They had been lying to three days in the latitude we found them, waiting to be joined by the fleet from Rochefort.

At fix the enemy's fleet, twenty-nine fail in number, lying to windward, repairing their damages • our two frigates, with the two prizes, to leereard Of the fleet.

" Our (hip's company behaved very well indeed ; they cheered almoft every brnadfide we fired and re ceived ; they, indeed, behaved far better than codld be expected, confidering their being fo little time to gether, and all of them young men. We have re connoitred Ferrol, as we expeaed them to go. there, but they were not there, and we have fent a (Lip to look into Rochefort.. We have received intelligence of a very rich convoy coming from the Weft Indies, under convoy of two French 84's; we .are now cruizing off Ca Ortega' to intercept them ; the Admiral has re alon to believe his information to be corral ; I sincerely with we may give a good account of them, as. they will in a great meafure make up for our unfuccefaul cruizes before. The fleet at Ferrol is fourteen fail of the line, ready for lea, and feveral more in a [late of forwardnefs; The men in the fleet are in high fpirits, and entertain very great hopcs cf having another bruth with them. The Admiral paid Captain GARDIi ea, of the Hero, a very handfome compliment yefteiday be thanked him, his officers, and (hip's company, for their gallant conduit in leading the fleet into battle; in the very great ftyle in which they engaged their opponent. 1 am forty to fay our lois has turned out much greater than I led you to expels in my former letter. " The Cyane (loop of war they captured in the Well Indies, with her convoy, and a Spann. gal leon (hip of 30 guns, they retook from the Diana, of 38 guns.

The greateft polEble proof that Government would not be difapp4nted in the expeetation they had formed of the tegiment, .was the prompt and cheerful manner with which they hid codas forward on the prefect occafloo.

They were much more numerous than have been witneffed of late, and appeared teady for fervice at an inftant's notice, having their haverfacks, canteens, &c. They marched into Hyde-Park, went through their va rious movements under the command of Majorjosa as, in the abfence of the Colonel, who is in the country. They were ordered to hold themfelves in readinefs to march on Thorfday, at the fame hour, when they will have the honour of being commanded by Major General the Earl of BANBURY, and infpeaed, there fore they mutt appear under marching orders. The whole regiment heard the orders with chearfulnefs, and received the thanks of the Major for their attend ante and attention. • , On Tburfday and Friday two slivificius of the tee*. man Legion marched throtO Oxford, on their route from Weymouth to Northampton. Their Military appearance attracted general admiration. Yefterday forenoon • the right wing of the North Aylesford Legion, under the command of the Earl Of DARNLEY, was infoeeted by Lieutenant Colonel TWYsDEN, in the Windmill Field, Frindtbury.— The right wing is compofed of the Rochefter and Chatham Volunteers, under the command of Lieut. Colonel Tworear ; the Strood Volunteers, under Captain BARROW, and the Cobham, Capt. BENTLEY. The feveral corps muttered uncommonly well. Lord DARNLEY infpeaed every man, arms and accoutre ments very minutely, and was pleated to exprefs the higheft approbation at their excellent order, and of the general appearance of the refpeaive companies. His Lordfhip addreffed the Legion in a fpirited ap propriate fpeech ; he appeared to be animated with a fpirit truly Britifh ; his obfervations were pithy, nervous, arid calculated to infpire feeling, fuch as Englifhmcn, we hope, will ever cherifis and glory in. Before the companies were difiniffed, they were informed by his Len dfhip, that he was in expeaation of being vifited by the Duke of YORK in the courfe of next week, when the whole of the North Ayles ford Legion would mufter in Cobham Park, to be infpeeed by his Royal Higbnefs. Monday fe'nnight arrived at Aberdeen, the Right Honourable Lord Vifcount Biome, Colonel of the Eaft Suffolk Militia, which arrived there in three di vifions in the courfe of the preceding week. They are the firft regiment of Englith militia that ever we-e quartered in Scotland. Lady Louisa Beata accom panied his Lordlhip.

BIRMINGHAM, AI/G. 15. —We jolt learn that the third battalion of the Loyal Birmingham Volunteers, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel WILKES, is to march on Tuefday next for Warwick, where they are to remain on permanent duty for twenty-one days.— The Loyal Dudley Volunteers were yelterday infpec ted, agreeably to the late orders, in marching order. The orders for the infpeaion were only given late on Tuefday evening, and the corps, which now confitis of 360, were on parade yefterday morning, appointed with great coat.,, knapfacks, &c. and conveyed to and from the place of infpeetion, in the waggons allotted for the conveyance of the corps. Only twenty were abfent, and thole had obtained leave before the no tice was received, and were at too great a diflanee to be informed of it ; but there is no rearm, to doubt, had an alarm taken place, that every individual of the corps would have appeared is the fame good or der, to march againit the invaders of their country, as they did for InfpeCtion. The InfpeEting Officer expreffed his approbation in high terms, both in re . gard to the appearance of the corps, and alto for the very full attendance. The Lichfield Volunteers are ~ ~ A M to be mattered in their waggon:, by Brigadier Gene ral Woon, this evening.

Too, JOHNSTONE, and METH MI, have prefented to Serjeant-Major DAVID Cooa, one day's pay, for the purpofe of purchafing a fabre. This was Rival as a mark of the efteem which they feel for him, on ac count of his a ffi duous and unremitting attention to their improvement in military dikipline, on all Deco fions ; but more particularly while on- permanent duty, laft year; at Dndhope Barracks, Dundee, and mote recently while at Perth. By an alarm from the Beacons in theWapentak of Staincrofs, the Staincrofs Volunteers, both Infantry' and Cavalry, were affembled, and the cavalry afro- ally marched tb Pontefraft, their appointed repdez-• Tout, on Thurfday morning !aft, with their ammo.. nition waggons, &e. ; the infantry were detained oft their march to PontefraCt, at Hemfworth, tilVmore: particular information could he had from taco* Frank, Efq.

We notice this as one more proof of the alanAy and attention which this valuable body of men the Vo lunteers) ever thew to the defence of their t The firing of the Beacons was owing to the heroine of draw in a Rape dole at Briton, which bring in a line betwixt two of the Beacons, occeficoaed it to be miflook by one of them for the other: Sheffield, and other towns in the Weft Riding, in confequence of the above alarm, were thrown into much confufion ; every where the Greets were throng ed with inquiring multitudes, and the drums of the Volunteers beating to arms, as it was reported that the Beacons on the North coax had been on Ere all the night of Wednefday. CAUTION TO VOLUNTRIRS:—WAI.

On Tuefday the 3th init. the remains of the Counters of Ascaam were interred tat the family vault, at Newbattle Abbey, near Edinburgh.

So numerous and fo Rriking have been the exam ples of the efficacy of the Cow Pox, in giving protec tion to thofe who were expofed to the Small Pox, fince that direafe in the early part of the fummer • again broke out in the Metropolis, that prejudice is at length giving way to the force of truth ; and fo many perfons ate now vaccinated at the Central Hbufe, and different Rations of the Royal Jennerian Society, and at the Vaccine Pox Inflitution, that the violence of the Small Pox is rapidly abating ; Among the valt number of conclufive inftances alluded to, is a re markable one in the family of Mr. Tabart, at the Ju venile Library, in Bond-ftreet, who mentions with ex ultation and gratitude, the extraordinary cfcape of . fome children who were, by accident, fully expofed to tke virulent infeaion of Small Pox ; but having been immediately inoculated with Cow Pox matter, were completely fecured from the effeas of the vatic). loos poifon. At Barlow, near Selby, two men of the names of Wilkinfon and Crofsley, employed in Racking hay, were Bruck dead by lightning about a fortnight ago. The former was upon the Rack, to which the light ning alfo fet fire. On Thurfday, between ten and eleven in the fore* ' noon, a heavy black cloud, (weeping in a direftion from Weft to South-eaft, prefently affirmed from the Southern verge, the form of an immenfe (pout or tube, and, apparently between Gorlefton and Low eftoff, frequently affumed a fpiral form, and again darted towards the earth, till it reached the tea, where an immenfe quantity of water was clifeharged from it with the regularity of a fire.engine. It palled feveral veffels in Yarmouth Roads, and fortunately without doing them any apparent injuiy. It did not teem quite eihaufled for nearly 2o minutes. The heavieft rain, remembered by the old ft per .fon living, fell on Wednefday fe'nnight, in the after. noon, at Threlkeld, Cumberland, and within a circle of two miles. It was with the greateft difficulty a poR chaife could proceed through that village, from the quantity of water on the turnpike road, which was in a manner deluged by the torrents that poured down the fides of the mountains, and by fudden overflow. ing of the Glenderamakin, which is generally. a finall Bream. The furniture, in tome of the hooks, near the bridge, were wafhed out. At the fame time, it was perfealy fair at Kefwick, only a dictance of four miles ; and the inhabitants of that town were unable to account for the fudden floodin the Greta, which in the (pace of ten minut es , r ot e upwar d s of three feet above its former height. We do not hear that any particular damage was done, as the rain, fortu nately, did not continue longer than half an hour. Yefterday morning at four o'clock, George Webb, and Richard Ruffel, were conveyed from Maidfiono goal to be executed at Shooter's Hill, imrfy;ant to Sentence.
