LEITH, JANUARY 0.

The FERRET sloop of war, which sailed from Leith
Roads on Wednesday last, was lost the day follow-
ing off North Shields. All the crew were saved.
Sailed from Leith Roads, yesterday morning, the
RIFLEMAN sloop of war, for Portsmouth, being or-
dered off the Leith station.
The Cuo sloop of war arrived in Leith Roads

GREENOCK, JANUARY 6.

Arrived here yesterday the Jenny, BRUCE. from
Honduras. She sailed from thence on the 12th Sep-
tember, under convoy of his Majesty's brig Frolic—
parted from the fleet on the 28th. On the 2d Oc-
tober saw a strange sail bearing towards her, shewing
Spanish colours ; but which afterwards took them

down and hoisted American. The Jenny gave the
privateer a broadside, with which she sheered off,
making all sail possible to get clear. The Jenny
reached the Havannah on the 6th, and sailed from
thence on the 22d November, in company with seve-
ral sail of Spanish ships, bound for Cadiz, and the
brig Patriot, HUGHES, of and for Belfast—parted
with the former two days, and the latter three days
after sailing. A Gentleman who came passenger in
the Jenny, from the Havannah, reports, that the ship
Lord Cranstone was daily expected at the Havannah,
from Trinidad (in Cuba), and from thence to pro-
ceed to London.

JANUARY B.—Arrived this day, at Holy Loch,
quarantine station, the Tom Barry, BUCHANAN, from
Malta ; and Lavinia, 800, from Alicant. The fol-
lowing vessels sailed from the Havannah on the .sth
November, in company with the ARETHUSA frigate :
Olive Branch, FORD, from Jamaica ; Nile, JOHNSON,
from Honduras ; Abraham Newland, Rows ; all for
London ; and the Ann, APPLETON, for Liverpool.
The ARETHUSA returned next day, and after victual.
ling, sailed again on the 12th for Vera Cruz, to take
on board money for Cadiz. Accounts were received
here on Wednesday, per packet, that a small home-
ward-bound fleet had assembled at St. Thomas's, and
would sail from thence on the 29th November. The
Nereid, ORR ; and Sir Edward Pellew, M'DONALD,
from Demerara, for this port, were of the number.

Admiral Legg has been succeeded on the Cadiz
station by Admiral Foot; a good stand will of course
continue to be made against the enemy.
MILITARY REBUKE.—A Gentleman, who was en-
deavouring to introduce himself into an assembly of
dancers without a ticket, was significantly told, by an
Officer present, " that every Ball had its Billet."
A Court Martial has been lately held on board the
GLADIATOR, at Portsmouth, to inquire into-the cir-
cumstances attending his Majesty's ship Pembroke
grounding at the back of the Isle of Wight, near
Dunnose, on the 26th ult. The Court, after hearing
Captain BarsuANE's defence, came to a decision—
,, That the accident v:as occasioned by the ship t:ot
being steered far enough to the southward,consider-
ing the hazy state of the weather, and the time of
day the ship was got under way, before the Channel
course was shaped ; but no blame therein was impu-
table to Captain BIWBANR; but that blame was im-
putable to Mr. H. SMARTLY, the Master; but, in
consideration of the excellent professional character
given to him, did only adjudge him to be most se-
verely reprimanded, and to be admonisLed to be
more careful and attentive in future.
