Captain WILLIS, arrived with a fleet from Ply-

Fleets is extended for a few days longer.

The TONNANT, of 80 guns, Lord CocHRANE, and
6PENCER, 74, Captain RAGGE rr, are, we nnderstand,
under orders for Portsmouth, whence they will take
their departure for the North American station.
The EsPout, Captain RUSSELL, has sailed with dis-
patches for Sir A. COCHRANE, ut Bermuda.

Commodore RODGERS was cruizing on the 4th of
January in lat. 13. long. 51. which is precisely in the
track of the merchant ships bound to the Leeward
Islands. He had taken and destroyed the Monti-
cuillo, from the Cape of Good Hope. The Nymph
and Modeste Frerch frigates have also captured seve-
ral West Indiamen.

By the BARBARA schooner, which arrived at Ply-
mouth on Friday last, information has been obtained
that two French frigates, one of which is l'Arethuse,
got out of St. Maloe's on the evening of the 7th inst.
in a heavy snow storm. The BARBARA obtained her
information from the HANNIBAL, 74 guns, Capt. Sir
M. SEYNIOUIt, who was standing under a press of sail,
westward, in pursuit ; and as the frigates were then
only two hours sail a-head of the HANNIBAL, and as
the latter is a good sea-boat, there remains little doubt
of their capture.

On the morning after the action between the
Lv-
ROTAS and Clorinde, the DuNGAitvoN schooner was
seen far to windward ; but on guns being fired, and
signal hoisted, fshe came down immediately ; and on
the Master being requested to keep between the Eu-
ROTAS and the enemy, he most handsomely promised
t 0,4 stick close to her, and, in case of thick weather,
to fire guns to shew the situation of the enemy."—
Tile Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have di-
rected him to be paid the sum of 50 guines, as a mark
of their approbation of his conduct on that occasion.
The COMET, 20 guns, Captain BLAWEY, lately ar-
rived from the V4'est-Indies, touched at one of the
Leeward Islands, previously to her sailing from St.
Thomas's. There were not less than nine American
schooner privateers cruizing between St. Thomas's'
and St. Bartholomew's, each carrying from 170 to
250 men, and mounting from 16 to 18 guns. The
Carteret packet, which sailed from Martinique on the
'23d of December, we are sorry to hear, is missing ;
she has, it is feared, been either taken or lost. A con-
siderable amount in specie was shipped on board her
by the merchants at Martinique. Ail hopes had been
given up of hearing mare of the VAUTt,UR sloop of
war, Captain LA WLESS ; it was supposed she must
have upset, and every soul perished. The RII/14,
GALATEA, PIQUE, and CLEOPATRA frigates, were on
the Leeward Isaind station. The first convoy for the
season was expected to sail from St. Thomas's about
the middle of February.

An unsuccessful attempt was made a few nights
since to c.it out some vessels near Fort Lilly, in the
Scheldt, by the boats of.theilmmoN and JASON, and
some Dutch gun-boats. The information stated that
only two armed brigs were near the fort, but it prov-
ed there were five—and they all prepared for a de-
fence. Our boats had five men killed) and ten or
twelve wounded : among the latter were the First
Lieutenant (CHAMPION) of the AMPHION, severely,
and the Lieutenant in command of the Dutch gun-
boats.-.. The whole party behaved most valiantly.
