signal, said to be returning into the river, not having been able
to double Mammusson. A signal was also made for two largo
frigates, having the French colours flying at the main and
mizen-masts, with a blue flag at the top-mast. Boats were these
sent off to these two vessels, Supposed to be French, but the
pilots did not return. At night the frigates anchored at Point
de Grave, and put up lights. In this state of things, one could
have no suspicion in respect to these ships, nor presume they
were enemies.

" On the 25th, at seven in the morning, they set sail, and
manceuvred to reach Verdon. M. DUBOURG, Commander of
the corvette Le Pluvier, then went in his boat to go on board
the frigate having the Commandant's pendant. Soon after the
two frigates sailed towards the Teazer and Pluvier. OIL
reached the Tcazer, shot away her topmast, and commenced a
brisk fire, yard-arm and yard-arm; the other directed her
course for the Pluvier, which was anchored near Point Vau+
Here; this corvette quickly made sail to get Into Royae, which„
she happily executed.
" The frigate let go two anchors, and cannonaded her two
hours without effect. Messieurs. PAGE, SAINT VAAST, and
BOURDEN, and Al. CHUTIIN, principal Surgeon, are prisoners.
The two frigates are still near Cordowau.

tensive details. I will have the honour of sending you to-mor-
row a more circumstantial report upon all these inconceivable
events. I have the honour, &c.

The Toulon fleet, we find, has been taking any.
ther trip for a few miles to sea, and is said to have
chased the British fleet off the harbour. Admiral
EMERJAU) however, soon returned to the protec.
tion of his batteries.

The French papers have published, with seeming
exultation, the Turkish account of the successes over
the Russians : they state that they beat them near
Rudschuck ; that three days afterwards they attack-
ed*them again, and forced them to retire within
Rudschuck. On the 4th of July they attempted to
storm Rudschuck, but failed. The Russians, how-
ever, evacuated the place, and the Turks took pos-
session of it. The Russians have now no footing on
the right bank of the Danube. The Grand Viziet
is preparing to storm Giurgowa.

Tuesday, a Mail arrived from Lisbon, by which
we have received intelligence to the 19th ultimo.
The French head-quarters continued at Placentia.
On the 12th, Lord Wellington reconnoitred Ciudad
Rodrigo, with General Slade's brigade of cavalry
and the light division ; but this demonstration was
not followed by any movement on the part of the
enemy. Ciudad Rodrigo is said to be provisioned
for three months, and the garrison is understood to
consist of one thousand six hundred infantry and
some cavalry. The reinforcements expected by the
French army do not exceed eighteen thousand men;
a number certainly very inadequate to supply the
~
waste of the destructive war in Spain. The Spanitie i'
