TIORS INDIANIAN, W ROBERT LIVIE, ESQ. t " Margate, Dec. 19, 1811.  " I am sure you Will b'a much surprised on receiving this from this place. I shall just give you a detail of my proceedings :—Ott , Wednesday the 11th instant we left Margate and run tbtoigh the Dctwns in Company with the Arnistort, and earned a fair wind j with us till 10 A.M. of the 12th ; the wind therf shifted to the Ibl.W. and moderated; atthret P.M. of the 13th, saw P•24-Isy I ' Head, bearing E. by N. about seven leagues, and Shoreham Church N. kept beating down all the 13th with a strong breeze; 14th, .blowing hard in the first part, middle, a beak, gale at W. with a heavy see;' Made all ready for bearing up in the morning, but at three At M. the wind suddenly shifted in a most violent squall to N.N.E. dewed all the sails up and wore the ship with her head to the N.N.W.; 16th, bore up for the Downs, close-reefed top• sails, and lay-to under bare poled till day I Os; then bore away with the wind at N.W.; at eight A.M. caw the land about Boulogne, bearing E.S.E. four or Me leagues ; at noon hauled across Ilfor the South Foreland (blowing very hart); an the 17th a strong gale, finding it impossible to make the 124sWrs and the people much worn out, and drifting to the French mast, tante to the deterininatloo of anchoring. " At nine p. m. gave her another cable, in hiapet of holding on/ rill day-light (as the pilot was ignorant of the North Seas), and if Ishe drove I lied di termined to cut and take on Myself the charge lof the /hip, and getting Into the North Seas, as the only hope left of saving her. At a quarter before six a. in. found the ship dna: i ing fast on. the French coast ; cut the cable and cast her with her `• bead to the N. E. made as much sail as the ship could bear. At . day-light found We were three or tour miles from Calais Beach. At ten more moderate, made more sail and got off the mast. AR eleven six French lager., in clime of us, ckared the ship; and prepared for action ; but his Maje-ty's ship Cracker came down fo us and fired a fuse shot, whet t hey alt decarrped, and ran down to sotto. vessels to leeward, wiiith f have every reason to believe they capturrd.. " I am particularly inekhied to the Commander of the Cracker l'or his attention, who gave us a pia, and kept company with us until we were in sight of the Goodwin lights ; and bad it nor been for hlm, I fear that tpe Tigris and all on board would never More have been heard al."  It. was reported this morning that another dreadinurder had been committed hst night in the commercial-matt—the person said to have been mut. Aertid was a publican. It was also reported that two 'li'olice*Ofitcers in attempting to secure a party of ieiseadio Murdered ; one of them was said to have been found at day-light thik morning, lying in the Cornmeteral-road, with the upper part of his head actually cut off. We find, upon mintite enquiry, that with respect to any additional murders having been committed. the above report is totally grounder.. There was a desperate rencontre, however, last night, fn the Com: thercial-road,betweefra party of Polße Office's and a 'number of Irishmen, who succeeded in• rescuing one of their countrymen who was in custody on suspicion of being one of the murderers. We regret to say, that the rioters completely escaped, but not until many blows were exchanged, and, some desperaW wound's were inflicted oti both sides. A Gentleman who has seen the situation by whirl' the murderers maditheir escape from MiWilliamson's premises, thinks it Hs duty to state,,tbat they must necessarily have soiled themselves in front with clay, as on leaping from the window they alighted at the font of a sloping clay bunk, which being very wet and slippery, they must have gained the dunanfit on their hands mid knees. This' circumstance,/ if generally known, may lead to the detection of the offenders, at clay soils is not easily removed from the Clothes. It should also be known, that one of the murderers had on a rough great coat.
