A letter 4ated off Pitching, .Inly 7th, says—" The
enemy's ships in Flushing came nut beyond the
shoals this deev, and were very near being brought to
xn action. The whole of our fleet, (with the Rus.
sians) chased close to Tivant:ln's Ridge ; and had it
not been for the weather t:de making (the wind
being S. E.) we should eel tainly hare taken them.
The Impregnable and Corny: ill, with the Jason and
exchanged shot with them. They have four-
teen sail of the line, five ft mates, and 30 brigs, at
Flus';inp."
Captain rillnKF, who has so nobly distinguished
himself in the capture of the Chesapeake, is eldest son
of the late Pottle BIWEs Iltiokr, of Broke's 11411,
Nacten, Suffolk, Esq. a Gentleman who was much
respected throughout that county. Lieutenant-Colonel
Burnie, A. Q. M. C. Fourth Division of the British
Army of Portngal, of whom honourable mention is
made by Field• Marshal WELLINOTON in his late dis-
patches, is blather to the Captain of the SteiNsov.
Captain LAwieNcE, of the American frigate Che-
sapeake, was it is said, a native of Bri<tol, and edu.
caled at Colston's Charity School, in that city. He
had a younger brother, and both were for some time
in the Navy ; but, Leing disappointed in their hopes
of promotion, they went to America, whete they
shortly after obtained the command of gun-boats,
from which Captain LAwitexer was transferred to
the Hornet, and afterwards to the Chesapeake.
Capt:1;11 CARDEN, late of the MACEDONIAN, his Of-
(leers, and crew, have been honourably acquitted of
the Ids of that ship, in being compelled to strike their
colours to the American frigate United States, after
a gallant action.
The partial victories of the American ships at the
commencement of hostilities over the British frigates,
are said to be attributable, in a great measure, to an
improvement in their shot. The cartridge (instead
of bag made tip in canvas:) is ascevained to have
been cased with lead. This enables them, it seems,
to load with greater dispatch, and to fire with addi.
tional effect—hence the destructive havock of their
broadsides. The Commissioners of the Admiralty
ate nose in full possession of all the circumstances,
which are stated to have been communieated by a
Lieutenant of our Navy. Such, it is rumoured, are
the consequences attached to this discovery, that the
Officer who made it, and gave the important infor-
mation, h:, very properly, by way of reward, been
prom,aed by their Lordships to the command of a
