We have' the pleasure to announce the capture of
the Egyptienne, French Privateer, of 36 guns, and
zso men, in the West Indies. She sailed from Tene-
riffe last Oaober, in company with three other Pri-
vateers, of inferior force, and proceeding from thence
to the Coast of Africa, was employed in the cap-
ture of Goree. The latter place she left with the
design of cruizing in the \Vest Indies. About 150
leagues from Barbadoes, she fell in with the Osprey
Sloop, of i 6 guns, commanded by Lieut. YOUNG-
HUSBAND, who engaged her in the most gallant
manner; but she escaped, owing to her superior
sailing. Two days afterwards she was encoun-
tered by the Rippomene Sloop, of i 6 guns, which,
after a smart aaion, that lasted a considerable time,
compelled her to strike. The Egyptienne is since
arrived in Carlisle Bay, Barbadoes, in a very shat-
tered condition; and it was thought it would be
necessary to break her up. No account had been
received of the other Privateers which sailed in
company with het.
It is with much pleasure we learn, that an express
arrived at the India House yesterday, stating that the
Company's Ship the Alt:wick Castle, which went
a-ground on the South Flat in Sea Reach, was
lightened i z inches, and hove off, without expe-
riencing the slightest damage.
A Convoy was appointed to sail from Tortola for
England about the 30th of May. Several of the
outward bound ships have been captured and car-
ried into Guadaloupe ; not less than 25 Privateers
have sailed from that place, and have greatly an-
noyed the trade to the Windward Islands. Among
the ships carried into Guadaloupe are the Dtnadt,
Bolton, C aldecot Castle, and Hahn,

Colonel Gm rsKELL ; the Christchurch, Major
TOULMIN ; St. Saviour's, Major PR ATT ; the Sr.
Olave's, Capt. SHAW ; the St. John's, Major
KING ; and the Lambeth, Colonel EDWARDS. At
six o'clock in the evening they were formed, Col.
GAITSICELL commanding the whole as Brigadier.
The rain was so heavy and incessant, that the firing
was obliged to be dispensed with; all that was done
was dividing the Brigade into three Battalions,
forming into close column in the centre of each,
then forming close column of the whole, deploying
from thence into line by the right, then form.
ing by sub-divisions, and marching off the ground.
Captain Cot- NGDON's.Troop of Southwark Caval-
ry kept the ground for the Brigade in a very hand.

On Monday next the First Brigade of the Vo.

Sir JOHN NICHOL.
THE THEATRE.—MISS WOODFALL, the Daugh-
ter of the late M. WILLIAM WOODFALL, appeared
last night at the Haymarket Theatre, as Helen, in
The Iron Chest. This young Lady made a very
favourable impression on the public at Drury-lane
Theatre, in the chara6ter of Adelaide, in The Count
of Narbonne. Her figure and powers are much
better fitted for the Haymarket Theatre. Her
conception of Helen was just, and her representa.
tion delicate, tender and interesting throughout.
She was very well received, and we trust that her
own talents, and the esteem in which her father's
memory is held, will procure her an established foot.

Review, in which Mr. WESTON, from Edinburgh,
performed the part of John Lump. He had a diffi-
cult task to encounter,. in folloWing such a popular
Comedian as EMERY, but he came off with tolerable
success: He was somewhat too elaborately rustic.

mour in his aAing. DENMAN would be better in
the Irishman, if he did not iitch his voice so high.
He seems indeed to be always upon the bawl. EL.

part of Sir Edward Mortimer.
