THE hopes oftic Nation are at length likely to prseverance, and intrepidity. ,An ACTION HAS TAKEN PLACE between the BRITISII FLEET utv.6- di(' Commal4 of VIr"E-ADMIRAL SIR ,CALDER and the COMBINED FLEETS FRANCE and SPAIN. This morning Lieutenant NicitoY-soN ? who wands the. Frisk Cutter ? arrived at the Admiralty Dispatches from Admiral CORNW MAPS, ill- closing a Letter from Vice-Admiral CALDER, COD- tabling the gratifying intelligence.- 1 -4 appears that the' gallant Admiral, whose Fleet had been, by the gneommon exertions of the Admiralty, reinforced to 15 Sail of the Line, having received information of tho expefted return of the Enemy to. Europe, vas cruizing to the Westward of Cape i'illisterre, ii, the Lope of intercepting them. On the 20 of July he had the, good fortune to fall•in with the Porhhined Fleet, consisting of 20 Sail of the Line, several Frigates atO Corvettes. Notwithstanding the apparent dis. puify of force, the gallant Admiral, with that in trepidity which has always diitinguished tho British niVy, immediately bore down upon, the Enemy, and brought them to a&ion; The Engtetnent lasted for four hours, and was foaght on both sides with great spirit; at length two Spaoiji Ships Of the Line, viz'. the Swz Raphael, a4d the Firm" struck their colr:itrs, and were taken pos'session of. The AC icon wa3 then disconcirmed, bptii felect.s having . snfforpd consi- del-ably in their masts :Ind rigging ; but it was Sir IOMMT CALDER'S intention, as soon its hi SIAS wire refitted,t9relew the A.Etiep ; arid we are happy to add, that there vas every probability of o')Liining a most decisive and glorious virEt,)ry.

Enemy were; th e ir Shm crippled, fitly leagues from any Port, the wind against tbetu, and a .ritish Fleet between them and the shore, it is iq na means Faisible that the British Admiral might recejye a re- infopylnent time enough to. complete the destruc- tion or the Enemy. V,re cannot close this article without paying our feeble tribute of praise to Lord NELSON ) tO whose uncotrunon viilance, skill, and judgment, the Na- tion is greatly indebted on this occasion. Although he was not fortunate enough to oyettake the flying Enemy, yet it was his NAME that drove them in disgrace from the West Indies ; it is to his skill and judgnient, in ascertaining exaEtly the course which the Enemy, had taken, and his prudence in sending off Dispatches home, and to the diarent Commanders on the Coasts of both France and Spain, that this fortunate ren contre may be attributed, and that our Fleets have been so reinforced as to enable thorn successfully to cope with the Enemy. A Gazette Extraarclinary will be published to- night, containing Sir ROAERT CALI:Ines Letter. The following is the Official Bulletin published by. the Admiralty on this occasion. When it was read at Lloyd's, the Gentlemen present gave three " Lieutenant NICHOLS9IJ, commanding the Aisk Cutter, arrived at the Atimiralty thi, morning with Dispatches from Admiral'Coß NWALLIS, enclosing a Letter from Vice-Admiral Sir Homy'.

It .was evidently their : wish to enter into a Negotiation for the restoration of Peace ; provided .136NAPARTH would give them a proof that he was influenced by similar motives, by desisting-front his' system of en crOachment and usurpation. Tlits;:' however, lie would. riot. do : at the very 'rnorrient that he . wsB professing his wish for Peace to kngland ,and 140.- 6in, he was planning new aggressions and new in salts:; and his only. obit& for entet:ing into a Nego „ . . tiation was , if possible, to crate ciiiinnign among the COslesced Potvers, and to gain time for the execu tion of his projeas. In the iatterpart of his obje(he 'has unfortunately but too "Well succeeded ;'.the sea son is now 'too tar idvaticed fbr the tbices of Russia to alit with any great eifea. The decisive language, ho vever, in which tile Note. of *.n,. N9VOSILTZOVE is couched, spews that, the oibinet of. St., Peters burgh is at convinced 'Of the:necessity of adopting the most energetic means of resisting the almost daily aggressions of the. 'Usurper, and of putting a stop to a system which in a short time would scarcely leave .one indcpendeLt State in'Eu. 1 rope: We uncieritand ac;ounts have been received, stating that flus,iia cif;elared War against France: This we are unallie at preserl; . 0, confirm, bl# we t'iink it ,IJec4.l44ry cc?napptwice of the lan- . gulge pc 04 .1.7 4, .40yOoLTZQ1T to the Prussian Minister, addition - to the informatio a n conreycd by the • Dutch, Papers, ‘ as above stated, we have received private accounts from Holland, all .of which show that appreherizion and diieontent prevail over the Country, and that there is nothing for which the people are so_auxious as to be delivered from the French yoke. The Dutch Soldiers- iu particular have I on many occasions manifested a very refraetory spi `tit, in consevence of which several additional Corps of French Troops,have been ordered to much into Ifolland ; - and it is strongly rumoured that two Regiments of Batavian Cavalry, and four of Infan try, will be - disbanded, for the double purpose of lessening the expences of the Dutch Go vernment, and of getting rid of the most dis contented of the Zatavian Troops. It also con fidently said, that another Military Capitulation, as it is called, is likely to take place between the Grand Pensioner and the Emperor of the French ; but this latter arrangement, it is understood, is only to be finally concluded in case of a COutin ental War. In the mean time it is expected that BONA PARTE, on account of this critical state of things in, Holland, will visit that Country, in order to revise the Bata- Wan commonwealth, and to review the - Gallo-Ba tnvian Army under the CoMmand of General MAR bum, before the Expedition •against Great Britain is decisively undertaken. Since Admiral Da WINTER ha: 'taken the com mand in the Texel the greatest aetivity has prevailed. The Troops are daily embarked and disembarked, and the crews exercised with the utmost severity. The latter, however, are very far from being com plete, and they, as well as the Batavian soldiers, take every opportunity of deserting. The Russiah Am bassador, Count • STACKELBERG, and the Swedish Ambassador, Count LOWENIIJELM, still reside at the Hague ; but they have made every preparation to leave Holland at a moment's warning. Neither of them,.it appears, has, for the last nine months, paid or received any visits from BONAPARTE'S Minister SEMONVILLE. According to report, Sou AIM . ELPENNINCK bas recently been honoured with another reprimand, un der the French Emperor's own hand, chiefly because every feeling as a Dutchman has not been entirely subdued by a devotion to the interest. and ambition of the Usurper. Mr. BowDoiNr, the American Ambacsadot front the United States to Spain, arrived on Tuesday at Blake's Hotel, Jermyn-street, from America. His Excellency intends residing in this Country two or three mouths, His Royal Highness the Commander in Chief is expe6ted to visit Canterbury, on his tour through the Southern Distriet; about the 18th or igth of the ensuing month of August. His Royal Highness goes to lVeyrnouth previous to setting out on his' Ali litary Tour. The Dnehess of ST. ALBA N's rout yesterday even ing, inStratford-place, was attended by ail the.reL. • twining persons ofdistinction and 'fashion in town : the suit of apartments on the drawing-room floor were fitted up on the occasion,in a very elegant and tasteful manner : numerous pots of odoriferous flow ers were 'introduced, with bell lights, mirror.;, &c. About 40 of the party stopped to supper, which was prepared in the front parlour on .the ground. floor ; it consisted of every delicacy ,of the season the desert and wines were of the richest description. The late Major louN PERIM7 was formerly a Captain in the tgth Regiment of root, and third son of the late Sir RICIIIARD PErt*YK, Knt. One of the Barons of the Court of Exchequer. On Saturday General Sir DAvln BAUM, attended by his . Aids-de-Camp, Captains .TUCKEK atid,,,GOß• DON, set out from the St. Alban's Hotel, for Ports mouth, where he is immediately to embark with some troops, which are to proceed thence to Cork, where Sir DAVID will take the command of the troops which have been colle6ted there Lauder Sir Exits COOTE. , The objet of this Expedition is re ported to be the Cape of Good Hope, The Spanish Schooner S.

Capt. Ewapm, considering that if he stsempted to escape, or suffered the .srig to be captured, the Enemy would undoubtedly next attack him, bore down between the Privateer and the Brig. This manceuvre, and the warlik e appearance o f the Sarah and Elizabeth, • had the desired oiled, and. the Pri vateer made all sail to escape. Capt. Ewsrom fen in with a Sloop of War afterwards, and mammal sated the intelligence to Se great is the anxiety treated by the Rowing Match, which will take place this afternoon, and the concomitant attra6tions of Vauxhall Gardena in the evening, that it is supposed the present will be one i of the most splendid exhibitions of the season.
