lately from the fleet off Toulon, fails for England the
firft fair wind: (he calls at Cadiz to take in about a
million of dollars.
" The affair off Toulon, of which I lately wrote
jou, ended in nothing. Two of our (hips of the line
and a frigate, were followed for tome time by a force
fo ttr.mg, that it would be imprudent in the Cam-
inander to court an engagement. He therefore re-
treated before them ; and he had tome hope. that
*bile they followed him, the main body of our fleet
might cut off the retreat of the enemy into port. The
French Commander, however, who was too cautious
to be drawn far away from the batteries, contented
lhirnfelf with firing Tome diltant !hots at our tiernmoff
Odra, and made into Toulon, before Lord Nwsou,
Who heard the firing, and made all the fail poffible,
could come up. If they venture to repeat this game,
our Tars only with they may be fortunate enough to
get between them and the more.

Artazos. we were nearly brought to salon by a
*cry itiperior fquadron of the enemy, whom Admi-
ral Cal47llfLt had been fent by Lord NbLSOIS to re-
connoitre: The main body of the fleet remained far
out of fight of tbc LW; bdt the weather was fo Very
fair, that the Rea,-Admiral was tempted to nand in
clofe, to get a good view of them. To the eaftward
of the harbour's mouth (in which dilation the road
is open) on our near approach it fell nearly calm,
and the gun boats immediately pulled towards us,
and commenced firing when we tacked, brit at fuels
a diltance that the thot fell lhort. The Admiral
fired in return. A moderate breeze by this time
fprung up, and the frptadron in the harbour were

that the chafed into Hieres Bay, during the
winter) opened a dillant teazing tire on the Don s

borne long patiently by Sir IttcHARD SRACH•I;who
