PERNAMBUCO, JANUARY Is.
Yesterday the George and the Gambier anchored
off the harbour after havirig been engaged for four
hours with an American schooner, of 14 guns and
Wu men, and they are crippled in their masts and
rigging. In the morning and afternoon of the same
day a considerable firing was heard in front of the
harbour, from which we feared further depredations
on the trade, and we have learnt from the officer of
the Libre Portuguese ship of war, who boarded the
American schooner, that the latter had captured five
days previous a British vessel of 20 guns and 45 men,
a little to the southward of Augustin.
JAN. 17.—The American schooner still hovers off
this harbour. Yesterday a large ship, supposed a
frigate of the same nation, came from the southward
and lies to opposite Olinda.

The Earl of MOIRA and the outward-bound India
Fleet, under convoy of the STIRLING CASTLE, sailed
yesterday from Portsmouth for their destination.

One of the foreigners who lately landed at Deal,
and was reported to be the bearer of some important
communications from the population of North Hol-
land, has been re-embarked back on board the
TICKLER cutter, to be relanded on the Dutch coast.
He was not permitted since his arrival to leave the
Three Kings Inn, at Deal.

MaNsimi-Housx.--The Bridewell and Christ-
Church Hospital boys were admitted yesterday to the
Mansion-house, according to annual custom, to see
the Egyptian-hall, with the ornaments and decora-
tions as fitted up for the dinner the day before. They I
walked with their Beadles and Nurses through the
grand saloon, where the Lord Mayor, the Recorder,
Sheriffs, and Aldermen were seated, with the Lady
Mayoress and several other Ladies. Each boy re-
ceived a shilling, or a sixpence from the Lord Mayor,
according to their respective merits, with a bun and a
glass of wine. After this ceremony, the Lord Mayor,
Sheriffs, &c. went in state to Christ Church, where
they heard an excellent sermon. They then returned
to the Mansion-house, where the Lord Mayor enter-
tained a large party to dinner. At night the Lady
Mayoress had a select party to cards and supper.
THEATRICALS.—Drury-lane Theatre will close for
the season the second week in June, Covent-Garden
in about ten days after. The Haymarket Theatre
opens at the usual period, with nearly the same Com-
pany as last year, at the head of which are the names
of MATHEWS, JONES, and TERRY. To the female list
some effective strengh is added. The Ofieratical per.
formances at the Lyceum do not, we understand,
commence until after the close of New Drury'ptevious
to the season 1814. The Lyceum is to be rebuilt.
Four plans have been made, one for the PRINCE RE-
GENT, the other three for the Lord Chamberlain, the
Earl of Exemit, and the Proprietors. The Earl of
EXETER, as ground-landlord, is to advance 820,000,
0 Mr. ARNOLD £BOOO, Major PYZ sl3OOO, Mr. RAY-
MOND .10000, and se6ooo more to be raised amongst
the Tradesmen to be employed : total 4340,000, the
estimate for completing the whole. It is to be
nearly on the plan of the Plymouth Theatre, the roof
of which is cast iron. The names of the above sub-
scribers are the only ones that appear, but it is pretty
Istrongly believed that another Gentleman is behind
the curtain.

POM6IITH.APRIC 19.
- . • ,
Arrived Yesterday, the American schooner Caro-
line, of and from New Orleans, with co)onial produCe,
bound to Bourdeadx, captured by the Manus. frigate.
The Caroline is a neat little 'Vessel of her class, and a
Letter of Martine. On the 17th of March she cap-
tured,thc TWo Brothers ship, of Boiton, from Charles-
ton, with ricr, bound to. Cadiz, which was soon af-
terwards recaptured by the Bootle; Letter of Marque,
belonging to Liverpool; and sent for that port; where,
we understand, she has arriied. The Caroline also
captired on her passage the brig Active, of Poole;
from Cadiz, with wine and wool, bound to Liverpool,
which she sent for Auierica ; and the transport brig
Jenny, of Scarborough, from Lisbon, in ballast, or-
dered home to be repaired ; the latter being in a
leaky state, Was given up to her crew. Saturday last,
the Lizard bearing South-West, distant about twenty
leagues, the Caroline fell in and communicated with
the Cerberus brig privateer, belonging to this port, .T.
TREGOWETH master, when a frigate was discovered in
chase of them, which soon came up with and took pos-
session of the privateer, and afterwards made all sail
after the Caroline, which succeeded in escaping : from
the, dirty appearance of the frigate, it is supposed she
came from abroad, and one of those that have been
cruizing on the African coast, which some time since
attacked the AMELIA ; she had French colours hoisted,
and it is reported, passed up Channel. The Favou-
RITE sloop of war, in the Sound, is appointed to take
trade- from hence to the Eastward, which she will
protett as far as Portsmouth.—Arrived the RESOLUTE
gun-brig, with six sail of merchantmen under her
convoy from Ireland ; also arrived the BITTERN sloop
of war, from Liverpool.
