We inferred in the greater part of our imp-onion
of yeiterday, an extra& from a letter received by
Dr. GiRTNSHOR!, from Dr. CAIRN I, Surgeon of
his Majefly's (hip PRISMS Roves, one of Admiral
Coaxwast.ts's fleet, dated the 25th inft. announcing
that the Combined fleet had gnt into Corunna,
The following is a copy of the letter :

" His Majdty'a Ship, Princefs Royal, ar Breft,
" Thurfday, 25th July, My.

" We have been eruizing in the Bay of Difcay, for
about three weeks pafl, in hopes to fall in with the
French fleet from the Weft Indies ; but as they have
got into Corunna, in Spain, we have returned our
old Ration off Uthant, with twenty-one fail of the line,
fome frigates, and (mall veffels : the fleet is in excel-
lent order, and I believe very healthy, at leaft I can
fay for mine, that I have not a man confined to bed,
nor ill of any difeafe, two accidents excepted ;—nor
have I loft a man for twelve months pall from difeafe,
which you will allow is great fuccels, among 738
men, (hut up on board a (hip, and expofed to fudden
changes of weather, and liable to be up all night,
which is always the cafe with half the fhip's company,
as a watch to work the chip ; bnt if a fquall comes
on, then all hands are called, aad very often wet
perfectly to the &in, after rifing from their warm'
beds."

On the preceding letter, which canted a very ge-
tteral fenfation in the City laR night, we than offer
nn obfervations, till we have laid before our Readers
the following very important intelligence received at
the Admiralty this morning, and which was imme.
diately tent to Lloyd's, for the informatiog,of the
Merchants, and to fatisfy the public impatience at
the recent important cats:

" ADMIRALTY, JULY st, 7835.

.4 Lieutenant Nrcosson, commanding the FRISK
4' cutter, arrived this morning, with difpatches from
" Admiral Coanwar.tr s, inclofing a letter from Vice
" Admiral Sir ROBERT CILDBR, dated the 23d intl.
" by which it appears that on the preceding day, in
•lat. 43. 30. long. 21. 17. he had brought to anion
" the Combined Squadrons of France and Spain,
44 conning of twenty fail of the line and a number
• of frigates, and after engaging them for four hours,
" had fucceeded in capturing the Spanilh !hips San
• Rafael, of 84, and theFirme, of 74 guns, which he
is had ordered to proceed to England under protec.
" lion of his Msjefty'. (hip WSNOS,JR CASTLE, the lat-
" ter being crippled by the enemy's Ihnt. The fleets
" were left in fight of each other, and it was the in-
• tention of the Vice-Admiral, who had fourteen
64 fail of the line with him, to renew the anion on the
44 following day.
" No account has been received of the rquadron
SI under Lord NILSON.

Number of killed in his Majelly's Ships, 4t ;
wounded, 158 " •
That an anion has taken pl.ce between Sir R.
CALDElleil fquadron and the combined fleet is now
afcertained, arid that on the night of the 22d intl. he
bad captured two of the Bpanilh line of battle Ships.
Sir RoleaT intended to bring the enemy to a6ion
next day. Did he fucceed in this? Or have the ene-
my eluded him in the night, and made good their
retreat into Corunna ?
We hope the former, but certainly the latter is not
impotlible. There can be no doubt of the letter re-
ceived by Dr. Gaernstinaz being genuine. We
have had it in our bands. It is to be obferved the
writer fays nothing about the enemy's fleet, but inci-
dentally,as of a thing that mull have been known here.
He fays, 44 but as they have got into Cormana, in Spain,
we have returned," &c. &c. There is not another
word about the C4mbined Fleet in the letter.
Now this letter being dated on the 25tli, it is cer-
tainly poillisle the people in the Petecesi Row..
might not only have beard of the Combined fleet,
having got into Corunna, but alto of the previous
*Rion, in which Sir R. CaLtisa captured two of the
enemy's Mips I yet the writer might nth think of
eating the latter circumflance, prefuming that the
news would be known here before his letter arrived—
for be is only giving the reafon why his Ship had re-
turned to its did flation.7
It is pabli, however, that flne of the Ships be-
longing to Admiral COR)IWAL an fleet might be
ignorant of the contents etf the letter ti-anfmitted to
tllll by •Sir' RnilliT CA LnN a. Indeed We'kitow chit
his mull have been the cafe whit'saped 'to one Of
them; Pimp ITV a gra, for a lettei'dated on board that
fhitithe 26th, off Ulbant, (later. that the fleet under
the command of'Admiral coaxwat.Liq''had l:een

falling in with the Combined Squadrons, bnt had
not ACia nor heard any thing of them.
Though it has not fallen to the lot of Lord Net..
sow to atchieve this gallant aftion, he is not the Jeri

entitled to praife. His vigilance, aetivity, anJ life
fagacity, with which he traced nut the movements of
the enemy, evidently thew that he is fully intitled td
that confidence which has been placed in him.
Since writing the precetfins remark:, we have karat
that 'Mt:lira! Coven-Awes Difpatches are of the date
of_ infant. the 27t0 mficint. flop the prtyi to sate this
fait, as it may furaiA data to our Braden on which to
found their own conjedures.

In the STA& of Saturday lan, we briefly Rated that
M. NOVOSILTZOTF, the Plenipotentiary of his Impe-
rial Majefty of Ruflia, had not proceeded to Paris as
was expeeed, and that this delay had arifen in confe-
quence of the late annexation of the Ligurian Repub-
lic to France. We Rated alfo, on authority of the
firft refpatability, that a War between France -and
another great Continental Power, was believed by
the Minitlers of that Power to he unavoidable. That
we did not hazard thefe affertions on flight grounds,
will appear by the following extra& from Dutch
papers, to the :7th inft received laft night. The
uncommon aeivity which prevails at prefent in the
movements of the Autlrian troops, is certainly a
ftrong indication that Aullria begins to entertain the
fame fentiments as Ruffia, in regard to the views of
BoneP•wra.
