We are enabled from the first authority' to state' the real circumstances which led` to the captUre . of the Hannibal, and the Public will then judge wile, - titer the modern Republicans .are not as fully entitled to th e character of Gascons as their Ancestors. The, ,fatt is ..not mentioned in Sir JAN:Es .SaursitAittz's. "ispatches, but the manoeuvre of M. LINO'S is not the less entitled, to celebrity. • When the Squadron under Sir JAMES SAUMAREz first came round Cabaretta Point, the French were, as he stated, at- some distance from the Batteries but dreading an attack, and the inevitable conse quences of it if their Ships remained with the pos. of being moved, Admiral LtNors aaually ordered them *to be cturried aground before the Adion commenced, which occasioned the Hanni 4ari's taking the ground also, as it was in the ex ecution 1, of his orders that Captain FERRIS placed his ship as close to the enemy as possible. The loss sustained by the French and Spaniards in the above Alion was very considerable, — Two days were employed by them in burying the dead ; and the French General DEvaux, who coin- , minded it the Spanish Batteries, informed Captain YEakts, at the Spanish Governor's table, that he had lost six huntized of his troops. The carnage on board the Flag Ship only is esti mated at six hundred, as she was reinforced three times from the shore. The Spaniards are said not to have stood to their guns, and some of them,were t hrown over the Batteries by the French. The French Soldiers who were landed from Ad miral Liwo Squadron had not got into - ther Bat teries when tie Hannibal grounded. Capt. FE/tit is distinlly observed them as ,they entered, and 'im. • mediately ordered some guns to be . worked upon them, which madea'clreadful Carnage. So great was the ardour of our gallant Seamen:to engage the Enemy, that when the Calar, the Ad. miral's Flag-Ship, was . warping out of Gibraltar Mole, many of the Seamen who had been wounded • in the Adion'of Algeziras got on board, arid en treated Sir JAMES SAUMAREZ to allow them .to do duty with the Ship's Company. Their application was granted, and those who were' fess dangerOusly wounded adually assisted in working the vessel and fighting the guns. Even after the Squadron- had sailed in pursuit of the Combined Fleet, and mhen the Casar was about a' mile &Om the Mole, several others, who had left their' sick quarters, took a boat, 'and, with uncommon exertions; got along-side the Ship and insisted on being- taken on board to share in the danger of their Comrades. Lieutenant Dum.kmEsQ, of the aesar, ,hasj)een appoiritddeommander of the Catil , e. A Letter from on board L' Immortalite'F rigate, ar anchor off St. Matthew, states .the following curious Circumstance ;—" Our Pilot, a i r very brave young man, volunteered, some time ago, tot° onihore, pro -teed to the Town of llresti . and get h corre& account of ybat Ships were in Docks in the Harbour, or ready for Sea. We landed him ,on Tuesday the 9th. of May, about nine miles from Brest; we Were to send two boats for him on the - eitursday following, one to the same place at which we had landed. him,- andsanother to a place called the Sand Hills. The; boats ~ Vent accordingly, but he did not appear ; they were again sent on the Friday and Saturday, but without success. We-then gave him up, think ing he had been discovered and, taken, prisoner.— ' Bur, to our great 'surprise, he returned' on the Tues day night following, it'i a French Shine boat,' with two FrenChmen in her, and brought us 'all the in, telligence possible. The following is the manner in which he made his escape hired the-boat on pretence that he was going to Camaret Bay, about two miles from the Harbour of Brest, saying that he had an uncle on board a Sloop of War that lying there. The boatmen made some objec tionS to noinc , out of the harbour without the perntis •• of the Commander in Chief, but on his promts_ tora.htn.l?ack.before day-light they consented.- , - Wh?f,4l,-,y• „sot to Camaret Bay, he told them it • .teas Bartootnt4 Bay he wanted to go to : they be gan r tei but he promising them more mo nex-, they rowed:at - 1d sailed till they got a:breast of it-. lie then told them -that he wanted to go ao St. Malley - 7's, a 'town at the sea:side, near which oar Ship was tying: They swore violently., left off vowing, and said they would return to Brest. He, however, took a pistol out of each pocket, and said, I am an Englishman--If you do not take me on board that Ship, L will shoot you both;' which so frightened them, that they complied with his re vest at the same time stipulating, that he should ;ne his influence to prevent their being kept prison tri, which, of course, he promised.

Every day's experience is sufficient to convince our Enemies of the futility of their attempts to maintain a Navy. The Spaniards, when they send forth a Fleet to rescue their disabled Allies, are theinselves reduced to the situation of those they go forth to assist. They resemble the feeble Admini stration of which Jolt IC SO w complained, that "never sent a Messenger into the City to arrest a Printer for a Libel, but the Messenger himself was taken into ctistody and the Printer ,escaped." • - . _ . , Lord NELSO N' S sailing isTark event tasv hieh the Enemy-did. not look forwara We may expo& from his Lordship's pen, in the shape of an Appendix to an Official Letter in an Extrtoctlinaryf Gazette, what BUT LER calls, The Catalogue and CharaAer Of the Enemy's beat Men of War. Some time since. Mr. MAY, of Twickenham ; sent a-horse to grass in Bushey Park, and within. these few days he sent for his horse, when Mr. ELKIN, the Keeper of- the Park, after making every pos sible 'search, declared it was not in the Park, and that it must have been stolen. Last Sunday Mr. MAY recognized his horse stopping at an Inn op posite his own house ' with a very respeaable Gen- tleman on it Mr. MAY questioned him as to the' manner he. had become poSsessed of the horse ? upon which the Gentleman informed him he had hired it ' 'of a Livery-stable keeper in London, and gave his ' own name and address in London. - The horse has since b}'. - en traced from that Livery-stable keeper, who -loft it •to another in.

The Livery_ stable keeper - went there in pursuit of him" and after making a number of' inquiries, he could not learn any tidings of any such man. On another day since he had occasion to go to Hampton, and while 'sitting in an Inn he.observed the man pass by of :whom 'he had bought the. horse, upon which he ran after . -him, and challenged him by the name of Steers'; -he denied the name, but do his be ing reminded of the circumstance of selling 'tile horse in Smith - field, &c. he -c4fesicffile - was the man, and said he would come into tl:e Inn in -about half an hour after he had dop i the.,busines4e was about.

His Lordship, in his address to the Grand Jury, expressed his satisfaction at the Calendar containing none of those cases of enormity whiCh he had Met with in other Counties in the course of the Circuit. He complimented the Magistracy of the County for their assiduity in trying 'so many Prisoners at their Sessiobs, by which the had considerably les sened the business of the'Assite; and after a, very few general obSeryption, can luded his charge. - Previous to the : ,,sprimiencernent of business, ,hiS Lordship read a Letter .he, had just received from one of His Majesty's Ministers, informing him that the pleasing intelligence had just arrived of a Naval ACtion in the Mediterranean, between'the Squadron under the command of Sir JAMES SAUNIUREt, con sisting of five Sail of the Line, and the three French Ships in Algeziras, joined `6i six Spanish Ships, the result ,of which was ; that two of'the Spanish Ships were blown up. and one taken.

The sentence upon the Prisoner was, that he': should be transported for fourteen years. • .Easton was indicted-for assaulting mas Cooper. It was proved that the Prosecutor had received a very severe beating, but it appeared that the Defendant had infliaed the' chastisement under an impression that he _had behaved with' in decency towards' his wife. The Defendant was found guilty, and ordered to pay a fine to the King of three marks. Richard gone"s was charged with stealing adeal, the.property of his masters, Messrs.

The Prisoner- next morning came to work, as usual, and continued alone the whole of the day. In the evening a, search-warrant was obtained,. and in a box in his lodgin g s the articles so. marked were discovered. The Prisoner fell on his knees, and begged for mercy.

Elizabeth Was indkled fOr stealing from the shop of Mr. Crofts, a linen-draper in Elackfriar's- Road, several pieces of printed calico; his prOperty. The prosecution was opened by Mr. GLYIWE Y, who stated that this was not an ordinary case of. shop-lifting ; but was an offence no less atrocious than. it was uncommon. The Prisoner Was the itatit of going into Linen.drapersi shops under ,prea teoce of purchasing. goods, and she trained up very little children; who folloWed her as if - they - belonged to her ; and while -she - was bargaining with the shopman and taking oft his attention,. contrived to steal something = away:.

Mr. GURNEY intiniated that the child tvis a •pro.. per object for the Care of the Philanthropic Society, and that placing it under their guardianship, might be the Means of saving it from destruetiori. -Lord KENYON Said, the Philanthropic SoCiety had been abundantly kind in attending to his tecorn.: mendation on former Occasions; and taking the children . 91 - vicious parents • under their care': he knew nOt Whether their . funds , were stiffiaient to en::. able them to extend their charitable intentions, and he should be, sorry indeed to brirthen them beyond their means. - He trusted that an Institution Of so laudable a nature would be seconded by the libe:. rality of the affluent and Well disposed, who; to the honour of the country,. formed so considerable a portion of it, 'arid be. enabled to carry their bene '-volent endeavours' in reselling- helpless infants from ruin and-misery, into more leneral effe‘-ct.
