Extract of a letter from Gibraltar, dated the 14th
of April
" On the 29th of March, at 2 o'clock, two'
strange armed vessels were discovered from this
place, and about an hour, two lofty (nips appeared
10 thefoutliword, two frigates and two cutler bngs
immediately went out in pursuit, and about 7 we
heard a very (harp cannonading, which continued
till 8> but as neither of the (hips have returned, we
are ignorant of the event On the 4th inltanta
French fquadrorr of seven men of war and two fri
gates came-out of Cadix, wheie they pafled the
winter. The fame day, Admiral Man Tailed with
6 seventy fours and 3 frigates, having his flap on
board the Windsor Caftl<;, of #8 gwis : Latt -Sun
day, about 3 p. m. we heard a heavy hn.ig, whr.-h
continued till 2 a. m. but the consequence is not
known here. The Moorilh eruifers have brought
in feyeral Danish, Swedifn and Poruiguefe prizes,
and we are apprehenfiv of the Algertnes being a
again at war with us."
Capt. Sutfen, of the fcho'oner Difpateh, informs
that a (loop from Surinam brought certain accounts
of the arrival there of a Dutch fleet of fix men of
war ; and that upon the artivaloftwo more, which
had been separated from the reft, an attack was to
be made on the English at Deroatara, who had
there a sixty font andrwo frigstes, and were repair
wig the works when Capt. Stutfon failed, in cpnfe
qaence of the above mentioned intelligence.

By the brig Rose, Capt. Meaney, arrived at this
port on Wednesday last from the Isle of France,
we have the Gazette of that place of the 2d Ger
minal (March 2id,) from which is translated the
following very lingular account of a naval a&ion
between the Triton, one of theEnglifh East-In
dia Company's (hips, carrying twenty twelve
pounders on her deck, fix four pounders on her
forecaftle, and 136 men, and a French schooner,
with a few small cannon and .17 men. .//. D. A.
Capt. Surcouf, commander of the corsair I'Emi
lie, perceiviug that his veflel had loft her fuperion
ty of failing, resolved to quit her and 10 arm the
schooner le Kartier, which he had taken on the
arms of Bengal, being a remarkable good sailer.—-
: He fitted out this schooner .with some small cannon,
and nnt nn of His. cicut-iJeaxiniJ-- L' Rmilie,
on the 23d of January, under the command of Ci
tizen Croizet, to make his way for the Isle 01
France.
On the 28th iii the evening he perceived a ship
for which he immediately made fail and boarded her
daring the night ; this was the Diana, Captain
Thompson, coining from Bengal. The next day,
the 22th, in the morning, le Kartier 'perceived to
the windward another (hip, to which he gave chace,
and come up with her about 8 o'clock. This (hip
feeing a schooner approach her, took it te be a pi
lot boat, from the Ganges, lay to, hoilled her co
lours and fired a gun. 'Surcouf got to the wind
ward, and notwithstanding the superiority of the
enemy wiiich he had before him, after having been
aflured of the good difpofitiou and courage of his
crew, he refolved'to take pofleffion of her or peri(h
in the attempt. Arrived within piltol (hot he fired
three rounds with his camion, and caused all his
mufquetry to fire upon the vefiel, and without wai
ting longer, boarded the Englifhmin with 17 of his
crew, and after a combat of an hour and a half on
board the veflel, Capt. Surcouf became mailer of
his prize. T
This veflel is the Triton, belonging to the Eti
glifti East India Company ; (he had touched at
Madras, where (he left a part of her cargo, and was
on her rout for Bengal.
The French had one man killed and arjother
wounded, but the latter is out of danger. The
Triton had 8 men killed, among whom was Capt.
Burnyhcat, the commandant of the artillery, and
many wounded. All the prisoners were put, for
the moment, on board the Kartier, under the guard
of three men only, until the Diana came up, which
Surcouf had ransomed for 30,000 rupees, and on
board of which he put all his prisoners, after hav
ing drawn up an engagement that they (hould not
serve against France or her allies, until they had
been legally exchanged.
