fallen in with and defeated the French fleet.

No official confirmation bas yet been received of
the assertions of Admiral Coen,' ASt having ar-
rived in the West Indies, or of Lord Newts
having passed the Streights.
The statement of the 'l'reaty between this coun-
try and Russia having been ratified is not correct.

charged the parties. Mr. Coreurrous, the Magis-
