Our letters from Plymouth (late, that they left the French Brea fleet in that harbour. Should this prove correct, it will follow that the fquadron of eleven !hips, of which we made mention on Monday ind yeaerday, is from Rochefort and L'Orient, as has already been fuppofcd.—But there are letters in town which (late, that on the t ith the Brea fleet, confift ing of 28 fail, fucceeded in efcaping our blockading fleet, and aitually put to fea; that they parted into two divifions loon after, one of which, it is fuppofed, has proceeded for the Welt Indies. A (hip from Gi braltar, arrived at the Mother Bank, alfo Rates, that the French fleet to the number of zo fail are at fea, and limilar information has been communicated by the Captain of a tranfport. Thefe accounts are fo contradiaory that we cannot reconcile them. It does not however appear very probable that the &ea Fleet can be out. Admira' CostawaLt.ts, in that cafe, would hardly have brought any of his (hips into port—he would have gone in quell of the enemy. We are rather inclined to this* that the Brea Fleet is 11111 in poo, and that thofe at fea are fromiltochefort and L'Orient, as we timed before. A report is circulated in the City, that feveral fail of tranfports, with troops from Gibraltar, were car, wed by the French fleet, who, after keeping poffef lion of them feveral days, Coffered them to proceed, the French not wilhing to be encumbered with troops. But no date or place is mentioned, and the report in itfelf is not very probable. Orders have been Wised for a flrong force to fail in purfuit of the fquadron which captured the Ocean tranfport. Yeaertlay Princefs AUGUSTA, Scpus* and Asst. era. accompanied by General Fri zany and Colonel Taveoa on horfeback, and Lady SYDNEY in a chaite took an airing in Windfor Park.

The attack upon H•IIGIAYE, the MUT, of Co vent-Garden Theatre, on Monday evening, was one of the mod brutal that ever difgraced a Britith au• dience. Mr. Haßciava is fortunately an actor from choke, not neteffity : he is, moreover, a Gentleman by birth and education, and a man of great modeßy. A very reprehenfible hoax, as it is termed, was played off lad week on the Mayor of Oxford. A packet, bearing the official feal of the Treafury, an nounced to him the entire defeat of the French army, and the death of Bo AAAAA ra. The intelligence com municated in the packer was not figned with any name : the Mayor, confidering the feal to be of fuf ficiet authority to 'warrant the truth of the Rory, caufed the bells of the town. to be let ringing, and preparations were about to be made for more folid demonftrations of joy, when it was difcovered that the feal had been curionfly cut from Come other enve lope, and carefully patted on that, for the purpofe of impofing on the credulity of the Magistrate. On Friday laft the Mager and Wardens of the Drapers' Company vifited the different gaols of the metropolis, and with a film not exceeding one hun dred and twenty pounds, . liberated above forty psi fillers, who were confined for (mall debts.
