PLYMOUTH, FEB. 4.
tate Taft evening arrived here his Majeity's (hip
tONCORIN Of 36 gni:, Capt. BARTON, from the
tbon Ration : on her arrival an officer, it is Paid,
went off immediately, by Exprefs, for London.
It appears, that on herivoyage to England, the

fell in, en the :USA alt. about 3o leagues from
Cape Finifterre, with five fail of French line of
battle flips, and two frigates, which gave &ace to
her, and a partial aftion foon took place, between
her and one of the frigates, when the other French
frigate, bearing down upon her, and the line ofl
battle Ihips being at no great diftance, the CONCORD
was obliged to tnake fail from them in a running
fight, to prevent being captured : during the en-
gagement, the CONCORD had 4. men killed, and is
wossadedr and the Ihip was very much cut in her
hull, =as, falls, and rigging : Om is now going up
Ham:tote to refit.
' the number of Alm elf sahib the French
rquadron was compored, it femme likely to be the
one that was chaced and blocked up in Villain
Bay, by the (hips under the command of Sir En.
wasp PILJAW if fo, they have efcaped the vigi.
lance of that alive and perfevering officer by Tome
unlocked-for circurnflance that favoured their de-
figns, and which he had not the power to guard
againft or prevent : by the courfe they were fteer.
ing, it is very probable, that their deflination may
be for Egypt ; or as Tome others fnppofe, were
bound on a cruize for the purpofe of intercepting
the Englifh convoys. A very large fleet for LiE
bon, Oporto, and the Mediterranean, are now an
their voyage, under the ekert of a few frigates ;
and a very large fleet at Oporto have been waiting
a convoy to bring them to England, for Tome
month, pafl ; whether either of there may be the
objeß of this fquadron's cruize, time will difclofe.
P. S. The French fquadron were fleeting N. NV. at
the time the Conceit:a fell in with them ; the nth&
between her and the French Frigate was fhort but
finart, and the Frenchmen's fire was foon fdenzed,

and fhe would have been in poffefflon foon, had
not the fquadron bare down to her afrallanee : the
Coscoan had 5 killed, and so wounded, 5 of the
Litter mortally : it is fuppofed that the fquadron

got out of port in a fnow form, but their deftina-
tion is not known : the Coscoan had a Swede in
'law from Nance to Malaga, which the cal off.
