General of the fleet, and Lieut.-Colonel Brant,
tame immediately on board. Soon after His Royal
Majesty proceeuded to the flotilla of galleys, in
order to inspect its position. His Royal Majesty
his received the following report front Field-Mar-
shal Count lilingspor, dated the teth instant:—
Agreeably to the plan which I had formed for
the retreat of the army, Visa was evacuated, after
all the provisions, magazines, and Sick, had been
previously removed ; the troops halted at Lillkyro,
from *bow* the army marched, the 12th, to Worn,
and the 1311,, to Graving, where Major-General
Baron Adlerereutz, took np the most advantageous
position which lw could obtain.
" In order to rciaforee the troops oho arrived at
New Carleby, from Hamm, two Battalions of the
regiment of Iljorneherg, and Captain Gylenhajill's
detachments, were sent thither. Colctwl 1/obeln,
although still indireaned, pat himself at the head of
these troops, defeated the enemy near nodal', and
prevented him from executing his design to carry
.New Carleby ; in consequence of this advantage
gained of er enemy, our troops attacked the
euemy on different points, drove him from 01,1
Carlehy, anti forced him to fall back to [Amer
Wetil, whither Major-General (iripenberg received
orders to porsJe him, and take post there, to cover
the flank of' or.: army.
"On the 14th inst. early in the morning', the ar-
my nits attacked in the posit;on of Ora% mit. Four

such considerable reinforcements, that our troops,
after fourteen ors fighting, were obliged to re-
treat.
This rut ro.,:ra,fe movement to Nemo Carleby,

who, probably, had sustained a Ve.y'erinsideratile

JAMAICA PAVERS.

KINGSTON, AUG. G.

It is with 'such regret that we state the loss of
His Majesty's ship Me/eager, of 36 guns, Capt.
War, en. She quitted Port-Royal on biaturday
afternoon last, to join the homeward-bound fleet
(being appointed convoy to a certain latitude), and
continued her course until eight o'clock that night,
when the weather becoming extremely dark and
%oldly, she struck on Bare-Bush-Key, and her
masts almo►t immediately after went by the board,
from the violence of the shock. Every endeavour
sits made to extricate her from this perilous situa-
thou, but without avail, and in a very short time
after she was completely bilged. The Maros gun-
brig, of la guns, Capt. .I'Court, and the Govern-
ment brig Princess Charlotte, Capt. Fulfted, with
a schooner, proceeded from Port-Royal as soon as
intelligence was received of the accident, and the
two latter returned on Monday with the„ollicers
and crew, with the exception of Capt. Warren, who
remained by the wreck, and three men that were
unfortunately drowned. A considerable quantity
of specie, which she was tarrying to be put on
board the Hr,aer brig, for England, was *axed, the
greater part of which bus been brought back, and
the rest sent on board the Diamond frigate.
By a schooner, which arrived on Tuesday in
three days from La Gain', we learn that the French
Imperial brig, captured by the fleasta frigate, was
named Le Serpent, and that she sailed on the 25th
ult. for Barbadoen, under the charge of the First
Lieutenant of the frigate. The Acosta remained
off the port in hopes of intercepting another French
vessel of war, which was momently expected to ar-
rive there. Le Set pent had touched previously at
.Martinique, having had dispatches on board for the
Commander of that Island. Soon after the arrival of
the "lensed at La Guira, all the French there were
declared prisoners of war, but not put into conflate-
went; they were not, however, permitted to go to
any considerable distance from their places of real-
&nee. A small French brig, laden with merchan-
dise, from Giiadaloupe, was immediately on her
arrival at La Cairn, a few days before the sailing
of the vessel that brought these accounts, taken
possession of by the Governor, the crew sent on
shore, and the merchandise sequestered. The
Lark *loop of war, Captain Nicholas, hail also ar-
rived at La Guira front Curzon,
