The objeß of this expedition is reported to be the Cape of Good Hope. Government Gem to be apprenfive of the poffibility of what UV yefterday fuggetted, that the combined fleet may perhaps attempt to go round about into the North Sea ; for we find by our Port Letters, that an unnfually large force is affembling in the Downs, and that feveral !hips of the line have been ordered to join the North Sea Rect. If thefe movements have no relation to the poffible courfe of the combined fleet, we may infer that Go vernment have received fuch information, refpeaing the movements of the enemy on the oppofite costa, as makes it probable the long threatened Invafion may loon be attempted. The following extra& from the log book of the Fair American, arrived at Liverpool, which reached us too late yefierday to appear in the whole of our impreffioo, occafioned a good deal of corrverfation in the City, as it was fuppofed to relate to an aetion be tween the Combined Fleet and that of Lord Nstson • WIDNZSDAY, lONS a6.—Brifk gales from the Weftward, peering E.S.E. and E. by S. ; at ten A. M. heard the report of a gun to leeward, Softly after a repeated firing took place, which was kept up with great vigour; by the reports of the cannon it appeared to be not far off, but being very thick weather, we could not fee them. This day ends with a heavy pleat W. lat. 39.2 e. N.-111cfe twattyfour hours begin with a continuation of the gale. At half pelt one P. M. brought her to a forefail and chafe reefed fore and main top falls, the before mentioned firing ceafed not until four P. M. the weather proving very thick and hazy,dif appointed our hopes and expeditions of learning the saute of the bring." No longitude is mentioned in the above, or a more corm% opinion might be formed of the proba bility of the firing having been occafioned by an engagement between the two fleets. For onrfelves, we wilt fay we attach no importance whatever to the above intelligence.— The following, however, comes to us from the tuft authority : 0 ' Plymouth, July 28, 5 p. m. "Tie hired armed brig Caroline is this inftant ar " rived from Scilly ; her Commander informs me that 44 the Commanding Offteer at that Ifland told him 4 , that a Pruffian brig from Naples, which was fpoken 4 , by a Scilly pilot, bad been boarded by one of the 4, fhips of the Combined Fleets, on the zoth init. off 4, the Coaft of Portugal—the brig was detained fome " time, and many enquiries were made as to our a Fleets, and particularly if he had lien Lord NIL 64 son's fleet. The Combined Fleets mailed of 15 4, fail of the line, and 15 frigates, corvettes And brigs. 4, The poft is Petting off." We need hardly remind our Readers that the courfe in which the PrufGan brig reported the had &lien in with the Combined Fleet, is exaftly that which Lord I , lst.sow (according to the different letters from his Rea that have been publithed) believed they would follow. We may therefore conclude that his Lord fhip's fleet was at no great diftance ; and as timely information had been fent to =different fquadrons, it is more than probable that by this time an action has taken place, glorious to the British arms. We fubjoin another letter from Lord Isisssores fleet. This is the fecond which we have feen, dated on the zoth ult. though the Dacaoa left them on the 19th. —Perhaps the difference arifes from fome of the writers reckoning by the civil and others by the nau tical commencement of the day.—By the latter me thod, the day is made to begin at noon. !EXTRACT OF A TEIVATE LETTER FROM AM OFFICER, DATED ON BOARD THE M VICTORY, AT IRA, JONt 10. 6 Although I wrote you by the Corlett:, tsth June, a long ac count of our purtuing the French and Erma& Fleet (united) from the Mediterranean out to the Weft Indies, and ferretted them from illand to Wand, until the turfed cowards took to their heels and have run back again from u., slam' they were greatly fuperior in etombem They had four days !tart of us, in their way home. wards, but we eves, day, war them, and I make no doubt of catching theft% 'ere they get back, if we do, be affured, you !ball have a good account of them.

The Irifh Court of Chancery were engaged two days laft week, in hearing a cattle where an injunc tion was moved for to bar execution on the Donnegal ellate ; on a joint bond of the Earl of DonstGAL, and his fither-in-law, Mr. EDWARD MAY, for &hood. at I the fuit of one Mr. a wealthy Jew. In the courfe of the difcuffion, the Son of /fro/ frequently addreffed the Chancellor very impreffively in defence, of his claim, and was heard by his Lord(hip with confiderable attention. However, the Chancellor finally admitted the injunaion, to.prevent the execu tion operating againli Lord DOMNROAL, until it ap peared that he had derived eaclufively the benefit of ti loan.

Nawcarr LE, Ju 26.—Wednefdaylafi , the aciDer. by regiment of militia was dilbanded in this town; about :so of the men were transferred to the tft giment, the remainder were fuffered to return to their refpeftive homes. Yefterday the whole marched for Durham, not, however, it is raid, without expiefflons of ditiatisraftion at being cord, as they term e d i t , to join another regiment. n after their arrival at Durham, thong fymptoms of riotous conduit were obfervable.amongft the men to filch a degree, that it was found necelfary to fend to this town for detach ments of the tft Dragoons and Cumberland militia, which accordingly marched off with all expedition about four o'clock this morning. Various rumours are in circulation on the fubjeft, but no authentic formation has been yet received from Durham. Extra& of a letter from Durham, dated July 27 : A battalion of the Derby Militia pai4ng through Durham, on Thurfday lilt, Tome of the privates, by their condo& rendered it neceffary to make applica tion for committing two of them to the Houfe of Correftion, to which place they were condufted by guard of twelve men ; but, before there orders were executed, it appears that the mob of this city, feveral of whom werwdrunk, effefted a refcue of the Pao ners. Some of this Militia are not free from taint, one having received 3ocr lathes yefterday on Gill. gate Moor. as being concerned in the affair. The two men have made their efcape. The party of the Derby regiment confilted of between 3 and 400 men ; they began their march Southward yefterday morning aE one o'clock. At Ferryhill, about ft= miles froni this city, they were overtaken by a large detachment pf Dragoons from Newcatile, and brought into Durham market-place ; where I raw them at (even o'clock yefterday morning; forme of them were pinioned. a General Gan v,hrother of the Member, was pre t fent, he (peaks of Nei conduft of the people of Dur ham in terms of the fevereft reproach ; it is raid be means to reprefent their behaviour to Government, in order, as it is fuppored, to have a regiment quar tered in this city, which, I blufh to fay,-their condu& has rendered neceffary. The above account is the outline of this unhappy affair, which gives great un ealinefs to the peaceable inhabitants of the place, and not without reafon. The Durliaol Volunteers, by order, attended the punithment of the Militiaman. By order of General G a a r, the Dragoons patrolled the town in parties. during the whole pf 44 night. The Derby Mu ltifl proceeded on their march again at three o'clock this morning." The Stirlingfttire militia, at prefent in Aberdeen Barracks, are loon to leave that place for Kirkcaldy. Kinghorn, &e. and are to be fucceeded by the Ealt Suffolk, under the command of Colonel Lord Vircount Banns, which arrived in Canongate, Edinburgh, on -Saturday. The Weftmoreland militia marched from r t erwict on Saturday laft for Dunbar. Thurfday a detachment of the 6th veteran batta• lion embaired at Leith for Fort George. The ad Regiment of Royal Edinburgh Volunteers, f battalion, commanded by Colonel Ca c firms, with the Sharp Shooters attached, were reviewed by Bri gadier General GaaHAM, on Thurfday n ight, on Surntsfield Links, and went through their different manoeuvres in a capital flyle of precifion and ilifcipline. Saturday the Second Warwick and Second Staf ford militia delivered up their ammunition to the pro per Storekeeper at Hull. This is a preparatory ilep to the difbanding of the refpetlive regiments. The Eaft Suffolk Militia, lately quartered at Hull, on their march to Berwick, received i further route to Aberdeen Barracks. On Friday evening the Chatham and Gillingham Artillery Volunteers, under the command of Captain Drawbridge, proceeded from their place of excreill. to Gillingham Fort and fired at a buoy, with a fig flag, placed in the river at I,coo yards difiancc. The guns were levelled with confiderable judgment. every fhot ranging with a precifion that w 0i.141 hate done credit to experienced artillerymen.—One fhot Bruck the mark and was near carrying away the flag-flaff. 'fhe eftablithment of the Sea Fencibles is about to undergo a complettirevifion as alto that of the Im• prefs Service. It is intended, for the future, that the duty of the Sea Fencibles, and that of procur ing men for Mb fleet, (hall be carried on under the fuperintendance of the fame officers, as far as fitua lions will permit. It is foppofed, by the adoption of this plan, that the expence will be greatly reduced, and that a confiderable numbei of men will be pro cured to ferve afloat, which were heretofore exempt froth the imprel 4 s, in confequence of bring enrolled Sea Fencibles.
