Captain DAVERPORT, the senior surviving Officer. of
the 6th Dragoon . Guards, was called. in, and com-
menced his narrative of the attack on the sth of July,

General WIIITELO7'KE.

Agent to Constantinople, but he has .not even a single

The Rock schooner arrive& at Plymouth on Satur-
day, and brought a report that the RochJort squadron
had passed the gut Of Gibraltar, and got into Toulon,
and that a large body of trcops was assembled in the
neighbourhood of that port. This rumour cannot be i
reconcied with the account of the Rochefort squadron
having been seen by the Comus frigate to the South-
ward of Madeira. The Root brought dispatches from
Sir R. STRACHAN, the contents of which have .per-
_ haps been misrepresented at Plymouth, and thus
may have been caused the report of the Rochefort
squadron having got into Toulon. We understand,
that the dispatches received at the Admiralty merely
_state, that the gallant Admiral, supposing that the
object of the Commander of the Rochefort squadron
was to .get into the Mediterranean, had bent his
course thither. •
