Extras of a letter from Mr. Charles Wormal,
Surgeon on board the Howe armed Victualler.
“ On<he 23d of July last, in the evening,
we were chafed by two rebel vessels off the
Ifiand of Ca?e Breton, in the latitude of 46,
42, north, and in longitude 59, 10, weft.—
The evening being hazy, they did not obferv^
the force of the Howe; early in the morning
we were close by the vessels; the ship we were
fortunate to capture, was the Betsey, Captain
Colville, from Grenada, loaded with rum, su
gar and molafles; the other was an American
privateer, carrying 10 carriage guns, and had
taken the Betfev 8 days. Q, the Howe's firft
appearance in the morning,ome of the rebels
on board the prize went off in a boat to the
privateer, the time getting on board the ship
affording them a favourable opportunity of
efcapirg from us. We gave chace, but to no
purpose, as she failed much fafter than the
Howe. We found on board the Betsey fix
Americans, and carried them fife to Quebec.
The Captain of the Betsey fell overboard, and
was drowned just as he (truck to'tbe privateer."
We are informed that orders are given for a
clean frigate to be got ready immediately to
carry difpatcbes to Bengal, as well on the
Companies account as that of Government.

r^HE deplorable havock which the small-pox has
& made in America for a few years past, and in
this city in particular, in the natural way, -mull have
afT^ed the mireds of people in general, who are not
destitute ®f the common feelings of humanity, arid
the distress and danger occasioned thereby, one might
imagine would have determined people mote gene
rally io embrace the simple method of inoculation ;
by which means the danger attending those who
Catch the infraion the natural way, is almost en
tirely removed.
It is very difficult to convince the minds of those
who are prejudiced againtt inoculation, of its utility
and advantage, and the little danger attending it,
although its fuccefsfol < ffe&s have been Sufficiently
experienced thr a number of years pest, by a gene
rous in iverfal plan of inoculation jn England,
enough to jellify the fuljeft recommendation.
To this unhappy prejudice in Some, and the want
of abilities in owners, we may afenbe the cause why
t%is useful method has nut been 'io generally practi
sed brreas in England;'the fubfenber therefore to
relieve as mucous possible, and to remove the dif
ficwties attending their in lbw or middling circum
stance. The Poor Refugee from the [different
provinces, and those from Permfy^ema in particular
