On the r9th tilt. the Royal Sovereign, Captain
MALcoLm, arrived at Gibraltar from Admiral
CORNWALLIS'S Fleet, after a- passage of' eight days.
She was to sail in a few days to join Lord NEL-
SON'S Fleet.

The Sloop P;lfour of Newburgh, JOHN WHITE
master, arrived at Kingoody, on the 13th, after be-
ing chased by a French Privateer, on the 7th be-
tween Orford Ness and Lowestofit ; Capt. WHITE
was determined rather to run ashore than be taken.
He was v ithin pistol-shot for one and twenty mi.'
nutes, the French' calling to haul down his sails,
and keeping sip a brisk fire of musketry, with some
great guns all the time : about so of the musket:.
shot went through the sails, and in the hull, and
shot away the gaff-top-sail-sheet ; they then hoist-
ed their boat and tackle for boarding ; by that time'
the P;tfyur was 'within two fathoms water, and
heard the 'Frenchman at the lead call out three
fathoms. They then stood out for sea, or in one
minute both ships would have been ashore. In going
through Yarmouth Roads same day about ten o'clock,
Capr. `Vu rfe hailed the Admiral, gave him, in-
formation of the above, to which he paid great
attention.

It appears by letters from Copenhagen, of the
3d inst. tiaat the report from Bergen. respating the
arrival of several Dutch Armed Vessels and Troops
is so far incurs-ea, that these Ships, four in number,
viz. the Corvette the Spy, 18
.guns, 8o men, the
Schboner the Wolf, 8 guns, 46 men, the Schneuffe-
leer, 8 guns, 4.6 men, and the Cutter the Lioe, 28
guns, 24,3 men, did not arrive together, hut one
after another in Bergen, and are already nearly..dis-
mantly.d. • The Crews are returned to Holland.—
They had no Troops. An English 44.gim Frigate
lies also in Bergen.

By the:accounts from Calcutta of the 6th August,
it appears that the Government there had taken
up .several ships of large burden, for the. purpose of
conveying troops on some expedition. Among the
ships taken up ate the Britannia, Hope, Myrtle, and
Triton, being nine in all. The period was three
months, and the terms liberal. These vessels for a
short distance could carry s or to,Ooo men. It is
supposed that tl•:e objet of the Expedition was the
reinforcement of our forces in Ceylon, where the
late disasters had greatly reduced our power, and
exposed our remaining stations to great hazard.
On Thursday last, at Epworth, Lincolnshire,
there was one of the most terrible storms of thunder
and lightning, attended with heavy rain and hail,
during the time it lasted, ever witnessed. We ate
happy, however, to find that no damage was done.
