Thinking it almost impossible to bring a Fleet bf
'0 Sail of the Line into a battle, in variable winds,
hick weather, and other circuin'itances which must
)ccur, without such a loss of time that 'the opportu-:

pity would probably be rust of bringing the Enemy
ta battle in such a manner as to make the business
ecisive, I have therefore made up' my-mind to 'keep
c Fleet in that position' of sailing (with the ex-
:ption of the First and Second in Command), that
e order of sailing is to be the order of the battle
. cing the Fleeb in two lines, of id Ships each;
h an advanced siptadron of eight of the fastest'
ing two-decked Shipq, we will always make,
anted, a line of 24 Sail, on which ever line the
manner in Chief may direct. The Second in
i;.remand will, after my—intentions are made
"own to him, have the entire direaion of his line,.
to ruakehe attack upon. the Enemy, and to fpilow
ip the blow, until they :1Q captttred. or. destroyed.

If the Eilenv.'s Ilect are seen to v,ii.dmiard in line of
• battle, and that the two' lines and adi,anced squa-
dron' could fetch them, they will' probably Fe so
extended that their van could not succour their
I shoutd, therefore, probably make the Second in
Command's signal to lead through about the i Qat
Ship from their rear (or wherever he could fetch,
if not able to get, so far. advanced); my line would
lead through about their centre, and the advanced
squadron two, three, or four Ships a-head :of
. their centre; so as to ensure getting at their Com-
mander in Chief, whom every eftbrt must be Made'
to capture. 'he whole impression of the British
Fleet;must be to overpower from two or three Ships
a-head of. their. Commander in Chief (supposed to
be in their centre) to the rear 'of their Fleet.
suppose 20 Sail of the Line to be untouched, it
Must be some time before they could perform a ma-
neeuvre to bring their force compact to :attack
any gait of the British Fleet, or succour their
own Ships, which; indeed, would be impossible,
• without mixing with- the Ships • engaged. - The
Enemy's Fleet 'is supposed to consist of forty,
six Sail of theline, British forty, if either is less,
only a proportion of the Enemy to be cut oiti.:Bri-
tish to be one-fourth superior to the Enemy cut off.
Something must be left to chance; nothing is sure
in a .sea-fight beyond all' others ; shots will .carry
away masts and:yards Of friends'as well,,as foes, but
I look with confidence ton victory before the van of
the Enemy could succour their rear, and then that the
British Fleet would lie ready to receive the twenty
Sail of the Line, or to pursue them, should, they
endeaVoUr to make off. If the van of the Enemy
tacks, the captured Ships must run to leeward of the
British Fleet; If the Enemy Wear, the British Fleet
must, place themselves between the Enemy:, and the
captured, and disabled :British Ships ; •and, should
the Enemy close, I have.* *sr as to the result.

The Second in Command"Vill, in all possible things,

NELSON AND IMONTE.

TilE THEATRE.--The Proprietors of Covent-gar-
(len Theatre last night, in conforMity to -custom
long established, treated the holiday folks with a
nevv-Pahtoinime; which was ~receded by The Min
of the World. The title of the new Pantomime is
Harkii fin's Magnet; or The ;Scandinavian Sorcerer.
It isnqdless to observe, that the Fable of this Piece
Wis foed, upon the Northern Mythology. , The
name or the "Sorcerer is Mr; who is afterwards
convert6l into Pantaloon,. This potent Magician is.
in love)rith Tylla, a very beautiful damsel of.course,
and shy is in. love with Harold,' a young knight of
great pipwess, but who is unable to resist the poiver
of necromancy. He is therefore seized by Nor and
his infernal associatei, and'exposed to death in a
foreSt„ bound hand 'and feet. lit length' Harold is
released' by Oditi. In due time Harold and riW/d.
bi‘corne Harlequin and colantlinel. the usual pur-
suits and escapes ensue, • and the fugitive pair are at
length united. •

'lf this' Pantomime does &it exhibit So inanjr whim
sical tricks as ig generally found in such composi-
tions; it is not wanting in show, grandeur,and pie-
'turesque beauty: Many of the Scenes are striking;
• hold, and Magnificent, among which are aforesi with
• a'Abwer qf snow, the Magnetic chamber, 'a scene
.at Petersbingh, with the equestrian statue of PETER
the GREAT, a 'Russian Fair,' allartar camp, and se-
veral others. The Piece at least contains' Paiid
enough for wonders and some new whimsical tricks
and blunderx will, as usual, be added on every rd-
,
-petition. '. recitatives and the urconatic con-
strudion 'altogethet are attributed to Mr. T. Db.-
DIN, whose ready
,Muse may. b 0 considered as a
servant work, and is one of. the most Useful
allies of the Tfietitte: -The Piece'Was very well re-
ceived by a crowded Audience, and though the
public representatton may be considered as the 1:13t
'rehearsal, it went oft stltiogcttb,r sith stneetLues,z,

Newspapers,. I feel myself called; upon to answer
it The passage 1411udc to is. as follows i " ksi'to
the, reports circulated by Lieut. NrcriLsorf, tht
the Vice Adiniral had assured him, and had autho-
rized him to declare to the. Commandinp; Officer;
that I had it in my power and
,was determined to.
force the CoMbined Fleets to renew the .aCtion... If
so, why not Lieut. NrCoLsots called' to 'prac`the
Hc could not. The Vicc Admirll declared,.
on his honour, he never did send.such message.--::
Sir It. CA-LDER—That I do; Most
is the report Of that Port of the 'Admiral Sir R.
CAcnEß's defence, as given .by the llorning -Chro-`,
nide, of the correetness of which I cannot know
anything. But if what Sir It. cA.i.ni.,ll said lie fairly
and correCtly detailed, I consider it as an indispeOsi—
ble duty I owe to my reputation as an .officer•to.,
state upon oath the particulars 'of .WqiOt was' Said to
me by Sir ROBERT CALDSR at the time I was
chargedAvith his dispatches, an the, evening of the
24th of to be forwarded in I is'
ter, the ftisk,, under my command. Sir Itoaruvr-
CALDirt being in his cabin, and no other persen 'pre-
sent but him and me, and having delivered to me
the dispatches,' he ordered, rue to tell the Com-
mander in Chief, 'Adlliiral CORNWALLIS, that he
wasqleteraiined to bring the enemy to.aolion the

next morning, the 25th of July, observing, at the
. same time .(to use his oi,vn words as near as possi-
ble), that it would be a melancholy thing if the
Windsor Castle with the Frigates and Prizes should
fall into the hands of.the Enemy.; bnt in whatever
event, whether he could render secure the retreat
of the Il'indsor autle with the ,Frio.ites .and Prizes,,
or not, ho was determined to attack the Enemy the-
next morning, adding, he knew vcry Well:they Were
not tar oft; and unless they abandoned 'their disabled
and heavy sailing Ships, which he believed they had
no inclination to do, they would net easiliescape
him.

Sir R. CA unit asks why I was not called to proVe,
above. I -do not know ; hut I conceive it in-.
cutubent on me also to mention, that having been
ordered by the Lords. COMMigsioners of the Admi-
ralty to repair .to Portsmouth, to attond.at the trial

of Sir R. CALDER, on my arrival thereon the 22d,
inst. the day previous to the trial, having waited on
the Judge Advocate, I was told by him, Sir R. CAL-
DER wished particularly to see me, and recoMmend-
ed my going to him immediately;' vvllich. I d:,l, and
wa received at hi lodgings by Mr. Err,K.NEt.t., the
Prosecutor, who told that Sir Roni;llT did not.
wish to see me until after the trial ; but that he. was'
desired to say, by him, how much he was astonished

at certain reports having been made editting..to.
said :to Dave come from me. I replied, that-. 1 had
made no:report but what I \V33 ordored- to inake'by
Sir R. CALDER to the Commander in thief, which
was, that he was determined to 'attack the ll'jemy
the next morning; as before mentioned; to, which
