Extra& of a Letter from Captain ALEXANDER
M'FARLANE, of the Ship Thetis, of GlasgoW, to his
Friend, in Port Glasgow, datvid Antigua, July 25 :
" I am sorry to inform you of the capture of the
Ship Thetis, which was on the sth_rof In the
Morning I was up at the-mast-head looking out for
the land; at the same time,l saw a Schooner ahead
of us standing to the Northward, and immediately
called all hands to quarters ; and the Schooner stood
to the Northward till we passed her. At seven
o'clock in .the Morning she hove about, and stood
after us ; we still carried on as much sail as possible
to get clear of her. At a quarter before noon she
commenced firing at us, which we returned dire:
ly. For one hour she lay upon our quarter, within
pistol shot, .and' we very seldom .could get our
broadside to bear upon her, nor could we get any
guns on our quarter-deck, on account of the round-
house. We bad one killed and three wounded ;
two of them I did not expe6t would live. The Ship
was a perfe& wreck before we struck. They were
three hdurs before they could get any sail set They,
the Ship, the rigging and' sails being shot to pieces.
All on board did their utmost to save the Ship. At
one o'clock, afternoon, we were obliged to strike, on
account of all our guns being unfit for use, except
the two 6-pounders. The Privateer. proved to be
the La Freepoude, mounting four 18-pound carron-
ades and one long 18-pourider. She had on board
93 men, eight of whom were killed, and three se-
verely wounded. The passengers and I got our pass
to come to this Island. At the time we were cap-
tured, the Island of Antigua bore W. by S. distant
about 12 miles." .

PRWATE CORRESPJATDENC2',.

BREMEN, SEPT. 8, 1806.

HOWEVER mysterious BoNAPARTE'S intended Platt

of operations eigainst Prussia may appear to some peo-
ple who are unacquainted with his former conduct,
yet it obtains general belief here upon the Continent,
and existing circumstances certainly sanCtion the
presumption, that his proposed journey to Frankfort
is only a political cloak to mantle his future military
plans, and that instead of visiting a city where his
duplicity and breach of .prornisehave rendered him.
odious, he aCtually intends once more to put himself at
the head of his Troops, and to endeavour to strike a'
decisive blow, in the North of Germany 'before any
Russian support can arrive. He artfully carries ou
a system of negotiation with Russia-and Prussb, and
to give a kind of sincerity to his views, has re-called
his Armies from Benthein and the Frontiers of Sax-
ony yet is still pouring Troops into Germany, and
forcing the Bavarians to commit such bare-faced de-
predations upon. some Prussian villages in their
neighbourhood as must ultimately force the Cabinet
of Berlin to adopt .hostile measures. Letters from
Erlangen positively assert, that 200 Bavarian Troops
forcibly entered Iptiofen, and carried off the public
Money and archives of the place—even made de-*
minds upon individual inhabitants, which the Offi-
cers commanding the detachment did not, or would
not, take_notice of—and also committed many other
wanton acts of most disgraceful levity. Several other
/Prussian villages have been served in the same man-
nen—An Estafette arrived here yesterday evening
from Stettin, who brought the.news that the Mer-
chants there had received a hint from HAUGWLTZ
himself, stating, that " some lively discusions were
going on betwixt his Prussian Majesty and the Em-
peror of France, and that it might be advisable for the
Mercantile interest to be cautious of their proceed-

ings.

I hope next post will throw more certain light
upon the present dark proceedings.
