English Confcl, has been earnest
ly requested to defid from any farther solicitations
on the part of the King his master, in regard to this
fubjed, and especially as measures have been taken
effectually to secure a general circulation of com

the end destroy it. The Neapolitan naval arma

EDINBURGH, (Scotland) May 20.
Extract of a letter from an officer on board the Ra
milies man of war, dated Hamoaze, Plymouth,
May f 2.
“ Our squadron have been very unlucky in wait
ing for winds, and our (hip in particular most un
fortunate. The day after I wrote you, the Admi
ral not thinking it fafe for such a fleet to lie there,
ordered us round to Torbay with the convoy, and
in getting under weigh we struck upon the Swiftfure
rock, which damaged our falfe keel, but not materi
ally, as she made no water worth notice. We lay
at Torbay till the Bth instant, when our ship was
ordered round to Plymouth. We weighed the Bth
at midnight, and turned down (the wind being to the
westward) as far as the Sound by 4P. M. On the
9th, the wind coming to blow very hard at S.S.W.
and it being thick weather, we hove to, not think
ing it proper to run in with the land ; but it after
wards clearing up, we saw we had the Sound open;
and it blowing a very hard gale of wind, having no
offing, we could not clear the land on either tack;
we accordingly were obliged to run in, it blowing
then a very hard gale. At 6P.M. we let go our
bed bower anchor, which dragging, we let go our
small bower, and then our bed bower held; but by
our driving we had rather given the Bienfaifant a
foul birth, which obliged them to veer away able,
otherwise we were riding in their haufe. The gale
still incieafing, and a very heavy sea breaking over
us, at about one o'clock the 9th instant, A. M. the
Bienfaifant, having parted one of her cables, drove,
and kept firing guns of distress. At about three
quarters past one A. M. we parted our best bower
and drove. We then let go our Iheet anchor, but
to no effeQ, still driving it towards the rocks, till
ffie drove foul of the Bienfaifant, and carried away
her head and bowsprit with our quarter. She im
mediately cut away all her masts, which luckily fell
clear of us, and the sea hove us clear of her; but
to our great mortification, found our ship strike very
heavy abaft. We then cut away all our masts,
which went over the fide, rearing every thing before
them, with a crash too horrible to any one who was
not an eye witness to conceive. There we lay for
two hours and a half, expecting every thump ffie
took would fend her in pieces, and there was nothing
but death and deftruftion before us; in the mean
time we were employed at the pumps, and staving
all the calks in the hold. At 4 o'clock, A. M. the
flood tide began to make, and the gale rather abat
ing, we brought too our Iheet cable, and hove her
fume fathoms off, and it rather ceased her thump
ing, and as the tide made she got afloat, and the
gale decreasing we got assistance from the yard. It
was very lucky for us it was dead low water when
she went on, and she likewise went on stern forempft;
had she gone on broadside to it, she would have up
set and gone to pieces instantly, and not a foul could
have been laved, as it is all high sharp rocks, with
breakers as high as the mail heads. She makes so
much water that we can just keep her free, making
upwards of fix feet an hour. She is now a meie
wreck, and will need a very greatrepair. We have
got her this morning warped into Hamoaze, and
will proceed to clear her for docking. It is con
jedured, as she will be so long injepairing, that we
