At Warminlier Market, on Saturday, there was
a very full fupply of Wheat, am: a declenfion in
price of zos. per quarter. • A Gentleman who was
at the market, counted upwards of i so loads, not
one-fourth of which was fold.

Yefierday, the Principals of the Bakers' Corn.
party waited on the LORD MAYOR at the Manfion
Houk, to fet the Mize of Bread, when it appear.
ed by the Mealweighers' Reports, that 1:459
quarters,and four buillels of Wheat, fold from Bos.
to 168 s. per quarter, and 6,241 lacks of Flour fold
from 78s. 6d. to 13os. per rack at the Corn Ex.
change ; and the average being calculated, it ap-
peared,, that Wheat bad advanced Sc. ad. per
quarter, and, Flour being only Bfd. cheaper than
the hilt Reports, hic Lordlhip was under the tie-
caty of continuing the Price of Bread the fame di
before, viz. ts. Bd. the Qtlartern Loaf.

merous alremblage of Nobility and Gentry. Mr.

muss, compiled by his father, Lord Borrom.
Mars. RIPLEY, SHEPHARD, and ROUTH, molt
creditably diftinguillied themfelves. But the Cap.
tain of the School, Mr. KNAPP, difcovered powers
of elocution mat uncommon, joined to the ability
of producing effeet very rarely found in a young
Etonian.

The performance was highly honourable to mod
of the fpeakers. The Captain, Mr. Ks AP E, gave
Caraaatus with great force as well as pathos; it,
perhaps, was as finithed a performance as the an-
nals of Eton can boaft.—The venerable BRYANT
was prefent, with a large allimbly of Ladies and
Gentlemen. ,

boats and (parties in confequence joined, the *day
being very fine, till at left there could not be lets
than one thouiand perfons on the water. When

ADNIIALTY-OFFICt, JULY 28, 1801.
con if a letter from the Honourable Wit Lime CoattwaL Lis,
Admiral of the Blue, &c. to EVAN 14artAN, Efq. dated off
Ufhant, the 23d instant.

Sir—l have the honour of enclofing, for the in-
formation of the Lords Commiffioners of the Ad-
miralty, a letter from Capt. BRISBANE, of his Ma-
jelly's (hip the DORIS, who commands the frigates
employed in watching the enemy's fleet at the en-
trance of Breit harbour, in which important fer-
vice he has (hewn a great deal of zeal and enter-

prize.
This daring exploit appears to me to (Lind as
high in point of credit to hit Majesty's arms,
and glory to thole brave 'officers and men who
have fo nobly atchieved it, as any of the kind ever
performed. (Signed) W.

Sir--I have the honour to inform you, that a
molt daring and gallant enterpril was laft night
undertaken by the bola of hi s Maj efty's (hips Do a : s,
ssimiso, and Mums, entirely manned by vo
lunteers, under the direftion of Lieutenant Lo.
SACK of the VI LL I DI PARIS, whofe gallantry on
the occifion is better felt than erpreffed,whofucce ed-
ed in boarding and carrying the French national fhi p
la Chevrette, mounting twenty guns, manned and
completely prepared with three hundred and fifty
men, under the batteries in the Bay of Canierat,
and in the prtfence of the combined fleets of
France and Spain.
Any comments of mine would fall far fhort of
the merit due to thole gallant Officers, feamen, and
marines employed upon this fervice : it is but jut-
Lice to fubjoin their names and qualities*, who have
fo nobly added an additional luftre to his *jet-
ty's arias.

I have molt futterely to regret the loft of the
killed and wounded, but when compared with that
of the enemy, it is comparatively &tall. I cannot
conclude without returning my warmefk thanks to
Captains Poyarz and GAGS, for their judicious ar-
rangements of their boats. I beg to mention that
Captain ;cam, of his Majefly's Ihip ROBUST, ve-
ry handfomely fent his barge add pinnace on this
fervice I likewife Lieutenant Smits*, who placed
his Majelly's hired cutter TILIMACHUS in the
Goulct, and prevented any affinance, by boats, the
enemy might bave attempted. (Signed)

PLYMOUTH, JULY 17.
The Chevrette French corvette, which came in
here yelierday, is mounted with so nine-pounders,
and had on board at the time when the &elm com-
menced, 339 men, including troops: when the
boats firft attempted to board, the Frenchmen
were ranged three deep on the gangways and
booms, armed with mikes, pikes, and toma-
hawks, and being thus fully prepared to meet the
&kith tailors, the firfi onfet was very dreadful,
and a number of very brave fellows fell, before
the objee of boarding was accompliflied ; but the
number of killed and wounded on this occafion,
we have not yet heard ; after the Englilh were
fairly on board. the carnage became more general,
and the contefi was kept up with great (laughter
for about an hour and a half, until the deck of the
vefel was literally filled with dead and wounded
bodies, when the Frenchmen finding further re-
fiance ineffeenal,declared they bad (buck : from
the belt accounts we can collet of the killed and
wounded on board the corvette, it appears to be li
as follows, vie. is men killed, and 57 wounded of
the Enitlith ; and 92 killed, and 6s wounded, of
the French ; making in the whole 233: the French
Captain was killed in a fuigle combat with Lieu-
tenant Haviasa, of the thiamin. and the latter was
alfei bay wounded in a fabfequent part of the

battle. Lieut. Simciatt, of the Marines, was killed
in defknding a Midfhipman of the Doais, who
was alfo wounded in two places while endeavour-
ing to get on board the corvette. So defperate an
undertaking has hardly been attempted during the
war, as the (tip lay under the guns of a very
ftrong battery, but fortunately all the (hot paired
over her, fo that the boats were not much an-
noyed by them. The (hip has on board a great
quantity of Rores for Senegal, and not, as was
firs Rated, St. Domingo, to which place (be Was
about to fail. sThe wounded brought in have been
landed this morning, and carried to the Hofpital.
Many of the Englifh Tailors we underhand had
their arms cut off by the Frenchmen's tomahawks
when endeavouring to board. During the anion
three 8o gun (hips came out of Breit to ailift the
corvette, and the Engin fleet made an attempt
to cut them off, but they retreated and got into
the harbour again. The Fleet are now cruizing
clofe off the port, to prevent any veal from get-
ting out.

Came in the Hyt ma, of 24. guns, from Cork,
where fhe left the North Sea Fleet, confifting of
1 2 fail of the line, under the command of Admiral
POLE.

Sailed the ACHILLSS, of 74 guns, Captain
But ER, to join the Channel Fleet.
Came in the NIMROD cutter, of 14 guns, from
the Channel Fleet. By this veffel it appears that
the French fleet at Breit, with the troops on board,
are quite ready for a pulp, to affifl in the medita-
ted invafion of this country. The Officers that
were captured in the corvette confirm the account,
and fay that it may take place before we are aware
of it.
