PISRESMOI7III, Ms lieu 15.—8 y the Success transport, which
left Barbadoes on the 13th ultimo, we learn that Commodore
OWEN'S squadron had been separated in a heavy gale off Lisbon,
in consequence of which the Foists, Sir Tnoaas Cocas/M ;
Ileums Captain Leen' ; Emelt, Captain LAWRENCE; and Va-
toaous, Captain MURRAY, arrived at Barbadoes before the Com-
modore, and immediately began refitting and watering. On the ,
arrival of the Commodore, the aboVe ships, with the SCRINAM,
Captain Caotz, and 'coatis, Captain Warms, on the West
Iddia station, were ordered instantly to sea, with sealed orders,
and at sun-set they were nearly out of sight, steering different
courses. The Commodore in the GLOUCESTER, with the Paws.
two, Captain &SUET. were refitting in Carlisle Bay, Barbadoes,
and anxiously looking for a cutter from England; they were
telegraphing every sail that hove in sight. The French squadron
had sailed three days prior from Martinique, consisting of a flush
64, with a round stem, and nine other sail—destination un-
known. Commodore °Wm's, squadron suffered severely in the
gale oif Lisbon ; the Ottnrcsstaa, Pict:row, Baxter; and
Votonous, had lost various spars; they were thirty.nine days
on the passase. The squadron was in perfect health, as were
also the different islands and the troops ;—the last year was
particularly healthy, and every promise of a good crop this year.
—The Packet from England had been due ten days.—Letters
quitted Barbadoes on the 13th ult. to follow the Parka at St.
Thomas's, for England. Lieutenant Csioncu, Commander of
the Success transport, has brought home dispatches from Com-

DEAT II or EtaL ST. VINCENT AND LoRDKEITII..
Dvath is busy in our high places. We have this day to as-
flounce the decease of two of the oldest Admirals in the iirideh
Navy—men who for a long series of years, we had almost ear
for generations, contributed to maintain that maritime suprosobsy
which Britons have so long possessed as to consider it a portion
of their birth-right. The intelligence of the death of Earl St.
V.:scrim and Lord KIITH readied the Admiralty yesterday from
two parts of the Empire considerably distant.
Earl Sr. Vnteaer, G. C. B. died on the 13th instant, at his
country seat at Rochetts, near Brentwood. His Lordship, who

miral, April 12, 1794; Admiral, Feb. 14, 1799; and Admiral
of :he Fleet, July 19, 1821. His Lordship was also appointee
General of the Royal Marines, May 7, 1614. When on gainim
the victory from which he derived his title it wis proposed
raise Admiral Sir Jolts Jesus to the Peerage, he wished to P-
the title of Karl of Plymouth; but he was told that it
thought, a more honourable distinction would be to give him
name Where he bad gained his greatest triumph. " Well,"
the gallant Admiral, I cutout object this; but the title of
Vincent belongs to every Miter and man in the fleet, as Well a
myself." His Lordship is succeeded in the title by his relative,
l ow Ricaares, Esq. Barrieterat Law.
Admiral the Right Hon. Viscount Krim, K.e.B. and F._
died at his seat near Kincardine, North Britain. Hi( Lordship
was made a Post Captain, 'March 11, 1775; a Rear-Admiral,
April 12, 1794; a Vice-Admiral, June 1, 1795; and an
miral, Jan. 1, 1801. His Lordship was in the 79th year of
age. . The titles we believe. becatnes extinct.

Gum., commanding the Rnyal Engineers, at Sierra Leone.

COURT OF CHANCERY-TUTS DAY.

LORD PORTSWOUTIL

,

I

&love the sitting of the Courts the LORD CifAit.
*ALLOWS Secretary in lunatic cases informed the S.„
licitor for the late Commission de lunatic° inquire. 44.'
on the above Nobleman, that the Cst ANCELLt.a wool&
hear the appliCatl?n for an ad interim Committee of
the person of the Noble. Earl, on Tuesday next. 1161,
case, at presents is somewhat singularly situated, k
the Solicitor to the above Commission retommendhi
that a petition should be presented, in the usual forii
to the LORD Citakno.aLtpas praying that a commie*
of the person, as one result of the verdict by
the Noble Earl had been found non comps menqii
might be appointed; and the LORD CHANCELA
had made, upon that petition, the usual order; whia
was, to refer it to the Master of the Court to appoix
a proper person for that purpose ; but, for some real
son. or other which does not appear, that order hit
not been acted upon ; so that this application for tie
appointment of a committee, ad interim, is become
necessary : the effect which that may possibly pr
duce, it is probable the parties do not allanticip.%
for, if the CHANCELLOR should appoint an interim
Committee of the person of this Noble Earl, that Cnel;
mittee may be continued, whether the parties like it
or not. Meanwhile the care of the person of the Noble
Lord is without due authority, although there is
no doubt that he is under very proper care, fee
lu:1
Mr. Comuz is the Gentleman to , iorn
ho that
lrad c
ge
is entrusted, and he is the Gentleman
care of that Noble Lord in the time of his first wife;
still it is a care for which there is at present no due
authority, nor can there be any such but under the or.
der of the LORD CHANCELLOR ; consequently the ab,.ee
application has become necessary, which, of course,
will probably renew certain topics, of which the Pub
lie have already heard too much.
