EXtflti Of 2 Letter from Vice-Admiral CAMPRSLL to Joxu•
BARROW, E. 412 Admiralty-Office. Dated on board His
Majesty's Ship Trusty, in the Downs, 3d May, 18oS :

" I have received jour letter, of yesterday's date,
inclor‘ing the copy of a. letter from Mr. L. BENNE•I7,
jun. Secretary to the Committee at. LLOYD'S, dated
the 30th of .April, stating that • the Aepiale :was cut.
out of Dover Roads, by a *fetich Privateer, and
carried into Dunkirk ; and, in a postscript to the
same letter, that the Favourite was captured off
Dungeness, and carried into Dieppe, the tekti ult.
Neither of which captures can I ppssibly. con-
tradia after their assertion. But with respell' to
their statement from Lloyd's Dover Correspondent/-
that Privateers are constantly in. sight of that port, I
can positively contradict; conceiving. that Dover
Correspondents are much more likely tocrr than the
Officers of our signal-posts; for on Slturday last the
signal-posts of East Hill, Coruhill, and Folkstone,
had' the signal' flying for an Enemy' cruizing
the south-west, when there were at that time
no less than five Cruiiera in that quartet;' viz.
the Clyde, Commodore OWEN, Slij, Abundance,
Folkstone, and Triumpus. The Vessels their Lord-
ships have done me the honour to put tinder my or-
ders have been distributed, for the prOteetion of the-
trade ; two thirds of which are stationed to the west-'
ward of the South •Foreland" and Grpe4nes, under
the command of Commodore 01,VEN, whose judi-
cious arrangements throughout merits my appro-
bation."

STOCK EiOLII, APRIL. Royall9.—His art;HETYII39
received • the following Report from Rear-Admiral
Baron CEPERSTROU, dated April 9 :
” On the Vith of March we got the' Squadron
ready -for seat and on the i.l9th we completed ..the
shipment of our supply of water. Early in the mow-
ing the Ships Drishg-het and Al'et set sail, and at
three eclat& in the afternoon the. whole remaining
part of the Squadron weighed .anchor to put to sea,
but, in consequence of a calm, 1 was induced to put
Pack to the Road, and dropped •anchor :between the
forts. On the 30th, in the morning, the wind came
round to N. W. when the Squadron put to, sea, and
stood for Bornholm. On the 13t of April the Squa-
dron eanie to an anchor near Hammershus, in Born-
holm. On 'the 2d, in the morning, we setisail.from
Bornholm, but the'Ships were scarce under weigh,
when a storm came on from N. E. which obliged us
to stand to the.northward; On the 3d, the Squar
droll was in sight of Rugen, and fell in with; in the
morning,. the Frigates Chain-Imm and jarranms, and
the Brig Dolphin. The wind was westerly, blowing
a stitf top-gallant-sail gale, with thick weather, and
a heavy fall of snow. The Frigates could not enter
Kiel Roads, and were therefore ordered by signal to
join .the Squadron which was eruizing between the
German and the Swedish coast. On the 4th, we
again made the laud of Bornholm, and descried twb
• Sloops, one 'to the windward, and the other on our
lee. . The Frigates were ordered to chase, and , the
JarrOefo came soon up with that to.leeWard,,which
proved to he'a Danish Vessel, mid was sleet for the
nearest SWedish port. From Lieutenant Colonel
AMEKN, Commander of the Frigate Chainaaan, I
have received a report that he had taken-a Prussian
Vessel, and sent her to Ystad. Op the sth,, in the
morning, we made the island of Moen, and saw
the Dristighet add Ara, which joined the Squadron.
It blev: hard from the West, and the Squadron On-
tinned to beat aboutin sight c 4 Bornhohn. On the
7th the gale abated, and the Squadron cruized be-.
tween ',Veen and the Swedish coast.

On Sunday no inquest was held at Nottingham,
on the body of David Handley, frame..work-knitter,
in Poplar-place, who had been drinking on the pre-
ceding Tuesday, at the Ball public-house; and was
there seized with a viblent illness, of which he lan-
guished until the 23d inst. and then expired. The
deceased was possessed with the belief, through the
whole of his sufferings, that French Flies had been
pout into his ale by some of the company at the pnb-
lic-huuse. His body was opened; and it appeared
In evidence, that the stomach and bowels were in
such a state of inflammation as to have caused his
death, and to have been ocmioned by the deceased
having swallowed some highly stimulating acrid sub-
stance. Atier a very long investigation, the Jury
found a verditi of Manslaughter against some persen
ot persons unknown
