The erroneous intelligence refpeaing the Com bined Fleet, received from the PAlNetss Roves., one of the (hips belonging to Admiral Coarrwazzis's fleet, in a letter addreffed to Door GAarmsooat, which was publifhed tome days ago in this paper, and copied into all the London prints, is now accounted for, as our readers will fee by the fuhjoined letter.— It was a matter of no little furprife to many, that Admiral Comma sta., who, it appears, had orders to cruize to the weßivard to intercept the Combined Fleet, returned to his Radon before that bufinefs was ladled. It now appears that they bad been ;gonna h. an American vejil of the enemy having got into Co rinna! This is not the firft inftance of American veffels reporting falfehoods to our (hips of war. The evils which refult from this are now becoming fo test. ens, that Something effeaual Should be done to lain i the frequency of Inch falfe reports. The name of the veffel, and her lying Commander, ffiould in '_ every cafe be publifhed in the Gazette; and k might anfwer a good purpofe to pats a law, ;flea. pacitating filch sad and Commander, or either of them, from ever enjoying the privilege of trading to any Britiffi port. On all important occalions, our Commanders (if they have not) ought to have the i difcretionary power to take along with them, till the truth of the report be verified, thofe veffels from I which they receive accounts refpeaing any enemy's i Beet.—For our part, we thought the general charac ter of the American Captains for veracity was fo well ; known, that no fuch eircumllance as that recorded in 1 the fallowing letter could poffibly have occurred: ! i ..Prince(' Royal, off Breit, Anglia 1. i 0 The Malta l" juft in fight from Sir Reseal- Cato CR. You will by this time have beard of the adios between that flea and the combined fquadrons. From the State of the weather, Sir Ro -1 trr could only bring thirteen flips into adios:. We bad juft left the Bay of Bifcay one day, when the engagement took place. Had we gone a little to the weftward, and ftald a day or two longer, we thould moft certainly have fallen in with them, and I make no doubt but the whole would darn have been taken. We were mach milled by the report of au Muni= v ad. and believed the enemy bad got into Corama." - Another letter from the Channel fleet received yet ; terday, Slates, that the Spanifb (hips belonging to the Combined Fleet have put into Vigo, and that the French have proceeded for Cadiz. But, after re ceiving fch erroneous intelligence from the Channel fleet as that alluded to above, we are not inclined to give hally credit to this account. We Should not be furprifed to fi.id they have been again Shaking hands with tome :rah American. Should die Spann (!tips, however, have feparated and gone into Vigo, the cape . Bence of the IA century has proved that there they can by no means have placed thendelves out of the teach of attack. The Casette of halt night contains a few lines from Sir ROSIRT CALI:Ill, expreffive of his regret that the rame of Admiral STIRLING had been omitted .in his ' former letter. It is extraordinary that no official re turn has yet been made of the names of the Officers who fell, or were wounded in the anion of the sad ult. The fquadr an under the command of Sir Roarer Cizose in the late aaion, divided as Coln as it was afcertained that the enemy had neither entered Fes aid nor Corunna. Sir Rosser, with ten fail of the line, resumed his former Ration off Ferrol; while Admiral STIRLING, with the remaining four (hips, proceeded ko the blockade of Rochefort. We-under *and that Sir •Roasar has received leave of abfence, aped may. be expeded haute Shortly. , i . All the lctten from .Admiral Cannel's fleet, by 4i the Moms, arrived at P.ymouth on Thurfdity, agree !" in Rating, that the Combined Fleet, finding they 1 ' could notAitate Ferrol or Comma without rill( iug t another engagement. mutt have Rood forthe South- I ward, with a Vigil' to make Cadiz; or eeape into ;h e Mediterranean. In that cafe, it is hoped we than Soon racist a good account of them, as Lord Nat. son mudt have reached Cape St; Vincent, and j ained Admiral Cows OWOOD off Sada, before the enemy could get fo far to the Southward. i 1 It is our'duty, however, to Rate, contrary as AIR opinion may be ta that held by the Officers in Sir., 41.. CALI:MOO flat, that Itrong appielentions are en : tertaineds by people well qualified to form a Judi(- ' mot oar thls . ronirk. that this combined fleet have nut 1 SOW to the Southward, but dire'tly North, to get ' round Ireland and Scotland into The N•artb.Sea. At any rate we can alert. that there are flrong grounds tot believing that this was contemplated by the .ine.. l ay as a poffible or contingent part of the plantar Opich die:csitubiued fleet was fent out. By accounts which Isave'tkached ns this morning fro Terionist/4 we are infiri'doliftif egg 41 fioal there Of a Dutch veffel;.'eaptured oil/ Admiral Rossi , LL, Whielltait left Aisißeesisur in fraj(alt only, to efcape On'emb es rargexpeaed every hour to be laid , on the Veffels that port. When this veffel failc4 they wale duo *' . .--- - • -... -.,i . -e_2;_%;:_;;;Io., embarking a great number of Dutch and French troops, a large quantity of artillery, a conficlerable number of horfes, a great quantity of provifions, and warlike flares of every kind. The whole port was in great bottle to facilitate the embarkation, hecauft the Combined fleet, with which they were to cooperate, was every moment emptied to appear in Alit, and the whole em barkation *mold require at lea) two, if not three days to tf fa it. At Amflerdam there was no attempt at fecrecy as to the deflination of this armament, which was openly fpoken of as intended againft England. Admiral de Wittiest, whole flag was flying on board an So gun fhip when the 'call failed, was to have the com mand of the Dutch (hips along with AdmiralEy It se a. This fleet confills of fevelt fail of the line, four fri gates, and feveral fmaller reals, prnvilioned for fix months. The number of troops embarking were 25,000, including the cavalry and artillery. They are to be under the command of General•MAß mos r, who had not, however, arrived when the captured vefTel failed. We underhand that Government have received ac counts fimilar to the above, with the additional eir cumaances that MARIEOPIT was expeeled to reach Amaerdam as yeherday, to airtime the command of the troops ; that the expedition was to put to lea, if poifible, to-day or to morrow; and that another force was to fail from Helvoet under the command of the well known SEBASTIAN'. When the above circumflances are combined with the exertions known to have been making for fame time in other Dutch ports, and along the French coal, they may be confidered as arm% indications that the enemy means to make great exertions to attempt loon the long threatened invafion of this country. We have not lately been among thofe who have given much credit to this threat, but now we think it a duty to warn our countrymen to be on the alert, that they may not be taken by furprize. It is true that we have lately increafed our force in the North Sea, a proof of the vigilance of Government; but it is equally true that the Dutch expel/ the combined fleet to come and raife the blockade of their ports; and it is even not beyond the reach of poffibi lity, that by other unforefeen eireumflances the ene my may be enabled to quit their ports, and tnolefl our fhores. Our brave tars will do their duty ; let our volunteers, who fu gallantly flood lot ward when the Corfican Ufurper Rill held out the threat that he would ravage our fields, and Ivy our Cities in Ales, be now ready to repel the invader—We know they will when the danger is real. This morning intelligence was received at the Ad miralty from Admiral Sir T. Ltvimastos on the Boulogne Ration, Rating his having fallen in with the enemy's flotilla, and captured one of their loggers (No. 311) ; alfo a brig and three (loops. Difpatches were lag night fent off for Lord Net.- son off aufiz. Admiral CoLetwowooo is reported to have gone for the Mediterranean. The Moniteur of the 27th contains the following paragraph .- 4 , We have received news from England of the t6th. The Englith feem alloniihed that they have had n intelligence of out onnbineci fqutdrons. They will (till be a long time without receiving any, and when they receive it, it is probable that they will be very much furprifed." _ _ _ The French will perhaps pretend that the Cnrn. bined Squadron *as eager to attAck us. The Sp - ni•rds certainly did j? rike firfl. - 7 - - The Blictimaiix man of war, which bad been arr. pointed to convoy the EAR India fleet', now Orem bled at Falmonth,has been ordered to join the Chan ncl fleet immediately. The Indiamen have been di. sidled to put themfelves in the hell poßible (late of defence. This change in the dellination of the BEL cropsux is underfin id to proceed from the opinion that the Brea fleet is about to put to fea. No doubt now remains refpeeling the fate of the Antigua Fleet. The log book of one of the Spanith Ptizes, whictr have arrived at Plymouth, Rates the capture, and adds, that the frigate which was fent to convoy it to Martinique bad returned to theCombiortd Squadron, having burnt the whole of the prizes the appearance of two Di iting frigates, which (he puled to be part of Lord NELSON'S firtadron. It is reported that 200,0301. is awarded to the LIVELY, Capt. HASIOND, for the capture of the Spa &lb frigates.

On Thurfday, the Erin, Columbus, and Banetta, staved in the Bay of Dublin from Barbalies, after a palrage of fix weeks. It has been afcertained, that the American (hips have for a length of time been in the praAice of going to the Ifle of France, and the French ports in the Well Indies, to bring away produce, which they finally carried into French or Dutch ports. Their ulual cullom was to touch at an American port, in order to give the cargoes the appearance of being American property; but it i‘ very well known, that loch cargoes were never landed. In confequence of 'dick proceedings, an order, we underfland, was fent to all the out ports Gone days ago, inlituding our cruizers to detain all American veffels which have on board property not the produce of the United Skates. This order has been already aced upon, and fevetal (hips have been flopped.
