PORTSMOUTH, MAY 6.

Arrived his Majesty's brig DARING, from the
Downs; Hope, Anna, and Thunder, from off Roche-
fort.—Sailed his Majesty's ship la FLECIIE, on a
cruize. The SOLEBAY and TIGRESS, wi:h their convoy
for Africa, have put into Yarmouth Roads. The
SARACEN has a signal for a convoy to the West In-
dies ; NIOBE, for Canada and New Brunswick ;
ALERT, for Newfoundland ; MAGICIENNE, fur the
Brazils ; and HARDY, for Cork.
Lord GAMBIER arrived here yesterday afternoon, in
the CALEDONIA, from Basque Roads. His Lordship
landed last night, and set out at a late hour for Lon-
don. The fleet under his Lordship's orders has been
divided into three squadrons: viz. Admiral St OPFORN
in the Czsar, commands in Basque Roads, and has
with him the Revenge, 74, Captain KERR ; Tonnant,
80, Capt. ABDY, acting ; Medusa, Capt. BouvERIE ;
two bombs, and several gun-brigs. The French men
of war which could not be destroyed, had succeeded
in getting over the bar into the Charante. The whole
of them were quite dismantled, and several of them
were ashore in that river. The trade to Rochefort is
totally stopped by the activity of our small vessels.—
Captain NEWMAN, of the Hero, commands one of the
squadrons which have been detached on a cruize.;
and Captain PULTNEY MALCOLM, of the Donnegal,
the other. The ships under Captain NEWMAN'S or,

Minerva.—Those under Captain MA I coi.st,
Donnegal, Defiance, Resolution, and Beltona.

Rear-Admiral HARVEY will commence. Lord Gast-
BIER, it is imagined, is gone to town to make some
arrangements connected with the trial. His flag is
not struck.

ADNITRALY-OFFICE, MAY 6.
IllOpy of a Letter from Vice-Admiral the Right Honourable
Lord Collingword, Commander it Chief of ills Majesty's Ships
and Vessels in the Mediterranean, to the Hon. W. W.Yole,
_ . _ _

dated en bot.-rd the Ocean, the 15th March, 1809.
Sir-1 have the pleasure to incisse to you, to be laid before
my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, the letter of Captain
Beshane, of his Majesty's ship Belle Poule, informiug me of his
having fallen in w;th, and captured, the French Frigate le Var,
in the Gulph of Valona,
Also a letter from Captain Hoste, of his Majesty's ship the
Amphion, stat'og his having capturvd a French armed brig,
mounting six guns, and a trabacculo, which were employed in
transporting troops from Zara to the coast of Italy.
The npremitting vigilance of those caters, and of all who are
employed in the Adriatic and off Corfu, is deserving of the highest
comrnentlariou. '.l heir strict watch on the enemy's possessions
has reduced the lonian Wands to the greatest want of every ne-
-cessary, moat of the supplies from the Continent having been in-
tercered by them ; and the frigate raptured by the Belle Poule,
1 under"and, was on her way to some port in Italy for a cargo of
corn. lam, fie. (Signed) CO 1.1.1N0W0 OD.
His Majesty's ship Belle Poule, off Corfu, Feb. 16.
My Lord—l have the honour to-repott to your
Lordship, that his Majesty's ship under my command
being driven by a hard southerly gale about twelve
leagues to the northward of Corfu, a suspicious ship
was discovered on the morning of the 11tH instant,
far distant on the lee bow. All sail Was instantly
made in pursuit of her, but light and partial winds
having come on, prevented our closing with her on
that day ; we, however, evidently made her out to
he a French ship of war, and very distinctly saw her
intention of making for the Gulf of Valona. Our
course was directed accordingly, and daylight on the.
following morning discovered her moored with cables
to the walls of the fortress of Valona, mounting. four-
teen eighteen and twenty-fonr.pounders, with' ano-
ther fort on an eminence above her, completely com-
manding the whole anchorage. A breeze at length
favouring us, at one P. M. his Majesty's ship was an-
chored in a position at once to take or destroy the
enemy, and at the same time to keep in check the
formidable force we •saw. . prepared to support the
French frigate. A most animated and well direct-Ni•
fire was opened on the enemy's ship. The forts mak-
ing no effort to protect her, and our attention being
thus undivided, the contest of muse was very short.
She surrendered after a few broadsides, and proved
to be le Var French frigate, pierced for thirty-two
guns, but having only twenty-two nine-pounders and*
Sour twenty-four-pounder carronades mounted, com-
manded by Capitaine de frigate Paulin, with a com-
plement of two hundred men, from Corfu, destint:d
to any port in Italy she could reach.

I cannot close my letter without expressing my re-
gret, that the occasion had not afforded more room
for the display of that exertion and gallantry which
my officers and ship's company have proved them-
selves at all times so ready to evince ; and it is with
sincere satisfaction I add, that, with the exception of
some trifling damage in our rigging, we sustained no
loss whatever ; that of the enemy cannot be ascer-
tained, as the greater part of her officers and ship's
company took the opportunity orgetting on shore the
moment the ship struck.

Le Var is but two years off the stocks, coppered,
and copper fastened, and eight hundred tons burthen.
I have the honour to be, (Signed) JANES BRISBANE. I
His Majesty's ship Arnphion, at Sea, Feb. 10.
My Lord--The Redwing joined me on the Bth in-
stant off Long Island, with information that an
armed brig and a trabacculo were lying in a small
creek in the istand of Malida. I proceeded there in
consequence with the Redwing, and found the above
♦essels advantageously moored for defending the et..
trance of the creek, and several hundred soldiers
drawn up behind some houses and walls. The brig
and a twelve-pounder from the shore opened on the
ships whilst they were taking their stations, which was
no sooner effected, than they fled in all directions.—
She mounted six twelve.pounder carronades, had
sailed from Zara, in company with the trabacculo,
on the 4th January, with four hundred French troops
fur Ancona, which, on our approach, landed, and
were those I mentioned above, but kept a respectable
distance from our guns the whole time.
' The boats' crews of the two ships, under the direc-
tion of Lieutenant Phillott, landed, and brought eff
three guas, one twelve-pounder and two small ones,
and destroyed two storehouses of vine and oil col-
lected there.

I am happy to say, no person was hurt on this ser-
vice, and have the honour to be, &c. (Signed)
W. HosTE, Captain.
The brig sunk soon after we got her out in &ep
water, from the effects of our shot.

Nils Majesty's Sloop, Royalist, Downs, May 2.
Sir—l have the honour to acquaint you, that at,five
yesterday evening, Dieppe bearing south, distant
seven or eight leagues, his Majesty's slOop Royalist,
tinder my command, fell in with five French lugger
privateers, to which we immediately gave chace, and,
after a run of two hours and a quarter, captured la
Princesse, of sixteen guns and fifty men ; the other
four, during the short interval of exchanging priso-
ners, it being then nearly dark, and rather hazy, made
their escape. I feel happy in having made this cap-
ture, as she has hitherto been a most successful cruizer.
