Sir Pueyeen't Mat-come is to rrocced immediately
to take the command in the Scheldt. No Officer
above the rank (•1 Commander, we understand, can
be emplewed in the service which has been assigned
to him, li;:cause it would interfere with the more im-
portant Commend:ng duties of their gallant associates
of the army. Sir PLLTNEY, it is expected, will hoist
his flag in the Ettenre rocket-ship, Captain BAR•
TUOLOMEW.

The following particulars have transpired respect-
ingg the tapture of the Windsor Castle packet :—She
sailed-from Falmouth 'on the 28th of February:—
On the morning of the 14th of March, being
in lat. 26. long. 19. a *range sail was ditcoeered,
which proved to be the Roger schooner, Captain
Qeaitt.es, carrying 14 guns, viz. ten 12-pound car-
ronades, two long sixes, an 18-pi under, and asi
inch howitzer. Shortly after seven the action com-
menced, and continued an hour and'twenty-five
nutes, when the schooner withdrew from the contest,
and bore away. The next morning at-daylight, the
enemy renewed the action, but after receiving from
the packet a few rounds of grape and cannister,
droltiped astern. About half past eight, however, the
schooner again came up, and another desperate ef-
fort took place .fer three quarters of an hour, when
the Doctor being dangerously wounded, the Master's'
kg broke, one man wounded, and a passenger
brightly by a splinter, the ‘Vindsor Castle was
obliged to submit to the enemy, and strike her co-
lours. The schooner had an officer killed but no
person wounded. She took her prize to Virginia,
where the-passengers were granted their parole.
Two French fishing-beats, on board of which
were 11 Officers, arrived at Hastings on. Friday
cveuing. Tjity had all made their escape from
Dieppe on the preceding night. Soon after their ar-
rival the Mayor issued a Proclamation, to prevent
the landing of any more French persons, but in case
of their appearance in the roads for that purpose, to
send them to the places lately allotted by Goverti-
mem.

By a gmtleman who left Paris last week we are
favoured with the followin4 particulars :—From the
returns male to the War Office, it appears that the
French regular force is composed of 160 Regiments,
each of which is stated to coCsist of tire battalions
of 1000 men. These regiments, it is said, are fully
equipped and completed. About 40,000 of the troops
we called Imperial Guards. Of this force about
3ct.,00J men are with the army it the North. There
is not much said about the cavalry, greater part of
whom are furnished iith the !toms taken front the
zero d'armet. On the 2`2d ultimo BONAPAR llt was to
cave reviewed his troops and the National Guards;
but early in the morning a messenger arrived from
La Vendee, in consequence of which the review was
deferred, and a large force of both infantry and ca.'
?airy, with a great quantity of ammunition, were,
sent off for that province. Considerable Insurrections
also exist is the South of France, fur the suppression
of which many troops have been sent. MUUATI his
w fa,-and family, were reported to have arrived at
Paris. BONAPARTE was expected to depart for tire'
army forthwith, part of his guard having left Paris.
A tax of one-third of the amonq of the rent has been
