Wednesday the Court of Direaors of the East India
Company voted the sum of 100 guineas to Lieu-
tenant FLINDERS, .of the Royal Navy, for the pur-
chase of a piece of plate ; and resolved, that a mas-
t r's-mate, two midshipmen, five warrant and petty
officers, and four seamen, who were also passengers
on board the Bombay Castle, should be allowed gra-
tuities similar to those granted on the I .5111 ult. for
their gallantry during the late brilliant action with
Ln,ots.

The Meru-Ane, Tnoursots, from Barbadoes, is
arrived at Liverpool ; sailed from thence on Cie
sd OF August. By the above sh;p we have the ac-
count of the homeward-bound Leeward Island fleet
sailing front Barbadoes, on the 22d of July, to St.
mitt's; from whence they were to proceed to St.
Thomas's, and to sail from thence, bound to Fog-
land, on the Ist of August, under convoy of the
Bfruhrion man of war and two frigates. The bluer,
KYSIN, from Liverpool (a running ship), had ar-
rived at Barbadoes, prior to the Mary-.lnh's sailing.
Two days before her arrival, she was attacked by a
F. ench privateer of 16 ninepoueders, and 170 men,
which she beat off, after a gallant adion of two
hours, in which a passenger and one of the crew
were wounded. An American vessel, which ar-
rived after the Islew, at Barbadoes, was boarded by
the same privateer; by which it appears she had
seven men killed, and a great number wounded.
The Commanding Officer at Barbadoes, as a mark
of his approbation of the gallant condua of the
crew, has granted them protections. Captain
TIIOIIPSON saw, last Saturday morning, the out•
ward-bound West-India fleet, from Cork, off tte
Old Head of Kinsale.
Frat.—About one o'clock on Saturday morn-
ing, the stables belonging to the King's Arms inn,
at Lancaster, were discovered to be on fire. The
drams beat to arms, aid the Volunteers assembled
with the greatest alacrity. Seventeen horses were,
with difficulty, got out : some of them considerably
injured ; but five others were consumed by the
names, together with a quantity of hay, and the in-
terior of the building. Notwithstanding the great
auctions of the people, and the vigorous employ-
ment of the fite-engines (belonging to the Royal
Eachar.ge and Phenix offices), it was nearly five
• &clock before the fine was gut under.
