I Upon Friday, the 4th instant ? the fishing smacks Ttyall, Cap tain Harvie; Calcraft, Captain Reeves; and Admiral Nelson, Captain Ruffeli, all of London, being abreast of Peerhead, standing to the northward, for the fishing grounds off the coast of Orkney, perceived a sloop privateer about three miles dis tant, in chase of a large loaded brig, when the smacks immedi ately gave chase to the privateer, resolving to attack and ea;!ture her. After a three hours chase, during which the privateer threw overboard two guns, the smacks came up with her, and being prepared for action, they forced her to strike to them, after firing several guns; but the sea was running so very high, that they could not board her until the weather moderated, and during the night, notwithstanding that she often attempted to escape, the smacks kept by her until the day following, when the weather having moderated, the smacks boarded her. They found her to be a Danish privateer, called the Tack For Skit, of Bergen, commanded by Captain Andreas Orn, carrying six teen men, three guns, and a number of small arms. Having taken out the crew, the smacks succeeded to bringing her into Stromness harbour the day following. This capture was a for tunate es'ent, otherwi , c the loaded blig, and several otl-'r ves sels that were at the tima on the coast, might have been taken by the privateer. - • On Tuesday night his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence gave a Ball and Supper at Bear's Albion Hotel and Assembly room, Ramsgate, which. in fashion, splendour, and elegance, exceeded every thing of the kind ever witnessed in that part (if the kingdom.
