Psasasors, Arlin. 16.—Yesterday evening, at six o'clock, the
Leda frigate, of 46 guns; was hunched at this doek-yard, and at-
tracted a great number of spectators. It is now decided that the
Waterford packet station is to be removed from Milford to Pem-
broke Dock, as being the most eligible spot in the harbour for the
erection of the new pier, the expense of which will be very trifling
and as the principal part of the land iu the neighbourhood belongs
to Government, it will ultimately yield them a considerable revenue
from the buildings which will, no doubt, take place On the pro-
perty. It ie also expected that the dockyard here will be consider-
ably increased. and put on a footing with Mynioutk and Porta-
-1 mouth yards; indeed, it is remarkable that this harbour, coosidered
the finest and most capacious in the' kingdom, has been so long
neglected. There is at present Only one small battery of six guns
to protect it. It appears, however, to have been token notice of
since the visit of his Royal Highness thel.oso MON ADMDIAL last
summer, which does great credit to his discernment.

week there were four privateers, under Buenos Ayrean colours, at
St. Eustatia, with three prizes, whom' cargoes have been sold at
from 30,000 to 40,000 dollars. A ship of about 450 tons, la 4a
with coffee, has been lately carried into St. Kustatia, and is now
fitting out as a man of war brig. A ship of 500 tons, laden with
cotton and hide., from Pernambuco to Europe, is now lying under
the Island of Sabo, a prize."
Letters and Papers have been received at the Jamaica Coffee-
house up to the 2d of March. The following is an extract of a
letter from Captain Davies, of the Waterloo, dated Port Antonio,
43d February, 1828:—" On the Bth January, being 45 leagues
west of Cape Finisterre, at nine P. M. saw 'a ship near us showing
lights and firing guns to leeward. It was then blowing iffy strong ;
we hove tali and showed a light. She ran up under our stern, hailed,
and asked, s Why you no stop your shie sooner /' and told me he
would send his boats in the morning, giving us a•glan at the same
time, the shot passing between the mists. I now saw be was a
corsair, an Algerine. There was a high sea, and no byat could live
in it. We exerted ourselves ito making -ail, by lettintout the reefs,
setting courses, &c. and kept the ship away to the southward, so
that we ran ten knots. When be saw us making sail, he recom-
menced firing at us. In 20 minutes we lost sight of him, and saw
him no more. Fell in with the Duke of Bronte the next day."
EITIIAOLDINART Ciacuaisimaree.— For the last eight or. ten days,
an extraordinary motion of the sea has been felt in the channel,
insomuch that several ships outward hound could not proceed to
the westward of the Lizard, and ultimately have been obliged to
put back into Plymouth Sound and Harbour. The Mulgrave
Castle, Juvenilia/4, after encountering the sea for the last ten days,
arrived in the Sound on Monday last. The rise of tide has been
great for several days following. viz. 19 feer, which has produced a
grand and terrific burst upon the Breakwater, many feet above
the crane-heads.
