In confirmation of the above, the following Bul letin was this morning fent to Lloyd's Coffee-houfe : " ADMIRALTY OFFICE, AUGUST 116. 41 The Combined Squadrons of the Enemy are Rated to have arrived at Ferroll." Notwithftanding the bottle of preparation mani felled lately at the Texel and lielvoetfluys, as well as in other ports of Holland, it does not appear that any movements of confequence have taken place either at Mend or Flufhing, as will be ken by the following letter : " OFF OSTEND, AUGUST I. " As you have heard that all is bugle and hurry at the Tezel and Helvoetfluys, you are no doubt anxious to know what the enemy are doing in our neighbourhood : the only anfwer I can give is, nothing at all that we can perceive. The frigates remain in the bafon at Flu(hing, and in the fame (late in which ekey have been for many months paft.

A negotiation,' however, had been commented previous to the departure of the packet ; feveral Va keels had paged, and it was fuppofed that fume kind of compromife, alike honourable to the all'ailants and affaled, would ultimately take place.
