The Diana frigate, Capt. hlstrro, has returned
to Portsmouth, after a long cruise, in search of the
French frigates which lately annoyed the Greenland
Fishery. She was only able t• trace them to Ice-
land. The Princess Charlotte, Dryad, and Arnethost,
frigates, were with her, but they could not gain any
intelligence of their objet. The other frigates are
gone to Cork. The Diana sustained a very dread-
ful gale of wind, in which she lost her foremast,
bowsprit, and main and mizen top-masts, several
men were drowned by the fall of the foremast, and
several others wounded. Captain Matron, we are
sorry to add, had his arm broken by the ship's tak-
ing a lee-lurch ; he is doing well.

The expedition has probably sailed from FaL
mouth before this time. On Saturday morning, a
sloop of war came into the Bay, and fired s:gnal
guns for the troops to get on board the transports,
and be prepared to sail the moment the rernaindor
of the convoy should appear in the Offing.

The Carstence, on the 23d ult. fell in with several
gun-brigs, and chased them into Granville Bay,
under cover of their batteries.
On the 24th of this month, a man of war, of 74
guns, is to be launched from PERKY'S Dock, Black-
wall, which is not yet named.
Sunday morning, Cal. GOLDI 11, of the 6th Dra-
goon Guards, quartered at Lewes, received orders
for four troops of that regiment to proceed immedi-
ately to Portsmouth, there to embark for foreign ser-
vice. At four o'clock, in the evening, the squadron
hit Lewes Barracks, under the command of the
Hon. Captain Kuno, loudly cheered by the po-
pulace. They halted on Sunday night, at Brighton,
and continued their march on Monday for Ports-
mouth, where they exped to be joined by the other
squadron of the regiment, under the command of
Captain BUILIZIA.
The Centaur, of 74 Runs, Capt. S. I loon, is re-
fitting at Spithead. This brave officer, it is ex.
pe3ed, will go to Buenos Ayres when his wound
is healed. —He was ordered to Spithead several
days before the anion, and was waiting to be suc-
ceeded in his command. The sth, 36as, and 88th
Regiments. it is teported, were to go with him.
The Officers of the Gloire French frigate, have
been examined, which is necessary to condemn the

•
ship as a prize. Although they fought so obsti-
nately against our Officers, they cheerfully walk
arm-in-arm with them about Portsmouth. The
French Commodore is wounded in the arm. They
are the mest officer and gentlemen-like looking men,
and have the best moral countenances of acy ever
brought into that town. They are mostly member,
of the Legion of Honour.
The Hiunburgh ship, Perie, arrived at Ports-
mouth, from Monte Video, brings the intelligence
that she MI in with the Jamaica frigate., off 'be
Banks of Newfoundland, cruising in seach of Sir J.
1 B. WAIRCN'S squadron, wi..h the information that
the French Fleet, under Admiral WI t.t•um tz,
had been seen off the Cherapeak. We hope, there-
fore, that Sir Joule will receive timely information
of the enemy's rout. Some fear, however, as we
mentioned in a former paper, is entertained, that
SirJetts's squadron may have encounters .d the storm
by which Sir RICHARD 41 R•Clltai sae esi so se.
verely ; hut no intelligence to that effed has heel
received.
