Tuz Ship Gllticia/4e, from Gibraltar, arrived at the Motherba4, brings intelligence that the French Fleet, to the number of twenty Sail of the Line, were at sea. Similar information' has also been communicated by the captain of a Transport. This account is too vague to enable us to form any judgment upon the subject, as 'neither date nor pla . ce are mentioned; nor can we account for 4 French Fleet of that force being at . sea, unless by supposing that it had escaped, from Brest during the 'short intermission Of theblockade. If so, it might 'be Division of this Fleet which was fallen in with by the Ocean. lf such a Fleet is at sea, however, we have`no.doubt a good account of them will soon be given. • •• Another account st4tes, that several Sail of Trans ports, with Troops from Gibraltar, were captured by the French Fleet, who, after keeping possession of them several days, suffered them to proceed, the French not wishing to' be encumbered with Troops. however, no date nor place is mentioned. The Viaory arrived oWSheerness on Sunday, and went up as far as Long Reach, near Chatham. The Body of Lord NELSON was expated to arrive at Greenwich this morning. The Court Martial on Sir R. CALDER commenced yesterday ; the Case on the part of the Prosecution was closed, "and Sir R. CALDER proceeds on his Defence this day. When the Trial is concluded our Readers-may depend on an accurate report of it be ing inserted in THE SUN. We yesterday stopped the Press to communicate a Letter received from Hull , which stated some new circumstances respeaing the operations of the Armies, although the arrival of the Vessel mentioned is the same we announced on Thursday. The following is the Letter : " The Triton, of this Port, Capt. HUDSON, from Hamburgh, arrived here on Tuesday afternoon.— 'Capt. HUDSON - left ljambuth in the forenoon , of Friday, passed Cuxhaven about four o'clock on:Sa turday, 'and maile the:l:lest of his way homeward.', " Net half an hour before Capt.TionSots: left Ham burgh; a Gentleman came into Lmatfures Coffee house, who had travelled express from Ohnutz by warof lie appeared greatly, fatigued, and his legs were much swelled with travelling.. lie said that he left Olfnutz on the fish inst. at which time the Russians and. Austrians Were pursuing the French in all direetions, and had driven theni across the Danube, withgreat slaughter. " :Capt. HubsoN understood that the Archduke CuitatAts bad joined the other Armies. This Gen. tlethan affirmed positively that the KING of PRossiA had joined thc Allies : but declined entering into any . further, conversation than what we have above stated." No intelligence whatever reached Town this morning from the Continent, but as the wind has come round to the Northward, we hope very soon to have it in our poWrer to lay before our. Readers a confirmation of the very gratifying intelligence received last week of the Victory obtained by the Allied ArrnY. We do not think it necessary to enter into any further contest with those persons who still pretend to entertain doubts of that - fad, because we know their invincible repugnance to give credit to any news that is favourable .to their Country. We have already 'stated the grounds tipbn which our firm belief of the defeat of the Fryich Army is founded—they appear to us. conclusive, except to those who arc pre-determined not to be convinced.

Cows, DEC. 23.—Arrived at the- Motherbank the Ship Guadaloupe, Captain JAMES WATTs, from Gibraltar, who informed one of our Pilots that the French Fleet, to the number of Twenty Sail of the Line, were at Sea; which intelligence was further corroborated by the Captain of a Transport,_ who also g4ve the Pilot the same infortnation. nissed through for Spithead a French Sloop laden with cyder, which had been captured, together with several more Sail, by one of our Frigates, which is put into Guernsey to refit, having sustained considerable damage by the fire from the gnemy's Batteries, having followed them too close in. OOTHER LETTER. Arrived the Ship Guadaloupe, Captain JANths WATTS, from Gibraltar;, also several sail of Trallg ports, with Troops, from Gibraltar, the whole of which' were captured by a Fleet of French Men of War, of 20 Sail of the Line besides Frigates ; and after being kept h possession several days, were re leased and suffered to proceed, the French not wih ing to be encumbered with the Troops. Po Ts m OUT H, Dic. 23.--This morning the signal for a Court Martial was hoisted on board the Prjn'e of li/ales, - -to inquire into the condu& and proceed ing's of Vice-Admiral Sir ROBERT CALDER, wild Majesty's-Squadron under his command, on the I),d day of July last ; and also his subsequent coudua and proceedings until he finally lost sight Qf the Enemy's Shipi, and for not having done leis utmost to renew the:engagement, and to take or destroy every Ship of the Eneiny, which it was hii duty to engage. The Court was composed of the fvllowipgOßict=r; PRESIDENT. Vice-Admiral GEORGE NIONTAGUE.

Captain ROSERT DUDLEY OLIVF.R, Captain JAMES ATHELWOOD, The Hon. Captain THOMAS 13L ADEN CAP EL, Captain JAmzs BissErr, Captain JOHN IRWIN, Captain JOHN SEATER, Captain JONN LARNIOUR, It was understood that 'Mr. ilIcxxELL, the Soli eiter .of the Admiralty, meant to have addressed the Court previous to the examination of the witnesses, fur the prosecuti on; b ut the C ourt, it was presumed,' thought it unnecessary. He then proceeded to call the witnesses for the prosecution, having previously verified the log-books of several Ships belonging to. the British Meet. The Witnesses. examined were Admiral CIIARLRS STIRLING ; HENRY CRADDOCK, Master of the Glory; Cape. PEOR6E.MARTIN, Of the Rai:flair ; Captain. DURItAit, and` Captain HENRY INN. • The evidence on the part of the Prosecution was materially shortened by Admiral CALDER'S admitting the allegation chiefly relied on by the Solicitor of the Admiralty. At four o'clock the examination ofthePioseentor's witnesses entirely finished, and Admiral - CALDER was desired to proceed with his defence to-morrow. The Court strictly ordered that no part of the evi dence shotild be made public till the trial was con cluded. At first r an - order was, made for all persons who took minutes to deliver them up to the Captain of the , Princey andreceive them again next day, but the extreme inconvenience of this being suggested, they relied upon a solemn assurance that they should not be divulged to any Ono., The Court was uncommonly crowded during the whole of the morning. Sailed the Hardy . Guii-brig, .Lieut. READ, on a eruize; and the Willhelmina, ,HALLIER, for Ton- 1 ningen. Should the wind prove favourable to-morrow morning, the several Convoys colleaca here aro ex, peCted to sail.

When the lati• tude isyonsidered(Belleisle),the lateness of the season warlike preparations in the West Indies, and the known •charatler of the French' to deceive, it will . appear that this is the Rochefort Squadron on their return from .Teneriffe. There being seven Sail of the Line and four Frigates, will be accounted for, by suPlioing that the Orient, of 80. guns, and three Frigates, which are known to have sailed from one of the French Forts to join them, have offeated that intent.
