Copy of a letter from Sir John Borlace WARREN, Bart., received by Mr WARMINGTON, of Yarmouth, on Saturday last.

Winchelsea, off Scarborough.
22d July, 1782.
Dear Sir,
     I am sure it will give you pleasure when I inform you, that the Winchelsea has captured two French privateers, one a brig, and the other a lugger, within these three days. The first of them had not taken any thing, but the latter has done much mischief on this coast, having sunk five sail of vessels and sent two into Dunkirk; and I see by his log, that he has had an action with some colliers, in which one of his men was wounded. And he further informs me, that he was at the back of your sands in the same vessel that the Monkey cutter fired at, and about which the Mayor of Yarmouth sent me an express. -- On being interrogated, he first said he was born in Dunkirk, and afterwards that he was an American, his name in the commission is Frenchified, but seems not unlike FAULL; three parts of his crew are English and Irish, four of them now in irons, great villains. I have sent them on shore at this place, with a proper character, and I trust they will be properly examined. -- You will much oblige me by presenting my best compliments to Lord ORFORD, and communicating to his Lordship, that the Dutch fleet are gone North about, and left these seas.
     I remain, Sir,
     Your most obedient humble Servant,
     J. B. WARREN.
P.S. As all the crew of this vessel are English and Irish, if you know any body at Scarborough that is acquainted with BROWN, of Deal, or FAULL, I should think it would be worth your while to write to them on that head.

The sloop Annies, of Ely, in Fifeshire, James MORRISON, Master, form Hamburgh for Leith, with yarn and other goods, captured the 17th of July off St Abbes' Head, by Le Caprice privateer of Dunkirk, George FERNALD, commander, was retaken and brought into Yarmouth on Friday last, by the Rose pilot-boat, and seven men from Lowestoft. And on Monday were committed to Norwich Castle by John REYNOLDS, Esq., Mayor of Yarmouth, and Commissioner of Oyer and Terminer for the jurisdiction of the High Court of Admiralty of England, Pell GREENHOW, the prize-master, and Martin BROWN, another of the said privateer's crew, charged with treason and piracy, committed by them upon the High Seas by adhering to the King's enemies, (they being natural-born subjects of his Majesty) and taking and making prize divers of the ships, vessels, and merchandize [sic] of his Majesty's subjects, particularly of the said sloop Annies.

We hear that Government mean to give local names to the regular regiments now recruiting in England, and that the 9th regiment of foot will be called the Norfolk.
     An additional number of Royal Artillery from Woolwich are come to the works at Yarmouth. This party brought down with them two howitzers and nine waggons [sic] of stores; and, we hear, that a park and encampment will be formed of the whole on this station.
     Mr George LEGGE of Holt, is appointed to an Ensigncy in the West Norfolk regiment.
     Friday next the 11th regiment of dragoons, quartered in this city, will be reviewed by General PHILLIPSON, preparatory to their being encamped at Mutford.

We hear that No. 35038, drawn a prize of 5,000 pounds in the Irish State Lottery the 16th day of drawing, is the property of Mr J. H. COLE, one of the principal clerks in the banking-house of Roger KERRISON, Esq., in this city.

Sunday last was committed to the Castle, by J. KERRICH, Esq., Lucy TANN, of Ruishall, charged with the murder of her male infant, of which she was delivered on the 8th ult. It was found in a marl-pit, with a stone tied round its neck. The girl is about 17 years of age.

And on Monday was committed to the same gaol, James SMITH, a travelling tinker, charged with beating a woman who passed for his wife. On his examination it appeared that the supposed wife was his own daughter, and that she has had two children by him.

On Saturday last died at Swardeston, Mr Robert DYE, farmer, in the eighty-first year of his age, whose general good character through life plainly demonstrates that he was a man of humanity and strict integrity.

Yesterday se'nnight died, Mr YARINGTON, of this city, dyer. He was endued [sic] with a piously disposed mind, and with the most generous and tender feelings, which led him often to relieve the wants of the necessitous, and to commiserate and alleviate the afflictions of the distressed. This Christian-like disposition, added to his amiable conduct in the several relations of husband, parent, master, and friend, afford a well grounded assurance of his eternal felicity.

Education.

Messrs D'AUBIN and POINSOT Propose to undertake the Education of a few Gentlemen, at their House, in Upper-Surry-Street, Norwich.
     It is hardly possible in the narrow Compass of an Advertisement to insert at large the Method they intend to pursue, therefore they will content themselves to mention some Particulars, from which it will be easy to form a Judgment of it.
     The Number of Boarders shall be limited to Twelve; every one to have a Bed to himself, and be treated in every respect like the Family, or what is called Parlour Boarders. The greatest Attention shall be given to their Morals, and all the Care imaginable taken to give them that Politeness and genteel Address so necessary to a Gentleman, and so seldom attended to in Schools, or Academies, where they most commonly contract a Rudeness, which renders them unfit for good Company, and is the Cause of that Bashfulness and Awkwardness they shew [sic] in entering into the World.
     The Language of the Family shall be French, by which means they will be enabled to practise at any Time the grammatical Principles they have been taught in the School-time.
     The Terms are 30 pounds a Year, and Five Guineas Entrance; for which the young Pupils entrusted to their Care shall be entitled to Board and Lodging, likewise to the Learning of Latin, French, Geography, Writing, Book-keeping, Arithmetic, and Fencing.
     It is useless to mention that Dancing, Drawing, etc must be paid extraordinary by those Gentlemen who are willing to acquire these Accomplishments.
     Messrs. D'AUBIN and POINSOT will likewise attend the Ladies or Gentlemen who are willing to learn the French Language in a private Manner.

Page 3, column 4

To be Sold, and entered upon immediately, the commodious Dwelling- house and complete Dying-Office, late in the Occupation of Mr YARINGTON, Scarlet-dyer, deceased, situate near St Michael's of Coslany Bridge, in Norwich.
