side of one Of them, which blew up on receiving j.
first broadside. Rear-Admiral M'Cut.toen was pre-
' paring to attack the other, when he was killed by a
musket ball. A letter from Fort Royal, date 4 Fe.
i hruary 7, mentions this affair in the following ten.s:

a When off Jean Rabel, near Cape Nichols Mole, we met
Young Rosclus and two schooners going to engage the fort it leek
Rabel ; soon after, she began to Ire, sod a schooner that was at
anchor was blown up close adongside the Young Roads& Ihs
must have suffered much in her sails and rigging, and from her
appearance she must have lost many of her crew, They al ap-
peared full of black fellows."

The issue of the contest was the•capture of the fort,
A second' fort was attacked in like mariner, and the
assailants were again successful. Admiral Wu,
urn was buried with great pomp, and all the honours
of war, at Cape Francois.
This affair will probably lead to the discussion of -
a curious question. Had Captain GOODALL a licence
from the King to enter into this fortign sor9kt ? if
not, in what light is his conduct to be•tri&ed ?

less than ten ; such period to be accounted as part a
the twenty-six days exercise required within the year.

On Tuesday morning last, at four o'clock, the Right
Hon. Earl FITZWILLIA3I, accompanied by BRYAN
COOKE, Esq. as his second, and Major BOWER, ac•
companied by Mr. STatxvoitrit, as his second, met.
upon Doncaster Race Ground, for the purpose of
fighting a duel. The challenge was sent by Fiat/
FITZWILLIAII, in consequence of some unwarrantakle
expressions made use of at the last Mahon election,
by Major Bowen, charging his Lordship with having
been guilty of traffritng his Borough of Malton. An
explanation, we are happy to say, took place upon the .
ground, by which extremities were fortunately Fe-
vented, Major BOWER having declared, that the
offensive words had originated in a misconception of
the matter."
IMPRESS WARRANTS.LIERepreseAt4tion having been
made to the Loan MAYOR, that many seamen and
deserters from the Navy had taken refuge in the City,

them to the City Marshals, who, on Wednesday
night, attended by some Constables, and several Of-
ficers in the Impress Service, went to various public-
houses and other places, where they took up be-
tween fifty and sixty men, whom they lodged in the
Compter, and yesterday they were examined at the
Mansion House, when several of them were dis-
charged, being men of good character, who had
never been at sea; and others, as haying protections;
some were remanded till it should be ascertained whe-
ther the account they gave of themselves was correct;
and the remainder were sent on board the Tender,
the Regulating Captain, and several Lieutenants
from which attended. This examination caused an
immense crowd around thp Mansion-house,
princi-
pally consisting of the wives, parents, and relatives
of the parties detained.
