Z.'s Letter from Liverpool, upon de tubjee7 of the Young itoscins. It is It.rillen with obvious good sense, - stud seems to he a just and candid critique. However, as ft in a great degree runs counter to all the reports of the Little Roscius, and as the London Public 'will soon have an cppGrue niy of judging for themselves, we think it proper to suspend 16 publication of it. MAILS. null. liamburgh z PRICE OF STOCKS, THIS DAY •2" TWZI.VX o'cLocz. Consols 574. THE SUN. !OLIN QUIS DICIAL FALSUM AUDLAT L 0 N D 0 N, MONDAY ) OCTOBER 22, 1804. TH Id Spanish F r i gates L a M e d ea an d La Clara ( arrived at Plymouth on Saturday last. After the anion, the Medusa, Capt. Goat, was dispatched to the Mediterranean to communicate the event to Lord NELsor.i, Two Gottenturgh Mails arrived this morning ; but the intelligence they bring has been anticipated by the Papers we have already received. We are enabled this day to lay before our Rcfa. ders a Copy of the Ultimatum presented by M. D'Oostt IL, the Russian Charge d'Affaires, before he quitted Paris. Thr demands made by Ru ss i a arc prieisely what we stated them to beat the time; they •are foucded upon the positive stipulation of Treaties ; but there is no reaori to CXl,t'iq that BONAPARTE will ever adhere to the conditions of soy Treaty which it ;nits either his interest or his • convenience to break. It i, statt3, in a priv:qc T.s.ttcr hom Hamburg!), that BOVAPARTE has made overtures to Ru , lia, for Olt putpose of adjusting the differences that subeist between France . and P„ussia, and also to effeo, if possible, a genetal pacification ; ~and to accomplish this, he proposes that a Congress should he assembled during the winter, at Hamburgh• But it is said th a t, a British Minister is not to he admitted to the Congress, unless Great Britain consents to an Armistice in Europe, and to rare the ade of the French Ports. This is very probably one of the Many idle rumours that are constantly circulated upon the Continent. It is not, however, improbable that BONAPARTE may endeavour to prevent, or at least to postpone, a rupture with the Northern Powers, by suggesting the appyintment of a Congress ; and if the offer be tejetled, he thinks, perhaps, he will gain credit for a pacific dispirsition, by hav:ng made the proposition.

Their names, or any further particulars, cannot be obtained in time to save Post. Ocf. 2.0.--In addition to my letter of yesterday, stating the arrival of two Spanish Frigates (without being enab:ed to prticularize their names, &c.), I have now the pleasure to detail some of the cir cumstances attending those valuable Captures. Com. • modo►e G. MooRE, of the Indefaiiiahle, of 40 guns, cruizing off Cadiz, in company with'the Me dusa, of 38 guns, Capt. J. GORE, Live/), of 38 guns, Capt. G. E. 1-lAmorto, and Amphion, of 32 guns, Capt. S. SUTTON, fell in on the sth instant about four hours sail from Cadiz, with the Spanish. Frigates Medea, of 44. guns, tB.pounders, and 360 • men, Rear-Admiral JOSEPH DE BASDAMANTIS GERUR ;La Fama, Commodore Don MicuAe t. SAPIAIMA ; La Mercedes, Capt. Don JOSE'PH GOYC9A ; and La Clara, Capt. D3tl Disco ALE, SON, of 34. guns each, I z.pounders, and 330 men,. when Capt. MooRE sent a Boat on board the . Spanish Admiral, acquainting him that he had orders to detain the Squadron under his com. mand ; which the Admiral peremptorily refused to submit to, and the boat returned to the In. bfatigable, when the latter immediately fired a gun athwart hawse of the Medea, which was returned by her with a shot dire into the In ekiatigdhle, on which an action commented, and in seven minutes afterwards the Met-eider blew up, with all her treasure and crew ; thirty only of the latter, including the Second Captain, were saved. The action with the other Frigates lasted about twenty minutes after this catastrophe, when two of them struck, and the other attempted to escape,' but was in a few minutes ranged alongside by the Lively, and her Colours hauled down, The Medea and La Clara are the two Frigates that arrived here`yesterday. The three Frigates cap. turgid are stated to have on board about Four Mil. lions of Dollars, with other valuable Articles. The Mercedes is said to have had Soo,ooo Dollars on board, besides a large quantity of sugar, hides, The Prisoners have been removed to the Rival Oak Prison Ship in the, Harbour, and the Officers are landed at Gosport, and put under the care of Capt.. Sir F. TH seta ER, the Agent for Prisoners of War. The Lady of a Colonel of Artillery, who was wounded on board the Fal t v, ,died on Mon. day last. La Fapea has been nine years at South America. The Officers of her will experience a very considerable loss of property in specie and of merehandize. The blowing up of La Mercedes is a melancholy accident, the frequency of which is to. be attributed to their dangerous method of load. ing their guns, which is by a shell, trimi a cask where the powder is kept loose. The indrfarigabli . and Amphion. Frigates are arrived here ; the Live& is, gone on to Portsmouth, in company with the Fama 'Spanish Frigate the Illedresa, after the .aftion, was dispatched with the intelligence to Lard NEOON.
