On Saturday, jun after we had put our Paper to
prefs, accounts were received by Government from
the Well Indies, brought by Lieutenant ALT, an•
nouncing the arrival of Admiral COCHRAvE at Bar-
badoes on the sth of April, who intended to proceed
the fame evening in qua of the enemy's rquadron
which had previoufly left Martinique, to which they
had returned after their cruize.

i.othing however is known with certainty refpeet-
ing the :iourfe which the enemy have taken ; but a:
have feen letters of :he sth of April from Barbadoes
which tlate iheir fqtradron has gone for Tobago.
We may pori,l,;y yet hear of more predatory mif-
chief being effe&ed ..;y this force before Admiral
COCHRANE falls in with them ; but their career in that
quarter may be confidered as nearly run, and we
fuon hope to hear of complete Needs attending our
arms in the Wellern hemifplicre,
In our Port letters will be found come details con-
ndled with the news received from tit: Weft Indies,
as alfo refpeaing the Fleet under Admiral Lord
GARDNER. The following is a private letter:

" BARRADOES, APRIL 3.

" Six fail of the line and a frigate arrived here a
few days ago, and all failed again on the sth. We
have received tome news this morning, of the French
having gone, as we fuppofe, to fea in a hurry ;
what the difpatch is we are ignorant of, but report
Pays, they were fern two days ago fleeting North-
ward. The convoy that failed from hence for Ja-
maica, was becalmed between St. Vincent and St.
Luck, on the 22d March, and the French fquadron
from Martinico were cif St. Vincent's the 26th of
March, and (leering to leeward."
A letter from Portfmouth, dated the 19th inßant,
Rates, that the French fquadron had been very fuc-
cefsful in taking our merchantmen, particularly a
number of Jamaica chips, with which they intended
to return to France.

from the accounts received on Saturday, many
were 'td to cipeEt that before this time accounts

',mid have been received of an anion with th:
fleet. It does not appear, however, that the enemy
were difpofed to rifle an engagement, notwithitand-
ing their fuperiority in point of number.—Gov et n•
molt received difpatches yetterday, from whicc
it appearF, that the WARP.IOIt, of 74 guns, belonging
to the in-chore Ration, had given a fignal that the
enemy were in motion. Lord GARDN ER immediAtcly
prepared for action : five of the enemy's (hips came
out as far as Point St. Matthews, and then returned
to their moo; logs. It is now thought that the enemy
aimed only at a mere change of pofition, but Le :Lis
as it may, when the lall accounts lett the fleet t!..ty
were again in their old Ration.
No farther accounts have been recti7ed refpeet-
ing the Combined Fleets, and opinio— are much
divided on the Tract), whether they had aclitally
ret,:rned to Cadiz on the azd ult. as has been (late.:.
Some letters from Cadiz of the 23d do not mention
the ci:cumaance. IVe underhand, liovrev..r, that
a letter him Cadiz, of the 22:1 ultirn-i, r'nfitiveiy
Rates that the Combined Fleets were there. A IQ:-
ter from Amherdam of the 4ih in t. menti,:ns a
port that the Combined Fleets had been obliged to
put into Lifbon. This we know to b: a mihake,
but it proves the exillence of a report, at leaft, if not
of information, being received of their having put
back.

lslevetthelefs we cannot help thinking it extremely
probable that the/ would fredily put to fea again.
Lord NELSON would be at Gibraltar by the beginning
of May. The ACTIVE, the veal that brought his
difpatelies, was off Carthagena on the zBth, and as
his Lordfliip's fleet was in excellent order, it is pro-
bable he was not much behind. If the Combined
Fleets have not failed again, they arc likely to be
blockzdel in Cadiz.

It is flared in letters from Madrid, that the objte
of the Combined Fleets was, in the firft inllance, to
raife the blockade of Ferrol, and make a jonetion
with the naval fatce there. There appears, however,
to have been no attempt to execute that plan, which
might very early have been accomplifhed.

By our letters firm Dover we learn, that the Lady
of JEROME BON•PA RTE iS now there. Stveral reports
have, in confequence, been circulated on the coax;
one of them that Rates the murder of Jraost a can
hardly be corm% for we have been informed by let,
tets from Spain, that he strived at Madrid on the
17th ultimo, whence he was to proceed for Paris on
the 19111.

One Hamhurgh and two Gottenburgh Mails have
arrived fince our latt, but they bring little betides the
details of the junftion of the Tot:lou and Cads/ fleets,
with which we are already acquainted. A letter from
Madrid of the 16th Pays, the Combined Flpets were
to be joined by fix fh;ps of the L.. from Cat thagena.
A letter from Petetlurgh of the xoth lays, that
M. NOVOZITZOFF was not to proceed on Li, i,u-njed
milTion, in confequence of the receipt of uotatisfac-
wry difpatches from It tAilCe. \le are inclined to
think that this account is not in entre& as thife that
flute. that M. hinvortrzork would proceed to lay
Tome pacific propofttions before BONAPARTF.

BrNAPARTE i, llatcd to have communicated to
the Court of Berlin the terms on which he is willing
to form the bails GI negociation. They conftit of
four articles—
t It. The full recognition ui his titles Gf Eniperer of the French
and King of Itely.

ad. The folenin guarantee of Great Britain ..rid RAF' to main-
tain Unit-elf and hi. lanily in the. hcredit.:ry piargion of his digni-
ties and dominions.
3d. The unec.,-;ivo;a1 refignation, on the part of the Princes of
the Houle of Bintibcn, of all ri,,,hts and claims to the fovereignty
of France.—And

4th. He engages in return to wave Malta in the potrefLon of
England—and to cede to the Emperor Alexande: and his heirs the
fovercignty of the Republic of the Seven litan,l3.
It may be true that fuch propofitions as the above
have been made through the Court of Berlin, but
from the complexion of the ditiomatic correfpondence
between the C. arts of St. Peterfburgh and St. Cloud,
it is not at all probable that they can be for a moment
liftened to. Having through an authenti: channel
obtained a copy of the correfpondence from the Seth
of May to the iSth of Augart, 1804, we &all lay it
before our Readers tomorrow.—it is exceedingly
curious, and will be fcund highly interefling at the
prefent crifis.
One letter Rates that his SWEDISH MAJESTY
has returned to the King of PRUSSIA the Order of
the Black Eagle, with which he had been inverted,
alledg:ng as a motive his chagrin at the circumilance
of the ruffian Monarch having accepted the new
Orders of BONAPARTE, whie the conduit of the
French Government bore fuch an equivocal app*tr•
ance towards Sweden. The retto ned decorations
were oczompanied by a very fpirited letter, comment'.
ing on the paflive manner in vk hich his Ma?,tity cant:•
nuts to view the innovations of France. •

A letter fr:.:n Lisbon, dated the 3d init. the day
previous to the failing of the Prince of Wales, gives
reafon to think that the expedition under Sir JAMES
CRAIG is intended kr the del,:nce of Portugal. It is
faid that the army which has been for fome time col-
leting in the South of France, hat. begun its march
for Spain ; and it w..s feared that Portugal would be•
immediately invaded by a combined French and Spa-
nn force.

" Lissom, APRIL 25.—1 n confzquence of The ur-

E
