No further intelligence has reached this Country froin llear-Admied„CA even, and we 'think it pro bable that a day or two reay - 'elapse before any ac coures are receiv2d. 'inc Gaz r ette Ex.traardinary, -,eras published last night, containing Sir Ro- BL'iT CALDEIt'S Letter,' confirms in every particn lar the details' which we yesterday , laid before our Iteaders. The gallant Admiral was, no doubt, t io much occupied in making the necessary pre parations for renewing the Engageinent, to haVe time to give a minute account of all the circumstances of the aecion, but the infarmation communicated by Lieut. cnoosou fully supplies the defieiencies of the Admiral's Letter. Itappears that the Spanish. Ships formed the Van of the Enemy's Fleet, and for same time bore the brunt of, the A6lion.— if, we may judge of the loss sustained by the Enemy by the number of killed acid wounded on bbard the Spanish Ships, which were cap tured, the slaughter must have been dreadful, — The number of killed and wounded on 'board the firma alone amounts to 280, which is con aiderahly, more than the loss sustained by the whole British -Fleet:—lt has been erroneously stated in „re of the Public Papers, that the two Fleets.were, on the mereing ,after the . action, thirty miles apart, ;tad that they, were completely. out, of - sight of each. other. The fa& is, , they were not -aboVe twelve miles distant, and, as we stated yesterday, the British Fleet was between them and . the shore, and had'the edvantage of the wind. There does not ap pear to he any reason whatever to doubt but that Sir , noenrer .CAepta would be • able: to bring them 'to :action in a few hours after the Dispatches were sent, a d the state in which the two . FleetsWere left, afferds, the most rationaground to hope that the result will ba hi ply favour :Able to the British Arths.-- e ßut: it i 3 not only the Fleetunder Sir 11. CaLbEn . that the Enemy have to dread—they are in a 'manner' surrounded by , British Flects.—Such has been the exertions of the Alm:ralty, and so jndiciously have they .disposed of our Force, that there is not a Port on the Coast of France and ,Spaie- in which the Combined Fleet could take refuge, which is not blockaded by a powerful British Squadron. If the French should Make for Lisbon, it will be irnaossibleXor them to get in unless the wind should have changed in their favour; but, if' not; it is highly probable, that every one of them will fall into the had' t of Admiral Co LONGWOOD' or Lard NELSOT,I. The Spanish Qtricers speak . in terms of. the apeerest condemnation of the' French, and say that they have been roadea sacrifice. The Spaniards are, in a very healthy condition, but the. French are in a , sickly state, and 'near .a hundred and forty of them in each Ship are much . aftlided with the dxsentery. Five of the Combined Fleet were dis masted, and the ethers were Very roughly handled by our gallant. Tar. .7ca less than six of the Enemy's Ships attacked the Tl'indsor castle at once, supposingit -to Save been the'Flag-Ship of Lord NELSON. . We have every reason to hope and believe, .that the tlet accounts will completely satisfy all the ex p Lions whith the Public may have formed re sp„:6ling the 'probable issue of the renewed ACtion. A.'''Letter from Plymouth, dated five o'clock Tues, eay afternoon) states` that 'information had been - ob, ltined from the Officers of the Winchor Castle, that NA Len that Slnp left the Fleet the Enemy were hull, ( own, stf:eringr, for Ferrol. lheatne p.tt4sr states; that there is ;to truth in the reperted C6ptUre of the homeward-bOUnd Anti- f;eet.'

It is evident that Peace was sincerely tlei're.d by the British (1)- vernment, and that it 'adopted a' better plan' for promoting that objet than if we had at once given such an answer to the late . overtures from France as might have disposed her to. Think that we were ,ready to open an immediate Negotia tion. If we had so done; Box.trArerr might ha've thought ,that we were as little able to nrgotiate single-handed against France, as he proudly declared that, We were incapable of contending against her 4in/21e-handed. But by employing the friendly a ' fprts ofso powerful a State as and giving the French Ruler an opportunity of knowing that the Russian Emperor sympathized in all our sentiments' and principles, and was disposed to co-operate in sup i . - porting measures calculated to further the important objeas in vidw, BONAPARTE must of course have had less reason to rely on-the effeas of any menace, gni . flee, and crooked-policy, with which he might other wise have been inclined to perplex and retard the Negotiation.' We have therefore done all that cciuld be required of us to manifest our sincere desire op Peace, by adopting the most dignified and politic system that could be devised for restoring ani ef feacally securing its blessings. No other plan could have been carried into execution with an equal proba bility ofsuccess, and the whole of the failure must be imputed entirely to the ambition and aggressions of the French Ruler—aggressions cornmitted at the very moment when he professed to be ready to treat for Peace, as if he intended, by this exposure of his insincerity, and by his daring encroachmentl, to make a mockery of all other Powers who were likely to have taken any part in the Negotiation. The conduct of Russia is intitled to therespeet and admiration of all Europe, as well fur the important objet which it had in view, as for the magnanimity with which it overcame every obstacle arising from becoming pride and laudable feelings of resent ment that might have rendered it unwilling to subje& itself to fresh •insults by entering • into new Treaties with the arrogant Ru l er of France.-- It is now impossible for that Ruler tCip ke2p on the mask ; he has fully developed al his ambiti, n and all his craft, and his unhappy subjeas, as well as all the world beside, mult see' that he merely' dissembles when he talks of Peace, and that the gratification of his • inorlinate ambition iS his' sole pri le'pk of aEtiOn:' We sloull hlpe that the Court of Berlin must" at , last open its eye 3, 4111 spa longer be. deceived by the,subtkty or awed by the force of the Fret - ch Usurper, since it is evident that no tie's can 'bind him; and that the only measure of his' conduit' is, the , extent of his power, and indeed it strongly reported that though Baron Novoswr zorF had presented the spirited Memorial, and Ica preparing to leave Berlin, he has been induced to delay his departure at the earnest_solicitation of the French Minister at that placer seconded by the in tercession of the Peussian Minister, till the Emperor of Bussi.t is once more consulted as to thie measures which shall be pUrsued in the prevent 'critical posture of affairs. , , Admiral Sir CITA rttzs c'OTTON is arrived in town: from off Ushint, and. has had. several ititrviews with the &Awl of AdMiralty, Dispatches were 'received at the Admiralty ye;ter day from Lord KEIT s, respeaing tl,e moveincnt of the Enemy's craft from Ostend to Dauldrk. .

Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, a Letter from Vice-Admiral Sir Robert Calder, giving an account of his success against the CJinbil.ed Squadron of France and Spain. have the Honour to be, &c. W; CORNWALLIS. Sin, Prince of Wales, July 3, 1805. Yesterday at noon, lat. 43 deg. 30 min. N. long. 11 deg. 17 min. W. I was favoured with a view of the Combined Squadrons of France and Spain, consisting of twenty Sail of the Line, also three large Ships, armed en flute, of about 50 guns each, with five Frigates, and three Brigs; the Force under my dire&ion at this time consisting of fifteen Sail of the Line, two Frigates, a Cutter, and Lugger, I immediately stood towards the Enemy with the Squadron, making the needful signals foi battle in the closest order ; and, on closing with them, I made the signal for attacking their centre. When I had reached their rear, I tacked the Squadron in succession ; this brought us close up under their lee, and when our headmost Ships reached their centre the Enemy were tacking in succession ; this obliged me to make again the same manoeuvre, by which I brought on an a&ion which lasted upwards of four hours, when I found it necessary to bring to the Squadron to cover the two Captured Ships, whose names are in the margin.* I have to ob serve, the Enemy had every advantage of wind and weather during the whole day. The weather had been y, at times, a great part of the ,mgrning and very soon after we had brought them to Aebon, the fog was so very thick at intervals, that we could, with great difficulty, see the Ship a-head or a-stern of us; this rendered it impossible to take the ad vantages of the Enemy by signals I could have wished-to have done; had the weather been more favoUable, ram led to believe the 'viaery would have been more complete. I haVe very great pleasure in saying, every Ship was condttaed in the most, masterly style; and beg leave here pUbliely to return every Captain, Officer and Man whom I had the Honour to com mand On that day, my most grateful thanks, tor their censpicuously gallant and Very judicious good condu&. The Hon. Capt. Gardner, of the Hero, led the Van Squadron in a most masterly and officer-like manner, to Avhom I feel myself particularly indebt ed ; as alio to Capt. Coming, for his assistance dur- ing the Aecion. Inclosed' is' 'a list of the killed and wounded on board the different Ships. If I may judge from the great slaughter on board tho Captured Ships, the Enemy Inuit have suffered greatly. They are now in sight to windward ; and when I have secured the Capthred Ships, and put the Squadron to rights, I shall endeavour to avail myself of any opportunity that thay offer to give you some, further account of these Combined Squadrons.
