The Cork Advertifer Rates, that the French priva.

Gamin ta'sfquadron, isnot the veffel at fira imagin-
ed ; the belonged to St. Maloes, was formerly the
King George packet of Litton, mounts 18 grins,
to men, alt of whom are French. She had been
out one month without fuccefs, but on a former
cruize . had captured five Guineamen ; fhe is well
fouhd in every thing, and valued at 30001. The not-
ed la Brave belongs to Bourdeaux, mounts 4z guns,
and is raid to contain Soo men ; during her left cruize,
his MAJISTT'S fliip la Loma bad the fortune to fall
in with her, and exchanged a few (hots, but from a
prefs of ail, flirting her main mall, which enabled the
privateer to cream.
'Tote Teats Lazes or Cassia/mi.—Among the
'holiday occurrences at Greenwich, a angular wager
was laid at the. fign of the There Leeks pablic:houfe
in that Wan. A well informed old petitioner had
,gathercd homber of apprentices and holiday folks
around him, by relating. in an audible voice, the
fervice he had fen defending his country, and the
many inflames he had witnetTed of the honours paid
the Briti(h flag. The landlord, thinking his volubi-
lity more noify than neceffary, checked him rather
abruptly, on which the old veteran, in his turn, made
Come harfh remarks at the erpence of the landlord,
called him an untutored cockney, and offerkd to lay
any wager he did not know the origin of the fign of
his door poll. •The latter, incenfed at (itch infinua-
tions, ezpreffed his readings to accept any wager,
that his fign admitted of no other conflruihon than
the figures painted on it, namely, Three Green Gar-
den Leeks, provided the bet was depofited in the
hands of a by-Dander. The penfioner acceded to the
propofal, and produced a guinea, which was flaked
with the landlord's, and contented to forfeit it, it he
did not produce a document to prove the origin of
the fign; he then went out, and fliortly returned
with an old ballad, almoft obfolete, which celebrated
the valour and patriutifm of three perfons formerly
refiding at Greenwich, named Lel r., the father and
two tons, who were on board a Ihip called the Royal
Prince, in the reign of CHARLES 1. when (he was at-
tacked at fea by three Dutch vetrels of fuperior
force, and in the gallant defence made by the Eng.
lifh, every officer on board the veffel was killed, but
JOHN Less, the Boatfwain, who immediately took
the command, called his two fins to talk him in,
bravely refilling the enemy, and addreffing the cress'.
animated them fu much by his courage and be-
haviour, that they returned ro their guns with loch
intrepidity, that the three Dutchmen were obliged
to Otter off. The Le is thus ha•ing Caved one of
the KIMG'S (hips from the enemy, brought her into
port, where they were rewarded for their br 'very.
Lest., the Boatfwain, was made Gunner of Eng
land, and his Inns officer: of rank in the navy : they
afterwarns lived near the public houfe, the iign of
which Lad been changed by ignorance from The
Three Valiant Leeks to the Thiee Green Leeks, of
Greenwich. 'the arbitrators iit the bet having es•
amined the ballad, were of opinion the penfhiner had
u ; the guinea was therefore given to the old
fa'dor, who immediately galled for a bowl of punch
with the money, inviting his miioiinry to drink to
litzmdry of 7Le liras Lc:* Greens‘..e.
