60LEM QUIS Drei, FAL.Stifit AUX:MAT

LONDON,
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1805.

Ws yesterday laid before our Readers a Letter
,from Falmouth, stating that the Calcutta, with her
Convoy, had fallen in with a French Squadron, and
that the Calcutta, and probably the whole of the
Convoy, had been captured. We are this day en-
abled to lay befure our Readers sonie further parti-
culars of this affair, and it is with great pleasure
we add, .that there is every reason to believe that
our loss is not so great as we were led to suppose
flora the pemsal of the Falmouth Letter. The only
East Indiaman under the Convoy of the Calcutta
was the &bit —This Vessel was seen by the
Haddock Schooner, Lieut. FOLEY, after the ACtion,
and the Lieutenant direeted the Captain to steer
for Ushant, where he would fall in with Admiral
CORNWALLIS'S Fleet : there is, therefore, strong
ground to hope that she might escape. The other
Ships of the Convoy were Whalers, one of which,
the African, has' arrived safely in Port : it. Is pro,.
belle, therefore, that the rest, or at least Aome of
them, might escape.
Soon after the ajtion the wind changed to the
East, and as Admiral CORNWALLIS received very
early, intelligence of the position in which they were
left, we trust the Enemy will not be able to get into
port with their prizes.
We feel great pleasure in paying our trihute of ap-
plause to the gallaOtry displayed by Capt. WOODRIVP,
of the Calcutta, upon this occasion. He made. a no-
ble sacrifice fbr the safety of the Convoy entrusted
to his charge, having engaged a-very superior force
of the Enemy from four o'clock in the afternoon till
half past ten at night.
The following Bulletin was sent this morning from
the Admiralty to Lloyd's :

ADMIRALTY OFFICE, OCT. 4, 'Sec.

Extra& from the
,Log-book of His Majesty's
Schooner Haddock, Lieut. Fount-, lat. 49. 8. long. 9.
wind variable, E. N. E. Friday, Sept. 27,

Half-past two, heard 'several guns fired in the
N. W. ; at three observed -His Majesty's Ship
Calcutta haul out of the C +nvoy ; at half-past
three a heavy cannonading com nenced between the
Calcutta. and . a very large Ship; ob.iervgd another
Ship coming up firing her bow chasers, 'and two
'more Snips following her ; at half past four observ-
ed the large Ship to luul fro 'n the Calcutta, and
heave to ; at dark spoke the Indic, East Indianan,
who informed us that the Ship that engaged the
Calcutta was a large French Frigate, and the Ships
in chace of her then were Line-of-battle Ships ; at
half-past nine, heard a very heavy cannonading in the
S.W. sujposed to be between the Ca,kutta and the
Enemy ;at half-past ten, firing ceased ;at day-
light, four Sail in sight;' noon, fresh breezes and
cloudy; three 'strange Sail in sight."

The Commander of the Haddock states, that it is
his opinion, that the Lulus and the greater part of the
Calcutta's Convoy may have escaped by steering
toixards Ushant. He does not knoW the nacres
of the Ships which composed the Convoy, except-
ing the Indus, which was the most valuable,

Tins morning we received Jamaica Papers to the
3d of August. They contain nothing of particular
importance. We are obliged by want of room to
postpone any Extraets from them till to-morrow.

All the Papers of this morning contain a very de-
tailed account of an attempt made by Sir SIDNEY
SMITH to destroy the Enemy's. Flotilla at Boulogne,
and they are very minute in describing the explo-
sion of the carcasses, &c. What can have given
rise to this story, we are at a loss to canje&ure
we can, however, take upon ourselves to say, that it
is without foundation, and that Sir SIDNEY SMITH
i 6 in town. •

Last night we received Paris Papers to the 28th
ult. and Dutch Journals to the cd inst.
They contain an Exposé of the comparative con-
duet of France and Austria since the Peace of
Luneville, which may be considered, in fael,_ as
a Declaration of War against the latter Power.—
ills Document is drawn up with the usual
art of TALLaTtlisto, and displays no mean pro-
ficiency in sophistry. It enumerates a few petty
encroachments of territory, stated to have been
made by Austria, and employs a great number
of words to express the surprize of BONA,PARTE
at the warlike preparations of that Power; but
totally forgets to tike the slightest notice of the ag-
gressions committed by France, in the very bosom
of profound Peace—of the arrest of the Duc D'Err-
outEN on neutral territory, and his subsequent mur-
der---of the tyranny exercised over Holland and
Switzerland--of the annexation of Genoa, or of the
assumption' of the" Crown of Italy. The usual non-
sense is repeated, of Austria being the instrument
of England, ,and the ACGUStOmed threats of the ven-
geance of lioNArtatut are' fultuinafs d against ka.

The.hopes of Elklan 1 will, it is said, be vain, and
•
fwd. are told that the day is not far distant when
the Rights of Nations
,shall le avenged."--We hope
it is not.

BONAPARTE attended a meeting of the Senate on
the c3d alt. when he addressed that Body in aishort
speech, in which the tone of the Exposé is kept up,
and England is loaded with all the odium of the War.
He announced, at the same time, his intention of
quitting the Capital to head the Army, which inten-
tion he carried into etre& on the next day, when he
left Paris to take the command of the Army as-
sembling on the Rhine.

We have not room to enter into any further de-
tailedexaMination of the important documents which
we thii day present to -our Readers, and can only
add a few particulars. ,
A Decree, has been issued by the French
.\.
Go-
vernment for raising eighty thousand Conscripts foe
the ensuing year.

The Russian Army approaches Germany with the
utmost expedition.; the Troops halt only one day
out of seven. The Russian Troops put on the War
Establishment amount to three hundred thousand
men.

The EMPEROR of 'GERMANY was . expe6tecl to go
to the Tyrol in the last week of September, from
whence he would return to Hungary to open the
Diet. The Archduke CIIARLEs left Vienna on the
17th ult. for Venice, from whence he was to proceed
to Padua, the head-quarters of the Austrian Army in
Italy. The Archduke FERDINAND was gone to the
Army in Bavaria. Two columns of Austrians,esti mated
at 36,000 men, had already entered Swabia, and were
to be speedily followed by the Main Army. In
Italy the Austrian Troops from Venice were ad-
vancing' in great force to the Adige, with a great
train of battering artillery. The French were also
Advancing to the other side of that River. The
.-French Marshal ,MAssENA had arrived at Verona
previous to the 13th ult. On the t sth ult. a heavy
,'cannonade was heard at Augsburgh from the *side
of the Tyrol and Switzerland, but no` particulars
were then known.

Tier Article in this Paper of yesterday respecting
.a joint Note. stated to have been presented to the
KING of PauSSIA from the Imperial Courts, and
which- is said to have led the Prussian Monarch, ac 7
cording to the desire of :Dußoc, to give orders for
military preparations, has induced' an Opposition
Paper to insinuate, that we inserted. it under
the irrimediate and avowed auspices ofthe TreaSUrY"
It often suits the pUrposes of that Paper. to represent
what appears in THE Sow' as Official, that it may
contrive an opportunity for venting its spleen against
Government. We think it, hoWever, necessary to
observe, that we. did ..not give. the article alluded to
from authority, but from one of on:• foreign channels
of continental information, without pledging our
selves for its truth.

Thii morning' at five o'clock, their MAJESTIES
and the PRINCESSES will leave Weymouth for Kew,
where they are expeeled to arrive between eight and
nine o'clock this evening. Some of the Pit INC:EWA
will stop at Andover to sleep, and will pursue their
journey to Kew to-morrow.
His Royal Highness the Prince of WALES, it is
cxpetted, will honour the second Newmarket Meet-
ing with his presence, The Meeting will commence
on the i.sth instant. •

His Royal Highness the Duke of CLARENCE 18
expealed at Busby Park on Tueulay se'unight, from
Brighton.

Kolar.. NORTH. BurroNs.—His Royal Highness
the Duke of SUSSEX has now taken the cominand of

ed. They have assumed His Royal Highness's name,*
and measures are to be immediately adopteZt to in-
crease their numbers. There is to be a general mus-
ter in Gray's Inn Gardens on Wednesday next, at
eleven o'clock.

THE THEArati.---The Comedy of The Soldier's
Daughter had a numerous audience last night at
Drury-Lane Theatre, and Mrs. JORDAN,. who is its
great prop, excited much applause in The Widow
Cheerly. Mr. and Mrs. StunoNs appeared for the
first time in Mr. and, Mrs. Matfort, to which they
imparted all that interest which may naturally be
suppmed to arise from the incidental blending of
fiCtion and reality in their private relation. The
Farce was Of Age To-morrow, in which Miss DE
CAMP, who has been some time indisposed, made
her first appearance for the season, and was received
with all the warmth due to a deserving actress, The,
Prologue was vehemently demanded, but on. BAN
NISTER'S pleading that he had not spoken it for some
years, and remembered nothing of it, the storm soon
subsided.
