LONDON, JULY 26, 1804.

WI yesterday acquainted our Readers that ac.
counts had been received at the India House, of
an Engagement having taken place between the
homeward-bound China, Fleet and tht Squadron
under the command of Admiral Lugo's. We arc
happy to have it in our power to confirm fully
this most important and pleasing intelligence.—
The Mlion lasted some time with great warmth ;
at length LINOISI finding the attempt hopeless,
was glad to escape himself, instead of taking
any of our Ships. His Vessels were so much
shattered in the Engagement, that they are eirec.
tually disabled, for some time at least, from at.
tempting any further depredations on our Corn.
melte. It has been stated in some of the Pa.
pers., that the Centurion, of p guns, was probably
with the China Fleet at the time of the Aaiun ;
but we have the strongest reasons for believing that
that was not the case. Indeed we arc convinced
there could not possibly have been any Man of
War with the Fleet, as the monsoon was diredly in
the teeth of a Ship sailing from Madras or Bombay,
where the whole of Admiral RAINIER'S Fleet was
in January last, except a few that were cruizing in
the Bay of Bengal. The whole merit, therefore,
of this most 'gallant achievement, belongs to the
Officers and Crews of the Indiamen; and when it is
considered with what disadvantage Ships deeply
laden contend against vessels construCted solely for
the purposes of War, this Vklory must be allowed
to add greatly indeed to our Naval reputation.

BY Letters received from the Cape of Good
Hope, of the ad of May, brought by the Ma-
tilda Transport, it appears, that of the Dutch
Vessels at the Cape, one only had her lower deck
guns in and full complement of men ; that the
Bat° and Nut. were armed en fate, and that they
were all quietly lying in Simon's Bay, without any
intention of going out to truize ;but that Suicorp,
with a very strong Privateer, was cruizing off
St. Helena. The Troops at the Cape, about 1700,
were in a state of great insubordination ; frequent
Mutinies had taken place, and in one of these the
Coininandant, Harm 1, a Frenchman, had been
wounded. Many had been executed from time to
time, and three of the Roars were condemned to be
shot when the Matilda left the place. The inhabi,
tants in general were dissatisfied, and anxiously
waiting the arrival of a British Squadron. Eight
Dutch Batavia Shies, laden with spices and pepper,
from Batavia, were shut up in Heat Be, hitherto
unfrequented by large Ships. Under these dram
stances, how easy a Conquest would this valuable
Settlement prove to the British Arms !

WI! +,tated yesterday, that Letters had been re.
ceived announcing that an Insurreetion had broken
out in New S)uth Wales, which, by the vigilance
and atlivity of the,Governor, had been completely
suppressed. We are enabled this day to lay before
our Readers the official account of this event. Every
thing was readily tranquil when the Calcutta
sailed.

THE present COntelit for Middlesex it really one
of the most important 'of the kind that ever a-
s:Jr& the attention of the People. On 'one side

I U

habe'been objects of the reasonable suspicion of Go.
!rnmeni ve; and who narrowly escaped the Sword of the
1.1.,itv.: ft would be absurd to suppose that any of these
I,
men ItitVe been refOrmed by the danger from which
they have escaped, and it is rather to be supposed
'that'prosecution has embittered their feelings and
incritased their rancour against that ConstifutiOn-
: which they vainly attempted` to overthrow. Sir
FlCAt•idis Biritos'ri is the mere dupe of such men,
anti they only hope to render their principles
triumphant in his success. When we see that
:the dreadful warning of France, which, after
all its struggles' for LibertY, is more enslaved than
ever, and debated by foreign usUrpition, has no
• dna on such men,• what can be thought of them,
, .
but
.that,they are incorrigibly desperate in the cause
of Revolutions. If such men could effectually tri.
utnph, the stream of blood Would' flow, and 114
'British Constitution would be at an end. The
other Candidate is unexceptionable in his private
charatter, and admired for abilities, as well as re.
spefted for loyalty and a firm attachment to the
British Constitution. The safety of the State,
therefore, as well as the honour of the County,
is concerned in this Eledion, and every honest
Englishman ought heartily to co-operaie in endea-
vouring to support that Candidate who is supported
by men of real respeelability and true Constitutional
principles, otherwise this great Empire may in due
time sink into a miserable dependence on Gallic

By the returns made to Lord HAwicasatrity's
Office, it appears that upwards of coo persons in
the different prisons in the United Kingdom, have
received Hts MArasTv's most gracious pardon, on
condition of serving in the Ryyai Nivy, and that
they have been received and placed on board the
spediVe Ships of War. •
Yesterday a Court of Direilors wal held at the
East India House, when Capt. MITAGGARTt of the

The last accounts from Jamaica, mention the
melancholy fare'of Capt. BAKER, of His Majesty's
Sloop the Pelican, on the 9th of June last, who was
drowned in Morant Bay, in the gallant and humane
attempt to save The Crew of a Spanish Schooner
which fell on board the Sloop. • This objed lie
effected, but became a sacrifice to his zeal in ac-
complishing it. The Schooner sunk, and in the ad
of sinking caught the boat Capt. BAKE R was in
under her mainstay, and took her to the bottom.

On Monday evening as two young men were
firing at a mark in a field near the New

taken ifito custody, and was yesterday brought be.
fore the Magistrates at Marlhorough.street Police
Office. The Sageon who attended the girl, de.
scribed tte nature of, the wound, which was but
slight. He, however, charged two guineas for his
trouble. The young girl, considering the affair as
entirely accidental, generously consented to nuke it
op for one guinea.
