I hasten-to lay before you an Extraa of the De tails which I have received, of. the Battle of ...lige zkras.. Rear-Admiral LiNo - is was apprized at half after- seven in the morning, that the'English Squa dron which was cruizing before Cadiz, had passed the Streights. It was composed of Six Ships of the L ine, a Frigate, and a Lugger. These Vessels were in a line, following in the wake of the leader, which steered for the Formidable, the Ship most to the Northward, with the Desaix, - the ladomptable, and the Frigate the .21inircti, to the South. At a quarter past eight,. the .Battery of Islejertu fired upon. the Enemy. At half after eight the Indomp table began the fight, which soon became general. At half past nine, Admiral Liza) J S made the sign a l to cut the cables. The breeze from the land had fallen, and as the cairn continued, the movement of the falling off of - the Ships was very tedious, an d rendered more critical the position of the three Ships, whose firt however did not slacken. - eleve n o'clock the Formidable touched the ground,. and the leader of the Enemy's Line touched also in front of her. Two English Ships. bore up with springs upon their cables, within a short distance from those of the Republic. The Battery of Isle retie had almost for two hours ceased its fire, and the English Boats and other small Craft threatened to *possess themselves of it. A Captain of Infantry, at the head of 130 Soldiers, passengers on board the a lndi Formidable, g were s e nt to p re v ent t h e E nem y f rom : they just arrived_ in time. An English boat was sunk, and another taken. Thf , Captain of the Desaix also sent people to the Battery, which was served with great activity. Art Ship touched the ground opposite the ry, the fire of which she sustained, as also _ of the Indomptable. Her Flag was struck, b ,ut some - Boats towed her off. The Battery of Si. j i a7zet, situate to the North of the Line, having slackened its fire, the General of Brigade, DEvnox, 'Alio w as on b oar d the French Squadron, precipi tated himself into it, with Troops from the Desaix, and pou re d some well-direfted discharges upon the ' n eßiy. Seven Spanish Gun-boats took such an aetive part in the engagement, that five of them 'were sunk or totally disabled. The English Ships were unable to resist. Those which were moored .cut their cables - , and the Ship that was agroundnear the Formidable, sustaining the fire of the Battery, and particularly that of the Desaix, struck her Flag at two o'clock. In half an hour after the Battle c eased, the , Enemy having reached Gibraltar,. leay.- ng the Hannibal, of 74. Guns, behind. Admiral LiNors, who takes no notice of his own services in this glorious day, applies himself only to the praise of all those who assisted him; and it ii:with, enthusiasm, that he speaks of the v.dour an d disci pline of the Om _cers and Soldiers, in the Land and Sea Service, as also of the Sailors. In , the evening of the 6th July, several Boats of the Enemy's Di vision came on board the Hannibal to take away the wounded. As they had not a Flag of. Truce, and -were armed, General Lt NO is detained them, and made them Prisoners. The 7th July, he per ceived atGibraltar, two of the Ships that had been . obliged to return into the Port : the three others Were re in t he 'toad ; but only ore appeared fit to put tO sea. The b att l e o f t he 6 t h commence d w i thin h alf cannon shot with unexampled fury.

FORFAIT, MINISIER OF MARINE AND CO. CITIZE N MINISTER, jutv 16. General MO3IZNO has entered the road: General Li- N°; 3 will - give you an account of the operations of getting 4:l dor Wey, and of the passage of the. Squadron. I cannot conceal the chagrin that 7 felt on -not perceiving the French Ship the Saint Antoine, and the two three-deckers, the Real . t".%rles and the'Ereacnegilde. A boat, saved from the Real Carlos, with 45 tnen, informs us, that towards n.idnlght, the Squadien having attempted to board the English, the Real Carlos anti the Ermenegilde took each other for enc . Trl ies• A very furious battle commenced between them; the t wo Ships being nearly on board each other, the Real Car- IDE took lire, which scan mottnted into the. air, and ernliraced the Errnenegilde, which has experienced the sante fate. The Sa int ArrtOine , o-i.s near th 6 latter Vessel ; and this position it tll 43 B iVen me much uneasiness : however ; I am assured that m e : ll7 l , re only twb explosions. I must thence conclude, 4 t g get.away from the, Ere, Captain LERAt may have elr ed for the Coast of Africa, where the calms and cur.: . rerlt s %ve kept him at a distance flop the Squadron, which I ., t ., lnti tning found itself six leagues to the West of Cadiz„:-- ; ' tr ee English Ships and a French Shim were descried the :," - before yesterday front the Coast, in the Streights, but he signals have not described the latter as. taken. This may some hope, if the signals were accurate. There remains M en.for,rne nothing but uncertainty and much apprehension, acid I know not on what to conclude. " After having so far dwelt Upon our losses, it is very grateful to me to speak to you upon the subjed of the new Vary with which the Formidable, commanded by Captain -1 ' it 0 T.; Sr., has covered herself. During the cannonade of the light, in the midst of the Streights, this Shipleceived equal ly the fire of friends and fees ; but with the coolness of coo- NE; the Captain would not retina the fire, from the fear of a tigUrienting the conft:sion, and, withdrawing himself to the S Nilith Coast, lre removed to a distance froth, the coo - 1- ' 4 %104s Ile was fdlows4 lay an kagliori yisico .1 Illrot sight of Cad t, and about five leagues from the Squ:tiror,;, he was attacked by the three Ships, with which he had au ci gagernent for hail an hour, and obliged two of them to sl4.e:c off; the third, crowding her Sails, attempted to . the Formidable upon her quarter, while the Frigate cannonaded her abaft.' Notwith.itanding the bad state of her masts, Cap tain TR °cos bore up within musket-shot of the English Ship the Pompee, vthich, having lost her main -mast, soon withdrew from the tire, being towed away by the Frigate.— Shortly after all her other masts went by the board, and the Ship seemed to be abanclonCd; but as the t.vo other Vessels and the Frigate were at a short distance, Captain TROUDE was not abl; to take possession of her : he expeded to be at tacked anew. , The Enemy, disconcerted by his fire and his tiravery, left him to continue his route without interruption. Tins engagement took place within view of all' Cadiz ; and the glorious result of such an uneqUal contest has in fused the most ardent enthu4iasm into the hearts of the Spa.: Maids. The 'Formidable was scarcely repaired from the battle of the 6th; at Algeziras, and in this disabled state the brave Tito one, instead of flying front the Enemy, made the attack himself, and by this manoeuvre,. as judicious as bohi, he extricated himself in' the first place froM two Ships, after doing them much: injury, and ending, by totally clearing away the masts of the Pompee,Which he fought valiantly for an hour and a half. • '" The Combined 'Squadron was at this time becalmed about five leagues distance out at sea. exiieeted to see it come with the breeze to take possession of this Vessel, and to chace or take the four English Ships that were in sight;. but J was far from suspeding the unhappy fate of the two three deckers, which has, no doubt, caused the separation of, the Saint Antoine. At night the Squadron came to a mooring. " Rear-Admiral I.tNOts extremely regrets that he was not on board . the Formidable ;* but he could not resist the pressing solicitations of General 11101iENO, who prevailed upon hirri to go on board his Frigate, foi l the purpose of con cert in the, operations. Health and Respea: " DUMANOIR L PELLEY." . Here follows a report from the Capitaine tie Fregate, TROUDE, atting Commander of the For midable, under Rear Admiral LINOIS. The follow ing is an extrad from it : " Proud of theilonourable office of defending your flag, ha.ve been most scrupulously attentive to the execution your orders, • " Observing that the Enemy made sail at the same time as the combined sqUadron, and kept to windward of us at about ,a league's distance, I encleavouicd to follow your manoeuvre exadly ; but the vessel I had the honour to command having been completely disabled, and having only the stumps of fished masts standing, and only the courses set, could not nuke way so fast ,as I should have wished. The dalkness of the night—a strong• breeze, which carried away the tore top.gallant-mast, which I was obliged to use as a fore-top mast—every. thing contributed to prevent me from follow ing the combined squadron. " Towards midnight, I received the fire of five ,English Ships of the Line, which bore up at the same time with us. They tired red-hot balls: I made the best of my way from their fire by hoisting the same number of lights which they had. 'At one in the morning, not being able to perceive any I steered for Cadiz, stretching along the Coast of _Spain to the North and North East. This course increased the distance between me and the Squadron, which kept a good offing to the West. " At day-bripak, I observed close up with me four Sail of the Enemy, consisting of three Ships of the Line and one -Frigate, which had followed my course. They opened their ,tire upon me. Though totally disabled, and though the CrFw was worn out with fatigue, having had no rest for three days, we courageously returned their fire. The Frigate first attacked us. A few Well.direfted shot from our stem chasers, made her sheer off. The Ship next to her then came up, and commenced a very brisk fire.' We manoeuvred so, as to pass along side, and get into a more advantageous position. I closed with her almost yard-arm and yard-arm, pouring in a most terrible and well-supported fire. After an engagement of about an hour and a half, all her Masts went overboard, and she leaked inevery part. The Frigate which had just placed herself on my stern, immediately went to her assistance. The other two Ships being compelled to give up the attack, after receiving a few smart broadsides, not Without damage, joined the Frigate, and got out all their. Boats, in order to save the remains of the Crew of the other Ship, and to tow her off. They then withdrew, and left me master of the scene of adioh. . " I shall not attempt to mention particular instances of bravery. The Officers, both Naval and Military, the Crew and the Soldiers on beard, emulated each other in covering themselves with glory ; for, in additicn to the brilliant Ac tion of the 6th, this last proves that the valour which ani mates. the Heroes whom I have the honour to command, has been carried to a pitch which I cannot adequately describe.— The Government will doubtless hasten to reward so much courage, and,so warm a z2al to restore the glory of the French Navy. It would be equally proper to compensate for the losses they have sustained, their effeEts having been torn to pieces and totally destroyed. " In an Ailion so severe as that of this morning, and with such unequal force, I am happy to have to regret only twen ty men killed and badly wounded." AUGUST 3. General MULLER 'has embarked for Corsica, of which place he goes to take the Command. HAGUE, JULY 28.—T0 judge from the number of vessels which the English have here, we should suppose that the whole of the Baltic Fleet was now in the North Sea. AUGUST 4. A Letter from Boulogne, of the 29th ult. says, it seems that the English have not forgotten the lesson they learnt at A/gosh-at. Although greatly superior in force, they have kept constantly out of the range of our shot, with the exception of one Brig, which advanced and manoeuvred very teso: lutcly.

ITALY, JULY 16 Tfl E Cisalpine Government will send an Envoy to the Court of the KING of ETkUR rA, whose ad vancement to the Regal Dignity has been officially annotinced to it. ' On the hi.th this Sovereign ar rived at Turin.. On his way to Florence' he will stay some time at Parma with his father. There have - been.some disturbances at Cc'fa be tween- the natives and the Turks, but they were soon quelled by the interfe-renceof the Russians. The three French Frigates which lately ran into Leghorn, sailed thence again on the 7th. against Porto Ferrajo, to hasten . the surrender of that Fortress. An English Frigate had previously sail ed from Porto Ferrajo, and carried away the Eng lish Commissaries, and several things of value. On the 27th of Pine: the Garrison mat{ a sally, with 300 men. The besiegers, who were much superior in numbers, retreated before them, till they had cut, off their retreat, and then cut many of them in pieces, and made the rest Prisoners. HAGUE, JULY 28., IT is now known that General AUCEREAU was sent to Paris to regulate several . things relative to the Corps of 25,660 men taken into our pay. To-day the new-eleded third take their seats in the Legislative Body. Admiral DE WINTER is gone to Helvaetslays.— It is again said that the Squadron there will soon sail to join that in the Texel. FLORENCE, JULY 13. Ir is generally reported in Italy, that the French Republic has assigned to the Genoese the Piedmon tese Town of illoicandria and its territory, for a certain sum of money. The DUKE of PARMA has procured several fine sets of horses and magnificent carriages, which he intends to make a present of to his son, the KING of ETRURIA, on his arrival at Parma. There will likewise be a splendid horse-race at Parma, at which the Duke will give two great prizes to be run for. • The latter end of July an English Cruizer of to guns and 51 men, was driven by stress of weather on shore at Leghorn, and taken by the French. The whole coast from Ancona to Brindisi is blockaded by English Frigates, which daily make prizes near Brindisi; they have taken the Neapo litan brigantine the Liparie, and another Ship laden with corn. Several English Frigates are likewise cruizing of£ Genoa, and have conveyed provisions into Porto Ferrajo.—The letters receivedt here on the loth, from Upper Italy, Germany, &c. were detained i+ hours, the French having thought it necessary to open them. The French have again laid a conttibutian of Half a Million on Tuscany. BRUSSELS, JULY 24.

His talents were not of a splendid, cast, but were adapted to business ; and such a Man is of more service to a State, than a host of frothy declaimers, who are more solicitous to display their own powers ; than to advance the in_ terests of the Nation. While Lord NORTH was lulled into sleep by Oratorical Murmurs, Sir GtEY COOPER was vigilant on his post, and took tni= nutes of the Debate, attending only to the substance of what the Speaker said, and discarding all the tinsel ornaments of eloquence ; consequently, all the rhetoric of Opposition were in his , notes re duced within a Nut.shell.
