Admiral YouNo, with his usual alacrity, on learn.
itg that the Brest Fleet was out, immediately ordered
the eqciprnent of every vessel of war at Plymouth fit
for sea; and an Admiralty Messenger is hourly ex-
tl-cre with orders for their sailing. The Tele-
2.urb l.'s lrcn actively working, with little inter-
Friday noon. The following is a list
of :he respective vessels lying in Plymouth ; those
frith an aqerisk * are repairing, but may be ready for
sr. by the elid of the ensuing week :
Ir. C: ecznd 'fonnant,'Gihraltar,•R
Triburo, Cossack, Comet, Minstrel, Alert, Virago, and
'lmplacable. In the Sound—the Diana, Jamaica, Pallas, Thetis'
Misers, l_cdiator, Dolphin, Foxhound, and Fervent. In Barn-
taol—:::e Unicorn. Between the Island and the Main—the Ra-
m Raipole, Tigress, Martial, and Pilchard. In Stonehouse
Pal—the Pheasant, Swallow, Gluckstadt, Goldfinch, Growler,
Clencir, Conflict, Weazle schooner, Joseph and Betsey cutters.
The Black Joke lugger, Lieutenant CANNA.
VEY ; Parthian, Captain PASCOE ; and Weazle schoon-
er, in quest of the Channel fleet, have sailed from
Plymouth, to warn all the vessels they meet with of
the Brest squadron being at sea.
The DOLPHIN, 44, which arrived on Thursday, and
embarked 200 marines for the West Indies, has not
yet sailed, in consequence of the French fleet being at
sea. Several other vessels are also detained on the
same account.

Several small vessels arrived in the River yesterday
from the French and Dutch coasts, having eluded the
vigilance of the Custom-house Officers on the opposite
iliores. The Papers brought by these vessels contain
to news, but private accounts state, that Marshal
LANNES bad been peremptorily ordered by NAPOt.EON
to quit Spain, with his troops, in order to assist in the
resii.acd attack upon Austria. We do not attach
credit to this report.

A vessel called the Buena Fee, is arrived at Pen-
ZI:C2 from Bilboa, from whence she sailed on the
10th February. She cleared for a French pert, and
Pt into Penzance in a leaky and damaged state. She
.as on board 120 bags- of Spanish wool ; she brings
no intelligence from Spain. BilbOa was in posses-
sion of the French ; and the people of the place had,
for some time previous to the sailing of the Buona
Fee, been deluded into a supposition that Cadiz was
also in the Lands of the enemy, together with the fleet.
The ACTIVE frigate sailed from Gibraltar on the
instant ; at which time, there were between eighty
::ad ninety vessels to sail under her convoy for Eng-
land ; but it is said that the greater part of them did
not get out.—Should the French fleet take that direc-
ton, this may prove a fortunate circumstance..
We learn from Gibraltar, that the heretofore im-
Prepable fortresses, St. Philip and Barbara, have not
only been completely dismantled, but that trains of
gunpowder have been so effectually insinuated into
the body of the fortresses, as to render their entire
""ruction the work only of a moment from Gibral•
