CORK, FEBRUARY 23.

Thursday the FORTUNRE frigate, Captain Vaasa-
TAUT, arrived in this harbour, after a short cruize to
the westward, during which we lament to say a most
disagreeable occurrence arose. Whilst cruizing on
the south-west coast the Captain descried an enemy's
privateer close to the land, and was preparing to bear
down upon her, when a calm suddenly took place,
upon which the boats of the frigate were immediately
manned; when we lament to add the enemy permitted
the boats to approach so close as that the men were
nearly in the act of boarding, when he poured in a
close and destructive fire, by which a number of va-
luable lives has been lost. The frigate was unable to
support the boats, being considerably to leeward, at
the same time that the enemy, by extraordinary exer-
tion in using his sweeps, succeeded in effecting his
escape. Report states the toss of the Fonrusite at
44i killed and wounded ; among the latter of whom
are the First and Third. Lieutenants; apd amongst the
former two Midshipmen, and about 21 seamen ; but
we hope this account has over-rated the numbers-

We are happy to be informed that there is a very
general intention to devote the Pulpit en the Fast
Day, to the furtherance of the Subscription for the
Relief of the British Prisoners now suffering in France.
Several Americans taken in the French service, and
confined as prisoners of war, have been allowed to
enter into our service ih the Navy.
ORATORIO.—The second performance at Covent-
rrarden Theatre attracted a very full house last even-
'
mg. The selections did credit to the judgment of
Messrs. Asturr, and the audience testified their ap-
probation by loud plaudits. CATALAN! was in char-
ming voice, and gave Gi.t:ca's beautiful air " Non
vi Ter6ute," with the mast happy effect. Mrs. Dicaons
and lirmata at were encored in " Tqeder let us raw the
fields." The ehorusses were strikingly grand.
Yesterday being the Anniversary of Sr. DAVID,
Tutelar Saint of Vales, the Nobility and principal
Gentry of that ancient and respected principality as.
sembled at an early hour in the morning at the Frge.-
masons"Pavern, in Great Queen-street, whence they
went in procession, accompanied by the children of
the Welch Charity School, to St. James's Church,
where an appropriate sermon was preached—thence
to Carleton House, to pay their respects to the Prince
of WALLS; after which they returned again to the
Freemasons' Tavern, where the Noblemen and Gen-
tlemed particularly interested in the direction of the
charity transacted business concerning it. A grand
dinner afterwards took place, at which near 400 per-
'ons of the residents, and friends of the prin-
cipality and prosoters of the charity attended.

NITCREZe DECEMBER 17.
' • Strst as our paper was going to ptyst, we ...-
formed of the arrival at this place of Captain Patter-
son, of the navy, from Baton Rouge ; he brings,
we are informed, certain intelligence of the, Western
tert of Florida having been peaceably given up to
United States—that the proper authorities in the
pay of our Government, now at Baton Rouge, had
received certain assurances that the town and fort of
Mobile would be evacuated without opposition, and
that possession of the whole country, as far as. the
Perdido, would be given to the United'States on de-
' =and. It is conjectured that Governor Folch
_has
received orders from the Havannah, as to the relin-
quishment of Florida to the United States, according
to the Treaty of Session ; this corresponds with the
report from Pensacola; of an arrangement having
been made, by authority of the Regency of Spain, fur
delivering this country to the United States.
detachment of troops which marched under the coal-
mand of Lieutenant-Colonel Pike, we understand, di.l
not reach Batoh Rouge, being met on their way h f
an express, with orders for their return; and they are,
accordingly, we learn, on their march back to Camp
Dearborn, near this place.
BALTIMORE. JANUARY 2s.
By the schooner Express, from Rits Janeiro, at-

rived yesterday, we learn that official news of im-
portance from the river Plate had reached Rio Jant•iro
for some time ; the latest accounts were to Novem-
ber 20. Private letters stated, the inhabitants of Chili
had followed the example of Buenos Ayres, in elect- •
ing a Junta. The troops of the latter bad arrived at
Jujeoy, and were receivei with oreii arms.
The Governor of Paraguay, who was marching to .
Santa Fe, bad returned to his government, finding the
inhabitants very little inclined to assist him. No
doubts were entertained of the ultimate success of the
Juntas. The naval force from Monte Video had
raised the blockade of Buenos Ayres for A few days,
when several American vessels had got into port;. it
had again returned, with a firm determination to ex-
clude all vessels except those bearing, that flag, to
which permission had been
.granted to enter bps* ar-
rangement with Admiral De Courcy:
On Monday the Royal Iftlit was ienewed for 6.,
first time s:nce the indisposition of his, MAJESTY.—
The Marquis CORNWAPLI% the Master of the King's
stag-hounds, gave orders for the deer to be in reaLi-
ness for the day's diversion at nine o'clock, at which
time a remarkably fine deer started at South.hill Park,
with a numerous field of gentlemen sportsmen., At .
first, being started from the cart,* sheered great sport,
by running with much swiftness through the enclosure
by Warkingham, taking the right towards the flirts.?
where he ran with great speed near Bagshot, making
double back towards Sunning Hill, where he made for
Windsor Great Park, taking a leap in by Sand Pit
Gate, and ran amongst a herd of deer ; they 'all sct
off full speed from him except one, who joined him in
the chace, till he fame to the double gate in the Lon
Walk, which he leaped, and lett the other to his pur-
suers. He was at length taken in a large ditch near
the bottom of the Long Walk, after an excellent run
for near three hours. During the chace, a number of
sportsmen were obl;ged to relinquish 'their pursuit,
owing to their horses knocking up, the, gronadheing
so excessively wet.
