who had been brought into Fowey in the Phccbe pri-
vateer, and were to-have been sent to prison, escaped,
and stealing a large sloop-sail boat, belonging to Mr..
Salt, a pilot of Portman (worth £80,) sailed about
two o'clock in the morning for France. Their escape
being known about three hours after, an officer of a
revenue cutter was informed of it, and several
men offered him their assistance, to go in pursuit of
them ; from some cause, of which we are uninformed,
he declined to do so, and the Frenchmen escaped
with their prize.

Our Readers are requested to make the following
correction in the Lists we published of those who
voted-in the House of Commons, on Lord PORCHES•
TER'S motion :—Mr. F. HEATHCOTE and Mr. JOSIAS
JACKSON were not present ; Mr. HAreurr voted for
the motion. Colonel SYMONDS desires us to say he
was deprived by illness from attending, if present he
would have voted for the motion.

A list of offending Officers in India, which we gave
yesterday, is, we understand, incorrect. Captain S.
JOHNSTON) Bth Native Infantry, Madras, mentioned
in it, was a passenger on board the extra ship Glory,
which ship has been missing since the 20th Novem-
ber, 1808; and Lieutenant T. S. PAOETT, 15th Na-
tive Infantry, Madras, died 6th April, 1809.
A duel was fought on Saturday at Hemming's-
Grove, near Harrow, betwixt a Captain SMITH and a
Gentleman of the name of DEWY, in consequence of
some family dispute, the Captain having gone off with
and married Mr. DUROY'S niece. Captain SMITH was
dangerously wounded in the hip in the second fire.

ordered it to continue at the present prices.
Yesterday a very numerous Meeting of the Sub-
scribers to Lloyd's Coffee House took place, for the pur-
pose of considering the propriety of resisting the pro-
posed application to Parliament for the establishment
of a Chartered Company for Marine insurances.
Mr. JASPER VAUX having, in compliance with the
call of the Meeting, taken ihe Chair,
Mr. J. J. ANGERSTRIN brought forward certain
Resolutions pledging the Meeting to oppose the esta-
blishment of this Company. The three first were
adopted unanimously, without any observation. But,
upon a Resolution being submitted, referring to the
arguments made use of in favour of a similar Charter,
m the year 1720, and endeavouring to shew, that
those arguments were not applicable to the present
times, Mr. ROWCROPT and Mr. MARRYATT spoke
against it, on the ground that there was no occasion
to anticipate objections which might never be advan-
ced, or to adopt an argumentative Resolution. This
Resolution was withdrawn.
After the several Resolutions were carried, it was
proposed to appoint a Committee for the purpose of
devising measures to secure the attainment of their
object. A list of fifteen Gentlemen was accordingly
read ever as eligible to form this Committee. On
reading the name of Mr. Rowcroft, that Gentleman
begged to decline the honour intended him, as he had
not yet made up his mind on the subject of the pro-
posed Institution. He could easily conceive a Com-
pany of this nature being very advantageous to trade,
although it might he injurious to the interest of some
gentlemen around him. That the Company to which
the resolutions referred, was of that nature which he '
could approve he was not prepared to say ; but yet,
as he was not acquainted with it, he wished to sus-
pend his judgment respecting its eligibility, and there-
fore would deem it inconsistent to become a member
of any body specially appointed to oppose it. The
wish of Mr. Rowcroft was acceded to, and his name
immediately cancelled.
Mr. WOOD approved of the Company to which the
resolutions referred, being of opinion that it would be
productive of much good to the commercial world,
without doing any injury to the interests ofthat House
or its Members.
Mr. B. SHAW spoke strongly in favour of the reso-
lutions. He cautioned the Meeting to be particu-
larly careful in selecting the Members of this Corn..
mittee. as many important Members of that House,
including some of those who formed the Committee
for managing its concerns, were known to have shares
lin the proposed Company.
Mr. HALLIDAY followed on the same side.

PLYMOUTH, JAN. 28.

Arrived la Ntamen frigate, Captain Sir MICHAEL
SZYMOUR, Ban. from a cruize off Cape Finisterre :
during the nine weeks she has been absent, she has
detained and sent in seven American and neutral
vessels—three of which, at least, it is expected, will
be condemned. La NUM Mlexperienced very severe
weather for three weeks during cruize, but sus-
tained no material injure. She will sail again, as soon
as victualled, to assist an looking out for the Canna.
niere French 'frigate, which is known to be within
three weeks sail of a French port. She is immensely
rich, and would be a fortune foe any ship's crew that
might capture her.—The ALLIGATOR and Lamm)
frigates, which have been near four years in ordinary
in Hamoaze, mere last week taken into dock and re-
fitted, and will sail early in the ensuing week' for the

is sunk in Cork harbour,_ in such a situation as to ob-
struct the entrance; and several ineffectual attempts
have been made to weigh her up. The LAPWING
and ALLIGATOR are intended for this service in the
first instance.—The HYPERION frigate has retaken
and sent into Falmouth the brig Tom, Capt. LAMB,
from Moranham, laden with cotton wool and sun-
dries, which was captured the 15th instant off the
Irish coast, by the Leonora French schooner priva-
teer, Captain SAUVEUR. Captain LAMB, and all his
crew, (with the exception of his Mate) were taken
out by the privateer, and eleven Frenchmen put on
board the Tom, to navigate' her to a French port.—
The brig Charlton of Poo e, PRIDDY master, passed
by Fowey on Thursday night, all well, from New-
foundland, having left Caboneer the 4th instant.

Upon Mr. MARRYATT'S name being proposed as one of
theCommi t tee, that gentleman expressed his regret that
being under the necessity, as a Member of the House
of Commons, to attend to Committees of that House,
he could not become an efficient Member of this
Committee, and requested, therefore, that his name
might be omitted. The Honourable Gentleman
however declared, that he most anxiously wished suc-
cess to that object, which the resolutions had in view,
pledging himself to oppose his utmost efforts to the
measure referred to in all its stages. To the principle
of chartered companies he professed himself decidedly
hostile. A chartered company was in his judgment
generally an evil, because it interfered with the rights
of individuals ; but in the instance which gave rise to
this meeting, it was particularly to be deprecated as an
evil, because it would interfere with a positive good,
namely, with the interests of that House, to which he
was strongly attached, not only from a recollection
of the property which he had derived from it, and
from a regard to the majority of its members, but
from a conviction of the patriotism and public spirit,
the loyalty and liberality which belongsd to it, and
which it had on all occasions so signally displayed.—
This attachment he would endeavour to evince by his
' zeal for their cause upon this occasion.
Mr. Marryatt was repeatedly cheered, and another
name was substituted for his upon the Committee,
,After the Committee was completed, the Chairman
and Mover of the Resolutions were thanked, and the
