TNI COMBINED FLEAT.

Captain Bt CKWOOD, Of the Earyatur frigate,
of 36 guns, art ived yesterday morning at half past
ten o'clock, at the Admiralty, with dispatches, an-
nouncing the escape of the Combined 11-et. The
EftePtilur had heen sent from Cork to Lord NELSON,
but missing him, proceeded to Admiral C01.1.1N0
vi.oori. off Cadiz. The enemy, to the :imou:lt of
27 or 28 sail of the lire, and several frigates, appear-
ed off that port, on the 20th. Admiral Co Lta so.
woota's squadron consisted ef 4 sail ot the line. Of
course, he could not venture to meet a force so
greatly superior. The enemy having chased him in
vain for some time, gave up the pursuit, and went
into ('adiz upon the same day. As soon as the
enemy had got in, Admiral CoLLteowoon re-
turned his station, bat with a large offing, in
view, however, of Cadiz, and sent away the
/au tides with intelligence of this event. On the
14th, the Eurvalus, on her passage home, fell
in with Sir ROBERT Car.OLßs Fleet, about 20
leagues of Cape Sr. Vineitnes. and communi-
cated these particulars. Shortly after the arrival of
Capt. Bt. A CKWOOD at the Admiralty, the following
aDtice was sent to LLO Vl).s:

"ADMIRALTY-0111!{, IBM 2

*ilk a divatch rereived this morning Irons Vice•Adm.ral
lingwood, elated the 21st ult. off Cadiz, it arrears, that on the
prece.liog lay, the enemy's flirt, convicting of twenty.seven or
twenty-eight sail of the line, with several frigates, entered that
bachelor, after ineffectually chasing the %mall squadron under
the VI A.-A• in:tars command. On the 24th, the Euiyalo‘,
by which the 11i5p,44:1% w 04 trail:molt-4, fell in with Sir Robert
Caldeee slualion, twenty leagues N. W. of Cipe St. Vi:icent's,
to whom the intelligimui was communicated."

From this intelligence. we may confidently pre-
sume, that Admirals Causes and Cottrtrowooo
formed a junaion on the 22.1, and are now blockad-
ing the enemy in Cadiz. Their united force is per-
feiftly adequate to the purpose, as it would amount
to 24 sail of the line. A second express arrived
yesterday at the Admiralty, within less than two
hours after the arrival of Captain BLACKWOOD,
staihrg, that the Combined Fleet had sailed again
from Cadiz. Had intelligence to this effeil been re-
ceived, we think that it would have been communi-
cated to the City, through the same channel as the
sews brought by Captain Ilt.aczwoon. It is,
however, very probable, that the Combined
Fleet are ultimately destined for the Medium.-
rauean. Admiral Firccearoa was at Gibraltar,
with six sail of the line. The escape of the
Combined Fleet is certainly a subjeft of great
regret. We have, however, reason to he thankful,
that our rich fleets from the East and West Indies
Pe escaped their fangs. Some of the Jamaica
have already arrived, and the safe arrival ni

others may be anticipAted with cor.fitienee. The
