AstxtovA,. 173. 4.--Since Sunday morning
1a t, four of our London Fleet have arived at ditre-
sent ti.nes; the PriPtce George, FIZZY ; dugusta,
DiusDALE ; Lord Barham, PAwLus ; and a store-
ship. The reports. brought by these Vessels,.
concerning the remainder of the Fleet, have
occasipued very serious apprehensions for its 'gaiety.
They sailed from the Mot her Bank the igth. of. De-
ember, under convoy of the flstree Frigate Ainl two
Sloops of Wit*, and were overtaken by a aieryisevetts:
gale in the Bar of ,Biscay, which, ..toge,Oter,,With
other.causes,..eftoed an alinost general dispersion of
the Fleet by the btgittuilfg of last month. -On the

they .losf-Bttriug the preceding night ; and at 3 P. M.
tistrange Man Of War, of 64, guns, bore dtmn into
the midst of the Squadron, and remained with them
Untiklieutst. .It was observed on The: 29th; that
this intruder made no signals, although he inid dis-tr-
ing the night carried lights, .fur the direiaion of the
convoy. On the following:day, however, having, it
is supposed, boarded some vessel in the night,`and -
got. possession of her instrutStions, be threw out.
many 'signals, and at length, Ater dark, ordered
the Convoy to close around him. Next morn-
id% the Masters of some of the more distant Ves-
sels; observing a very frequent intercourse by boats-
among thosanearest.to the Man of War, and calling
to mind his unaccountable entrance into the Fleet,
and subsequent .suspicious conduct, deterriained to
make their escape, which they did with all the sail
they could carry. The stranger, from .her mantuv-
ring, was generally supposed to be a Russian."
