We Rated on Friday the reinrn of Admiral Rus-
sia. to Yarmouth, with the fleet under his command,
ficon his Ration off the Testi. As loop as Govern-
ment heard of this Circumftance, orders were dif-
patched for him to refume his Ration immediately.
The Admiral, in obedience to this order, proceeded
again to the Dutch Coati, but fcund, according
to report, that th: Mile) fleet bad embraced the (4)-
1
portuniey afforded them by bit abfencs, and pat toil full of
troop. What their particular deßination may be, is
not at prelent known ; but the above intelligence is
generally believed to be coned.
The cutter belonging to the BOLD gun-beg, Cape,
Cntveas, has cut out from under the batteries of
Calais a Fiench chap mark, laden with 650 Packs of
wheat. The cutter was under the direction of Lieut.

HOUGHTON. The cbaji inarig has arrived in the
Downs.

By the Gottenburgh mail which,arrived this morn-
ing, French papers to the tith, and Dutch to the
uth have been received :
Under the Paris intelligence of the loth, the ;Ilion
of the 22d ult. is mentioned, and the capture of the
twp Spani‘h (hips is admitted, although the ultimata
advantage of the engagement is Paid to have refted
on the fide of the enemy. The next advice, front
France will, molt probably, bring the (Adel details
of the battle.
A letter in the Manitevr contains, in the fhape of
intelligence from Ragufa, an article the real objea of
which feems to be, to excite the jealoufy of Auflda
again& the Ruffians...-farther extrals will be found
in the preceding columns.

In our Ship News will be found a letter from on
board the REPULSE, containing Tome account of the
late battle with the combined fleet. The report of
the finking of the Neptune is certainly unfounded.
This letter agrees with the letter from Vigo, in our
Paper of yetlerday, as to dm enemy having recaptu-
ed a galleon. It is believed they have brought from
South America a vati deal of treafure.

An American Gentleman who left Amaerdam on
Friday, the gth init. fpccks in moll conSdent terms
that the invation of this country will be attempted,
and notices the immenfe preparations of the etre-
.
my. fle (tares, that the veffels intended to convey
troops from the Texel are of the largeft Sze, Tome
of not efs than doo to tom tons bus then, and capa-
ble of tranfporting from 400 to Soo troops in each ;
(hat he faw not leis than twenty of titefe veffels drop
down to the Texel,with froops on boaird, two thirds of
which French, the remainder were Dutch ; and that
a great part of the French were horfe and artillery.
The blockade of Cnracoa continued on the ill of
the La month ; the Buliah Maria, and two other
American veffels, loaded with provilions, have been
captured by la Franchife, and two Spaniards by la
Fortunee, for attempting to make that Wand. Thefe
veifels have made feveral other prizes.

The long-threatened Invafiort, we are now inform-
ed by the London Papers, will take place immedi-
ately. In this part of the united kingdom, the mea-
lures neceffary to be taken in moments of peril have not
been neglefted. The Commander of the Forces has
the troops under his directions in a flare of adive dif-
cipline, which will prove of vsift utility fhould any
part of the enemy's flotilla reach our fhores, a cir-
cumttance which we have no reafon to dread.
The following Original Lines have been polled up

The late rains have been fucceeded by very warm
dry and feafonable weather ; affording the greateft
profped of plenty through every part of the country,
The reaping of barley and oats commenced on
Tuefday in the county of Wicklow. The crops appear
abundant, and not at all injured by the late rains.
It feems, the intended new bridge, in lieu of Or-
mond bridge, is robe thrown acrofs the Liffey, oppo-
fire Mafs lane, a little to the call of the Four Courts..
By this plan. there will be a line of areets from High.:

On Monday laG, a lad named Bacon, of a refpec,
table family and connedions, went into the river at
the Wiers, near Wand Bridge, for the purpofe of
bathing, but was drowned in a fhort time, notwith- '
[landing the humane efforts of a bye Hander to fave
him. His body was found on Tuefday morning.

Yenerday morning, at eleven o'clock, in eonfe-
quence of the arrival of Lord Nit-sou, at Portfmouth,
Mr. Eirrwocto,,the.Admkratty Mcirenger, :was fent
off with difpatches by the-Lords of the Admiralty to
Mr. PITT, at his houfe at. Wimbledon.
The report of Admiral Nat.tos having arrived in
town is erroneous. We chi not learn that his Lord-
(hip has yet left Portlmouth ; and we have fome lea-
fon to believe that he still proceed to the North of
Ireland to join Admiral DRURY.
On his Lordfhip's arrival at Portfmouth, the Vic-
TORY, having communicated with the garrifon of
Gibraltar, became,' of courfe, fubjelt to the quaran-
I tine regulations, and his Lord hip, as one of the crew,
'was confequently prohibited from immediately com-
ing on fhore. , As Coon as the (hip brought up, and
he had communicated by fignal with the Port •Admi-
ral, he addreired the following letter,to the Collet:tor
of the Culloms at Portfmouth :
' Victory, Spithad, Auguft 18, igos.
" The Vidory, with the fleet under my command, kit Meal-
tar twepty-feven days ago, at which time there was not a fever in
the garrifon ; nor, as Dodor Fellows told me, any apprehvoison,of
one. The fleet late under my command I left with Admiral Coen-
Warn, on the 15th of Auguß, at which time they were in the
molt perfed health ; neithei the Vidlcni por the Superb have on
board even au object fur the Hofpital ; to the truth of which I

Pledge toy Weed of honour. (Signed)
NELSON AND 11RONTB."
" To the Colledor or the Cotton's, or that it may concern."
As foon as Lord NE tsom's flag was defcried at Spit-
head, the ramparts, and every place which- could
commat►d a view of the entrance of the harbonr, 'were
crowded with fpetlators. As he approached the (bore,
he was falitted w;th loud and reiterated hnzzas, as
enthuf►aflic and sincere as if he had'returned crowned
with a third great naval viBory.
His Lorelfhip came into Spithead with only his flag
(hip, and the SUMS, Captain Ksava. The remain-
ger of his fqoadron„ amounting to nine fail of the
l►ne, he delivered over, as is above Rated, to Admi-
ral Cottewsw. s, on Thurfday laft
Admiral STIRLING, in the Ginty, accompanied
by the \Wauu►or., has arrived at Plynflouth. A liltht
fquadton of obfervation is left cruising off Cape Or,
tegal, to watch the motions of the enemy, and the
whole remaining force of Admirals Cueawaiste,
CALDER, and NkLSON is concentrated •Off Brett, altol
gether forming a fleet of about forty fail of the line.
A contra& has been entered into by our Govern-
ment and that of Ruflia for building at Peter(burgh
and other Ruffian arfenals, twelve fail of the line and
frigates, for the fervice of this country—they are to
be begun immediately, under the infpeition of Gene-
ral Basyrnass, who has received orders to proceed
without dela,r to Rufus with feveral officers from
different dock yards.
Captain LIARDF.T of the Royal Marines, is engag-

Saturday we received a letter from Antigua, dated
the zoth June, by which we learn, that when the
Combined fleet appeared off St. John's, the headrnon
frigate tacked and Rood for the Road ; but feting
that there were not any veffels there, the made a fig-
nal, when the fleet purfoed their cottrfe under a prets
of fail. Our convoy would probably have experi•
enced the fame fate, had it reakaiitad is port, which
