A letter was received on Tuesdr y from Capt. DO R-
stmt, of the He►oine, one of the convoy, slated Ma-
laga, February 10, in which he states, that he had
been captured by the Hortense French frigate, after
a duce of two hours and an half; and that after
the clew were taken out, the enemy sunk the ship,
and landed him and his men, together with those
of the Acheron bomb, at Malaga. Captain DOR-
N' ea adds, that this was the only merchant ship
captured by the Hortense. The Incorruptible, the
other French frigate, captured two of the vessels,
which she also destroyed, and has landed the pri-
soners at Carthageria. Captain FA !NI:HAIL. who
commanded the Acheron, has written to Sir It.
STRACRAIII, that he bas been carried into Malaga
by the Hortemo, which is now blocked up in t'lat
port by His MAJt4T Y'S frigate Fitgcrd. The
slcherow had four men killed and eight wounded
in the aetien.

We have teen a letter of the 19th of February,
from the Captain of the Lady Anxc (one of the
MAIA convoy), to his owners, which is extremely
interesting:

On the 4th day of February, two large French frigates
came into the fleet. The Commodore made a signal for all the
ships to disiersc in the best manner they were able, but being
newly calm all that night, they could not make .uoy way. The
next inurotiog, about five o'clock, an engagement cunt onerictd
between the two frigates and the Arrow and the bomb, which
lasted about half an hour. At day light the action was re-
newed, which continued a►snot one hour and a half, and a con
stud tiring was kept up on both sides. The Aooow, which was
to leewerd, being at length di-iblosl, was captured; the other
co-itionied in chace of tire bomb, and a running light was kept
up fur some time. MI VIII rein:: the Captain dot not perceive
any of the merchant ships captured. Nineteen stretched
to the northward, in company with the Lady Anne, all of
which were likely to eoteapoe; the rest of the fleet were getting
away in event direaton. The Lady Anne lost sight of the fu-
g des It off past twelve o'clock. Tote next day she saw two
ships on fire to the leeward, and observed one blow up, Thu
vessel then made the brit of her way to Gibraltio, which
site reached, after basin experienced come sexy heavy 'aka of
wind.

We shall conclude our account with giving the
following extras of a letter from an Officer at
Carthagena, dated the 19th of February, who was
on board the Arrow sloop, when taken by the French
frigates :
We are now on our parole—show long we shall he here, 01

" it is with great pleasure I inform you the fever
which has made such dreadful ravages is totally
ceased, the garrison was declared free from fever,
and clean hills of health given on the 30th ult. The
last general return of deaths amounted to .5,960,
out of which there were 54 Officers. The port be-
ing shut for four mouth. has occasioned a great
scarcity of provisions, but we hope, in a few days,
now a free communication is again opened, the
Moors will send us every thing we are in need of.
We have 114,i the most violent gales of wind and
torrents of iani for these last two months past, I
believe ever known; near fifty vessels have been lost
in the Bay; and the Beach, from the town' o the
south, is completely covered with wrecks; the Lia-
mage done is computed at about a million and a
halt ; however, to make up for all these disasters,
it is astonishing the number of prim' that are taken
by the ships on this station; they are all making
their fortunes.

" The Spaniards at present continue quiet within
their own lines, but the Governor seems to expel
an alma, as he is encreasing the guards, and keep-
ing the gatrisoe continually on the alert. They
are collecting a great number of gun-boats in
Algesuas.
" We are in hourly evedation of a convoy from
Malta ; the wind is now easterly, and it is expeded
they will arrive either to-day or tomorrow.
" Gibraltar has not been healthier for many
years than it is at this time."
