JOHNS, (Antigua) February 3. Admiral Coc'trane, who arrived at Eng- lish harbor on Wednesday last, in the Isor- thumberland, with the Canada and three frigates having on board the 15th regiment, and 100 artillerymen, sailed again from thence on Saturday for Barbados. We are happy to record an exploit, per- formed by the officers and crew of his ma- jesty's ship Galatea, which lor cool intrepi- dity, is not perhaps excelled by any to be found in the annals of naval history. On the 21st January, while cruizing to the east- ward of Cape Cadiro on the Spanish Main, this ship fell in with and chased the French national brig Lynx, but a calm coming on and the enemy using their sweeps, captain Savers, of the Galatea ordered the boats to be hoisted out and manned. At 3 P. M. five of these with 70 men under the com- mand of lieut. Combe, proceeded after the brig, and it" was not until half-past io at night, and after having rowed near forty miles, that our enterprising tars .came up with her. A very severe action ensued, which lasted twenty minutes, when the e- nemy submitted to the superior tprowes of the British. . The loss on our side was 9 killed, among whom was the gallant lieut. Walker, and so wounded, in which number were all the other officers except lieutenant Gibson. The French had 14 killed and 21 wounded, of the former was the first lieut. who formerly commanded the Bonaparte, now the Pert in his majesty's service. The commanding officer is, We understand, dan- gerously wounded. The Lynx is of the first class of brigs, pierced for eighteen guns and carrying 14 French 24 pounders, and two sixes, with a completment of 161 men. She is a very fine vessel and has been pur- chased into the-service under the name of L'Heureux. Lieut. Watt, late of the Hart, is appoint- ed to the command, the Lynx is now at En- glish harbor, where she arrived yesterday.

NEW-YORK, April .9 Arrived, the brig Speculator, Lee, 19 days from Charleston. This brig, by the una- nimous consent, of the capt. and passengers, was ran ashore at Gravetcnd bay during the gale, for the preservation of lives aad pro- perty. Passengers, P. Iveteltas, C. Whit- lace, T. Dandy, C. F. Rousset, T. Ro- gers, J. Ryan, F. Wilson and others. The brig Almira, 14 days from Savan- nah—she rode out the gale at anchor under Staten-island. The pilot-boat Ulysses, which was yes- terday sent down with men by the insurance officers, had not returned at a late hour last night. We learn by persons from Gravesend, and Ktaten-island, that two or three ships are ashore in the bay, and a brig and schoo- ner on the point of Sandy-Hook. A schooner, with cotton, supposed to be the Aurora from Wilmington, rode out the gale in Gravesend bay. The schooner Rising States, Burroughs from Charleston for New-York has arrived at Stonington. Cleared, ship Noma, Neilson, Barba- does ; .sloop Two Brothers, Dickey, New- port ; packet, Cougdon, New-Bedford. THE GALE, With its disasters—as far as has come to our knowledge. Ship Rhoda and Betsy, captain Terry, from Liverpool was cast away on.Tuesday the 31st instant, at xo A. M. in the easterly gale, and about 6 utiles to the west of San- dy-Hook. As soou as she struck, her main and mizzen masts were cut away. She is almost dry at low water ; the pumps will not "free her—the salt will all be lost. The Rhcda and Betsy sailed from Liver- pool the 16th February in co. wiih ships Centurion, Spaulding ; Nankin, and ano- ther ship, all for New-York. Ship Mary, Clark, from Matanzcs, was cast away about 5 miles to the southward of the Hook on Tuesday at 10 P. M. Cargo will be principally saved—she cut away her mizzen mast before she struck—she is now high and dry. Schooner Maid of the Mill, Grow, of and from Charleston, has sugar, cot;on and logwood, was driven ashore on the Hook on Tuesday evening in the easterly gale — her cargo will be saved, and the vessel pro- bably got 08V The sch'r Rainbow, Plumb, from St. Vincents for Wilmington with mm, ha- ving put into Newport, and arrived at Mil- ford on the morning of the 31st March, where she rode at anchor about 3 hours when her cables parted and the schr. was driven ashore and dashed to pieces. The captain and crew drifted ashore on the quar- ter deck, very much fatigued—a part of the cargo will be saved. The schr. Arthur, Miller, from N. York for Boston, with rum, was cast away on Tuesday on Eaton's Nsck, nsar Huntington.

Upwards of one hundred and fifty students have openly revolted a- gaiust the authority of the principal and teachers, in consequence of three of their fel'ow-s'ndents having been expelled. The whole number of Literary insurgents ha;e been dismissed from the walls of the college, until a beard of trustees, to be im- mediately Convened, shall give a decision on the subject- We sincerely regret that any thing should have occurred to tarnish the reputation, or interrupt the progress of so respectable and useful a seminary of learn- ing. [Relf.] Extract of a letter from our cerre~sponcUnt, doted Cape-May, March 31. " The ship Woodrup Sims, and brigs Na- nina and Sally, came on shore about 4, P. M. two or three leagues inside of the Cape. The crew of the Nanina were on shore, and the wind blowing a gale from W. no boat could get to their assistance. A ship and two other vessels went tp sea at the same time. Five schooners and an hermaphrodite brig lay at anchor inside of the Cape in a very dangerous situation. Unless the wind abates, they will certainly come on shore." Amidst the distressing accounts which we have received from our Bay, of the ef- fects of the late severe gale, it is a consola- tion to learn, that no lives have been lost. The Woodrop Sims, it is expected, will be got off, without difficulty or much d BX TJilS ,X>AYy 1. BOSTON, March 28. Arrived, ship Sally, Hewes, of Charles- ton, S. C. 24 days. March 29.

The brig Speculator, Lee, 19 days from Charleston, with rice, sugar, logwood, Sec. is still on the beach, at Gravesend bay.

April 3. It will be seen by our marine department that the effects of the late gale at the Hook was not so destructive as was apprehended ; for ail the outward vessels lying there wind- bound are safe, and it is hoped that those which went to sea on Monday had a suffi- cient offing to keep clear of the shore, Arrived, the schr.

The wind blew all day yesterday very fresh from W. & WNW. which was unfa- vorable for arrivals, and prevented vessels from sailing.—The Enterprize, capt.

Ino, horn the West-Indies for Providence, with rum and sugar, was cast away in the late gale, on the east side of Long Island. The cargo and a black man lost. A brig was also ashore near her.

The Washington Federalist of April 4, says, " Blannerhassett, who was some time ago arrested at Natchez, has been, ordered to Virginia tor trial." A Philadelphia paper states, that " One of the New-Castle packet boats was overset on Wednesday forenoon, opposite the ciiy, and although beats were immediately put off to their assistance, one man, a passen- ger, named J. A. Brimmer, (said to be front Boston, and bound to Baltimore) was drown- ed. Counterfeit HALF DOLLARS are now in circulation. They represent the emis- sion of 1806, and can easily be detected by a comparison with the genuine coin. [_PhH. paper.] Captain Wakefield arrived this morning from Amsterdam, has favored us with Am- sterdam papers to the 8th January, but mg all in the Dutch language, (which we do net understand) w>e can ;:;:-'; no transla- tions from them for this day's paper.

The fire at Detroit, the 1st ot June, 1805, consumed the houses 011-25 streets, lanes and alleys. Sixteen human beings were burnt ; and cows, horses and sheep, shared the same fate. The wretched inhabitants escaped with only the linen on their backs. A tribe of the Delaware Indians, who lived within 5 miles of Detroit, held a council the next day, and came to a resolution to relieve the sufferers, and on the 3d day af- ter the fire, sent 18 milch cows, 25 sheep, with turkeys, chickens, and other necessa- ries, to their relief. Major Campbell, the commandant of Fort Maldan, on the British side of the river, also contributed to their re- lief, and sent them five boat-loads of clothes, shoes, and other useful articles. The above interesting particulars were communicated by Mr. Samuel Andrew Shultz, lately arrived at Carlisle from De- troit, and who was there at the conflagra- tion. Illness of Bonaparte, The London Sunday Review of Jan. 23, says—" Trough an authentic channel, we have received advice that Bonaparte's health has been so much impaired by the fatigue and anxiety to which he has of late been exposed, as to impress his Medical attend- ants with the most serious apprehensions for his safety. He has for some time laboured under a dropsical complaint; and contrary to the ad- vice of his physicians, persists in a profuse use, of opium. He also drinks excessive quantities of coffee, without either sugar or cream ; a practice which is supposed to have contributed to that langour and debility which occasionly.oppress him in such a de- gree, as to render him incapable of anv or- dinary exertion. It is reported, that a French general has been detected in subordinate capacity in the Russian magazines. It is said that he had bribed several of tbe laborers ; that his object was to deteriorate the- gunpowder, and in making up the cartridges, not to put a sufficient quantity of powder into them, by which means, in the event of an engagement, the Russian army might be destroyed.— Other emissaries are also stated to have been discovered. [London paper.] The following paragraphs are extracted frrm London papers received by the Liverpool packet. \_N. Y.Gom. Adv. Still are we without any official advices from the continent. Yet accounts continue to be received from various parts of succe';?es of the Ruisians after the 26th of December. One letter from a house in Germany,^dated the 23d ult. states, " that the French lost nine generals in the battles immediately sub- sequent to that of the 26th of Decern bet j
