CAT..eiTTTA, DEC. 4, 186,-.,—We are sorry to state
that Capt. HATG of the 3 M Melville, arrived in
town late la,t with -1 fie 'disagreeable intelli-
gence of the capture of that Ship, by the Bellona
Privateer, on the 14th ultimo, only, fOVr:days after
leaving the Pilot. The Bellona, it appears, has
been cruizing in the Bay for'sorne tittue 'past ; bdt
it does- not seem -that her '"success, as yeti. his been
great.
Capt. 'lmo arrived in the Prine of Wales, Capt.
`Vass, which Vessel had beet, also -captured about
12 days ago; but being in ballast, and net deemed
sufficient value to be. sent to the Isle of Frande, she
ix"es given up as a conveyance, to the PfiSonerS. A
Tender, belonging to His Majesty's Ship Culloden,
with 'Dispatches tbr Penang, was the only other
prize she had made : she, of course, would be of
little value, as we hope the DispatChes have been
destroyed. It is said, that the. Priike of Wales,
'although in ballast, had on board a quantitysof gold
dust, to the amount of 25,000 Sicca rupees, which
.fortumitelY has been saved, by being secreted among
'the ballast.

capt.-1-4,10, Spezik?; :highly in 'favour of Capt. 13E
/MUD and his Officers, 'fig thegreat attention they
received while 'bit board the Bellona indeed, it is,
said, that, in order to accommodate them, the Offi-
•Cers had. given them their:Own cabins, and otherwise
Were-very attentive and solicitous to make their cap-
fve state c4infortable. We are happy. to Under-
standthat the basher, With her valuable convoy, had
not left &mgor 'When Capt. Amu; arrived, who, of
course, would give them -the necessary information..
Capt. PE ROTth, it appearA,is a Member of the Legion
Of Honour,.a trink of distiutlion he received for his
gallant conduit 'taking the Lord Nelson Indiaman,
in the En:_s.,lish 'Channel.
141 a ri is, Doc. 18, 1305.—8 y the arrival at the
Presideney. of Capt. WATERS, late of the Ship
Xo-
Lust, we learn the following particulars respeEting
the capture clf three fine and valuable Ships, in the
upper part of the Bay, by Captain SUR CUFF, in the
French Brig 'Privateer 'Caroline, moanting ten 32-
poutider carronnades; and twolong 2-pounders.
Capt. -Suit:cu.-Fr, whilst 'citiiZing off the Island of
Cheduba, between the 15th and 17th Ult. fell in with
and *captured the Ship IYaldegratie, Capt.' MA CNEE-
Lstqcv, from China, bound to Calcutta, and the Ship
commerce (Captain's name not ascertained), from
the West Coast of Sumatra, also bound to Calcutta.
The Commanders Of these Ships were put on board
an American Vessel, bound to Bengal. On the 4th
inst. St/RCUFF fell in with, and captured the Ship_
Robust; Capt. WATERS, from Calcutta,
.after a chace
to the N. W. of 13 hours. He fell in with her the
day after she had left the Pilot, at which time four
other Ships were ins sight, viz. the Coromandel, Tay,
Lady Leith and Eliza. These Ships left Calcutta in
company with the Robust, and owe their escape from
the Enemy to the superior sailing of that Ship, and
the long chace she gave him in consequence. Capt.
WATERS was put on board a Portuguese Vessel, and
landed from her at Pondicherry.

EXTRACT OP A LETTER FROM CAPT. SALTWBLL, OF

THE ADMIRAL GARDNER, TO JOHN WOOLMORE,

E.

Fort St. Georic, Dec. 7, ISos.

" I write overland.to inform you of our safe ar-
rival .here on the 4th inst. We sailed from St. He-
lena on the I•sth of September, with the Lady Cas-
tlereagh, With whom we parted on the .(27th of No-
vember,-in lat. 6,4. N. long.• 93. 25. E.` and on the
following morning, from the .mast-head, saw a Ship
bearing East, •which we judged to be the Lady
Castlereagh and at 5.).0 minutes befbre nine, a. m.
from the deck, saw a Ship steering down .upon.
Us. I cleared Ship-for . action; • and made a private
signal ; but finding she did not answer it, took in all •
my small sails, traced. up the,boarding-netting, and
hove to.
" Thirty-five minutes past nine a.m. being within
p;stol,.shot, site hoisted French colours and fired a,
shot, which we returned with. a broadside, and coo, •
tinned .engaging until 15 min. past It, a. vi. when
she bore up and made.sail to the S. S.W. Her aim
was to disable 'our masts and rigging, which ghe ac-
complished : our lower masts, bowsprit, and main-
top-mast are damaged ;• the main-top-mast 'I have
shifted here : several of the lower slirowds and top-
Mast rigging a good deal cut; in our hull we receiv-
ed, several shot, but not. materially to damage us.
From the report of a Frenchman, on board whom I
shipped at St. Helena, and who formerly belonged
to her, I learn that. she is La Jeune. Adele Privateer,
of 32 guns. What damage she sustained is imuos-
.sible to say, but he kept his Vessel before the wind
until dusk, and the next morning she disappeared.
I received all possible support froth my Officers,
Cadets, and ship's company, whose condu& Was,
cool, steady, and spirited, every one appearing zeal-
ous in the cause. My Chief, Officer was severely
wounded, but no life
_v.as lost. I inclose a list of
the wounded, viz,

LAIV REPORT.

COURT OF KlNG's I,I3ENCII, Mitt 13.

THE KING V. STEPHENS AND AGNEAU.

,
Mr. 'DALLAS moved. to amend the Judgment in
this case. Some' time ago the Defendants, who
htd been Officers in the East India Company's Ser-
vice, , bad been convi4ed of taking a bribe, and es.-
forting, money to the amount of 85,000 rupees, for
which the court sentenced them to two' years im-
prisonitientand to pay a fine equal to the sum they
half sokxt(.yrted.. •1t had been previously agreed,
that 'the fine was to be calculated /at the current
price of the rupee, which was then stated to
,be
abotit f2s. 6d. and the fine, under such calculatiOn,
amounted' to t 0,6251: ; but since that time, it ap-
.l-warlit that the rupee was no more than 2s. .2.bd.
which reduced the fine to 9314. and that sum was
real to be paid. The Court had directed the whole
penalty to go to the Informer; and by 38 Geo.
chip. 52, the East India Company were prevented
low. releas?ng or compounding such judgment. As
The:Company. had no objedion to do it; With the
leave of the Comt, he trustcdtheir Lordships would
erant the Rule.
:•Lord 'ELL4'BOROITGH said, that the Judgment
rnu;t follow the Verdict, and couldnot be alteril;
but, the' Attorney-General,. who had a discretionary'
v)wer, might enter satisfadion upon the Record for,
,t tat sum, by discharging part of the order; upon
botice fOr that purpose.
- The Rule was accordingly drawn up to that effea.

TIIE KING V. 130 SWELL.

This \vas a Aide for a Criminal Information against
the Defend4nt,- for ma ing a false return to a. Man..:
ti;imus,:connnanding him to give up, the books 'be.,
longing to.the -Corporation for Paving and Lighting
the Town of-Gosport, to Mr. Parsons, who had been
eieojd Clerk and Treasurer of iliat CorpuratiNn. . _

Mr. DANIPIF.a came to chew cause against thiS
..tule,•and,contended that a Criminal Information was
'not the footle of-proceeding, but it should be by civil
a loos ihr making,a,. false return.
Mr: GAELEE, on.the.other hand, observed, that
lie Would he satisfied 'with any thing that should pa-
cify the people of G3sport, who were much :interest-
ed in this question. , He proposed that there.sbould
be issues to try the merits of Mr. Parsons's Election,
or that Gentkman should resign .his office, if the
Defendant would tinly do that duty which he refuses
to perform.
Mr. D.k-rvirfEn, not being so instructed, declined,
this, propoitton ; and the Court, considering it a
casein which the interest of the public was much
involve!, made the rule for a Criminal Inforniation
3solute. .
