It is reported very currently that orders have been
Seed from the War Office, to prepare camp equi

page for 4o,oooinfantry,and to,ooo cavalry, de fl incd
for fervice on the Continent. This may, perhaps,
be corree, but it is at the fame time as confidently
reported that a number of merchant veffels, hired for
tranfport fervice, have been, for the prefers', laid alide.

No farther accounts have been received from the
Continent. It is undertlood, however, that by the
laft arrival, Government received intelligence of the
Ruffians and Swedes having paired the Elbe on the
Loth, t tth, and tall, and that they now cordially
co-operate with the Profhairs in Hanover. Accounts
have, it is raid, been alto received of a large body of
RuWan troops having landed at Venice from Corfu,
and having fine joined the Archduke CHARLES on
the Brenta.

It is confidently reported that a Dutch paper of
the 16th has been received in town, by a private
channel, which mentions a great battle having been
fcnght on or about the 6th, the particulars of which
had not been (offered to tranlpire. We have not been
able to obtain a fight of the paper.

A gentleman who carpe by the lafi packet from the
Continent Rates, that the las fliftail,ed by the French
in the actions which preceded the capture of Ulm,
amounted to upwards of thirty thonfand men !
What a difference between this and the number Rated
in the Mositeur, viz. fifteen hundred. A few fuch
victories would ruin Bop/ Ant AT E'S army.

The fame gentleman Rates, that it was currently
reported that Boraratra bad tefolved to ereS the
Eledorate of Bavaria into an in-DEPENDENT
kingdom. by adding thereto the territory taken from
the Empetor of Germany in the prefent campaign,
and thereby to limit the Aollrian territorics.

entertained, was cruising off that port when the failed
from it. The Maher hates, that it was by no means
undertiood at Cadiz, that Lord liktsou had affumed
the command of the &kith fquadron at the time the
Combined Fleet left that port. When the remnant
of the fleet returned and gave the intelligence of the
capture of the refit, the whole place was in a (late of
the ntmoft conhernation, and thole that announced
the difaller feemed equally aflonifhed. It was ad-
mitted, at both Cadiz and Vigo, that the lots fuf
tained by the Combined Fleets amounted in all to
twenty-two fail of the line.

Difpatclus were yellerday received at the Admi-
ralty from our fleet off Breft. The enemy had not
for fonic time made any movement which called for
increafed a6livity on the part of Admiral Coem-
WALLIS.

Difpatches have been received from Admiral
Coc BRAN E, brought to Greenock lafi Saturday night
by the armed (hip Governr.r PiElon, Capt. RITCHI B.
They arc dated Trinidad, the later end of Septem-
ber, where the Admiral had arrived with the Not-
TH UMBERLAND,Of 74 guns, and the BEAULIEU and
ETH ALUM frigates, a few days before the Pition fail.
ed. The convoy was to leave Trinidad on the 81
ultimo.

A very gallant aftion has been fought in the Weft
Indies by his Majefty's fchonner Mozastatctst it, of 12
guns, and 46 men, commanded by Lieutenant Jour/
CAMPBELL. In returning from Tortola, whither
fhe had efcorted a detachment of (hips from the other
iflands to join tse late convoy, the fell in with the fa-
mous French privateer Grand Decide, of 3o guns,
and 250 men. The Frenchman, confident of making
this little bark his prize, dafhed alongfide, hot met
with fuch an unexpedled and warm reception, that he
was obliged loon to haul off to repair his damages.
He began the attack a fecond time with no better
fuccefs, as the gallant little crew of the MozastatcLye
fought with redoubled courage, and fo tore up the
privateer that fhe was obliged finally to fheer off.
Our little bark, however, purfued the flying French•
man with a determination to take him by boardink
which the height of the netting prevented. As an
adieu, however, they gave the privateer a third and
complete mauling. Lieutenant CAMPBELL rsceived
great praife for his intrepid condusq, and the Admiral,
it is laid, was immediately to promote him.
The Governor Pidon left Trinidad on the eft ult.
under convoy of his Majefty's fchooner PREVOST ;
came to windward of, and looked into Tortola, and
parted from her on the 3d, clear of Grenada. On
the Bth, fpoke the Danifh brig Anna Elizabeth,
CRC/ORMOLU, from Sr. Thomas, bound to Copenha-
gen, which kept company for three days, parted
from her in chafe of a French fchooner privateer,
which had been hovering about them, and loft her
in the night. On the (sth, in ht. 25. 21. long. 63.

which they took to be a Britilh frigate. On the ;ft
infl. in lat. 46. 40. long. 38. 31. fpoke the brig Mary,
Sawnzasorr, from Newfoundland, bound to Lifbon,
two other brigs in fight, part of a fleet which failed
Flom thence for Portugal, under convoy of the JA.
MAICA frigate, and parted from her the day before.
The letters from Trinidad notice the excellent Rate
of health enjoyed by the inhabitants, and (peak in
high terms of the improvements made throuLhout
the Ifland.
There were feveral letters from Rotterdam, of the
(4th, (hewn publicly nn the Exchange, that fuch was
the univerfal diarefs in Paris for money, that no
fewer than t away:four Bader, had flop payment,
and that the bank paper bore a difcount of 12 per
cent.

Private letters have been received from Paris, dated
7th inn. which mention that the death of the gallant
Capt. WRIGHT did not take place till the ill, though
the Paris Papers of the 29th of tall month, nun-
tioned it as having occurred on the 27th.

of the Temple lately blew out his brains ; but previ•
oully fent to three Foreign Ambaffadots at Paris, an
account of the Coffering, and death of Capt. WRIGHT,
