.A letter twin a Gentleman on board the ship
Fingal, of )3ellast, dated Gibraltar, June ‘.?7, con-
tains the following intelligence relative to the out.
rageous conduct oof a party of Moors :—" Just as
e were entering the Gut, a heavy gale from the
eastward obliged us to stand fur Cape Sparta, on
the African Coast, where we Catne 10 anchor. Two
passengers, Mr. ROBLNSoN' and Mr. M`GILLIGAN,
and myselt, with tour hands, went ashore in the
boat. We had not been lung ashore when the
Moors came down and fired on the boat. M'G.
one man, and myself, were at ;his'time a little up
the country, but alarmed at the firing, ran down
to the beach, when we perceived our companions
rowing off, and we were obliged to conceal our-
selves among the rocks all night. At day-light, we
were surprised by the Moors corning down. upon us,
so that our last elfbrt was to swim off to some fish-
ing bouts, which lay about a mile and a halt from.
the shore, w hich I accomplished after being about
an hour and a halt in the water ; but I arn sorry to
say, M‘GILLIGAsr sunk along side of me ; t:►e man
lett behind, we suppose, has been taken prisoner ;
one of the boys, named ANDREW ADAMS, was shot
on the beach."

The preparations for receMng BOONAPARTE in
Holland, we are informed by a Gentleman who left
that country a few days ago, are carried on with
extraordinary activity, and on a scale Of expense
that will bear heavily upon the inhabitants. Some
hunched of artisans of various kinds were emplcyed
to render the palace, appointed for 'his residence, as
magnificent and commodious as possible. Several
houses had been rased, for the purpose-of•enlerging
and improving the view from thence. The accom-
modation and satisfaaion of BUONAPARTE were not
alone consulted, but care was also taken to provide
for the personal convenience of those who May ac-
company him in his journey. Bills were affixed to
several houses belonging to persons of the first can-
-sideration, stating, " tint their fin met occupiers had
bean abliged to remote, for the purpose of accorn-
modating the Emperor's suite !"
A young Naval Lieutenant lately wrote a letter to
Mr. YoRKE, First Lord of the Admiralty, otfermg
him tuOul. to get him made Comminder. It, is
needless to say that the latter was much exasperated
at this insulting propositon. In consideration of the
inexperience of the applicant, however, he did not
strike his name off the list altogether, but dispatched
a letter to Sir EDWARD PELLEW, desiring him to
summon the youngster before him, and after a se-
vere reprimand, to place tutu at the bottom of the
list.
