SIR R. CALDER.

" Lieutenant-General Don Fianaatco Gaavtr♦
has written to the Mon Excellent Gebera!Moan the
Prince df PeAce, from Vigo, dated 28th July, in the
following terms :

Cape Finitterre bearing to E. se leagues.
" Mnsr EXCELLENT SIR, MY LORD-....0n the 22d
July the Combined Squadron was Randing with the
wind W.N.W. formed in three lines to the E.S.E. the
horizon being covered by thick fogs. At noon the
look out velfels made the fignal of having dilcover-
ed twenty-one fail in the N.N.E. and that the
greater pat t were of the line. We immediately form•
ed the line of battle to larboard, tht Spanith fqua-
dron forming the van, with myfelf at the head, and
the French Admiral in the centre of the line. The
enemy, confiding of fifteen fail of the line, three of
i which were three deckers, and two cut downs, flood
on the contrary tack, with the intention, as it ap-
peared, of cutting off our rear; to avoid which the
French Admiral made the fignal to wear, and Rand
on the oppolite tack, which was immediately obeyed.
The ha thip of the rear being covered, the Argo-
cauta, on board of which I hoilled my flag, began
the attion with the rear of the Engin (at a quarter
before five o'clock), who, on acconnt of the fog, had
not perceived the movement we had executed. The
enemy's fquadron hauled their wind.and a very warm
adion immediately commenced, within half cannon
flint, between our van and the whole If the enemy's
line, which fucceffively extended itfelf to the centre
of our line. The fog was fo thick that, notwith-
Randing our proximity, we at times 101 l light of them.
The fire was very well kept up during the adlion.—
We law a three decker without her forema“, and
another veffel without her main and mizen maß.
The battle continued with our an and centre until
pall nine o'clock, when the enemy bore up. and the
affirm ceafed. On the morning of the 23d, at break
of day, although the weather was (till f tggy, we
' found that two of our flips were miffing, and
that they were the San Rafael and the Firme. We
dikovered the enemy on the other tack ; we immedi-
ately formed the line and chafed, having remarked
:hat they had thtee difmalted (hips in tow, and that
their line confided of only thirteen Ibips of war, in-
cluding one difmafled of its fore topmalts. We con-
tinued the chafe the whole day without avail, as the
tacitly manoeuvred to avoid a letond encounter. The
tame took place *on the 24th, on the morning of which
:fay, we faw them to windward, crowding all fail,
Arid clofe hauled with the wind from the N.E. On
the 25th, at day break, the wind blowing tient from
the North Eaii, we were out of fight of the enemy,
and during the day we faw Cape Finillerre bearing
Idue EaR. In this fituation, with the wind againti
our getting into Ferrol, many of the Fterreh thipshav-
ing only fix days water on board, and having a! bve
1300 tick and wounded in the fquadron, without she
Ineceffiiry fucconrs, it was determined to come to Vigo
to provide what was neeetfary; As loon as I receive
the details from each (hip, they (hall be forwarded to
your Excellency. In this a6ion, thefixibip under my
comma have fought with the greatell bravery, and
I confider the Englith fquadron 's having avoided a
fecond attack to have been canted by the 'dainage
they had received in the fince the forces of the
two fleets were equalized by the quality of the (hips,
we having on our fide no three deckers; and two (mall
[hips of 64 guns."

A Spanilis privateer, commanded by an American,
named Hooper, has captured a fhip of 400 tons, from
Liverpool for New York, and a Dutch brig from
New York for the Well Indies; as alfo a Bermudian
