This morning difpatehes were received at the Ad miralty from Lord NICLSON. They are dated fo far back as the 7th Odober. and bring nothing new. Difpatches reported to be of great importance, were yederday received from Lord GARDMILa on the Irilh Ration. They probably relate to fome reported movement on the part of the enemy. They were im• mediately forwarded to the .arl of ST. ViicanT, at Brentwood, in Effez. go official notice has been received of Admiral Coanwattis having himfelf quitted his nation off Bra. It is polfible that he might remove his flag to another alp, if he found it neceffary to find his own one home. The gveateff aaivity that was ever known in the Admiralty and Naval departments prevails at the prefent moment, in fitting out chips to replace fuch of our blockading (hips as may have received damage in the late tempettuous weather.—The Psaaraca. air, as will be Peen by our Penzance letter. failed on Thurfday to join the fquadron off Breft. This day we received letters from Gibraltar of the 28th ultimo. Though we have within thefe two days bad letters from the fame place, dated the Bth in• Rant, Come of the particulars in thole that have now arrived, are defusing of notice. They mention the arrival of the Mont, on the 26th. from Lord NaLsos's fleet off Toulon, in t 8 days. This,is the seffel that mutt have brought the intelligence we gave from letters that reached us yellerday—namely, that his Lordihip's fleet confift. ed of eight fail of the line, and that of the enemy of five's, but very ill manned. They thew no difpoa. tinn to come out. The Patroraura, from Malta, alfo arrived at Gi braltar on the siSth ; and on the evening of the fol lowing day, the convoy from Malta, confining of 10 tan, arrived in the 347 with the CHARON and CY CLOPS. In confequence of :he fever continuing its ravages at Malaga, all public meetings had been prohibited, and no perfon allowed to quit his houfe except on urgent bafinefs. Tu (hake bands in the Rreet is pro hibited, ender pain of being fent to the Gallic:: Our letters mention that Sir RICHARD STRAICNAN, in the DosisoaL, is extremely alive on the Gibraltar Radon. He anises in the Gut in all weathers, and { pea k every vettel that paffes. The enemy's cruisers have takes nothing in that neighbourhood force his arrival. _ _ From Gibraltar we have alto received the follow ing extzaft of a letter from a Gentleman in Alicant, containing fame particulars refpeding the Algerine fquadron in the Mediterranean : AIIrANT, Nov. to. 1803• *, The Portuguefe Line of &tile Ship, Vasco D a Gaeta. Captain Scaansciita Commander, who, in the lag (user's cruise, captured an Algcrine Xebec carrying 24 guns, came into our harbnur yellerday for the pas-pore of getting provilions. We learn from the crew, that the Vasco us Cara ►asing haled *to the pen of Allgiars, utt the :sea of S:ptertlxr, and finding that the cruisers were at fee, dlreittly (leered .towards Sicily. On the yth ult. if fisa ad t with a large Xebec, wbich;• on examination, proved to be a Turtifian ; barna the , t9th, (he raw an 44: getine fquadron contifiing of tub Frigates, two Ze bees, one mounting 36 guns, and the other 24. three Polacres of 24 guns each, one Brig of 22, and one Schooner of 14, attempting to etre& a landing near the town of Terranova, on the fouthetn coat of •Sitily. It is well known that thofe rovers are often fuccefsful in there iniquitous attempts, and carry into' slavery a number of men, women and children from that coat. as well as from other parts of the Nea politan and Roman States. Nutwithaanding t h e fuperiority of their number, Capt. SCARNICHIA Rood for them. on which the Algcrine , . appearing to be much difeoncerted, defifled from their intent, and endeavoured to get away. The Vasco continued the chafe without lofing fight of them till about ten at night, when a flrong ,gale fpringing up from the north, they got off. She continued her cruise between Malta and Sicily till the 25th, when a fti gate was feen fuppofed to be an Algerine, which lbs chafed tit' fumfet. A very fudden form of wind and rain having rifen from the north, it brought the Vasco under her bare poles, and thereby the frigate duped. The continuance of the boiflerous weather, as Well as the fcarcity of provifions, has prevented the Vasco from appearing off Tunis, where kt is fuppofed the Algerines have run for (helter." We have mentioned the different circurnitanots that have tranfpired, and the rumours that have been circulated within thefe few days, tending to fbew, that the attempt of the enemy to invade us might be fpecdily looked for. There teems. but little doubt, that the enemy had formed a plan to furpri ae us by coming over in thole veffels. which under neu tral colours, have been allowed. without molefla don, to enter our different ports and harbours, though it was well enough known. that they were not only from Dutch ports, but, there were reafons for believing in many cafes Dutch property ! The poffi bility of effeding Inch a plan might be doubted, but there was no doubt of the enemy having employed thefe veffels to obtain intelligence from this country. The plan was, however, detefled, which gave rife to the late orders refpeßing neutral vetch. ThC fol. lowing official communications throw force light on the fubjed I (COPY.) The Lord Lieutenant of the county of Us; having received a Letter from the Right Hon. CHU. YORKS, one of his Majefly's Principal Secretaties ofl State, whereof the following is a Copy, earneftiy re. commends the particular attention of; the Magilirates refiding in the neighbourhood of the coaft of the Paid county 'to the circumflince therein mentioned; and requefts that they will give filet; direaioni to the Peace Officers as they (hall judge regitifitecone4roing the fame. . • MT LORD, whkatin, Dee. vr, Mx a It having appeared that Dutch veliels from Hol land, under Pruffian colours. have been in the prae , lice of retorting to the eaft coaft of England, for the double purpofe of carryiag on contraband trade. and conveying intelligence to the enemy, it his been judged proper to direa that they fhonld in future be prevented from fo doing between the Humber and the Downs, Yarmouth roads and the Downs ex cepted. As however the meafures taken for this purpofe may in tome inflances be eluded by their put ting perfons clandeßinely on (bore, where the coal will permit of it, I am to defire that your Lordfhip will particularly point the• attention of the Magif trates, rcfiding in the neighbourhood of the coaft of Efex, to this circumilance, In order that they may direa the Peace Officers to be particularly watchful in difcovering any perfons of this defcription. and in bringing them before the Magiftrates to be examined; in which cafe, I &add with that -the rcfult may be tradmitted to me as fpeedily as pofEble.

While proper Mia(pres were taken to preycnt the enemy from gaining any advantage by employing neutral Zags, proper orders were at the fame time fent to the Military Commanders on the different parts of the coal, to guard againft any furpriae. Letters'from Ipfwich inform us, that the General of Brigade there had called a meeting of the Com manding Officers of each regiment at that place on Sunday morning laft, and informed them, that from a*letter he had jun received, they were not to fnffer either Officer or private to be abfent from his regi ment a tingle day, en any pretence whatever. The General 'equaled that it fhould immediately be made known to all the Officers, in order that the whole might be prepaied to'march agaion the enemy at an hour's notice. Thirty-five rounds of ball car tridge were innintly given to each foldier at that place. The military at prefect, in and near Ipfwich, amount to 9,000 men. ' Similar orders were fent to other parts of the'coaft, and the Public may reit attuned that the =arms of the enemy are properly watched. His Royal Highnefs the Duke of You held yef terday a Military Levee, at the Horfe Guards t af ter which the Camicssi.os of the •Eicnaosra.

It is known that the letters from Bombay came down to the 6th of Augufi ; fo that they muff confirm or contradia the report of the detention of Admiral Limo's. Thou;h the public are fo anxious for in formation on this point, they have not hien gratified s and the only anfwer given to the molt eager inquiries iat the India boufe s, that al it me. There is ma fon to believe that all is well, and that we certainly had the (tart of the French in India. In addition to the information brought home by the Alexander, we learn the following particulars : The Cumberland, Capt natal, failed from Ma drai about the asth of June left, and pat in at Penaog, en her way to China, where the met the Aufpicious, Capt. Basest, who is !Ince arrived, and who Rates that Capt. Fosse informed him that an imprefs of feamen had taken place in the port and bay of Ma dras, the day before he failed ; a etreumflance which . haftened his departure , _ as he dreaded the ids of his men. That Admiral Rai st ea had gone into die Mai of Pondicherry, which bad given fuck alarm trek French frigate, lying at anchor, had weighed a and made off. This account molt perfealy tallimas to time with the intelligence from &mbay of the t6th July, and renders it highly probable that Admiral toots fell into the power of the Bash& fetaadroa. Difpatches have been tcceived at the Admiralty; dated on board the Tamar in April left, mataim . ing au account of our fquiuiron. in the Indian fem. having dettroyed feveral piratical vefiels that had ills felted them for a long while, to the great anopenik of commerce. . o sais i: A Coc a wit* a 'Wools, e Leo.—Nicbolne the driver. of one of the Lend& *ages, has e familia + game cock. named franester, which has was battle he ever fought, but a thort time face he anall the misfortune to break hist', in a rat trap.
