Several fmall ffi;ps and vefftls which were Entice orders for failing from Plymouth have, however, been detained, and will be ready to proceed on any (entice for which they May be wanted. We this day lay before our readers the official ac- Count of the glorious anion that was maintained by the China fleet ;gain( the French ftfoadron command. ed by Admiral Limon. Every perfon who feels inte relied in the naval fuperiority cf Greav, Britain, muff read this fplendid inflance of it with pride and fatif. {anion., It is as honourable a demonfitetion of gal lantry and judgment as any that occurs io the brilliant records of our naval atchievettents. That a fmall nun ber of heavy laden merchantmen, carrying a cam. partitively light artillery; mould defeat and compel to flight a force confifting of one fltip of the line, two heavy frigates, a corvette, and a brig, would fancily have been deemed poffible by any one, who was ignorant of what has been compared by Britilb at tain% The good conduit and refolsition that were elifplayed in every pan of this tranfation deferve die highs.' petite. None of our great Naval Com madders could have made a more judicious difpofi. don, either for defence or attack, than that in which Captain Dauer, who ailed as Commodore, drew up the fhips that were under his orders. The brunt et the anion was borne by the Royal George, and the fpirit with which the gave . battle to the French Admiral's fhip, rent& the highell honour on her. gallast Commander, Capt. Tim raps. Fortunately the Inf. on board his thip was infignifleant, and far inferior to what might have been expetted from the formidable (nice which he gallantly encountered.— The sefult f this affair is no lefs honourable to Eli tiOt val o ur, than it is difgraceful to the profeflional charadter of boors.

Court, I beg leave to acquaint you that the Camden was dif patched from Canton by the &lea Committee, the 3111 of January laft, and the (hips noted in the mar-1 gin • were put under my orders as Senior Comman der ; elf° the Rolla Botany Bay flip, and the country flips as per margint, were put under my charge to convoy as far as our courfes lay in the fame direc tion. I was API ordered to lake under my protetftion a Portuguefe Europe flip that was lying in Macao Road., whole fupra-cargo had folicited it from the Seleft Committee. Our pafsge down the river Wall tedious, and the fleet much difperfed ; the (hips being under the directiens of their f I Chioefe pilots, I could not lap them eolleted as I wilted. We paired Macao Roads on the night of the sth of Feb. and I conceive the Rolla had anchored fo near Macao as not to fee the fleet get under weigh and pals through; although 'at the time I had no idea that it could bertffible.efpecially as I faw the Ocean, in-athore of uea getting under weigh, burning blue lights and bring a•gun. The Portnguefe (hip, I fuppofe, have been in the fame &nation Is the Rolla. ' , D . orirlse night of the ph of February I carried is.eaft ail, and on the following day hove to for shave taro hours, hoping to fee thole (hips, but there . eves no appearance of them, nor did they ever join the fleet. • On the t4th of February, at day brads, we raw Pulp Auro bearing W.

I made the fignal far the Alfred, Royal George, Bombay Cadik. and Hope, to go down and examine, and Lientenant Forecia,.of the Royal Navy, late Commander of the Pommies, and paffenger with me, having landfosiclyoffered to go la the Gartgekt brig. and japed them wady. I air wards fent her down likewile, and from 'their figs.'s, I perceived it was an enemy's fqnadron. confiaing a line-of-battle flip, three frigates. and a brig. • At t P. M. I recalled the look ont (hips by fignal, and formed the line of battle in dote order. As loon . ai the enemy could fetch in our wake. they put about; we kept on our courfe under an eafy (iii; at near fun-fet they were chile up with our rear. and I was in momentary expedation of an attack there, and prepared to 'fiipport them ; but at the chic of day we perceived them haul to windward; I fent Lieu tenant FOWLEL, in the Ganges brig, to fiction the country (hip; on our lee-bow. by which means we were between them and the enemy ; and having done fo, he returned with Come volunteers from the cout'• try We lay-to in line of battle all night. our men at, their quarters ; at day-break. of the agth, we few the enemy about three miles to windward. laying tn. We hoificd our colours, offering him battle if he chofe to come down. The enemy's four thlps bolded french colours, the lincmf-battle !hip cant' ing a Rear Admiral's flag ; the brig.was under Ba tavian colours. At 9 A. M. finding they would not come, down, we formed the order of failing, and (leered tier courfe under an eafy fail; the enemy then fillet their fails, and edged towards us. At a P. M. finding they propnfed to attack and endeavour to cut off our rear. I made the Oral t• tack and bear down upon him, and engage io fuccst li the Royal George being the leading. flip, the Ganges next, and then the Earl Camden : this ma• mew/re . was correaly performed, ■nd we flood en wards him under a prcls of fail: the enemy then formed in a very dole line. and opened their fire on the hcadmoit (hips. which was not returned by to tilt we approached him nearer. The Royal George bore the brunt of the aftion. and got as near the enemy as he would permit him; the Ganges and Earl CAM. den opened their fire as loon as their gun. could have effelt ; but before any other (hips could get into ac tion, the enemy hauled their wind, and flood away t the eaftward under all the fail they could let. At s P. M. I psi& the fignel for a general chafe, and we nue fuedthens till 4 P.
