Several journals again take up the report which has
been spread ct an engagement supposed to have taken
phce in the Red Sea, between a French and an English ves-
sel. According to the new version the French ship is no
longer represented as a Goverstment vessel, but as a brig
belonging to merchants at Bordeaux. The Government
has received no information, but that previously published
under the date of the 2d of November, and which seems
to be confirmed now by further accounts from Bombay,
which are to the 30th of November.

night having fallen to 15 degrees. The likes and ponds
in the neighbourhood have, in ccnscquence, been eacted
with a thick coating of ice, en which the exhilratirg ex-
ercise of skating has been enjoyed to great advantage.
Lochend and Duddinptone have been both crowded. On
Saturday the latter exhibited a gay aid anima•ed assem-
blage. Though the ice, from Vic fall of snow, was some-
what rough, yet there was a most numerous concourse of
skaters as
the wellday as of sl'cct'gQll. The ice was solid and
secure,

with the living mass on the ice, in a con-
,'P presented a most lively scene, which seemed
'co chase away the gloom of a winter day. Saturday night
we bad occasional falls of snow, and some p.ppearance of
thaw, but yesterday the weather was clear, and the frost
continues intense. The snow in the south must be vt ry
deep, as the Landon mail yesterday morning was seven
hours later than usual in arrival; and last night the coach
