Wz are happy in being enabled to announce to our Readers, that the French Frigate Didon, of 44 guns, and 300 men, has been captured by the Phte ntx Frigate, 0f36 guns, after a very gallant AEtion, .which lasted for three hours. The Vessels met on the 10th imt. a little to the Westward of the spot where the Mtion of the 2S4d ult. between Sir,Ron. CALDER and the Combined Fleets, was fought. • The greatest praise is due - to Captain BAKER, and the gallant Officers and Crew of the Phoenix, for the very spirited "and gallant manner in which they be gan end continued the Mtion i and, finally, captured a Vessel superior in weight of metal and in number of men. The 'Dillon was totally dismasted in the Aaion she is one of the largest and finest Frigates of her class in the French Service. She sailed from L'Orient to Martinique in 26 days; with the intelli gence of 'Lord NELSON having passed the Streights. After her return She was dispatched from Ferrol, on the day the Combined Fleeti arrived there, in search of intelligence respeaing the movements of our Fleets. Our Readers will recollect that we ftated some days'sgo that the Combined Fleets were seen by the Aralad. on the 14th ; we are, now enabled to cot- . rea our statement on the bett was,the Dragon that saw them on 'the 14th;-, ,On the - t.ith they were soeit: by 'the 'Araiad in nearly the same situation. Sir ROitERT ' CAPER was.detachcd on the 17th ; there is there fore the strongest reason to hope that he would fall in with them. The Combined Fleet only consisted, of 26r Sail in all ; making an allowance, therefore, for Frigates and Corvettes, it is not probable that they had above 20 S4il of the Line. It seems, from their steering a North-west course, that they. were not destined for the Mediterranean; it the;e(bre still, remains a matter of conjeaure, whether their object be to raise the Blockade of Brest; to' make an attempt upon Ireland, or. to sail to the North about for the purpose of relieving Flec , t. in the Teel but whatever their design may he, we entertain the most sanguine' hope that it willbedefeated by their filling in with the British: Fleet. • No Dispatches have been received from Sir It. CALDP,R since he vati, detached by Aclrrgral COR'N- WALLIS., The following Letter was this Morning sent from the. Admiralty to I,Lora's ‘f His Majesty's Ship _Dragon, which joined the Fleet under Admiral CORNWALLI3 on. the • 23d inst. reports, that on the 'loth, oil Cape Orteg,ral,. she had fallen in with . lißa Majesty's Ship phernix, Capt. BAKER, having in tow the French Frigate Didon, of 44 guns, and 300 men, which she bad capture.d on the 1 oth, after a severe anion of. threp hours, in lat. 43. M. North, long. 12, 14 ''est. On the 14th a large Fleet of the Enemy NYas seen in the N. E. quarter, having th e i r heads to the Northward and Westward, a Frigate from which came near enough to the Dragon: to make put what she was, and, after speaking. a Danish ship, and making several signals, returned to her own Fleet, which hauled its wind, and - was not in sight the next morning." WE yesterday laid hefore cur Readers the sub- , stance of the Dispatches from Admiral CoRN;WALIM, rdative to the movements made by the Brest Fleet on the evening of the vlst. > In the course o f th e afternoon the following Letter from the Admiralty was stuck up at Lloyd's 44 Adostrialty-Oier, ihrvist 27, ilk. " A. Letter from Admiral Costiv . vvawa, dated the azd instant, states,,that on the,preceding evening the Brest Fleet, consisting of 21 Sail of Line of Battle Ships, and tour Fri. gates, appeared outside of the Harbour. " The Admiral anchored his Fleet of t h e Black Rocks ' , and, in the morning, endeavoured to bring the Enemy, who were under weigh, to ad:Unit ; but when their heactruest Ship WAS within gun-shot, she Erred a broadside and tacked, the rest doing the same, and took their anchorage bet Ween tbo Points at the entrance of Brest, ‘4, An . attempt was made to cut off, their sternmost Ships ; brit a heavy fire of shot and shells fmm their ilatteries pro vertteci success." • . happy to state, that the gallant Lord NFL som will very speedily hoist his Flag ou board the Vit . /04. His Lordship is again to have the com mand in the Mediterranean, but we understand Ohl'. the Cadiz Station z to be includlM within the limit s of that command, T. L:rd ,GARDNF,}4 shortly returns to Ireland in the 17i)paxe l'rgate, to resume his command on that important station. His Lordship is at present in Devonshire, and we have little doubt, should. the Enemy make any attempt on the shores of Hibernia, the gallant Member for Westminster (whose.dis tinguislwd condua on the glorious Ist of June must ever entitle' him to the gratitude, as it then did to the admiration 9f his Country), will give a very good account of the wily Corsican's Wandering Ma raudvrs. We are confidently assured that kussia, Austria, .Sweden, and other,POWON have entered into a po sitive arrangement respeoling the measures' which are to be adopted in relation to France and- we have great reason to believe.that one essential point agreed upon by all Parties is, to demand an unequi vocal declaration from Prtl4l of the part she means to a& in case (,f war agaiIISt.IiONAPARTE, as her di rea co-operation with him is deemed less disadvan tageous to the general cause than a mean and self , ish Neutrality, Such a Neutrality too is as little' consistent with sound ,discretion as with national dignity, since, if fONAP.AIVTE were able to consoli date and establish his present overgrown `pos.vcr.. Prussia must in due time expecct to be exposed to: the same insolence and aggressioufroiu the Usurpei. as he has exercised towards so many other States. IT is observable that in one of the l a te ,Official Notes in the' Illonitenr, the language of defiance which it usually held towards this Country is materially changed. It will be recolleaed that in the 'famous •pose, published befOre the War by the French Government, it , was triumphantly asserted, that " England, single-handed, was not a match for France." Two years of War, however, through the whole of which France has had the assistance of Holland, during a part .of which she has hadtthe ccmmand of the whole Navy of - Spain, have cop - vinced her of the futility of that beast.—lnstead, therefore, of now asserting that " England is not a nutch single-handed for France," the proposition is co3siderably softened, and the Moniteur contents kelt with declaring that, " England, single-handed, cal do nothing against France." Capt. P. CAMPBELL, who s o nobly distinguished himself.by cutting out of Dunkirk Roads the. Desiree French Frigate, of 40 guns, when conunanding the Thu/ Sloop of War, is appointed . to the Chiffinne Frigate, at. AVeymouth. This excellent Officer, in the ardour of reconnoitring the Port of Rochetbrt, m3lO/I Months since, had the miSfortune to get aground in the Doris ; which Ship, after using every possible exertion to save, be was obliged to Are and abandon. it may also be recollated, Cap. C. wil t ; afterm,ards in the boat which Capt. JER VI s, of the Tonnunt, and narrowly escaped the fate of the latter Offieer,---We rejoice to think Captain C. is restored to uaive service ; and learn with pl ea sure that another excelleni'Oliicer, whom we have more than once had occasion to mention (Captain, BuowN, late •of the Orestes., wrecked off Boulogne), is shortly to be 'employed.---Thus the , Conduaors of our Naval Administration, by calling forth the energy,' the ability,, and valour of our na tional Protectors, best answer the futile attacks of every flimsy partizan, feeble declaimer, or disap pointed individual. - Yesterday, about three o'clock, ViscounteAmt , RE A G Lord M u LGR r , General' Pun ITS', Mr. PITT, and Mr. LONG, : ,set off down the River from the.
