lof Tipperary, one of Mr. BAGWELL'S agents, a mes-
sage from Mr. SADLIER ensued, and, notwithstand-
ing some ineffectual attempts of the She: if, and the
'wet weather, the parties had a meeting at Two-Mile-
-Bridge, at two o'clock. They fired at the distance of
10 paces, and had prepared for another shot, when
the friend of Mr. SADLIER (the cliallenm) came for-
ward to request that Mr. SCULLY and Mr. SADLIER
should both come forward together and shake hands.
This was assented to, and the affair terminated with-
out farther explanation. A numerous assemblage of
spectators loudly cheered Mr. SCULLY upon his leaving
the ground with his friends. Mr. SADLIER'S friend
was Captain HAMERSLEY, and VALENTINE MAHE.R,
Esq. accompanied by GEORGE LSDWILL, Esq. at-
tended on the opposite side.

I Yesterday, at a Court of Common Council held at
Guildhall, Mr. Deputy Box offered a motion to the
Court, which arose from the circumstances eithe glo-
rious victory at Salamanca. A sword, he said, had
already been voted to the Marquis of 'Wet.itkaion,
of the ealue of 200 guineas ; the thanks of the Court
had also been unanimously voted to him ; and be now
rose to move that the Freedom of the City should be
voted to him in a gold bost'of the value of 200 gui-
neas, and that it should be Presented to him on his
return by a Committee then to be appointed..—The
motion was seconded and agreed to. 1
Man, RODBEttr.-Tt is rather an extraordinary cir-
cumstance connected with the robbery of the Leeds
Mail-coach, that an interval of nearly three days
shoold pass without the occurrence of a single fact
that can lead to a discovery of the robbers, or throw
any light upon the mysterious transaction, unless the
folloiving can be considered as of that description :
'On Tuesday, about noon, the guard, accompanied
by two Bow,street officers, set out from town for the
place where the robbery was nottosed to have been
committed. On reaching Bedtord, they obtained
information that three men of a suspicious appear-
anee, with a light caravan, had been seen in that and
other towns on the route of the mail-coach, for se-
veral days previous to the robbery. The officers,
proceeded northwards in the track of the caravan,
but had heard no farther tidings of it so late as Wed,-
nesday morning. A report was prevalent in the city,
that all the bags, with a considerable part of the
letters and property, had been found in fields near
the road-side, about mid-way between Kettering and
Higbam Ferrers. This report proved to be un-
founded. We formerly stated, that the guard de-
clared that be was not more than five'sninutei in the
act of leaving over the roof and conversing with the
coachman ; and that, in this interval, the 16 bags
were abstracted • but whether be affirmed the same
in his deposition before the Lord Mayor, the examina-
tion being private, we have Rot the means el asaer.

! To Sir I Amep SAtne A ailes , Bart. K.B. Vice.AdMiral of the Red,
and Cernmander in Chief of a Squadron of his Majesty's ships
and vessels employed On a partkular service.
Sta—l am sorry of being under the disagreeable
andpAful necessity of transmitting to you, for the
' infOrtnatibn of my Lords Commissioners of the Ad-
miralty, the particulars of the capture of his Ma-
jesty's brig the Attack, late under my command, in
an action with the Danish flotilla.
In pursuance of the direction of CaptainChethants'
of his Majesty's ship Hamadryad, on Sunday; the
16th instant, I proceeded off Rander's Fiord, for the
purpose of recalling theWrangter and Hamadryad's
barge and cotter; and on Tuesday, the 18th instant,
having performed that service, and taken the barge
in tow, and being en my return to join the squadron
off Sayer at eleven o'clock p. m. Foreness bearing
W. N. W. about six or seven miles, with light dins
from the It.N.E. and at intervals cairn, we observed
two boats, which I supposed to be gun-vessels, in
that direction. I cleared for action, and in abiut
twenty minutes they commenced a very heavy can-
nonading upon us. Owing to the darkness of the
I night I could not then ascertain their number, But
from the heavy fire I teceived, apparently from ten
or twelve gun-vessels ; we immediately returned their
fire, and continued engaging them until 4b minutes
past one o'clock, when they ceased firing, and, as I
have since found, were joined by another divisionrof
gun-vessels, who I had observed firing at theWrang-
gler ;—a light breeze springing ups I immediately
endeavoured to avail myself of the opportunity of
closing the Wrangler, and got out the sweeps, and
ordered the barge a-head to tow for that purpose;—
but owing to a strong current from the S.E. and it
again falling calm, I found it impracticable. I shortly
after lost sight of the Wrangler.
We employedourselves in knotting and splicing
the rigging, the sails, standing and running rigging,
being entirely cut to pieces, the main-boom shot
away, the gaff down, the foremast and bowsprit
nearly gone, two guns dismounted, and a great num-
ber of shot between wind and water.
' At ten minutes past two, the whole having formed
a crescent upon our la(board beam, bow, and quar-
ter ; and by so doing, keeping us between themselves
and the shore; then commenced the action, with a
heavy file of round, grape, and grenadoes, within
' pistol-shot. I continued engaging them until 20
minutes past three o'clock, when it being still quite
calm, the brig a complete wreck, quite unmanageable,
and in a sinking state, I was reluctantly compelled to
surrender to their very superior force, conceiving any
farther resistance, when there was not a possibility of
an escape, Would be a vain sacrifice of my brave crew.
I have to regret to state the loss of two brave men
killed, and twelve wounded, several of them dan-
gerously, a list of whom I subjoin ; and I have 'to
thank the ALMIGHTY no more of them fell, under so
severe a fire. As to the loss of the enemy, they stu-
diously avoided my gaining any information of it.
When the force opposed to us is considered, fourteen
gun-vessels, mounting two 24-pounders, and two hov
witzers, and a complement of from 85 to 70 men
each, besides four large row-boats, carrying swivels
and howitzers, and I having only 49 men, including
the Hamadryad's boat's crew, (Mr. Cuney, the mas
ter, with eight men, having been previously captured-,
whilst rowing guard off Flielam, and an officer and
six men being with a prize in England) that' I dobbt
not to prove- to the satisfaction of my King and coun-
try, I had no alternative left—and, if it is possible a
doubt can exist of my not maintaining the honour of
the British flag to the utmost, I beg lea?e to transmit
