expeditions rendered imperiously necessary), ere gat under

their return. We an with most earnestly for their appearance,
as well for patriotic motives, as the desire of some short mica-
tion of fatigue, which the.e Frenchmen have caused us (more
harrassing than the task of thrashing them), by their hair.
bleat!' 4 srapes from our fangs.
Ti, Doug seem as b.,sp as ever with their gun boats;
thew suit about a dozen shot at Old Braille, one of which went
nv..r the Victory; but the ridiculous attempts of these de-
graded anal abused aline; of the proud Corsican, only excited the
laughter of our brave Tars."

The Funds yesterday suffered a slight depression,
not owing altogether, as some suppose, to the alarm
of invasion, but to the certainty of a Continental
war, and the consequent drainage of the specie
from this country to pay the different subsidies.
Indeed we are informed, from good authority, that
the first payment is now on its way to the Continent.

A dispatch WA‘ yesterday received at the Admi-
ralty from Admiral Comm azzis, which states, that,
en the night of the Bth inst 25 leagues off Ushant,
the Naiad frigate, of 38 guns, Capt. DUND fell in
with an enemy's squadron, consisting of tour sad of
the line, one of which was a 3-decker, four ft igates,
and three brigs. The whole squadron chased the
Naiad, and two of the frigates brought her to a6ion,
one of which engaged her cur some time within
pistol-sh The Naiad, Imwzver, beat them both
off, and e::.'ted her escape to the Channel Fleet,
under Admiral CORNWALLIS, which she joined
nest day. From the inform ttinn which she gave
the gallant Admiral, lives arc eaertainecl that the
measures which he has taken for their capture will
prove successful. This is probably the squairm that
escaped from R,ichefort during the late tertipotal y
intermission of the blo:kaele of that port, by Ad-
miral S rieziran, and the same seen by the P.:ek! e,
off Cape Finisterre, on the 3.1, and also by a Por-
tugueze, according to en^ report of the M. a hero
brig, mentioned in our payer on Frid.ty I rte It
was then supposed that the squadron were cruising
in that quarter with a view to intercept the home,
ward-bound Oporto fleet. A report preceded lau
!light that Admiral Comma ILIS had fallen in with
the Combined Fleet, but it probably originated in
the arrival of his dispatch, communicating the in,
formation received from the Na4l.

6. I was surprised to hear that any offic-r who had
seen the skirmish between the British And Combined
Fleets, and who was sufficiently coul to notice the
superior advantage our enemy had over us, should
attempt to censure the condusff of our Commander.
I wits quartered nn the lower deck, and had ioily an
opportunity of remarking his conduit in one instance:
The Prima qf Wales. during the hottest past of the
aaion, was nearest to us, and it is to his spirited
candun that cc ascribe the safety of our ship, and the
comparatively small number of men wr had klled.
some of the enemy's line of battle, seeing tlfit the
ship was totally unmanageable, bore up to rake us;
but Sir R. CA EDEN gallantly beat them off, and
preserved us ; if he had left us and the two prizes to
proceed by ourselves, their having so many, would
easily hive enabled them to cut us off. I cannot
but think that he has done all a brave man could
do."

But yet, while mild milk fur the babe we are boating,

For English roast beet we're in d-tit to the CM.
