PLYMOUTH, MARCH I.

Yesterday sailed the TARTAR frigate, the MARINER
gun-brig, and Muu.sr schOoner, with about 40 sail
of merchantmen, coasters, and light transports, under
convoy for Portsmouth and the Downs. There were
no arrivals this day. The AMAZON frigate sailed on a
cruise. Several transports have arrived here, which
left Lisbonl4 days ago,under convoy of the POICTIERS,
74, which ship stood on to Portsmouth, with the rest
of the convoy. The DISPATCH packet, which arrived
at Falmouth on Wednesday from Surinam, brings
intelligence that several stout French privateers were
still cruising against our commerce in the West Indies.
The Union cartel, sailed from this port yesterday far
Morlaix, with Messrs. ..hiss, UPSON, and BAYARD,
three American Gentlemen, charged with dispatches
from Mr. PINCKNEY. Peremptory orders were re-
ceived here yesterday, for the Emu frigate to prepare
to return to America, with Mr. PINCKNEY, who with
his suite and domestics is expected here early in the en-
suing week. Arrived the American ship Canton, from
New Brunswick for Liverpool, after having been taken
by a French privateer, and retaken by the Potions
man of war. A young girl, about 16, belonging to
respectable parents at MiUbrook, near this place, hav-
ing clothed herself in boy's attire, went on Wednes.

A paragraph having appeared in most ofthe Papers,
stating, that the ship Mercury, .Wirssos master, had,
on the night of thelth ultimo, beat off three French
privateers, near Dungeness ; Captain BELL, of his
Majesty's schooner Palen, has published a letter, in
which.he satisfactorily proves, that the three vessels
alluded to in Captain WiLson's statement, were Ki ng's '
ships, which were fired into by the Mercury ender
a mistaken notion that they were French privateers.
One of the cases, relative to the seizure of ships in
the PrAltIC, came on, on Saturday, before Sir JA mt.
MiNseizz.n, in the Court of Common Pleas. The
action was brought by the assured against the under-
writer. The vessel was bound to Wismar, and within
seven miles of her port of discharge, she was taken
possession of by an enemy's gun-boat, carried in, and
condemned. —The assured claimed the amount of his
loss from the underwriter, who refused to pay, because
the policy contained a warranty freeing the vessel
from capture in furl. Many witnesses were examined,
and the Judge in his charge expressed his opinion in
favour of the underwriter ; but the Jury found for the
plaintiff. A new trial is applied for ; but before that
eats take place, we understand that the decision of ths
:witch on the question generally, will pot
many of the causes in clispute.—Several hundred ac-
tions are pending on this momentous subject.
