The evindfournal of Bourdeaux have been suppressed fore t notice the Combined Fleets, and the pooticitizect, t of that place are thus left without even the fame of a newspaper. Nineteen days have 'laps :4 since any intelligence was received of the Combined Fleets, and we ar sixteen days without any account of Lord NELSON. l'he absence of real infarmation has, however, been amply supplied by rumour, and seldom has it been known more busy than yesterday. Some reports stated that the Combined Fleet had put inn: Lagos Bay ; others that they had gone to Tenerife ; othersthat they halcorne down upon our Channel flee. and defeated it, the Brest Fleet having come out of that harbour, and joined in the anion. In support of this last statement, a letter received list evening from NVeyrnouth was cited, which asa•rts that the Captain of the Gr-yiossata cutter hal declared there on Tuesday morning, that the Captain of a vessel, had ma le oath before the Mayor of Exeter, he saw the English and Combined Fleets aduallyengaged.

This appears the most rational of ail the conjelures that have heels formed upon the ; but we are confident the result would be in our favour. Rumour, however, stated that we hal last two ship; of the line. Among the various destinations assigned to Lon! Net.soss, Bantry Bay has received honourable mention. This, like all the other rumours which we have noticed, is without foundation. No account of his Lordship, nor of the Combihed Fleet, was received when this Paper was pot to press. The eipeltations generally entertained of the cap tor, of some of the en.ony's flotilla, in the late en gagement off Boulogne, have not been gratified. rxe Afookey gun-brig, an f the Utile sloop of war, tetoroed on ruesday to the D.oviss, with an account that the mosquito t kept too close under the bat teries upon the olio, out of the reach of our cruise's. We have the se' isfaetion, however, of stating, that during the tremendous cannonading that took place, our fleet sustained no loss either in killed or wound ed. It appears tilt nearly 300 of the enemy's smaller craft came out of the harbour, and a: cnored in an extensive line alottg the coast. but very do e in shore. About twenty, however, the pia and larger vessels stOod nut a little fur:},e , , thtn droppetlanehor. and began to fire at our 89 TA' Ir ii;N the same time a heavy fire was opened by the nume rous batteries that line the coast.

Our frigates and two-deckers did not tire a single gun. An American brig, brought into Plymouth by the Triimp, was, it seems, oue of the small Fleet of Vietualicr: from Bourleaux to Cadiz, laien with n,,nr and biscuit for Admiral Vit., ratuvs's dron. It is clear, th.refore, that the Enemy's Fleet was experlted to reach the Coast of Spain. The state of Vie M elle, arrived at Plymouth, from Admiral CA Losa's Fleet, r. futes the report in some of the Papers that the enemy fired almost ex clusively at our rigging i her principal damage is from shots betwf.cn wind and water.

On Saturday night the regiment stationed at Ramsgate was furnished with the ammunition ne cessary in cue of an attack ; and the orders issued by the General at tFe Distriet, to the Officers of the several detachments, intim ited, that it was un derstood that a desperate effort would be made to land on our coast without loss of time. A letter feceived - from an Officer on board the Mr/ferric, Admiral Russett's flag ship, off the Tete!, dated the 10th instant, states, that the fleet had been reinforced by the Rtrhy s and the Pilittcll if Oracle, of t 4 guns each, and that .fri•m every information that could'he colleSed, there it not the smallest doubt that the enemy will endeavour to pro eyed to lea, every thing being ready for tbat pur pose. mote the am.ini ns view, of 13os As A ass.
