of our Readers :

" His Majeßy's (hip Deimos, which joined the
41 fleet under Admiral CORSWALLIS 011 the asd
" reports, that on the 13th, off Cape Ortegal,
" the had fallen in with his Majelly's (hip Primula,
46 Captain BAUR, having in tow the French frigate
Didon, of 44 guns and Soo men, which the had
" captured on the toth,after a revere affirm of three
" hours, in lat. 43. 16. N. long. is. 14. W.
" On the 14th a large fleet of the enemy were fern
" in the N. E. quarter, having their heads to the
" Northward and Weßward, a frigate from which
44 came near enough to the DRAGON to make out
" what the was, and after (peaking with a Dana
" (hip, and making Cenral fignals, returned to her
" own fleet which hauled its wind, and was not in
" fight the pest morning."
On this fubjesti we have have alto received the fol-
lowing letter this morning :
PLYMOUTH, AUG. 27.—Came in the DISPATCH,
of i 8 guns, from the Channel Fleet: file brings an
account of the capture of the French frigate Didon, of
4f guns, and 300 men, by the Norms, of 36 guns,
Capt. Baste. The Didon had 123 men killed and
wounded, and the PHOIVIX 53 killed, and as wound-
ed, among the former, the two Lieutenants ; the Di-
don being very much difabled, it is conjedlured that
Ilse may have been taken to Litbon to refit, previous
to her being brought to this country."
The Nowt: is but a (mall frigate, of 36 guns,
and the Didon one of the final the French had in
their fervice.—Great praife is due to Capt. Basis,
and the Officers and Crew of the PROMS, for the
fpirited and gallant manner in which they began and
continued the anion, and finally captured a vetret
fuperior in weight of metal and in number of men.

ing paired the Streights. After her return the was
difpatched from Ferrol, op the day the Combined
Fleets arrived there, in fearch of intelligence refpettl•
ing the movements of our fleets.
The (hips teen by the Deepen., on the 14th, are
believed to have been the Combined Fleets ; and it
is reported in the City that they returned into Ferrol
on the ,6th, off which port Sir 4. CALMi arrived
on the aoth, and continued there on the sad, at which
time they had not made any new attempt to put to
(ea. The place where the Combined Fleet was teen
by the Deanna does not contradict the rumour of its
having got into port two days after ; but nothing is
certainly known refpeaing it.

PARIS, rousaorairr. and CILIAIt. were fo sear the
rear of the retreating fleet, that they had nearly cat
off the Admiral commanding that divifion ; they
raked his tkip feveral times. and did her mock da-
mage ; the Cisaa had three men killed, and (even
wounded.

The Tatumla Cartel, }ham Hamar Milner,
which failed from Portfmouth a fisort time fince
with Spanifh prifoners, landed them at Corunna,

peror of Gsammtv having refolved to enter into a
war with France, He alto repeats the report of a
number of French troops which had been embarked

marched to reinforce the army of Hanover. We have
no doubt of both of the eaten eats being perfeetly
correa.
