eos:iott Commander, was captured off BeAchy !lead
by the Bi-arrve French Lugger. Other Engli,ll
vessels of the Convoy being in sight, thane the
Lugger's people anxious to follow up their good
fortune : their great hurry to gire chaceb enabled:
CONNOA, Under vatiOLIS pretences, to daily, until
they carried off his Mate instead of himself; which
they' had intended, With. the Crew, except, two
buys,.from 12 to 14 yearfi:Of age. A Prize.master!
and four men -were put on board by. the Lugger
it blew a perfeca galk shortjv after, at N.N.E.'
In stowing the Jib, one ofhe'Frenchmen fell over-
- hoard, and was droWned:'-',Ciitligo it observing this,
came 'on deck With an old piitol concealed under,
his coat : the Prize-master was steering the Brig
Captain CqNNoR struck him with the butt:end,
of his pistol .on the temple, but did not briog
him down : the Prize master then drew another,
from his belt, which CONNOR. succeeded in wrench-
ing ,liom him.. The three other Frenchmen during the
scuffle had. 'got the useless pistol from Capt. CON-
NOR ; brit the • moment the latter presented . yiig
new acquired one, they all cried out, " Fortune- le
Guerre !" and.. retreated to the 'forecastle, crying
for.qtiarter ; and laying down on their bellies,
crossed their hands behind them, to-be fastened, by
one of the boys, while CoNNok steered. The ship
was-so leaky that CoxtfOß again cast their . hands .
loose,- and made them work at the pumps. In this
state, His Majesty's Frigate La Llire. fell in with
her .off Cape Barileur Light-House, the liraave
Luber t;nd another Brig (supposed a captured
vessel also) in sight. The I:lc:aver being taken pos.
session of, '‘vas found:very leaky, and the gale in.
creasing . the following day, the signal of distress
was made at -the request of CoNNou ; La Loire
stood towards ner, and 'was told she was water-
logged, and settlinglasr. The whole' people were
taken out with great risk by Lieut, who
volunteered the'business, there being a very heavy
sea. In a few huts it' moderated,: and La' Loire
again took possession, took Thee in tow, put- La
h ire's cisteri pump into *r; :andbrOught her safe
to .PlynOuth.

The whole of the- ere v;,- and.petty ;officers of the
Ae Frigite, Capt. DAV I'. LS, have.bccn turned
over- to the Brims-wick and .fieinnibal, of 74 gulls
each, which are fitting witti utl posible expedition
to join the Baltic. Fleet.

Friday last an order was received at chatham
from the Navy Board, to enter every Shipwright
and Caulker, who had a son (capable of being put
apprentice), to be bound to his farther.; and
wise to' take an, account of the number of children
and their age, which .every person of ap the diffe-
rent departments in the yard had chargeable to' the
parent, the Navy Boarahaving it in contemplation,
during the time that provisions are so dear, to ,allow,
for a temporary relief; every man who had a wife,
si-pence per day advance; to theM whu had two,
children, nine pence; and to those. who had four
children, one shilling per. day ; men who had gut a
servant, ,and. those who were single, were to be
exempted. .

Geoflii;/ria 'Packet, Capt. HENRY LEIGH,
WhiChsaiied from Portsmouth on the i+th September
last, with Dispatehcs for; the Government of Ben-
gal, arrived at the Cape of! Good, in her outward
lyassage, on the 2d day of December, and sailed on
her voyage the 21st. - On 'the Georgiana. standing
into Table Bay, she struck on the rocks, but received
-1";10 material injury.
We have the-picasure to state, that the wounded
Officers,- Vass-enges; and crew,' of the East India
ConVairs'late:-Ship the Aria, which had been sent
to Bengal in an Arab, by order of Suitt:ol/yr, were
ally(' on the 26th of Oaoberiait (nineteen days
sub,equent to. the'Aaion with La Confianise), and
likely.to Mr. Yout.t., the third Officer,
whose woundi'were deemed of a dangerous nature,
was,' we are happy .to learn, in a fair way of reco-
very. Serjeant. O'BRIEN? of His Majesty's Jodi
Regiment' of Foot,,' andAaree privates; who were
left 'on board the .Kort.. in consequence ,of their
. ,
wounds, are deed.

The late suppression of two journals in Paris, is
but one in addition to the many instances which the
trench .Government has afforded of its contempt of
Liberty in Whatever form it . may appear.. If; as it
Is natural to suppose, the Journals which this.Go_
vernment suffers to exist, expreis themselves in con.'
fortuity with its wishes, ,there seems: not much to
be hoped-from its pacific dispositions. The follow.
ing article exttatfed from' rhe Clef du Cabinet,
where it is given under the head of "'A Political
View of Europe," no doubt suggest the same
reflexions
.to OUT Itpaders: ' •
•" France, vvlien strengthening her internal Go..
vernment, is at the same Aime aggrandizing her in.
fluence abroad. It' is when this Government sees
almost all the ',Continental Powers united against
England, that she treats that Enemy in the most
moderate style,. renouncing all -declamations, in.'
sults too corninon from one Enemy to another, but
unworthy of a Power which is sensible of its force,
and which has proved it.
" This Power 'wants Peace, 'like the-. rest of
Europe ; she desires it, she 'wishes it ; but the
People who •in the same time have twice conquered
Italy, who have carried their Arms into the heart
of Austria, who have established and consolidated
their dominion in Egypt, will have only .a glorious
Peace, - Thus, whatever may be the iskte of the
War,. in the Baltic, supposing..the Dimes and Swedes
to yield in the unequal icontelt) icraoce will not
abandon the Maritime interests of the, Continent.—
A few tfiumphs, of tht:Engtiahltatn ;otity serve to
prolong the War : they 'Will 4eite ;France to intr.
sue with ardour its, plans' -against India, and if it
should be oecessark, in order id-give Peace to the
Scab, afterhaving ,given it to. the. Continent, she
will not .hesitate; to. dire& all-her energies, an all
het means, against the Coasts of England." •
