AUGUST 2.

It now appears certain, from every account from
Algefiras, that the attack of the gunboats on the
morning of the a7th ult. was conduted by the Spa-
nith Admiral Pon Baum° na Eats* in perfon, in
full hopes of being able to burn Sir R,CNARD Theo-
orroti's fquadron, by means of red hot (hot t but in
loading with red hot (hot the fecond time, an officer
and two men were blown to pieces on board of the
gun-boats, which (truck fuch a panic into theft whole
line, that no perfuafions of their officers could induce
them to try any further loading with hot ant, which
was the cattle of their precipitate retreat. The fame
accounts add, that fince their return to Algefiras,
four men more have loft their lives in pradifing the
firing with rod hot (hot, which has In damped the
fpitits of the crews of the gun boain that it is very
doubtful whether they will ever attempt that mode
of attack again.
Sir F.ICH•111 DicesaTosi failed this morning with
his foipadron, in purfuit of the Carthagena fleet.
We had a very brilliant and crowded horfe race

The King has been pleafed to appoint Sir SAMUEL
Hcoo, Knight of the Bath, to be Colonel of the Wool-
wich divifion of his Majetly's Royal Marineforces.
It appears, by intelligence received from South
America, that the Spaniards fitted but a 5o gun•lhip
and two brigs, in the River Plate, to cruize againti
thi' Britith Ofheiy round Pape Horn ; they Wiled
early in April. The 5o gun Ihip was loon afterwards
1011, withlthe whole of her crew, nearly 600 people,
in confequenee of which the brigs returned, and were
shortly after laid tip.
