envoy of the Nfbisisy'sertirid (sag ship), Canada,
Elephant, Agnmemn,m, and iflerf. The two latter

Cochrane had teen them so tar on their passage as

vision of ttanspotts at this port.
It is supposed, that the dispatches received from
Admiral Cochrane,
_by the Vigilant, merely state
the sailing of the homeward-bound convoy, for
England. that drips might he dispatched to prated
them up Channel, should it be deemed necessary.
As Government were previously acquainted, that
the convoy were on the roint of sailing, no doubt
Admiral Louis had orders to look out for them, as
well as to intercept Jerome Bonaparte's squadron.
It may yet be a fortnight or three weeks before the
convoy will arrive, the ships being so numerous.

Eastward ; Tisiphone, and Sniquard, (rim the
