the principal part of the Not th Sea Fleet, which, re-
inforced by the fquad:on tinder the orders of Lord

ceding night, they fell in with fire large (hips, ap-
parently of the line, and one (mall relief, off the

Naze; that en making the neceffary fignals to them,
they took not the fmalleft notice, although the He-
cate fired feveral guns. From this circumaance it
was fuppofed they were an enemy's fquadron, and
the Hecate came into pert for the purpofe of giving
information of what had been obferved. No farther
account, however, has been received in town ; and,
it is conjeflured, the (hips which the Hecate fell in
with, confifted of thofe which lately failed from Yar-
mouth to the Nore.

Saturday difpatches mere received from Lord
GARDN ER. Our people were lately kept two nights
at their quarters, in the relief that the enemy were
coming out. At the date of thefe accounts they
were, however, inaZtive.

Difpatches were received on Saturday from Lord,

thofe which had previoufly reached Government.—
They were brought by the Doris tranfport, Captain
Lams, mounting eight eighteen pounders, which, on
her pairage, fell in with and gallantly beat off a Spa-
nifh brig privateer of 18 guns, after a fevers engage-
ment of an hour and ten minutes, in which the Do-
ris had two men wounded, and fuifered confiderably
in her hull and rigging.
Difpatches were on Saturday received ;it the Ad-
miralty from Admiral COCHRAN E, WiliCll are dated

flood that the Rochefort fquadron, after throwing a

of the arrival in the Downs of the Courier hired
armed cutter, commanded by Lieutenant Bout, af-
ter having made an unfuccefsful attempt to cut ont
a lugger privateer from under the batteries of Tre-
port. Nothing could be better projeCted than was
this little enterprize, in aid of which the Firll Lieu.
tenant of the Megzra, and fourteen volunteer fea-
men from that fhip, accompanied the Courier. Un-
fortunately, however, before fhe reached the priva-
teer, it became perfealy calm, which left her expofed
for fome time to a vigorous fire of the enemy's bat-
teries. She received feveral fi►ms in her hull and was
otherwife much damaged, and the Lieutenant of the
Iviegzra with one feaman was killed, and another
mortally wounded. The body of the deceafed Lieu-
tenant was landed at Deal on Saturday, and is to be
interred with all due military honours.

When the enemy firft came alongfide, his bona, boom, and yards
were covered with men and frnall arms, but during the time of the
engagement the noruber of men on the boom, &c. was reduced
to two or three. They then, finding tke Doris heaving to, and
determined to continue the adion,put up helm, and bore away to
