NAVAL INTALLIGBNCII.

PLYMOUTH, SEPTEMBER 26.
Two French prisoners were yesterday brought froml
on board one of the prison-ships in Hamoaze, and
lodged in the town-prison, on a charge of forging
Bank of England Notes, in conjunction with other
prisoners, to a considerable extent. In the present
instance, the Notes are said to be so well executed,
that they are not to be distinguished from the real
ones by a common observer. The men are remanded
for a future examination, in order to give the Solicitor
of the Bank, or his Agent, an opportunity of attending.
—Arrived the TONNANT, 80 guns, from a cruize off
Brest. A letter by this conveyance states, that the
enemy still continue to make the most unexampled
exertions in the equipment and forwarding their navy,
but they shew no disposition to come out, while we
have a single ship of war on the coast.—Sailed the
ALPHEA schooner,:with a number of light transports,
for Portsmouth, to take troops on board.

Extract of a letter from a young Midshipman on
board his Majesty's ship THAMES, the Hon. Captain
WALDEGRAVE, Commander :
" Off Naples, June 24, 1511.
14 We made an unsuccessful attack, on the 16th of
'this month, on an enemy's convoy, under the town
of Cetraro, some way above Amanthea, with the Cis*
Peata-s, Captain CLIFFORD. It was late in the even,
ing when we saw them ; they were hauled up on the
beach. About half•past seven we commenced a fire
upon the town, (anchored about three quarters of a
mile off shore), which soon drove the inhabitants out
of their houses ; our boats then went away to attempt
to launch them, which proved ineffectual, owing to
their being so very heavy, and also the disadvantage
of its being quite dark ; they were, however, all burnt
and destroyed. I forgot to mention that our Captain
went ashore himself, and was there most part of the
time, encouraging the men, launching the vessels,
and seeing the marines keep up a good fire. The
enemy kept up fire, at intervals, with musketry.—
The convoy consisted of nine very large feluccas, and
one smaller vessel, laden with cotton and oil, going
to Genoa. They were chiefly armed with two or three
guns apiece, which, as the vessels were burning, kept
popping off. lam very sorry they could not get
them off, as it was a muck more valuable convoy than
that of Amanthea. lam very sorry indeed, to tell
you, amongst the wounded was Cornwall ; but luc-
kily, it is only a flesh wound through the thick part
of the leg—he is now doing very well, in a cot in the
Captain's cabin."
Advices have been received at the Admiralty, of
Lieutenant JoNes, in the Acrivn schooner, off
L'Orient, having performed a most brilliant service,
in attacking a distinct convoy of the enemy's coasters,
and has, single-handed, brought away one brig and
two sloop; laden. The ACI'IVE was exposed to a
most galling fire from the enemy's batteries, but
feared no danger, and performed her service most
heroically.

An account has also been received at the Admi-
ralty, of the loss of his Majesty's sloop ALACRITY,
Captain PALMER; she struck, atter an action of one
hour and a half, being in a situation that the enemy
raked her severely. Captain Pat.stsa was wounded
in a second broadside, and taken below; his wound
brought on a locked jaw, and be died about the mid-
dle of June. The First Lieutenant was killed, and
the Second absent in a prze. •
