The roport was founded on a letter from Plymouth, which stated, that the intelligence had been brought there by the Comet French prittateer, which left . 6 Bourdeattv on the 12th, end was c apt u r e d by "fhe Sparrozci and Andromache on the 14th. We cannot, however, ascertain that there is at present any confirmation of this report . as to the cap_ ma ture of Bourdeaut, although it is highly probable' we shall soon receive the important intelligence.--; The CitAxceLLoa of the EicncouEn is evidently of thit belief, by the observation he made to Mr. W. NVvvsa's expression of astonishment that no Minis terial hleunber had proposed the Thauks of the House to the Marquis of Wettawctox and hiabrave troops, fot the victory latMy achieved. The Right lion. Gent. said, that Ministers had a motive for the &lay, in the hope that in a very short time they should hear of another and more considerable ad vantage gained by the same great Commander. The battle of Orthes, on the 28th ult. is repie. tented to have taken place rather unexpectedly ; 0p..; position hot being looked for till our Artily should : have reached the Garonne. It is supposed Sour r's toss, including desertions, to have been about 6000 men.

Ten thousand stand of arms, •and three millions of ball-cartridges, with an immense quantity of cinthing, front the depot at New-Passage, Dock, were shipped• last week for the use of Lord WELLINGTON'S army. The means which have been some time in prepara4 tion, for a more !rigorous prosecution of the war is America, are nearly completed. The Dover, Pehe. lope, and Ceylon, wi th . naval officers, 700 seamen, and volunteer artificers on board, from the several dock-yards, went down to St. Helen's on Saturday morning, together with the store-ship 'Mundt:nee, and several transports, having on board the frames of two frigates of 3% guns each, two brigs of wat t and every description cif naval stores for the equip ment of a numerous 'and most efficient flotilla on the lakes of Canada.
