REPORT OF THE OFFICERS OF THE STAFF, OFF!.
CMS NVHO ISERL PASSENGERS, •ND THE PRI,:Cf.
PAL OFFICERS OF THE FRIGATE L'AI:“LAINE.
The frigate I'Africaine failed front Rochfut t en
the iith of February ; flee was chafed without
intermitlion by a frigate and a brig, and the com-
mandant, fo deceive the enemy be changing his
comfy, fic;_red into the Gut, of Gibraltar: tt!c
isith we there fell in with two more of cite enerriv't:
velfels, wi.ich, by their fupcaior failing, were able
to come up with the Irigate l'Africaine. The en-
gagemt.nt commenced at fix in in the evening.—
At eight Captain SAUNTER, the Commander in
Chief, ordered every thing to be got ready for
hoarding; but the enemy, favoured by their po-
fition,fileceeded in avoiding it.
The battle continued with the greaten vigour,
and the AFRICAINt heed already fullained a great
lofs inmen, betides receiving conftderable damage.
Captain SAUNTER, conceiving the poilibility of
boarding, which would hive fecured him vic-
tory, gave orders for a fecond attempt, but it
was Rill eluded by the enemy's chips.
A tire which broke out three time!, Rill added Id
the embarraffment of the combat, and this cir-
cumaance gave the enemy tinerpeftcd advantage:,
feveral of the guns on the main and quarter deck
were entirely difmcunted, and the Avatcaboi
having 101 l many effential parts of her rigging,
could no longer be worked.
Captain SAUNTER having been fevetely wound-
' ed died foon after ; the command then devolved
on the Captain of the frigate MAG EN DI E, who be-
ing alfo wounded was obliged to be carried to the
Surgeon's birth.
Lieutenant Lan-lira having then taken charge
'of the frigate, in conkquence of theie events,
I found that the fails and rig;;ing were rendered ett4
tirely ufelefs ; that the frigate confequently could
not be matneuvred, and remained expofed to 'the
tire of the enemy : molt of the officers were
wounded ; a fire alfo broke out between decks, and
there were font feet water in the hold.

Farther refinance being ufeTefs, the Afrieaine
ftruck her colours at three quarters after nine at
night, that is to fay, after an obltinate engage-
ment of about four hours: We had Ist meri
killed, and 176 wounded.

The Well-India fleet, under convoy of the
SYR EN, from Cork, were left by the DRYADE, r2t4
February, in lat. 29. 26. lon. s. 31. with a fair
wind, blowing fretia ; 13.} fan in company.
The Columbus, Cams ARTY ; and Ann, Rinot i;
from Liverpool for Africa, were well and in cam'
pane on the !ph of Dec. in lat. 7. 30. long. 16. to.
The Morn traniport, reported to have found-
ered, arrived at Gibraltar t9th February.
A Danifh brig of war, and a cutter, are de;
tained at Minorca.

The Englifh Hoop of war Br u. Doc, of 20 guns,
entered the harbour of Ancona on the s 7th of Fe-
bruary, not knowing of its furrender, and was
taken.

In confequence of the late depredations corn.
mined in Kensington-Gardens, Mr. FORD has or-
dered ~me of the Bow-free: pattole to attend
there confiantly, who are to tit!se up every fulisi-
cious perfon they find, fo that the frequenters of
this beautiful retreat need no longer be under the
apprehenfion of being attacked by footpads, or
"Ifulted by prollitutes, and another fet of perfons
of a worfe defcription.
Yellerday upwards of one hundred prifoners,
charged with felonies, were removed from the
New Gaol in the Borough, in order for their
trials at the allizes for the county of Surry, held
at Kingston, before Baron Hornata and Mr. Jul.-
tke HEATH, which opened this day.
About fix o'clock on Friday morning Taft, the
new Dryinit-houfe belonging to the powder-works
of Meas. HARVEY, of Battle, in Suffix, contain-
ing about eight cwt. of gunpowder, Mew up with
a ten-iblz explofion ; and fuch was the force of the
powder, that the building, though of brick, was
fluttered to atoms. One poor man, who happen-
ed to he, *ji the houfe at the time, was unfortu-
nately killed. His fc.tttered remains were after-
wards found among the ruins, and exhibited a
(hocking fpeilacic. How the accident happened,
as there were no tires in the (loves, no one can tell.

Inverners on the 12th inftant, by the exploti(m of
feveial barrels of gunpowder helm:sing to Marrs.
