NAVAL NEWS.

DEAL, SEPT. 10.—Admiral Comman-
.der-in-Chief the Flushing Squadron, arrived very
unexpectedly in the Downs this morning, in the
Impregnable, of 98 guns, having the following
.ships under his command, viz.: the Chatham, the
Cumberland, the Colossus, and York, English line-
of-battle skips ; Troclierarzof, Netron, Sciatastof,
and Chesnigri, Russian ships of the line, and Scoa-
bork Russian frigate, which remain in the Downs
with the Norge,Dictator,Bedfrtd, and L'4chille,of
74 guns, Andromeda frigate, Alert, Thunder,
Countess of Elgin; Nyniph, Rinaldo, Olympia, Ac-
five, and Defender, sloops, brigs, cutters, and
luggers. That the arrival of this
,squadron was
quite finetpected cannot be more clearly demon-
strated, than thitt forty live bullocks were yes-
terday sent from the Contractor's Office here,
on board the Norge, to be conveyed to this
very fleet off Flushing, and she was to have
sailed this morning fur that purpose, but the
of Admiral YOUNG'S squadron in the
Downs, having been announced by signal, the
Norge remains at anchor Conjecture, always busy
in the absence of real facts, has destined this squa-
dron, with six or seven more ships of the line, and
the necessary number of bomb-vessels,' gun-boats,
rocket ships, &c. to make another attack an Co-
penhagen. What ground there may be for this
supposition, those deep in the secret can-best tell.
No thunder of cannon from the French coast has yet
announced a victory gained by NAPOLEON, nor &is

Yesterday dispatches were received at the Ad-
miralty from the Mediterranean. They contain
the details of a most gallant enterprize performed
by the boats of the Bacchaige frigate, Captain
Hosre, in the Adriatic, under the command of
sLientenant "loon, of that ship. It appears that
Captain Howe received information of a convoy
having assembled in one of the ports of the Adria-
tic, to the amount of between 60 and 70 vessels,
which be conceived it !possible to destroy. „He
cordingly embarked 150 seamen -and marines in
the boats, who were afterwards landed, and had
to contend with upwards of 400 of the enemy's
troops, whom they completely routed. They next
proceeded to attack the convoy ; and it is said
that upwards of 40 of the enemy's vessels were
barn:, and the remainder brought out. The loss
sustained by the enemy is stated to have been, se-
vere, while that on our side, considering the diffi-
culty and danger of the enterprite, is not of much
magnitude.
