It is pretty generally thought that the French force which chafed the Mc Lam us and Was► floop of war, as announced in the Admiralty notice fent yefterday to Lloyd's, was the fame that was previoufly feen ccming nut of Vigo ; and it is very probable that it has before this time reached Rochefort, the place for which they were thought to be fleeting. Pas will, however, be taken by the Admiralty to afcertain this faa, as it is of much importance •to our mercantile purfuits. Ws have - received letters from Gibraltar, which, though not of a very recent date, bring fume intereft ing particulars which our Readers will find under the proper head. The Auckland packet, from Lifbon, has arrived at Falmouth, after a paffage of eight days. She has brought no mail, but was ordered to fea at tut hours notice, with difpatches for Government. Thefe difparches announce that his Majelty's brig A tciom, of 16 guns, arrived at Lifbon on the ard ult. from Gibraltar, with mails. She had alto taken under convoy three merchant velrtls from Gibral• tar. On the (Bth ult. Cape St. Vincent's in fight, they fell in with the Combined Fleet, which captured the three merchantmen, which they burnt, and the Atcson only efcaped by making ufe of her (weeps. The As.cion Rates the force of the Combined Fleet at twenty4ix fail of the line, fevcral frigates, brigs, &c. and that their ultimate deaination ism& proba bly the Mediterranean. On the TO uh. the Nom: frigate, with her , prize la Didon, paired by Lifbnn for Gibraltar. This intelligence removes entirely the fears that were en tertained for the faiety of this veal. The French frigate la Topaze had arrived at Lifbnn before the Auckland packet failed. The Topaze had Capt. Moons, and part of the crew of the BLAIICHI, on board. She was put under qua. rant inc. The Wallingham packet was going into Lithon as the Auckland came our. We are happy in being able to announce that the 'Prince of Wales packet, captured on the 13th ult. by the Prince of Pear:: Spanifh privateer, belonging to Vigo, was re-captured two days afterwards by his Majefly's (loop la Poutr-rrs, of ift guns, Captain DUNBAR, and has arrived fafe at Falmouth.

A very circumflantial account of the captarlt . Jamaica by the combined fqoadrons, estrailed from an American paper, has been received from Spaits'! i'l Sir Ricuein Bscitievos arrived, yellerday, with four !hips of the line, his own flag fhip, the Qllase, included, Sir RICHARD, being under the neceEty of leavirg his Ration off Carthagena, for want of water, went to Oran ; but, unable to get any there, in confequence of the &babed aim of the country, was compelled to come here. The Carthagena &ma-. drop, eight fail strong, who never stirred from their harbour, fo long as Sir RicHaan conitinued in the neighbourhood, came out, as Poop as be had with, drawn. ~. This morning, at five o'clock, a divilion of (even. teen Spanifh gun boats formed in a line at Tome dif• tance from the garrifpn, threw two (hells and a few fhot among our !hipping, which did no injury, and then retired. AWITHEZ LITTER. SIMI !Krt. Yellerday Sir RICKARD BICKERTON ar►ived here from off Carthagena, with the Qireett, TORRENT, Mt Novena, and BELL/10,110N, to take in water and provifions. Sir Riot ARD had been to . Coran to obtain fupplies, but found that place befteged by the Arabs, which prevented his receiving either water or provilions there. Lail night the Action arrived with the accounts of the Carthagena fquadron having put to lea, on our four line of battle !hips quitting the blockade of that port. They conlified of three Orli rates, one So gun (hip, and four 74's. Four of them bore down to attack the 13140r.e, and the other four to attack the ALcron, which had been left off the port to watch their motions. This morning, at day light, on a thick fog clearing up, 17 of the enemy's gunand mortar boats wtoftdif. covered within gun-16ot of the New Mole, who began firing red hot (hot and (hells on the men of war lying off there, but retired in a few minutes fecmingly in tome confufion, though not a gun was 641 upon them, either from the garrifon or fquadron. One (hot and the fplinter of a 'hell came on (bore, but not the finalleft mifchief was done, either to the gar/ ifon a t (hipping, though a then burft immediately over the Hydra. This extraordinary attack, and fudden retreat of the gun.boats has given rife to a •ariety of conjedures. AUGUST 2. It now appears certain, from every account from Algefiras, that the attack of the gunboats on the morning of the a7th ult. was conduted by the Spa nith Admiral Pon Baum° na Eats* in perfon, in full hopes of being able to burn Sir R,CNARD Theo orroti's fquadron, by means of red hot (hot t but in loading with red hot (hot the fecond time, an officer and two men were blown to pieces on board of the gun-boats, which (truck fuch a panic into theft whole line, that no perfuafions of their officers could induce them to try any further loading with hot ant, which was the cattle of their precipitate retreat. The fame accounts add, that fince their return to Algefiras, four men more have loft their lives in pradifing the firing with rod hot (hot, which has In damped the fpitits of the crews of the gun boain that it is very doubtful whether they will ever attempt that mode of attack again. Sir F.ICH•111 DicesaTosi failed this morning with his foipadron, in purfuit of the Carthagena fleet. We had a very brilliant and crowded horfe race yefferday, upon the Sands, en the Neutral Grotmci, which was attended by moll of the Offices; of Abe Garrifon, and by General Cava-anon the Spanifh General; and all his ruite; and a number of spaniards, ?rho leaned much delighted at the novelty of a race in the real Newmarket fiyle—all !he gn g l i ips Pincers riding in different coloured Patin jackets, and jockfy . • Fap.

Ireflerday Mr. HALE, belonging to the Lord Chamberlain's Office, gave notice that the hour of the funeral prose ion of the Duke of GIMUCISTIIt beginning to move from Gloucefler Houfe, was al. tered from ft; o'clock this morning to ten. This is the feennd time it has been altered : it was originally fixed at three o'clock in the morning. At an early hour yellerday morning, a great nom: ber of people affembled in front of Glonceiter Houk to fee the remains of his Royal Highnefs lying in date. At two precifely the gates were thrown open, and feveral went in to take a view of the date. In the centre of the yard the Standard of the arft Re giment of Guar& was ereCled, furtnonpted with a piece of -black crape. The company, on entering the hall, turned to the left, paling through three rooms, the curtains of which were let down ; and the chandeliers and girandoles lighted up. The ap.. pearance was then extremely folemn, and everything was condustted with the greateft filenee. At the end of this room, pair of Larg e folding-doors opened into the funeral chamber of - Rate whist; prefented all that melancholy magnificence,whialicharaderiaes the honours we pay to the illutirious dead. The body was placed upon a bier, with three el:polies at each fide and two at the head. A part of the outer eoffin was to be feen, (hewing the manner in which the coffin was covered, and ornamented with (liver plat e s, highly gilt, having the initials of his Royal Highnefs's title, and a Ducal Coronet engraved upon each.— The pall was black velvet, lined with white fadn, and his Royal Highnefs's efcutcheons affixed to different parts of it. Upon the top of the coffin, about the thoulder of it, was placed a erimfon pnfhion, ' with the coronet, appropriately decorated, telling on it. There were three wax tapers, each about the flee of a flambeau: (landing un either fide of '1 the coffin, in candleiiicks upwards of three feet high. betides a Tall number of other lights, with brilliant refleetors to each branch of the (mailer lights: The room in which the body lay in date was the only one that was hung with black, and there were nn efcutcheons fixed up in any of the rooms, as there was not fuffieient time for the& preparations, on ac ' count of the different orders and counter-orders about the place of lying in Rate and mode of interment.— ACaptain'uGuard from the sd Brigade of the t ft Re giment of Go:4rd', did the dutyat the gates at ird, but at three o'clock the crowd became Co immecfe, and the preffore was fo great, that it was found neceff4ry W fend for a party of the Hark Guards. The miii tart' were indruded to do their duty with the uttrbott temper and moderation, and they &Wily fulfilled their orders, but notwithilanding this, a number of acci -1 dents happened, bolt we did not bear that there were any of a very fetious nature. There was no °Nation to the admiffion of any perfon, and confequently an immenfe number of all ranks and deferiptims were admitted in the courfe of the day, both in and out of mourning. The public curiofity was fo great, that it was impoffible for the foldiers to !land at the gates wi. hoot bolting thefts, unlefs they had recourfe to via- Jena, and this eccatipned co much delay, that many (hoof:mai went away difappointed. At• nine o'clock this morning the fecond brigade of the Pia Regimeht of Guards were under arms, at Glouceder Houfe, and in the neighbouring ttreets, to keep order. The Duke of Gloucefter's Loyal Volunteers,' Colonel Lord Cu arwyND, muttered at (even in the morning. in eonfequence of an order received at three o'clock yetterday afterotpon from General PHIPPS. They marched with fide-arms only, to pay the lag tribute of refpeit to their fixsyal Patron. The crowd was ext•emely great. They btgan to alembic at an early hour, in confequence of the or ders being yellerday for the procedion to begin to move at (ix o'cloXk. Grofvenor-fireet, Hyde Park, Park-lane, and all the neighbouring fireFts, were thronged. • The greated order was kept by the toot. foldiers, were very properly arranged on each fide of the meets, without the Aflame of the hook. Numbers of the police officers attended, to prevent depredation, upon the public by the pickpockets. • The principal colours of the WI regithent of Foo t Guards were fixed to•a pole in the centre of the Court Yard before Glnuceltet Houfe, with a large piece of . . crape upon them. • About eleven o'clock 44 was 4rmouneed by the Un • dertater that every thing was teaJy for the procefro. to begin to move, when eight grenadiers were mar, lied into the hnufe, and in a thou tune after they cAnic out with the corpfe. On their appearante at the door, the whole of th• tpilitary prelented arms, the enligns dropped their colours, and the drums and fifes began playing the meth Pfalm in a very flow and (Montt manner._ The drums were muffled with black cloth, and the fifes were hung with black crape. The coffin had no pall upon it, and was put ipto a common hea t , without any tftsucheons, The mourners then went into the menrningcoach e e, confiding of the Rev. Dr. FeeckuNeasne, Rev.
