The East India Company's schooner St. Helena, Harrison, from St. Helena to London, was boarded on the 6th April in lat. 1 south, Ion. 9 west, by a piratical vessel under French colours, with a crew of about fifty men, who killed the cap- tain, twelve seamen, and Dr. Waddell, a passenger of the St. Helena ; and after plundering her of about 1200/. in specie, and a part of her cargo, cut away her masts and endeavoured to sink her by scuttling. The carpenter and five seamen who had concealed themselves, succeeded, however, in carrying her into Sierra Leone.
A boat of the Atlas, Indiaman, was lost in the Bores Tigris, on the 18th Jan.,- when Sir. Hawkins, the third officer, and seven seamen of that ship, and Mr. Slid- dlemas, the surgeon of the Mangles, unfortunately perished. Much anxiety is now expressed for the arrival of the Bridgwater, the date of whose departure from China was the 31st January, and not the 26th, as stated in our last.
