(Signed) w. YOUNG. His Majesty's Sloop Comet, at Sea, August 11. My Lord—On the 9th instant, I left Gijon, and at ibtlf past eight this morning, being in lat. 45. 38. N.. and long. 5. 4. W. I observed three strange sail N. N. E. At nine, I distinguished them to be a cnr.l vette and two Men of war brigs,, having hoisted the private signal, their not answering it induced me to conclude they were enemies. In the face of so superior a force, I . thought it most prudent to continue my course under all sail, as by altering it they might be inclined to chace me. lam happy to say, that by so doing, the enemy were so far intimidated, as to tack and make all sail from me to the N. N. E. At noon,' the corvette having much outsailed her consorts, tacked, and stood to the south ward. I now carried all possible sail in chace of the two brigs, and at half past three the headmost brig tacked, and passed me to windward about two guns' shot distance ; at five, the remaining brig hoisted French colours, and began to engage me with her stern guns. At-twenty minutes after five, having got within pistol shot of her, I commenced close action, which she sustained for twenty minutes, and being then much disabled, hauled down her colours to the Comet. She proved to be the French National brig Sylphe (commanded by M. Louis Marie Clemont Capitaine , de Frigate, and a Member of the Legion of Honour) mounting sixteen twenty-six pounder cirronades, and two long nines, with a complement of 98 men. Her Second Lieutenant, and a Midshipman, and five men, were killed in the action, and two Midship.' men, and three men wounded, most of them severely. She is a very fine vessel of her class, copper bot tomed and copper fastened, reported to be an excel lent sailer, abundantly found in stores, four years old, about three hundred tons burden ; and, in trytipinion,; very fit for his Majesty's service ; her consorts (who so shamefully deserted her) were the Diligente of 22 guns, and one hundred and forty men, and the Espiegle, of 18 guns, and one hundred men ; they had left L'Orient two Uaysbefore, having each a quan tity of flour on board, and I have reason to believe they were bound to Martinique. I am happy to say no person belonging to his Ma jesty's sloop under my command was hurt ;, but her main and main top masts were badly wounded, and her sails and rigging cut. I beg leave to recommend to your Lordship's no tice Lieutenant Tomkinson, First of the Comet, for his zeal and activity in this contest, and to represent; that the conduct of every officer and the ship's corn - 1 pang (the latter chiefly consisting of aew raised men) was such as to merit my highest approbation. I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) c. F. DALY. Copy of a Letter from Vice-Admiral Lord Cotlingwood to the Hoo. W. W. Pole, lased on board the Ocean, off Cadiz, the 29d July, 1808. SIR—I inclose to you a letter I have received from Captain Campbell, of his Majesty's ship Unite, inform ing me of the capture, by that ship, of two Italian bngs of war, mounting each sixteen 32-pounder car ronades, with a complement of one hundred and fif teen men ; a hired brig, which was in company with these, from the light winds, was enabled to escape. Of ie zeal, activity, and skill of Captain Campbell, I have had frequent occasion to write to you, Sir, in terms of praise ; he has the King's service warmly at heart, and his enterprises never fail of producing good; of his officers he speaks in high commendation, par ticularly of the First Lieutenant Wilson, and I beg their Lordships will allow me to second the recom mendation of his Captain, and offer his merits to their regard. I am, &c. (Signed) COLLINGWOOD. His Majesty's ship UNIT s, off Premuda, June, 1, 1808. Mx Loan—Having taken shelter under Lusin, in a heavy N.E. gale on the 28th ult. which continued until the afternoon of the 81st, when I weighed, get ting from under the land about 5 P. M. three sail were seen close-under Premuda, on the starboard tack, with the wind at East, and were soon made out to be brigs of war ; chace was instantly given. On seeing us, they wore and stood with the tpparent intention of gaining the Channel of Zara. As the night was likely to be clear, and the wind moderate, I determin ed following them, although the navigation (as your Lordship will perceive by the chart) is , extremely in tricate, and we not acquainted with it, but trusting entirely to the lead and a good look-out. Fortunately we kept sight of them until half past 11, and by car rying a press of sail we again got sight of two a little after three A. M about two miles on our lee-beam ; the helm was immediately put up, but the sails were hardly trimmed when the third was observed on the starboard-tack on our larboard bow ; we hauled to the wind, and. passed her within musket-shot to lee ward, and gave her our larboard broadside, with such effect as to completely knock her up, so that she struck witltout firing a gun, the people having run from their quarters. Boats were immediately dispatched to bring the officers on board and secure her, and sail made after the other two, who were making off through one of the passages to get to sea; it filling little wind, and they making use of their sweeps, it was not until nearly seven that we got within shot of the sternmost, who, after receiving a few from us, and seeing' no chance 9f escaping, fired her breadside, struck her colours, and run on 4Rita.:, It continuing to fall less wind, the dther brig behit o nsietth smaller ' by the help of her sweeps was. leakibtrtis fast, as thire was no appeactince of its fuililfejag, and she having got among a cluster. of *nanlsla g nds, I thought it most 'prudent to 'secure sabot we had got, and endeavour to get the one which had run ashore, off • which we soon effected without., her xeceivixigttiela ilt - d4mage. They prbvitobe the Nettuno and Tettlie, of sixteen thirty-two pounders, brass cat:made* .and one hundred and fifteen num. eaeh, senCfrom Tara the day before for the purpose of attacking us; having heard that we had so. many meii - absiitt and sick, that we must fall an easy - prep. Theyare exactly the size of II Ronco that we took a month ago, and but a few months old. I subjoin a return of the killed and wounded, and it-affords me the greatest possible satisfaction that we had not a man hurt. I have the honour to be, &c. m, (Signed) PAT. CAMPBELL.

It is also confirmed that His Majesty was mean enough to rob the palaces and churches of .the metropolis before his departure. He was accom panied in his flight by several of the Spanish Nobles who had lent their aid to subjugate their country, and by all the French subjects who had been settled in business in Madrid. These.details need no comment. They speak for themselves, and hold out a language to the other States of Europe, which we think can hardly fail to be productive of the most beneficial consequences. Let the Rulers of Europe make their People parties in the cause, by granting to them rights and privileges worth contending for, and they may soon expect to be able to boast that a single Frenchman is not left in their country.

Sir—l-had the honour to inform you, in my letter of 17th July, that in a Council of War held on that; day at head-quarters, it was resolved that the di .vision of the Marquis de Coupigny should join that of Major General Reding, and that the attack upon Baylen should be undertaken with the united force of the two divisions, whilst the third division and the reserve should occupy the attention of the enemy, by a feigned attack upon Andujar. Major-General Reding entered Baylen on the mor ning of the 18th, at nine o'clock : he met with little opposition. The enemy retreated towards La Caro lina. The Major-General wrote to the Commander in-Chief for orders, either to advance against Andu jar or to pursue the column which was retiring upon La Carolina. • General Castanos ordered him to ad vance upon Andujar without delay. On the 19th, at two in the morning, the General received information of the retreat of the French from Andujar. Lieutenant-General Pena. with the re. serve, was ordered to advance immediately towards Baylen. The French began their retreat at nine o'- clock, P. M. 18th July. A letter from General Re 'ding informed the Commander-in-Chief, that he in lended commencing his march from Baylen towards Andujar at three o'clock, A. M. 19th July. At two o'clock, P.M. the advanced guard of General Pena's division came up with the enemy. At this moment an express arrived from Majoro General Reding, to inform the Lieutenant-Generat that he had been engaged with the division of Gene ral Dupont from three o'clock in the morning rig eleven ; that he hid repulsed the French, and remain. l ed master of the field of battle. The guns of the, advanced guard of Lieutenant-General Pena' a divi r sion had scarcely begun to fire when a flag of truce: arrived to treat upon the terms of a capitulation --- The discussion did not last long. General Dupont was told he must surrender at discretion. Lieutenant-General Pena halted, and formed bit diviiion upon the heights of Umbla, distant dime miles from Bayles ; between four and five o'clock, General Casterick, Aid-de-Camp to Bonaparte, wag sent by General pupont with orders to treat with Ge neral . Castanos in person. At nine o'clock, P. M. Maior-General Red;‘,.. r -- formed the Lieutenant-General, that during thetruc. he had been treacherously attacked by General We del, who was just come from La Carolina with a re linforcement of WOO men ; and that the battalion of Cordova had been surprised and taken prisoners, to. nether with two field-pieces.

General Castanos deserves the highest praise f,l - well-conceived plan, and for the cool determina tion with which he has carried it into execution, in spite of the popular clamour for an immediate attack on the position of And ajar. Whilst the negotiations were carried on, Gener a l Castanos received an intercepted dispatch from the Duke of Rovego to Dupont, ordering him to retreat imthediately upon Madrid, as the army of Gallicia was rapidly advancing. This determined the General to admit the capku lation of General Wedel.

By letters received from Lieutenant-Colonel Doyle at Corunna, and from Major Roche at Oviedo, of the Bth and 9th instant, addressed CO Viscount Cas• tl-reagh, one of his Majesty's principal Secretaries of State, it appears, that various letters from respec tible authorities at Madrid, and also public Gazettes had been received, both at Corunna and Oviedo, stat ing, that on the 29th ult. in the evening, the French began the evacuation of Madrid. Upon the 30th the evacuation continued ; and, upon the 31st, Joseph Bonaparte, with the remlinda of his troops, quitted the capital for Segovia. T:iis measure was attributed to the French having received the account of the sur render of General Dupont's army ia Andalusia. The French carried with them all the artillery and ammunition they could find means to convey, and spiked the cannon, and damaged the powder they left behind ; they also plundered the Palaces and the Treasury ; they were followed by the Spanish Mini sters who had acted under the French, and, in general, by all the French who were settled in business at Madrid. Upon the Ist of Astgust it was believed theta was not a Frenchman remaining in the capital. ADMIRALTY OFFICE, AUG. 16.
