FRIDAY, FELRUARY 7, 1306.

His Majesty's Ship Druid has captured and sent
into Falmouth -the Prince Murat French Privateer,
of 18 guns and 130 men. The Privateer was taken
on the 2d inst. after a chace of eighteen hours., She
sailed from L'Orient in company with another Cor-
vette of 22 guns, and had not made any captures.
No farther intelligence has been received respect-
ing the Squadron seen by Sir RICHARD STRACHAN.
It is still supposed that it was a part of the Fleet of
Kcrralral CORNWALLI'S, who arrived at Plymouth on
Tuesday night in the Ville de Paris, ,accorppanied
by the Prince of Wales.

'WE this morning received a Letter from /Intigua,
dated December 12, 1805, of which the following

is an Extra6t :

" His Majesty's Ship Nimrod arrived here on the
iath, dispatched by Admiral COCHRANE to the dif-
ferent Islands, requiring all His Majesty's Ships to
,join him immediately to windward of Martinique;
he having received intelligence of a French Sqnadion
being expeEted in those seas."
It is very probable that the 'French Squadron
seen by Sir J. DUCKWORTH was destined for the
West Indies ; in which case, if they escaped that
Commander, it will be seen 'by the above Letter,
that there is every prospect of a 'good account being
given of them by Admiral COCHRANE,

We stated some time since that no doubt was en-
tertained that Admiral DUCKWORTH had sailed for
the West Indies in quest of this Squadron, which
he lost sight of for the moment.

Tilts morning the House of Commons met at
eleven o'clock ; the House of Lords met at the same
hour; when the Royal Assent Was given by Com-
mission to the Auditor of the Exchequer's Bill. -

Tir, new Ministers who have not yet formally
received their Appointments kissed hands this day.
The remainder of the new Writs are expeded to be
moved this evening. The whole of the Appoint-
ments will appear in,the Gazette to-morrow.

OUR Readers will, we trust, recollea, that when
e translated from the, French Papers the most, ex-
traordinary account which BoN4rAttTE gave, in one
of his Official Bulletins, of the conversation which
passed between him and the Russian Prince DoLoo-
guci, we stated at the same time our firm belief
that ti'e was either a fabriCation or a gross
;misrepresentation. Our opinion of the ccturary of
tlr_ French Bulletin, is fullyconfu-rned, by a docu-
ment which we are this day enabled to lay before
tour Readers. If has evidently been published by the
Russian government, in answer to the calumnies
and misrepresentations circulated by BoNAT'ARTE.,
particularly in the Thirtieth Bulletin.

Ex.tra& of a Letter from a Friend at Verdun, dated
January 6, 1806 :---" Capt. HAWKER; of the 30th
