Sir 110 'CRT CALDER arrived, on Thursday even ing, at Portsmouth, in the linnet of Wok!. It is repotted in the Ministerial Circles, that the E ar l o r p„%, is will succeed the Earl of Haan- WICK( as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. It was reported, yesterday, in the city, that the KIKO of Ps Mt A had been poisoned; but we know not what degree of credit the report deserves, nor by what channel it was received. Captain Sr A tOLS, we know, artiv•d in tows, is the course of the day, fro:n ; but he has not brought any report to that effea. As Captain STA TOL! was preparing to sail from Rotterdam, with twenty passengers, the FRANCIS CONSUL put than under arrest, and seized their papers. The Captain was permitted, as a great favour, to der,rt alone. Some very 1 -c .vy firing, off the French coast, was heard at Darer on Wednesday night. The Bed gun-brig re-c:sp,ured and sent in the Ceret of Gottenburgli. which had been taken by a French privateer Arinth:-. of nar gun-brigs chased * brig and a lugger in:n rains. Another brig was recap tured, and se. l. into R imsgate. to which place she belongs. with her Cam ti r desperately The firing. on Wednesday uicht, probably pro ceeded from these altions, ani appears to hive oc casioned a report of an attack upon Boulogne. The expedition, supposed to be destined for that pc-- , pose, however, remaine.l yesterday in the reads It is expelled to sail in a few days. A manoeuvring took place on Wednesday, by signal from on board the Usitiente sloop of war, which appears to aft as Commodore of the squadron cruising off Dover. A signal was made (or the boats from the brigs in the roads, to be manned and sent in, when a part was picked from each boat, to the number of about 40, and sent on board a very fast-sailing cutter. with four day's provisions. There are only two sloops of war, and five gun-brigs, immediately off Dover. The rest of the squadron are lying off Wilmer. Every thing seems nearly ready. The brigs, in the Roads, have taken in various kinds of combustibles. The Diligence sloop takes her's on board in the Reads. She took her guns in yesterday. The Meneaaner packet. arrived at Falosouth, sailed from TortoLs no the 17th September. The iffricaing frigate, with about ninety sail of vessels, for Great Britain, left that Island two days before, accompanied to the Northward by the :4vrehe fri gate, and Iflpenonass sloop of war. The ships from Trinidad did not join the ilea, no convoy having been sent for them. On toe 31 and 4th ultimo, in lat. 40.10 n. 40. the packet experienced a heavy g from the eastward ; and since the lath of (Maher, till near soundings, experienced nothieg but gales f:om N E. to S.E. and saw a great number of dis abled vessels. On the 26th, in lat. 49.10 n. IT. spoke t'ae disdaciest m.us of war, and the Dryad frigate, kinking out for the above fleet ; the day before, the Dryad bad boarded the Warta., Capt. Huscisr !I som, from New Providence, for Liverpool. The apprehensions excited by the concluding pan of AOmiral Co sussoon's inter, for the safety r‘f the prises taken in the glorious vi4h - wy off Cape Trafalgar, have added greatly to the universal unieety to receive farther accounts from the Fleet 'lle gale of wind still continued on the ‘2slh. When the Pickle left the fleet. only nine of our ships were in sight, they having separated in the gale. MAny the prises were tqL.lly ai%masted, And the re mainder bad lost either a fore, main, or mizen-mast each. The r Lori Nstcoa's ship, lost he ,,niseia•mast and tore-top-ru.sct ; scvorAl other 01 nui .hips lost their tOFsmtatts. and une OT IWO their ITlitell.lllMitli It is said, that eight of the p, ire. had already been sunk. and that the A.liniral ha. 4 ordered the men to be withdrawn from neirlj ail the rest, and their masts and rigging to be cut away. preparatory to sinking them. There was one fine ,hip in the care of the Donne:al and Eu►ydice frigate, which the Admiral wished to preserve ; these two ships joined after the anion. When the signal was made from the Vs Bsry. for aftion, each of the British ships was anxious to sig nalise herself, by being the first engaged. The altion began about noon. The Victory did no: fire a sho t until she was close along-side the Sauthiima Troia. dada, when the Commander-in-ChiPt ordered her to be lashed to the enemy. As soon ati the met: began their works, the Comm .nder of the Sostiu , ma rintdada desired his men to assist us lashing his ship to the Victory. The Belfriac was in the hottest of the action, and sustained great loss in killed and wounded—she was totally dismissed. A signal Was made at Maker Tower, for a vessclunder jury masts, on Wednesday iftern: , on —she is supposed to be the Brileigit. The Sharp Shooters from the maintop of the Sanfistima Trd,s dada are said to have picked off agreat number ol our men. Lord NELSON had just been praising the con dna of the whole Beet, an 3 particularly Admiral Coxxi\owono and his division,when he was snuck by the fatal bell, which terminated the existence of the most gallant officer this country ever produced. the killed on board the Vi3ory are said to have amounted to 136. In this number is Capt. AD•I a, of the Royal Marines. The Temersire, of 98, Captain H• ay v, had tw•o three-deckers on her, from both of which she carried away the masts, when they struck. The Temeraire did hot lose a man. The AehiUr, Si (French), blew up in the anion. Tlie Pricer, 9s. had the Trinidad,, 13u", in tow two days ; but, on account of the gale, took ont all the people, and scuttled her, when she sunk. Admiral Geavria• had returned to Cadiz with thirteen sail of the line, after the action of the 21st ult. but came out to see what crippled ship; of their own fleet he could pick up. Two were cer tainly towed in; bas he returned back to CAI:11Z as :re came out ; Admiral Cot at NOWOOD having mail.• the signal for the Br, esn e, 110.
