MAILS Aims') THIS UM—Dublin I—Waterford I—Guenney

Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's, dated Lisbon,
Sept. 6—" I beg to acquaint you, that intelligence has been re-
ceived here of the capture of a Portuguese schooner of war (Con
eettao) on the 31st ultimo, by a privateer of equal force, without
firing a gun. She was said to be from Viana to this city, laden
with arms. News has also been received of the reduction of the
Island of Madeira by King Almost's forces, on the 23d ultimo."
Extract of a letter, dated Lisbon, August :in—" A corsair, or
brig, has appeared off the Bar, which has captured a vessel going
from Figueira to blaranham, called the Gratiado, and has captured
others. To-morrow a brig of war is to sail, in order to give con-
voy to some vessels. It is also that the Boa Nova and the Faidra
do Porto have been taken; but with regard to the latter vessel,
there is some uncertainty."

Another letter of the same date says—" Two small brigs, ap-
parently privateers, have been seen of our Bar these few days past,
and it is reported as certain, that a Portuguese vessel, called the
Gratiado, has been captured on her voyage front Figueira to Ma-
ranham. The capture is also reported of the brig Boa Nova.
which sailed from Oporto to ilia Janeiro. To-morrow two brigs
of war are to sail, and the Dom Fin and the Armegos, bound to
Bahia' will avail ot their anizing."

FROM THR PLYMOUTH JOURNAL, SkIPT. 12.

We understand that during the late cruise, the Marine Artillery
on hoard the Britannia and Prince Regent, proved highly effective;
and that in the course of their practice, which was firing at a cask
while the ships were under sail, scarcely a shot missed the mark.
' Two thousand barrels of gunpowder were used in this practice.
Extract of a letter from an Officer on board his Alajesty's ship
Britannia' written at sea, shortly before the close of the late ex
perimental eruize
" Having seen it stated in one of the Papers that we Were
beaten at all points by the Regent, I think it right to offer a few
i remarks upon the subject. It is true the first day attic our sallies
from Torbay, she beat us very numb, though not so ninth as we
beat her in going in; it is also true she did beat us for two or
three days after. Now then, allow me to state undeniable facts in
explanation. We were obliged to set up our rigging and stays in
Torbay, we also were obliged to complete r.ur water: this most
decidedly altered the Britannia's trim, and impeded her sailing—
for be it known Britannia is no dandy, she does not like bee stays
too taught laced. Again, her bottom was very dirty indeed, but
that was easily remedied, and by making het jump about a little,
we loosened her stays and rigging. In addition to all this, we got
rid of a great deal of water tin warel—she was then more by the I
stern, and soon recovered her superiority. She is without excep-
tion the finest ship I ever bad my foot in; she carries sail to ad-
miration, and is a most excellent sea boat, but very tender in her
trim; in that respect equal to soy frigate. The Regent is also a
most beautiful ship, and I do not think there are two finer ships in
the world, but I cannot get over that guinea pig stern—sbe looks
about the stern like as old goose that bas lost all her feathers."
There were a great number of Ituuian and Polish Jews amongst
the crews of the Russian ships which have lately quitted this port,
sad as they served reluctantly (in obedience to a Decree issued by
the Emperor, making them liable to service), strict care was used,
while they were here, to prevent any of them landing, let they
should desert. In spite, however, of the precautions, some of
them, we are informed. contrived to effect their escape in disguise.
They complained much of their hard fare and usage. They were
visited on board by several of the Jews of this town, and supplied
with some better provisions.
Notwithstanding the acquittal of Sir J. Dow.c, by
the tribunal before which be was tried, it appears that some forms
of the Portuguese Courts still prevent his liberation.

It was stated at Cadiz that the remonstrance of the
English Conaul-General at Gibraltar, againu the seizure of the
Peraeoerance, had been received by the Emperor of Moaocco with
real civility, and restitution of the vessel was hay expected.
