Sr. Swann!, we should hope, will not this year
confirm the old adage of his bringing 40days of rain
after him—he has this season sent them beforehand.

Some successes have been noticed by she squadron
under Admiral &town, from Buenos Apes, in the
South Seas; but the fate of its Commander has not
been mentioned. According to the ,accounts from
Madrid, which are to the 28th ult. through France,
this Officer landed with about 60 men on the shore
of the bay of Panama, when his movements were
watched by a body of Spanish troops, provided with
two pieces of cannon. As soon as he had proceeded
to some distance inland, his communication was cut
off with his ships, be was taken prisoner, and the rest
of his party were either killed or captured. When
the last intelligence left the colonies, he was confined
-in the Castle of Guayatil.
Lord &mourn will sail the moment the measures
taken to man his fleet shall-have accomplished that
object. Besides the public offer made of a bounty of
two months' wages to those who will volunteer for
the service, the crews of the ships which are sta-
tionary are turning over to those which have been
placed under his Lordship's command. The QUEEN
CHARLOTTE, 110 (beating his flag), Captain JAMES
DA MANE, and the blinsnms, 74, Captain PATERSON,
went out of Portsmouth harbour on Thursday ; and

The bomb vessels in tbe River, should they not
soon obtain a sufficient number of new-raised men,
will be completed from ,the crews of other peace
home ships. As the fleet is only fitting for a tempo-
nay short service, none of those appointments of
Dicers will takeplace which are considered essential
to an established meet. Lord &mourn has had the
nomination of all the Officers that are serving under
him. A large proportion of the Royal Marine Ar-
tillery, and a Rocket Beigade, have embarked on
board the bombs in the River. The Dutch fleet in
the Media:ramose we understand, will co-operate
with ours in the enterprise. It is said, that our fleet
will only proceed to coercive measures in the event
of the Algerines not conceding to the terms that will
be proposed to them.
