An open Boat from the Fleet off Brel arrived at
Falmouth on the 231 inflant, and reported that the
whole of the fleet, except thee frigates, and two brigs,
had gone to the weaward, under a heavy prefs of
tail, in confequence of difpatches from Plymnnth.

The difpatches alluded to mug be thole that were
fent nut after the arrival of the Cuataux.

Of late there teems to be a more than 011mill:runic
on the French coati. We have had occallon-within
thefe few days to mention two engzgements.between
our cruizers and the enemy's craft. By eur Deal'
letter of this day we have been informed of another.
The VoLCANO bomb has come into the Downs after,
an engagement with about so of the French flotilla,
bound to Boulogne, which the VOLCANO, aCied no
doubt by other vefrels, though they are not mentioned
in our letter, forced to take refuge in the harbour of
Dunkirk.

A Mail arrived ieflerday from Jamaica, brought
to. Falmouth by the Princefs Augufla packet, but a.
the left Jamaica (even days before the STAUNCH glin-
t:rig, which arrived hill week from ,that ;nand, (he
brings ha dlv any new,. (See our Falmouth letter.)
The ddpatches hourly expe&ed from Lord NELSON
have not yet arrived. The opinion of naval men
eilimating the refpeftive fwiftnefs of the two fleets,
from the time of their (pitting Antigua till the Ds•
CADS left Lord Nst.soN's fleet, is, that his Lord-
!hip, if he do not mifs the enemy's courfe, might
come up with them in about lat. 40 to the S. E. of
the great Newfoundland Bank.
Should Lord Neesow have followed the right
eourfe of the enemy, it is probable that by this time
be has had an aftion, and this very circumllance
may have retarded hi's voyage , for, had his Lord
fhip come araight for England, he moil have been
here by this time. He may, however, have gone to
the coaft of France or Spain in put fuit of the enemy
if he miff-d them in his coutfe ; but, even in that
cafe, we ought very foon to hear from his Lord(hip.
It is aprebended by fome wl.ofe opinion is entitled
to confideration, that the Combined Fleet may have'
• followed a courfe North about (round the North of
Scotland) to get into the North fca, and join the
Tercel fleet. Should they fucceed in effeeing this,
we have no force in that quarter that could offer any
effeCtual refillance to their palling the Straits of
Dover, and bringing nut their flotilla from Calais
and Boulogne, to attempt the long threatened inva-
lion. We hope Miniflers will not be inattentive to
this hint.

We fitbjoin two letters from Lord NELSON'S fleet,
received from Lifbon by the loft mail. One of them
is dated the aoth June, but this is probably a miflake.
It was the general opinion throughout the fleet,
that the enemy were either running for Cadiz, or fur
the Straights of Gibraltar, for the purpofe of getting
back to Toulon.
