A Telegraphic difpatch has announced the arrival
of the Horaeward•bound Eaft India fleet off the ICe
of Wight.
The AUCKLAND and WALSINGHAM packets, with
mail• from Lifbon, are arrived at Falmouth the
former failed on the Lath ; the latter on the r.l.th of
July; the mails remain at Falmouth to be fumigated,
but will be in town to-morrow. The Patrrca or
WaLu packet, with a mail from Falmouth, arrived
at Lifhon on the sift of June.
Since the arrival of the Lifbon Mail, a report,
fimilar to that which was yellerday pretended to
have been received from Jamaica, has been put in
circulation. Indeed, we expel frefh rumour.; every
moment, till real accounts be received from Lord
NkLSON.

In the preceding columns we have given extra&
from the Jamaica papers, brought by the STAUNCH.
It appears that little more had been heard C.:ere than
the arrival of the combined fleet at Martiniqne,
and tome of our newfmongers converted this into an
account of their return thither a fecond time. The
force of the enemy was greatly exaggerated at Jamai-
ca. A report had reached that ifland from Bar badoes,
that the enemy teemed to meditate an attack on Ja-
maica, and that they were thirty-one fail of the line.
In confequence of this intelligence the molt vigorous
meafures of defence were continued : all the militia
were ordered to their corps, and all labour was in-
terrupted.—lt is probable that they would Coon be
apprifed of the French Fleet having gone to the
Northward.

When the STAUNCH left Jamaica there were up-
wards of 200 vefTels bound fur this country, taking
in cargoes. The convoy had been fixed to fail on
the 13th, but was put off till the ayth of June, in
confequence of no certain acconnta being received of
the eners,y's movements.

The PatxcVSS Avoust• packet, Captain Tenn}.-
50H, failed on Monday the tflth tilt. from Jamaica,
with a mail for England. The Goelar brig failed
at the fame time. and will accompany her to a cettain
latitude. The Arabella outward bound, arrived at Ja-
maica on the 16th, on which day a packet, with the
fignal of the Prince Adolphus. arrived at Port Royal.
The Governor of Jamaica hats acted a Proclamation
for permitting Ameticans, and all neutral rails, to
bring in prnvifiont. norm. and lumber, on the ufoal
terms, for fix months.

Admiral Dace s, with eight fail of the line, was
cruizing near the Ifland of Cuba, and if the Spanith
detachment of the Combined Fleets wu bound for
the Havannah, our Squadron would, in all probabi-
lity, fall in with them. It is fuppofed they may have
gone to South America to take on board treafure
for Europe.
From the time that has elapfed fince the Cob :aux
paired the Combined Fleets on her voyage home, and
the direction of the wind far there fome days pall,
news of Lrrd NALION and the Combined fleets may
now be how ly expetled. We have noticed above that
the Lifbon mails are reported to have brought intel-
ligence timilar to that circulated year day. We are
inclined, however, to difbelieve it. But we Should not
be at allfurprifed &odd this new rumour obtain credit
and currency, from thole who could publifh fuch a
notice at the following, which appeared tali night
in the General Shipping and Commercial Lifl, printed
under the authority of the General Poft Office :
The STAUNCH, arrived at Portfmouth, brings
intelligence, that the Combined Fleets are at Marti-
nique, and that Lord l'inson's fleet are blockading
them ; that the enemy are in a molt fickly condition,
no lefs than from one hundred to four hundred dying
daily. Lord hTzt.son's fleet are in perfect health."
This morning we received a letter from Penzance,
containing information, which may pofllbly turn
out to have Come relation to the Combined Fleet.—
We are lorry we can throw no new light on the fub-
jett, having received no other account to compare
with the following:
" PENZANCE, JULY 23.
" You may loon expeft to receive important intel-
ligence, but I am not able to Rate what.
"The people belonging to a Boat which arrived
yeflerday at a fifhing town near this, from Scilly,
Rate, that they fpoke a flip of war (fize not men-
tioned) off the Land's End, which was under a heavy
prefs of fail ; the Officers on board declared to the
men, that they had great and good reetOl for Great
Bra-
tai., but he would not Rate the partieulats.".

Since writing the above, we have learnt tl„•
vernment have this day received acc,,ur.ts (.f L,.•
Nelson's Fleet. In confequence, the 6,llo•Ainz
tice was fent to Lloyd's CofFee•houfe
4, •DMIRALTY, JULY 26.

a His Majeny's fhip DECAL:4 arrived in the Tao
61 on the loth init. with letters from Lord Nasns.
a dated at Sea, the isth June. His Lord!hip, ICI!!
64 the fquadron under his command, including tie
64 Startlers (the (hip he was Paid to have fent back
11
to BArtadOeS), was cn the t9th in lat. 27. N. lOrg,
" 60. W.

‘i The enemy's fleet had unfortunately fallen :&
with and captured feveral 'hips of a convoy from
" Antigua, the day after failing (the 7th of Jure,
,1 of which Lord Nktsow was apprized. Tl•c r.:.•-
" bet (tippled to be captured was 13 or Ls f,

" der convoy of his hinjeay's flips NITLIT and Lae
" iIiDnES."

Ott the above we need only remark that the r9d:
of lire, the day on which Lord NELSON'S fleet wa:
in Lat. 27. N. Long. 60. W. was the very day o,
which the CURIEUX Wed the Combined Fleets
Lat. 33. N. Long. g 9. W. Therefore his Lordlip
at that time was five degrees South of the enemy's
fleet, and only two degrees to the wefiward of them
—s dillance in a dire et line of above too leagues.
From this it appears that his Ler&hip had gained
fo confiderably on the enemy, that the only danger
of his not falling in with them arifes from his not
knowing their cootie, and being fo much to the
fouthward.

Difpatches were this day received frcm Lard
Karns, dated the ssth inflant, flaring, that a few
days hero./ his Majefiy's fnip CliAblrron had fallen in
with a divifion of the enemy's gun boats, &c. paffing
from Fecamp. which the had attacked. Five of the
enemy's •effcls were driven on fhore, and others con.
fiderably damaged. We have not heard that the
Cwamrion (Whined any 1011.

Difpntches. dated the tsth infant, have been re•
ceived from Admiral COLLINCWOOD; they are totally
Meat refpeaini the Combined fleet. The fquadron
under his command had taken their nation from Ca•
diz to th.: S.reights of Gibraltar.
