PrEPORTED VICTORY IN THE MEDITEREANEAN.
Letters from Plymouth, received last night, con-
tain the important intelligence that the Toulon
Vleet, having put to sea, with several thousand
troops on board, was overtaken by Admiral
THORNBOROUGH, when a general action ensued, in
which the enemy were defeated with the loss of six
sail of the line, and an immense number of men.—
We have only to add, that at a late hour last night
Government had received no advices from Admi-
ral THORNBOROUGII.

_ a of the French and Rhenish troops moving
towards • , of Poland.—And also the circuisitance of
so many of the French Generals having been ordered to Paris-0
NIASSZNA, IVIORTIZR, JUNOT, Nov, and others—Generals
who world have been kept in Spain, if their services had not
been wanted elsewhere. To all these facts we must unite the
important omissions in BUONAPAIIi•E'S Speech—the omission
of the mention of Russia—the rage he vents against us in en,
deavouring to stimulate other Powers against France, and the
doubtful indecisive manner in which he speaks of the continu.!
ance of peace upon the Continent.

ACTION BETWEEN BRITISH AND AMERICAN
VESSELS OF WAR.

The origin of the cuntest between the Little Belt
and the American frigate President, is yet involved
in obscurity, no official documents have hitherto
been made public. The Duke of Montrose packet
are at Falmouth, on Tuesday last, bringing, it
is said, Captain BINGIIAM'4 account of the aff4r ;
but it Las not yet reached ;is. We give in another
part of our paper some port letters, and an extract
from the Nava Scotia Gazette, which concur in,
stating, that the American gave the first offence,
and that Capt. BINGUAM never struck his flag.
It is asserted that the President had been sent in
search of a British frigate, with orders to tale away
by force some Americans whom she was stated to
have impressed, or to bring her captive into some of
the United States' harbours. Commodore Roczus.,
it appears, was so deeply impressed with a sense of
the danger,- attending his enterprize, that he lao.
sooner beheld the British flag flying, than fear
magnified the little brig which bore them into a
frigate ; and it was not until lie had received the
fire of our little vessel, during three-quarters of an
hour and found she would not strike, that his eyes
were opened, and having suddenly perceived the
dispatity of force, he sent his Lieutenant to apolo;
gize for having engaged an English vessel so in-
ferior to his own ! That he must have known her
to be an English one is clear enough ; for with
what other country is America in a state of 4is-
pute, since she ostensibly considers the Berlin and
Milan Decrees as repealed ? That he did not con:
ceive her to be of such inferior force is some. proof
that he was looking out for a larger vessel, and.
confirms the account contained in the Falmouth
letter, that lie was sent in quest of La Gtieri iere, iii
order to take out of her the seamen which she was
before supposed to haVe impressed frOm an gl-iO.
rican ship.
Captain BINGIIAM is understood to have declined
the Americen Commodore's offers of assistance
after the battle, though the Little Belt Was so shat'-
tered, that it became necessary to conduct her first
to Bermuda, where she had her masts fished; after
which she proceeded to Halifax, where she arrived
on the day mentioned in the former accounts, in
