fained. Under this pro-vision,' orders had been sent

Dispatches were this morning received from Lord
!NIELSON, (tired from on board the Amphion, off
Toulon, July 8. His Lordship had joined the
Vleet on that day, and found the French Fleet in
Toulon equal to him in force, but there was no
idea they would venture out till they had a decided
ouperiority. If they should venture out under any
circumstances, no doubt can be entertained of the
event bting most glorious for the British Arms.

Since Lord ket.ru arrived at Sheerness, and
placed all the Block-Ships in the different channels

Place. , Several families have:quitted other .Water.
