On the 25th the King went on board of Admiral Nel

next morning the Engiifh fleet made fail; we arc ignorant
of its defljnation; numbers think it syill repair to Malta;
others to Corfu; others pretend, and it was not without
foundation, that it will go dirvdiy to Gvita Vecchia, iu

Seven or eight la.’gs frigates appeared off Kill ala Bay
on the morning of the 17th, Two gentlemen went on
board, who were detained priuvvrrs. Ihe frigates soon
afterwards flood away to tlie northward, either in confe
qtience of hearing of the fate of the Brett armament, or of
tlie westerly wind, which was blowing very hard in shore.
This fquadroii is known to have failed from Rochelle.
November 10. On Tuesday arrived at Falmouth, the
Bellona French frigate, one of Sir J. B. Warren’s prizes,
taken on the coattof Ireland; she has 390 French soldiers
and 20 seamen on board, and only about 40 Engiifh Tail
ors; ftie has loft all her mails, and makes a great deal of
Water.
November 13. This morning a mail arrived from Dub
lin with intelligence of the 9th inst. No mention whate
ver is made of the supposed capture of two of the French
frigates which appeared in Killala Bay. We are concerned
to fay we now entertain very serious apprehensions that
they have escaped from the purfutt of his Majetty’t fliips,
as it appears by a letter from Bristol of the 1 oth that the
Terrible, to which it was supposed one of them had struck,
had arrived on the 9th in the Biiftol Channel, driven in
thither by ffrefs of * eather. The Terrible continued tlie
chafe for 5 2 hours, during which the gale increased to such
a degree that her fails were torn to pitces, and llie was ob
liged to bear up. There is a chance, however, that feme
of our numerous squadrons and cruders may fall in with
the enemy’s (hips before they reach their own ports.
November 17. Tins morning arrived a mail from
Dublin, which brought letters and papers of the 13th inst.
An application had been made to the Court of King’s Bench
in Ireland for a Habeas Corpus to bring in the body of
Tone, in order to delay his execution, which had been
granted. The convidl had, however, made an attempt on
his own life, by cutting his throat iitni ear to ear with a
case knife, that prevented the writ from being carried into
execution; he was placed under the cuftodv of the Sheriff,
and a ftr iit waistcoat put on him to prevent his repeating
the attempt.
The rebel Holt had on the 13th been brought a prisoner
into the Cuttle Yard.

Sirius, Grimfby Roads, November 1, 1798.
Mr Lord,
I have the honor to inform your Lord ship that, in pur
suance of orders I received from Vice Admiral Sir Rich
ard Onflow, Bart. I parted company with tlie fleet on the
evening of the 23d lilt, to reconnoitre the force of the enelny
in the Texel, At 8 <t m. on the following morning, the
Tyxel bearing s. by F.. 1 o leagues, I fell in with the two
Dutch frigates named in tlie margin,* at that time about
two miles dittance from each other. Palling within gun
shot of the lcewardmoft of them I flood on until I could
(upon tacking) nearly fetch the weathermoft, (the Waak
zaamheid) my objedl being to prevent their junction; and
by this means, that being accomplithcd, I had the fatisfac
tion to cut off the latter, and bring her to about 9 o’clock,
when flie hauled down her colors, and fired a gun to lee
ward, As soon as the prisoners were exchanged I made
fail after the other, and, though nearly out of light, I had
the good fortune before 5 p. m. to bring her to a kind of
running adion, which continued about half an hour, within
musket fliot at times, during which she kept up a fmartbut
ill direded difeharge of cannon and mulketry, when flie
struck to his Majeftv’i ship; she is called the Furie, and
under the orders of the Captain of the Waakzaamheid, and
had tlie Commandant of the troops and a number of offic
ers on board. lam happy to add there was only one man
wounded bv a musket balß and that his Majcfts’s ship fuf
fered but little, one (hot through her bowsprit, her rigging,
&c. but little cut. Tlie loss on board the Fur. *.vas 8 killed
and 14 wounded; her hull, marts, &c. have fuffered much.
I ihould be wanting in gratitude were I not to express
ltiy acknowledgments of the spirited condud maniftfted by
alt my officers and fhipbs company on this cccafion; parti
cularly so on account of the‘ redudion of numbers, by
maiming the other prize, (in which I sent Mr. Goflet, my
senior Lieutenant) and in securing the officers, troops, &c.
_ taken out of her.
1 his expedition has been waiting an opportunity of fail

o’clock the preceding night.
I have the honor to be, See. Rickard King.

Frenchman.) The crew, confiding of black, yellow, cop.

knives and daggers threatened to put him to death, calling
him a damn’d Anglo American, which forced the farmer
to take his chance in the river, and he accordingly jumped
overboard, and was taken up in a boat from the (hore, or

Waftiington has returned to the peaceful fliades of Mount

the armed Ichconer Neptune, from the Weft Indies, Thb.
mas M‘Connell, who was.captured in the fchocner High,
lander of Baltimore, mounting 12 guns, and carrying 22
men. Thomas M‘Conneli informed Capt. Willis that, on
the 4th of November, in lat. 19. 10. long. 59. he fell in
with a French privateer from Guadeloupe, mounting 12
guns, 9 and 6 pounders, with 96 men and 80 mufleets,
whom he engaged for 3 glaflts. In the beginning of the
adlion M Connell’s firft Mate was (hot through the right
shoulder, and his fecend killed; apd, owing to the superior
number of men and mu/ketry on board the enemy, was
obliged to ft ‘ike. M*Conell had 3 i officer
killed, firft officer aryl 1 seamen wounded; the. enemy had
8 killed and 3 wounded, and received much damage in the „
hull and rigging, which obliged them to put; into Eafleierre
to repair, where they carried M’Connell and crew, whnm
they immediately put into gaol. The crew were loaded
with irons, and obliged to sublist on 4 ounces of fait beef
and bread for every 24 hours. The sixth day after impri
sonment a cartel was sent in bv the Stdebay ‘frigate, when
they were liberated. The firft Lieutenant and 1 frr nrai
were left behind in the hospital sick of tlr ir wounds. Capt.
M‘Connell received the worst of treatment and bad lan
guage from the French during his confinement; the only
name they called him and the rest of the prisoners was,
“ John Adams’s Jack Afies.” There were about ico
Americans in prifen in Bafieterre gaol when Capt. M‘Con
null left that place. ;
We are informed that Col. Zachariah Cox lias made his j
