long. 11 deg. 17 min. W. I was favoured with a
viewof the Combined Squadrons of France and Spain,
consisting of 20 sail of the line, also three large ships,
armed en flute, of about 50 guns each, with five
frigates and three brigs; the force upder my direc-
tinn at this time consisting of 15 sail of the line,
two frigates, a cutter, and lugger, I immediately
stood towards the enemy with she squadron, making
the needful signals for battle in the closest order
end, on closing with them, I made the signal for at.
tacking their centre. When I had reached their
:eat, I tacked the squadron in succession ; this
brought us close up under their lee, and when our
hradmost ships reached their centre, the enemy were
tackingin succession ; this obliged me to make again
the same manoeuvre, by which I brought on an ac-
tion which lasted upwards of four hours, when I
found it necessary to bring-to the squ,e_hrin to cover
the two captured ships, whose names are in the mar-
gin.' I have to observe, the enemy had every ad-
vantage of wind and weather during the whole day.
The weather had been foggy, at times, a great part
of the morning ; and very soon after we had
brought them to seism, the fog was so very thick at
iatervals, that we could, with great difficulty, see
eter ship a-head or a stern of us; this rendered it
impossible to take the advantages of the enemy by
signals I could have wished to have done ; had the
weather been more favourable, I am led to believe
the viftory would have been more complete.
I have very great pleasure in saying, every ship
was conduSed in the most masterly style ; and I
beg leave here publicly to return every Captain, Of-
ficer, and Man, whom I had the honour to command
on that day, my most grateful thanks, for their con-
spicuously gallant and very judicious good coridtuff.
The Honourable Captain Gardner, of the Hero,
led the Van Squadron in a most masterly and officer-
like meaner, to whom I feel myself particularly
indebted ; as also to Captain Cuming for his assist-
ance during the adlion.
Enclosed is a list of the Killed and Wounded on
board the different ships. If I may judge from the
great slaughter on board the captured ships, the one.
musthave suffered greatly. They are now in sight
to windward, and when I have secured the captured
ships, and put the squadron to rights, I shall en-
deavour to avail myself of any opportunity that
may offer to give you some further account of these
Combined squadrons.

GLORIOUS VICTORY.
We have at length the pleasure of announcing a
GLORIOUS VICTORY obtained by the British
Squadron, under Sir Roei.er CALDER, over th•
Combined Fleets of FRANCE and SPAIN. Th•
ilyful news was brought to Falmouth by the Vila
cutter, Lieut. NICHOLSON, with dispatches from th•
gallant and vieloi ions Admiral. Lieutenant NI-
CHOLSON, immediately after landing, set off In
London, and yesterday morning, at half-past eig'
o'clock, he arrived in town, in a chaise and
and delivered his dispatches to Mr. Maris° r r:„
First Secretary to the Admiralty. Mr. MARS-
DEN immediately summoned several of 'he Lords
' of the Admiralty, and the dispatches were open-
ed. They consisted of a letter from Admiral
Coen wa tug, dated off Ushant, the :Bth last, a
eight o'clock, p m. enclosing a letter from Vc-
Admiral Sir ROBERT CALDER, dated on boar
the Prince of lral,s, July 23. It aprars front
the letter, that Sir ROBERT CALDER got a view
of the Combined Squadrons on the 22J, at
noon, in lat. 43. 30 minutes N. long. 11. 17. con-
'listing of 20 sail of the line, 3 large ships armed to
lute, of 50 guns, 5 frigates, and 3 brigs, making
in the whole 31 sail. The English force consisted
of the 10 ships of the line, of iginally composing the
squadron blockading Ferrol, reinforced by the
Ro.-hfoet squadron of 5 sail of the line, making in
the whole t 5 sail of the line, 2 frigates, 1 cuter, and
1 lugger, equal, in number of ships and guns,
to about two-thirds of the enemy's force
The enemy, when first descried, were about 60
leagues to the West of Cape Finisterre, under a
press of sail. Our gal:Ant Admiral immediately
stood for them with his squadron, in the closest pos-
sible order, and attacked their centre with great im-
petuosity. It was about sp. la. when he first
brought them to aeldm, and about six it became
general, and every slip of the fleet was engaged. It
had been foggy at intervals during the in:intim;
and unfortunately, soon after the c•numericentamt of
the engagement, the fog was so very thicic, that at
times, the gallant Admiral says, it was impossibl4
to see the ship next a-head or a-stern of This,
added to the circumstance of the enemy having the
advantage of the wind, which blew all their smuice
upon our fleet, reduced the advantage which'we
should have derived from our superior skit and
manoeuvring, and prevented the viaut y from beMg
s / complete as it would have been in more fay-lir-
a:tic weather. It war, of course, a confused
engagement, irt. whicit each ship being left in
a great measure to herself, laer success depend-
elf upon the bravery of each respedive crew,
and the talent of each respettive commander
Atter an alioa of between four and five hours, the
gallant Admiral brought his squadron to, for the
purpose of securing the Si. Rafael of 84 guns, and
the Firm of 74, two Spanish ships, which had struck
in the course of the action, having been greatly shat-
tered, and lust a great number of their crews. It
was the intention of Sir Reseal. CA LDR a, as soon
as he had secured the prizes, to endeavour to bring
the enemy again to anion ; and on the Ed, when he
closed his letter, they were in sight to windward.

Such are the particulars of the manly and modest
letter of Vice Admiral CALDER. At ten o'clock,
the stesstance of it was sent by a special messenger
to the Masters of Lloyd's Coffee-house; when it was
read aloud ; the Gentlemen present gave three
cheers. In the mean time, the striCtest secrecy
was preserved at the Admiralty, and it was
not until the return of the Messenger, that
any farther publication of the news took place.
By this cool and cautious con lan of the Admiralty,
much idle rumour and cooseluent frau/idol& traflls
in the funds were prevented. Ina few minutes the
news was extensively circulated, and the public
mind was strongly agitated, with the expellation of
farther accounts. Lloyd's Coffee-house was so
overwhelmed with enquirers, that it became impos-
sible to do any business, and it was found necessary
to refuse, fur a time, all accommodation to the vi
sitors. The Admiralty-yard continued equally
crowded the whole day. The loieign Arobassa•
dors, and other persons of distinftion, in their
carriages, with numerous pedestrians, were con-
y:linty applyirg fir new information the whole day.
Lieut. N:CHOLSOS continued in conversation with
the Lords of the Admiralty during the greater
part of the morning, and at twelve u'clack the coil.

_ ' _

Park and Tower guns fired upon the occasion, sug-
ilesting at the same time his doubts upon such a
proceeding as premature, an not required by the
capture of only two ships. Mr. Pi -r r, we understand,
answered, that under all the circumstances of the
case, and particularly considering how much and
how long the public mind had been agitated by fats',
rumours and alarms, he thought a form, which
would decidedly mark the charader of the event,
was extremely dexiraSle Backed by such au-
thority, the wishes of the Admiralty were im-
mediately communicated to the Earl of CHAT-
HAM, all: Master General of the Ordnance, who
ordered the Park and Tower guns to be fired.
At half-past four the guns were accordingly fired ;
and orderly man belonging to the llth dragoons,

an rty ns,
havink artived at the Admiralty with dispatches
from Lord I: situ about the same time, a report
was immediately circulated, that a second express
had been received from Sir ROBERT CALDER, that
six sail of the line and two frigates had been taken
in a renewed engagement, and that the guns
were fired in honour of this new and still greater
viaory. This report was in general circulation,
rn.l m Any people posted up bills in their windows,
intiouncing this new and brilliant success. We can,
owevev, assiira our readers, that no accounts from
Sir RUB.itT CALI)! It, subsequent to those brought
by Leuteoant NICHOLSON, had been received when
this Paper was put to press. That officer did not
leave the fleet until the 24ith, the second day after
the battle, and, we understand that, at his departure,
Sir Roemer Cs LDOR still remained between the
en •my and the land ; the latter being in a very bad
a id crippled condition, and completely cut off from
a friendly port, without fighting, their way through
our squadron. It further appears, that they had
kept more silo& from our Beet, and could only be
seen by our look-out frigates at the time the F 4.1
came away. Lieut. NicHOLSOI also states that Lord
NELSON was apprised of the aelual destination of the
enemy, and that Sit Roster Ca LOTIt expeCted every
moment to be joined.by that gAlaut Chief. But, sup-
posing the en my to escape, toe victory of the 22d,
considered as the final result of the affair, has been
most fortunate for the glary of England. None but
a British fleet of fifteen sail would date to attack
a fleet of thirty.onr, twenty ships of which were of
the line ; none but a British fl..et could conq ler, with
such a superiority against it. Bomar tiara has
boasted that his fleets can leave port, and return
to it in safety. Sir Roster CALDEa has silenced
that gasconade. Toe Wssd..r Castle, having suffered
much in the :onion, has been sent with the istns
prizes for an English port. Mr. }lona, the Mes-
senger, was sent off last night to Weymouth with
duplicates of the dispatches from Sir Roar. CALM/.
for His M A.ltsT T.

Last night, at nine o'clock, the Duke of Yoeit
set off on a visit to His Mai es or, at 'Weymouth.
During his stay there, he intends to ;tura the differ-
ent Regiments stati fined on that part of the coast.
His Royal Highness purposes returning to ()elands,
on the 16th of August, when the Duchess gives a
grand entertainment to celebrate his birth-day ;
after which, it is expelled, His Royal Highness
will visit the camps and garrisons on the Essex and
