The Amethyst Frigate has had a sharp Atlion
with a Ship of 24 guns, and three Brigs, from Ber.
gen, in which she has lost nine men, but could not
get hold of either of the Enemy's Vessels before
they got back to Bergen, where they are all now,
cheek by jowl, •refitting. The French attempted
several times to board the Amethyst, and are much
cut up. This is the Aaion alluded to in the Ham-
burgh Correspondenten, which supposed our Frigate
to be the Thetis.

The Capture of the Atalante Dutch Ship of War
of 18 guns, lying in the Texel, which we announced
in yesterday's Paper, was eife6led by the boats of
the Scorpion and Beaver, headed by Captains PELLY
and HARDINGE ; our brave Countrymen boarded
the Enemy's Ship in the most gallant manner. The
Dutchman defended himself nobly, and fought till
he fell, refusing quarter. We had not a man killed,
hut eight or nine wounded. The Dutch Brig had
her boarding netting up.

cited applause and incuriet) no opposition. The

attended. An apology was made for Mrs. MOUN-

There is nothing in your letter which requires any

me before-hand an estimate of your probable expences. 'Yn

expanded; you Will no doubt send me the particulars of your
expenditure for my Government, and yoll.maY depend upon
my put-lethality.
I have this moment received a letter for you from our Pre-

the copy, not chusing to run the risk of sending yoil the otic

it, to which you have giveh me no key.
You may very easily cause Minutes of letters to be taken;
being attentive to whom you confide this important trust.
You will do well to inform your friend at Toulouse[Stras-

Will do well to burn the covers.

Since your departure, Sir; we have made general trials of

NOTA ..MANUS.

s rttti - 9 December, 1803.
1 just received- your's of the 26th ult. and take the
earliest. opportun:ty of assuring you., ill the most tOrmal
manner, mat I nave not the least knowledge of the Society
of whose existence your-Society does not seem to doubt.
.14os ttle rest, should the tact be established, and you con-
vinced that its aim is in unison with }ours, I
du not hesitate
to exhort you to use all your address and discretion to com-
bine your opei atiuus, so as not only not to throw any ob-
stacles in ,the way of the labours' and enterprizes of tins lat-
ter, but to favour them, and endeavour to ensure their suc-
cess, which, as I think, will essentially help to promote
the result of your own operations. 1 am fully persuaded
that •it wtll not'be difficult to render this argument agreeable
to your Committee, according to this supposition.
I repeat to' ou, in the most pointed terms, that I have no
knowledge of the existence of this society ; but I also repeat,
that it it does in reality exist, I have not the :east doubt that
you and your friends will take proper measures, not-only not
to embarrass, but to aid its operations., Itis of little Conse-
quence by whom the game is hunted down; it is sufficient
that you be all ready to. juin in the chime.
The other objects which you mention, shall be taken into
immediate consideration ; and I will take care to send you
the necessary instiuctions. In the IIICAII time, I must ob-
serve to you, that I ‘aimot filially resolve, without having a
clearer view, and more circunistantial detail the resources
of the person whom )ou qualify with the title of
General, and which the chiefs of your association may pos-
sess, as also the manner in which they intend to employ
them.

...pry essential remark which I have just made is, that
the heat of the Spanish wax readers the sympathetic ink vi-
sibl,!; I therefore particularly tecommenti to you, not to use
it; but to close your letters simply with waters.

Your favours of the 28th November and sth December are
come to hand, the first on the t tat, and the second on the
toth of this month ; as are the Iwo Bulletins No. 4 (which
ought to have been No. 5 and 6). My answer was ready on the
asst, and was copied ; but not having been able to procure
the Bills of I. xcininge with which it ought to have been ac-
companied, and which 1 was obliged to procure front Augs.
burg, 1 was compelled to deter sending it till this moment,
I now consider the sending it as useless, since it ehietly.turn-
ed on subjects on which• it is nu longer necessary to speak
.flow, after having received yours of the isth, which came to
lurid this rooming with the Bulletin No. 7. Binh of them
were perfectly well written, being extremely legible, and
there:lvo nut the least appearance of. the ink before the ap-
plication of the compostnou.. ,
You account very naturally for the delay which one of
• your letters experienced. •I do not doubt hut that the letter
you gave to the man at Toat,war (Strasburg), will produce
every thing we can wish fur. I think you would do well to
promise hint a rewai , to encourage him to be still inure ex-
act in putting your letters into the Post Otlice at Kehl, and
to be very diligent in fetching mine, which I shall continue
to address to Obrcskow.
As to the uneasiness you express in your'S of the z6th- and
'2Bth Nov. 1 will here give you my sentiments. I wish
Very much, for reasons you are not ignorant at, that you
should remain at Chalons; Paris); but it you have reason
to think your-further stay there might expose you to the
danger of discovery, or if you think it necessary or expedient
to quit France wholly, (whicli I leave entirely to your own
prudence and discernment) you are quite at liberty to do it,
taking care to send duplicates of your papers to your friends,
enaOle them to continue your coriespondence, pointing out
to them, at the sane tithe, the thealiS of sending their letters
and receiving mine. In this case I rccommcnd your going
to 911Z7nburA, and there to wait mt. last instructions..
tun perfeetly satisfied with the account you give me of
the members of your Committee; and 1 do not desire to
know the itarties of the persons, unless you think such coot-
vatniieeir:on may be made without any inconvenience, or
d'angeeof offending your friends.
I cannot conceive how any of its Members could doubt

our s:rionsly intending to help them in attacking the•lJsur-
yer•, :particularly as all your •instrtictions t:int to that end,
which, with the reports of the conversation 3ou hwe had
with ►tie, will, I hope, suffice to disabuse. tnem. You
know I have never reconnnended to you to direct all your at-
tention to learning what 13 's projects are, but through
that !retied conviction that. I am. in, that it is one of the
most efficacious means of sapping the foundation of the great-
ness of that man. For the rest, you• may renew 3 our as-
surances to them, that the principal point shall be pursued
by the without any remissness, and in the like manlier,
most coutbrinable to. your original institutions; but it is for
your Committee to determine in what degree they are
.prac-
ticable, considering the situation of alrairs, anti dispositions
of persons in the interior.
s I have touched on the subjea, I, shall add, by way of
a iswer to an article in one of your last Bulletin , that I know
very well that every thing is decided in the secret Cabinet of

NI. Cloud ; but that I also know that the measures and.ex:
ecution must necessarily he cunfided to the Bureaus, and that
they are consequently able to furnish a very exact idea of
what is doing, and.what may be done.
I have not the smallest knowled,;e of Mr. TALON : and I
repeat to you, I have no connexion with any agency in l'arnt
except yuut's. 1 do not say I have 1,0 correspondence. I
must have that, to be the better enabled to asceetain their
cxattn..:ss of the reports, by comparing them with one ano-,
thOr.

Your Committees may make use of the Channel of I . . . .
