Another account stilt irs, that leveresl sail of Trans.
ports, with troopr hots (:s sitar, were captured
by the French fleet, which, site keeping possession
of them several days, suffered them to proceed ; the
French lint wishing to he encumbered with troops.
It is impossible to r..sist so much evidence of the
actual existence of a French fleet at sea. The
difference in the acconnts respecting the number r f

.
ships, does not invalidate them. This may be rit
sily accounted for; by supposing, that the fleet se-
para:ed after it left Brest, and formed into two
divisions. The squadron of seven sail of the line,
and four frigates, may be destined fit. the West
Indies. The greater division of twenty sail of the
lime, which fell in with the vessels frcas Gibraltar,
is probably destined for Cadiz, or the Mediterra-
nean. If it be the Brest fleet, to that amount,
which has escaped from port. Admiral r -011.NUILL.
LIS is, no doubt, is pursuit of them.

The body of Lord Netsom was, on Monday
morning, taken from the Vanity, and placed on
board the Chatham yacht, under the direttion of
Commissioner Goal', at Sheerness, which pro-
ceeded immediately on her way to Greenwich. All
the vessels, while the yacht was passing, hoisted
their colours half-mast high ; and the fort on both
sides the river, at Tilbury and Gravesend, fired

minute guns. Many of the vessels also paid the
same honourable tribute of respell to the corpse of
our Naval Chieftain.

At half past eleven, on Monday morning, Com-
missioner Gary's yacht, of Sheerness, and not the
Victory, as we stated yesterday, having on board the
body of the ever-to•be-lamented Lord Net.
passed by Gravesend. The coffin, coveted with .it
ensign, was placed nn the deck. As soon as the
yacht was descried, the cohmrs of the ships and forts
were lowered htlf mast. The bells were tclled,
and afterwards rung a mated pe.d. The wind WAS
scanty and unfavourable.

Yesterday, anon after three o'clock, Lerd CAST t. it •
REAC' had an audience of the Duke of Yo«ti, at
his Office, in the Horse Guards, and continued
with His Royal Highness a consider ible time. After
which, the Duke -held 2 public day, and saw a
number of military Officers.
No intoiligeace whatever reached town, yester-
day, from the Continent ; hat. as the wind has come
round to the Northward, we hope very soon to have
it in our power to lay before our readers a confirma-
tion of the intelligence received.' ist week of the Vic-
tory obtained by-the Allied Army.
The Madras Fleet (B ming; Lord lineker3,trii,
Airteri Cartic, Dale of Moorage, act ) were expeties"
to sail ffom thence the latter end of September, or
the beginMog of Oflober, at farthest.
The Bengal Fleet. recently Arrived, on their pas-
sage. fell in with His Majesty's ship Wraelaeina, off
Coeinia Bay, from whom they learned that Mar-
quis Co aflW A I.L is, with his suite, arrived at Madras,
on the lath July, is the Medusa frigate. after a
fine voyage of &fee months and four days. His
Lordship was not ettletted to proceed for Bengal
for eight or ten days.
Marquis Wer.t.Lst.tir was expened to leave
Bengal early. His Majesty's frigate None, com-
manded by Capt. Cocsauss, was fitting for his re-
ception.
His Majesty's ship Sceptre, of 71 guns, with the
St. IttOrf*2lo frigate, were cruising off Vizagapatarn
in July, in expeetation of falling in with the Marengo.
Admiral Li sots, and the Belle Pear frigate.
Sir Eowann Pesaew had made such a judicious
distribution of his force in the Bay of Bengal, that
the country ships were able to proceed to sea in
safety *idiom convoy.
The Bengal fleet, after leaving the Ganges, ex-
perienced very tempestuous weather, which had re-
tarded their passage some weeks; happily they met
with no accident during the gale.
The Hat-mono. WitAoN, from London, for De-
merara, is put into Plymouth, with considerable
damage.
The Mars, Mirciictr.„ from Liverpool, with
100 slaves on board, is captured in the river Gam-
bia.

The re sloop, from V •almouth, for the safety of
which considerable apprehensions were entertained,
is arrived' at Plymouth.
By the Katt lndiaman lately arrived from St
Ileletra, we have received intelligence that the
Lir,i,b, (we believe her name to be) South het
Whaler, had been cast away in) avi uninhabited
island to the eastward of the Cape of Good Hope,
hut fortunately all the crew were saved ; the wea-
ther being afterwards moderate, gave them time,
by great exertions, to preserve the greatest part of
her stores, and all her boats. Oa exploring the
island, they found some huts that had recently been
eretted, which they conceived had beer built by
Americans, from their fashion. The preservation
of their boats had enabled them to catch plenty of
fish. on which they subsisted. Besides, by prose-
cuting the fishery, it was enpeeted that they would
be able to procure a sufficient quantity of oil, ready
to load any vessel that should proceed to the island
to bring them to their native country : we under-
stand that the ship's company were its g .nd health,
and pursued the fishery at all times when the wea-
ther permitted ; the best order arid discipline had
prevailed since they had been cast away. This
misfortune will, in all probaLitlity, if proper:), at-
tended to, tend to the ' 'refit of the SOUtil Sea
fi,h,rr, as :4 Wept,/ Of et •i . may be provided to
t..rry on the 6,:lery during die voyage of a ship to
Cris cr.iirrafry ; which, being immediately fitted out
again with the requisite necessaries for the esta-
blishment, may he provi led with a cargo to return,
which would ultumately bring the article to market
at • much len espenoe.than is in general expe-
rienced.
