BOMBAY, JULY 24, 1805.—0 n Snnday laft an-
chored in the harbour the American fhip Henry, hay-
in, been fent to this port by our fleet cruising off the
of France, under a fufpicion of her cargo being
enemy's property ; under charge of a Midfhipman
belonging to his Majefty's flip GRAM pus. The Henry
failed from Batavia on the t3th of May !aft, laden
with a cargo of coffee and fugar, and was flopped
by our fleet going into the Mauritius, under a pre-
tence of being in want of water, and to wait for a
favourable feafon to pats the Cape of Good Hope.—
When the Henry left Batavia there was only one 64
Run fhip in the Roads, carrying Admiral Harr-
SINCR'S flag, they bad no intelligence where the other
part of the Batavian fquadron were employed.—
About fix days previous to the Henry failing from
Batavia, a French brig had failed for the Roads,
bound to the Mauritius, with treafure on board.
The advice, received from our fquadron, mention
that they had experienced very fevere blowing wea-
ther during their paffage, that they had reached their
cruizing ground on the ad June, and that the day
they made the ifland, they chafed a fmall black brig,
but who unfortunately efcaped, and got into port ;
this was fuppofed to be the brig from Batavia with
tresfure. The fleet had silo (topped the American
hark ASive, from Buurdeaux, bound to the Ifle of
France, with a cargo of wine and candles ; and they
had fallen in wi.h and retaken the fhip George, whi h
had been captured by la Pucelle privateer, having

400 barrels of gunpowder on boatel, for Prince of
Wales's Ifland.—They could perceive one heavy fri-
gate at anchor in Port Louis harbwir, with her fails
ready ben:, and apparently otherwile ready for lea
there were many other vefrels in the harbour. but none
that had the appearance of either men of war or
privateers.—The Henry parted company with our
Iguadron on the a la ult. at which time we ciewswere
all in excellent health and high fpitits.
