A Portugnefe gentleman, taken ont of the brig Jo hanna Francifca, of Hamburgh, from Oporto, bound to Toningen, by the Hoop Succefs, of Penzance, re. ports, that on the isth ult. in lat. 44. Cape Fininerte, bearing S. E. by E. 40 leagues dinant, they fell in with about forty fail of (hips, twenty-fix of which were of the line, feveral frigates, and three merchant vt.iTels, one of which they had jun let fire to. The fleet were then (landing to the wettward under eafy fail. There can be no doubt that the above was the Com- bined fleets, for the accounts received by cartels,from Clrunna, nate their force at the fame number, viz. fifteen (hips of the line from Vigo, and eleven from Ferrol, with feven frigates, and ten corvettes and brigs. They appear at that time to have taken three prizes. W e are now, however, relieved from all uncer tainty refpeifting the declination of the enemy. They have followed exaely that comic which we pointed out as the one they would molt probably purfue, when we firft heard of their failing, as our Readers will fee by the fubjoined fhort letter : " His Majetty's Ship Achille, off Cadiz, sad Augutt, rBos. " The Combined Fleet, conlifiing of 27 fail of the line, arrived at Cadiz on the zoth inn." From the above, it appears that they had been joined by one (tip of the line after quitting Ferrol. At half pafl ten o'clock this morning, Captain BLACK wool) arrived at the Admiralty in a poll chaife and four, with difpatches from the Channel Fleet, loon after the receipt of which the following letter was fent to LLOYD'S " ADMIRALTY OFFICE, SEPT. 2. 180 5. " By a difpateh received this morning from Ad " miral Cow sowoon, dated off Cadiz the z tfl " ult. it appears that on the preceding day the ene " my's fleet, confining of twenty-feven or twenty " eight fail of the line, with feveral frigates, entered " that harbour, after ineffeflually chafing the !mall fquadron under the Vice•Admiral's . enmmand. " On the z4th the EURYALUS, by which the dif , " patches were tranfmitted, fell in with Sir Rosser " CAI D6R'S fquadron zo leagues N. W. of Cape St. " Vincents, to whom the intelligence was communi " cared." We may loon expeEt farther accounts, as Sir Ro- DART CALDER would immediately proceed for Cadiz. It is probable the enemy, as we fuggeiled fome time ago, Kill next attempt to reach the Mediterranean. At Cadiz the Combined fleet will be joined by the !hips that were left there when the fleet watt IA off that port; and if they fucceed in getting into the Mediterranean, their force will become very formi dable by the accdflon of the Carthagena fquadron. We flop the prefs to announce the arrival of a fe c and ezprefs at the Admiralty, with difpatches, liming, that the Combined fleet, after arriving at Cadiz, had again put to lea, following a Northerly courfe. As we have more than once had occation to noticc, the courfe (leered, on leaving port, proves nothing relpeeting the real deflination of a fleet : it is in ev y cafe neceffary to gain an offing, and, be tides, a falfe courfe is often followed to deceive an aiverfary, till darknefs enables them to alter it with las chance of deteetion. The Prince of 'Wales Lifbon packet, for the fafety of which fome fears were entertained, has, we are foiry to fay, been captured by a Spanifb privateer. We are concerned to Hate that the yellow fever has appeared among the crew of the Diligenti a . ar _ rived at Plymouth from Jamaica. She has been put under quarantine, and we hope every precaution will be adfipted to prevent the polEbility of the malady being brought on (bore. We are happy to learn from Granville, that the gallant Lieutenant GAllt try, late Commander of the PpUMPfR gun-brig, captured on the jerfey nation, is in a fair way of recovery, and will be fent to Eng. 14rid as Eton as the Rate of his health will admit. liir wife, we underQand, is at Jerfey. We have this day the pleafure to announce the fafe arrival at Greenock. Dover, and Plymonth, of three (hips, being part of the Jamaica fleet. For the particulars brought by there (hips, fee our Nautical Intelligence. A Gottenburgh Mail arrived this morning. It brings the following fuort but important letter.

At the earneß folicitation of his Royal Highnefs Prince Wil liam Frederic, (now Duke of Gloucefter,) however, his Majetty was induced to comply with the requeft of his deceafed Brother, and on Saturday. at 12 at noon, a rneffenger arrived at the office of the Earl of Dartmouth, Lord Chamberlain to his Ma. jelly, with orders from the King that the remains of the Duke fhould be interred at Windfor, and that the funeral thould be private, as the place of his burial is. About sso men, employed by Mr. Wyatt in mak ing preparations for the proceffion from the Houfe of Lords to Weßminder Abbey, were (topped from proceeding with the work; the Royal Trumpeters, the Yeomen of the Guards, and others, who were holding thernfelves in readinels to attend, and form a part of the proccfrion, were told that their Cervices would not be wanting on the occalion, and in the evening his Majefly's commands were publitbed in the Gazette in the following form : " WHITEHALL, Auc. 31, 1805.—0 n the morning of Wednefday next, the 4th of September, the re 'mains of his late Royal Highnefs the Duke of Gt.otr came will be removed from Glouceller-houfe o Windfor, where they will be privately interred in the vault built by order of his Royal Highnefs for himfclf and family, in the choir near the Sovereign's Stall, within the Royal Chapel of Saint George ; in which vault the remains of her late Highnefs the Princefs Castor-ma AUGUSTA MARIA, youngeft daughter of his Royal Highnefs, were depofited on the 22d of March, 1 775."
