L 0 N'D N, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 0, :800. \V'i have this morning received.. accounts from Greenock 'which induce us to believe - that the whole of Admiral GUILLEAUIVIEZ'S Squadron has return,. ed to Europe, and'tbat JEROIE 40XAPARTE'S Ship, the Veterans,when she fell in with,the Quebec Fled . , at no great distance from the rest of the French Zcoadron. The accounts to which we allude state, that Capt. STEEL, of.the Europe; one of the Quebec Fleet, under Convoy of the cliampion,.arrived at Ayr last Sunday. His statement agrees with that which we have already received respeEting their falling in with the Peteran on the tOth tilt. the Obariipiwz's making the signal for the Convoy to disperse, &c. frc. ; but he 'adds, that soon after two other large: ;iiiips were seen, which also gave chace to the Convoy. Cap:. STEEL was then 'to windward, and two Of 'the Fleet astern, which were taken.' The Eur Ope was chaced some_time, but the Enemy at length gave up the' pursuit. The next morning, at day 'light, be observed two more large hips, which, with - the three be had seen before, made five Sail of the Line. If this account be correa, there can be no doubt that the whole of the French _Squadron has re turned to Europe. It is true, that the Veteran was alone when seen by the 'Gibraltar, but it is -probalk that the Squadron .. rnight separat ed in order to take the chance of getting into Port singly. nut, on the other hand,. if it was Ad miral Go ILLEAUNEZ' s intention to return to 'it is difficult to account for his going -so far to the West as long. 79. off Charlestown, where he was on the 20th July. It' is hardly probable that he would go so far . out of his way merely to mislead the British Squadron that was in pursuit of him. Ova Readers will find some further Extraas from the Official Journals published in Sicily, rospeeting the military operations in Calabria. 'We have also selelited two Letters, said, to have been written. by Generals BERTIIIE.II and VERDIER, and intercepted. We feel it our duty, however, to state, at the same time, that we entertain very strong doubts of their authenticity. ALTHPVGII, from the immense superiority of the French force in the Kingdom of Naples, Sir 'JOHN STUART was unable to follow up the glorioui Viaory which he gained, and ever: found it necessary to re embark for Sicily, yet the , advantages resulting from that viotery are most important. It has been_ for .• . some time the boast of the French that their Infantry was the best in Europe, and their extraordinary suc cesses on the Continent .have, to a certain degree, jtistified,that boast. BotrivrArtr, immediately be fore the ,battle of Austerlitz, declared, that if the French Troops beat the RusSians, their title to the Chara6ter of the best Troops in Europe would be indisputable. The result of that battle was in their favour, and of course they conceived their reputa • tion firmly establisbed. But in estimating' the supe,. riority of the Troops of different Countries, BcN A.; PARTL, and indeed the French in general, studiously exclude the British. Our successe's in Egypt were:. attributed (particularly by General REGNIER), not- to the skill of our Officers, or to the bravery :aid discipline of our Troops, but to the gross' errors of the Commander in Chief, MENou.— But in this last Battle in Calabria there were no errors' committed by the French Qeneral—at .General REGNIRR will not contend that there were--it was not decided by any skilful corn binalion of tneverrients, which sometimes rev- . Litt vain the etiOrts of the bravest Troops. The nature of t h e ground, and the small number of each renr!ered . such manceuvres impraCticable.7-= The two Airnies were brought directly in front of each other, and, their steadiness and courage put to the severest test, viz. that of the bayonet : the re- 4o.it was, that the French '(and these, too, piCked Troops) gave way. Sit iopl4 STIJART was therefbre fully justifiecL.when he said, that the prowess of the Nations was fairly at trial, and that the Supe riority was greatly and, gloriously decided in our fa vour. We hope, therefore, v - e shall hear no more, the pompous boast of the French Troops being the best in EUrope. Mr !

The Garland, .GOTiDON (a running Ship), arrived here yesterday, from New Providence, after a .pas sage.of days ; left the Arrial, —, and Coiling wood, loading for Liverpool, and were expe6t 7 ed to sail in a few days. Hii Majesty's Schooner Ilavoek, Lieut. W. R.

The Enemy bore up, fired at the tivoVessels and captured them. The 'Europe crowded all sail, and was pursued by the Enemy, but this taking them from the body of the convoy, they relinquished the chase. Next morning, at day. light, Capt. STEEL observed two more of. the French Ships, which, with the three seen on the preceding day, made five Ships of . the Line : this must have been the whole Squadron of JEROME BowArion: returning to France.

WE stop the Press to communicate to our Readers the following intelligence, which has just been re ceived at LLOYD'S : " The Vigilant Schooner arrived at Weymouth with Dispatches ; left the homeward-bound West India Fleet, c. 65 tail, on the 4th August: The Fleet sailed on the 3d August, under convoy of the Agamemnon and Cerf, for England ; the Northum berland, Elephant, and Canada were to proted them well to the Northward. The Fleet from Gtenada, &c. got to Tortola on the 2d August. A French Squadron is expeCted at Martinique." IFEST BASSETERRE (ST. KITT'S), JLTLY Tuesday last Mr. CLEMENT CAINES gave notice in the House . of Assembly, that it was his intention to exhibit charges against the Hon. WM. WOODLEY, Esq, Pre sjdentand Chief Justice of the Island, of a gross and scandaloq nature. Mr. WOODLEY, in consequence, wrote a letter to the Speaker of the Assembly, re quiring the House to investigate the charges without delay. The Assembly complied with the President's request, and he was allowed a seat in the 'Assembly Rood), to. refute the charges, in which he complete ly succeeded, as they were declared void of foUnda tion by a large majority. . • ST. KITT I S, JULY +.-- r :Yesterday morning His Majesty's Brig Hawhe, Captain AYscouox, arrived, express with information to the Giirrison, that the . Fretich Squadron had quitted Martinique ; and,. shortly after, Captain MEAD, in a small. Sloop, tre' Montserrat, confirmed the abdve, with the addi tional intelligence, that between eight' and nine o'clock the preceding evening the French Fleet, consisting of five Sail of •the Line and two Pri gates, arrived off that Island, and sent two Offi cers on 'shore to . demand the surrender of the Shipping, and bad taken on board Mr. M. SEM PEE as an hostage for their being sent out. The alarm bad been repeatedly fired at Nevis. At noon his Majesty's Schooner Grounder called in here, with a signal flying for an enemy in sight; and, shortly after, they were plainly discovered steering their course towards the .hill, wider the cover of which the few remaining ~vessels had taken pro ,. te6tion. Besides . the number mentioned, it was seen the •enemy had several vessels in tow, we presume the prizes captured at Montserrat. The,vessels from Nevis having made their escape in due time, they found no booty there. When they got near to Brimstone Hill, a fire was , opened on them from the garrison, but it is uncer tain with what effe& ; and, they, in return, fired se veral broadsides on the Ships which had fled thither for shelter, by ,which it is understood two or three •men have been slightly hurt. Finding themselves likely to have a still warmer reception, should they continue within the line of fire from the garrison, Master Jerome very prudently kept more aloof, and with an easy sail went for St. Eustatia, froth whence . they were seen to sail about three o'clock this morn ing, steering a south-west course. t .ST. JOHN'S, JULY 24:—The account contained in the Barbadoes Mercury, of the 12th inst. of an at tack having been made upon this Island by Gum \ LEAUMEZ'S Squadron, will, we are afraid, give great. uneasiness to our friends at home, unless accounts , of a subsequent date should previously be received from this Island. There is reason to hope that the account of the Capture; of by the French, is an exag geration, as letters from that place, dated the 9th of July, state that it was indeed visited by the French, bUt theyonly demanded the Shipping, without men tioning any farther depredatory measures. The homei,vard 7 bound Fleet from St. Kitt's, con sisting of thirty-two Sail, had a very narrow escape from being captured by GUILLEAUMEZ'S Squadron. On the 3d of July the Fleet sailed tiff Great Britain, and, six hours after its departUre, the Enemy's Squa dron was otf St. Kitt's, looking out for them. !

As Count DE ST, JULIE/4 had negotiated without instructions, and without ,permission, the Preliminaries were disowned by the Cabinet of ;Vienna, and the Volunteer Negotiator justly 'disgraced.

Yesterday some further information was received cavcerning the-arrest of Daniels, by Mr. SCOTT, that Receiver-General of the Isle of Man. He passed by Melanie a DENNIS, and said he.was an Irishman. In offering the 2001. Bank Note for change he was aware that an en - or had been madein the number, and thia gave him confidence. He appeared so per! feetly indifferent that Mr. SCOTT gave up the charge and he was liberated. He then set off for the town of Ramsey, but it occurred to Mr. SCOTT, on refleEte ing on all the matters, that he resembled the descrip, tore- --of the person advertised so perfectly, that he should do wrong not to secure hicn—he therefore overtook him on the road and took.him into custody. He then became sulky, and would give nu answer : but he was soon -atter recognized and identified by Mr. NANTIS, the partner of the late Mr. Muzw444l, who now keeps a,public-house in the Island. The - extraordinary efforts that have been used .(and by none more than the Jews) to deteet 'Da niell, and 'the success which has attended them, will be the means of preventing.any similar rob bery. from being committed, as the villain must be convinced, that notwithstanding his utmost cau= tion and well-concerted plans, the' chance of his escape would-be next to impossible, Had Daniels taken the route of the Continent, We are per suaded he would have been equally disappointed in his s hopes , of escape, as EDWARD THORNTO N. , Esq„&nr Minister at Hamburg!), had, unsolicited, used, the utmost vigilance to have him deteaed, in _wh?tvver place he might be found within the circle' of' his power .and, influence. This Gentle man wrote to Mr. ABRAHAM GOLDSMID, through the medium. of the SECRETARY of STATE'S Tice, from namburgh, apprising him of .what he had - done towards effeeting the apprehension of Daniels,: he said, that, having seen the-atrocious robbery in the -English Newspapers, he thought it his duty to•advcruse the atfair in The Man? gie Coreesponciergen, on account of its immense cir culation • with the addition, that it Paniels was arrested and delivered to hini at Hamburgh, he would ,engage, on his being identified in England, to pay : the reward set forth in the advertisement, beiOg assured that these Gentlemen who made themselves responsible in the first instance, would enable him in - tine time to fulfil his en gagement. • Th i ursday A quarter's sa! a - y, to 'the Pith of Jule, began paying to his MAJEUTY's Household, at the Lord Steward's Utfice, in St.--JeMes's,,e.-t,
