On Friday morning arrived at Leith the Smual.
low Packet, Capt,Wmtta, from London. On Wed-
nesday morning, between eight and nine, being off
Flamborough Head, a French Brig Privateer came
close upon her stern, through a fleet of colliers, and
was within pistol-shot before Capt. WHITE knew
she was an Enemy, and saw them loading their

guns. The Frenchman called nut repeatedly to
gi Had to;" ,and Capt. WHIM ordering down
his square sail, immediately cleared his deck to,en.
gage. In the mean time the Frenchman hauled up
his colours, half-way up his main-sail, and fired a
broadside, with a volley of musketry ; but being
opposed, with as much precision and regularity as

It; suddenness of the alarm admitted of, with rt:und

and grapeshot from the Smack's z 2.pouratarrOn.
lades, he, after a short time, !bought proper to sheer
off to a safer distance, keeping up his fire, but hv.
pily without doing any injury. After some time
an English armed Ship came down upon the Priva.
teer, and hastened her retreat. She kept hoverkg
about, however, all day, and it is feared may have
taken several vessels in the evening.
.Copt. WHITE'
;
fought with the greatest resolution and, we arc
happy to say, neither Ship nor Crew sustained any
damage. The Swift Packet, Capt. pap, was in
company. She was a black-sided l3rig, mounting;
apparently, 14. guns, full of men ; carries a white.
bottomed boat over her stern.

The Brig George, Purt CELL, of Greenock, from
Liverpool to Galway, was totally lost at the Isle of
Man, on the 4th instant, together with the cargo
and crew, except one man.

gviaa of 'a Letter received at Greenock, on
Mum.lay, from the Master of the Nell] and Peggy,
a vessel which had fur some time been given up as
lost :

66 We sailed from Fort Johnston upon the 9th
November; 1864, and made the land of the North
of Ireland upon the isth December ; the wind then
coming to the Eastward, we could make nothing
of it, and upon the 25th, blowing a severe gale,
we got into Sheephaven Bay. Upon the 3oth,
a light air springing up from the S. W. we got
under weigh ; but the wind coming again t• the E.
and blowing very hard, obliged us to take the Sound
of Islay upon the 3d January, 1805. You may de.
pend upon it I will make as quick dispatch as pos.
Bible from this place. There is no damage done to
the vessel since we left America, only some of the

fore rigging, and main.hooni, carried aw,iy. We
arc entirely loaded with limber and wrought.liand
spikes."

The Pub&isle, of the 2d inst. says, 'that the chid
&orris, of Belfast, bound to Bristol, has been taken
by. a French Privateer, which also captured three
English Brigs.
The Qtorge, Capt. SINEPIOtt, of Greenock, has
alto been taken and carried into Guadaloupt.
A Paris Journal of the 3d Instant contains the..
following Article, which it may be pleasing to the
.nations uf, OA English Prisoners in France to
peruse :
" The English detained at Verdun have enjoyed
Without intermission an entire liberty, even since
the escape of Mr. CRAVPURD, (Sir JANltib) ; their
aetual number is 850; but 85 of them have been
transferred to Sarrelibre. We have proofs that se.:
veral of them, without regard to their word of
honour, the only restraint which bas been imposed
on them, have attempted to escape. But the same
conduit towards them has been -unceasingly ob.
served. They even have at their. disposal every
source ofamusement, as horses, carriages, &c. which
they possessed at the period of their arreitation.—
They receive, without interruption, by Germany,
the remittances which are sent to them frum Eng.
and," &c:—(Pabliciire, Jan. )
The Triennial Elettion fur the Choice of a' Pre_

FOR THE NEW YEAR, dos.

SY HENRY' J. rye,
POIT LAUR&AT.

FOR TINTOVs 'mid the stormy sky,
Dread when the livid meteors glare,
The faded cheek, the languid eye,
Pale terror's awful reign declare;
• And as athwart the face of Heaven
, The blazing coruscations fly,
From the green mend and pasture-driven,
The flocks and herds affrighted hie
For on the lightning's flash await
The fiery messengers of fate;
And the loud tempest's thundering breath
Wafts the terrific bolts of danger and of death.

11.
But when the golden Orb of day
High in the arch of Heav'n appears,
And with its salutary ray
The smiling face of Nature cheers,
Each grove a livelier verdure wears :
The beams the woodland gloom pervade
While shining through the dewy glade,
As smooth the rivilet glides along,
The lowing herds, in peaceful throng,
Assembled on the rushy brink.
Graze on its sides, or from its bosom drink ;
And,. bursting from each parent root,
Myriads of embryo scions shoot—
, Myriad's'iif insai tribes their wings display.
And rise to light and life, wak'd by th' inspiring ray.

Fell Despotism's giant form
Shevis to the subjugated mind,
As glares the ►reteor of the storm,
The dread, the horror of mankind.:
Baleful as through the darkisVd skies
Okith livid gleam the lightning dits,
Fierce as the fiery torrents fioW
From the rent mountain's torrid brow,
when o'er Sicilia's plain and dtedal towers
itttna the stream of desolation pours, '
And far as horror throws th' astonish'd aye,
The wined regions round in smoking ruins lie.

gut different far the happy scene,
'Mid fertile vales and sky serene.
Where rules a King with peaceful sway;
A People's good his Patriot aim ;
Who, 3: the radiant source of day,
Sheds glowing light and vital flame
And a; along th' ethereal space,
Sternal laiiva the course celestial trice,
So PreridOin's rule and Virtue's high behest
Direct the Councils of the Royal breast;
And, as the day.star's influence bland,
Siteds plenty o'er the teeming land,
Now from th' irriguous marsh and sea.beat coast,
Raising of vapuury mists a fleecy host,
To fall again, again with genial power,
balmy due or gentle shower ;
So grateful Albion through each fruitful plain
Proclaims with heartfelt joy her C;eorge's prosp'rous reign.
