ANOTHER 'ATTU, SAMS DATE.

46 Came in the San Rafael, of 84, and the Firm,
of 74 guns, captured by the MALTA and Wreasoa
CASTLI men of war. Sir ROBERT CALDER had loft
fight of the combined fleet for 24 hours, but great
hopes were entertained of overtaking them. The
WINDSOR CASTLE is arrived with the prizes; the has
loft her fore-top•maft ; the Spaniards have not a Rick
Rending. On board the Wronsos. Cams, Lieute-
nant CARY, of the Royal Navy, Lieutenant Ross, of
the Marines, Mr. FOZTBRI Midlhipman, and (even
feamen, were killed ; Lieutenant Mozineuz, Royal
Navy, and forty-five feamen were wounded : about
300 WIC killed and wounded on board each Spanifh
fhip."

ANOTHER LITTER, SAME DATE.

g' Frve P.M.—Whets the WINDSOR CASTLE left the
fleet, the enemy were hull down, fleeting for Fer-
rol. They have taken a South Sea whaler, but
there is no truth in the reported capture of the home-
ward-bound Antigua fleet. This information was
obtained from an Officer of the Windior Cattle."
We may foon expell to receive farther accounts
from Sir R. CALDER, for this brilliant commencement

will probably be followed by advantages Rill snore
decifive. It is indeed a proud thing that in the firß
innance a fleet which confined of twenty fail of the
line, should have been attacked and defeated, under
every difadvantage of wind and weather, by fifteen.
The numbers Rood thus :—We had

i 5 Sail of the Lice.
s Frigates,
s Cutters.

The enemy had

'so Sail of the Line,
3 FiftTlolo ShiPir
S Frigates,
3 Brip.

ss
Sir ROBERT CALDER was joined by Admiral S.ta
aiNG,and the five (hips of the line from off Roche-
fort, which raifed his force to fifteen. The orders for
this junnion were written to Admiral SrtaLtso, by
Lord BARN himfelf, and certainly the meafure
was highly judicious, for it would have ken roof ab-
turd to have kept our force difperfed in (mall divi-
lions, when by being united into a few ftrong fleets,
they were Cure to beat the enemy if they fell in with
them.
The enemy were en3eavouring to make for Ferrol,
and did every thing in their power to avoid an anion.
They are reported even to have carried a prefs of fail
during the while time; and, having no other with but
to get limiter in port, the French chips took no care
whatever of the Span& divifion, which teems to have
been more expofed to our fire than any other part of
the fleet. We underftand that a letter has been re-
ceived from Admiral STIRLING by his brother, Rat-
ing, that two other Span& (hips had (truck, befides 1
the two that were captured (which are now fate in
Plymouth) ; but, from the heavy fog, and night
coming on, it was impoffible to take pad:non of
them. The enemy, though they endeavoured as
much as poffible to get away, are reported to have

fought obßinately, and it would appear net without
&ill ; they teem to have preferred the advantages
they began with ;but all their exertions, and all their
fuperiority of numbers, were unable to counterba-
lance the intrepidity, vigour, and courage of our gal-
lant (cameo.
The accounts of the Rate of the wind on the :3d
are fo contradiCtory, that it is not eafy to for ma
corred opinion of the probable courfe of the enemy
after the altion. A note circulated yefterday in the
Welt end of the Town, Rated. that " the wind was
N. E. and our fleet to the eaßward of the enemy."—
On reference to our file we find all our Port letters
of that date, Rate the wind to have been at S. W. or
at W. S. W. and the wind could hardly be in a di&
ferent point at the time where the fleets met. If fo,
Sir ROBSILT was between the enemy and the land, and
direCtly in the way of their reaching either Corunna
or Ferrol, but they had the advantage of the wind.
They teem to have made what ufe they could of this
advantage : on the 24th the main bodies of the
fleets were 30 miles afunder, and only the look out
frigates on both fides in fight. Indeed one of our let-
ters Rates they had been for tome time entirely out of
flight. If, however, Sir Roster prevent their gaining
the port they were makingfor,it is more than probable
we (hall loon hear of a new engagement; for to the
Southward they have the chance of falling in with
Admiral Cos.sisowoov's fleet, alfo Admiral Bros-,
aaros's—and it is probable, from the courfe follow-
ed by Lord NILSON, that he would alto be to the II
Southward in time to intercept them in that diree-
, tion. Should the enemy follow a Northerly courfe,
they have Sir Roster CALORa again to oppofe them,
and potfibly Admiral Coanwaws. On the whole,
therefore, we may yet eapea a more complete de-
feat to befall them than they have experienced.—
Though even the drubbing they have had from inch
an inferior force muff cover them with !flame and
difgrace.
From the following table our readers will be able
to form a tolerably correct opinion of the difference
in the number of guns and weight of metal of the
two fleets }—

There was a report lag night of another enagage•,
went in confequence of the arrival of an Eaprefs at
the Admiralty before the Park and Tower guns
were fired.
The exprefs alluded to proved to be from Lord
KEITH, and had no relation to the combined fleets.
His difpatches Rate that there is an unufual bugle on
the enemy's coall, and that they appeared to be em.
barking troops in the different ports. From this it
thought they intend to attempt fornething &only,
but the news of the defeat of their fleet by Sir R.
CALDEI may probably caufe them to furpend their
operations for a time.

The Note of M. Novostyrzorr to- the Pruffian
Minifter, Count HARDIIIIIIIKOR which we yeftercluy
laid before our Readers, has occafioned a confidera-
ble fenfation among politicians; and, when the exul-
tation excited in the public mind by the glorious
vidory obtained over the Combined Fleets [hall have
fubfided, will, no doubt, be a fubjeit of much eon-
verfation and conjefture.—That the negociation for
peace is at an end is evident, but whether Raffia even yet
will accept a fubfidy from this country, and engage
heartily in the war is Rill doubted by many. A few
days will throw more light on this quetlion. and en-
able politicians to form an opinion how far it is pro-
bable that a general war on the Continent will be the
refult.
In our firft Page we have given Come farther ex-
tracts from the Dutch and French Journal, received
yefterday.
An article in the Dutch Papers Rates, that Ge•
neral HxDouvit.Ls is gone to Venice, and that a
French Commilllsry is tefident there already 1 Ge-
neral DU74OI4CF.AU is in the Dutch Camp at Zeift,
whither alto the Penfionary, Vim Scomust.ria-
INCE, has repaired, to grace with his prefence the
grand review of the 2111, which was to precede the
breaking up of the army for embarkation at Hel•
Voet and the Helder. AU the accounts from Hol-
land [peak of the fhipwrights and artificers being re-
moved with freed from one part to another, in order

to expodite the naval preparations ; and every („
zette announces the expeltation of great events ta:-
Mg place without delay.
The following article is inferred in the C;
wife, as extra4ted from a foreign Pa;,,T, no doubt .1
French one, and it is fo highly interetling, both it
its allufion to the project of an ;ovations and the ex.
petted refentment of the Court of St. Peterfburgh,
that we &all infert it in this place, as the hell cord.
lary upon the refleftions we have taken the liberty
of fubmitting upon thefe important topics :

Na vision I. will no longer delay the emu.
66 (ion of his grand plan ; he will fend out the Expe-
S 4 dition againft England, and compel that kingdcm
44 to make a feparate peace, before the powers oftl,e
41 Continent can join the fame. Probably the Dutcb
" will have the preference, and the game begin from
" their ports. At Montabaur a telegraph I's crating
" on a high mountain, by which the French, %%bile ent.
ployed on the Channel, will receive intelligence
46 from the North, with the celerity of lightning.....
gg That NAPOLFON I. has forefeen the poflibility of
" a great and fudden change in the difpofitions of the
44 powers of the Continent, and that he has deter-
" mined, at the fame time, to be beforehand with
" them, by an unexpeeled blow againft England, is
diffidently evident from his return from Italy, no
" lefs fpeedily than unexpeeled."
The Dutch Editor makes the Ilion but emphatic
remark upon this Paper, that, time will how how

far the writer of it is in the fecret." But it would
have been the jullcr obfervation to have faid that
time would Phew its truth or falfehood ; for the
Dutch Editor would not have dared to infert the
paragraph, unlefs it bad come to him from Come one
rode fecret.

On Tue.,lay the Duke of Yoa a, Generals Catvssr
