Tnis morning an Officer arrived at the Admiralty, with Dispatches - . from Rear- Admiral Sir JAMES SANNlARtZ,'contaid ing an, account of hiS having engaged the Spanish Squadron which had prOceeded - to the relief of the French in Algesiras- - 13ay, and having taken -one Ship of 74 guns, burnt one of Ito guns; and driven a third Ship, one of too guns, on shore. The Particulars- of this glorious A&ion will be published in a Gazette. Extraor= - dinary in the cou-se of this day. TE stopped ihe Press on:-Saturday„,to announce ; the arrival 'at the Admiralty -of Captain FERRIS, • - late cf the Hannibal, ,uith Dispatches frOM Sir JAMES ;SAVMARF,%,. containing _an account of the ,Bat4at Algesiras.• The particulars were publish: ed . in the London Gazette of Saturday. They'furniih, as we from the first moment anticipated they would, .another proof, if_ proof_ Were necessary, of British Valour. If the difficulties of the attack weregreat,'. it adds to the glory of_those who dared.toenc6unter -them :—the untoward . circumstances which occa. sioned the loss of the Hannibal, were such as neither prudence •coluld .guard against, nor skill avert. As we had anticipated, ; the preparations of the Enethy, which were to produce such terror - on the minds of Englishmen, are now to be employed for the purposes of defence instead of aggression. Lord NsLsolsr sailed from the Downs on Saturday morn.. ing for the Coast of France, in the Medusa, with Eight Gunboats in company, to take the Command of the Force off Boulogne. Among the accounts which continue to be received at our Ports, of the further measures of the Enemy, we now find red hot Furnaces erected on the beach of Boulogne, for the prcnetliorr of their own Armament. - A very few days will shew us how far these precautions will avail them.—Do we risk much in expressing san guine hopes_ of some great and, successful attempt where Lord NELSON commands ? Accounts are :said to have been this morning•re., cei yeti ; of the Capture of a French Frigate off :the Cciast of Ireland. Tx E iftrnsbiZrL h Mail which became du,e }ester. day, arrived' this morning. The Colzstapt;ffopie article is of the 28th of, June. It states the united British and ;Turkish Forces before care at 4.2,000 men. The Mail brings no other intaigenee of importance from that quarter. The Brussels article affels to give spme mation respeaing: the state of. the Negotiation be tween Eng'aim' and France.

Copy f a Letter from Rear- Admind Sir James Sau r2arez, to Evan Nepesan ,Esf: dated on board His Illajes,j's Ship Carat-, at Gibraltar, the 6th of 'jay, 1801. SIR, I have to request you will be pleased to inform my-Lords--Gommissioners of the Admiralty, that, conformably to my Letter of yesterday's date, I stood . through the Strcights, with 'His Majesty's Squadron under my orders, with the intention of attacking Three French Line of Battle Ships and a Frigate, that I had received information of being At anchor off Algeziras ; on 'opening Cabareta Point, I found the Ships lay at a considerable dis tance from the Enemy's Batteries, and having a leading wind up to them, afforded every reasonable hope of success in the, attack. I . I had previously. dire led Captain Hood, in the Venerable, from his experience and knowledge of the anchorage, to lead' the Squadron, which he ex_ . ecuted with his accustomed gallantry, and although it was not intended he should , anchor, he found 'Mill - self under the necessity so, to do, from the r wind's failing (a circumstance so much to be ap_ prehended in 'this Country), and 'to which cir cumstance I have to regret, the want' of success in this well-intended enterprise ; Captain Sterling an. chored opposite to the inner Ship of the'Enealy, and brooght. the Pompee to Aaion in the most spirited and gallant manner, whic4 was Aso foil )4/.. ed by the Commanders of every Ship in the Squadron. Captains Darby and Ferris, owing to light winds, were prevented for a con,iderable time from coming into adion ; at length the Hannibal getting a breeze, Captain Ferris had the . most favourab,le prosped of being alongside one of the Enemy's Ships, when the Hannibal unfortunately took the ground, and I ant'extreinely concerned to. acquaint their lordships, ',hat .after having made every possible effort with this Ship and „the Auda cious, to cover her' from -the. Enemy, was under the necessity make sail, being at the time only three cables length from one of the Enemy's Batteries. My thanks are particularly' due to all the Cap tains, Officers, and Men under my orders ; and al though their endeavours have not been crowned with success, I trust the thousands of SpeEtators from His Majesty's Garrison,, and also the stir. rounding Coast, will do justice to their Valour and Intrepidity, which was not to be checked by the fire from the numerous Batteries, however for. midable, that surround Algeziras. I feel 'it' incumbent updn me to , state to their Lordships the _great merits of Captain Brenton, of the Caesar, whose cool judgment and intrepid con dud, I will venture to pronounce, were never sur passed. I also beg leave to recommend to their Lordships' notice my Flag Lieutenant, Mr. Philip Dumaresq, who has served with the from the commencement of this War, and is a most -deserv ing Officer. Mr. Lamborne and the other Lieute nants are also entitled to great praise, as well as Captain Maxwell of the Mirines, and the Officers - of his Corps serving on bcrard the Caesar. The Enemy's Ships. consisted of Two of Eighty four .Guns, and One of Seventy-four, with a large Frigate . ; two of the former are aground, and t h e whole are rendered totally unserviceable. I cannot close this Letter without rendering the• most ample justice to the great bravery of Captain Ferris : the loss in ,his Ship must have been very considerable both in Officers and Men ; but I have the satisfaftion to be informed, that His Majesty has 'not lost so valuable an Officer.' •I have. the Honour to be, &c. &c. • JAMES SAUMARRZ. The Hon. Capt. Aundas, of His Majesty's Polacre the Calpe,:thade his Vessel'as useful as possible,-and kept up a 4pit-lied fire on, one of the Enemy's Bat teries. I have also to express my approbation of Lieut. janverin, cditirnander of the Gun-Boats, who having joined n* with Intelligence, served' as Vo lunteer on board the C2esar.

SIR, I herewith enclose the Copy of a Letter from Captain Ferris, of, His Majesty's late Ship Han nibal, which I request you will please to lay before their Lordships,; and I have only to express my deep regret, that his well-meant endeavours to bring his Ship to close anion, should have occasioned so severe a loss. j. SAUMAREZ. 'lti& 7, iBO r. I have little more to tell you of the fate of His; Majesty's Ship Hannibal than yourself must have' observed, only, that _from the number of Batteries and Ships, Gun-Boats, src. we had to eneounter, our Guns soon got knocked up; and I found it was impossible to do any thing either for the preserva tion of the Ship, or for the good of the service, our Boats, Sails, Rigging, and. Springs. being all shot away ; an'd 4ving so many Killed and Wounded,' which will appear by the amexed List, I.thought it - 'prudent to strike, and thereby preserve the lives of .• the brave men that remained.
