As loon as the intelligence brought by Lieute-
nant Duel AesseLwas received at the Admiralty, a
Mellinger was difpatched to the Kira at Wey-
moutb.
Difpatches were yeflerday received at the Ad-
miralty from Captain MURRAY who lately corn.
mended the jAsow frigate, loft off St. Malots
'They ttate' that the whole of the crew were Paved,
except the Pilot.
Private letters from the fleet of Sir JAMS Say-
stAaiz obferve, that had the enemy's fquadron
prepared for failing four hours fooner than they
did, the whole would have efcAped, owing to the
incomplete Rate of the Britith (hips, the CiesAa's
foremaft tieing Silted when the failed from Gibral-
tar Bay, and the Svsicaa and AUDACIOUS being
fcarcely in a better Rate. ,

The Spanifh (hip Real Carlos (King Charles),
which was one of thofe blown up in the action of
the 12th Ult. had tOOO men on board, of whom
only fifteen were laved. 'I he San Hermenegildo,
the other (hip which fuffered the fame fate, is
fuppofed to have carried an equal number of men.
Su great was the ardour ditptayed by our gal-
lant feanien to engage the enemy in the Mediter-
ranean, that when the Cissaa, the Admiral's flag
fhip, was warping out of Gibraltar Mole, many
of the feamen, who had been wounded in the ac-
tion off Algeziras, got on board, and entreated
Sir JANES SAUKARBZ to allow them to do duty
with the (hip's company. Their application was
granted, and thole who were leis dangeroufly
wounded, aftually affilled in working the veal,
and figbains the guns. Even after the fquadron
had failed in purliiit of the combined fleet, and
when the Casale was about a mile from the Mole,
fevers' others, who. had left their lick quarters,
took a boat, and with uncommon exertions, got
along-fide the (hip, and infilled on being taken on
board, to (bare in the danger of their comrades.
The lofs fuflained by ;he French and Spaniards
in the affair of Algefiras is vary confiderable.—
Two days were employed by them in burying the
dead; and the French General Davao:, who
commanded at the Spanifh batteries, informed
Captain Fetrais, at the Spanifh Governor's table,
that he had 101 l boo of his troops. The French
foldiers who were landed from Admiral Limois's
Nuadron, bad not got into the batteries when the I
HANNIBAL grounded. Captain FERRIS dillin tly
obferved them as'they entered, and immediately
ordered Tome guns to be worked upon them,
which made a dreadful carnage.
Among the names of the officers killed in the
gallant exploit of cutting the French frigate out
of Breft water, is to be recognized that of a fpirited
young Irifhman, Mr. Warren, a midfhipman, fon
of Mr. William Warren, of South Great George's
Street, Dublin. This is the fecund fon, (mid(hip.
men), he has had the misfortunozo lofe in his Ma-
jetty's fervice during the pnefent war.
The PONES/, Captain Sr 'IMMO, is coming
home to be repaired.
The following account has been received from
'Bengal, dated the 4th of February :—" We are
happy to find that the accounts of the fuccefs of
Lis Majefty's (hip ARROGANT are confirmed by the
