A variety of contradictory accounts, relative to the French East India advice boat (who had an English pass) taken by the Dolphin man of war, have been given in the public papers, with some seeming foundation for each of them: It may not therefore be improper to assure the public, that a case of dispatches which she has on board, has certainly never been opened; the contents of which, it may be depended on, have never been divulged, but are of such a nature, as to occasion the detention of the French ship until an account came of the sailing of the Liverpool man of war, for the East-Indies, who departed from Plymouth the 21st inst.
