It appears that Lord NELSON, 'after landing the
Troops which he bad on board, at Antigua, sailed
from that Island on the morning of the 13th
of June; he had received such intelligence as
left , him no room to doubt that the Combined
Fleet had sailed for Europe, and it was his inten-
tion, if he was not fortunate enough to fall in with
them, on his passage; to make Cape St. Vincent, in
order to intercept them, in case they should run for
Cadiz or the Mediterranean...
Immediately on the arrival of the Decade in the
Tagus, the Marlin Sloop of Warwas dispatched to
apprize Admiral BICKERTON and Admiral CoL-
Lirlbwoon of the return 'of the Combined Fleet,
in order that they might keep 'a good' look out for
them. The Decade also sailed from the Tagus on
the i i th' for Cape Si. Vincent, for the purpose of
meeting with Lord NELSON.
Captain STEWART, of the Decade, informed the
British Consul,that the day before he quitted the Bri-
tish Fleet, one of the Frigates that were upon the
100k-out, reported that she had on the day before fal-
len in with an American Ship, the Captain of which
stated, that he had fallen in with a large Fleet,
which must of course have been the Conlbitied
Fleet. We may therefore exped almost every hour
to receive further intelligence of the British and the
Combined Fleets.

POsitive information had been received at Lisbon,
that the Carthagena Fleet, which had made two or
three short Cruizes, had finally sailed on the 25th
June,and that Sir R. BICKERTON, who had received
an account a their sailing, had passed the Streights
in hopes of meeting, them.
A Letter from Lord NELSON, dated on "the 14th
June, at sea, incloses a Letter from the Com•
mander of the Welly Schooner, -which was, Convoy
.to the Merchant Ships sent offfrom Antigua by Lord
L►vxxcrow,which mentions the Capture of thirteen
out of fourteen Sail, of which the Convoy consisted,
by th© Combined Fleets, a day or two after the
Convoy sailed from tarbuda.

The accounts brought by the Staunch from Ja.
maica are of the 'tnost satisfaaory nature that
Island, .and indeed all our West Indian Possessions,
ate now in such a state of defence as to bid defiance
to any Force the Enemy can bring against them.

The Auckland Packet, which sailed from Lisbon
on the 12th inst. and the Walsingham Packet ditto,

Yesterday afternoon the St. James's and the

At eight o'clock yesterday morning the Fourth
Regiment of Loyal London Volunteers assembled on
their parade ground, from whence they marched
to Paul's Wharf, Do&ors' Commons, and were em-
barked on board the River Fencibles' Boats, under
the command of Commodore Lucks, • They pro-
ceeded in the following order :—the Commodore,
with four Barges armed with heavy cannon ; two
Barges arMed enflute ; and ten Barges, on. board of
which ware the Fourth Regiment. • •
The Commodore took the lead, and abreast Nine
Elms supposed an enemy to appear ; he attacked
them with the two boats, armed enflute, and having
succeeded in beating them off, passed the troops un-
der his command in safety, Until their arrival at
Putney- bridle, Commodore Llielq continued to keep
aloof, and occasionally was firing at a supposed
enemy hid to annoy the Regiment 4nder his com-
mand. Their lauding being effeaed, the Regiment
formed, ttnd without delay proceeded to Wimbledon
Common. On their arrival an Enemy was supposed
to be formed to oppose them :.they immediately en-
tered the woody part of the liepth, and,odyanced,
driving every thing before them, until they ruched
the very extremity of the Corri Mon, where, from
the thick underwocld, they became very much di-
vided. Hostilities here 'ceased, and the Attacking
Party were declared Vietors,
