ON Friday night the Frigate arrived in Torbay, with a Dispatch from Sir HENRY flAavey to the Earl of I ST. ViNetc,x-r, stating that the Combined Fleet in Brest 11 trbour, to the uurnber of Fifty.two Sail, 'were 'ready for Sea, and, that on Thursday last Ten Sail a the Line made an attempt to put to Sea, but our Fleet appearing, the Enemy's Squadron took. shelter in a Bay dote to Brest. Dv our Port Letters received this morning, we learn, that in con,,ectuence of Orders from the Ad miralty Board to tite. Adaiirak conunand;ng at the Our-ports, every Ship and Vet , ,el of 'War fit to put to sea, has sailed, with orders to stop all Swedish, Danish, and Russian Vessels, and bend them t'or English Pori . s.

The 'scuffle which took place in Con , timthropiei has no doubt' .been a pre tence-.sought for the purpose; or, if it has been • accidental, it is'of too much value for the present Rwsian. Government, to suffer it to• escape.-- Doubtkt.s the EER'Olt, PAUL. is a Prince of a greatly ambitious mind. He announces the plan of at once attacking the ancient 'enemies of Rus. -sia, the. Turks, and-the new :enemies with whom he has chosen to embroil Ills Subjcas, the English. t will not.be matter for surprize, that, we consider the talents, as well as the Ilower.of PAUL, as very unequal to the'two-fOld undertaking. The 'lurks will not, we agree, throw any great ob stacles io his way by land; but. tie English Flag may expose tim to diffieniticA in the. Black Sea, whichTay retard his progress, or make him pay dearly. for it._ He will probably have still less fair play against us at the other maritime ,ex tremity of his Empire ; and it _.stems highly probable, that before the end of the year, which begins this Century, PAL will have reason .to regret that he ever abandoned the Politics he pursued in 1799, blindly to adopt those which the .Cabinet of.the Thudieries have marked gut fur him: ' • • We wait with impatience, to know what of the Proclamation of His MAJ ES imposing an Embargo on 'all Russian, Danish, and Swedish Vessels, has had on the Continent. • HER MA JESTY, accompanied by the Princmes AUGUSTA, EL 1 7. 40 11 ET H ~'and MAR I', on Sati% day ; took.an excursion.to Kew. , The Rev.
