took place in the course of Saturday, but we belie°
very lit tie damage was sustained on either side. Ili

Dispatches were yesterday received at the Ad.
miraliy from Lord •NILSON, which .ate stated to
give an account-of the recent affair before Toulon,
and of course one very different from -that of the
French Admiral.

`The Underwriters in London have presented Cap.
taro Ariri.irck, of the Lord Fcrlrs, of Greenock,
with an elegant and valuable Bowl, with the fol.
lowing inscription
" The ship Juno, of Liverpool, commanded by Capt. Lot-
wig Affleck, tit is guns, 64ounders, anti 44 men, being cap-
tured otrthe Coastal -North Amern.a, ,911 the 14th August,
1803, by the French Frigate l'ursuivant, 21 s.1-pounders,
9-pottriders, and 330 imn, after a well=tf►u'ght battle, the
Underwriters Of London present Captain Affleck with this
token at their estimation of his skill and bravery, in main-
taining a long anti gallant Aaiun with a;Ship of. such su-
perior force."

The Lords of the Admiralty have Signified their
entire approbation of the courage and condua mani.
felted by I,ieut. GaAs?, of the Hawke Cutter,
who was lately Captured in the Weser, after a des.
ptgate codliet, and whom his Commanding Officer
path represented, as having nobly upheld the British
charaler. It will no doubt be as much the province
of the Patriotic Fund to reward and sooth unsOccess.
ful brasery, as to adorn and distinguish Fortune's
better favourites.

Two very large Vessels were brought into Yar.
mouth Roads on the 13th inst. by Lieut. WIL.
LIAM, First-Lieutenant of His , Majesty's Ship
Lynx. These Ships are loaded with masts and
yards fit for Firsr.rates ; they sailed under Prussian
Colours from Riga, ostensibly bound to Embden ;
there is little doubt, however, but ',icy were really
destined for a French Port, and will probably
prove most valuable Prizes.

A Court Martial was held on board the Salvador
del Almada, of 3 I 2 guns, in Hamoaxe, on Thursday
last, on a Seaman of the Pickle Armed Ship, who
was tried for mutinous and disorderly condua
Elrest, while she was on that station with the look-
out in-shora squadron, a few weeks since. After a
Icing trial, he was convidled, and sentenced to re.
ceive soo lashes. The principal evidence against
him, a Seaman of the Pickle, prevaricating in his
evidence,• was sentenced to solitary imprisonment
in the Marshalsea, London.
As the time of the departure of the homeward_
bound China Ships has occasioned so much anxiety,
it may be ititeresting to our Readers to know the
time at which these Ships arrived there; we there.
fore subjoin the fallowing list ; and should they form
two fleets, the former eight will probably compose
the first, viz.

' Otran, Henri Addington, Exeter, and Earl of
Abergaiveatty, arrived at China, 3d and 4.th of Sep.
tember ; CatoberlaNd, 22d August ; Warr," Nast.
lugs, 2,th August ; Earl Camdess And Bombay Castle,
end of September; Royal George, Wexford, Dorset.
shire, Hope, Ganges, and Alfred, end of September ;

.uf November, having received considerable damage
in a tyfroon, but had been repaired, and were far
advanced in their loading on th'e 9th of Jai,u,ity ;
