on her paffage to Barbadoes, by the Madame Ernouf,.
Ftench privateer, of very fuperior force, and after a
clot*: anion of an hour and a-half, compelled the ene-
n y to finer off, and afterwards chafed him for two
hours. The Irlam had two men nightly wounded.
We uncle:laud the Board of Admiralty have been
pleafe to approve of the report made of the great ca•
pacify of Cove harbour, for the receiving Mips of war
in ordinary ; and that their Lordlhips have given or-
ders for converting Haulbowling Ifland into a Spar

Store Yard.
The Alliance, Captain Rots's, and the Brothers,
Captain THORIPSON, from Honduras, are arrived at
Portfmouth. They failed from thence on the 3111 of
J.lly, with a fleet of 13 fail, under convoy of the
Houten (loop of war, which parted ft om them daring
the palfage. On the 7th of September the Alliance

efcapcd by taking to their boat:.
The Primers of Wales, CAM , from Jamaica

one man faired.
It is Aided by the Jamaica Captains, arrived at
Greenock, that five or lit fail of the fleet were taken
off the coati of Florida, during a calm, by a French
privateer, of 16 guns.
We have received a packet of Barbadoes papers to
the gth of Auguft inclufive, from one of which we ez•
trait the following articles :
•' His Majeftes fchonner Sr. Lucia. Captain
Burrsworrm, arrived Left night from Antigua ; alto
the Byam mail boat. By thefe arrivals we learn the
fi flowing particulars of a very gallant anion between
his Majefly's (hip HIPPOMINIS and the Bonaparte
French brig, of 18 nine-pounders and 546 men, in
which the enemy owe their efcape only to the mi-for-
tune of our fhip'. having too many foreigners on
board, whofe dastard fpirit made them (brink from the
aadin. His M.tjelly's fliip HIPPOPINNES, Captain
M'Ketrzte, crureing to windward of this ifland, fell
in,in long.sB.lat. t 8. with the Bonaparte brig, which,
miflaking the Hirrnmeses for an African (hip (be-
ing difguited putrpofely to decoy the encmy'sct filters),
bore down on her, when a (mart action enfued, which
lafled for come time, and the enemy being to wind-
ward, at length fell on board the Hirrosteses.—
Captain M‘Krtizie, with the greateft promptitude,
(citing the occafion to prevent the enemy's efcape,
had her boafprit lathed to her mainmaft, and calling
upon hit crew to follow him in boarding, and fecure
the viaory, he inflantly ruched upon the enemy's
deck, followed by his officers, and about eight men
only, when a fm.irt cornett enfued, and the French-
men were driven from their onatters, and beat abaft
the maiiiniall Seeing, however, that they had to
cope with fo few, they f on rallied, and the whole
crew being now engaged with this (mall band of be
roes, they were almost all :fit to pieces. Captain
M•Ktimats received fourteen revere wounds, his Firß
Lieutenant, Mr. FIERCE, and Putter, Mr. Cozzmas,
were killed, and the Mailer wounded. Thus over-
come, they were obliged to retreat, and bad but jail
time to regain the fhp (Captain Ist‘Krazts falling
fenfelefs into hermain chains), when the lathing gave
way, and the enemy fell off, and, without farthing:
renew the contcil, crowded all fail, and &aped—
The Hurons% ss has gone to Antigua to refit; and
we ari- happy to underhand that Captain
although his wounds in general arc revere, and three
of them in the head, is likely to recover."

An Martinique, on the 7th of Auto% noted&
Ilanding the blockade, there were 7o Americas vef-
fels, moil of which were newly arrived. This pro-
ceeds from an abufe of the liberality of the Brit& og
ficers : for, although the blockade is a matter of mi.
rerfAl notoriety, it has been ordered, that no sestral
velfel (hall be detained for having attempted to violate
the blockade, unlefs once turned back, and an en-
dorfement made on her regiller to that glee. The
markets at Martinique were well fupplied and cheap;

Gibraltar for America.

&regret Bill SZLLERS.—A common informer
has of late employed a number of his confederates to
go round the town to buy of oil Chops, Ice. a ftuall
quantity of fpruce beer, with a view to lodge infor-
mations agaioft the parties, for felling beer without
a licence. He began his praBices in Southwark,
where the Magiftrate conviEted the parties ; but the
informer extending his views to Middlefex, lodged k-
vcral informations at the police office, Chteen's
fluare. The print came on fora hearingon Saturday
laR before Mr. FOVINIEIL. Mr. Newsome, and Mr.
Bloatot a y, at Union Hall,when two informations were
exhibited by this common informer again( Mr. Giles,
of Greenwich, a refpeltable oilman, tot felling (prate
beer vi.hoot a licence. Mr. Attar attended for the
informer, and Mr. Goan SY for the Defendant, and
the Magiflrates, after a very long argument, and a
full and impartial inveftigatton of the feveralAfts of
Parli.tment, efpecially the 35th of Geo. 111. difmiffed
both informations, it Ling proved that the article
was tnanufaitured in this country, and that the of-
fence of fpt uce, from which it is made, is not an ea.
cifeable liquor. The .Magiftrates obferved, that if
they convifted the fellers of American fpruce beer,
they molt alto be obliged to convidt thofe who fell
vinegar, verjuice, &c. &c. who were in the fame ate.
ation. There have lately been conviftionz at this of-
fice on the fame point, it was intended to have ap-
pealed againft the conviBion, which was expected
take place on this occalion. But Mr. Guenter, by
the very ingenious and animated defence which he
' m.tde, and the foundnefs of his argument and real .
ing on the fubjelt, made it unnecerfary. Mr. Richard
' Corner. of York-flteet, Borough, attended on the
part of Defendant, as his Solicitor, and took notes
' of all that paged. The Hall was extremely myth&
and the decifion gave univerfal fatisfaltion.
M•RLAOIOUGH-STREET.—Saturday a ladientlin
examination took place at this office :—A country
fiddler who walks about the town, and is blind of
one eye, was charged with being found in the area
of a gentleman's horde in Lower Brook-flreet. . A
porter who jobs about the houfe difcovered the pri-
Inner at nine o'cicck on Friday, concealed under the
area [reps, and immediately gave info, mation to the
reit of the fee yams, who fa lied out to fecure therob-
ber. He, on beii:g dillurbed, groaned molt iialtrofijr,
and terrified the m 6,0 group of fervoa:c. The coot,
snore tett& to than her companions, moved him with
the ki chen tongs, and he was given in charge to the
watchman. The poor fellow, it appeared, had Bray-
ed tit m a n.ighbouring public houfe„ blind drunk,
and fell down the area Reps, where he was found.—
He was dikharg..d with a reprimand to refrain from
drunk:ruler's.
