INTELLidENCE.
POITIMOUT AUO. 30.
Bailed, the Forls"ee frigate, with a convoy for the
Downs.—Wind S. W.
PLYMOUTH, AUO. 48.
Yesterday, the Telegraph brought .iatelligence
for the Expeditions to be detained till further orders.
In the evening. a King's blessonger arrived, with
dispatches of considerable importance, which he de-
livered to Admiral G. Young, on board the Windsor
Cat*, at seven o'clock. where Sir J. Thomas Duck-
worth had given a ball to about seventy ladies, and
the Admirals and Captains of the Fleet. The latter
were ordered instantly on board their respedlive
' ships, and to disembark what troops were on beard
(those of the line), which was accomplished last
night and this morning, and to proceed to sea ins-
mediately • that Jerome Bonaparte, on his return
from the West Indies, had fallen in with, and cap-
sured the Newfoundland Fleet, and a frigate, and
was left off Cape Clear, with seven sail of the line.
This intelligence created an uncommon bustle on
shore ; as also on board the Windsor Castle. The
ball broke up—the ladies lost their beaus—and it
was late this morning before th. 4 all got on shore.
The ships in the Bay guying disembarked their
troops, weighed anchor this morning, and endea.
vcitireii to get oat, but the wind blowing East of
South, obliged them to come-to again.
Free o'Ciari.—The wind being a little more fa-
vourable, the squadron of seven ships of the line is
jest got under weigh, viz. Canapes, danger, Reprise,
Malta,. Captain, Threes, and Bellerefrlon ; keristaawe
frigate, and Zing's fisher sloop of war.
Sailed the lath:fats:elle privateer, on a cruise.

Arrived the American ship Aberdeen, Captain

thence on or about the 25th ult. under convoy of
His Majesty's ship Champlain, 24 guns, Captain
Bromley, and on she 16th inst. in lat. 46. So. long.

•Providence ; and the Allire, Carr, from St. Kitt's,
which were also destroyed on the 17th instant.—
The Veteran fell in with the American ship Alert,
from Norfolk, bound to Amsterdam, on board of
which were put the above Captains; and, on the 18th,
the Alert fell in with the Aberdeen, when Captain
Morgan kindly took them on board, being bound
to an English port. On the 24th instant, the Aber-
deen spoke the American ship America, the Captain
of which said, that, on the 22.1 instant, he saw a
line of battle ship under a press of sail, steering
E S.E. and which they have no doubt was the
Veteran; also arrived the armed ship Hamilton
Moore Cwt. Cobb, from London.
