The official notice is filent as to the days on which there valuable captures were made, but it is known that the lath mentioned frigate was captured on Sun day the 28th, and the others an the 25th ult. Sir SAM OIL HOOD, with the CENTAUR, his own (hip, and the Idosaacor, both of 74, fell in with the enemy, conflfting of five frigates and two corvettes on the 25• h ult. The enemy bore down on them, taking them for Indiamen. They had left Rochefort the preceding evening, and were full of troops. Their deftination faid to have been the Well Indies, upon tome expedition, fuggefled, perhaps, by the cape• rience and adventures of Prince pitons ; but it is ftrongly lapelled that the ultimate, if not the only objed it bad in view, was to deprive us of ourlate im• portant conqueft of Buenos Ayres. The enemy made a very obftinate refinance, and have (offered fe verely. The fifth frigate, and the two corvettes efcaped, but we have thong hopes that they may fall in with (ome of our fqoadrons ; at any rate they can do little mifehief. The Infs on board the CIIITAtIII and MONARCH was 9 killed and 3: wounded. Sir SAMOILL HOOD'S tight arm was flattered by a mulket Got, and he was obliged to undergo amputation. We are happy to Rate, however, that he is doing well. He was landed at Ride, in the file of Wight, whence he was hourly expeeed at Portfatouth whets our letters left that place. The Prefident, captured by Sir THnstas Louis's fquadron on the 28th, did not belong to the above fquadron, but has been on the Coat of Africa with the Regulus, of the line, and other ft igates, and was on her return home. She feparated from her con forts on the zoth ult. She was brought to aSion by the DISPATCH brig, and was foon compelled to Sake on the Canopus coming up.

The one arrived here, mounts about so gun., and is moR complete in every point. The frigates behaved remarkably well, they fullained the combat fur a long time, and being crouded with troops, the carnage has been prodi gious. Two of our own Mips, the MARS and Mom ARCH, have fuffered confiderably. The French frigatesthad alloo choice troops on board: they fay they were going to the WeR Indies, but a variety of circundlances make it probable that this expedi don was intended againfl Come of our more diflant re:dements, very probably nur newly acquired con quell in South America.

PLYMOUTH, OCTOBER 2. 4, The French frigate that arrived laa evening is The PRESIDENTS, of 4$ Duns, ;ad 300 Max. She was captured off Bel Wile the a 8 12 ult. by the fquadr ,, n under the command of Rear Admiral S I , THOMAS LOUIS, confitting of The Caunrus, MALTA, Rarutst, CAPTAIN, and GANGes, THE S e of the line, and DISPATCH, of 18 guns, Capt. H•WIE ENS. " The chase was continued twenty three hours by the CANOPUS and the DIsPaTCH ; there (hips being prime (ailers, ran the others out of fight, and the Dural-cm, which was the headmoil, kept up a gal lant running fight with the Ptefidente one hour and three quarters, by which feveral of the Frenchmen were wounded; but the DISPATCH bad none killed or wounded. This (hip was returning from the Coaft of Africa with the Regulus, of 8o guns, and another frigate, and parted horn them the soth ult. of which circumftance Admiral Lotus is informed, and we are in great hopes that they will (hare the fate of the Prefidente there are the (hips that captured the Fa vouatra of war, and did fo much other mirehief un the mill of Africa, of which accounts have already been given in the public papers. " This morning arrived the French frigates INDEFATIGABLE, oLto Gans and Soo Man,bal are GLOIRE, of 4' Guys, and Sao Melt, captured by the Squadron under the command of Commodore Sir SASIU IL HOOD, confiding of The MARS, Rsvaacr, - MONARCH, WINDSOR CAMS, POLYPHEMUS, and Can r•lnt, Acnittis, of the line; the three former of which are arrived here with du frigates. Thefe frigates failed from Rochefort the 24th ult. in company with the Minerva, and Hermeide, of 44 guns each, (which are alto captured, and gone to the eallward, with the Certraort, of 74 guns, Sir SA.. MOH. HOOD) ; alto another frigate of like force, and two corvettes, which have for the prefent efcaped s but hopes are entertained that they will be captured: they ran them a chace of zoo miles, and the only (hips that got up with them, were the Cigarette, Mo. reartCH, and MARS, which were very warmly engaged by the whole fquadron. The CENTAUR had ten men killed, and Sir Samuel. HOOD hap unfortunately loft: his right arm. The Momaac tr has info fuffered very much in her hull, and has four men killed ; (he was engaged one hour by three of the frigates. The cap. tore took place the astli, the day after they failed ; in fhort, they had not been at lea fix hours when the chace commenced. The denruEtion of thi: fquadron may be confidered of very great moment, as they were full of troops, and going to the Weft Indies; or, as others report, to Buenos Ayres. The captured (hips have asoo foldiers on board. The three frigates which are arrived here, are very large and beautiful (hips, and of the firft of their clati. The Iquadron confined of feven frigates and two corvettes. " The Acnitts,of 74 guns, is now coming in with one cf the frigates in tow, that was bound to Ps,rtfmoutti.—A report is prevalent that the Regolos of Bo guns, and the other frigates, are taken by the Cswor us and others, after a gallant refiflance, but we cannot give it as fad, though we hope the refult will be fuch."

The 9tb and 17th Light Dragoons, the sth, 36th. and 88th Foor, together with part of the sth and 6th, and the whole of the 7th and Bth battalions of the King's German Legion. and a company of Britifix Artillery, fliU remain at Spithead. The only troops going on a very diflant fervice, are the 36th and 88th Regiments, which are embarked in large copper bot tnmed tranfports, and carry out Rat bottomed boats. The detention of the fleet is Paid to be owing to the (tore thips not being yet ready to accompany them. We regret that the public fervice is delayed by any. unforefeen caufe, but we fincerely hope it may not bet owing to any utifunderßanding between thofe who condo& the different departments of the public fervice. Captain Dortittsr, of the ARDENT, with a fri gate and floop of war, has by this time taken charge of the remote expedition under Sir &smuts. AUCIt. MUTT; it originally confided of a company of Ar tillery, and of asth, 117th, and 95th regiments, and was intended for the Cape of Good Hope. It is not improbable that the 4oth regiment has joined this force, and that the whole gn to Buenos Ayres. Sir Sanuar. AUCHRIurt is as ofEcer junior to General BRAE:CORD, whom the Adminiaration bas fo pro perly left in the chief command. The Lincoln, with Major MAITLAND, and many' Officers for the two Ceylon Regiments, for the Wand of Ceylon, and the Euryalus, with man) Officers for regiments at the Cape, are on the point of failing, and go under the convoy of the ARDENT. Colonel CaAWFUPD was expelled ha night at Pot thnouth, to affume the command of the Expedi tion proceeding from thence on dißant attire: it will probably fail loon after his arrival ; various are re. ported to be the objets of it ; the latell report rays, it will double Cape Horn. It was to have bten convoyed by Sir Sarum How, ; but the late rencontre which this gallant Officer had with i the French frigates, prevents this. Another convoy will doubdefs be appointed lame. diately. Yetterday a telegraph order arrived at Portfmouth for the tranfports with the 9th and 17th Dragoons to fail immediately ; but at the time our letter came off, they had not been able to jet opt, the wind IthawiPg dine], in their teeth. 11 )
