PORT OF NEW YORK, Jury

Factraa of a Letterfrom Captain Smith, of the Ship
Fanny, arrived at the Lazaretto, Nov York, from
Canton.

" As the Helvitus is arrived, anti sailed after me
from Canton, there is nothing from that quarter
which I can Comiuutticato worth attention. I sail.
ecl from 'Macao February 14 ; and the following day
having a hard gale from the eastward, cartied away
the foremast. In passing the Straights'ofSunda, was
informed by the government boat; that the Iritish
bad totally destroyed the fortifications and other
buildings on Onrust, and there were four English
Ships of War then there.
" The Ships mentioned here passed. Anger at fol-

•Piedniontesa : after two hours detention, permitted
to proceed. On. the line, spoke the Ruby, of Charles-
ton, from the river Cour, with' slaves. When
ahe left the river' the Hin ostan, of Philadel-
phia, .was lying there.; 014 had been there five
weeks-outside of the river'3. mouth ; could not get in
'or out on account of the strong.tresbes in the river."

Saturday morning, a Court* Lartial was held at
Portsmouth, on Mr. Robert Kidd, /Wing Master
of.his Majesty's ship ROkr, for drunkenness, dis•
obedience of orders, insolence, ansi contempt.;-•
The charges were proved, and he was sentenced to
'be dismissed from the Battler, and-sent. to such ship
as the o)th mancier in Chid shall dired.
Mr. Stioria, late Purser of his Majesty's Sloop
of ,War the Wiziai/us, which was wrecked on • a
.desert island some months since in the Archipelago,'
arrived at Plymouth lait. week. The Captain and
greater part of the crew were.starved to death.
The Saturn, of 74 snns, Lord A. BEAUCLURK, by
standing too close into Cadiz, on the 21it nit., got
aground, close under the .batteries ; fortunately, it
Was in the night, and the enemy did not discover
her, or she niust have been last, or taken. Sisw was
on shore four bows, and sustained very considerable
damage. Her rudder was beaten off which obliged
her to go immediately to Gibraltar, where she is to
be hove down,-and afterwards sent home for a tho.
rough repair.

Rumours have reached us from various quarters of
. .

1 the capture of Buenos Ayres, Which we are inclined
to think true. One account says, that General OR AU-
tUnD received a Wound in the leg, and that another
General was also slightly wounded.:.
A, Gentleman who left Flushing a few days ago
t
states, that there are lying at that Port seven Ships
,
:1 of .the Line, whieh were lately launched at Ant.
werp, where they are building seven others of a
similar description ; and more are expel ed to be laid
down, if men can be found to man them.
„
i Letters from Holland were received yesterday,
which state, that the Dutch Government has ;again
been compelled,
,in consequence of Orders from. Pa .
ris, to put in force the laws against English mer-
, 'ehandize and commerce.

CATA LAN I has appeared in Dublin with such tn-
.
umphant success as might be expeCted, considering
i her great popularity in the metropolis of this Corm-
, try. The first Concert that introduced her to our
„
` Irish fellow-subjetits took place on Tuesday last in the
!I Rotunda. She sung three songs, and received in each
the most rapturous applause. Kr4t.Y cOndu6terl
the concert with great ability, and it went ctf in
ip admirable style,.. The fair Syron
,was to exert
her powers on Saturday last, and she is followed
with such - enthusiasm, that she will probably bc-
-1 , teaTted to extend her engagement.
