-Mr. riUTCHINSON suggested the" propriety of
making a canal for the conveyanCe of powder from
the powder Mills to COrk ; the road through which
it was at present conveyed being extremely po•
pulous, and of course attended with danger.
Mr. WA.IID said, it was already made the sub--
..
_lea of serious consideration, but no accident having
taken place, and great precautio'n being used, it was
thought that the great expence of such an under-
taking might be spared to the public. The subject
was sttll, before the Government.
The Resolutions were then agreed to.

The CHANCELLOR of_the EXCHEQUER moved, for
a new Writ for the Borough of Lisburne, in the

tion, accepted the office of Vice Chamberlain.—Or-
dered.

SIR,
I have the honour to inclose, for the information
of the Right Honourable the Lords Commissioners
of the Admiralty, the copy of a letter transmitted
to me by Captain Rowley, of His' Majesty's ship
Eagle, detailing the capture of the French frigate
Tomone,_ anSPersannas store-ship, by his Majesty's
ships Active, Aiceste, and Unite, on the 29th of
November, 1811.

P. S. Captain RoWley, in his letter to me of
igth Ultimo, also mentions the loss of the French
frigate Flora'.—" She was going from Trieste to Ve-
nice; was caught with a strong borer, and stranded
off Chiozza, whgn every soul on board perished,
with the exception of five or six." T. F. F.

SIR,

His Majesty's ship Alceste, off Lissa,
Dec. 4, iSi z. ,

The enemy's squadron kohl Corfu, going to
Trieste, were met with, on the 29th ult. by three
of his Majesty's ships under my orders. The Per-
sanne was chased and taken by the Unite, after a
long run ; the Pauline and Pomone chased by the
Alceste and Aetive, and, after a most severe action
of two hours and forty minutes, the Pomone was
taken, totally dismasted, and Pauline escaped,
owing to the Alceste having her-maininp-matt dun_
away. The-Alceste has twenty killed and wounded;
the Aetive, about thirty-two; and I lament to say,
Captain Gordon has lost a leg, and his first lieute-
nant an arm.

The details of the salon I shall have, the honour
of transmitting by the first man of war going
down.

I have the honour to be, &c.
