Rear. Admiral CAMP 3 ELL is detached by fa
NELSON to cruize off Sardinia, with four Sail of the
Line.
The Squadrons commanding the blockade of
Havre and Cherbourg, emulating the example ,
our persevering Adiniral of the Blue (CoaNwALIA-5/
have continued on their stations during the late Ire"
mendous gales, till obliged to return to Port by
shipping heavy seas. The Melpomene, Capta'n
OLIVER, returned on Thursday with only one
day's fuel on board ; and the Ranger, Capt. Coors'
and Merlin, Capt. BRENTON, were six weeks Wit
the Squadron.
The Amethyst Frigate is arrived in Leith Ro2ds.
from a cruize in the North Sea, during which EL'e
fell in with, and chased a Corvette and two Trans:,
ports full of Troops.. The Corvette escaped jilt;
Bergen, but the Transports remaining at sea, ("-
Amethyst pursued them, when a storm came
which, it is probable, sent them to the botter:t
The Amethyst returned to Bergen, and learnt 1'1;
the Transports had tOOO men on hoard, for the Pli';
pose of effeaing a descent upon Shetland, but t
people of the Corvette were of opinion that the,
were lost. A Letter from Bergen, received
Yarmouth, probably alluding to the same circa°.
stance, says, " A Fleet of Trincportc from the
Texel, with about 5 or 600 French and ,P. .a.
Troops, have entered this Harbour : a sloop
,aef
ship, part of the convoy, ate missing. Severs' a
thel Dutch Officers have deserted, and are returne
to Holland in a Schooner which they engaged liefe
for their conveyance."
