WEDNIISDAY, JULY 14, 1805, WE are still unable to communicate arty intelli gence to our Readers respecting the Combined Fleet. It is, however, probable, that Achniipl CORNWALLIS has receht:d some infortnation respe&ing them, for it appears that he strftched to the South-west, with fwenty Sail of the Line, as far as Cape Finisterre.; but not filling in with any of the Enemy's Ships; he retnrned to his station off Brest. THE, Letters from Admiral VILLENEuvr. and Lieutenant CLANT have either been so Mutilated by the French Government, or they were Jlesigned ly sOrittenin 'se obscure a manner, that, it is almoit impossible to aSeertain the Meaning of the - Writers'. At the commencement of his Letter, Lieutenant CtANF,T states, that the , French Fleet, reinfOrced by tWoShips of the Line' and a Frigate, entered Martinieo, &c. It might he inferred from this Statement,. that the two Ships which sailed from llochefOrt joined the Fleet, and if this : were true, tt,on it would make the whole of the Combined. Fleet:22 Sail of the Line, and account for the 16 that arrived it Martinico with' ViLLENEUVi, and for' the six that were detached under Admiral GRA' VINA. But Admiral :Vit.Li:kuvu does, 'not men tion in his Letter that he was joined by any Ships On his pasgage; - ap'd we . apprehend That lieutenant CE,ANET must allude, to the two Spauish Line-of- Battle Ships and the Frigate.that remained with the Feench Fleet After Admiral Cs-RAVI/4.A had left it. In point of fast, Government have received ac counts,announeing the arrival of the twuShips from Rochefort on the 29th of May at Mareinico, which %vas subsequent to the date'of the FEench Dispatches that have. been published, although there is little doubt that the French Uovernment have later =- comas, they have not thought it prudent to divulge. With respea to the detached *Spanish Squa dr,Jnt'it seems evident that that . was not destin ed, to attack Trinidad in the first instance, or it mast have reached that Island before Lord- NLL- , so'N. It is not'itnprobable that they went to South America to land the Spanish Tri)op3, particularly the dismounted Cavalry, which certainly would be of yery little use in an attack upon any of the Islands We ;Are the more inclined to adopt this opipion, be cause we some time . ago received accounts of partial Lisurrealons h/ving broken out in the Spanish Pos.-, sessions iii S(..utli America. - We unchrstand that Government have received intelligence that orders have been received by M No vast taz orF, fiom St. Petersburgh, not-to proceed bis mission to BONAPAVI''F,. The EstrAnon of liusslA must be,convinced that it is in vain to hope to check BONAPAII,TII in hi' career of If/Amp:trim and aggression by means of. negotiation— It - is ab Surd, -to talk to' lihn of the principles of justice, and of the rights of indepencknt pations he ac- . )ttnowledge9 risJ principles but those which suit his own purpose —,no I,:tw lint 'that of farce. `T. li re. a ntrt,y strong reason to hope til4t tin.

It is indeed so mndently calculated to Aitiz grace the Papal Father in the-generalppinion of mar kin& that people will be preparedfor the removal of the Ecclesiastical Oovernment from Rome, and the , publication' of this mean and despicable instrument seems intended to excite such contempt in the world towards 'the POPE, that nobody will care where his Government may be permitted to exist, or to what state- of degeneracy and insignificance it nmy be reduced ! ! ! Prince. WILLIAM of GLOUCESTER was Sent for express from Liverpool, in consequence of the in disposition of his Royal Father. The reviews of the. Lancaster ; Preston, and Belton Volunteers, .were' put off on that account. Lord BoRIiJGDONT had yesterday a We& dinner party, at his house in Gloucester-place. Lord CASTLERE/tOR gave a grand dinner yester day; .at his house in St. James's-squdre, to Hii; Royal Highness the Duke of York. Earl,s,--Westritorland and Chatham. Lordi—Mukrave, Hawkesbury, and Harrowby. Generals -Brownrigg; Calvert, and Phipps. Colonel Gordon. Messrs. Greenwood and Cooke, . On Monday morning 260 French 'Prisoners were landed on the floating bridge from - the Sandwich Prison Ship, at Chatham, and 16Q of the Guards were transported across the opening of the bridge, to escort them (with a troop of horse) to Norman Cross.. The facility with which the whole duty was performed is deserving' Of notice. The Guards were not More than five minutes crossing the river, drawn up and loaded, and the whole set off on their march in less than half an hour. . • "Vile Second Statlbrdshire, which 'has been quar tered in Hull about three months, has received or. ders to hold itself in readiness. Should it be corn thanded thence, it will probably be for the purpose of being incorporated with the King's own Stafford. The Royal Lancashire is to succeed the Second Staf fordshire in Frull. Monday a Detachment of the Royal-Staff Corps, from Chatham, arrived at. Maidstone, and 'yesterday morning took their route for Rye. . The 4th Re'giment of Foot .have encamped on &achy Head.. The garrison of Ipswich at present consists of three Brigades, respeetively commanded by General Officers, The Scotch Greys, the 7th and 2l st Light Dragoons, under the Command of Lord PAGET. The East Middlesex,West Suffolk, and 'Hertford Militia, in the Upper Barracks, under the command of Lord CHARLES Ft'rznoy. The 'Berkshire in Stoke Bar= raokS, .and the Shropshire in the town, under the command of Major-General 110131 NSON; making to gether, with a- strong detachment of Horse Artillery, a force of 10,600 men. The Forts and Batteries among the Flats of Essex have been materially strengthened and repaired ; and, at: the suggestion of some Engineer and Artillery Officer's, several additional ones are to be immediate. ly ereted. On Monday last the Earl of DARTMOUTH, in the name of His MAJESTY, laid the first mine of Lhe Free Church intended to be ereaed in Birmingham. His Lordship, as the representative of the KING, Was attended by all the Nobility, Gentry, and Clergy of the surrounding country. The stone measures five feet 'wide, and three deep, weighing about three tons twelve cwt. Yesterday a Court.of Aldermen was.summoned to meet at Guildhall, but A fficient number of Alder men not attending to constitute a Court, the LORD niYoa ordered the price of Bread to be faised. one Assize and a half; or Ad. in the Peck, Loaf, to com mence ta-morrow—the price of the Qartern•Loaf wheaten will then be 151 d. and househokl 134 d. It appears that the Embargo on Swedish Ships in the French Ports has been talien off within these few days. A Swedish vessel, which had been de tained in France eleven months, arrived on Monday in the . Downs. Orders were received at Plymouth, on Saturday last, for 800 Spanish Prisoners 'to be embarked, as soon as Cartel Transports can be procured, for Co runn4 to be exchanged. Six sail of Vessels fro , b the Orkneys,' for the Bal tic, which had separated froth their convoy, were taken about the t otb instant, off the Sca\v, by a French Schooner Privateer: It appears that in the late dolion the Flotilla from Boulogne attacked our Ships on purpose to facilitate the passage of their Dunkirk Division. The Praams kept up a well-direaed fire, and are represented as being mora formidable than we were led to'believe ; a great deal of the advantage of their force consistsi however, in their being able, by the length of their grins, to throw slot further than our Gun-brigs. This advantage would . be in a great measure lost if they would come out into deep water, when our Ships coolq 4 , et close to them, as most of our Brigs and Sloops of War have only short guns, which, though heavy metal, cannot throw shot a long way. Th e number of the VesseN which WU priiceeding , to join the main force at Bonlogne, when they were attack ed by Our Cruizers, was nearly`ninety; consisting of two Di‘ it;ions : the, first, of three large 'Praams, each mounting tWelve ,3fi-pounders, and sio Brigs and Schooneri, carrying si). long 26-pounders; and the second composed of between sixty and severity Sail, chiefly Brigs and Schuyt The number of Vessels which came out 4,0 their a'szlistance is estimated at up wards of one hundred. Mr.. Fox has received such praise in the French rapers ah, conteive, can afford him little grati fication as m Englishman.. To be praised by the Eneinis of 'his country for the opinions he incul- . cated, and the: prediaions he held forth, is' rather to be . considqkd as a degradation than an honour, since it is reasonable to.conclude that the - opinions and prediaions alluded ,to were highly acceptable to those .Enemies.—Mr. PrrT is exenipted from . . all' such mortifying and debasing ..homage, ,He is bit terly censured by the Writers employed in sup porting the French Government, who even descend, to the pitiful rancour` of Ibusing the leanness of his person. Hence ,x ) e may infer, that, in the opinion of our Enemies,' Mr. Pa'r is to be considered as the staunch fiiehd of his country, who will ;never , utter. setniments that a ill tend to degiO4e her mea sure s, or tiirnish topics of exultation and abuse to, .
