GIBRALTAR, JA:%.UARY

As the Packet was coming out of Malta, she spoke
his Majesty's ship ACTIVE, which had captured the
French frigate la l'omone, of 41 guns, and 350 men,
after a severe action, in which the former had ten.
men killed, and 16 wounded.—We are sorry to find
the name of that highly meritorious Officer, Captain
GennoN, among the latter, having lost his right leg:
the first Lieutenant lost an arm. The Femme was
convoying two armed store-ships at the time of her
capture ; one of which was in company with the Ac-
TIVE when the Packet fell in with her—•the other had
escaped.—We are happpy to have it in our power to
congratulate the public on the capture of the last
among the Venetian frigates, composing the Tyrant's
Adriatic squadron.

The Sandwich packer, Captain Scu'vLEß, has ar-
rived at Falmouth with mails from the Mediterra-
nean : she left Messina on the 25th of December—
Malta the 3d of January, Gergenti the sth, Cagliari
the 9th, and Gibraltar the 27th. This packet con-
firms the account of the capture of the French frigate
Pomone, of 44 guns, and a store ship, by his Majesty's
ships ACTIVE and ALCESTE ; the former bore the
brunt of the action previous to the ALCESTE coming
up, and lost in killed 20, and forty wounded. Cap-
tain,Gottocm iwas shot in the leg in the early part of
the action. The enemy are sup posed to have 150
killed and wounded ; they were from Toulon, bound
to Corfu.

The MALABAR, with a fleet from England, arrived
at Gibraltar on the 29th December—on the 6th inst.
in lat. 38. 26. spolcelthe LEvnEN,with convoy for Eng-.
land. The Prince Adolphus and Nocton packets ar.
rived at Cagliari on the 29th ult.—the former sailed
on the same day for Malta. The Duke of Montrose
packet arrived a: Gibraltar on the 16th ult. ; and on
the 24th, the GANYMEDE, and WEYMOUTH storeship,
with convoy from England. It was reported that
the Queen of SICILY had been deposed, and about 40
Sicilians hanged, for carrying on a correspondence
with the enemy : a Colonel in the French service was
also discovered, and with a Mnnk immediately exe-
cuted. All was quiet in Sicily when the packet came
away.—The names of those who have been executed,
with the particulars of their crimes, will be laid before
our Readers on Monday.

It has been observed in a Morning Paper, that on
Lord MORPECH'S motion, neither Mr. ADAM nor
Colonel M•MAHoa voted. Mr. ADAM certainly could
not have voted, having vacated his seat in Parlia-
ment ; and Colonel M'MAHoN did not vote, because
he paired off with Sir JOHN Mil/PORT.
