BATTLE OF TRAFALGAR.

The Gazette of Saturday (fee our IA Page), eon.
thins the diipatches from Lord COLUNCWOOD, al-
luded to in the Notice of the Admiralty publilhed in
our laft. The difpatches are dated only four days
Later than thofe by the Picini. It does not appear
that there was any new tiElion when GRAVISNA
put to fea with a view to recover the chips that had
been captured. There hems no truth in the report
too, that be had 101 l an arm, as Rated in the letters
from Cadiz of the 22d, giving an account of the en-
gagement.

From the returns hitherto made, we are happy to
find that the lofs is much lefs than had been fuppofed.
From feveral fhips no return has been made, owing
to difficulty of communication, from the (late of the
weather.

There were reports that tome of our !hips had Cul-
fered much from the (form ; but, we are happy to
hear that no accident has occurred to any of them.
By a letter received by Mr. PICKEILILL, engineer
of the piers at Whitby, from his fon, a Lieutenant
on board the REVENGE, a new 74, it appears that
Chip bore a very diftinguilhed part in•the late glorious
viaory off Cadiz, being at one period of the aelion
furrounded by no lets than four of the enemy's (hips,
which the beat off. Lieutenant Pt ce samit.t. (peaks
of the perfonal bravery difplayed by his Commander,
Captain MootsoM, during the arduous conflia with
a force fo greatly fuperior, in the higheft tcrms of ap•
plaufe.

The following letters, received by the Li(bon mail
furnifh fome additional particulars of the battle off
Trafalgar, and poffefs us of the Spanifh account of
that affair. By one of them we lament to hear, that
Captain HARDY, of the ZEALOUS, had died there.—
One of the letters from Lifbon, of the 4th, fags:—
" Accounts are jua received from Algarve, that the
whole of Admiral COLLINGWOOD'S prizes have been
either burnt or funk." The flaughter on board GRA-
MIA'S flag flip is flared to have compiled fizteen
officers, and nearly three hundred foldiers and Tailors,
and that 234 more were wounded.

CADIZ. OCTOBER 22.
At ten in the morning of the 2 ill, the comlsined
fquadron formed in line, handing on a courfe to the
Straits, in fight of the Englifh ; the latter endea-
voured to cut the line, and effefted it, which threw it
into confufion : a cannonade commenced, which laft
ed from two o'clock in the afternoon till evening ;
and in the morning of OA sad, there anchored be-
tween Rota and the Caftle of St. Catharine, the Prin-
cipe de Afturias, with the lots of her top gallant mail ;
the Leandro, with only her furemaft handing ;—the
Rayo and two others ; as alfo feven French drips,
with four frigates and two brigs : of all the reft of.
the fquadron, nothing is pofitively known, but from
the obfcurity of the horizon, with continual rain and
bad weather from the fouthward, thole which are
miffing and clifinafted are not alone in danger, but
alto thole which have anchored, if the weather con
tinues.

NELSON gained his end at the expence of rendering
ufelefs his own (hips and two others. The aEliqn, it
is faid, was renewed on the sad in the morning, af
ter fuch a manner, that it is believed many of the
Englifh (hips are reduced to mere hulks. The mif-
fortune is, that we have not enough of (mall flips
able to give ainflance. As foon as the weather
`clears up, and we know exaaly what has happened,
1 will inform you.

ANOTHER LITTER FROM CADIZ.

I confirm mine of the 18th, in regard to the com-
bined fquadron. It began to get under fail on the
igth inltant, with a wind at N. N. E. At ten A. M.
it changed to W. and not being able to make any way,
thole which got out remained in tight.
On the 2oth, at day break, the wind got to the
Southward, which enabled the whole fquadron to get
out, fo that at ten o'clock they were all united. The
wind was fiat, the horizon dark and dole, with rain,
Cu that they were Coon loft fight of.
In the afternoon it was celm ; they flood on to.
wards the fouthward, and on Monday the 21ft, !hap.
cd their courfe for the Straits. At two P. M. they
commenced a fevere aCtion with the Englifh at the
dittance of five or fir leagues from this port, which
lafted tall yelpers.
We law a fhip blow up, but we are yet ignorant
what the was. This morning there anchored at the
mouth of this harbour the fir(t fquadron of abferva•
tion, with tome French frigates and brigs. The re-
Cult, it appears, is not favourable. There are various
reports. They are landing the wounded.
The weather is rainy and gloomy, with the wind
at South, all contrary to thofe unfortunates, who are
at lea Rill. May GOD have pity on them ! My
friend, an unlucky failing, but a worfe lot ! a bad
refult, and a fad painful day for Cadiz !
The following is a corred lift of the French and
Spanifh line of battle.

The Ruffian Generals DEPRERADOZITTCH, (be-
longing to the Guards), and KOLACIRIW.OFF, (of the
Hears), have been difiniffed from the army, on
account of a dael.

On Saturday accounts were received by Govern- 1
ment from the Expedition under the orders of Sir D.
BAIRD and Sir Home POPHAM. Having refrefbed at
Madeira, they left that ifland on the 3d ult. in perfeß
health. The MALABAR man of war, with the EAR
indiamen and tranfports from Cork, had arrived at
Madeira, and were getting under weigh from that
`Wand on the 3d ult.
