KINGSTON, Nov. 29.—Late on Thursday eves'
lng last weak a duel took pkce at Port-Royal ba
twee}. Lieut. B. of the Royal• Artillery,
,and Vet*
S. of the Second. West India Regiment of -Foot'
when, after an exchange of shots, the former 'try°
severely wounded in the breast.

The folloi,ving Vessels, captured and detained by
14 Pique Frigate, arrived on Monday, viz. the Spa-
nish Brig El Cabarito, in ballast, cut out of Porto
Rico by hei boats; the French Felucea La Surprise,
of one gun and seven men (nineteen being absent is
prizes), taken off the same Island ; a French Sloop,
with logwood, captured off St. Domingo; and the
Danish Schooner Eleanor, from the Bay of Cuthana,
bound to St. Thomas's, ifa ballast, detained by her,
The Resistance Frigate, of 36 guns, Capt. ADAM'

arrived at Port-Royal the same afternoon. She sale
ed from Plymouth on the 4tli ult. with dispatches
for the Governor and Admiral, and touched at C#l.'
thagena on the 17th inst.. for the purpose o#' landing
Signior MENDoz*, a Spanish Nobleman.

We understand that the Resistance has brought
accounts of a powerful coucu. being about to be aeAr

out to the West Indies, intended to take possession
of some part of the Spanish dominions, which l'js
Catholic Majesty has determined to deliver over t°
Great Britain, to prote& it frOm the rapacioui
grasp of the Corsican Usurper.—This appears yell
probable, as the Duhe of Zent Packet brought inte4'
ligence of the arrival at Falmouth on the Ist ult. of
Mr. CoELHo, a Spanish Messenger, with Dispate' 4eo'.
from. M.adrid fur the British Government, and it is
supposed that the Resistance was dispatched in con
sequence of information they contained.
DEc. G.—The 4nson Frigate, of 40 guns, Opt'
LYDIAN, the 4rethusa, of 38 guns, Capt. BeiszANP
and the Latone,-- of -36 guns, Capt. 'Wool), sailed,
from Fort-Royal on Saturday morning, for the pur-
pose, we understand, of taking possession of al°
patch Island of Curacoa. The statement publish'
ed several weeks ago of the Elephant and Yett:rcaz
Line-of-battle Ships having ploceedecl on that sOrd

vice was erroneous, those Vessels having been disd
patched on a cruize off the Savannah to watch the
motions of the Frerkch 8p gun Ship Le Foudroyan4
and the Spanish 74, San Lorein.

KINGSTON, DEC. 1.3.--,-The, C4opatra Frigate, of

24th September, with the General Carlton and 11°'
sina mast-ships under convoy, and arrived at Barbj';
does on the igth October, from whence she Pr°-

ceeded with them to Antigua, which sir(
quitted on the isth November for St. Thinas.3l
and from thence she sailed on the 29,i for Tortoili,
the latter Island she left,pn the Ist inst. for the pt
pose of returning to Halifax.

A report was current at Antigua of the arrival,
MartilliCO, 'of four Sail of the Line from RochefoT
While the Cleopatra-
.was at Tortola, the
,Fortunee schooner, of 14 guns, Lieut. BROWN., f'''
rived there with the loss Oiler masts, ILving laJJe°
in, off Basseterre, with the famOus French Privates
Brig General Ernoiff, of 1.8, guns, and 150 We'''
which she engaged for upwards of an hour and °II
half, and would have captured, had' not her 13,31

using every exertion against their supposed enetlo-
- great reluCiance Capt. CROW was compelled t° ,
strike; but to his great satisfaction the two Nrs6els
