YARMOUTH, FEB. 17.
Arrived this morning from a cruise, the Actuttott
frigate and KING GRORGRcutter. Sailed the Pitmen
OF 'WALEs in pursuit of an enemy's cruiser. During
the cruise of the Vixsti, Lieut. WRIGHT, which ar-
rived here yesterday, she, on the 13th inst. fell is
with, off Flambro' Head, the Betsey, of and from
Shields, with the loss of her bowsprit and foremast,
by a ship running on board her, and was drifting from
land when the VIXEN took her in tow to the mouth of
the Humber, where she left her safe at anchor. The
Industry, of and from Boston, (in England) JOHR
GARNER master, with wheat and oats, bound to Lon-
don, having received some damage, the crew deserted
her off Lowestoft; she has since been picked up by
a Lowestoft pilot-boat, and brought into this port,

The Arcadia, SMzx.uz, from Nova Scotia to the
Clyde, (mentioned yesterday to have been captured
by' the French privateer Gazelle, of 14 guns,) has
been retaken by his Majesty's slip PERSIAN, and is
arrived at Dartmouth.
The Countess of Harcourt ship, recently from Ba.
Livia, brings intelligence from thence of rather an
unpleasant nature. l'he people, it is said, have had
several disputes with oar troops, and blood has been
spilt on both sides. We are sorry to state, that it has
been found necessary to cause several persons to bs
executed. All the British troops bad left Batavia,
for India, except about 5000.

By a private ship which has arrived at Leith we
learn that the Danes are all activity on the coast of
Jutland ; and after ineffectual endeavours to conceal
their purpose, it is now fully disclosed. About fifty
gun boats and other vessels are already completely
armed and equipped, to convey a considerable force
for the recapture of Anholt. It is the most favburable
interval for their purpose, on account of the necessary
absence of the British navy from the Cattegat ; but
we trust in the valour of the garrison, which was on
la former occasion so eminently displayed.
