A bark hovered off here all this day, made sail to.
wards the road, brought to, fired two guns, and sent
a boat on shore; proVed to be the barque Eunter
taken offliere by the Ravenent, Captain Seacouvr,
on the 6th' instant; he gave her up, saying she was
not worth sending to the island. The Officer re-
ported he had taken the Admiral Aplin, Mangles,
Susanna, Trafalgar, and another, name forgot, and
was, on the 6th, in chase of another vessel going to
the Sand Heads. He said he was is no fear of any
of our frigates raking him but the Caroline.

in these seas, behaved with the greatest kindness to
his prisoners, havinggiven them up every thing,
.ex-
cept their swords. he took their parole, and Lieu-
tenants MACKENZIE and MACDONAGII 'have since ar-

CALINGAPATANI, OCTOBER 7.

We beg leave to inform you, that we are in the
roads, having been put on board the Paria, just arri-
ved, by Captain EPION, of the French frigate Pied-
montese, yesterday, at 10 A.M. We inclose you a
list of the vessels captured by that ship, and the names
of the commanders, and rquest you will have the
goodness to send boats for us.* The Piedmontese
was in sight from us this morning, bearing about
N.E. by N. ; we further beg leave to inform you,
s'nce we were captured by her, she has been cruizing
between the lat. N. 17 and N. 18, 36, and was three
days close in with Vizagapatam, and captured a Da-
nish ship off that port, near enough to have been seen
by those on shore ; the frigate had English colours
flying at the time, and captured all ships excepting the
Udny under that flag. The Piedmontese is a frigate
of the largest dimensions, although she has the appear-
ance of a vessel of much less force: she seldom or ever
shows French colours; she is painted with a broad
yellow streak, fore and aft galleries, and head-rails ;
ports not distinguishable, and has a tong narrow red
vane at the main ; she has topgallanr cross-trees,
but no slidirig sky-sail masts ; a white woman-head,
and rather low,; she has no open gangways, but
filled up fore and aft; her top-gallant sails are very
square, and not much hoist, particularly her mizen
one. On leaving the Isle of France, she had 400
men; but, from manning the different prizes, she has
now about 320, exclusiVe of the Portuguese taken
from the different ships, that have entered or had
been pressed into the service. From what we ob:.
served, we think she does not sail well before the
Wind, but, close-hauled, uncommonly fast. It is
likewise our opinion, from their. having a knowledge
of the Powerful, and other cruizers, being off Cey-
lon, they will.make their passage back to the Isle of
France by the Eastern side of the .bay. .There is.
likewise a privateer, commanded by SURCOUPP, now•
in the bay, that is reported to sail uncommooly fast.-
Weiser communicated every circumstance we are
in possession of, with the hope, that it may , prove
serviceable. We have likewise understood, that two
frigates are expected at the Isle of France, 9f
si;i flat
dimensions to the Piedmontese, called Pltalienne.
and le Sultan.
