West, with whom they exchange certain English
manufactures, adapted to the India trade, for furs
of great value; and ever whom. by this commerce,
they have an ascendancy of a commanding nature, so
meth so, that Mr. K. being alone, was advised to
pass as an Englishman,for his vilely, as some tripes
through which he was to pass, were disposed to go
to war with the United States. Mr. K. however,
met with no difficulty, without pretising tins hu-
miliating dissimulation, preferring to hazard his life
than to differ from himself. Mr. K. after spending
one month at St. Lewes, descended the Miss;inippi

SIR ROI3FRT C. 4 ',DER'S ACTION.
on rmi Y21:0 JULY.
We have been favoured with a letter, dated Vigo
B.y, July 48, and written by an Officer of high
rank, in the Spanish division of the Combined Fleet.
Although the date be old, the letter derives an in-
terest, from the circumstance of the aaion alluded
to. being at this moment the subjeft of judicial in-
sluiry. it states, that the Spanish ships suffered
very mute, and would all have been taken, had it
not !nett for the timely assistance liven them by the
Pluton, whoge brave Captain, L:01111:110, must be
exempted Tom the general charge of cowardice, so
justly brought against the others; that the whole of
the 231 of July passed in a state of uncertainty ;
and that it was not till late in the evening of that
.lay, that Villeneuve sent notice to the several Corn. '
manders, id his intention to renew the engagement
on the morrow: a very material circumstance,
which is in diret opposition to the assertion in the
official accounts, " that the 23d was spent in un-
,sailing exertions to overtake the English fleet ;"
that they herd at the SAMe time, of the Firm aid
the San Ropri, having fallen into the hands of the
enemy; thong's so late ae the oth, the Commander-
in.Coief " could not yet trlid.ts• and how these ships
happened to be missing," that the conduet of the
Ftench division in the ietion, was a disgrace to
their nation; that they hurried the Spantards into
an engagement, and, after exposing them to the
must imminent danger, left them to shift for them-
selves. Here the wt iter confidently appeals to the
French themselves, to hear witness to the condua
of his countrytn-n, place in the van, with six ships

which were ex usted by excess ye hsonur, hunger,

silver, found on board a rich Span's', ship, recap-
turt'd by the Combined Fleet, bad been conveyed
on hoard Villeneuve's flag ship. as well as the re-
mainder of he, cargo; and. finally, that the French
