Last night, some of our pilots, ss ho have carried
vessels into the Texel, and have been detained there
several months in consequence, arrived safe ; a
demand had several tunes been made of them be-
fore they were given up. They report, that a ship,
rated as a tif., but which carries MO guns, and a hi-
gate, are fitting out there, and by this time ready
for sea : these two vessels are said to be bound to
Batavia. The news of a riflery obtained by the
French over the Russians had reached the Texel
before the pilots came away ; but, contrary to the
usual custom on such ocuilons, no rejoicings had
taken place, nor have we heard any thing of the
kind from the French coast ; a circumstance which
has frequently given us the first intimation of many
of their successes.
