LONDOX,

TRIn A Y AUGUST 2, 11305.

As our Reacleesenust of course be deeply interest'
ed in every thing which relates to the late Engage-
ment, we are happy to have it in our power to lay
- bcfbre them some further particulars, the correctness
of which may be relied upon, es they were cominu-
,
DiCatcd,l3y Lieut: INICHoLSON:
When the two Fleets hove hesight of each other
on the 22d tilt. the Enemy; notwithstanding their
. superior numbers, made every effort to avoid an
engagement ; but when they fbued'themselves com-
pelled by the skilful manoeuvres of the British Fleet
to risk. 4 battle, they displayed considerable spirit.
The thick fog, however, which breveiled during the
whole battle, was very favourable to the Enemy,
and rendered the aaion notch more panial than it
would otherwise have been.
Some surprize has been expressed that the Anion
should have been discontinued so soon ; but Lieu-
tenant NlenoLsON states, that it Was absolutely
eteceseary for Atyniral Ceebee t 9 bring the Fleet
to, in order to secure the two Spanish Ships
which had struck, because they Were dropping
List to leeward, and the Enemy might have re-
gained possession of them ; but it is probable that
if the British Admiral'had not been convinced that'
it was in his power to renew the a(tion whenever
ple4e, that lie would not have discontinued it,
(nen for the purpose of securing the captured Ships.
Sir RtUttilT CALDER, Bs we have already steted,
wee between the Eilemy and the land ; and the
wind being North-east, it was impossible fur the
Cembined Squadrons to get into Ferrel without
again encountering the British Fleet. It was
in the morning after thee Battle that Sir RoaeaT
Ceteart wrote his Dispatehes,, intending that they
should be sent home by the Windsor Pasta:—
The wind, however, continuing north-cast, whilst
it the same time, the fog continued with little
intermission, the Windsor Casile and the Prizes
wield not be sent off; and these circumstances also
account for the Bettie not lie rig renewed at that
'•
period. On the evening of the 25th Sir ROBERT
CALDER determined not to wait any longer for a fair
wind to enable the Windsor castle to bring home
the Dispat6hes, and therefore ordered the Frisk Cut-
ter to sail, with Lieut. NICHOLSON, with duplicates
of the Dispatches to Admiral Colierw4LeS off

Vsha
Thp Pride vial obliged to turn to windward for
the first thirty-six hours. Before .Lieut. Nicnoz.-
“:"lefi the ./:"tire of Wales, the fog Lad cleared

away, a little,, and the repeating Frigates reported
the..Euemy to be about five leagues off. Sir Ito-
-14:rer `was still Convinced that he could bring the
. Enemy again to aaion, whenever he thoUght it ex
pedient, as his fast-sailing Ships -could soon oVer-
-take the heavy-sailing vessels of the Enemy, when
the latter must ciaier utterly abandon them, or-fight
to proteel them. The last words addressed by
Sir ROBERT to Lieutenant Nicilinsorr, on the de-
livering him the Dispatches, were these :—" I have
written to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty,
that I shall bring the Enemy to aelion again, but you
may assure theni afresh, that I have it-in in& power
to do so, and that lam determined upon it; this you
May also say to Admiral CORNWALLIS."

The wind having changed,' and allowed the
Windsor Castle and the Prizes to come away,
the Enemy would probably endeavour to make
for Ferrol, as an attempt to make for Cadiz
or the Streights would expose them to much greater
hazard than the former course. They could not,
however, it appears, elle& a passage to Ferrol
without coming again to an aEtion, which might,
perhaps, be fought on the f36th or 27th ult., We
are, therefbre, in hourly expeetation of receiving
further and more importantintelligence.

Generld J ARRY, and the Officers who reside at Wy-
comb, attended on the occasion. After the hours

precision that did them the highest credit 'for their
steadiness and discipline. Mr. PITT, and the other
visitors, expressed themselves highly pleased with
the whole of the arrangements of this most useful
Institution. ..

The PRINCE of WALES at the solicitation of Lbrd
MOfRA, has not only condescended to become the
Patron of the Edinburgh Magdalen Asylum, but has
also subscribed too guineas towards the erection of
ale new building. Lord MoxitA, and his amiable
Countess, emulating the same beneficent spirit, have
subscribed 401.

The EMPEROR of RUSSIA fully shews his senti-
ments of the Imperial Upstart
,of Prance, in the
Paper presented by Baron NOVOSILTZOFF to the Prus-
sian Minister, by having omitted all the usurped de-
signations of the Corsican, and mentioning him mere-
ly by the name of BONAPARTE. This very circum-
stance, boArever, is an additional proof of the Rus-
sian Monarch's sincerity ; for notwithstanding the
detestation in which he must hold the man, and
strongly as he must resent the injuries and indigni-
ties which he has received from the ambitious Up-
start, he nobly stilled every personal feeling, 'in or-
der to co-operate with Great Britain in an attempt
to reileve the world from the miserie3 of a war pro-
traded by the enormous aggressions of France.

Admiralty, complaining of the depredations 'com-
