DOVER, MAY 3,---The Li'vety Revenue Cutter,
Capt. LILBu tor, arrived this afternoon from Capt.
MORRIS of the Leopard, Commodore of the Squa—
dron off Boulogne : she left the Squadron about eight
this morning, at which time from zoo to zso of the
Flotilla were anchored in the Roads, under protec-
tion of the Batteries.
There is no doubt but the Stone Expedition is
found to be wholly impraaicable, and is totally
abandoned.

We learn with great regret, by Letters received
from Lisbon, of the zist ult. that the Ilia stem, of
54. guns, Capt. LE GROS, t hkh sailed February
z, from Plymouth, with Stores for Gibraltar and
Lord NELSON'S Fleet, had caught fire arid was burnt.
With the fate of the Crew we are unacquainted.
On the 16th of Feb. Commodore Pit Ir,z. F, com-
manding the United States Frigate, made an attack
in the middle of the night, with his boats, on the
late American Frigate, the Philadelphia, lying in
the Harbour of Tripoli, fully manned, and ready for
sea. They completely carried the Frigate in a few
minutes, killing about 4,0 of the Crew, and driving
the rest overboard, or into their boats ; after which
they set her on fire, and completely deltroyed her,
having only one man wounded in the gallant action.
