ts.itd-rate, at Woolwich, iii, if* possible, in a worse
condition, which wai discovered oa being taken into
the dock foe repairing. The ship is between four and
fve years-.•4J, and has never been farther from the
Thames than to the Nore. This circumstance is no
citation to judge of the cause from whence this mis-

tiigate, that was actively employed on the American
oast during the late war, is in a similar state.

mediate neighbourhood of Calcutta I though we.
believe the ravages of that barbarous Power have
atrently extended far and wide over some of the
Botish possessions more remote from the Capital
of India.

A rumour is circulated at New York, that a new
Spanish Governor was expected at St. Augustine,
hinging auity from the Spanish Government to
