We have at length obtained authentic, but on-
pleating, information, in regard to the Combined
French and Spanith fquadrons. Yeßerday at half
paft (even P. M. his Majefty's (hip HERO, of 74 guns,
Captain GARDNER, arrived at Portfmouth with dif-
patches from Sir Roaster CALDER, Rating that the

which joined them at tea, and thofe lying in that port,

letin was this morning fent to Lloyd's Coffee-houfe :

Notwithftanding the bottle of preparation mani-
felled lately at the Texel and lielvoetfluys, as well
as in other ports of Holland, it does not appear that
any movements of confequence have taken place
either at Mend or Flufhing, as will be ken by the
following letter :

" OFF OSTEND, AUGUST I.
" As you have heard that all is bugle and hurry
at the Tezel and Helvoetfluys, you are no doubt
anxious to know what the enemy are doing in our
neighbourhood : the only anfwer I can give is, nothing
at all that we can perceive. The frigates remain in
the bafon at Flu(hing, and in the fame (late in which
ekey have been for many months paft. We few them
yefterday, being fent in to reconnoitre, and at Oftend
there is not a vellel of force to be feen. At Antwerp,
we nnderfland, the (hipwrights are bnfily employed
in building feveral large (hips. This is all that we
can learn at prefent."

was defended. The Rajah, who had fhut hirnfelf Up in

the Commander in Chief, acing under the orders of

cede to.

of compromife, alike honourable to the all'ailants and
affaled, would ultimately take place.
