FRIDAY. Aram. 16.

was reported last night, that a vessel had ar-
rived in the course of L. ,e d.y, at Portsmouth, with
dispatches, wl-dch Crete, that the Combined Fleet
hal dice-led their tsca,ie into Ferrol and Corunna.
From the lateness of the hour at which we received
this account, it was impossible for us to make further
enquiry. It the fa& be so, another engagement,
either general or partial, must have taken place. It
is scarcely possible that the enemy could have en-
tered these ports withou.encomitering Sir RokIERT
CALI)t a, or Admiral STMLIPG. It will also pro.
tbly appear, that the ships lately seen off Cape
t• r.e, were detached as a look out squadron by
t.,e s' ,111..ined Fleet, the main batty of which may
iv; kept aloof in the Atlantic, watching an op-
rtu•iil to make a second attempt to enter Ferrol.

The Hamburgh Mail due on Wednesday, and
..Isn a Gottenburgh arrived last mousing, sad
in the c one of the evening we received French
Papers to the 4th, .rad Dutch Journals to the 10th,
cunt lining the Paris news to the Gth. Bon APARTZ
had arrive) at litiologne on the morning of the 3d
unsaid. He devoted the whole of the 4th to a
review of the jut-Autry encamrsi at that place
amoun.ing in the wnole to 112,000 men. The
inapeution of the cavalry and artillery, no doubt,
occupied his attention during the two follow-
ing days. An atenunt of the engagement between
Sir Roatute CAI Del and the Combined Fleet, is
given in the Dutch Papers of the 6th, as copied
from the English Papers ; but we have not perceived
! any notice t f it, in any of the Paris Papers whieh
we have received It is said, however, that the
Mealiest, of the this instant contains a paragraph,
which says : That even if the Combined Fleet
were defeated and captured, still the Naval exertions
of France must command the Tripe& and excite
the admiration of Europe. She will have redeemed
tlie pledge she made ; she will have proved that
she can send out naval expeditions whenever she
shall please, in spite of the vigilance and maritime

preponderance of the enemy." If the IV/Witt'r ac.
tually contains a paragraph to this effeel, it must
have been inserted for the parpose of preparing the
public mind for the reception of the defeat and dis-
graceful flight of the Combined Fleet.
The Foreign Papers contain no positive and de.
cisive has indicat:ng the near approach of a Con-
tinental w•ar, tun they sufficiently evince doubt,
jealousy, and an hostile feeling. The Archduke
Cu A RLLS was tis set out from Vienna early in this
month, to review the Aust:iat army. The French
troops in Italy, where the first blow may be expea-

..d, amount to 70,000 mcn. The I)utch and Ger-

man Papers are not, however, :.s full of military
movements ss the bustle and aCtivity announced in
some of their late numbers had taught us to expeCt.
The public Prints rec' ivei by the Gottenborgh

Mail are of no juiciest; but some piivate letters

received by that conveyance state, that ete Swc.,
tr.)ops are upon the alert, and thst immediate wit i,
regarded as certain at Stockholm.
