KINGSTON, SEPT. 30.
J ‘'lt is with feelings of the most poignant regret that'
see record this day the death of Rear-Admiral Brown, i
who expiied at his pen, in the vicinity of this city., ati
nine o'clock on Tuesday qaorning, after an illness of
a few days. Of the. Admiral's professional life we
can at present fuinish no further particulars than that
he commanded the Ajax, of 71 guns, in Sir Robert
Calder's action noitli the combined fleets of France
and Spainin 1805, an.l was prevented from being
present• 4 m e ever-memorable battle of Trafalgar, by
being tuntMoned.:l a witness On the above-named
Admiral's trial. He 'afterwards obtained the com-
mand of the Guerni-iy station. During his command
here he has given universal satisfaction
,by his atten-
tivezeal in protecag the coasts from the depredations
of the enmity's privateers, with which they were in-
fested, and by his read iness to grant convoys for the
protection of our mercantile intercourse. His loss
will be much and sincerely lamented in this island,
not only by the numerous circle. of Ins' friends and
brother officers, but by the merchants and other.re-
spectable characters, who have -gratefully felt anded.
joyed his honourable and disinterested friendship, his
frankness of manners, and all those essentials in the
human character which dignify the man, and distin-
guish the social and best qualities in our nature.
The schooner Paulina, under Sivedish colours from
Carthagena, last Jeremie, out eight days, in ballast,l
bound to Turk's Island, detained off Heneaga on the
18th inst. by the THRACIAN brig, of -18 guns, was
brought into Port-Royal yesterday.
The ship Five Sisters, Belding; from this port to
Bermuda and Halifax, was captured within two days,
sail of St. George's, by an American letter of marque,
which took out 'of her 200 puncheons of rum, and
then gave her up, and they arrived at Bermuda pre-
vious to the Risonove's departure from thence.
The Ringdove parted with the Snake packet from
this island on the 23d ult. within a few miles of Ber-
muda, all well, with a fair wind, and every prospect
of making a good passage.
