In the former were thirty-four vessels of different dpscEiptions ; and, in the latter, fifty-six were ;minted, mostly gun-hoats and cut ters, as all the transports had been removed into. the canal coming from Bruges, and, their number could not therefore be ascertained.

S. W. course. We wese then inclined to believe, that the Captain had mistaken the class of the strange vessels, as we were not aware of any French or English squadron which could be in that quarter, answering the descriptio". In this opinion, we were confirmed by one of our con temporaries, which stopped the press, for the ex press purpose of giving a dire contradi2ion of the report. Our belief is, however, again shaken, by the following extra& of a letter received from a Correspondent at Brixharn, this morning :-4. Upon the Roth July, as Captain Hoastr.v, of the ship Atiare, late of Liverpool, was returning from Lis bon, in a vessel belonging to Lubeck, he saw in lat. 41. long. 91. a fleet, consisting of nine sail of the line, and five frigates, which he firmly helieves to have been French. They shelved no colours, although one of the ftigates came very near to him. They were steering n southern course, at the rate of nine knots an hour, with the wind at N. W. Captain H. declared himself ready to verify this report upon oath. He is a man of veracity, and belonged to the unfortunate fleet wrecked upon the co..st 4)1 Portugal, on its way out to the West Indies." BR1fL)11 PRESS• . I.I)NDON, THURSDAY, Austir 16.

The first occupation of locals, since his return to the Ministry of Police, is to crush what BOWAP4iTi calls the failion of Generals, which is the only one be now seems to dread ; but, to be able to do so, he mug invent some new plot, and publish new nth of conspiracy and new lists of proscriptions against pretended conspirators, in which those Generals sus pelted or hated by him are inculpated. It is already reported, with confidence, by BOSAPARTeI favour. ices, that a tail of the late Royalist conspiracy has been found out. as mach to be apprehended, and u deserving punishment as the body of it. The par ticulars are, however, not mentioned, and every party therefore publishes then) according to its own notions or wishes. The only thing known is, that the late Royalist Chief, Count de Bo UItMONT, who, in January 1 fix, made his peace with the Consular Government, and was, in the December following, contrary to the treaty, arrested and sent to the Citadelle at Besancon, where be remained shut ; in the beginning of this month, was car ried to the Temple, where he still remains, accused of be ng at the hem] of a new conspiracy. in which Le ITORIE, MACDUSALD, SOUII AM.

His Manua left Warsaw on the Ws of last month, with the Duke of Anoossens, for Russia. The pro• endings at Ratitbon. in the case ofthe horrid and atrocious murder of the Duke of Elton ma, by that lengthy nes of the Old Mai' of the Mountain, the Mock Emperor of the French, are likely to end, as we have long feared, in nothing.
