It is also to be observed, that these winds, sal tides, and waves, which exercise such uncontrouled Iv . dominion over the Ocean, are the natural Allies of a revolutionary Government, and harmonise, in a pe culiar drgree.with the fickleness, perfidy. and levity, •f the French character.

These several Potentates, Awn,.

The Seys, in Egypt, have not been more re fs-a -gory, than the winds, those Deputy Governors of England, upon the ocean. During the long time which England has boasted the uncontrouleJ domi nion of the seas. we do not find a single ordinance or law for the proteSion of the property of their se veral inhabitants. The ocean has been left a its &Bed waite, upon which every fish of the sea had a right of common, to live, and feed, and fatten. where It pleases; and if theta seemed animals were not of a domestic disposition,. the Seine and the Thames might be ()soaked with whales. and the Banks of Newfoundland covered with nothing but perrywinkles.

LONDON, MONDAY. Avocir li. A considerable degree of hustle prevailed yester day Morning at the Admiralty. The Portsmouth, Deal, and Plymouth Telegraphs were at work, and their communications were immediately sent of to the several Ministers. Viscount Howard, who had been a: Wiaildedoi, came to town at one o'clock. Admiral Maacnar. Sir H. B. Naata, and Mr. Writon am, attended at the Admiralty. Mr. Moi sten. a Messenger from Prance, and Mr. Ka va, a Messenger from St. Petersburgh. arrived with dispatches. at the Foreign Office. at six o'clock ; and a Lieutenant of the Navy, arrived about the same at the Admiralty, we believe from Ply mouth. His Dispatches were immediately taken into considerat:on. and the Lono Mavens attended twice, to learn their substance. but it did not tran vire. As silence is interpreted unfavourably in such WO% it was immediately reported that Admiral Coc ditaNt's squadron, of four ships of the liae, had fallen•in with that of JSROSIL RONA 11 , A• 1. R. in the West Indies* and that three Of our vessels hid been captured by the enemy. Adiniral CocN ■ANt sailed from Carlisle Bay on the 2J 01 JalY. the day after the second division of the French squadron left Martinique. The great in feriority of our force would not justify sanguine ex pectations in the case of a reacontre ; and an account of the result might probably reach us about this time. We believe, however, that the dispatches are not from Admiral CocaaaNi, bet fVom Sir RICHARD STIR ACK AN...6Th! squadron of Sir Rico Aao has not been heard from since the Slit of May, and his station extends from the Canaries to the westernCond.ient, in the same latitude. Unfortunate ly, out of the course of the enemy. The bustle and aaivity that pievalled at the Admiralty, are all the reasons which we have to presume that the dis patches woe of inspoeuuste. The arrival of the Messenger front Fresco wee an tweet looked lot with much impatience; but the contents of his dis patches could not be eepeaed to transpire. They ceedd bring, however, little more than an account of Lord LAUDIIRDALR'S reception at the French ca pital. Speculation upon the success of his miss'on has become less sargdine at the Stock Exchange. It is now found, that Ilea AAAAA may be, encou raged by his separate treaty with Russia. to rise in ►is demands, or recede from points which, at the opening of the correspondence, he appeared Willing to concede. We do not pretend to know the foundation of these rumours ; but they have had the effea of depressing the Hinds. The Consols left on Saturday, at S4k. and the °minima at 10. 1- 'The VA) troops, so lon embarked at Porte= mouth, sailed on Friday Morning for the tape of Good Hope * with a fair wind, under convoy of the Re:ideate frigate, and the leivrjeak store-ship. The expedition from the-Dowas sailed on Saturday after. noon, under convoy of the Detestation aid taro other bombs. We have received Barbadoes lame and ptpere to the eth last. The Barb*does Paper, of the 51, Contains the following intelligence t— o Sir Alex. Cochrane has again put toms with hi: squadron; they left Carlisle Bay on Widitiesday night, but there is very little appearauce of any chance of bit encountering the enemy ; fee, taking advantage of the absence of our shipi, their squa dron has quitted Fort Royal ! By the o,erey sloop of war, which arrived on Thursday, we first heard of the sailing of three of then; ; and this morning. by a dispateb-bast (win St. Lucia, the departure of those is not only con firmed, but the sailing of the remainder is alto com municated. On Monday morning, three of the enemy's line were seen under the lee of Dominica ; and at 3, p. oh on Tuesday, the three others, with the frigate, were off the Diamond Rock, endeavour. ing to clear the land. •• We cannot but view this egress of the enemy from Martinico with the same regret and astonishment that we did their unparalleled good fortune in safely getting in, frittered out into lo many detachments as they were ; which, as well as their now putting to sea in two divisions, tended the mote to encourage the hope that some of them, at least, would tall into our hands.' It is said that their destination is the Havannah, where two Spanish ships of the line and a frigate wait to join them; but if, happily for the glory of our navy, the progress of their voyage should be checked, and an &Mon ensue even after these divisions have formed a junilion, the acknow ledged bravery of oar Admiral will teach the ene my, that it is neither needed fot him to be led on by a superior officer, nor that his squadron be greater than theirs (as occurred off St. Domingo), for British seamen to triumph over the fleets of France, al though even the sei-disent Braperorie &foie fitother be among the Velem. band I . 4 This squadron of Guillomais is said to have on board, in addition to the regular establishment of their rates, ais light field-pieces, and eight 4%-pound carronades, each ship, and carry from 760 to 800 men, Admiral Cochrane's squadron is well-man ned, and has an addition of 350 chosen troops among them, from the garrison of St. Ann's. The enemy are six sail of the line, one of tnern of 84 guns ; ours, only four, and one of these of 64 guns; a great disparity this, where the state of discipline and national courage are not taken into the calcula tion ; but not to be considered, when the one are Inesparienced officers, and mere French sailors ; and the other, British seamen and officers, accustomed to conquer. 4. Relying on the zeal and enterprise of our squa dron, we can have no other wish than that they may meet the enemy, who has been often taught by us, that "the battle is not always to the strong ;" and *pia would feel in the encounter that would fol low, what a British Admiral, in a just cause, can infl let.
