Capt.Woonat rr, who fo gallantly defended the Cal.
cutta, and who was taken prifoner and fent to Verdun,
has recently returned to England. The manner of his
enlargement is fingular: CaptainW. had made feveral
applications to TA L L ERRAND to procure his releafe,
but without fuccefs. Some time in the lag month,
however, he received an order, figned by BON I rear a,
in Poland, direaing him to proceed immediately to
England, and to take the route of St. Maloes, a town
1 whith on Englifhman is permitted to enter. On
Captain W.'s arrival at this place, he found his let-
ters forwarded, by the French G ,vernment, which
had been directed to Verdun.—At St. Malnes Capt.
W. proceeded to engage a velrel, or cartel, to convey
him to England, for which he experfted to pay 40 or
p guineas ; but was there told that a veffel was
prrvided for him by the French Government, free
of every expence whatever. Our Government not
to be outdone in this unexpeEted generofity on the
',Art of the enemy, immediately releafed a French
ificer of equal rank with Captain W. who has been
fence returned to France, on terms of coital liberality.
