Difpatches were this morning received at the Ad-
miralty from Admiral Cocutaws, in the Weft-
Indies. They were brought by Captain MORRIS, of
the PENGUIN brig, who arrived at the Admiralty in a
port chaife and four. The contents have not tranfpired.
Difpatches were alfo received this morning from
Admiral Lord NELsos.—We underftand the follow-
ing to be the fubftance of there difpatches :—That his
Lordfhip, with his fleet, arrived fate at Gibraltar
Bay on the 39th July, having made all the fail he
could in hope of overtaking the Combined Fleet ;
which, (as we already know) he had not fallen in
with ; that being Ihort of tome necefaries, he was ob-
liged to flop there for refrefhments; and that on the
26th of July his Lordthip was proceeding in (catch
of the Combined Fleets, not having then heard any
thing of them.
From thefe difpatches it appears, that Lord NFL*
sou had indeed been very expeditious in his purfuit
of the enemy from the Weft Indies. He had con-
fiderably outfailed them, for it was on the 22d of
July that Admiral Sir RODRIT CALDER fell in
with the Combined Fleets, and on the 39th Lord
NeLsos had reached the Bay of Gibraltar, which is
about fix degrees to the eaftward of the longitude in
which Admiral CaLosa fell in with the, enemy. Had
the enemy not taken fuch a Northerly latitude, it is
plain his Lordfhip would have fallen in with them
tome days before their engagement with Admiral
CALDER.

Lord Nzzsom fent notice of his arrival to Admi-
ral Cot.cracwoon then fuppofed to be off Cadiz. His
Lordfhip (betides what refrefhments he got at Gi•
braltar) took in visuals and water at Tetuan on the
African coaff, and, on the 26th, when he failed he
purfued a Northern courfe. His Difpatches are dated
the 26th.

Should the enemy have proceeded to the. Sout-
hward, there can be little doubt now of their Icing
fallen in with either by his Lordfhip or Admiral COI,
LAW:SWOON or perhaps the two joined.
RelpeaingtheAntigna convoy,captured by thecom-
bined fleet when in the Well Indies, we find the fol-
lowing particulars in the &slam Mercury of the
2gth June, received by a vellel arrived at Liverpool:
"His Majefty's (hips GALATEA, Captain MAXWELL;
BEAULIEU, Captain ERIN ; and Krworismsa, Cap
tain Cares, arrived here this day. By there we learn
that on the 27th inft. the KINGFISHER and Omuta,
fell in with five French frigates, having charge of the
Antigua convoy, which had been taken by the Com.
bined Fleet, then about 180 miles to the N. E. of
Berbuda. The enemy, upon feeing our hoops of
war, inftantly fet fire to the whole captured vefrels,
and gave chace to the KING►ISHER, which induced
Captain Calais to make fignals, and fire feveral guns,
as if to Tome of our !hips a-head—this had the cle-
ared effea, and the enemy dreading the approach
of our fleet, hauled off with great precipitancy to-
wards the burning veffels, among which, a khooner,
apparently an American, was very aaive in remov-
ing the people, and encouraging the flames; the
KINGFISHER and OSPREY proceeded to Antigua with
this account, when Captain FAHIL, of the AMELIA,
with the gaLATRA, Bk•ut.lEU, and KINGFISHER,
proceeded in gnat of the enemy, but unfortunately
without meeting them, or we may well judge what
would have been the refult."

A Mail from Lifbon ((tippled to be bmnght by
the DIANA packet) is arrived at Falmouth. She
failed on the 3oth ult.; the letters remain at Falmouth
to be fumigated, and will be in London to-morrow.

We have received French Journals to the 31R ult.
and Dutch to the 3d inllant. The contents of the

Rated yefterday, but not being In late are lefs parti-
cular. In the preceding column we have given
fuck qtrafts as the French Journals afford. The
following are from the Dutch papers :

French troops arrived here from Breda, and after a

LEYDEN, At/G. I.—There is no accurate intelli-
gence relative to the French flotillas, in their ports
and along the coat, except that the preparations
continue in the ports with the greateft activity. This
is alto the cafe in Holland. Since the 27th of July,
ten or eleven regiments, both French and Batavian
infantry and cavalry. have pallid Haerlem, betides
an aflonitliing quantity of artillery and ammunition,
which it going to the Helder without intermiffion.—
At the latter place the troops are daily exercifed.—
Many troops are alto patting through Amfterdam
for the Helder; the embarkation proceeds with great
activity, and the (hips muff take provilions for fix
months, according to Come accounts. Among the
French officers of rank who will affift in the expedi-li

dant of Rotterdam. We are alto informed that the

No farther accounts have been received from the
Dutch coaft fince chore we communicated yefterday,
to which we have only to add, that the force embark.
ing at Hclvoet is limed to be 6000 men. Govern.
ment, however. have for fume time been expelling
fuch movements as have taken place within thefe
few days, and have made the neceffary difpofitions
to fruflrate the views of the enemy. The Downs
fquadron has been reinforced by the Rosy, POI!Y
rorastus, and Paractss or Ottawas. Grips of the line.
The accounts refpetting the Rochefort Squadron
are in force degree difordant. Our Plymouth letter,

day week, the 24th ult. ; while a letter from the
Channel Fleet, if the ad loft. reports, that " the
whole of the Rochefort Sqvadron are not out."—
Three of them, :t is added, are not to be teen in
Rochefort ; and it is therefor; far from certain,
wßether they are at fea, or retired into the inner
harbour.
