CALCUTTA, Nov. 13.—Accounts have been re..
eived froth the coast, of the farther successe; ut
.Sunscouyp, in the capture of more of our delencr
less Merchant-ships. Letters from Vitagapatami,
.dated the 31st last, give advice of the capture of ti.e
Ships ,Success and Fortune, both of this Pert, on tl.e
csth alt. the former bound atom Pegue to Bealo,
,with,a.cargo of timber, and the Fortune returning in
ballast from Madras.

SuRCOUFP having plundered these ships, and being
unable to, spare hands to navigate them, in come-
quen of the number of prizes that he had already
Made and dispatched to the French Islands, deter-
Mined to destroy both these latter prizes. He. set
fire to the Success, and she burned to the water's:
edge. • The Fortune ,was scuttled and, sent adrift ;
but having floated in toWards Vizagapatam, she has
been hauled ashore and secured, .and will probably
be refitted with little lox's. The commanders, offi
cers, and crews of the l'ortune and Success, to the
numbei of seventy people, were embarked in the
long-boat of the Fortune. They made the best
of their way for Vilagapatarn, where they lauded' 04
. the 31st last. It is now ascertained, from the date
of thele captures, that the daring adventurer, who
has thus insulted our coasts, •and carried off a num-
ber of our most valuable Ships, has continued very
nearly on the same station, but a few leagues front
the coast, and not more than three hundred melds
from Madras, upwards of thirty, days.
CALCUTTA, Nov, 20.--A letter trom Capt. Frox.-
FORD", commanding at Granjatn, dated the .sth
instant, communicates ititeiligente of the re-c3pntra
of the Brig Experiment.
The Experiment sailed from Rangoon
for C3l-
cotta in August last. In her passage across the
Bay, on the 22d August, slie fell in with, 'and `,vas
captured by, the Simeillunre French Frigate. el P. '
tain CRIPPS was removed on board the Senteiliante,
and a Prize-master, with 4 or .. Frenchmen, wdi
rat on board the Experiment, with orders to make
the best of tbeir way to" the Manritio4. • On the
90th O. the Lascars, headed by the Seraug, teek
a favourable opportunity to attempt to retake this
VeSSel, in which they happily succeeded, and made
thh. Frenchmen condUel: her 'to 'Granjatir, -where,
they9ately.arrived on the 4th current. Several 0'
the captains and Officers of the Leafy-captured.
Slips, who were landed un the coast, have returned
by land to Calcutta. ' .
The South-west Monsoon, which, from the vi°-
fence: that usually attends its ,lireeking up, occa":
aloes considerable alarm tto the shipping au the
Coromandel coast; during the Month of October,
has, in the present season, given •way, 'without any
of the stormy disagreeable weather that generally
j' cwitipanies that change. The North-east Mon:
soon has succeeded without even the appeatgice 0'
1 any threatening weather, and seems 0-now to be
steadily fixed.
The raw. wet weather that prevailed during the
close of last week ha,s proved somewhat iejurious to
the. Bengal crops of rice,. nowuponthe ground: '
