GRAVE.

We have received a series of the Moisiteisr, from
the 17th to the 23d last, and letters from Holland
to the 28th. The former, from which we have
made several extraas, contains no news of import-
ance. Bot. AAAAA e continued at Boulogne on the
19th. The latter would induce us to suppose, that
there is no idea of laying an embargo upon the
Duch ports. A letter from Rotterdam says :
" A Paper is stuck up at our Exzhange, signifying,
that vessels sail every week, fin.a up tor the accom-
mod ition of Passeligers, for Liindon."

The French funds were on the 22d, 61, 20.

The Prinee of Wale, packet, Captain TOOO, WAS
captured o the 14th last, in lat. 43. long. 13. by
the Spanish privateer, Prince de Pair, of 24 guns,
and carried into Vign. The crew (etc-pt Captain
Toon and his steward, who were carried into Vigo
in the packet) were put on board two neutral ves-
sels hound to Hambtirgh ; one of them, on board
of which was the master, surgeon, and 12 men, ar-
rived on Thursday morning at Penzance. On the
'oth, off Cape Finisterre, this Hambnrgh vessel
spoke the Wahingbani packet, all well, with a fine
breeze at E. N. E. The l'ol.nierd p icket was at
Lisbon when the Prince of Want raii.xl from thence.
The Prince de Pair is a fine ship, carries 220 men.
She sailed from Vigo en the 9th last, on a three
month's cruise, and had made no ialier capture.
The passengers by the Planet of Wales, who arc
carried to Vign with Captain Toun, are Mr. and
Mrs. BROWN, and Mr. Glees.

Lord Net.snt4 had a long interview yesterday,
with the Commissioners of the V ianalling-Otfice, at
Somerset House. The square was crowded with
people, ansicus to see and greet the gallant Admi-
ral. His Lordship will enter immediately upon
aftive service. It continues to be thought, as we
stated last week, that he will have the command in
the Mediterranean, including also the Cadiz sta-
tion. The VieWz, his Lordship's flag-ship, will
sail to-morrow—his Lordship will lullow in a

frigate.
Intelligence has been received of the Rochfort
squadron. They first went to Vigo to join the
Combined Fleets, but missing them there, sailed
again.
His MAJESTY'S ships Nearesit, Constance, Raider,
and Avenger, with the outward.bouncl Quebec, Ha-
lifax, and Newfoundland convoys, sailed from Fal-
mouth tm Ftiday.
Our Plymouth letter states, that the Goliath has
captured a French corvette, Le Department des
Landes. and was left with the liniserrabk, in chase of
a frigate, supposed to be the lipase. These arc
two of the squadron that sunk the Blanche in the
West Indies. Our Falmouth Letter adds, that
the Tepare escaped in the night.
The Salle, HAurits; the Bristol, MERRICK ; the
Nestor, LUKE ; the &stuck, Kai. ty ; and the Cfleg-
&renal, hVNICOI t., from Jamaica, are c sptured
by two Spanish privateers, and carried into Cuba.
The Pops, PERCIVAL, from Liverpnol,for New•
foundland, has been taken by a Spanish privateer,
retaken by the MN, rva, of Greenock, and arrived in
the Clyde.
The Mertes, privateer, of Liverpool, is reported to
have been captured by the Combined Fleet, on their
return from Martinique, and burned, and a Spanish
ship, her prize, retaken.
Remittances to an immense amount have been
brought over to our Merchants by the Pomona fri-
gate, recently arrived from Lisbon. Sir FE A ncss
Mantra's house alone has received 100,0001. in
bald cash. _

An Officer of rA,h4N, of R 4 guns, or.c of VI
L LI, Y L'S fleet, infotmed Capt. ST FL LW *OEN, of the
American ship Orland, which vessel he boarded in
lat. 34 40, lo ig. 1;2. 10. on .he 23t1 June, that the
