At eight o'clock this morning, we saw a strange sail to wind-
ward, bearing down upon us; at nine o'clock, supp.sed her to he
"in enemy, and got all clear for action ; at tea o'clock she s!iewed
French colours, and commenced Airing,; at eleven o'clock, came
to close action, which lusted for twenty-five minutes, during
which she attempted several tintes to board us, but was repulsed
with apparent has of men, and damage on several parts of her
quarter—got ready our boarding pikes, and (wed the sotali arms
• into her, when she put about and stood away from us—gave three
cheers. She mounted 12 guns, a•td, front appearance. seemed
quite new • from the look of her deck, she was very full of men.
We suffered little, except some shat through the rigging, &c.

ARMY:

The Berskhire Militia marched from Yarmouth on
triday for Stilton. A division of the Wit:ollie-do
garrison duty at the former place till relieved by ano-
ther Regiment.
The gallant 50th, the 71st HirLlarders, and the
92d or Gordon Highlanders, will' by this time have
I arrived at Lisbon.' It is said that the 71st-, whi,:h is
made into a light infantry corps, will be brigaded
with two Portuguese regiments, the brigade to he
commanded by the gallant Colonel l'acic, who so
often distinguished himself, particularly at Walche•
'ren, and in South America. The *Gordon Highlan-
ders will form part of a second Highland br:gade,
which Lord Wet.r.txcrox has formed in his army.
General Grose's Regiment (the 102 d) is gradually
fillin,, up its numbers. It came home a skeleton
from Botany Bay. The head-quarters are in Devon-
shire.

The 2d Battalion of the 36th Regimcnt has left
Worcester, where it has been quartered for upwards
of two years.
The 2d Battalion of the 011 Buffs is fast recruit-
ing its numbers : it continues quartered in Devon-

mouth. Sir MONTAGUE goes out on the Staff of ' the
Arthy in the Mediterranean, to sLrve under Sir Joux
STEWART.

Thursday last, the East Middlesex Militia, cnm--
mantled by Colonel Woou, M. P. was reviewed at
Portsmouth by the Lieutenant-Governor, General
attended by Colonels Foits•rza, Nxsat.r,
and a long train of officers. 'This fine regiment mtn-
tered 1300 men, and went through the evolutions in
a line stile. Lords Hin.I.AND and EftSiUNE, and a
long list of fashionabks, were-on the around.
An affray cola serious nature occurred on Saturday,
at Winchester. A party of recruits, belonging to the
831 regiment, having quarrelled with theilandi,rd of
their quarters there, a scuffle ensued, in wi cn the ,
landlord was seriously hurt. The culprits on this oc-
casion were Irish, and art secured till the fate of the
landlord is known.

An investigation, we understand, has been on foot
for some months past, NvYcli it is probably will soon
furnish employment for the Lawyar.i. An estate of
some consequence, in the County of Cumberland,
which has been for many years in the pr..3.cit:oll of a
younger branch of the family, is now claind by a
Gentleman in the City, who has so far proved himself
the heir in a direct line to the estate in question, that
he has lately actually obtained the Baronetage of the
family.
Letters were received on Saturday from Boston to
the 2.1 d of Augur. By the same opportunity files of
Boston rapers, and a few United States Gazettes have

the project of a constitution Er Florida in thirteen ar-
ticles, with an exordium, stating the grounds and prin-
ciples of the conddct of those by whom the Revolution
has been promoted.
By the Pitt, arrived at Portsmouth, we have re.
ceivcd letters from Madras, of which the following
is one :

MADRAS, MAY 6, 1810.
" The Pitt goes to England direct as a packet.—
You will perceive we have taken Amboyna, and
1 hope our present Expeditiop against Bourbon, and
ultimately, the Mauritius (tor which a second Expe-
dition will be ithmediately prepared), will be equally
successful.' The troops at present going from hence
consist of the 69th and 86th regiments, Hanle compa-
nies of his Majesty's 12th and 84th regiments, under
Lieutenant-Colonel Campbell, 12th and 6th Native
Infantry, and a portion of artillery. They are to take
possession of the Isle of .Bourbon, preparatory to a
combined attack, with a force from the Cape, on the
Isle of France. The entire force going against the
Mauritius is 5000 from India, and 3000 from the
Cape. Mr. Farquhar goes with the Expedition, to
be Governor of the anticipated new conquest. Belida

in accumulated treasures of every 'Admiral
Drury's shares, for Amboyna alone, is estimated at
£€50,000. The property taken there, is valued at
£300,000. There are 200,00-Abs. weight of cloves
of the best quality. Two days after the fall of the
place, a ship of 1000 tons arrived from Samarang,
laden with rice ; from the extreme scarcity of provi-
sions, the cargo was sold at six dollars per bag.—
Things teem to be quiet here, bur, I apprehend, the
flame is only ,mothered. I hope the Court of Direc-
tors and Boar,d of Control will devise some wise men--
sures, or they will throw all again into confusion.--
;General Hewett is arrived here from Bengal, 1:e was
sent for by Lord Minto. The Bucephalus frigate, vnd
Hesper sloop, are both arrived from England. We
expected a Commander in Chief by the former sh p,

Hesper, is removed into the Blanche ; and Captain
Henry Drury commands the Hesper. As :he Cape
