The Nile lugger, of 14 ins, arriv .1 on Thursday
at Plymouth, with dispa,ches from Sir ROBERT
CALDLII. .'hey were received in town on Saturday
morning; :is nq bulletin was sent to Lcovn's,
announcing the subs.ance of the contents, as was
the ease upon the arrival of the dispatches brought
by the Curieux, the Decade, and the Frisk, a general
opinion prevailed, that the advices were unfavour-
able. Some, ind.,cti, think that they may not
have been sufficiently important. to be made the
subjea of such a communication; but wr cannot
oppose that the Nile would have been sent home
without some new informatii n lespeding the proba•
bihty of a second engagement; and, upon a matter
that so much interested the public mind, any new
intelligence must he important. Coupling tbs.' the
reserve of the publ Officts, with the cn
nmuuica-
tions received through private channels, we are io-
dine(' 'n believe, that the dispatches bonight by the
.tre not ca...ulated to encoura.,e a sanguine
hope of a renexal of the eagaTeqs..int. By the
report of the 1 pyp:rogne frigate, which, as we
stand in a fc.r:nsr PAper, left Sir ROBERT
rAt t)ER in tl.. vetting of the 25th, the two
ets were in sight of each ether on the morn-
rig of that day. The disp ..c..es brought by the
. re, see understand, data oft Ferrol, on the •
mooing of the 26th. I .:tten from several ships-et
th-. Meet of the same date have also been receives,
a:,:t though some of them do not mention the cir.'
ct...istance, the general inference deducible from
then. .:11 is that the enemy were out of sight on that
day, -tying, as we conjettred in a former papers .

the letters of the 26th alluded to, one from on board
the Mend, rer, and the other from on board the Rai-
sonabir, are deed the C6th, • ff. Ferrol. Another letter
of the same date says, the fleet were then off' Finisterre
standing to the snuthward, and expelling to join
Lord bletsota ; and a fourth letter from an officer 1
of rank, on board the ride dr Paris, Admiral CORN..
