BELFAST, JULY 10.

On the lit inst. the ship Mariner, of Whitehavent
THOMAS FRAZER, master, from Kingston, Jamaica,
bound to this port, was captured by the Yankee,
American privateer, Captain Show, off the north-
west coast of Ireland. Tory island bearing E. by S.
distance 35 miles. The Yankee mounts 14 guns,
6 and 9.pounders, and one Fong 24, and 42 men—
had been out 41 days from Rhode Island, and had
made eight other captures. The cargo of the Mariner
consisted of 150 !ids. sugar, 17'2 puncheons and 25
lihds. rum, 19 bales cotton. &c. &c. She was nine
weeks from Kingston, out of which she had been six
weeks departed from convoy when captured. The
Captain and men were landed on the coast of Galway.
To the above statement we have to add the follow-
ing from the Derry Journal :—On the 30th ult. the
snow Watson, GREGG, and brig Eliza, HOLSON, both
bound for Liverpool with cargoes of cotton, from the
Brazils, fell in with a large American schooner-rigged
privateer, to the westward of Tory, by which they were
captured, and the crews of both, 21 in number, were
put into one long-boat, 40 mile's from land. They
were fortunate enough to make Glen Head, from
whence they pl'oceeded to this city.

A vessel under Spanish colours, laden with wine,
arrived at Elsinore Roads on the 9th ult. where she
was taken possession of, in consequence of having
been at Dublin, and was carried into Copenhagen.
MA NCH &Si EK PACKET.—The following letter gives
an account of the gallant defence of Captain PHILIP
ELPIIINSTONE and the brave little crew of the MAN-
CHESTER packet, against the superior force of the
Tull Town American privateev.:" The Manchester
packet, commanded by Captain PHILIP ELPHINSTONE,
was captured on the 24th ultimo, in lat. 47. 10. N.
and long. 24. 37. W. after a chace of 37 hours, the
last 20 of which she sustained a running fight, and
terminated in a close engagement, within pistol-shot,
for one hour and seven minutes. The York Town is
a cut-down American East Indiaman, of 500 tons,
with a solid bulwark of 14 inches, mounting 16 long
nines and twelve-pounders, and 116 men, actually on
board. The Manchester was completely cut-up in
her sails and rigging, main-mast dangerously woun
ded, all their ammunition expended except about two
rounds, and quite unmanageable before the gallant
Capt. ELPHINSTONE ordered her colours to be struck,
which he would have been perfectly justified in doing
immediately upon the privateer getting close along-
side ; but he was determined to defend her as long as
he had the means, although the force was so greatly
superior as hardly to leave the least chance of escape. I
Captain ELPHINSTONE speaks very highly of the sup-
port he received from his Officers and his little crew.
The Master and 27 men were put on board a leaky
captured ship of little value, which arrived at Fal-
mouth on the Bth instant : Captain ELPHINSTONE, the
Surgeon, Steward, and one man, wete sent to New
. York, under the care of a Prize Master and ten men."

tive regiments serving in the Peninsula.
The 4th Battalion of the Ist,, or Royal Scots, is
to embark immediately at Leith for Stralsund. This
regiment, being upwards of 1000 strong, will be a
very sensible retnforcement to the expedition which
lately sailed, from Harwich.

A detachment of the 14th Regiment, for Malta,

The guns left at Tarragona by Sir JOHN MURRAY
composed the identical tram with which Lord WFa..
L I NOTON reduced Badajoz. They were sent back to
the I'2.gus, embarked there for Alicant, and taken
from thence with the expedition, under the direction
of a distinguished Officer of artillery, who had been
promoted for his merit at Badajoz. This train as
supplied with 300 rounds to each gun, and it was
attended by one company of British and three of
Portuguese artillerymim, in number at least 800, and
all excellent soldiers of their class, independently of a
body of horse artillery for the field. •
vALLADWAD, JUNE 25.

(PRIVATI LITTNIC.)
ft Before you can receive this, the Tower Guns
must have announced the glorious victory of the 21st.
The intelligence was received by the Spaniards here
with unbounded joy, which I am certain was sincere.
Upon going to the great square this morning, how.
ever, I witnessed rather a tragical celebration of the
glorious event. The square was crouded with Spa.
niards, shouting Viva 1u Ingleta ! but in one corner I
saw an unusual bustle among the mob, and desired a
young Spaniard to enquire the cause. He soon came
back, and informed me that an unhappy, Frenchman,
who had not given in his name and residence to the
proper authorities, upon the French army leaving
Valladolid, was discovered to be concealed in a house,
and that the mob had become furious to have him
out, to put him to death ; and be particularly told
me, the imprecations of the women (many of whom
had knives in their hands) were dreadful, and he had
little doubt of the poor creature being put to death
if he was not soon released. Feeling As I ever have
the greatest horror at the idea of assassination, even
of a mortal foe, I immediately endeavoured to make
my way through the crowd, which I did so far as to
get within sight of the door of the house ; when, to
my inexpressible delight, I found half a dozen of my
brave countrymen in arms, drawn up, protecting a
failcn foe from the fury of an enraged Spanish mob,
who most unquestionably would have torn him to
pieces. How these brave lads came there I cannot
yet learn : there was no officer with them—there
being none here but two or three sick, not even a
non-commissioned officer that I could jliscover.—
These fine fellows were some of the convalescents,
all of different rltiments, from tli.: hospital (which
has, on a small scale, been lately establieted here),
and who were at the first moment of the mob assem-
bling, considered as the only safe guard for poor Moue-
leer. Upon seeing the scarlet coat posted at the door,
my feelings weir much relieved, and as I was in a most
uncomfortable situation, I got back with difficulty IQ
a more open part of the square; in a few minutes
thereafter the Spanish Commandant of the town, a
Colonel, a fine-looking pacing man, came with a Spa-
nish guard, and made his way through the crowd, got
into the house, and from a balcony addressed the mob,
told them that the Frenchman and his wife were in.
stantly to be _sent to prison, and that an attorney or
man of the law had been sent for to take an inventory
of every article in the house, which was confiscated
to the State, and hoped, in consequeiice of these. mea-
sures that no outrage would be committed on the
Frenchman on his way to prison. The mob called
out Viva Comrandarea and seemed satisfied ; and in

The healthy village and watering place of Bexhill
displayed every demonstration of loyalty on the late
glorious Victory, every part of the garrison and vil-
lage being most splendidly illuminated. The house
'Of Colonel BEST was particularly brilliant : several of
the Officers' apartments exhibited appropriate trans-
parencies : but the mansion of titostAs WEDD, Esq.
certainly surpassed the whole in splendour and
magnificence.

Peter Fitz/lab-id, private soldier in the Royal Ve-
teran Battalion, charged, on oath, with having fel°.
niously married two wives, has been committed to
Wexford gaol.

A letter from Armagh, in a Dublin Paper, gives
an account of the prostration and destruction of a
much-venerated relic of antiquity, called the Cross of
St. Patrick, in Armagh, on the 2d inst. by a party of
Orangemen. It was a stone cross, brought from Raphoe,
and erected in Armagh, in the year 1100. It was af-
terwards prostrated and buried, but re-erected at the
expence of the Corporation and liberal Protestant in-
habitants, in the year 1763.

A Correspondent, who has been making a tour
through the counties of Northampton, Warniek,
Huntingdon, acid Cambridge, remarks, that in every
direction there is the appearance of a most bountiful
harvest. All the crops are luxuriant, but particularly
those of Wheat and Beans, and a great scene of
activity appears among the hay-makers.
