VAR 'I C.: :RON WORKS, NEAR PON EEPOOL, MON-

AIOUTHSHIRE.
'0 BE DISPOSED OF, THREE SHARES in
the above Concern. The Concern consists of a large track
of Land, knnwn by the name of the Varteg Mountain, containing
an immense quantity of Mines and Minerals, under Lease for
40 years, 94 of which are unexpired. There is already erected
one blast furnace capable of making frilly is fifty tons of pig
iron per week, with a blast engine, and about 50 workmen?
houses, beside a Store-house, Stable, Retail Shop, and two Free-
hold Estaetes near the premises. Head ways to the different stratas
.f coal and mine arc opened sufficient to supply the blast fuenaso,
at which a considerable quantity of pig iron of the most approved
quality has been made, and rail roads are laid down for conveying
'materials to and pig iron from the said furnace. There is also a
very powerful and complete Rolling-mill, capable of rolling 80 to
100 tons of bar iron per week, as well as a Forge for shingling
and drawing out its uses, with about 45 workmetts' houses, built
mostly on two other freehold estates belonging to the same. The
said Mill has rolled near fifty tons per week of bar iron for the
last three years, connections for which are established, and the
same is kept regularly at work. There are railed roads and in-
clined planes from the said mill to the furnace, and they join to
the rail road of the Monmouthshire Canal-13 voiles and three-
quarters from Newport, the shipping port. The Blaenaven Iron
Works are within two miles and a half of the said mill, where a
very large quantity of pig iron is made, the whole of which passes
wlshin a few yards of the mill door. From the incr:asing demand
for coals at Newport, there is little doubt but great quantities will
be eventually raised at the said Varteg Mountain, and advan-
tageously disposed of, as the quality is known to be good. The
said premises have lately been surveyed by persons experienced in
the iron and coal trade, who report the materials for making pig
iron to be exceeding good, and that the same can be made atoievrry
reasonaßle rate, the particulars of which, as well as all other re-
lating to the concern, may be known by applying to Mr. Daniel
}tbs.:, at the said Iron Works; or to Mr. Thomas Rose, Cole-
hro Shropshire.—The above original Shares rill be Is!d
worth the notice of the purchaser.—Letters, post-paid, addressed
as above, will meet with due attention..

Extract of 3 letter from Captain Schomberg, of his Majesty's ship
Loire, to the eon. W. W. Pole, dated at sea, the 6th instant.
I have the honour to inform you, that yesterday, at
noon, in lat. 39. 24. and long. 11. 41. W. his Majes-
ty's ship under my command had the good fortune to
fall in with a French national ship of war in the act of
taking a ship and a brig. On the Loire's approach,
she bore up and made all sail, desetting her prizes,
and leaving the brig destitute of men. Every exer.
tion was made in this ship to came up with the enemy;
and much was necessary, I assure you, from the
weather being thick and squall,.

At eight at night we got alongside of her, and
brought her to dose action. She was defended for
about twenty minutes, when she struck to his Majes-
ty's ship. She proved to be le Hebe French national
ship of war, frigate-built, mounting 18 24-pounders,
carronades, and 2 long twelves, with a complement of
one hundred and sixty men ; commanded by Monsieur
ILe Bretonneuiere, Lieut. deVaisseau. She had been
out 38 dais frofn Bourdeaux, with 600 barrels of
flour, bound to St. Domingo. She has taken the
English vessels as per margin*.
Le Hebe is a very fine vessel, abort four hundred
and fifty tons, quite new, and appears to me a ship
that may be serviceable to his Majesty. I am most
, happy to say not a man was hurt in the Loire.

ADMIRALTY-OFFICE, FEBRUARY 14.

Copy of a letter from Thomas James Maling, Esq. Captain of
his Majesty's ship Undaunted, to the Hon. W. W. Pole, dated
on board that ship at lipithead, the 13th instant.
SIR—You will please to inform their Lordships,
that the Undaunted captured the San Josephe yester-
day forenoon, after a hard run of four hours. She is
a fine copper-bottomed privateer, out four days from
St. Maloes, stored for two months, pierced for eighteen
guns, (but mounting only fourteen,) and a comple-
ment of ninety-six men. The San Joseph is nearly
new, is reckoned the fastest sailer out of St. Maloe's,
and is a desirable vessel for his Majesty's service. We
met with her at dawn of day too near us to escape. I
have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) T. J. NI AL LNG.
