St. Vincent, with four sail of the line ; also the
Aurblrnd and Wel:lag/Sam packets, which were or-
dered to hold themselves in readiness to sail at an
hour's notice. The Portuguese are much alarmed
at the appearance of an English squadron, and more
particularly at the idea of transports being expeCted
with troops; the discount on cash has risen, in con-
sequence, to 21 per cent. His Majesty's ship La-
vinia is sent to cruise off the liar for the transports
expeCted, and which are ordered to come into the
Tagus. None of the Royal Family of Portugal,
or the Secretary of State, have been seen since the
arrrival of this force. Arrived also the Priam
Ernest packet, Petro, with Mails, from Jam +ice, 4'2

safe arrived out ; likewise this day, the Hind cutter.

Came down from the River this morning, the ,

the East Indies ; and a fleet of outward-bound ves-

Arrived this morning the Spitfire sloop of war,
from a cruise—she drove a large French lugger
privateer into Dieppe, and in the night manned and
sent her boats to endeavour to bring her out, in
which bold attempt they did not succeed. The
logger made a desperate resistance, being then full
of soldiers, and under the proteetion of their own
batteries. Several of the Sporfrs% Officers and crew
were killed and wounded ; the slaughter on the
enemy's side is supposed to be great.
