EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM AN OFFICER ON
BOARD HIS MAJESTY'S SHIP CANOES, DATED AT

SEA, JULY 10.

f‘ Eleven Sail of the Line of the Baltic -Fleet,
with all the small craft, left Kioge Bay on the 9th
inst. under .the command of Rear-Admiral Sir
Thomas GRAVES, and anchored the same night
abreast of the Castle of Cronenburgh. We all ar-
rived yesterday off the Naze of Norway. The
other half of the Fleet, under Vice-Admiral POLE
and Rear-Admiral TOTTY, are gone round by the
Great Belt, which being a more intricate and much
longer passage, will perhaps.delay that division for
some time alter us."

Advices were yesterday received at the Admiral-
ty from Admiral CORNWALLIS, dated off' Brest,
the i7th inst. Private Letters state, that the Doris
Frigate had on the preceding day run so close in as
to he fired on by the French Batteries. There were
six Fiags flying, three French and three Spanish, and
the whole Fleet in a state of apparent readiness for
sea, consisted of zs Sail of the Line, and z z Frigates,
besides Corvettes. Certain information had been
received, that many of the ships are not half manned,
and the belief on board our Fleet is, that there is no
intention on the part of the Eneiny to pot to cea
full force, but to slip out in small Squadrons. It is
certain that some of the ships have troops on board'.
The Edmund, HUGHES, from Riga; Charlotte
Awl, Wuxi's, and Betsey, BRACEY, from Peters-
burgh, with a large Fleet from the Baltic, arc ar-
rived in Yarmouth Roads.

The Post Boy conveying the Mail from Lewes
