It is asserted, that two great powers have united
to renew, by a concurrent mediation. the negotia-

order to give longer duration to the peace of the
Continent, and also to reconcile the differences of
the naval belligerent powers.

Lt N I )ON,
FRIDAY, Semmeta G.

The Came/eon brig, of 18 guns, arrived on Wed-
nesday, at l'oi tsmouth, with dispatches from Vice-
Admiral Cot.' INGIWOOD, which were immediately
forwarded to the Admiralty. Their substance was
yesterday communicated to Lrovo's, in the follow-
ing official notice :
" Admiralty-Office, Sept. S.
" Be adviees 'attired this morning, the Combined Fleets
of the enemy remai.nd at Cadiz on the 231 Wt. and the Car-
thacena squadron, in that port, on the lhth of the same
month."
Sir iticmAns BICKERTON, and Admiral KNIGHT,
had, we understand, joined Admiral COLLING-
woun, and he would be funher reinforced on the
25th or 2Gth, by Sir aosstr CALDER. All these
squadrons united, would amount to twenty-eight
sail of the line, seven of which are three-deckers.—
The Combined Fleet in Cadiz had shewn no dis-
position to put to sea, up to the 23d, and, therefore,
unless they made an attempt to escape between thst
period and the 25th, when Sir R. CaLDLa probably
joined, and had succeeded in the attempt, they
may be now considered safe, at least, for a while,
under the lock and key of the blockading fleet. Ad-
miral COLL/NGWOOD has the command off Cadiz,
■t present ; but, we believe, as we have already
stated, that he will be superseded by Lord Net-
sots. His Lordship was confidently expeeted, yes-
terday, at Portsmouth, to go out in the Vitfer,,,
which ship has been, for some days, completely
ready for sea, awaiting his arrival.

The Thane, of 74 guns, arrived early last morn-
ing, off the hie of Wight, with the Jamaica Fleet
under convoy. The following ships, part of the
fleet, had previously arrived in the Bristol Channel,
having patted company on Saturday, is a gale of
wind :
The Zephyr, n 41,110141; John, PrieltharA ; Hercule
Powell ; Jane, Ilanway ; Yriendsh,p, Thomas; Flora, esker;
St. Elisabeth, Dwell ; Trelaivny,T.ll.y ; JAITIZICZ, Walker;
Vulcan, Baker ; AntutGardner ; and the Edward, Powell.

On Thursday, the 29th last, the Fleet in Cnrk
harbour, consisting of nineteen East India ship!,
thirty-eight Tram:ports, with troops, and two Bo-
tany B.sy sbips, convoy of His M
ships, Diadem, Belliquecr, Diomede, Plarourre, and
Leda, got under weigh ; but a thick fog coming on,
interrupted their priogress, and they still remained
there at three o'clock on Friday. We understand,
however, tha the wind and weather having proved
favourable, they sailed on the Slit.

We have received no further accounts of the
Rechfort squadron, but we rn.iy presume that a
British force has been sent in pursuit of it. At all
events, the injury to be apprehended from it is
gie.tly 'educed by the safe antral of our Jamaica
Fleet.

The Narnix, of 36 guns, arrived on "Ctresdl
at Plymouth, with her prize, the Dab.,,
guns, entirely dismasted. The Phew: 11,1 r
lost any of her masts; which may he attiifmn
to La Didoa's m.ik;ng her principal resi,rtm
with musketry. rse Phsnir had 14 men kill:d ir
40 wounded ; amongst whom were the Sec.,,
Lieutenant, ; the Lieutenant of Marines, eh
had died of his wounds ; and two Mi
dangerously wounded in the shnulder. La f 1,,;
hid 2 t men killed, and 40 wounded ; she
most beautiful ship ever seen.

A Gottenbdrgh Mail arrived yesterday, wit)
letters and papers to the 27th last. They state, that
the affairs of Swedish Pomerania are finally settled,
and that a considerable body of Russian troops we'l
on their march to Stralsund, the capital of !bat :el.
ritory. They also state, that a very large Rih, ai
army is assembled on the borders of Prussian Pula d,
and that there are some reports, that hostilities
have already commenced between the Russisa
and Prussian armies. On Tuesday last, wi
stated a report to this effect, grounded upon
letter received from the Continent, upon the pre.
ceding day. The rumours respelling pace or wai

have been so numerous and contradidory, the bet?
authenticated report cannot be received with t
much caution. We were not, therefore, suriaisel
to find the account of aaual hostilities between H'it.
she and Prussia, doubted by some, and disuedited
others. Government, however, we undersw
yesterday received A drices, that the camps at 13.).
logne are all breaking up, and that the troops
marched to the interior. It this intelligence he c
red, it is decisive of a Continental war. 'lle des-,
nation of the troops is, probably, the Rhine. 1; vi
impossible that this movement could be a feint to pat
us off our guard, and facilitate the attempt of inva-
sion. &natal:Ts could not think so meanly of oar
Government, as to suppose it would relax its energy,
for a moment, on that account, or al,Ate iy
vigilance, ur.til it were clearly ascertained, that he
had abandoned all idea of invading this country.
On the contrary, an uncommon degree of aCtivity
prevails at present in the Downs ; a very large fleet
of transports is assembling, and every thing wears
the face of great preparation. Whether this fleet
be destined to carry out British troops, or to bring
over a Ruatiii—arrny, is, as yet, left to conjeflure.
—We have now a' very large fleet at Dungeness,
and off Boufogne, and a considerable force in the
Downs, displaying altogether more than 100 pen.
dams. The Pernceis e.f Orange, that lately sailed for
Sheerness, is to he fitted for the reception ofttoorsk
and will probably be one of the cuovoy to
ports.

The three Hamburgh Nlails, doe on the 25th and
29th last, and the Ist illEgt,t, arrived last evening.
They bring various accounts of military movement!,
but nothing decisive of hostilities. Their contents,
in other revels, are of no importance.

We have received Freoch Papers to the 23th,
and D itch Journals to the Ist instant. The former,
with the exception of an extraordinary N oe upos
M. Maros' Lrzor r's cunduß, in his late pacific mis-
sion, and it: sudden termination, are destitute of in-
telligence of any importance. This curious Paper,
is the present state of the French Press, is as much
the declaration of the French Government, as if it
had appeared in the Alonitear, and affords As sure
a clue to the sentiments of Bon •r • a Tx. The stric-
tures which it contain:, betray hi: resentment against
Russia. The news from Vienna indicates the speedy
approach of hostilities between France and Am.
tria. The Archduke CNA RLIS was to set out from
Vienna for Italy on the 20th of last month, where
a formidable army is assembled. Boa APART, re-
mained at Boulogne on the 24th, but has probably
left it before this, as it was reported, for Strasburghl
