A letter, dated Toulon, the 11th oh. contains an
account of a gallant action between the Guadaloupe.
Capt. TETLEY, and a French corvette of 22 euns, with
a zebec, when both effected their escape. The action
took place off Cape Creme. Capt. TETLEY intrepidly
ran his brig alcmgside the corvette, and silenced him
in twenty minutes. Her consort, the zebec, during
this time lay on the quarter of the Guadaloupe, pour.
ing in a galling fire, which her attention to the cor-
vette rendered it impossible to return. They ht.th ran
away, and succeeded in getting under the protection
of the batteries on shore, or they would have been ine-
vitably taken. The first Lieutenant (LN'tirrs:) and
nine men were severely wounded, four of them dan-
gerously ; one man was killed, and the hull and sails
of the Guadaloupe suffered much damage.
A Court-Martial was held a short time since, off
Toulon, on Lieutenant LEE, Royal Marines, of his
Majesty's ship Achille, for an action unbecoming the
character of a Gentleman ; which was proved, and he
was sentenced to be dismissed his Majesty's service.
Friday a Court Martial was held on board the Gla-
diator, for the trial of George Wilson, a seaman, be-
longing to 'the Royal William, for desertion. The
charge being proved he was sentenced to receive 250
lashes. The same day Richard Stratton, seaman of
his Majesty's ship Diadem, was tried for the like of-
fence, which was also proved, and the prisoner sen-
tenced to receive 200 lashes.

We understand that a Courier, yesterday morning,
arrived at the Offices of Government, with dispatches
from the Court of St. Petersburgh.

A vessel arrived yesterday from the French coast,
which she left so recently as the 17th. It was then re-
ported that BONAPARTE waa on the eve of a distant
journey,but whether to Spain or Poland was uncertain.
_By this conveyance we are also informed, that about
1000 Dutch seamen had been taken ores of the ships in •
the Texel, and marched to Paris under a strong escort.
No cause is assigned for this order. They could be of
I little use on board French ships of war, except under
Dutch Officers, as ,they are to wman ignorant of the
French language.

" Trave lier: see strange 71in,; !"—Mr. SADLER and
Lieut. PAGET, passing over London in their aerial
voyage, describe it to have appeared as small as a 1. 11.
!age ; and that they could not identify it till they saw
the three bridges !! ! This reminds us of their prede
cessor, Governor Sascito, who affirmed that in his
journey through the air, he saw the earth as small as
a grain of mustard•reed ; and the people upon it ap-
peared no larger than hazle mai !
The inhabitants of Castle-street are greatly annoyed
i
!by the idle report of a ghost at the house of a carver
' and gilder in that neighbourhood, although the g %sips
state that the supernatdral agent has not been seen s nce
IThursday last. The Police Officers in attendance had
great difficulty, on Sunday night, to keep in order the
multitude who had assembled. It turns out that this
report originated ten days ago, in ccnsequente (limn
lasses having been alarmed by a kind of horn or speak-
ing trumpet at the back .part of the premises, which
was repeated in the course of the evening. .
