NAVAL NEWS.

txtract of a Letter from Captain STEVENSON, of the ship
Duck, dated Oratara., 16th Sept.

. •' We arrived here this morning from Fuerte
li'eutura, having been taken by the Peacock Ame-
rican ship of war, of 22 guns and 182 men. On
the 2d inst. on our passage from Cape Cabros to
this port, four fnileS from the land, she cut tha
Duck'S mast away, and sunk her. We had 100
tons of barilla on board. The Peacock had taken
and destroyed eleven other vessels. There are
"tail) privateers now in the Lauzarotte refitting,
and 30 more are among the Island 3. Mr. BRUCE,
the Consul, informed me to-day, that the Dry
Horbour, and three other vessels, were taken
about a week ago off Lauzarotte."

ship Valiant, with a fleet for Cork ; and the Cla-
rendon, for Cork, to join convoy for the West
Indies. Also sailed his Majesty's ship Cyane,
with a convoy for Newfoundland ; Vesta cutter,
for Plymouth ; and the Sprightly cutter, on a
cruize. The brig Three Brothers, CLARK, bound

board a cargo of vitae and barilla. The brig
Bacchus, of Poole, STOCK tNs, master, from New-
foundland to Gibraltar, and the Atlantic, JOHN-
SON, of Liverpool, from Bourdeaux, for Pensacola,
were captured by the Wasp the 24th ult. The
two former being plundered, were sunk, the latter
sent for America. Time Captains of the above

THE Cottac. Ey.sputm tuN.—'fhe secret Expedi-
tion, composed of the 40th regiment anti York
Hussars; which lately sailed from our harbour
under the convoy of his Majesty's ship Sultan,
and which was obliged to put into Bantry-bay,
where the Baring transport was lost, arrived in
this harbour yesterday. They returned in con-
seqnence of the chief part of their .stores being
lost in that transport. The rumour of the Ex-
pedition having been countremanded is, we un-
derstand, unfounded, for an order, we have rea-
son to state from good authority, has been issued
for their sailing on Monday next.—(Cork Adver-
tiser, Oct. 22, 1814.

Sir E. M. PAKENHAM takes his departure imme-
diately for America, to assume the command in

frigate is preparing for the accommodation of the
Lieut.-General and his suite.

BRIGHTON, OCT. 25.—This morning, after
breakfast, the PRINCE REGENT went through the
town, with the QUEEN and the PRINCESSES in
carriages. On the Steyne they alighted, and
walked for a considerable time, followed by an
immense concourse of people. The Royal Party
will dine with Lord and Lady Chichester to-mor-
row, at their seat at Stanmore, near Lewis, and
it is positively asserted that they will prolong their
stay until Saturday, before which a Ball is talked
of.

The Princess CHARLOTTE of WALES is not yet
quite free from the complaint in her knee, but is
otherwise greatly benefitted by the air of Wey-
mouth.

A friend of M. SERRURIER, the French 'Mini-
ster in the United States, has contradicted in the
Paris Papers the report of his having married
Miss PATTERSON, the first wife of JEROME 800-
NAPARTE, asserting that he tvas present on the
17th of May last, at the Minister's marriage with
Mademoiselle PAGEOL DESNOUTIERES, the daugh-
ter of a planter of St. Domingo, resident in the
United States.

THE 'THEATRE.—The Tragedy of Venice Pre-
serred drew a large audience to Covent Garden
Theatre last night ; and Miss O'NIEEL again dis-
played ber interesting powers with great success.
Before the commencement of the play Mrs. SID..
DONS entered Mr. KEMBLE'S ptivate box, and be-
ing recognized by the audience, the visitors of
the Pit immediately arose, and gave her three
rounds of applause, in which those of the Bokes:
and Galleries vehemently joined. Mrs. SIDDONS
seethed to be much affected by this unexpected
.testimony of public esteem, and expressed her
sense of it by repeated marks of grateful obeit-
ance. We understand that she bestowed high
eulogiums on Miss O'NEILL and CONWAY, 'the
latter of whom is certainly very much improved
in Jeer, and performed it with great effect.—
YOUNG displayed'-all his usual animation in Pierre.
The Ohl Bailey Sessions'commeneed yesterday,
but no case occured of any interest.
