FROM THE KINGSTON CHRONICLE, OF OCTOBER 15.

A letter from Montego Bay, dated the 11th in-
stant, says—' There is a privateer off Lucca, which
has this day plundered the sloop Endeavour, Captain
llanlin, just off the Harbour's mouth, of all her
&c. ecc.'
44 Another letter, of the same date, from Lucca,
statcs-4 We are now troubled with the Saucy Jack
'privateer on the coast, the Captain of which has said
he will cut out the ship True Briton, Captain Wil-
liams ; but I hope he will be disappointed : he stood
in this morning close to the fort, and took a dagger ;
the Contest brig of war went out, but stood no
chance with her.' "

STATE OF THE KING'S Hui:mi.—Yesterday the
following monthly report of the Physicians U'AS exhi-
bited at St. James% Palace :

" WINDSOR CASTLE, DEC. 3.

ag His MAJESTY has been uniformly composed
through the last month, but without any alteration in
the state of his disorder."

Lord ARTHUR SOMERSET came passenger in
LIFFEY frigate, which arrived on Monday at Ports-
mouth from Quebec. His Lordship left Sir Geostoe
PnEvosT's head-quarters on the sth uh. but we un-
derstand his Lordship's dispatches were only dupli-
cates of others previously received, no event having
occurred, since the affair of Plattsburgh, of sufficient
importance to be made the subject of a public com-
munication to Government. We learn by the LIFFEY,
that Sir JAMES Yzo, having got the ST. LAWRENCE
(his large ship) ready for sea, left Kingston with the
whole of his squadron, and cruized round the Lake
—Commodore CHAUNCEY having retired into Sackett's
Harbour. That on the 2d ult. Sir J. YEo again put
to sea, for the head of the Lake, having 1200 troops
on board his fleet, and a quantity of provisions and
supplies, for the relief of General DRCSIMOND'S army
on the frontiers of Niagara. This reinforcement of
troops to General DRUMMOND had become necessary
by the junction of the armies under Generals Izattio
and BROWN, whose united force being opposed to Ge-
neral DRUMMOND, prevented him from every active
operation ; besides, the army was in great distress for
previsions. Commodore CHAUNCEY was strongly for-
tifying Sackett's Harbour ; the number of troops in the
garrison, it WAS understood, was considerable, and 2000
men were daily expected from the States. It had been
ascertained that he drew rations for 20,000 men, but
a great number of these were non-combatants-:-arti-
ficers of various descriptions. From these circum-
stances, and the advancement of the_season, it was ge-

lierally supposed, that Sir JAMES Yeo would not
able to do more this year than convey the necessary
supplies across the Lake to General DRUMMOND*
