NAVAL WS.

PLYMbuTH, MARCH '2B.—The Pelona brig cif
war that put-in here yesterday) from Portsmentri,
witha.small convoy, bound to Gibraltar, sailed late
last Light. One of her convoy did Rot proceed;
which was the transport ship Benjamin Slialv, C.
master, with a cargo of stores, she having a
short time previous to the departure of the Pelo? us,
ran foul of the ship Fox, J. MACK, master, (one of
the Serapis's convoy, that put in here -yesterday);
frOM Leith, with a cargo bound to Gibraltar, Malta,
and Messina„by which both vessels were-damaged,
the latter had her bowsprit carried away, and soon
after the accident dyined ashore on Drake's Island,
but was got oft again,• and, we understand, did not
receive. slay material damage in her bottom ; it is
therefore expected that both vessels will proceed
. ,
from hence for their destinations; in company With
a small fleet tinder the proteCtion of the Serapis

instant, supposed to have been an English mer-
chantman ; the Hotspur was at some distance from
the hostile ships, but she left them continuing the
