EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM PORTSMOUTH, DATED
AUGUST 27.

" The French Line-of-Battle Ship which, fell
in with the Champion and Quebec convoy, was
the. Veteran, of 74 guns, 'commanded by JEROME
-BONAPARTE, who has, before this, I .fear, ar-
rived in France. The Captains
,of six of the Ships,
which- are all that were taken, arrived here this
morning; they report,
.that, a little, to the North-
ward of the Western Islands, on the i6th.instant;
the Ships they commanded Were taken and burnt
by' the Veteran, Captain JEROME BONAPARTE, who
left his Squadron in the Gulph of Florida, and was
making his passage to France aldne, to be made a
King! ! JERONE ordered the ships to be destroyed,,
after the persons who went to execute that service
had supplied themselves with a few necessaries.
The Veteran was in very bad condition, and the
crew shewed much diSpoSition to mutiny ; their
Officers looked upon them with great jealousy, ,and
the fellows who were sent to burn the Lydia, offer-
ed to run away with the Ship, they were so dissatis-
fied. Their mutinous spirit made the French Offi-
cers behave very civily to the Prisoners, whom they
.seemed to look to for support in- the event of any
disturbance._.....TEßPME BONAPARTE is reported .to be
a gentlemanly-behaved man, but of a meagre ap-
pearance, and wears .a great many ornaments ; the
Captains of the Merchantmen represented to him
the great difference there was in the qOality of the
provisions they were supplied with, to what they
had•been 'accustomed tb, and .the uncomfortableness
of-their situation, in, being ordered to Mess. with
'the "com Mon men, on the dirty decks ;. this .was
done through the Second Captain of, the Ship„ and
4nor;fs requested him to wait by a little, and he
would give 4thi an ansW,;,r, oon after which they

Were ordered on board.. an American' Ship, whiCh
landed them here : she was previously supplied with
la track to steer by, to•avoid giving information to our
cruizeKi, 'and she unfortunately did not see one of.
JERomit 'c eyed the apprentices to be liberated with
tthe7Captains, and the seamen 'only to be detained,
'of .whichlhdre were I.2o.on.board, taken in different
'BONAPARTE'S Birth-day . was celebrated
whilst they were on board, to Which• JEROME
invited ..the English Prisoners, anc gave them an ex-
tra allowance. From the short distance.JEaoNE was
from .Brest, 200 miles, and the favourableness of the
wind, there is, too much reason. to suppose that he
has got, into some. port. The. Officers of JERomx's
Ship told.the Captains, that it was intended by us to
'take the ..Prince Regent of Portugal to the Braiils,
where a new Kingdom is to be formed,"

cornOny with 158 Sail of Merclyantmen, under con-
voy ,of ffis Majesty's Ships Surveillante, Hercule,

I Oth or. July, being to windward of the:Elavannah,
'they fell in with a Spanish Fleet of 26 Sail- of Yes-
.sels, laden .with sugar, under convoy of a line-pf-
battle Ship-and two Gun-brigs, all of Which were
destroyed by the British Ships of War,. assisted by
the Merchantinen; except the iine-of-battle Ship,
which escaped. by getting under the-Moro. Caitle,"
at the entrance of the 'Havannab. Most DI the
Spanish crews escaped by swimming ashore... Some
sugar, •and. a valuable cargo of qUicksilVer' were
taken out before the Ships were destroyed. We are
Sorry tq learn, that one of the Fleet,.. the Will, of
