whole of the fleet may,now be supposed to have en-

the arrival here yesterday of the Islay packet, MAC..
RAY Master, we find that the account, stating that a
heavy firing had been heard, as it proceeding from
the entrance of the North Channel, is fully corrobo-
rated. The firing is said to have cOntintled four hours.
Mr. MACKAY mentions, that the fishermen from the
Runs of Islay assured hint they, saw vessels engaged,
and that one of them was distinctly ascertained to be
ship-rigged—the other could not be so well seen, from

The Niobe Hospital ship, lately fitted at Ports-
mouth, under the direction of Dr. BURNETT to attend
the Russian fleet and guards to Cronstadt, is returned
to the Downs, bringing very pleasing accounts of the
termination of that service, and of the flattering at-
tention with which Dr. BURN ETT and the Captain Of
the Niobe were received in Russia by his Imperial
p Majesty :ind family. The Emperor ALEXANDER
seems fully to appreciate the enthusiastic reception
' he experienced in England, and repeatedly expressed
himself n 3 less pleased with this last mark of atten-
tion by the British Government, and with the man-
ner in which it had been conducted.
