JOSEPH WHIDBEY, LATE CHIEF MATE OF INC WEST INDIAN, CAPTAIN DUNN TO HIS FRIEND IN LIFIRPOOL,DATEDOPORTO, 11TH AUGUST, 1805. 11 is with much concern I inform you of cur being captured by the combined fleets on the Bth June lafl, they being twenty fail of the line, (even fri gates, and two brigs, the day after we left Antigua, under convoy of the Nsmax fchooner, who efcaped the enemy by fuperior failing. The French finding the prizes could not beat up to Guadeloupe, and fearful of NELSON overtaking them, they next morn ing difpatched five frigates (having troops on board) to dentoy them and afterwards to land the troops at Guadeloupe, which they effeacd, putting my Cap tain and others on Shore with them. It was a dif. treding fight to us to fee our fhips and cargoes burnt and funk, when two Englifh frigates were bearing down on them, but too late, the five French frigates returning at the time, to join the fleet. We were !hipped of every thing but the cloaths we had on.. ‘, On zzd July to the fouthward of Vigo, we fell in with the Britilh fleet, confining of 13 fail of the line and one frigate; we were crammed below at fie in the afternoon, when the Britifh tars gave us three cheers, which was returned by the cowardly French men, and a heavy cannonade commenced on both I fides. I was un board the Bucentaur, the French Admiral's Ship, of 90 guns • She, with one of 8o guns, engaged the Englifh Admiral's Ship, which unluckily gut dilmaned. A brave 74 going to en. gage the thip in our line a head of us, flamed along fide and poured fuch a broadfide into us that occa fioned not a few to be brought to the doftor (where I was), without arms or legs, and caufed numbers to fall on the decks, headlefs, and no doubt our poor fellows fuffered greatly alfo. Two Spanilli 74's got difmalted and were taken ; the French fuffered much in their rigging and people. Ac half pall nine at night, being very thick weather, the firing ceafed, and the Englifh fleet the next morning lay to leeward of the French line, but the flipper the Frenchmen got that night, made them afraid of getting a find far breakfaft, rind indeed I myfelf was fearful of a renewal of the engagement, the Englifh not being a match for fuch a fuperior force. The French bra• vadoed to me, and Paid they would bear down and board the Englifh ; I told them to go, they were ready to receive them, although the three-decker of the Engliflt was difmafted, but thick weather coming on, the French made the belt of their way to Vigo Bay, where we arrived three days after, and landed the priforrers, which were marched into the Porto- Vele dominions, where I now am, fufEciently dif trelied." 1 • . mAilare.

RAMSGATE, SEPT. S. Yefierday about two o'clock a moll tremendous form of rain fell here. A fine Boy, about 5 years old, in running to avoid the heavy rain, in his fright ran over the Pier into the fea. A Mr. Drirom, who chanced to be at the fpot called out to a Pruffian fai lor, lying within the pier, who intlantly jumped into the fea,• which was then nearly low water, and brought the Boy on chore. Mr. D. having conveyed, him to a neighbouring houfe, and procured immedi. ate affiflance, the child, in about 15 minutes, after ufing the means recommended by the Humane So. ciety, was reftored to his difconfolate Parents. The. father of the child is a labourer on the pier. MARGATS, SEPT. 6. From fix till nine o'clock this morning we had a molt dreidftal ftorm of rain, thunder and lightning. Had it continued much longer, the whole of the old town would have been inundated ; for the furni ture floated in the ground apartments cf many houfe, from the torrents which fell. Although the crath of the thunder, and the war of elements, feemed to me nace the town with immediate deftruEtion yet nd harm was done, or lots fultained, but that of a don key, which Rood under a cart-chain in the yard of one of our farmers.—We had an arrival IA night of about go perfons from town, by one of our packets.

On the fame evening the CAN. cart, one of Sir SIDNEY Starnes newly invented vet fels, which you have already dercibect, came to about a mile off the Pier head, attended by a cutter. As foon as her arrival was known, the hope indulged that The would put in with the Hero of Acre • but expedation was fadly difappointed, for th e gallant Knight was not on boat d, and the veffel loon fet fail for the Nore. During the Ihort time the lay to, all the Margate boats were employed in carrying crowds to view and admire the fingularity of her confiration, though the fea was rough, and the weather exceed. ingly tempeltuous. The gale continued uillr great violence till four o'clock yeiterday, when a torten: of rain fell, and moderated its fury. The thunder form of the preceding day has done great injury in many places, particularly at the village of Barham, where barns and corn were fet on fire. Some villains, who grudged the parfon his due, were tempted by thi devil, a few nights ago, to carry off from a field in this neighbourhood, a hundred fhocks of tythe wheat; in conlequence of which, a liberal reward has been offered for the difcovery of the mifcreants who com mitted this fingular robbers-. It is confidently reported that a confiderable body of troops will be fhortly embarked at Rainfgate, to co-operate with out allies on the Continent, and that the Sea Fencibles have been ordered to hold them felves in readinefs for the occalion. Two Packets came in yelterday morning, and brought one hundred and thii ty pittiengers, tate of whom, in aUempting to ttep•trorn his own on hoard a veffel clofe in with the Pier, fell between them, but was immediately taken up unhurt. Salty. 9.—The pleafure boat of Mr. Crrodbew, of Deptford, which was ofF Boulogne, on Tuefday, lies now in the Pier. The Captain Rates that he failed within lets than a mile of the French coaft, without receiving any interruption whatever from the enemy. According to his obfervation, there feems no realin to be certain that the French troops have quitted their camp, as has been fo confidentally Rated upon the authority of other oblervers.—All the tents are Banding, and there is no remarkable variation from the appearances ufually exhibited (ince the troops were encamped on the coati. Very few foldiers were obfervable, but the Captain lays the cafe has been the fame at many periods fi:ice the commencement of the war, when the camps'were known to be full of troops. He has been very frequently off the enemy's coaft in the courfe of this war, and he is therefore en. abled to form an opinion entitled to attention, with regard to the current rumour. He confirms the Ratement that the flotilla has gone within the pier, both at Boulogne and Ambletettle.
