Copy of a Letter from Captain Barrie, of his Majesty's ship
Pomone, addressed to Vice-Admiral Lord Collingwood,
and transmitted by his Lordship to the Hon. Was. Welles-
ley Pole.
Pomone, off Cape Bou, lune, 13, 18c9.
MY LORD,

I am to acquaint your Lordship that at eight
o'clock' this.. morning, Cape Bou bearing S. W.
distant seven miles, after a short chace I captured the
Neapolitan privateer Le Lucien. Charles, commanded
by Chevalier Charles Lucien Prevost de BoisSi Ad-
jut:int-General de France,. Officer de la Legion
d'Hooeur. Le Lucien Charles is a new Bombarde
of about sixty tons ; she mounts one twelve and
two six-pounders, and is well found 'in small arms,
with a complement of fifty-three men; she is ten
days from Naples, and has not made any capture.—
Being much surpri4ed to find an Officer of General
de Boissi's rank in the command of a small privateer,
I caused. the most diligent search to be made for
papers ; but none were discovered except those that
relate tet the Bombarde; it is fortunate the Pomona
fell in with this privateer, as two very valuable Smyr-
na ships were in sight at the time of her capture.
I have the honour to be,
ROBERT BARRIE..

Pale, dated oWrhe Start Point, the 6th instant.

Be pleased to inform my Lords Commissioners of
the Admiralty, that at daylight this morning, stand-
ing up Channel with the East India convoy, I observ-
ed a suspicious lugger standing to the southward,
distant about five miles,' mlde all sail in chace, but
the breeze dying away, I sent four boats under the
command of Lieutenants Gregory, Pyre, Drake, and
Jackson, who volunteered ; and, after a chace of two
hours, came up with' and carried her. I an, well
satisfied, had she been of much greater force they
would have boarded her.

She proved w be the Jean Bart, French lugger
privateer, of four guns and twenty-Five men belong-
ing to Maloes, commanded by Louis 011iver
Pilvesse,
.Enseigne de Vaisseu, five days out from the

VARY EXTRAORDINARY PRODUCE.—IO the year
1807, an apricot tree, in the garden of Mr. Arnold,
of Utfington, • near Stamford, had plucked from it,
whilst green (in order to thin the fruit,) 33 dozen of
apricots, and 53 dozen remained and ripened on the
tree.—ln 1803, 73 dozen ripened on the same
tree, and 32 dozen were taken off green.—And this
year 70 dozen have been taken off", in order that 55
dozen that remain may come to perfe6tion.
PARTRIDGES.--This species of game is very abun-,
dant this season, contrary to general report, although
very few have been brought to bag, owing to the
lateness of the season. The covies, when once
sprung, are lost to the sportsman, as they invariably
take shelter in the standing corn, and cannot•be got
at. It is computed that not the one-third part of
the number of birds have been brought to bag during
the first eight days of September as was last Sea Sol/
in the same: time. Pheasants are also plentiful, but
hares are scarce.
