The assette of Saturday evening, est:sits from
which will be found in our laft page, contains the
official account of the intrepid and WM manner
in which Admiral LlllOlll9 in (fit Marengo, of 86
guns, was defeated by his Majefty's 'hip CIITIMIOII.
It will be read with admiration and delight, and
mull, is Admiral RAllltea obferves, " rank with the
molt famous aftions of the defenfive kind recorded
in the glorious annals of the Britillt Navy."

The Gawk alfo contains the account of Lieut. Col.
Moscow's defeat by HOLKAIL'S army, which has al-
ready been communicated to the public.

In the preceding columns our readers will find ex-
tra& from the French journals up to the 9th iitaant.
They are not hiwever of much importance.

The !hip Rambler, Captain SMITIIt from Smyrna
with fruit, ate. which was one of the /at under con-
voy of the Meow Hoop and Ammon bomb Trete!,
arrived on Friday at Falmouth, after a pafage

of nineteen diva from Gibraltar. It was on the 4th
ult. the convoy fell in with the two French frigates;
but there is reafon to think that the number of cop-
ilot= is not fo great as was at Ilrfl reported—(See
our Falmouth letter.)
By the FL: cutter. which arrived at Yarmouth on

Friday UR from the Mel, which place am left on
Thurfday, the Dutch Beet had Shade its firamove-
ment, two line of battle hips belonging to it having
comi'down into the outer roads, This sircomllanae,
no doubt, gave rife to the veport brought by the
American (hip which put into Dow, that the Dutch
fquadron bad'aatrally put to fed:

Advice' were yellerday receiyed from Portfmouth
of the arrival there on Raturdayebta of the EsteRALD
frigate and Itamaaoott fehoonsr, from Lilbon and
Newfoundland. It is now underaood that Portugal
has purchafed her neutrality of France. Report aye,
that fist is to pay a yearly fubady of 6,000,000 of
erufades. A. letter frcm a Gentleman of rank at

Lillian rays Yon need not be under any sppre•
hen Gone, at prefent, of being involved in a war with
this country : fo far from A rupture being likely to
take place, =Ares quite the reverfe are about to
be adopted."

Advices were on Saturday received from Bombay,
amply corroborative of the intelligence which we pub-
tithed on Tharfday laR, of the defeat and difperfion
of the army of HOLICAR. The letters containing
this pleating fad, are dated Bombay, November to.
They Rate that difpatchss bad been received from
Colonel MURRAY, of the 3d, and from General
Lord Lane, of the middle of °Sober, giving an ac-
count of the Bridal army having come up with, de-
feated, and di/petted the forces of Hosea' ; and that
the Commander in Chief was following up the im-
portant advantage he had obtained, in confident es-
peitotiont from the arrangements which had been
made, of fpeedily reducing the enemy to complete
tubmitßon.

The new report circulated on Saturday of the Brett
fleet being out retied on the authority of a Captain
NUMMI of the American blip Rebecca, arrived in the
Downs from Leghorn. He Rates, that on the 6th
infant, eff Cape St. Vincent, be paged a convoy of
about twenty fail, moßly tranfports, with troops on
board, which appeared to be under the proteilion of, ,
frigate ; that two or three (hips of war were at a con-
fiderable diftanee, making lignals ; that on the
in lat. 44. long. 9. be (poke the Haao man of warp
in company with five others of the line, who reported
that the Breit fleet was out ; that the Mailer's Mate
of the Hsao pofitively Rated that he had teen them
come out ; and that the fame day he was boarded by
a frigate, who eked him if he had fees the French
fleet. The failing of the Breit fleet is an event by
no means improbable ; but we have fully afcertained
that no confirmation of the report has been received
at the Admiralty. The veffels which the American
(late, to have"fees off Cape St. Vincent fo far back as
the 6th infant, we knew could not have been any part
of the Breit fleet, nor has any corroborative advice
been received of the enemy having put to yea fo late as
the tub, the day on which he fags the HIM) inform.
ed him of the failing of the enemy. Some foppofe,
that the (hips alluded to might have been the Ferrol
fquadron : but we do not believe that a tingle chip
has been able to elude the vigilance of our cruisers
off that port, and the probability is, that the fleet
refpetling which the Americzn was interrogited by
the Hilt), was that which has effeeed its efcape
from Richefort, which no certain advice has yet
been received. Some letters from the Hague fay
that it is defined for the Brazils, while others Rate
that Ceylon is the °Nee of the expedition.

A letter from Calcutta, 'of the Bth of September,
contains the following interefting intelligence :
". The American btig Wallington arrived on the
sth. She left Moccason the Weft coaft of Sumatra,
on the Bth Auguft. This fettlemenf bad been cap-
toted by the BOMBAY frigate, Commodore Haiti, '
and the armed flip Lady Caftlereagh. About zoo
of the natives were Wed, and a few of the Englifh.
The town was completely burned. All their guns, a
large iron theft of dollars, and Tome other property,
were carried off by the natives.
44 it is with vest concern we have to fate, that
letters were yefterday reeeived from Backergunge,
dated the 2d of Auguft, which mention the lofs of
the fhip Candidate, Captain FILL, on the 28th July
Taft. Captain and Mrs. FILL., Mr. BALL, Second
Officer. Dr. A111)11110; of his Majefty'S 7sth regi.

Mates of the Candidate, and ten'Lafcars, were pro.
videntially fared in the jolly boat. The long boat
was in the sit of being hoifted out for the prefervation
of the remainder of the unfortunate people, when
the (hip is reported to have gone down head-fore-
moil. and involved them in deatuftion."
We have been favoured with the Ceylon Gazettes
to a late date...ll3e fhip Echo failed from Trinco-
malee the beginning of September, and was totally,
loft near Chilaw. Lieutenant Young, of his Makfty's
Malay regiment, and the firft officer of the (hip; were
unfortunately drowned. His Majefty's (hip rpz,
having Lord Vi LISTS on board, was expeded to
' fail from Mocha foe Bombay about the latter end of
Auguft.
