His Majesty's ship Diomede sailed from S. He-

DRURY.

His• Majesty's ship Doris, Captain COLE, was at
Prince of Wales's Island thezth of April, where the
lhilltelminu frigate was lying as guard-ship.
The Lioh man of war, which convoyed the fleet
from China to St. Helena, was left to convoy to
England the Bengal fleet, daily expetied to arrive at
that island.

The Li6n, with the China 'fleet under convoy,
sailed from Lintin on the 7th of March, made Pulo
A.,ito on the 18th, entered the Straits of Sincapore
on the 'lgeh, .joined by his Majesty's Ship Blunche,
Captain llAwsoN, anchored at Malacca on the 2.:2d,
Weighed on the 23d, arrived at Penang 31st, sailed

country ships Castlereagh and- liesbrutiQn parted
company, bound to Bornhay, and on the 17th of
July arrived at St. Helena.

The present arrival; do not bring any positive in-
formation of the missing ships, of the last, or pre-
ceding homeward-bound fleets. During their stay
at St.. Helena, however, an America ship arrived,
the mastra- of Which reported, that three indiamen
had been captured and sent into the Mauritius. He
could not recoll&.-t their names, but it is conjeaured
by Some that these ships are the Glory, Experiment,
and the Lord AelsOn, which were supposed to have
thundered on or about the 26th of November, to the
west ward of the Straits of Sunda, where they were
last seen by the Albion in the greatest distress.—
hers suppose the captured ships to be three of the
tour missing -ships of the last fleet ; namely the
Bengal, Calcutta, .Duchess cf. Gordon,- and Ludy
Jane Dundaj. It is,. however, generally believed,
that the last-mentioned missing ships have put into
Madagascar, where they will remain during
,the
prevalence of the periodical Westerly winds, and
tlit‘, in the event of their having received damage,
they will return to Bombay to repair.
On the,22d of last month, arrived at Gottenburgh
an Atherican vessel, which- had been captured by.a
Danish privateer off Fladstrand. At the time of her
capture, sixteen of the privateer's crew were put on
board to carry-her into port ; but, just as the ship
was entering the roadstead, the Americans, who
there twelve in number, rose upon the Danes, whom
they attacked with knives, handspikes, Sze, and,
after a severe struggle,,in which one Dane was killed,
and the others desperately wounded, repossessed
themselves of the vessel. Ode of the Americans
was thrown overboard, and the rest.severely wound-
ed. The M'aster was not expected to survive.—
A Dane was wounded in no less than 16 different
places.
A vessel is arrived from Gijon. It will be recol-
leded that we mentioned that Gen. BALLASTEROS
was proceeding to Santander, with the design of tak-
ing possession of that place, assisted by some British
ships of war. This vessel brings a report, that with
• the co-operation of three English frigates this pur-
pose had been accomplished.

Our Readers will find in an 'advertisement in our
paper of this day, a Resolution of the Merchants
and Bankers of London, to eelebrate• the fiftieth
anniversary of the accession of.our virtuous and be-
loved, Sovereign to the Throne, by a public dinner

questing his Lordship to convene a Court of Corn-
,mOn Council at an early day, for the purpose of

The ,negociations between Mr. SHERIDAN and
Mr. ARNOLD have, we find, at lest amicably ter-

urinated,- and the- Lyceum is to be the scene of action
for the Drciry-lan9 company during the ensuing
season. It is bat justiceto state, tha4 from all we
have learned on the subjeet, Mr. AittsroLo Was mast
readily disposed to give all possible-taciliti to the
arrangement, and that the propositions ()tiered by
Mr. SHERIDAN, though not eraaly what the for-
mer required, were the best that could be devised
under the peculiar circurnstancei of the Drury-lane
property, and its complicated interests.
FIRE.—An alarming and destrudive fire broke out
on Tuesday night in the dVelling-house of the,ltev.
Mr. Rolland, at Baker's Lodge, between 'Uxbridge.
and Rickmansworth, which was occasioned by a
maid-servant setting fire to her clothes, and which
proved fatA- to her. Mr. Rolland and his family
were spending the evening at a friend's house, and
the servant was waiting up for them. Her shrieks
alarmed .two men=servants who slept up stairs, but
the room had then caught fire, and it was with dif-
ficulty that the men escaped. The poor woman
escaped from the house, but died in half an hour,
and in Tess than an hour the dwelling-house was in

A serious affray tock place'on Friday night, in the
neighbourhood at Foreden Bridge, Sussex, between
a party of smugglers, nine in number, and about
half-a-dozen officers of Excise, and their assistants;
The smugglers were attacked by the officers whilst
removing contraband goods on eighteen horses,
heavily laden, and after having been stopped, they
commenced an attack with cudgels, and completely
got the better of the officers. '['he latter, however,
obtained assistance ; and pursued the smugglers se-
veral miles, and took twelve of the horses and their
lading. Several on both sides were seriously injured,
but there were no fire-arms used.
