It has been confidently stated ingitorne of the-Let-
ters 'from Deal, that the John, Adams, Arrerican
tiiglne, bad been prevented by our squadron from

entering :he Texes, because she had dollars on board;
and it ii'eveti added, that sortie !hots 'were ex-
changed between the John Adams and one our tri-

We are ,not able -to give a positive coutra-
di;:tion to this slaternent, but we are inclined
t 6 doubt it, or at,least • to believe that the fa
has been misrepresented. If •an aerion hid taken
place betweon the John Adams and one of
out frigates, of course intelligence of such
an event would have been immediately sent to this
country, and that intelligence would have arrived as
soon' as the John Adams. But no such account has
reached the: Admiralty ;. we are therefore diSposed
to believe that the statement we gave yesterday
was correct, viz. that the American frigate had put

_too troublesome a task daily. to• offer apologies,
to n-Lltke recantations, and they have therefore
adopted a,boldei.and more original plan. Instead,
therefore, of :saying, for. instance, " our assertirms,

We last night received Paris and Dutch Papers to
the loth inst. They announce the gradual retreat
the-Fre:rub armies out of the Austrian territories, but
theycordtrin the opinion which we advanced some
time ago, viz. that BUONAPARTE would 'find it ne-
cessary to leave a large force to watch Austria, and
lo keep his vassal States in awe : General OUDINOT;
with a coi,siderable army is to be stationed at Ulm.
The King-of Blvaria is, we. should suppose,' by this
time convinced Of the impolicy of his, conduct t ;
by j)ining France against Austria in the war
of tvo.s, and. m the last war, he hoped to gain
an acees,ion,of territories, or at least to secure
his independence. With resPed to the aug-
