riiday, a grand review
,tiro,c place in Crow-
park, near Hastings, which belongs to the Hon.
Mr. Pelham. Brigadier-General Lenox, accom-
panied by Sir Arthur Wellesley, Sir John Osborne,
and General M'Kenzie, &c. with an immense staff,
here upon the ground.
The troops reviewed were the brigade returned
from the Continent, consisting of the 3d, or Buffs;
the :36th; and the Bth, or King's Own. After the
usual compliments being paid to General Lenox,
Sir Arthur Wellesley, as second in command, pi n-
ceeded to manoeuvre the troops, who went through
their different evolutions us the satisfafbon of the
Reviewing General, and numbers of veteran Offi-
cers, from the adjacent garrisons, who all express-
ed, in the handsomest terms, their approbation of
their appearance and discipline. The troops then
retired to their different barracks, Bexhill, Battle,
and Hastings. All dig neighbouring Nobility
and Gentry attended, a the speaacle was most
brilliant. Carriages of all denominations were in
requisition. Crow Park is about six miles from
Hastings ; the situation is beautiful in the extreme.

FROM SATURDAT NIGHT'S GALETTE.'

Admiralty-Office, May IT, MI6.
Copy of a Letter from Vice-Admiral Lard Collingwrsnd , Com-
mander in Chirf of flit MAjr.t,'s ships and vessels in the
Mediterranean, ta William Marsden, Esq. dated cm board
Ilia Majesty's slop Queen, off Cadts, the 19:h of April,

Sts—l have the satisfaction to acquaint you, for
the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, that His
Majesty's ship the Renommee, Captain Sir Thomas
Livingstone, (one of the ship; stationed ~iff Cartha-
gene, for the purpose of watching the enemy's
squadresi,) on the hth instant, captured. the Spanish
brig of war the Vigilante; for the partkalars of
which, I refer you. Sir, to the inclosed copy of Cap-
tain Sir Thomas Livingstone's letter. I am, &c.
Cot. anscwoon.
flia Maj-sty's shh.Renommie, at anchor,
Europa Point, W. N. W. oue mile, Stti
April, 1106.
MY LORD—I informed your Lordship by the
Nautilus, that on the Sd instant, two Spanish ships
of the line, a frigate, and brig, came out of the port
of Carthagena, having under their protection a few
small coasters, and that the ships of the line and
frigate chaced us to the southward, while the brig
and convoy steered along shore to the westward,
the wind being north-easterly. •
Finding that the Renommee had left the Spanish-
ships a great distance a-stern, I made sail as soon
as it was dark, for Cape de Gatte, in the hope of
Lotting off the brig, and in this I was not disap-
pointed, for at two, a. tn. on the 4th instant, we saw
the brig anchor under Fort Calleretes, distant from
it about two cables length..
I was prevented by baffling winch, from getting
up to her for three-quarters of an hour, hut wheii
we did get up, her fie was soon silenced, and she
was in our possession at half past three, the batteries
on the shore began to fire as soon as we were within
reach, and continued doing it tiff we were cut of
their range. There were two gun-boats with the
brig, th.', fired a few shot at first, but they soon
ceased, and 1 believe ran on the beach. The brig
was in tha ad of warping on shore when we cons-
menced firing, but fortunately we cut the warp' and
thereby prevented her getting on shore. lam hap-
py to say in this affair we sustained little or no da-
mage, and bad only twee men wounded.
'1 be brig proved to be the Vigilante, belonging
to his Catholic Majesty, commanded by 'lenient.,
de Navio Don Joseph Julian, mountigg eighteen
guns, viz. twelve twelve-pounders, lsing gnus, and
six twenty-four pounders, shorter, with a crew of
one hundred and nine men, and is well calculated
for His Majesty's service.
She had one man killed arid three wounded in the
fray ; her main-mast went overboard soon after we
took possession; and the foremast was nearly shar-
ing the same fate, I therefore took her in tow, and
bore up for this anchorage, where I arrived this
day; rid was the more induced to take this mea-
sure, as, upon our apflarance off Cape de Gatte, all
the beacons towards Carthagena were fired, and I
did not know how near the ships which had chaced
ns the dry hrfore might be, I hope, therefore, yaur
Lordship will approve of my having so done.
I have reason to be well satisfied with my officers
and crew on this occasion; their steady and well-
direaed fire did them great credit.
As soon as the prisoners are landed, &c. I shall
return to my station.
I have the honour to be, &e.

Copy of a Lerr.r fo,m, Commodore Sir Wow? P"pham, to Wit.
boo, %11..de •, E•q. dated on board Hie Majesty'. ship Dia-
de.o, 'I a* Bay, Nardi 4, 11,06.
SIR—I beg you will do me the honour to inform
my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, that, at
nine this morning, a ship was discovere.l Coming
from the southward under a press of sail, and, soon
after, two more; one of which the station on the
lion Rump reported to be of the line, and en ene-
my's ship, upon which I direeted the Diomede and
Leda to slip, and keep on the edge of the south-
easter, which had partially set in ou the east side of
the hay.
At eleven the headmost ship hoisted French co-
lours, and stood towards the diadem ; and, by
this time, I was satisfied, from the judicious ma—
neenvre% of the ships in the Offing, that they could
be no other than the R tisonable and Narcissus.

At twelve the French frigate passed within hail
of the Diadem, when we changed our colours from
Dutch to KlTlish, and directed her to strike, which
she very properly did immediately, and I sent the
Hon. Captain Percy, wbo was serving with me as
a Volunteer, to take possession of her. She proved
to be La Volontaire ; is nearly eleven hundred
tons, and 'norm's forty-six guns, with a complement
of three hundred and sixty men on board.
I congratulate their Lordship., that, by this
capture, detachments of the Queen's and 54th re-
giments, consisting of two hundred and seventeen
men, who were taken in two transports in the Ray
of .13 stay, axe re.tored to His Majes• y's service, &c.
I have the honour to be, &c.
