In the preceding columns we have given every
thing worthy of the fmalleft notice in the French
papers which arrived yefterday.
The aftion reported in thefe papers to have taken
place at Algeziras, and on which we could not
yefterday, owing to the latenefs of their arrival,
offer a tingle remark, will occalion not a little ex-
ultation in France, from the way in which it has
been Rated. We believe, however, that when all
the fads !hall be known, it will torn out that the
enemy have nothing to boaft of, and that the Bri-
tifli flag, inftead of being tarnifhed, has acquired
frefh glory.

There cannot be a doubt that the Englifh (qua.
dron alluded to, was that under Sir JAME. &au-
sesasz, for the HANNIBAL was with him, and Sir
JAPIRS was known to be in the neighbourhood of
Gibraltar. The following is a lift of his fquadron :
The CABAL of 8o guns, (the flag fhip) Capt.
Bass-row ; the Porn', 8o guns, Captain STIR-
LINO ; the AUDACIOUS, of 74 guns, Sir ROBERT
BARLOW, Kra. ; the Kinn 'tut, of 74 guns, Capt.
FERRIS; and the S►encsl, of 74 guns, Captain
DARN; the THISEs frigate, of 3a guns, Capt.

Hott.as (a&ing) I the UNICORN frigate, of 32 guns,
Captain Wawa', and the Si R T. PALear brig, of

6 guns. •
As the enemy reptcfent our number to have
been twice that of their own, it is plain how much
aid they mat have derived from the batteries
of Algeziras, which are extremely heavy and
powerful. But in fpite of this aid, they mull have
been hard put to it when they could not prevent
a few gunboats from carrying off one of our 1;f.
abled veffels, and which they fay had (truck. Thi4
circumflance leads usto fufped thatthe HANNIBAL,
which they boalt of having captured, had rue
aground, and confequently could not be brought
off by any difplay of bravery ; and we think it
probably will turn out, that a number of her hands
efcaped in the gun-boats which carried off the
other veffel.
We can afford to lofe a veffel now and :her,
provided we only obtain an equivalent, and it wi!T
tarn out that on the prefent occafion we have more
than obtained one. From the names of fome or
the French veffels;they appear to have been part of
thole which failed from Brett with Gear HEAVME.
They bad been purfuing Come Englifh Blips (pr(
bably merchantmen) on the coaft of Provence,
and, perhaps, were to join frefh reinforcements at
Toulon, or in fome Spann port, when they were
hindered by falling in witicSir JAMES SAL:MAI-1Z !
The obje& of their voyage, whatever it was, is
completely defeated, and the troops they had on
board, which certainly had a diffl-rent &Rita.
tion than to man batteries at Algeciras, mull
remain where they are un their (hips undergo a
proper repair.

It appears that it was not without reafon that
the Monitnir lately complained of divifions among
the Generals in the army of Egypt. Generals
Raceme and DUMAS, witl► Brigadier General
&tyke and other Officers of inferior rank came
home in the Lodi. Nothing could have induced
thefe very diftinguithed Generals to return in :ha
critical Rate of affairs, except a difagreement with
Minot); and the lots of fo much military talent
muff be felt, unlefs the faeeion which thefe men
nourifited was found to be totally inconfillent with
difcipline. Maxon, we apprehend, is a man of
no military (kill; but the terms on which he flood
with Raotitsa and others, and their known re-
luetance to remain in Egypt, prevented him or
the fervice profiting from their abilities. It is a
fingular thing that, before Maeon's arrival, LA-
NUSss, who commanded, made one or two attacks
on our polls with lets than one half of the whole
that Mambo had on the alit March, in which he
was rather repulfed than defeated, as the Com-
mander in Chief was.
The report of an aaion in the Adriatic is not
confirmed by fubfequent accounts from the places
where it originated. Neverthelefi, We have heard
that perfons in office attach fome credit to the re.
port of an aaion, and it is even Paid that private
accounts from Vienna reprefent it as favourable
to this country.
The French Funds are 43k.
By the Lifbon Mail which arrived yellerday, we
learn, that it is now underflood at Lifbon that
the French Government will not ratify the trea-
ty of Badajos. In confequence of this informa-
tion, the Portuguefe make a Phew of the
moft vigorous preparations to defend their coun-
try. Thefe preparations, however, appear to be
too late. General Sr. Cra had advanced to
Santerem, a town in Portugal, 55 miles from Lif-
bon. The Duke trAt.rosxs, with part of the
Portuguefe army, has left Abrantes, and proceed.
ed to the North aft frontier, in order to oppofe
Sr. CYR, and for this purpofe he has taken a fa•
vourable potation. It is not very probable, how-
' ever, that the troops, which could not refill:the
Spaniards, will be able tq contend with the
French. Notwithftanding the buftle made at Lir.
bon, we fee no chance of their being able .to hold
out. .They mutt capitulate on the terms which
the enemy may chute to di&ate.

Yefterday the Marquis of Bo cc Imo w•ii, as
Commanding Officer of the Bucks Militia, receiv-
ed orders from the War-Office to march his regi-
ment immediately fromChelmsford to Colchelier
barracks ; and an order was at the fame time ailed
by Lieutenant General Bs:. von a, commanding that
Diftria, for all the Volunteer Corps, both horfe
and foot, to be called out without lois of time.
Detachments of artillery will immediately march
to firengthen the principal points on the Kent and
Suffex coat.

Lord BILAYIROOII, Lord Lieutenant of Vex,
fummoned the Deputy Lieutenants and Magif-
trates of the county to meet him yeflerday at the
Shire Hall, Chelmsford, to take into confideration
the bell mode of defence for that county, and par-
ticularly for the Coalt in cafe of invafion by the
enemy. Orders for driving the cattle to the in-
terior are expel ed to be immediately iffued.

Orders have been fent down to the Lords Lieu-
tenants of different Maritime Counties, to order
the Cattle and Magazines to be removed farther
into the interior.
