Office.

At one o'clock a Cabinet Council was held at his
Lordfhip's Office, which was attended by the Loan
CHANCILLOR, Earls CAMDEN and WESTMORLAND,
Vikount Cairteasaou, and Mr. Purr.
We underfland the meeting to be held for the pur.
pole of making arrangements for the Promgation of
Parliament, and the refult was that it was found the
public bufinels unfinilhed, would render it impoffible
to clofe the &Ilion of Parliament before Thurfday or
Friday next. It was likewife reported, the Council
took into confideration the propriety of doling the
Sedion of Parliament by Coramidion. At two o'clock ,
the Council adjourned to the Q2.een's Hoofe, for the '
purpnfe of meeting his MAJESTY, and. it was under-
flood, to advife his Majtsrr upon this fubjed.
Yekerday we received New York papers to the

Nsw YORK, MAT 27.--Ettrad from the log book

" The Panther left Kingßon May the ad; a few days

Charlotte frigate. having in tow the (hip Benjamin,
of New York, which had been previoully taken by a
French privateer, and carried into an out port in Cuba,
where the frigate cut ber ouL.—May toth,fell in with,
and was boarded by a French or Spanills privateer.
who treated our flag with their Our/ politenefs. in
breaking open the hatches, plundering the veffel of
Rotes and Rock, and the pallengers and Captain of
their clothes, and every thing valuable they could lay
their hands upon."
Intelligence has been received here from Jamaica,
I that a packet which had arrived there from ngland,
on the td of May, brought infltudions for the admit:
lion of filch articles in American 'ails as the Gover.
nor of that place should at any time think proper to
grant.
BoSTON. MAY 30--From Nantucket, May 20, 1803.
The following article was found in a junk !wide, taken
up at the fouthward of the vineyard by one of the
pilot boats, on the 9th intl. The bottle in which it
was found was ballalled with fix ounces of lead balls,
and had a Itaff made fall to it, with a piece of filk
handkerchief put through as a flag :--

" Fiend' Nationallp Silence- , April ro, dos.
" One of his Britannic Majzfly's fubjefts, confined
as a prifoner on board this (kip, embraces this mode
of communicating information to his countrymen,
(being the only meant left in his power) hoping that
it may prove fuccefsful. If it fhould even fall into
the hands of any of onr American well-wilhers,
they no doubt will make it public, that a valuable
Spanith fhip, with an immenfe quantity of fpecie,
bound to Cadiz, would leave the Havannah about
the 111 of this month. Such a prize is certainly wor-
thy the attention of any of his Majelly's fhips on this
Ration looking after. The Spanilli veffel's force is
only 16 guns, and but indifferently equipped.
