We have already stetted that the master of the Lis-
bon packet last arrived had reported, that on Monday
se'nnight, in lat. 45 deg. 4 min. long. 11 deg. 10
min. he saw four strange sail of the line steering
a W. S. W. course. We wese then inclined
to believe, that the Captain had mistaken the
class of the strange vessels, as we were not aware
of any French or English squadron which could
be in that quarter, answering the descriptio". In
this opinion, we were confirmed by one of our con-
temporaries, which stopped the press, for the ex-
press purpose of giving a dire contradi2ion of the
report. Our belief is, however, again shaken, by
the following extra& of a letter received from a
Correspondent at Brixharn, this morning :-4. Upon
the Roth July, as Captain Hoastr.v, of the ship
Atiare, late of Liverpool, was returning from Lis-
bon, in a vessel belonging to Lubeck, he saw in lat.
41. long. 91. a fleet, consisting of nine sail of the
line, and five frigates, which he firmly helieves to
have been French. They shelved no colours, although
one of the ftigates came very near to him. They
were steering n southern course, at the rate of nine
knots an hour, with the wind at N. W. Captain H.
declared himself ready to verify this report upon
oath. He is a man of veracity, and belonged to
the unfortunate fleet wrecked upon the co..st 4)1
Portugal, on its way out to the West Indies."
