Be 'pleased to inform my Lords Commissioners
of the Admiralty, that the homeward Fleet, consist-
ing in all of one•hundred and nine sail, a liSt of
which you will receive herewith, left the West end
of Jamaica on..the 28th of Xuly, under convoy of
this Ship, the Franchise,' and 'Penguin Sloop the

came down before the• Wind on the Fleet, which the
Veteran and this Ship chased into the Havannah

from this Ship alniost reached her. • On the 18tli
we got through the Gulph of Florida, all in corp.:,

heavy gale of wind or hurricane came on, which
lasted two days. Seven Sail we know have gone
down, names as under. Two more were seen to'
go down, names unknown, and most likely others:
One Ship ran for America. Several others lost
masts, and are otherwise considerably darn-aged.
Franclsis'e seen to' the SOuthWard the
second morning -of the gale, with her foremast
gone, and the Signal of distress flying. There are
at present in company the Veteran, Penguin; and
sixty-five Sail of Nierchantrrien. This Ship has
suffered much ; her rudder is rendered useleSs, and
cannot be :repaired at sea ; besides making water,
her stern frame is so much shaken as to be con-
siderable- danger, IncloSed yon will have the opi-

Since my letter of the 25th inst. by the Pen-

Tranc4iu, With seven of the Merchantmen, have just
joined us ; and I au sorry to learn from Captain

my letter liave ;one down. I hope he will soon
join the great body of the. Ponvoy, under Captain
Smyht, of the Penguin, which must be many
leagues from us at present. Lest this letter should
get to the Admiralty before that of the 25th, I send
a copy herewith. ' I be(4 to express to their 'l,nrcl-
ShipS my sense of the obhptig'ti I am under to Capt.

only to this ship, but to the convoy in general since

der the state of this Ship, having en reporte4' by
the Officers of the yard, at Jamaica, as unsa'f9 for
a winter's passage, as well as the two surveys latelytaken, that the season for bad" weather apprOdhes
fast ; the Caermarthen having been the worst sailing
Ship in the fleet, and towed all 'the way, until the
gale came on, I am of opinion, it would be im-
proper to prolong the passage of this'Ship," by talc:-

EVANS to order a survey by CapOins ; but he,

It is now generally supposed that the French
Squadron, captured by Sir S. Hoon, were bound
for Martinique. The peremptory order for them to
put to sea from Rochefort made them desperate in
their defence ; and our Officers say, that it is the
first a&ion, so deserved to be called the. French
have fought this war. They were chosen Ships, and
manned with picked crews, as was easily to be dis-
covered by their masterly ki3antruvring. No.doubt
their object was. one of emergency, or they would
not have sustained such an aelion. The !Messenger
which ordered the Squadron to sail from Rochefort,
l.yought the account of the departure of BoNArARTE
from Paris to-join the Army. ,We trust we may be
'allowed the hope that their fate is ominous of that
which awaits their master.

THE THEATRE.—The Comedy of The Rivaliwas
represented last night at Drury-lane Theatre. The
only novelty of the performance was PE;LEY'S
Acres, which had the recommendatiOn'of being di-
vercified as well as new, for he differed troni himself
in almost every scene. We do not, however, mean
to commend this variety. The truth is, that ►hough
he was active and spirited, he did not, appear to have
a settled and consistent notion of the charaeler.-",—
The audience were more • diverted by a whimsical
accident than by any intrinsic stroke of humour in
this excellent Comedy. JopNsroNE, as Sir Lucius
O'Trigger, in giving Acres 4 slap on the shoulder in
order to rouse his courage, produced 'such a c. oncus-
sim in PENLEY!S whole bddy that his artificial head-
dress flew off and left his unpowderecr crop for the
laughter of the audience, which was considerably
increased by the confUsion of the A6tor and his
hasty efforts to recover his firgitive tresses.
The French excel in ship-building, and it is to the
hoilour of Or Naval Commanders; that they always
give them the preference, where they meet with
them. In taking their vessels off their hands we are
certainly'. their best customers, mid never haggle
about the price. _ _ _

On Sunday afternoon, about five o'clocki as three
Gentleineu' were riding together 'at a full gallop, on
the other side of Barnet, oneof them met with a most
dreadful accident by the girths, of the saddle break-
ing. The Genfleman, owing to the speed of the
horse, fell with the saddle, with such violence, that
one of hiS legs was broken in a dreadful manner :
we alSo understand that his sktill was fractured.---
\ e Iraire not yet ascertained his name.

French and Dutch. It appears film: his Majesty the.
King of Holland is to take the command of this
Army in pe'rson, and that the defence of the. King-
dom • will be particularly entruited to the Dutch
troops. The arrival of his Majesty is already officially.

BAMBERG, SEPT. 29.—Tt is said, since this morn,
ing, that the Duke of I.3llussl,c-tcr; has transferred
his Headquarters from Gotha to Weimar; and it
is remarked, upon this subje&, that all the possas-
signs of the different Eranches of the House of
Saxony are occupied by Prussian .troop 3.

FRANKFQRT, SERT. 27.-7 The last letters which
have reached us from Saxony announce, that 25,ct0
Saxon troopS are now concentrated between Dres-
den and the frontiers of the Kingdom of Bohemia,
and cantoned at a certain distance from the placei
through which the Prussians pass ; so that there is
• ,
as yet no union between the two Armies. Thei
Eleetor, they say, has hitherto refused it. The
Prince of HOMENT.OFIE is still at Dresden ; it is
that he has confined himself to the de-
manding a passage 'for the Prussian troops-, tliiougk
the EleCtorate of SaxOny, and also for other foreign
troops, which, he says, are expeaed. The‘ mo-
tives which the Prussian- General alledges to ji.ictify
his demand relative to the passage is quite exttaor.
dinary; for ,he *declared that the Prussian troops
were ?bite& to evacuate Slies:4l to make rooM"for
the Russian troops. which will immediately 'arrive
from Poland.

A anisiderable number of old Officers having re-
signed, they have been replaced by young Officers
taken from the Corps of Cadets : the Officers
and Soldiers retired are provided with ranks in

It is thought, that during the King's abseace the.
Queen will reside at Warsaw.

The Prussian artillery was in pressing want of
horses; all those betonging to the inhabitants of the
adjacent villacres were taken from them ; but Prince
Louts ordered them be. restored, offering to, pay
for them, if the owners were willing to sell. The
PrUssians having, howeVer, but little hard money,
and many notes, which they call tre.wr scheine; theie_
are few Saxons willing to treat with them.
Mince the invasion of the PrusSians, corn, meat,
and all kinds of provision, in general, have almost
doubled their price. Saxony is the more to. be pitied,
as
,asert•of scarcity has prevaileil there for these two
years, past.

DgcsnEN, SEPT. 23.---,The Fortress of Koenig-
stein is placed in the best state of defence. The
Saxon Troops, under the command of the Duke of
Saxe Weitnar, have approached still nearer. the.
Prussians. .Besides which the garrison of this city,
consisting of four Regiments of Intantry, and 'a
Regiment of Cuirassiers, have received orders to
hold themselves in readiness to march. All politic
cal affairs continue to be treated with the greatest
secrecy. With regard to military measures, they
are a little better known. We very. much dread
that our Country, hitherto so fortunate, will become
the Theatre of a terrible War. Every one here is
under the greatest anrehension. Sul' it is, asserted
that,theteclor of Saxony-is by no means disposed
"to Make common cause with the Prussians.--
Prin 11 Ce OIIENLOHE, on repairing from Berlin to
Dresden, demanded of the Elector a free passage
over his States for his Army, consisting of about
3600 men ; the EleEtor answered that he could not
oppose it, but that neither could he oppose in the
sequel, the passage of other Foreign Troops ; that
he would unite his army, in order to protect, as
much as possible, his neutrality ; but that should
War break out, he would not decide in favour of
either of the belligerent Powers.
The Country of Magdeburgh has offered his Prus-
sian Dl esty a Regiment of Light Horse. The

SEMLIN, SEPT. 2 .—The following is what is re-
lated upon the last success gained by the Servians
After the unfortunate etrgagement of the 16th
July. the Ottoman troops assembled anew ; and hav-
ing been reinforced by a corps come from Adria-
nople, under the orders of Saczy Pacha, their num-
ber amounted to twenty- two thousand. Being suf-
ficiently provided with arms and stores, the Turks
resolved to march again with all their forces against
the insurgents. The latter being apprised by their
spies of this proje&, sent for reinfOrcements, and
took every measure to repel the enemy. The Ser-
vian Army, 31,000 strong, occupied an intrenched
camp, a mile from Alexinza, and was divided into
four ,Columns. The first, about thirteen thousand
men, under the orders of the Chief MLADEN, formed
the main body; the second, of six thousand nien,
commanded by the Chief JAcosLowrtin, was posted
behind on the right ; and the third, of the like num-
ber, under the orders of the Chief STANVILA,formed
the left wing on the same line as the second. The
4th column, or -reserve, was posted at a certain dis-
tance from the main body. The day before the battle,
and upon information being received that the Turks
were to attack the next day, the 2d and ad columns
quitted their camp in the evening: the one marched
towards Morawa, and formed an ambuscade in a
wood; the other marched farther, and posted itself
behind Bagno. AbOui five o'clock in the morn-
ing the Turks went out of their camp, pitched in
_ front of the latter place, and advanced in two co-
lumns towards Alexinza. At six o'clock they ar=
rived before the camp of the Servians, and itnme-
cliately attacked it ; the fire of artillery and mus-
ketry was very brisk on each side, and lasted several
hours. The Turks, after in vain attempting to
force the centre of the line of the Servians, made
an attack upon the two wings; but it proved equally.
fruitless.
" At the moment owhen the engagement wqs
warmest the two columns of die insurgents which.
1
were placed in ambush advanced and took the Turks
in the rear; the latter immediately formed into two
lines, one of which marched to meet these two
columns, and the other' still faced the main. body.
...-They fought
.on both sides with the greatest ob-
stinacy—the 'Turkish Cavalry particularly_ distin-
guished itself by the rapidity of 'its movements.
Viatory was for a long time undecided—at length
the main body of the Servians contrived to break
the line of the Turks; this occasioned great disorder,

which was soon followed by a total rout, The

Turks, harassed on all Bidet, fled towards their camp :
- arrived th,ere, they endeavoured to form anew—but
the Seri fans, who were at their heels, did not allow
them time, and again forced them to fly. The catty,

with all the stores and provisions, together with Mu r

pieces of ordnance, fell into their hinds. The Ser-
vian Cavalry pursued the enemy as far as Nissa, and
the Infantry beyond Baps:, and Pauakin (four leagues
*ona Nissa). The loss on both sides was consider-
able, it is estimated at 5000 killed, exclusive of the
wounded.• It was on the 30th of August that this
aaion took place. The Commander of the Turks,
Bl!,ißasonx, and the two other Chiefs, DEL= and
PAcIIA, had been made prisoners at the close
of the engagement ; but were afterwards delivered'
by the Turkish Cavalry."
MADRID, SEPT. t6.—Our Government, eager to
adopt all measures favourable to public prosperity,
has just authorised the formation of a Lottery, the
produce of which is to defray, in some measure, the
nishing of the famous Arragon Canal, which is in-
tended to render the Ebro navigable from the Fron-
tiers of Navarre to the Mediterranean, and, at the
Same time, to fertilize, by irrigations, the land
which this river flows through. To consummate
this great work, one of the most useful which can
be undertaken, there are only nine leagues to be
dug ; and the Lottery in question will' provide for_
the expellees still required. It consists of 16,000
shares of 1000 reals (250 francs) each, forming a
capital of sixteen millions of . reals, of which 12,
millions will be collected for the prizes of different
values, and the. four others appropriated to the ex-
pence% of the undertaking. This LOttery is so
combined that none of the ventures can be wholly
lost, and there will be two great prizes, one of
600,000 reals, and the other- of 300,000 ; there
will be also two of 150,000, and so on to ,the
smallest prizes, which will be of 300 reels. As
a true public spirit _is well-known to exist in our
Country, and as every one is convinced of the benefit
the Canal of Arragon will procure to a great part of
the Monarchy, we arc persuaded that in order to be
quickly filled, the proposed Lottery does not even
stand in need of the advantages it presents.
• PARIS, SEPT. 27.—Tbe young Duke of AnEm-
- BERG, has been for some days at Paris. It is asserted
that he is authorised to raise a regiment of Light.

amidst the cries " Long live'the Emperor !" a thou,
sand times repeated by a numerous people, whom

lish in this town:. They were enabled to judge from

noble and complete refutation of the absurd tales
with which the London Newspapers amuse the Eng-
lish populace upon this subje% &c. &c.
