Yesterday ten American prisoners who were confined at Forton, near Gosport, broke out and have not since been heard of.
Arrived his Majesty's ships Centaur and Egmont from a cruize; the latter a few days ago fell in with an American privateer, and engaged her, when two of the Egmont's guns burst, by which accident 18 men were killed and wounded.
