Mr. FJ2 was re-elected yesterday for Westmin-
ster; and, in the evening, there was a grand din-
ncr at the Crown and Anchor, in honour of the
occasion. An account of both these events is
given in our subsequent columns. It was nct
expeciled that Mr. Fox would broach, upon either
occasion, any particular subject of politic-. A few
gener.ll observations are all that would have been
consistcne with his present situation. The only
new measure glanced at, in the course of the day,
was included in Mr. Fox's toast, after dinner, of
te Lord St. Vincent, and success to him in hit com-
mand." It has been reported, for several days, that
his Lordship is to take the command of the Channel
Fleet, rite Admiral CORNWALLIS, and the above
toast, coming from Mr. Fox, is a decided confirma-
tion of the Amour. Admiral DUCILWORTM is to
be second in command under Lord Sr. VusctMr.

from Plym.:uth, in the irglle da P VI., with the If:-
L.7mA and Ads lle, to resume his station off Brest.

No further accounts have yet been received re.
spsfaing the enemy's fleet, supposed to be in sight
of one of our squadrons. It seems probable, that
it must have been rather some of our own Nu/-
thous than the enemy's, as intelligence would have
been received of them before this, had any thing of
importance taken place.
