PORTSMOUTH, MARCH IS.

ARRIVED His Majestp's Ship Dryad, front
Ireland, with the Danish Frigate that she lately.
captured ; also La Loire and ARive Frigates,
from a Cruize.

Arrived a French Corvette, taken by La Loire.
We hear by the Constance Frigate, from the
Mediterranean, that the Mixergie had taken
Danish Frigate, and carried her to Minorca; and
that a Danish Sloop of War was detained there.
Admiral Sir Roa ELT CALDER passed the Gist
of Gibraltar the 4thvinst.

Master, captured by the Ajax Privateer, having
appeared' in out Paper of the gth inst, the Com.
missioners for the examination of Prisoners at
Guernsey, justly indignant at seeing their cha,
ratters aspersed, have authorized us to say, that
so far from having been parties to the transatlions
alluded to, no Proceedings whatever, concerning
the said Ship, have diretly, or indirealy, taken
place before them, or any of them.—The Aim"
does not even belong to Guernsey, nor is she
commanded by a Guernsey Man, nor has any In.
habitant of that Island any interest therein. It
h true, the
..7onge Vro'w Ifilhel mina put into
the Road of Guernsey, after capture, in her war
to another Port, which has probably given mot
to the ails-statement.

DREADFUL EXPLOSION AT trivllßNXss•
Wa haie the following Communication from a
Friend at Inverness :
"This day ( Thursday the 12th) at noon, 1n...
verness exhibited the most awful scene that it is
possible to conceive, in consequence of the ex..
plosion of several barrels of gunpowder, belong.,
ing to Messrs. MgINTOSH, INGLIS, and Wu...
SON, which had" been lodged in a.- cellar in a
Line in the centre of the town ; so that the
destruction and devastation is universal. Not a
house has escaped its effens in a greater or lesser
degree. The houses immediately adjoining have
been razed to the foundation ; others are un.
roofed, and the walls driven in, and the windows'
of handreds shattered into a thousand pieces.
"'But, alas ! this melancholy event is renderred
still more shocking, by the lamentable fate of
Miss FRASER, Finellan, and Miss WILLEr
FRASER, one of her sisters. The latter was in..
stantaneously killed in passing the lane, anti MISS .
FRASER is since dead. Three women, and two
children, were buried in the ruins. The materials
of the house having been blown to an immense
height in every direction, fell with dreadful vio-
lence, and wounded a great many people, but few
dangerously. The roots-of houses at a considerable
distance have also been greatly damaged. The
Hunt House is much injured ; one of the wings
so much shattered that it is about to be taken
down. The shock was felt for many miles, and
afforded too perfect an idea of an earthquake, with
its direst eireas." •
