EXTRACT OF A LETIER FROM THE SQUADRON OFF

THE TEXEL.

March 23, 1804

We have been at anchor these five days off Patrol, within
sight of the Ships in the Texel, and although the vernal equi-
noxes have blown with uncom:non violence, not a rope-yarn
has been strained. Admiral THOR NFIOROUGH, with a sea-
man's eye, perceiving the approach of the gale, chose the
place and moment to anchor, which enables us to ride as
smooth as in a mill-pond, while we torm a complete blockade
.of the Texel. Rumours were afloat a week or two back,
that extraordinary exertions were making to enable the Ene-
my to proceed to sea, and some few tons of water sand bags
of hay found their way on board their Transports. No such :
•good fortune is likely to attend our little, but fully efficient
Squad ran, ardent as are our hopes, and anxious as is our so-
licitude: we gather patience from the zeal and perseverance
of our esteemed Admiral, who is certainly entitled to some
portion of that p'raise so deservedly bestowed on Admiral
Colt NWALLI s, when it is stated that since the beginning of ,
last December, he has been but-liming the North Sea, narrow
and intricate as is its navigation, overtaken 'occasionally with
stormsof snow and hurricanes of wind. The Mallard Gun.

It is stated in a Paper of last night, that Lord
CAsITIERRAGH has received a Letter from Lord
NELsoN, dated the 16th nit. in which the latter
neither hSlds out any prospeta of bringing the
Enemy to an Engagement, nor states that the
Toulon Fleet has sailed.—We do not pretend either
to affirm or contradict this Statement, we can only
re-assert what we stated before—That a Letter
was received from Lord N LsoN by a particular
Friend of that Gillant A,!miral, dated the loth
ult. from the Madelina Isles, at tie North,:rn
Point of Sardinia, stating that he rtt7(7s on the Eve
cf a Battle. The natural inference to be drawn
from this is, that the Toulon Fleet were in sight,
and that his Lordship expeCted immediately to bring
them to Attion. It will probably not be, long be-
fore some further and more explicit Accounts are
received upon this subject.
A. G. STOKER, EA. has made his escape from
France ('.there he has been detained ever since the
commer.cement of the war), and is arrived in perfed
health at his seat at Pnrley, in Bell:shire.
