since. IN stated, yesterday, from the report of
the Swum sloop, one of Sir Joan* B: W•RatteS
squadron, arrived at Portsmouth, that Admiral
Coc Ht an had chased the French squadron through
the Virgin Islands, and left them clear of the %Vest
Indies, stretching with a press of tail to the North-
arard. The report of the dispatches brought by
•he SlllOttn, published by the Admiralty, and in-
serted in ear Paper on Monday, which is more to be
relied upon, is at variance with this report, and states,
that according to the latest autherui: intelligence,
the enemy were last seen, on the 7th, off the Eastein
end of Pogo Rico. It may not. however, be nil.
worthy of remark, that the point in which the lour
strange sail were seen, about the middle of last
month, being a little to the North of tile Bermudas,
is the'point in which we might expe:t to find the
French Squadron at that time, supposing it to hare
been left off Porto Rico on the 7th, steering to the
Northward, upon its return tol,fftqw.
The Telegraph. yesterday, announced, at 12
o'clock. the arrival of the Jamaica ft et in the
Dowas. Tn. Law sloop of war is supposed to have
been taken off i:se tiayanit sh—rahe sailed from

Admiral D stags was at JamlliCa, which he Jtd not
intend to leave, from the camel/24m of a visit from
a French squadron, though no certain accounts had
reached the Island when the convoy sailed, that
Jaarstac Bosuaivs was in the West Indies.

WINDSOR THEATRICALS.

Notwithstanding the loss of so great. and so de-
servedly a favnusite, as Mrs. Powers.. the business
of the Theatre still goes on with undiminished suc-
cess. On Monday. the Tragedy of r nice Presererri
was brought out with new dresses. k:. and went off
with greater applause than any play which has been
performed during the present season. Mss. Moose,
in the part of Be/vie/ere, was truly interesting ; and,
in the fourth and fifth aft. stisplived talents tha:
would really be an acquisition so either of the
Winter Theatres in London. Mr. BROWNE'S Pion
was a most animated and correa piece of acing.
His looks and under-tones, in the last scene, strewed
him to be a complete master of the art ; and his
whole performance made an impression which must
add to the high favour his previous exertions !tad
obtained him Mr. WA LOZGR AVC played ilfers
with great spirit ; and, in many parts; With appro.
ptiate tenderness ; but he was evidently not ton sor-
ra% of the words, which was the only drawback
we had to regret. The other parts were all very
respedlably sustained. and we are certain the play
will be a great favourite. •

On Wednesday last, Sir Jona and Lady New.
roar gave an elegant breakfast and fete chappelip;
at their beautiful seat, near Waterford, to i very,
large party of their neighbours and friends. Fr
_eleven, until two, the roads WWII filled with cat-f
riages. Breakfast was laid in the gallery, the tael
bles were covered with the greatest taste, and or-
namented with the finest flowers. The repast non-
sista of tea, coffee, chocolate, ices, pastry, the
finest fruits, ner was the more solid fare of hams
and chickens forgotten. Every arrangement display-
ed the tam and liberality of the dorms,. Ir the lawn,
between the house and fish-pond, were tents, fur-
nished with a profusion of the finest fruits. and other
refreshments. The parlours were also laid out with
refreshments, except the great one, which was the
ball-room, where the juvenile past of the company
led off the merry dance. The Band of the South
Downshire Regiment attended, and played on the
lawn, which had a very pleasing effeet.
The view of the river and the adjacent seats, is
pi'c'turesque and beautiful. Sir JOHN and Lady
pi'c'turesque
never appeared to score advantage, than
surrounded by their happy relatives and friends ;
the must interesting of whom was the worthy and
venerable Alderman, Sir JOHN'S father, in geed
health and spirits, enjoying the ptesence of a son,
who is an honour to his family and his country.
