Capt. 144Fast.stsc, of the C2:,11.),i•, arrived in
the Frith from Quebec, spoke the ship Integrith,
Capt. THOMSON. from Liverpool to Quebec, 7th
Sept. in lat. long. 18. 90. W.
Captain CAHPILLL, of the Pie, from New.
York, spoke, o the 9th inst the brig Alisrp,Ss•w,
of London, from Bristo: to Quebec, out 32 days,
short of provisions and water.
The tralsgerhan packet, which was detained at
Falmouth with the Lisbon Mail, we understand, has
been allowed to sail ; but the sailing of the convoy
for that port. which was appointed for tft. 10th inst.
is, we find, put of until the Moth. Possibly this al-
terlition in the sailing of the convoy may he inde-
pendent of any circumstances conneSed mitt; the
dispute with Spa;n, and therefore it would he mere
coojeCture, should we attempt to .itaw any inferences
from it unfric,idly to the success of the supposed ne-
guciatinn. The knineledge of that faEt, nowever,
combined with the probability of the immediate in-
terruption of the communication with Holland, dif-
fused a general gloom over the mercantile interest
yesterday, and occasioned a slight depression of the
funds.

A melancholy catastrophe occurred on Thursday
en board Ole 13.!.'crupboa, in the dock-yard at Ports-
mouth.--Several caulkers and ship-wrights being
employed in the magazine m flints some necessary
repairs, a spark dropped from one of the candles,
on a large quantity of loose powder, left in the ma-
gazine unperceived, when the ship was cleared, by
which neglea five men were dreadfully mutilated,
two of whom are not expeaed to survive.

A •apnuring letter of Sr. FAUX, Commodore
of the Brtavian squadron off Bergen. appeared
lately in the Much Journals. We cannot give a
better refutation of it than the following

Extra.* of a Limy fie, n an Officer of Hi. Majesty's ship La
Chtifonne, fi. , in Edin'iurgh, dat,xl Bergen, 26th
July, 1104.
Ia my last, which I was forced to conclude so
abruptly, I informed you of part of our proceed-
ings. On Sunday, loth of Jure, we left the Eiha-
bon, watching the corvette at anchor, at the distance
of three miles from her, and we sailed to cruise, at
sea to intercept her, in case she should escape the
Ethaben. Oa the Tuesday atter, ST. Faux, a
Frenchman who commands her, and styles himself
Cameral. seat a flag of truce to the Ethnlioh (pre-
tending to believe she was the Chilroner, though he
well knew she had sailed), with a challenge to
Captain ADAM, offering to go to sea and engage
us, if Captain A. would give his honour no other
ship should assist us ; at the same time upbraiding
Captain A. of breaking the neutrality, by chasing
him so closely ; adding. if his force had been equal,
he never would have pat him to that trouble.—
Captain ST (was r returned a verbal message, that
we were at sea waiting for him, and if he sailed,
could not miss us; adding, that the Eihalion was of
the same rate as the Ckdlflone, and he was wry
much at his service; this Alan:~ Le General
thought proper to decline.
" To convince you the fellow had no intention
of fighting, I shall only say, that when we arrived
at Bergen, we found there two large Dutch cor-
vettes ; we anchored within hail of them, and re-
mained there nearly two weeks, during which time
Sr. FAUX never dreamed of challenging us; and
when one of the corvettes sailed, was well aware
we could not sail after her until twenty-four hours
had elapsed, without breaking the neutrality. As
soon as that time had elapsed, we sailed from Ber-
gen to take a station to intercept the remaining one.
our Consul at Bergen giving us due intelligence.
Sr. FAUX at last, finding a fair opportunity, as he
thought, sailed ; and as soon as we received
intelli-
gence of it, which was its three hours, we immedi-
ately set off in pursuit of him, and got so near him,
that he was obliged to go within the rocks. The
limits of the neutrality are. I believe, a mile with-
out them. For three weeks he tried to elude our
vigilance without riled, and at last was so alarmed
by our constant pursuit of him, that he landed
sortie of his guns to form a battery, giving out for
Isis reason, that he repealed we would attack him.
" For this gross violation of the neutrality, he
was severely reprimanded by the Governor of Ber-
gen, Monsieur ISELsesu, who instantly ordered his
guns on board ; and added, that his condud formed
a striking contr.sst to that of the British Captain's.
A Danish corporal and two soldiers were sent on
board to report if M. Sr. Faux should think pro-
per to ad again so improperly; yet this same paper-
fightiug hero, after presuming to challenge us,
without ever intending it, left his corvette in a
harbour about forty miles from Bergen, stripped of
her rigging, under the charge of a Lieutenant and
twenty men, acrd is nre travelling over land to
Ilulland. Ile may certainly think himself fortunate
it he arrives there, as Mr. GREW, the British
Consul, informed me yesterday, that the Governor
had sent couriers to arrest him, as he had killed
three or four horses on the road, and refused to pay
Cot them'

Monday the IVentryi;4 tender, under the com-
mand of Lieut. Cox, conveyed near 100 impressed
seamen and volunteers from the Enterprise, off the
Tower, to the More. A large supply of slops, of
every description, were likewise forwarded.
On Saturday se'nnight, a young boy was shot on
the links near Alemouth, by a young sportsman.
He died on Wednesday.
Monday, at Marlborough-street, a young dash•
in g lady's maid was charged with assaulting a /,arc
lady's man. The prosecutor is left in cat eof a
family house, in Wimpole-street, which the De-
fendant of coarse resorted to, she being sent to towii
to transaft business fir her mistress. The young
lady conceived that she had not been cordially re-
ceived by the footman, and vented her rage by
breaking the dishes, while at dinner on Sunday,
and beating a boiled ham about the head of her late
enamored.. She was ordered to find bail.

Saturday evening, a Coroner's Inquest sat at the
Barley Mow public house, Mount-street, on the
body of a genteel dressed young female, who was
found drowned in the Serpentine River. The keep-
ers of the park observed her soon after day-light, on
Saturday morning, walking to and fro on the gravel
walk, at ti,e water's edge, and reading a book at
intervals. No information could be obtained who
she was ; but a letter was found in her pocket, signed
