GOLETA QUIS DICERZ VALIUM AUDGATi L 0 ND 0 N, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1807. ' 63 PlsPyi.ctits were this morning received nt the Admiralty from Lord COLLINGWOOD, but the sub stance of them has not transpired. Sir A. PAGET has errived at Portsinouth. Tug, Expedition under the cot* nand of Sir COTTON and Gem SpEttcEtt,' will sail, wc on Saturday. A variety -of reports were circulated yesterday evening, respetiting Sir SiDNEY. It was stated that the gallant Admiral had\ forced the pas sage of the Tagus, and had capturedtlive Sail of the Line. This account appears .to.. us extremely im-. probable, because if Sir S IDNEY had captured any' of the Vessels in .the Tagus, he must have captured all. In an. attempt of that kind there must have been either complete success, or total failure. It is in deed possible, bat not very probable, that the Was sian Fleet may have put to sea, for the purpose of reaching a French Port., and that. Sir StuNcy may 'have intercapted and captured a part of it. Another report of list night was, that our Squadron had been repulsed, with very considerable loss, 'in: an attempt to enter the Tagus, and that Sir Stotirit' had been severely wounded. This rumour appe4s to us entitled' to as little credit as the former, No intelligcrica whatever has reached the AdMiralty upOn the subjea, but as the wind has fur some days been favOurable, some, authentic information from that quarter may be.hourly cxpeded. • Ht.; MAJESTY did,not,come to town „yesterday, 35 ova ; tAweded, io consequence of Lord fiAwlths..

But some of that disapprobation also arose ftOin unto" , ward incidentS, which do not atfea the general struaure of the Piece.
