PLYMOUTH, APRIL ft
Ti.a unfavourable state of the wind still prevents
e,e Samos and CHRISTIAN VII. front sailing iciti
their destination at Basque Roads. Arrived the
EvcorNll3R gun-brig, from Dartmouth, to which
place she convoyed a Dock-yard lighter, with stores
to fit Oa the NORTH STAR sloop of war, built at that
port. The Spaniards on board the Iphigenia fri-
ate, again suspended the effigy of Judas Iscariot the
g
t%':ole of yesterday, and at sun-set threw it overboard 4
wLen one of them, according to the bigotted custom
their country and religion, jumped over after it,
a large clasp knife in his hand, to rip it up ; the
Strength of the tide, however, drew the unfortunate
faatic under the vessel, and he was drowned.—

KINGSTON, JAMAICA, FEBRUARY 17.
Yesterday his Majesty's ship RAINBOW, of 22 guns,
Captain WooLnwinGE, and Avow. brig, of 18 guns,
Captain FRAZER, anchored at Port Royal. On Tues-
day last, off Altavella, the RAINBOW descried a large
sail, to which she gave chace, and continued so for
'A hours, when on nearing her, she hove too, and
proved to be a French frigate of the largest class, and
full of troops ; an action immediately commenced,
and kept up for an hour and 25 minutes, within pis-
tol-shot, when she bore away, leaving the RAINBOW
almost a perfect wreck. The Ayes brig fortunately
came up at this time and raked the enemy, who then
wore round and engaged the Avow for upwards of
an hour, when finding the AVON also considerably!
initred in her sails and rigging, she bore away and
unfirttinately escaped. The RAINBOW and Avow
1:av:: suffered considerable injury, having received
several shots between wind and water, and had all
their sails, rir;ging, masts, &c. completely cut up,
und were for some time unmanageable. The RAlN-
;cit: Lid 18 men wounded, many of them severely ;
ard the Avow had two men killed, and Lieutenant
Currts REID and Mr. SHAKESPEAIt wounded in the
arm, and eight men severely wounded. Two of the'
Avon's guns were disabled during the action. The
enemy also received considerable. damage during the
combat, and must hive lost a great number of men,
as their decks were crowded previous to the engage-
ment.

MARCH 4.—From the ir.formation derived from;
the schooner General Romana, which arrived on 1
Friday se'nnight, of her having seen the French fri-1
gate which was engaged by the RAINBOW and AvoN,
the Admiral dispatched the BRAZEN sloop of war,
of 18 guns, Captain SHEPHERD (the only vessel of
war then in post capable of proceeding so directly to
sea), in quest of her on Saturday morning. The
BRAZEN was got ready with extraordinary celerity,
not having a topmast standing at three P. M. the 1
preceding day; and, besides 4.r own crew, about 401
or 50 men were sent on board of her from other ves-
sels. From subsequent information it appears, that
the above frigate. is not the only enemy's vessel that
i,as made her appearance in these seas. A small
bwedish schooner, named the Carola, from Aux
Cayes, bound to St. Bartholomew's, with sundries,
eeta incd by the Tstatisti sloop of war, of 18 guns,
arrived on Saturday, brought advices from Captain
CRANBY, of the POLYPHEMUS, which ship she fell in
with a few days before, of his having gained intel-
ligence of four French frigates being seen in the
Mona Passage. The Hon frigate, of 32 guns, Cap-
