S7~s Consols "r HE SU QUIS DICER% ►ALSVdi A.DLIEAT ? L N D l'l/41ON'DAY, AUGUST 19, 1805. IT will be seen' by our Portsmouth Letter, that Lord NELSON has arrived at that Port with the riclory and the Sillier!). it appears that after leav ing the Streights of Gibraltar on the t h ult. his Lordship cruized along the Spanish, Portuguese, and French Coast, in the hope of falling in with the Enemy, but unfortunately without success. Hay • ing at length ascertained that the Combined Fleet had got into Port, his Lordship returned hot ie with the two Ships above-mentioned : the rest of, his consisting of nine Salle of the Line, joined Admiral CoutawALLIS, whose Force is time vety little, less than 40 Sail of the Line. With reapeet to the day on which the Combined Fleet got into Port, and even of the Port 'which they entered, there are very contradiaory accounts. It is stated in a letter which we this day lay before our Readers, that they entered Vigo on the 29th ult. while all the' other accounts repreient them as having got into Ferrol and Corunna. We believe, that,' in 'point of fa&, Vigo was the first Port they made, but that, they re mained there a Very .;.:I,ort time, being apprellensiVe of an attack, and sailed ai soon as possible for Fer rol, where they now have a piost formidable Force cold oiled This uncertainty which prevailed' respe&ing the positive situation of the Combined Fleets fully jus tifies what.vio said on Saturday, in anawer to the illiberal retleiStions iu,a Morning Paper of that day, on the present Board of Admiralty, obviously result, from an invidious quarter, that, will not admit any 'merit exc9pt in the Board o - er,whieh Earl Vigc r ENT presided. It wits yesterd:ly I. positively reported, that the 'row Fleet, under the command of Admiral WIN- Tan, had sailed to the Northward. We have reason to believe that this report is unfounde& Admiral nu SSEL, whose Fleet has been reinforced. wi th two Sail of the Line, is off' the Texel,.and we think it very improbable that the Dutch Admiral would venture to put to sea in the face of the'British Fleet. The following is the Letter to which we have al hided above : EXTRACT OF A LRITF.It FROM A ronalippEsz mr,a- • CHANT, TO /115 PARTNER AT VIENNA, DATED PROM VIGO, JULY 29, AND RECEIVED AT OPORTO, ON T 11.3/ 31ST JULY, 1805. " l'he Combined. Fleets got into Vigo on the 7th July, in the evening, consisting of i g Ships of the Line, four Frigates, two Brigs, and a re-captured Galleon, from Lima, leaving two sYps at the en trance of the harbour to look out. " On the in the 'horning, 40 leagues We,t nr Cape orteg4l, they foil in \kith the British Squa dron, consistina, of IG'Sail of the Line, three of t hem three-deckers, who immediately engaged them in a thick fog. " The ikaion lasted, it is said, six hours. Nine rif the French Ships were to leeward, and not en - gaged. One of the British three-deckers was totally tilg1111;,(Cd, and otherwise - much damaged. Upon the Combined I jo . ni is next day, they say, they Cilaht:d the. British, who roinsed to renew the adios, • and in this mnirier they, hive rai , ,ed the blue ht4le of Ferrol, as they say. 'Two Spani,li Ship, are missing, ppnwil to be taken ; six of the French Ships are 1. cry much da maged ; they reckon only 50 men killed end 300 wounded ; though quarters ate ordered for ,1000 men, tlxvy say, they had many sick before the A A'inger was dispatched from Vigo to Fer - rol on the '21'..116( 'July, and it was expeactl they , would ht by the Ferrol STalolron (consi;iting (It 17 Sail tlw wi!.l) 'Proops on 1)0171) .10 the ea7.,irse6l ; titovt: . ..lt they express great apiidt.:niciu that :wimid pay them a be ilJit:; 17,re.....!r0ent arrives."

The answer of tlie Vicuna 1. to have been confined to a 1 tue:•01 profeon of a wish to preserve its nentrality. It is 'lot vu—) pro bable that BONAPAItiIt can, ill' the prisent posture of affairs, place much reliance upon these profes sions of neutralitytt but we think it a patter of con siderable doubt, whether he will think it pru dent to endeavour at present to temporize with Au stria, or whether, he will, by> the immediate com mencement of hostilities, attempt to make a serious impression upon that State before she can receive effeEtual assistance from Russia. On Wednesday .Her Royal Highness the PRIN CESS of WALES, attended by the Hon. Mrs., LYALL, Lady in Waiting, and Mrs. and Miss FITZGERALD, arrived at the Hon. Colonel Hoop's, at Cathering ton, to dinner. On Thursday and Friday Her Royal Highness rode round the country in her ba rouche and four. Saturday, about three o'clock, Her Royal Ilighnqss paid a visit to Com Missioner Sir CHARLES SAXTON, in Portsmouth Dock-yard, where she partook of - an elegant cold collation.— Her Royal Highness then, 'accompanied by. Sir CHARLES SAXTON, Lord A. BEAUCLERC, the Hon. Colonel Hoop, Captain and Mrs. OravEß, Captain and Mrs. MASON, and her attending Ladies, walked round the Dock-yard, with which she appeared very much pleased ; particularly with the steam engine and block manufaCtory, Her Royal High , ness returned to Catherington to dinner. We un derstand her stay-there will be about two months. Admirals MoNritou',, and Sir ISAAC Covrys, and the Hen. Gen. HOPE, our Lieuteuant-Governor, •vaited upon Her Royal Highness at the ,Commis sioner's House. The Royal Standard was hoisted at the Dock-yard, upon her approach. Bathing ma chines are fitting up at Emsworth for the use of Her Royal Highness. The Gateue of Saturday contains His Majestyls Proclamation issued at Weymouth on. Thursday', offering,His M . ,:jesty's free pardon to all Seamen and Marines, whc , , having deserted since the ifith of May, 1803, shall give themselves up on or before the toth of nest 06tob s ;T. - Lieut.-General TARI.vroN, Commitaling Officer of the Severn DistriEt, has issued orders of recall to all Officers and men absent on leave. and to sus pend all furloughs for the purpose of assisting in the getting in of the harvest. The Regulars at Jamaica are thus disposed of : the 18ih regiment at Stoney Hill and Port Maria, the 55th in the Camp, the loth at Spanish Town, the Ist battalion Huth at Maroon Town, Montego Bay, and Valmouth; and the 6th bat. 6Uth at Port Antonin, On Thursday and Friday two divisions of the Ger man Legion marched throngh Oxford on their route from Weymouth to Northampton. Their military appearance attraaed general admiration. On Friday last thii Bth regiment of toot marched from Doncaster for Bridlington. During the absence.of Colonel D'Artcy, who is gone to Ireland to inspeet the fortitimtions carrying on there, the command of the Lines at Cnathant devolves on Captain HANmr..n. The Jamaica Gazette statei, that Lord CAMDEN had, in a letter' to Governor NIJOLNT, informed him that a Fever broke nut in the Toulon Fleet soon after its putting to sea, in consequence of the crowdedts state of the Troops, which had obliged it to return to port and that on its again sailing, it took on board only 4800 men. The same Paper adds, that had the French attacked Jamaica, all the Naval and Military Force of the other Islands had instruaions to hasten to its relief.' Admiral DACRE3 ivis restored to the orders of Admiral COCHRANE the v0 , ,,c1s left on the Jamaica Station by the latter. The Glory, Atlas, Centaur, and Eagle, of the Line, with the Success Frigate, sailed trom Jamaica, under the orders of Captain Da COURCY, as soon ;R; the departure of the Freoch Fleet from the West Indies was known, for the 'Windward Islands. _ A Coon. Martial has on the 6th lilt. been sum moned at Spanish Town, Jarnaica, for the trial of D.

America. A Letter from Antigua, dated the '2 oth of June, states, that when the Combined Fleet appeared of St. John's, the headmost Frigate tacked awl stood for the "toad ; but seeing that ~there wer , not any vessels there, she' made a signal, when tho pursued their coarse under a press or Our Convoy would probably have experienced the same fate had it remained in port, width attended its sailing. Saturday morning Miss the daughter of a widow lady, near Vauxhall, eloped from her mo ther's house at an early hour, with a young Gentle man,' a Lieutenant in the Navy. The Lady, who is 20 years of age, catty on the point of marriage wit h a Gentleman at Stockwell, although her attachment was fixed on the OtTichr, who Was an old suitor, but forbidden the house some time by her mother. A woman' servant heard the chamber window where Mis§ F. slept shut down at an early hunt in morning . , and she repaired to the room, and found' a ladder at the windoW, by which the fugitive had e3caped.
