LONDON,

MONDAY, MAY 5, 'lBO6.

IT is with 'the most sincere satisfaaiori that we
announce to our. Readers the capture of the Marengo,
Rear-Admiral f.ZNois, and.the Belle' Poule Frigate,
by a part of the Squadron under the command of.
Sir JOHN BORLAS, WARREN.—Admiral.
after a Civ.ize t three years, during which time
he 'made many ,very valuable captures; and had .
some fortunate escapes, was returning to Europe when
. . .
be fell in, on the 13th March last, with the Squadron •
under the command of Sir J. B. WAtitai.N., off the Cape
Verd. Islands., The London and .the zfinazon,
being the I,ve,athermost Ships, were ordered to
c .ace. The signal w-as obeyed. with promPtitude,
and after a, ruining fight of some hours, the Ma-
; enoo" and the Belle POule struck their &lours.—
Ad.niral I..ANots made a more determined resistance
than might have been expeEted from his con-
dust upon former occasions. His charader for
courage - was much tarnished by his .hehatiour
after the Lngagement at Algesiras ; for it, can-
not be forgotten, that upon that occasion, though
r,onarnanchng a Squadron greatly superior to that of
Sir JAMES SAUgARE, he got on board a Frigate and.
wade. the best of his way into Cadiz, covered with
leaving his' Fleet to make the best defence it
Hissubsequent engagements with the home-
ward-bound Indilnaen, and with the Centurion, did
not tend much to restore his reputation. In this last
naton, however, he displayed more. courage, and
fought with great gallantry. It is, however,: not
i,nprobable that his obstinate resistance Was in a great
degree occasioned by his unwillingness to lose the
fraitl of his-sucCeisful. Cruize in the Indian. Seas,
rthe-greater-part of which were on board the 411aL
rengo. After the mtion Sir J. B. WARItEDIt in
rrith his Prizes to 'St. Jago, one of the Cape de
Verd Island's ; and, having refitted, sailed again

en his destination.
The Dispatches were sent home in the John Bull
Cater, which arrived at Plymouth on Saturday.
Th:,. following Note was sent yesterday afternoon
from the Admiralty to the Loi) MAYOR :
"1 Athniraity. Office, /Mt" 4.

count of the, Capture of the Marengo, of 8o guns, and 740

The Prince of Peace, 0113 guns, out, six days
from Spain, has been captured by La Lbire Frigate,
and carried into Coil:.

THIS morning a Go tie;:bzugh Mail arrived. A
Letter from Stockholm states, that Gleral KALK.;-
'REUTII has received orders to advance into Swedish
Pomerania-; but the same. Letter adds, that it is .
probable the difierences between the Courts of
Berlin and Stockholm will be. adjusted. .If the
Prussians
,should invade Swedish Pomerania, a
War between RusSia and Prussia will be almost
inevitable, _because the Emperor ALEXANDER is
bound by Treaty, as well as by interest, to protect,
Sweden. We are -strongly \inclined to believe that'
the King of Prussia will, for the present, rest 'satisfied
with, the acquisition of Laueuburgb, and that he will
not, by an unprovoked attack upon Sweden, force-
Russia into aEtive hostility against him.

Yesterday wa received Paris. and Dutch l'apers,
the former to the /6th, -the latter to the 30th ult. ;
and this morning we received the Leyden Paper of:
the 2clinst. They do not contain any positiVeinfor-
mation respecting the Evacuation of Cataro by the
Russians. If such an important event had taken
place, it would, in ali probability, have been. men-
tioned in. the Paris Papers.; but they are silent upon
the subje&. The Leyden Paper contains Paris Intelli-
gence to .the 27th, but not one word respeaing the
Evacuation of Cataro.

The KIt;TC; of PRUSSIA has appointed M. KELLER
his third Cabinet Minister; and,the reason assigned
for. this
,appointment is,. that' tho Russian 'Minister,
M. D'ALorEus,. refused to -transit& business with
Count H.A.O GNV IT Z. •

THE High Court of Parliament assembled at its
usual time this morning, in Westminster'
.There was a very large attendance of speEtators,
arising, it is supposed, from a general rumour that
:Mr. TROTTER was to be exaniined this day.—
The Managers proceeded in the. important duty
entrusted tO them, and were chiefly engaged in re-
suming the examination of Messrs. DRUMMONDS'
Clerks.

On Friday last *the Bidding took place in Dublin
for the Irish Loan, for the service of the present

year.

their orfer was accepted.

had been imposed by the British Government on all
Prussian Vessel's ; at the same_ time stating that his

quiring passports for himself and the Members of

and others of the _Minister's Suite, left Berlin; but
to proposed to remain as a private charaEter till the

The Gazette of South Prussia, published at Koeu-'

'nfent, that, the best understanding continues to
prevail' bet Ween the Russian and. Prussian Ca-
binets, and that there ,did not. exist. the, .slightest
probability,bf its being interrupted.. It adds, that

Yesterday at noon, Barbadoes bearing South 72

seen to Windward, steering large. We soon disco-
Nered one of them to be HiS Majesty's. Ship Heu-
reux, in chace of an Enemy's Schooner. Being to
Leeward, I was happy in haying it in my power to
assist the Hedreux, by preventing the Chace getting
before the wind, though she endeavoured to cross
.us. The 'Agamemnon gained ,very, fast on her to
Leeward, as did the Heureux to Windward. Both
Ships got alongside of her .at ,half past seven P. M.
when the Heureux took possession. She proves to
be the Dame Ernouf, of sixteen long sixes (thrown
overboard in the Chace); and one twelve-pounder,
with a complement of one hundred and fifteen men ;
had been coif fourteen days from Guadaloupe, with-
out making any capture. , .
