CASK 'O BASSO, NAPLES, COUNTRY OF 2.IOLEsF, DEC. 9.
The calm which we have lately experienced has ena-
bled the enemy's ships, which the gales in the month
ofNoveasber had driven to a distance, to again ap-
pear on our coast; but the indefatigable bravery of
ourlegionaries has rendered abortive all their attempts,
and obliged them to keep at a respectful distance.

MORLAIX, DEC. IS.
The privateer la Gazille yesterday landed 32 pri-
soners from two prizes in this port ; one of these
prizes was pre cceding from the Havanna, the Captain
of which had collected, previous to sailing, the fol
toning accounts relative to the Duke of Dantzic pri-
vateer, Captain Aregneaudeau. This privateer con-
tinued to iiestroy the English commerce in the West
Indies. He frequently changes his point of cruizing.
Be has taken, sunk, and burnt, some of thirty ships,
among which a vessel having on board the Governor
lithe Caraccas, the Principal of the Customs of that
island, and two or three Spaniards of distinction.—
Captain Aregneaudeau found on board this prize
40,000 piastres. He landed, no doubt, for want of
revisions, the crew and passengers at Porto Rico, and
then cruized in another airec Lion, where he ;net a Spa-
nish galliot with ten carronades, and having a nu-
merous crew.
He attacked, and compelled her to strike her flag
after an engagement of four hours. She had, it is
said 160,000 piastres on board. Captain Aregneau•
Beau treats his prisoners with so much generosity,
that he has gained the esteem of the enemy. We
may form an idea of the mischief which the Duke of
Dantzic has dtrne the English commerce, by the num-
ber of cruizers which are in pursuit of him ; they
amount to thirteen, of which seven are frigates, but
hitherto his sailing„ which is truly extraordinary, has
erabled him to escape their pursuit. At the depar-
ture of the Captain who furnished these accounts, it
wits believed Captain Aregneaudeau would refit in
an American pit.
AM3I'LRDAM, DECEMBER ,26.

We have rcceixed from tale Texel details which can-
net fail of being afflicting to humanity, occasioned by
s gale experienced in the Ma th Sea. The ships over-
ttken by this tempest tormed, as it appears, part of a
envoy of more than 100 sail, returning from Sweden
to Engl rnd, laden, it is believed, with warlike stores.
At break of thy the 25th December, atter a most
drcadiul night, a frigate, two brigs, and a ship of the
lte, were perceived at abe'ut half a league distance
from the coast of the Testi. The ship of the line
was entirely disma,ted.
Two brigs have been drivers upon the coast,
where they ware wrecked.—Two brigs belonging
to His Majesty, add the privateer, Furet, saved
136 men from a ship which was shipwrecked, and
have brought an English brig into the Helder.—
The Captain of the Furet declares that he saw a
ship of the line, which he bzlieves to be the Hero,
oaf two brigs perish, without it being possible for
him to render them the least assistance.
The men saved from the wreck, add, that ten
transports have been driven upon the banks of the
Teach The intelligence, in fact, which is received
from that island, state that it is surrounded by
wrecks.

Sorge thirty men who gained the island by swim-
wng were saved.
