An Ordnance Flny,lich can 4. in this Moi-t'ling

fretich Gun-boats,'- when becalmed -very •I;ear the,
shore, and, carried into Boulogne.. A Frigate-was,
seen. steering from the, French,land for the Downs
this morning, which had the appearance of. being
much shattered in her masts and rigging.

PLYMOUTH, MARCH I3.—Arrived the French I
Sloops La Ro,salie and L'Enterprize, laden. with
wine, roiin; and flour, from licittideaux hound to
Brest, captured.by the Maly Hired Armed Cutter.
We are happy to state from the mouth of an Of-
ficer lately returned from our Squadron off I.rerrol-,
that the strongest inclination appeared on the.part of
the Spaniards to cultivate the.r friendship of the Eng.
lish, and that the greatest harmony subsisted between
the Commodore, Sir EDw. PE LIE vo, and His'Excel-
lency the 'GovFroor of Ferrol, DON DIEGO CoNTA-
DORE; an Admiral in their Navy. This Gentleman
was Governor of the place when the attempt of Sir
JAMES PULTENEY was made upon it. He bath by
his exertions caused the neutrality of the Port to be
respected by both Nations ; 'and ',what is more re-
markable,
he insisted lately, without any complaint
being made to him on the part of the English, on the
punishment °la boat's crew belOnging to the French
Admiral, which had insulted one of .the Boats of
our Squadron.' Every refre'shMent the country
afforded was assiduously supplied by his orders ;
.and during the anchorage of the Squadron in. At-
res Bay,. they werr.consiantly,attended by Lieute-
nant-Colonel DON JUAN BRICRDALE, of the Royal
Hibernian Regiment, tinder whose direCtions every
communication -With the shore was-regubted. The'
appointment ofthis`officer to this service,was a par,_,;
ticular mark of favour from ;the Governor, being a
descendant of •an English Tatnily, a Nephew of
,
MATTHEW Ba JCIthAL E, Esq. Member tor
Bristol.- To the, urbanity of this Gentleman
every Officer of the' Squadron bears the fullest
testimony, and from the uncommon civility and at_
tention shewn by him to all ranks and Orders of the
English, he will otter be remembered with esteem.

PORTSMOUTU, MARCH 14.----Arrived tie hunt.:

Transports under Convoy, from the Downs.

The Pettere I Sloop of War.was this day appoint.
ed (per 'Telegraph order) to sail tomorrow with
the Fleet for the West Indies.

DEAL, MARC 11 14.-Arrived- from a Criiize cif
'Boulogne, L'immorta/;ti Frigate, and remains in the
,Downs with His M.;jesty's Ships as per last, and a
Fleet of outward bound West Intliattien,.

YARMOUTH, MAttcH 12.-The PrinceSSOflcideS
cutter, commanded by Lieutenant Ron eRT CAME-
Row, arrived in the Rdads yesterday afternoon, with
dispatches from that gallant, generous, and enter.
prizing Commander, Sir SIDNEY SMITH, after a
run of eleven hours from Flushing, where she left
the Comtnodnre, who is not content with blockading
ports in the common kind of way, but has adually
moored his own Ship the Antelope, :Crescent and
Magicienne, at the motith of the Metloo, which
has effectually stopt up that passage to Flushing;
the Cruizer. Brig, and Rattler Sloop cf war,. are
moored in the Wullings, Within about three and a
full' miles of the Enemy's Flotilla, , which are an..
chored in the. Roads -to the amount of sixty or
seventy sail, as follows : One Frigate, r 5 schooners,
the rest Scuyts and
~paltry things with one mast.
SIr.SIDNEY is indefatigable, seldom goes to bed
till four or five in the morning ; and as he has so
completely hemmed them in, will no doubt crush
them (which is his general term) before. he sees
England. The Princess of Wales is the Cutter which
led the vessels through the Wutlings into their an-
chorage ; the pilots, and to their shame be it said,
gave up their charge : that vessel, and the Favorite
have: been very . actively employed in rconnni-
tring and sounding between Cad Sand and .Flush-
ing, at times within pistol shot of the batteriesovhich
have never fired since the first day, and then it is be-
lieved not with the intention ;of their shot having
efFed : the flotilla appear panic-struck ; for when the
two cutters were taking a peep at them, within al—
most gun-shot, and close under the batteries, they
only sent five of their gallant squad to cline them ;
two large armed schooners and. three gran-vessels
the cutters immediately hove to for them, which
they observed, and not thinking it safe to trust
themselves tco near our jacks, ran into their nest
again. The Princess of Wales mounts ten guns, and
the Favourite eight ; and at this time not one of
the squadron in sight except the Rattler, who was
lying at an anchor about five miles to 'leeward.—
When our tars can do this iti the face of the enemy,
and in their own harbours, what have Englishmen to
fear from Invasion ?

- Captain BISSELL, who so gallantly concluded
himself in different actions in die West Indies on
board Hii Majesty's Sloop I?eco,, has been pro-
moted ri.
to the rank of Post Captain by the Lords
of the Admiralty.
The-Harmonic Privateer his been cut out of Malin
