By there we are informed of the particulars of the lam affair off Toulon. As we fufpated, the date or the Ftench account was erroneous the circum fiances, however, partly bear them out in their Bate. mem, but in tad they diJ, not ventbre to wait for Lord siss.sorr, nor does it appear they were Much in clined to come to 'real :Rion with even the two Englifh (hips and one frigate which was retreating before them: " tISLALTAIL, WIZ le. 0 The GIBRALTAR, Captain Ryes., which arrived lately from the fleet off Toulon, fails for England the firft fair wind: (he calls at Cadiz to take in about a million of dollars. " The affair off Toulon, of which I lately wrote jou, ended in nothing. Two of our (hips of the line and a frigate, were followed for tome time by a force fo ttr.mg, that it would be imprudent in the Cam inander to court an engagement. He therefore re treated before them ; and he had tome hope. that *bile they followed him, the main body of our fleet might cut off the retreat of the enemy into port. The French Commander, however, who was too cautious to be drawn far away from the batteries, contented lhirnfelf with firing Tome diltant !hots at our tiernmoff Odra, and made into Toulon, before Lord Nwsou, Who heard the firing, and made all the fail poffible, could come up. If they venture to repeat this game, our Tars only with they may be fortunate enough to get between them and the more.

To the eaftward of the harbour's mouth (in which dilation the road is open) on our near approach it fell nearly calm, and the gun boats immediately pulled towards us, and commenced firing when we tacked, brit at fuels a diltance that the thot fell lhort. The Admiral fired in return. A moderate breeze by this time fprung up, and the frptadron in the harbour were (bon tinder NI after u', and in lets than an hour confiner; of five rail of the line and three heavy fri gates ; they appeared determined to make a grand punt after ns. The fr i ides and one of the line of battle (hips appeared to gain confiderably ; and the beadmolt o the former (which was the fame fellow that the chafed into Hieres Bay, during the winter) opened a dillant teazing tire on the Don s which was our fternmon Ihip. This was not to be borne long patiently by Sir IttcHARD SRACH•I;who watching his oppoitunity, lofted tip, ant gave a broadfide, which made the headmoll gentry'heave their fails aback quicker than ever I Caw them per form any manoeuvre.

" I was albore on one of them, and can fay but little in their favour. The inhabitants are a hardy ravage people ; the women, in general, liandfome, but al:n°(1 all of them go barefoot.

The Myrtle grows wild there like bronm or furze in our country, but much thicker, and affords excellent cover for game, which is plentiful. " After a flay of a week in this place we weighed anchor (leaving behind us a man and a boy who were faid to have been murdered by the natives) to refume the blockade of Toulon, which was likely to be a very tedious bulinefs, as Monlieur Teems unwil ling to encounter us : feven fail of the line attempted to come out a few days ago, but on the appearance of our fquadrnn, now confißing of ten fail and three frigates, they thought proper to retire, where I be lieve they will remain a conliderable time."
