The following authentic particulars Qt. the capture
of ;he East Indi.t Company's ships, Charlton, United
Kingdom, and Windham, have been derived from
l'Esperance, French frigate (late the Laurel) arrived
iti the River ;—The above three vessels were in con-
puny when they unfortunately fell in with two Frenc'
frigates (one a 50, and the other a 54 gun ship),
a corvette named la Creole, of 20 puns, near the Sam
Heads. Seeing. there were no means of escape, tat
Indiamen cleared for action, and made a gallant
stand against the superior force of the enen;y for an
hour and fifteen minutes, when they were compellet'
to strike.. There was great slaughter on both sides.
The female passengers were put on board la Creol'
and sent to Penang. The prizes were carried to tl
Mauritius, where the Charlton and Vnited Kingdok
arrived on the sth of January. The Laurel sailed
on the 10th of the same month, at which time the
Windham had not arrived ; from whence it was it
ftrred she had been retaken by the British. This con.
jecture is strengthened 'by the fact, that our blockae
ing squadron, off the Mauritius, chaced the Prize,;,
• Ste. into that harbour, and wet e almost within gur
shpt when they entered. It the Windham shoul
make her appearance in that quarter, she would I. 10;
probably be intercepted by our squadron.
In consequence of the permission lately granted b'
Government to East' India built ships to clear out frot
Bengal, with cargoes of cotton for England, a tarp .
quantity of tonnage, that lay unemployed, has been
brought into active service; and many cargoes of cot.
ton are now shipping on board the different Vessels fi
London.
Some material alterations in the Constitution of tan
Government of Penang are proposed. The Counr
is to be abolished, and the supreme authority to
vested in the Governor solely. The Governmem
thus modified, has been tendered by the Court of Di
rectors to GEORGE UDNEY, Esq. late a Member (
the Supreme Government, and Vice preside 4
Council.
The Thistle schooner, of eight guns, captured
the. Bth Of February, the Dutch ship Davie, of .
guns, and .5 men, with a valuable cargo from Bata.
via to New York, and_ carried her into Bermuda,
after an action of four houra and an half, in which
the llavie had one man killed (and the Dutch As'
miral BuGstm, a passenger,) and seven men woundo
The Thistle had one man killed, and Lieutenal
PROCTOR and six men wounded.
I rters from Malta state, that his Neapolitan It
jesty FER N DINAD IV. intended to dispose of a large
track of land in'the way of lottery; the tickets to be
sold at nearly three guineas each. Several of the
prizes will put the holders in possession of a princi-
pality.
A great number of Bank of England forged not
and counterfeit seven shilling-pieces, are now in or'
culation in Plymouth and its neighbourhood : several
persons detected in uttering them, were taken inr
custody on Saturday night. They are supposed
be the manufacture of French prisoners', whose ink,
