On this fubjesti we have have alto received the fol lowing letter this morning : PLYMOUTH, AUG. 27.—Came in the DISPATCH, of i 8 guns, from the Channel Fleet: file brings an account of the capture of the French frigate Didon, of 4f guns, and 300 men, by the Norms, of 36 guns, Capt. Baste. The Didon had 123 men killed and wounded, and the PHOIVIX 53 killed, and as wound ed, among the former, the two Lieutenants ; the Di don being very much difabled, it is conjedlured that Ilse may have been taken to Litbon to refit, previous to her being brought to this country." The Nowt: is but a (mall frigate, of 36 guns, and the Didon one of the final the French had in their fervice.—Great praife is due to Capt. Basis, and the Officers and Crew of the PROMS, for the fpirited and gallant manner in which they began and continued the anion, and finally captured a vetret fuperior in weight of metal and in number of men. The Dijon was totally difmafled in the She tailed from I'Orient to Martinique in twenty fix days, with the intelligence of Lord Natsom hay ing paired the Streights. After her return the was difpatched from Ferrol, op the day the Combined Fleets arrived there, in fearch of intelligence refpettl• ing the movements of our fleets. The (hips teen by the Deepen., on the 14th, are believed to have been the Combined Fleets ; and it is reported in the City that they returned into Ferrol on the ,6th, off which port Sir 4. CALMi arrived on the aoth, and continued there on the sad, at which time they had not made any new attempt to put to (ea. The place where the Combined Fleet was teen by the Deanna does not contradict the rumour of its having got into port two days after ; but nothing is certainly known refpeaing it. 11. e a,!tion on Wecisefday lan, in Camaret; Bay, was highly creditably to the Britifh tars, as they were v. ry Sitaibtir and :trent!) : the VIs.L I as PARIS, rousaorairr. and CILIAIt. were fo sear the rear of the retreating fleet, that they had nearly cat off the Admiral commanding that divifion ; they raked his tkip feveral times. and did her mock da mage ; the Cisaa had three men killed, and (even wounded. The Tatumla Cartel, }ham Hamar Milner, which failed from Portfmouth a fisort time fince with Spanifh prifoners, landed them at Corunna, and left that port on the zuth inn. The Captain Rates, that at that time there was not a Tingle ibip of the line in that harbour. On the stn he fell in with the Daytaacs man of war, belonging to Sir Rosser Caiman's fleet, about (even leagues from Comma, to whom he communicated the information. Ow Falmouth letter (taus a report, juit circulated, that orders had arrived far the Welk India fleet to put in there till further orders : this is extremely proba ble. as the enemy have Inch a force at lea at the prefent moment. The Mailer of a neutral vac!, which left Rotter dam on Friday laft, rcpotts, that previous to his fail. ing an account had been received there of the Em peror of Gsammtv having refolved to enter into a war with France, He alto repeats the report of a number of French troops which had been embarked in the Dutch ports, having been again landed, and marched to reinforce the army of Hanover. We have no doubt of both of the eaten eats being perfeetly correa. Government have Mud orders, through the me dium of the Tranfport Board, for engaging as un limited number of veffels for the conveyance of troops from foreign parts. The orders given to the agents are peremptory for three months fervice, at twenty fhillinp per ton for every month ; at the ex piration of which time, Mould the Government deem it necefary to enlarge the contra&, the further fey vice is to be performed at fifteen fitillings per ton,- , - Upon thefe terms upwards of ten thoufand tons of (hipping are already engaged. The whole are imme. diately to :amble at Deptford, from whence they proceed to the Nore, where they are to receive their final inftruilions. They are to be employed, in the firft inflame, in conveying troops from the Ruffian pons to Pomerania. On the arrival of there troops in the Swedifh tet ritory, an unequivocal declaration will, it is raid, be demanded from Prof fia of the part (he means to take in the war; and fliould fhe Rill perfill in her fyflem elm= and den gerous neutrality, the Ruffian and Swedifh armies will forcibly march through her dominions to Hano ver and the French frontiers I while another Ruffian army, and the whole of the military force of Aug, tria will commence vigorous operations in other direftions.

The Addrefs being prefented by Sir Ricoutto Nsays his Lordthip was pleated to return thanks for the ho nour conferred upon him. He lamented the ene my's efcape from his zealous purfuit, but at the fame time expreffed his anxiety to aet in any ruin- tion to whicb. the favour of his Sovereign or the ex-1 igencies of the country might call for his exertions. Afterwards the whole of the company retired. to an adjacent room, where breakfatl was laid out, con lifting of tea, coffee, chocolate, ham, poultry, wines, and a &Teri of the firll quality. The gallant Lord lizssov will very fpeedily hoift his Rag on board the VICTOR v.

The bulinefs of harveft at Brighton, and along the coaft both ways, has been contiderably retarded by the military preparations for the general infpcitios by the Commander in Chief. All the oats and bar ley about this abundant kens of cultivation, are cut down. The wheat harveft had begun, but was fud denly arrefted by the call of the foldiery, who were employed in getting it in, to their preparatory prac tice for the grand review, which, in this diltrie, wit take place tn-morrow or Thurfday. At Brighton, for fume days pall, the fportfmen, with their dogs, have been ranging the country, and beating up the quarters of the partridges. Their ge neral report is, that the birds are sot numerous—very backward—. Rill (mall—fcarcely fledged, and weak on the wing ; contequently ill prepared to efcape the Daughter that awaits them on Itfeaddy nest. There is fcarccly a covey within twenty miles of Brighton, in any direaion, that is not marked-dot= in its native held, and under adiosl fiamses of &ca l the moment they are deprived of the cover which the tending corn affords them. Spacious (treks are now forming adjacent to the Well India Docks in the Ifle of Dogs, and ground advertifed for building upon, and thus a new and conGderable fuburb wAI be added to this great Me tropolis. The aftottifiting alteration, dialed lately on this fpot, claim the pre-eminence in our domef tic improvements. In a place, which, four or five years ago, one could anticipate only its continuing a mere mirth, the °paleface, lki 1, and indußry of a body of individuals have adually formed an im meth port, and crated edifices around it, which, when the plan is completed, as it loon will be, will vie with the proudeft effort. of .0.4 m times. Emperors and Rates have conllru&ed har bours, and ereeted towns: but the hiltOry of the world may be ranfacked in vain to exhibit any thing of this kind that can compare with the wonders which have been effeEted by a body of Britifh merchants. Tfie recent removal of the celebrated cartoons cf RAPHAEL, from the Rate apartments at Windfor Cattle, to the Palace of Hampton-Court,affords su additional proof of the attention of his lajasty to the cultivation of the Pine Arts, and his deGre to render the Acccfs to the bell produlions of the pencil in the Royal plireflion, as cal, as poffible to the du dent and amateur. Mete chi ddbevvra of the art, which the King, in his partiality for Windfor, bad put up there, where they were always near him, in the place of his. moll frequent refidence, are now re flood to the gallery which was originally conaruc ted for their reception, by King Wir.traat the Third, in the Inner Court of Hampton-court Palace. Their effeet was, certainly, not nearly fo (hiking at Wind , for, where they were placed in differert rooms ; but in their prefent fituation they are viewed at once. The Cattle itfelf, at Windfor, being now occupiei , by the ROYAL FAMILY, the exhibitiun of theie works was, in a confiderable degree, prevented; bat they are ROY open to all.
