Difpalches were received this morning at the
Admiralty, which (late that Capt. Rastas, of
his Majefty's (hip Msacuar, of 28 guns, has cap.
cured, in the Mediterranean, a veffel having on
board Difpatches from the Flair Consul. to Ge.
neral Mitmou.
From the laft accounts-our Govertunent has re-
ceived, it is believed, that Gaprot exults has fuc.
seeded in landing 4.,000 men about 25 leagues to
the weftward of Alexandria.
The contents of yefterday's Extraordinary-Ga-
zette fet Sir Jamas SAUDI AR F Z higher, if pomble,
in the public eftimation, than even his former at-
chievements. The lots of the HAM/usu. has been
more than retrieved by the gallant anion of the
t xth of July, which is inferior to none of the
brilliant exploits that adorn our naval annals.
indeed, we are at a lofs which to admire moft,
the aftonifhing adivity with which the Admiral
repaired the fhips, which mutt have &find Co
much on the sthr or the daring courage with
which, fo Inferior is numbers, he attacked an
enemy fo infinitely fuperior. The Englifh (qua.
dron had to encounter an odds of two to one. The
Ponca could not be got to fta, Co that Sir J.
Bsursaaex had only five fhips of the line, the
CASAIp 811111011, VissiasLi, Sums, and Au-
Damns, to give battle to ten (hips of the line, for
the enemy had five Spanifk fhips from Cadiz, one
(hip under French colours, the three under Ad-
miral Liaoss, and the HANNIBAL, which they
itad manned. Betides this fuperiority, there were
kveral other French weird. from Cadiz, under
Admiral Durawolt. In addition to this there
were, on the fide of the enemy, an infinite num-
ber of gun-boats and other armed veffels.
Nothing, theirefore, fltevis in a more confpicimus
lagjlt the cottrage and enterprize of our navy, than
that five (hips of the line and a frigate, v.hich but
days before had been engaged and had fuf-

fered confiderably in &Rion, fhould have ventured
to engage inch a fuperior force. Nothing more
clearly thews the cowardice of the enemy, and
proves how much they were, on the sth, indebted
to the batteries on chore, than their condu& on the
tzth. In ftead of boldly corning into anion, they
endeavoured to [teal away into Cadiz. With a
fortune, however, which their gallantry fo well
deferred, our Tailors were enabled to punith them
for their empty boa& upon an accidental, fhort-
lived thecae.

From the brilliant fuccefs which attended the I
efforts of our fquadron on the evening of the
tath, we are entitled to conclude, that if all the
!hips could have come into anion, the vi&ory
would have been.attended with dill'greater fpoils.
The enemy in the courfe of the night, and during
tempeftuous weather, were able to effeEt their
efcape. On the morning of the t 3th, the Vswi.
assts brought a French chip to aCtion,but having
fuffered fo much in her marts, ihe was not in a
fituation to purfue s owing to this circumitance,
and a calm which took place, the French {hip got

away.
This Tiftory muft be conlidered, in every.refpee,
extremely glorious and important. The pride and
elation which the French tailors might have con-
ceived on a doubtful advantage, will now be dif-
pelled, and they will fink to their former confci-
oufnefs of inferiority. The Spaniards, who have
(offered fo cruelly by their zeal to aft their al-
lies, will be lefs prompt in hurrying into battles,
in which they have neither glory nor advantage to
obtain.
It certainly was handfome in the Portuguefe
frigate to go out with our fquadron, but the Cap-
tain by his name, appears to have been a Briton !
DoN JOAQylli de Mottetio, who commanded the
Spanifh fleet, was the fame who commanded all
the Spanifh gun-boats during the memorable liege
of Gibraltar, and was reckoned one of the heft and
molt alive officers in the Spanifh navy.

New York Papers up to the loth of June, were

unimportant and unintereiting. We have faceted
the only articles in the flightea degree worthy of
obfervation.

It is generally underftood that the Prefident
has determined to difcontinue the Argerican Le-
g ition to the Court of Lifbon and thp Batavian
Republic. This refolution is Paid to have originat-
ed in confederations of national ceconotiy, and a
with to fnperfede the prefent delicate forms of di-
plomatic connection with thefe powers. It is con-
ceived that every necetary commercial relation
with thefe Rates may be kept up by the appoint-
ment of refpeetable Conic's, with powers ftrialy
appropriated to the intercourfes of trade, and en-
tirely divefted of the routine of diplomatic cere-

An official Letter from the American Canful
at Gibraltar, dated the szd of Aprft, is wholly
(dent on the fubjt& of a Declaration of War by
the Dar of Algiers againft the United States.
K A Letter from an Officer at Fort William
gives Conte room for fufpe&ing that the difpofi.
bons of the Creek Nations are not of the most friend-
ly kind. A meeting of thefe tribes was fhortly
erpeeed ; and apprehenfions were entertained that
fame hoftile meafures were in agitation.

" Colonel Homrmasas, who during the Ame-
rican War was the Aid-de-Camp and confidential
friend of General Wasnisoros, has been recalled
from Madrid, and Mr. Cmaat.as Pisces's', of
South Carolina, has been nominated Minifter to
that Court. It is Paid that Mr. Pircsmay folicited
a rniMon to London, but was informed that Mr. ,
KING was at prefent employed in a negociation,
which he conducted mueb to the fatisfadion of the
T, who had confequently requelled him
to continue in London till the aczt opening of
Congrefs.

" Mr. BALDWIN, if Georgia, was very impor-
tunate for the appointment to Madrid, and the no-
mination of Mr. Pia exams has given rife to a con-
fiderable degree of difcontent. It appears indeed
that from the very numerous applications made to
till up the feveral vacancies which the appointment
of the new Preftdent has occafioned, the y 114 ave been
produfrive of the utmoft trouble and difficulty to
the Executive Government."

THREATENED INVASION.

The great body of the French prifoners are now
removing to Liverpool, that being a fituation the
molt remote from any point at which an invalion

can be attempted.
At Briftol it is imagined that that city will be the
objea of attack by the enemy, for the purpofe of
liberating the prifoners at Stapleton, dec. who now
exceed three thoufand. The Volunteers were
muttered on Friday, for the purpofe of afcertain-
ing what effedive force. may really be depended
on by Government in cafe of any fudden emergen-
cy or landing of the enemy. The meeting was
highly creditable to the members ; and feveral
pntlemen who had receded from the corps, deem-
ing their military duty to interfere with their pri-
vate vacations, returned their former Rations.
Along the Briftol Channel and Welch coati or-
derly dragoons have been Rationed for the pur-
pofe, fhould an enemy appear, of making imme-
diate communication to the General of the Dittrid.
Two dragoons are likewife polled on each fide the

paffage.
A large fleet of bomb-veffels and gun-boats are
affembled in the Downs; they are under failing
orders, and cape& hourly to proceed to their def-
tination.
There are above 6o fail of veffels of war crulz-
ing between the Downs and the French coati.
Two regiments are employed in erecting batte-
ries on the bills about Dover Cattle, and feveral
68-pounders, arid mortars of the Ltrgeft defcrip-
tion, are placing on them.
A party of the foot-guards are regularly ezer-
cited every morning and evening, in the Park, with
eight field-pieces, previous to their being employed
on anal femme. They are already very expert
in the management of the guns, to each of which
15 of them are attached, betide the artillery men.
Magazines of bread, oats, &c. are now filling
at Burntwood, Bithops-,Stortford, and Stebbing,
in Effex, for the fupply of his Majefty's troops
Such was /teemed the exigency of this fervice, that
waggons were delivering their loads all Sunday
left at the former towns.
A large encampment is now forming on the
(bore of St. Ofyth, between the Colne and Morn-
ingtree rivers, on the Effie coati: a part of the
prefent nrong ganifon pf Colchefter is ordered
to take this ground.
Four compleat parks of artillery, forming a hol-
low fquare, are fo arranged at Woolwich, as to
be able to fet off, at a moment's wanting, to any
part of the country. The horfes are harneffed in
the centre, and the drivers and engineers fleep on
the fpot. In the rear of the guns, which are in
general nine and twelve-pounders, are the rbevaux
de frife, ammunition waggons, and all the other
apparatus that appertains to a complete park of
artillery. .
The Royal Cornwall Militia h7ve received or-
ders to encamp, and only wait the arrival of g
part of their camp equipage. They exped to be
joined by lonic troops of hone. The ground is
marked out on the gilds of Pendennis Cattle, and
one company has already taken its Ration there.—
Pickets are polled from the genii.= to Swanpool,
who nightly patmle the coati. The fortifications
of the garriGin, which have lately undergone very
contiderahle repairs, are now nearly complete,
and, with the number and weight of the artillery
on the ramparts, prefent the moll formidable
alpeft. On 'the apprehenfion of an attempt of
the enemy in that quarter, the volunteers of the
neighbouring towns will be ordered to join this
encampment.
On Thurfday evening the Newcaftle Volunteers
were muttered in the Btgg Market, in confequence
of Colonel Ci.zewert. having received a Circular
Letter from Lord Hoarier, requefting that the
Volunteers would hold themfelves in perfe& rea-
dinefs to march, in cafe the enemy (hould make
any attempt at Invafion :—The Corps unanimouf-
ly requefted, that Colonel Clan mart. would im-
mediately repeat, to Lord Muroaays, their offer
of fervice on any part cif the Coati, between the
Rivers Tees and Tweed; and alfo further add,
that, if his Lori:Blip thought proper, they would
take charge of the Town. The Corps has alto re,
ceived orders to have 36 rounds of ball cartridgeal
per man fent from the Rores at Tynemouth.
Laft week the North York Militia marched from
Newcaftle for the encampment at Fulwell, near
Sunderland. Two troops of the 4th Dragoons alto
left that town on Wednefday, for Hezham and
Morpeth; where they are to remain during the
affizes.
The Cambridgefhire Yeomanry Cavalry have
given notice, that as their number is reduced from
64 to 22, they (ball fufpend any further mutter,
until their number is increafed fufficiently to ren-
der chart of lonic utility, in cafe their fervices
fhould be called for.
On Tuefday the tath ult. the Granton Volun-
teem, commanded by Captain GRANT, of Tul-
lochgorum, and the eight companies compofing
the Sttathfpey Volunteer Battalion, under the
command of Lieutenant-Colonel Ga a N r, of Aches%
nick, amounting to boo rank and file, were in-
fpeCted in the fquare of Granton by Major Bair sta,l
in pretence of Sir jamas GRANT, of Grant, Lord
Lieutenant of the county of Invernefs, on whole
efface of Strathfpey th• whole of this fine body of
men were railed.
On Friday the a4th ult. the Volunteers of Lin-
lithgowfhire, confining of four companies of in-
flurry, and two troops of Gentlemen and Yee..
manry Cavalry, were infpetted by Lieutenant-
General VTIII, in the vicinity of Hopetown-houfe.
Monday fe'nnight the Girvan Volunteers, under
the command of Major Bovo, were reviewed by
Major-General Deur mono.
According to the laft letters from Holland, the
Dutch fleet in the Texel is preparing to put to lea,
and Admiral Da Wierea has returned from the
fquadron at Helvoctfluys, where he organized the
fre(h levied feamen, to the Hague, to receive in-
ftruetions from the Direetory relative to the fail.
ing and plan of operations of the Batavian fleet.
