Os the CAPTURE of ADMIRAL
JARVIS.
Capt. Pedrick, of the brig Fox, ar
rived at Marblehead on Sunday lalt,
from Lisbon. He failed in company
with Capt. Myrick, of Boston, who
brings the important intelligence of the
capture of admiral Jarvis's fleet, cNc.
Pi e have sent two gentlemen of veracity
from Marblehead, who conversed with
Capt. Pedrick, and made tire usual in
quiries for rews on an arrival, and he
did not e ven mention the important re
port brought by Capt. Myrick. He
was not aiked particularly the question
relative to the capture of Jarvis's fleet,
because at the time, the report was not
iu circulation—but it is certainly very
Angular that Capt. Pedrick heard no
tii og oi the important intelligence, or
if he did, and made no mention 01 it.
vVe mult wait patiently, for the ar
rival of the Hoop at Bolton, which was
to fail the next day after Capt. My
rick, for a confirmation or contradic
tion of this highly important report.
BOSTON, N ox:ember 22.
Probable Consequences of the Capture of
the British Fleet, with form remarks.
The intelligence brought from Lis
bon if authenticn'of which there seems
little room for doubt) is the greatest
blow ever given to the Britilh navy.
The greatclt number of (hips which we
remember to havemeen 101 l in the Eng
liih hiitory and ies not exceed 4or fail of
the hne—But here is a powerful fleet
qonlifling of 7 fail of the line, befidesfri
gates destined for an important expedi
tion, with transports full of provisions
and troops, taken at a time when the loss
is irreparable, when if their place is sup
plied, the channel fleet is weakened, and
England, Scotland and Ireland, laid op
en to a deTcnr. At the lowed calcu
lation theft- funs of war and transports
required rO,OOO seamen to navigate
them, arid if they had on board, as we
are told, the troops withdrawn from
Gorflca, they could not have amounted
to ids than fix or seven thousand men ;
here is a fleet and army loll—now let us
look at the consequences—England has
loll: the commerce of the Mediterranean,
consequently all her influence there
Gibraltar (to reinforce which this fleet
was deftir.ed) is left unprepared fora
liege—-her funds mu ft feel a depreflion
that will render a bankruptcy almost in
evitable, her naval reputation will be
funk in the estimation, and by a junc
tion of the French, Spanish, and Dutch
fleet ; her Channel fleet will be out-num
bered. The alarm spread over England
by an event unparalleled in the annals
of ‘naval affairs, will terrify the moft
intrepid administration, the whole plan
of the minuter will be deranged, in fad
the consequences are incalculable.

The flridell patroles will he kept up for the
fame period, u the aforementioned regiments.
The late calamities attending the City of
Savannah, will induce the officers o’ the lit if or
City Battalion of Chatham, to be extreme
lycareful, and particular in the molt calm
hours, at this period of the year—vigilance has
been deemed requisite, and is surely much more
neccflary, at a moment like the present, when
the late diftrediug wants, are not certainly
known whether to have proceeded from acci
dent or dciign—if the latter, there is no al'cer
t.aining how tar it might extend.
One third of the country or ferorul hafalon
companies, of the Chatham Militia, will in
iuccdfion, be conlidered on pat role dtuv, every
day wiihin their refpeefive dift.ifls. until the
lecond dav ol January nest 1 hoodicers com

Chatham, will report to Major Mitchell, on
whom the command of the regiment h'de

General, who if necelfary, will iifue iurthet
orders.
In caleof fire during the period above nv’n
| iioned, t'ic Dragoons will parade at their alarm
poll- and fend patroics on the leading roads to
town —they and till other patroles, will be care
ful not to injure or mifulc any pevlon or prop -

perhaps he proper, and to apprehend Haves
without tickets, or lonic token of being in
their mailers employ, will he a duty.
Major Mitchell, will be pleated to ifiuefuch
dire#ions refpetling the Town Companies
both with refpetl to patroles or cases of Er
as lie may deem proper—and he will take th
necelfary Heps to have the second Battalion,
again arranged and infpefled, and a return
thereof made to the Major General.
