to ;at thirty minutes past seven she was abrcasi'
of us, and gave us a broadside ; we then com-
menced anion with her, which we continued until
the second Frigate, which was the Commodore's,
Came up and fired into us (having engaged the Ar.
row in passing) ; we now turned our fire upon this
Ship until we came close up with the Arrow,
who had put her helm a-weather and was now
raking her ; we hauled our wind to clear the
Arrow, who appeared to be wearing; I hailed, and
asked if he meant to come again to the wind on the
starboard tack but could nor understand what he
said ; as soon as clear of the Arrow, we again di-
' retied our fire against the Commodore's Ship, which
we continued until eight, when, with the greatest
grief, I saw the Arrow obliged to strike, being no
longer aisle to contend with the great superiority
of force opposed to her. She had, I conceive, re-
ceived much damage in the a5l of wearing ; the
wind being light she lay a considerable time with
her head to the Enemy. I'he Acheron being now
very much disabled in masts, sails, and rigging, and
part of her sternpost carried away, 1 considered
farther resistance on my part could answer no good,
and, unwilling to sacrifice the lives of men who
had given me the•highest proof of their courage, I
determined to make what sail I could, with little
hopes of saving the Ship, but with a view of pro-
longing the time of my being captured, to give the
Convoy the better chance of escaping.
The superiority iii sailing of the Enemy's Ship
rendered the chase but short ; at three quarters past
eight, having in chase received one broadside and
part of another, and the Enemy now very near us,
with the greatest mortification and sorrow I was
obliged to surrender to the French Frigate L'Hor.
tense, of forty-four guns, commanded by Monsieur
De la Marre La Mellerie, who, finding her much
disabled, as soon as the Officers and Ship's Com.
pany were removed, set her on fire.

Extra(t of a Letter from an Officer on board the
Arrow Slolp of War, to his Brother :

" Cartbagena, February 26, iSes.
" On Tauuary 4 we sailed front Malta, in comp.iny with
I,'Acharon,Bomb and a Convoy of
.34 Sail, for England, with
a tine lair wind, which carried ua within a tew days sail of
Gibraltar, when it shifted, and blow exceeding hard for ten
days.

" Surtday, Feb. 3, being very fine, we. observed two
strangm Ships on our weather quarter; made the private
signal., which was nut answered; tacked with Bomb, and
stood towards there, and at two perceived they were two
large Frigates: it now fell calm; but at sun-set a breeze
sprurtg up, and at tour in the morning the Frigates came
alompule, when several that were exchanged without any
damage on either side; they then stood off' again, and ran to
leeward, and we wife not positive of what nation they were.
Day.light at length appeared, and slimed us the French co-'
lours hying on board the Frigates. At six they tacked and
stood towards us and our consort•the Bomb.
" At seven the admit began with great spirit on both
sides, and lasted until half past eight t when, from our dis.
abled state, and being overpowered by so superior a fOrec, we
were under the neci.ssity of striking the colours. The Bomb,
seeing our condition, made sail, but, was afterwards taken
and burned. I leave you to judge if we gave up the Arrow
with disgrace.

•
" 114 Frigate which took possession-of us was L'l ncor.
ruptible, Mounting 44 eighteen pounders, and having on
board 600 men ; the other Frigate was L'llortense, mounting
about. jo guns, and the sluts number of men as L'incor-
riaptible. The Arrow mounted 28 thirty-two pounders
(carronades) and 134 men, and L' A cheron only eight guns.
We had 13 men killed and 27 wounded ; masts, yards, sails,
ropes, and rigging, cut all to pieces, so that the ship was a
most complete wreck, floating like a log on the water for the
last ten nitnutes et the Shot). lour guns out of six at my
quarters were disabled.
" About three hours after they took poltsession of us the
Frenchman found she was sinking very test, as we had up-
wards of j shot holes under water. Every one now began
to look out for himself; and as I was one of the last on board,
was obliged to take a leap overboard, and atter a cooling swim,
was taken into the Frigate's boat by one of our own men ;
but in spite of all the saints made by the French and our-
selves, she sunk about one in the afternoon, with three un-
fortunate wounded Englishmen on board, who could not be
got out. To aggravate our misfortune, not a stitch of clothes
did we save but what sve had on
our backs.
" We could not lean exactly what dainage we d ct the
Enemy, as thi:: Ship we engaged nio.t parted company in
chace of the Bomb, and did not Join again. The Frenchmen
.behaved very well to us ; while we were on bond the t ri-
gate, they took and burned two ct the convoy, a Transport
and a Merchant brig. We have not been able to learn what
damage the other Frigate did dm. Convoy; we hope nut MU( I
but had we not engaged diem o lung, a great many offs .
h c,,e fallen into their hands. The French owned they never
dreamed el our engaging them.'

The livrepable, of 98 guns, build;ag at Char
!ram, and the °teat', of 98 gun', building At WOOI
wick, are ordered to be fini,hed for launching.
The Ignition and Phoqborla Fire. vessels are or,

A Spanish Ship of about 300 tons burthen, laden
with coffee, sugar, dollars, &c. prize to a Privateer
of Liverpool, and bound to that Port, was spoke on
Tuesday night last, by a fishing.boat off the Land's
End.

A Letter from Cork, under date the 13th, says-.
" As you will be anxious for informatto,l respell.
ing the West India Convoy, we write to acquaint
you, that we are advised from Cove of the Com-
modore being instrufted
,to wait for the expened
Liverpool Ships."
A Letter from Holland, dated on Tuesday last,
says, " the Commissioners appointed by General
MARIAOSIT have cant:scared five ships with British
property, which had arrived in Holland after the
prescribed term. The value of their cargoes was
200,000 florins, which are to be paid into the Mi.
!jury Chest for the use of the French Troops.—
The Dutch merchants have petitioned against these
seizures, but are without a prospeet of redress."
Letters from Genoa of the stet ult. state, that
in the course of the present month another 74. gun
ship is to be fitted out in that harbour. Three have
lately been built there, not for French account, but
for its own Government. BONAPARTE wishes to
restore the former flourishing state of the Genoese,
particularly in the Mediterranean. It is even sup.
posed, that after the Kingdom of Lombardy shall
have been re.established for some time, the Genoese
will be made to solicit their union with their revi.
ved kingdom, which has no sea-ports. It is said
to be determined, that the Dutchics of Parma and
Guastalla are to be united with Lombardy ; and
were Genoa to be added to it,. a new maritime
Power would by these means be created in Italy.
The Turkish Government is busied in endea.
yours to improve its Marine ; the regular Seamen
are to he augmented to I siooo, and when not on
immediate duty are to be lodged in barracks now
fitting up for them in the Castle of Serai.

'rite insurgents in Cyprus have obtained posses.

of the Island.

A Letter from Rome, dated Feb. 9, states, that
during the preceding week the entire of the lower
parts of the City was inundated by the nverfbwing
of the 'Tiber; in many of the streets the water was
12 feet deep, and the inhabitants derived their ne.
cessary supplies by.means of boats : so or 6o per..
sons are stated to have perished.
Letters from Hamburgh mention, that on the 17th
inst. the Elbe was wholly free from ice, and that
three English Vessels, one from Hull, and two from
London, inid arrived at Gluckstadr. Two men were
lately kit iu attempting to land the English Mails
at WeStethe ve r.

The Deputies of Hamburgh and Lubeck have re.
turned from attending the Coronation at Paris.—
Their audience of leave of BONAPARTI is stated to
have been marker/ with insult, both to them and to
their Governments,

Private accounts from Naples give the most af.
Riding- representations of that Country, in conse.
quence of the presence of the French Troops, and
their unvarying attendants, rapine and oppression.
Another body of this banditti was, according to the
last letters, on its route through Etruria into Na.
pies. The KING of NAr Las had retired to Caserta,
whither the Qu tan was preparing to follow. His
Majesty had ordered his several Fortresses to be
abundantly supplied with provisions and stores, and
the Garrisons in numerous instances to be augment.
ed. General Sr. CY R had made the most angry re.
presentations on the occasion; and the French
Commercial Agent had sent his family to Rome ;
from which circumstance it was apprehended, that
hostilities were intended. The Russian Ships of
War continued in the Bay, hut had not any Troops
on board. Several disaffefted Neapolitans have been
taken into custody.

The OPERA.—Erillf was the attraetion of Sa.
turday last at the King's Theatre, and Mrs. Bt
LttioroN gave SO much variety to the airs, that the
Opera was almost a new treat. She excited the
most animated bursts of applause. The Duet par.
ticularly in the second aft was encored with rap-.
ture. The Ballet went of as thud. The fetnale
Dzs HAY 5$ is still Indisposed, and LA.D011.12 is,
therefore, a charming and most interesting sub.
stitute.

The following it stated to be the substance 1
the Petition from the Irish Catholics, which cx.
petted to he presented this day in the 11
I,,rds by Lord GRENVILLE, and by Mr. 'vox in
the House of Comnons.—The Petition itself,
understand, is expressed in the m)st temi:erate an<l
submissive terms; but what slims the mild 1,.‘1
laudable feelings of the Irish Catholics much bettlor
than words, is their conduti, for though they wis!t
to have their Petition laid 13:fore l'atitainent, they
are by no means anxious to precipitate adiscu—imi
of the objql it solicits:

.. of

It begins with reciting the preambles of the different Ads
of Parliament passed of late years in favour of Plie Roman
Catholics, and acknowledging and approving the loyal and
peateabledemeanourasrhich had recummettded them to the
marks of attention and encouragement on the part of t Lea
gislature: it next expresses a confident hop; that within);
since that period has belied the tenor of that conduct, or
forfeited the liberal regard with which their pretensions were
thee received. The Petition then p!oceeds to enumerate the
incapacities and discouragements under which the Cath:li,4
of Ireland still continue to labour; and trout which they
pray to be exempted, It principally dwells on the iocuc-
gruity of allowing Roman Catholics of a certain description
to vote at the Eledion of Members of Parliament, yet pre-
cluding them from the means of exercising that right in
halt of those whose consequence, character, and conduct,
they might think justly entitled them to that distinction. --
The hard condition to which the Roman Catholic Peers are
reduced, by neither being admitted to sit themselves in P.ir.
liament, or to vote for those whom they may judge worthy
of a Seat in the Imperial Legislature, which disci lulieations,
together with the exclusion of the Roman Boy
at large from the Magistracy, from Places of Honour
or Trust in the Army, or the Law, and at last their
pradical exclusion front the Corporations, &c, must disrobe
Property of all consequence and` consideration, anti effectually
counteract every motive that can direct the aims of lioucur-
able ambition, or stimulate the exertions of useful industry.
It finally rests the political expediency ofgrar zing the prayer
of the Petition on the ground of its removing every s b; c cut
discontent and complaint, and that at a crisis when the
Common Enemy can conceive no possible hope of the success
of his attempts against Ireland but from the it itation
produced by the ever-recurring recolledion of the re-
maining. incvacities, the removal of which must eirec_
tually dispose every man in Ireland to unite heart and hand
in defence of their Common Country, against the insidious
insinuations and daring attempts of the Common Fee, On
these and many other considerations, at a secowt.lry and par-
tial nature, the Petition builds the claims of the Petiti tiers
to the liberal attention of Parliament, faithfully acknowledg-
ing, as they have already to often acknowledged, the exem-
plary conduit} of the Petitioners, and as faithfully triter.
prcting in their tavour the fraternal wishes of the more en-
lightened portion of the Empire.

Saturday a Shnemaker, named HA,!sword!, and
his wile, were committed by the Magistrates
Istnibanougli.stecee foe trial, charged with the most
shocking cruelty to two children of the tUrmer by
a previous marriage. The accourit given of the
treatment to which these infante were Subjedied
was really affliaing : they were confined during
the winter in a room, without a fire or a bed, near.
ly n4ted, covered with sores from beating, &c. and
almost without food. They have been seen to pick
up b met in the street, and tot at potatoe-skins anti
other offal which had been trodden on.—The
gistrates ordered them to be taken care of.
On Monday morning last Jobe Wilkinson, for
poisoning his wife, and Ann Haywood, for the mar.
der of her female bastard child, were executed at
the Drop, without the Castle, York. Wilkinson
was in the 34th year of his age; and Ann Haywood
was a neat looking gill, only ;3 years old.
At the Kent Assizes, on Friday, Efizaleth Bar.
er received sentence of death for the murder of a
man of the name of Daly, with whom she had fur
many years cohabited. They had had a dispute about
some money, at Green A ieh, when a scuffle ensued,
and the Prisoner, taking up a knife, stabbed the de.
ceased in the side, and was soon after fount in the
room with the corps, coolly smoaking tier pipe.
On Friday morning between one and two o'clock,
as Mr. VINCENT LEANDER, the celebtated per.
former on the Frencla Horn, was returning home
from a Concert, to his haute in Portman-place, he
was stopped by three footpads, disguised in smock
frocks, on the Edgware Road, who demanded his
watch and money. He being a tall stout young man,
armed with a thick stick, and having a watch about
him worth 40 guineas, refused to deliver it, and
placing himself against a wall, resisted most eau.
rageouslY the attack of the villains with bludgeons;
who then swore that they were determined to itunder
him : he received several wounds in the face with a
deadly instrument, supposed to be fixed in one of the
bludgeons, which cut open his forel:ead and nose,
and was very near also cutting out his right eye.
A cart approaching at the time, Mr. L. called for
