* 'A
nnou ncing the Capture of the Guertier French Frigate.

OUR Readers will do us the justice to recolle& that
we stated some time ago our firm opinion that Ad-

mi'ral VILLIAMEZ would endeavour to get into Mar-
tinique,in 4pusition to the reports which were'then
circulated, of his having, destroyed the whole of our
Settlements in Newfoundland. Although it' appears
from ,the statement transmitted from the Admiralty
to the LORD MAYOR, that the British ForCe in the
West Indies, was ;not equal in point of numbers to
the:Trench Squadron in Martinique, which con-

sists'of Seven Saircf the Line, viz. Six under the
command of. Admiral VILLIAMEZ, ,and the. Ate-
, gusus, which arrived there some time beiorb, yet we
entertain no app,reliension that they will be able to
do any injury either to our Possessions or to our
trade in that quarter. Vii.z.ikmz's Squadron sailed
from J3rest in December last, and arrived at Mar-

tinique on, the 24th June ; and during the whole of

the interval he has been cruizing, except during the
short time he reluicined at St. Salvador, so that
'wither his Vessels nor his crews, could, for some

tine, be in a condition to attempt any new en-

terprize 3- n,or do we believe that, even if they
were in a condition to. put tw ka, they would
venture to do it in the face of four British Sail
of the Line, which Admiral COCHRANE hdd un-
der his cpriunand. But, we have also the satis-

faaion of knowipg,,frorp the. Mmlrakty
that Admiral 'Sir J0)1' N IiVARUENA wbo sailed
from Spithod on the -4th of June; with,

Sail of the Line,
,had orders to proceed iirmediately.,
and without deviation, to Barbadoes. 'The iallant
Admiral was ofF Madeira' on the loth of June, , and
in all probability would reach Bal.badoes in little
more than three weeks from that time.' 'We have
'therefore, np doubt that the French Squadron -is at
present' closely blocked up at Martinique, for we
can hardly indulge-a hope that they would • Venture
to sea and give the British Force 'an opportunity of
meeting then:).
' feel'great pleasure in being able to-announce
to our Readers the capture of the' French Frigate La
Guerriere, of 50 guns,
,by the Blanche, of 38 gnus,
Capt., LAvIE, after an aetion of forty-five minutes,
in which La Guerriere had 20 men'killed and 30
wounded. There were none killed on board' the
BlaNche) and only, a.Lieutetiant and three Marines
wounded. La Guerriere was one of the French
Frigates which haS lately' captured some of our Ships
employed in the Gieenland Fishery. The 'Thames
and the Phogbe Frigates 'sailed for 'the Green-
land Seas several days before the Blunclie left Yar-
mouth ; there is, therefore every reason to hope
that the other French Frigates will share the fate of
•
their consort.

The Guerriere was on the 12th inst. in ]at. 67. N.
long. 8. and intended,' going into Droptheim ; but
having received some intelligence from a Pilot-boat,
she stood out:to sea again : she had 140 prisoners on
board, the crews of the following Ships, which she
had captured and burnt, viz. the Simms, of Leith ;
Dingwall, of London '; William, of Greenock ; and
Boyne, of ,Yarmouth.
The following is the official account of this Capture
transmitted from the Admiralty to the Lost MAYOR
" The Guerriere French Frigate,.of 50 guns and
311 men, Was captured on the 19th inst. in lat. 46.
North, off Ferro Islands, by His Majesty's Ship
Blanche, after an a&ion of 45 minutes, and arrived
at Yarmouth on Saturday. The Gueteiere had ..20
men Vied and 20-'wounded; the Blanche had one
Lieutenant and three Marines Wounded."

TIE Thalia Frigate, from Bengal, is arrived off
Portland : she sailed on the 21st March.

This morning the Gentlemen who intended to bid
for-the Lottery waited upon Lord GitIiVILLE, at his
house in Downing-street. The Bidding was only for
one Lottery, and the terms offeredby the different par-
ties being the same, viz. 161. 12s. per Ticket, they all
joined and took it among them. The Lottery is to
cou.,;st of 20, 000 Tickets, and to commence draw-
ing on the 13th Weber, and to finish; on the 15th
at November.

IT has been confidently said, that the Messenger
whO arrived from France, on Friday last, brought
Copy of the Treaty concluded between Russia and
that. Country. We do not give entire credit
to this repOrt, and though, as .we - have before
obserted, we should nat be surprised that a sepa-
rate Peace had taken place, yet we depend much on
the high chara&er land noble sentiments of the
EMPEROR of Russia, and are persuaded that if he
should be induced to adopt such a measure, it will
be upon such terms as will not be injurious to the
interets of this Country.
