TICE I IP ;.(

LON 1)0.\,
FRIDAY. • Mar A
Information has beea received at the Admiralty,
that the Toulon Fleet, which appeared off Cadiz,
on the 9th April, were no longer there, on the 10th;
and that the number of Spanish ships in the harbour
was diminished. On the 11th and 12th, five sail of
the line, supposed to be Spaniards, were seen beat-
ing to Westward. This intelligence, we understand,
was brought home by the!Beagie, sloop of war, which
arrived oa Tue;day, at Plymouth, with Dispatches
for Government.

It is probable that the Toulon Fleet. having been
j.)ined by at force from Cadiz, Proceeded fir its des-
tination—hut of that there is no ground for con-
jefture.

A letter from Lisbon of the 14th says A cut-
ter has jiist brought intelligence of the arrival of
the Toulon fleet at Cadiz ; it consists of about
twelve sail of the line, be.ides frigates ; the Spaniards
have an equal f (badly manned), ready for sea ;
Sir JOHN Oroe's sqaadron of five sail of the line,
do . ws, at anchor off Cadiz, when the enemy made
their apnearance; but, notwithstanling their superior
streag.h, an.l the advantage of the weather gage,
thy inclinatiqn to come to astion. The
cutter let Sir Jon i 4 ()Hoc oft Cape Sr. Vincent,
waiting for eintinceinents ; a frigare has been dis-
patched after L ir.l N I,sos, who, it is feared, is
gone to thi Mist .v u. •'

Oar Fdmoutn correspondent, however, states,
that Sir JOHbi o.tot's squ.tdron was off Lisbon on
the 14th.

When the ira ,ili.2izant packet left Lisbon, the
fears which had been entertained of Portugal being
firer,: by Fr.tneir to take a part in the war, had, in
some measure, subsided.

The Prinreuaa, Capt M ter 0.4, arrived off Dover,
