On the 24th of February, the Commander in

of Bhurtpore; and his Excellency is prepared to
recommence operations against that place as soon
as he shall have received supplies of stores and am-
munition, which are advancing towards the army

Copy of a Letter from Ca:itain Mudge, of His Majesty's tatit
Ship Blanche, to Williom Marsden, Esq. dated on board
the French Ndtiunal Ship ToLiaae, 22.1 Jule, 11105.
R.. 4 am sorry to inform you of the loss of His
Majesty's ship Blanche, which was captured by a
French squadron, as per margin t ; but, tha• k
God, she was not destined to bear French colours,
or to assist the fleet of the enemy.
On Friday morning, July in lat. 20 deg.
20 min. N. long. fib deg. 'l4 min. W. (weather
hazy) at eight, four sail were seen off the weather
Cat-head, three ships, and a brig on the opposite
tack, fin fer easy sail. I kept to the wind until we
were near enough to distinguish colours. 1 then
made the necessary signals to aw:ertain whether
they were enemies. At ten, when a-breast, about
three miles distant, they all bore up, and hoisted
F.nglish ensigns ; hut, from the make of the union,
and c lour of the bunting, with other circumstances,
I concluded they wets French, and therefore deter-
mined to sell the ship as dearly as possible (for sail.
ing ws out of the question, the Bla-,..ne having
little or no copper on these last Line months, and
sailed very heavy). Having brought to, ssitle the
mainsail in the brails, at elce-en the Commod,le
ranged up within two cable's length, shifts.. his co-
lours, and gave us his broadside. %V:teu within
pistol shot she received oar's ;—the aftion
warm and steady, the ships never without hal et
each other, running large, under easy sail— Le Dt
partement des Landes on the starboard - rte-,
and the two corvettes dose at vent. . -five
minutes past eleven the ship be 1-ne ung •
anJ was reduced to a perf.B v tack ; the sails to-
tally c ..roved, ten stet it. tiie foremast (eepeEting
it to fail ev.ry :nir.ilti), the maiumast :sod rigging
cut to pieces, seve guns dismounted, and t!. crew
reduced to one hundred and ninety, and the rest
falling fast, with no probability of escape, I tailed
a council of officers for their opinion, who deemed
it only sacrificing the lives of the remainder of as
brave a crew as ever fought, to hold out loagee, as
there was not the smallest proped of success, I
therefore, re: twelve, ordered the colones to he
struck. and was immediately hurtled on board the
Commoddre. At six, the officers, who had charge
of the Blanche, returned turd reported the ship to
be sinkirg fast, on w:hca she was fir. d ; and, in
about an-haur after, she sunk, for the m.tg :zinc had
been some time under water.
Thus, Sir, fell the Blanche. and I trust, the de-
fence made by her officers and gallant crew will
meet their Lordships approbation.
I have the honour to bo, kc. Z Act' ARV 11tl:DC2.

THE BRITISH PRESS.

U)NDON,
MONDAY, Avovsr 26.

No accounts have beta received, since Friday, of
the Combined Fleet. it is the genend opinion, that
they were putting to 'ea, and not going into Ferrol,
when seen, upon the 19th instant, by the Iris.
Their destination is mere matter of conjeaure.
They are probably gone to the Mediterranean. As
we supposed, the report of their having been seen by
the Naiad, upon the 14th, nearly in the same position
in which they were left on the preceding day, is un-
founded. A 3 they had, at least, five days the start
of Sir Roar CA LDER,we have no right to cherish
a sanguine expenation that he will be able to over-
take them. In the mean time, great exertions
are making to supply the deficiency in the Channel
Fleet, occasioned by the detachment sent from
it, in pursuit of the enemy. The Waldrop Castle, of
9S guns, and the Coptaig and Audacious, of 74 guns,
have sailed to join Admiral Conrsw sttts. At Ply-
mouth, the San Josef, of 110 guns, is nearly ready,
and will sail without delay. The Loa. a, of 98
guns, and the Malta, of 84 guns, are getting their
rigging over-hauled ; and, at Portsmouth, the Vic-
tory, of 100 guns, with the Ildlona,Snturn, Hero, and
R•-•• Ise, of 74 guns, will be dispatched in the course
us a few days.

ric intercepting of our homeward bound LA-
:mai:a. or Leeward Island convoys, has been stated
as one of the probable objeas of the Combined
Meet, in putting to sea again on the 13th instint.
Our Weymouth 1. Lter announces the arrival of ne
of th... t!,at har,,,nsi, on Thursday last.
We ar,Ft..!tenti that this is a mistake. Our Poi ts-
moir.h of yzst:,r,lay does not mention the ar-
rival of either of these conveys.

General, transmitting the accou-ts. in which he says,
The Commander in Chief expresses a contiiert
hope of °Liu; mg possessicas of r: urtpore before the
conclusion of the season for ye and miliary
operations in that quarter of India"
The Casette contains Capt. Munoc's account of
the gallant aftian fought by the Blanche frigate.—
The bravery of a British crew, although unsuscess-
fill, was never more brilliantly displayed.—The
Blanrhe carried 36 guns; the squadron whit.. she
engaged carried 100; her crew consisted of 184
efeftive men ; the aggregate of the crews of the
enemy's squadron amounted to 962 men. The Ga-
zette also communicates the capture of the Fantle

French ',rig, not Faint., as mentioned in this and
some :they Papers, one of the above squadron
which sunk the Blanche.

The old rumour of an embargo in the Dutch
ports, was revived on Saturday by the alarmists. It
WAS refuted, however, b 7 the arrival of papers and
letters to the 19th, framll.md. They state, that
the Dutch fleet is still in the Texel ; but, according
to all accounts, in readiness for sea; the troops em-
bartzed amount to 16,509 men ; those at Hi lvnet
were reviewed on the 12th : trey have a numerous
train of artillery, and it is generally supposed are
destined for the East Indies. Several fresh batta-
lions are on their route from different garrisons for
the c .np at Zeist, from which draughts are to be
ma : to reinforce the army in Hanover.

The cuscussions which were carrying on between
TALLIVRAND and Count coacurzet. :lave, we are
assured by private letters from Paris, assumed a
very angry aspeß. A war v. ith Austria and Russia
is considered inevitalde, and the assemblement of
troops on the Rhine rr.l in Savoy bespeak its early
commencemmt.

A dri.::4l Mac Elt has been respited till December,
when Their Ilium Mic tart NESSoh, meet again.
It is stated in the Dutch PApers, under date of
Cenanna, 17:h July, that there were there Ahd at
Fermi, 10 Spanish ant French sail of the line, and

t fitgates,reaily for set:.-an embargo 'then prevailed
along the Spanish coast, in that neghbourhood.

Letters brought by the Gottenburgh Mail on
Friday night, were delivered on Saturday. They
state, that the defeat of the Combined Fleet, on the
Sid of July, had excited the most lively joy
throughout Sweden.

A Russian Corps, the I uce of which is variously
stated, was, it is said, on the 30th of July, on its
march towards Austrian Poland.

It was reported on Saturday, upon the authority
of letters said to have been received from Dover,
that neatly the whole of the Boulogne flotilla had
come out of that harbour, with the troops on board,
for the purpose of carrying the menace of invasion
immediately into effe3. 'We always conceived that
not one quarter of the flotilla could come out at one
tide. As further evidence of the falsehood of the
rumour, Rear-Admiral DOUGLAS returned on Fri-
day from his station off Boulogne, to Dungeness,
with a part of his squadron, consisting of the Leo-
pard, 7 roan, Vesta, Vulture, Explosion, Alert,
Wrangler, and Firm.

A report generally prevailed yesterday, that His
Royal Highness the Duke of Gcotrcisx Ea had ex-
pired in the course of the morning. We are assured,
however, that His Royal Highness, though very
ill, was alive at nine o'clock last night. The re-
port •f his death, we believe, partly originated in a
request from his house to delay the departure of the
Royal Mail for Weymouth. As soon as this cir-
cumstance was known, the delay was supposed to
have been sought to afford an opportunity to com-
municate the ungrateful intelligence in the proper
form.

Mr. PITT came to town on Saturday evening,
and dined with the Russian Ambassador, Count
Woltol4ZOlr.

Yesterday se'nnig:.t, His ?shiest v'i slip

A Russian Corps, of 44,000 mew, is stated to be

advance into Italy.
The Diqrate4 of yesterday, states, that 36 trans-
ports are to be immediately colleaed at the Ncre, for
the purpose of bei.ig sent off to Russia, for the con-

already arrived at the place of rendezvous.
A letter from St. Hillier, in Jersey, dated the

to the Manager to inform him they should

THEATRES. •

At an early hour on Saturday evening the ave.
t.
nu.:s to every part of the rheatre were
,crowded
nn excess. Impatience to behold once more the
focinating Mrs dix v vs could alo;m induce 1.
roan! people of fashion to endure, far several hours
vial extreme beat and pressure. At length the
do“ri were upen=d, and a severe strugkle for
Precedence ensued. The besieging army was
so numerous, the vanguard alone found 'accomrio-
,hal within the fortress. The centre and rear
were shirt out, and ohiiged to seek benefit'where. The play, which was fors the of MYs.
Ilsatows, was Mr. CHERRY'S popular Comedy,
541.1 it Daughter. In the scene in the first as
s. Midfixt and Young Ileartall, Mrs.
Mots, in the chara6ler of the former, alarmed by
the not c and hustle of the night, and overcome
ssit'i the heat, fainted away in Mr. Exusron's arms.
dhe promptitude and presence of mind displayed by
EtAlsruis, upon accidental interruptions of
k;.,3, did not forsake him upon the present
oc-
So Totting the fainting Lad uPon his left
a•nr and erending his right to the audience, he
thus addressed them:—

N 1.0',1 a.%cl Gentlemen--Mrs. Mara has been taken es-
rtinilic I:l,if !MU Will permit the curtain to drop for a moment,
d dal be a great Mean.; of restming he.."
This request was instantly assented to, and the
curtain was dropped for about five minutes ; after
which the Ladv made her re-appearance nearly reco-
vered. The difficulty of obtaining admission, and
tnis interruption, only served to increase the ecstacy
which the andience were de tined to feel in the ensu-
ing scene,when the well-known voice of their favourite
TWA!, in the charadler of the Widow Clieerly, was
firstheard. Upon her entrance, every countenance
beamed with delight, every tongue murmured her
praise. The burst of,
applanse which greeted her,
was loud, prolonged, and repeated several times.
We never witnessed such enthusiasm in an audience.
At length the piece was sufFcred to proceed, and ex-
perienced no farther interruption ; except from the
plaudits which accompanied this inimitable ailress.
The gay and affable Widow Chserly never appeared to
more advantage. In the scene with Mrs. Molforts
when she says, " I am told I have a facility of cre-
ating pleasure wherever I go," the audience, apply-
ing the words of the part to the allress, testified the
truth of the observation, by the loudest plaudits that
ever shook the walls of a theatre. 1 he enthusiasm was
universal; and the other performers catching the spirit
of the night, exerted themselves with extraordinary
success. Mr. DOWTON'S GOWelOr /le.lenll4 and Mr.

to hiss at this passage, but their opposition was over-

Serwie then took out a tobacco-box, and flung it at

accompanied with some appropriate observations,
