TWALVt O'cLoCK. . . (31 THE SU N. 60LEM QUIS Drei, FAL.Stifit AUX:MAT LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1805. Ws yesterday laid before our Readers a Letter ,from Falmouth, stating that the Calcutta, with her Convoy, had fallen in with a French Squadron, and that the Calcutta, and probably the whole of the Convoy, had been captured. We are this day en abled to lay befure our Readers sonie further parti culars of this affair, and it is with great pleasure we add, .that there is every reason to believe that our loss is not so great as we were led to suppose flora the pemsal of the Falmouth Letter. The only East Indiaman under the Convoy of the Calcutta was the &bit —This Vessel was seen by the Haddock Schooner, Lieut. FOLEY, after the ACtion, and the Lieutenant direeted the Captain to steer for Ushant, where he would fall in with Admiral CORNWALLIS'S Fleet : there is, therefore, strong ground to hope that she might escape. The other Ships of the Convoy were Whalers, one of which, the African, has' arrived safely in Port : it. Is pro,. belle, therefore, that the rest, or at least Aome of them, might escape. Soon after the ajtion the wind changed to the East, and as Admiral CORNWALLIS received very early, intelligence of the position in which they were left, we trust the Enemy will not be able to get into port with their prizes. We feel great pleasure in paying our trihute of ap plause to the gallaOtry displayed by Capt. WOODRIVP, of the Calcutta, upon this occasion. He made. a no ble sacrifice fbr the safety of the Convoy entrusted to his charge, having engaged a-very superior force of the Enemy from four o'clock in the afternoon till half past ten at night. The following Bulletin was sent this morning from the Admiralty to Lloyd's : ADMIRALTY OFFICE, OCT. 4, 'Sec. Extra& from the ,Log-book of His Majesty's Schooner Haddock, Lieut. Fount - , lat. 49. 8. long. 9. wind variable, E. N. E. Friday, Sept. 27, Half-past two, heard 'several guns fired in the N. W. ; at three observed -His Majesty's Ship Calcutta haul out of the C +nvoy ; at half-past three a heavy cannonading com nenced between the Calcutta. and . a very large Ship; ob.iervgd another Ship coming up firing her bow chasers, 'and two 'more Snips following her ; at half past four observ ed the large Ship to luul fro 'n the Calcutta, and heave to ; at dark spoke the Indic, East Indianan, who informed us that the Ship that engaged the Calcutta was a large French Frigate, and the Ships in chace of her then were Line-of-battle Ships ; at half-past nine, heard a very heavy cannonading in the S.W. sujposed to be between the Ca,kutta and the Enemy ;at half-past ten, firing ceased ;at day light, four Sail in sight;' noon, fresh breezes and cloudy; three 'strange Sail in sight." The Commander of the Haddock states, that it is his opinion, that the Lulus and the greater part of the Calcutta's Convoy may have escaped by steering toixards Ushant. He does not knoW the nacres of the Ships which composed the Convoy, except ing the Indus, which was the most valuable, Tins morning we received Jamaica Papers to the 3d of August. They contain nothing of particular importance. We are obliged by want of room to postpone any Extraets from them till to-morrow. All the Papers of this morning contain a very de tailed account of an attempt made by Sir SIDNEY SMITH to destroy the Enemy's. Flotilla at Boulogne, and they are very minute in describing the explo sion of the carcasses, &c. What can have given rise to this story, we are at a loss to canje&ure we can, however, take upon ourselves to say, that it is without foundation, and that Sir SIDNEY SMITH i 6 in town. • Last night we received Paris Papers to the 28th ult. and Dutch Journals to the cd inst. They contain an Exposé of the comparative con duet of France and Austria since the Peace of Luneville, which may be considered, in fael,_ as a Declaration of War against the latter Power. — ills Document is drawn up with the usual art of TALLaTtlisto, and displays no mean pro ficiency in sophistry. It enumerates a few petty encroachments of territory, stated to have been made by Austria, and employs a great number of words to express the surprize of BONA,PARTE at the warlike preparations of that Power; but totally forgets to tike the slightest notice of the ag gressions committed by France, in the very bosom of profound Peace—of the arrest of the Duc D'Err outEN on neutral territory, and his subsequent mur der---of the tyranny exercised over Holland and Switzerland--of the annexation of Genoa, or of the assumption' of the" Crown of Italy. The usual non sense is repeated, of Austria being the instrument of England, ,and the ACGUStOmed threats of the ven geance of lioNArtatut are' fultuinafs d against ka. The.hopes of Elklan 1 will, it is said, be vain, and • fwd. are told that the day is not far distant when the Rights of Nations ,shall le avenged."--We hope it is not. BONAPARTE attended a meeting of the Senate on the c3d alt. when he addressed that Body in a i short speech, in which the tone of the Exposé is kept up, and England is loaded with all the odium of the War. He announced, at the same time, his intention of quitting the Capital to head the Army, which inten tion he carried into etre& on the next day, when he left Paris to take the command of the Army as sembling on the Rhine. We have not room to enter into any further de tailedexaMination of the important documents which we thii day present to - our Readers, and can only add a few particulars. , A Decree, has been issued by the French .\. Go vernment for raising eighty thousand Conscripts foe the ensuing year. The Russian Army approaches Germany with the utmost expedition . ; the Troops halt only one day out of seven. The Russian Troops put on the War Establishment amount to three hundred thousand men. The EMPEROR of 'GERMANY was . expe6tecl to go to the Tyrol in the last week of September, from whence he would return to Hungary to open the Diet. The Archduke CIIARLEs left Vienna on the 17th ult. for Venice, from whence he was to proceed to Padua, the head-quarters of the Austrian Army in Italy. The Archduke FERDINAND was gone to the Army in Bavaria. Two columns of Austrians,esti mated at 36,000 men, had already entered Swabia, and were to be speedily followed by the Main Army. In Italy the Austrian Troops from Venice were ad vancing' in great force to the Adige, with a great train of battering artillery. The French were also Advancing to the other side of that River. The . - French Marshal , MAssENA had arrived at Verona previous to the 13th ult. On the t sth ult. a heavy ,'cannonade was heard at Augsburgh from the *side of the Tyrol and Switzerland, but no` particulars were then known. Tier Article in this Paper of yesterday respecting .a joint Note . stated to have been presented to the KING of PauSSIA from the Imperial Courts, and which - is said to have led the Prussian Monarch, ac 7 cording to the desire of :Dußoc, to give orders for military preparations, has induced' an Opposition Paper to insinuate, that we inserted. it under the irrimediate and avowed auspices ofthe TreaSUrY" It often suits the pUrposes of that Paper. to represent what appears in THE Sow' as Official, that it may contrive an opportunity for venting its spleen against Government. We think it, hoWever, necessary to observe, that we. did . .not give. the article alluded to from authority, but from one of on:• foreign channels of continental information, without pledging our selves for its truth. Thii morning ' at five o'clock, their MAJESTIES and the PRINCESSES will leave Weymouth for Kew, where they are expeeled to arrive between eight and nine o'clock this evening. Some of the Pit INC:EWA will stop at Andover to sleep, and will pursue their journey to Kew to-morrow. His Royal Highness the Prince of WALES, it is cxpetted, will honour the second Newmarket Meet ing with his presence, The Meeting will commence on the i.sth instant. • His Royal Highness the Duke of CLARENCE 18 expealed at Busby Park on Tueulay se'unight, from Brighton.

There is to be a general mus ter in Gray's Inn Gardens on Wednesday next, at eleven o'clock. THE THEArati.---The Comedy of The Soldier's Daughter had a numerous audience last night at Drury-Lane Theatre, and Mrs. JORDAN,. who is its great prop, excited much applause in The Widow Cheerly. Mr. and Mrs. StunoNs appeared for the first time in Mr. and, Mrs. Matfort, to which they imparted all that interest which may naturally be suppmed to arise from the incidental blending of fiCtion and reality in their private relation. The Farce was Of Age To-morrow, in which Miss DE CAMP, who has been some time indi s p ose d, made her first appearance for the season, and was received with all the warmth due to a deserving actress, The, Prologue was vehemently demanded, but on. BAN NISTER'S pleading that he had not spoken it for some years, and remembered nothing of it, the storm soon subsided. NEWMARKPT Fins i‘ OCTOBER MEETING, dos. THURSDAY, OCT. 3.

It appears that the killed, and . wounded.on bo.ird the Combined Fleets, iii ttio .46tion with Sir RC ! BERT CALDER, amounted to 2080.
