POIITSMOUTH, MARCII IG.
This day arrived the Emerald frigme, Captain
O'Brien ; and the Milihrook schooner, Lieutenant
Carpenter, from Lis!,on, from whence they sailed
with a convoy of GO ships, which they parted from
in a gale of wind on the 11th ult. of the Lizard,
under the charge of the Way sloop. The Emerald
was coming home with a convoy from the West In-
dies, when tempestuous weather so much damaged
her, that she was obliged to make for Lisbon : she
was now in great dar.z.:r. The Afill4reak %%IS
'pooped and laid upon her beam ends. There are
three Spanish p:izes with the convoy, two captured
by the Ahdeesivar privascer, and one by the Leona.
also arrived the Safeguard gun-brig from a cruise.
The Honourable Wellesley Pole, of the Oral „ince,
is arrived here to inspea the stowage of 14 large
transports, laden with ordnance, which are come
into the harbour.

under convoy, viz Britannia Earl Sjeneer, Dpiid
Stott, Euphrates. and Lord Melville, Indiamen, from
Madras; William, Juno' and Darien of Portland,

themselves of the opportunity, and sailed at same
time. The Ranger cutter, of 14 guns, Capt. Frazer,
accompanied the Indiamen.

Came in the lieanin, of 40 guns, from 'a cruise ;
she has captured two Spanish ships, one of which

FALMOUTH. MARCH 15.
Arrived the ship Randier, Capt. Smith, from
Smyrna, with fruit, carpet; Ste. 19 days from Gib-
raltar for London, was one of the fleet under con-
voy of the .irrow, and a bomb • when she left Gib-
raltar, the•e were arrived thereof the said fleet, and
waiting :envoy for England, Lade, Ann, Ctpt. Mar.
tin; Speedwell, Findlay; Andromeda, Leveret;
Maieu, —; Pawns, of Liverpool, and two ships
belonging to Guernsey.
The Lkandw, Mallet; and Mary Ann, Peartn,
from Smyrna, were seen from the Rock four days
prior to Capt. Smith's leaving Gibraltar: but, owing
to light and contrary winds, they could not get in.
The Woodland Castle, Captain Llewellyn, bore
away before the wind with all her studding-sails
o•n, and being a very fast sailing vessel, Captain
Smith has no desist of her being safe $ but he fears
near halt the Rest was taken or destroyed : be saw
two brigs set fire to the night after the engage-
anent. The Captain of the .6•rier fought a 44 gun

frigate most gallantly, from lee in the nieniing
hall-past eight o'clock. The bomb fogght the other
for an hour and a half : after the crews eete taken
out, they were burned. The crews of these vessel;,
with twn brigs, bad arrived at Alicant and Cartha.
gena. The aftion was fought on the 4th of Feb.
The Ricky. of 64 guns, convoyed the Ray,
through the Gut. Captain Smith says, that it is
impossible to conceive' itle what bravery the Capt.
of the Armor engaged the frigates for so long a
time ; it was very little wind, or probably all the
merchant vessels would have escaped. Thera was
only one transport in the fleet, and she had no troop;
on board, but several Ladies passengers.
