A LISBON MAIL

Arrived this day, and has brought numerous letters
refpeaing the late glorious allion off Trafalgar.—
Many of the details have however been anticipated
by the accounts already publifhed, and we are pre-
cluded from giving long extra& on a fubjea already
generally known, by the great length of the accounts
from Germany. We cannot however withhold the
following letter from Gibraltar, and the &ft Spanifh
account of the aftion:
GIBRALTAR. NOVEMBER go.

0 This morning Admiral COLLINGWOOD in the
QUEEN, arrived with the following (hips from off
Cadiz : Barrsmuis, Lord NaRTHESIt j NEPTUNE,
LEvisvnav, and SIitILIS frigate.
" The accounts from Cadiz confirm to the fulleff
extent the difailrous blow given to the Combined
Fleets, in the late glorious vf&ory. Out of the ten
Chips which got into Cadiz, only fix can ever be re-
fitted for tea. The animofity between the French and
Spaniard,, fence the condua of the French in the
fate battle, exceeds all belief. They were obliged,
when prifoners, to put them in different parts of the
fhip, to prevent their murdering each other, and a
'irenchman dare hardly land at Cadiz for fear of
'rein murdered."

".` Nor General of the fquadron of the Ocean, has

Prince of INACto adder date 1.10 the gsd Oeoter, is

" MOST SICSILL art 550PPtoit itr LORD,
" The fituation of Lieutenant General. Don Fat
bERICK Gaavisa, in confequened Of a ball be receiv-
ed in his left ands at the dofe of the aaion of yefler-
day, does not permit him to inforti your Excellency
of that fanguinary combat; and, although I have had
the fortune to fplll my blood for the honour of his
Majefly's arms, yet finding myfelflefs inconvenienced
than the brave and worthy General in Chitf, on whom
his Majely, with a confidence which he merits. bad
conferred the command of his fleet, I enter upon the
painful, but necefary obligation of informing your
Excellency, that our efforts, and the herciic difcharge
of our duty, have not been able to avert a lots which
would be great, if we were not firmly perfuaded that
nothing was left undone, and confequently that our
honour was fared.

'4 I know this under date of the 18th inflant, the
General GRAYIN• had informed your Excellency, that,
Admiral VILLINEuva had fignified to him his Mum.
tion of putting to fea the next day,and defired toknow
if the Spanifh fquadron was ready to accompany him.
Your Excellency is not ignorant of what was the
anfwer of the General, fatisfied that his fquadron
would promptly follow the movements of the French,
and that fuch were the repeated orders your Excel-
lency had communicated to him. With this infor-
mation the French Admiral returned on board, and
fubfequently made the fign for getting lip anchors,
fignals which were repeated by this Ihip, the
Principe d' Aftar;as, and followed by the moll ready
exertions for embarking the artillery and marines,
with various others which were on Ihore.

On the morning of the icith, tome French and
Spanifit [hips got under weigh, in confequence of a
fignal made by Admiral Vixt.asauva, but we were
not able to effed it all that day, the wind having
veered to the S.W. but getting round to E.S.E. they
all fucceffively got out on the morning of the loth.
Scarcely bad we cleared the mouth of the har-
bour, when the wind flirted to S. S. W. fo [lron& and
with fuch alarming appearances, that one of the CA
fignals made by Admiral Vt Luta& uvs, who had his
flag on board the Bucentaur, was to take in two
reefs in the main-fail. The fltifting of the wind ne-1
ceffarily occationed a difpertion of the fleet till to-
wards the evening, when the wind again Sifted, and
the horizon clearing, fignal was made to form in five
columns and to unite :—An advanced frigate made
fignal for eighteen fail of the enemy in fight ; and in
coafequence of this information, the thipswerecleared,
and every thing got ready for aftion. At three we
tacked and flood on for the Straights, preferring the
fame formation of five columns as before this move-
ment. After we had executed it, four of the enemy's
frigates appeared, which were chafed by drder. of
Admiral VILLENEUVE, and to this Gip he attached
l'Aigle, Algefiras, and San Juan, as a fquadron of
obfervation, which might reinforce the (hips in chafe,
with inftruaions to re unite with the main body of
the fleet before night fall.
" At half pall (even a French !hip advifed us of
l'Aigle having reconnoitered 18 enemy's Chips in line
of battle, and foon after we faw at no great diftance
feveral lights, which doubtlefs were made from the
enemy's frigates,interpofed between the two fleets. At
nine the Englifh made fignal by firing cannon, and
by the interval between the flafh and the report, they
appeared to be diftant about two miles. The French
Admiral made fignal that it was neceffary to form in
line of battle upon the leeward fhips, which was al-
tersiards repeated by the Admiral, and in this order,
the day break of the 2111 came on with the enemy in
fight, in number 28 (hips, among them a three-
decker, formed in order of battle. At (even in the
morning, the enemy approached in different columns
upon our fquadron, with a diredion to the centre and
rear ; upon which Admiral Vita.swavva ordered
them to tack in fuccctflon, which brought the fqua-
dron of obfervation, commanded by General Get-
TINA, into the fituation of rear guard. General Get•
YINA made to his fquadron the fignals proper to ena-
ble them to perform the various movements which
the exigency of the circumftanees required, with obi-
' lity.and precifion, and on nearing the enemy, be or-
dered them to dole their diflances, and complete their
order.

At eight minutes before twelve an Engin three.
decker, with a flag at her main top, penetrated our
line in the centre, fupported by the (hips which were
in her wake, the heads of the other column of the
enemy did the fame ; one of them doubled our rear
guard, another entered between l'Aigle and San ll-
defonfo, and from that moment the anion was con.
fined to a furious combat between the whole of the
enemy's fquadron and the half of ours, the greater
part of the time within piflol mot. I have not the
neceffary information to enable me to acquaint your
Excellency with the particulars of thefe anions, nei•
ther can I at prefent fay any thing of the move.
ments of the van guard which I am alTured, from
the commencement, fupported that part of the fqua-
dron which was attacked ; what I can affirm to your
Excellency is, that all the (hips both French and
Spanifh, which were within my obfervation, molt
Cully performed their duty, and that this (tip, after
A horrible combat of four hours with three or four of
the enemy, with all her fails and rigging cut, without
(lays, without the power of making fail, ber malls
and top•mafts pierced through with balls, aced in a

. moft diftrefed canditiOn; Wit! okiarsinely iffilted
by the Spanilh flip San. Julio; and the French
fliip Nejniine,
.which occafioned..tiie removal of the
enempj frenrsuiv and equally alfilied the junction of
the kayo, Montanes, Afis and San Leandro, which
were fu much dastsaied, with tome utherFrench !hips
which had no better fate.

44 As foon as this (hip was free from opponents,
orders were given to thofe united to fawn fuck
(tips in aaion as required fupport ; and at night-fall
the firing having ceafed on all fides, the frigate la
Thamife towed us towards the Bay of Cadiz, into
which it was not poillble to enter that night, the
wind having got to the S. S. E. Ikon, with (hoovers
of rain, which obliged us to anchor at one mile and
a half from Rota, with the above•tnentioned !hips;
and having confitlerably frefbened, our main and
mizen-malls were carried away, notwithftanding the
cautions taken for their fecurlty. It alto difnsaßed
the Leandro, which had anchored dote by as.
4, I cannot do lefs than perform a duty, which to
me is very pleating in your Excellency's view ; the
generous emulation with which the Officers and crew
of this flip firove to perform their refpeEtive duties,
and I am highly grateful in paying this tribute
to dance who, by their gallant conduit in aftion hive
fo greatly accredited thetnfelves. We have had at
killed, among them Lieutenant de Vaiffean Don
L. P. del Cast:as, and to 7 badly wounded, in which
number is included the Lieutenant of Volunteers,
Don B. Co&aaL, and Brigadier of Maiines Don A.
Rua. I have learnt that Capt. Don F. d'ALCKDO,
of the Montanes, was killed in the aaion, and his fe-
cond Captain, Don A. CASTANOS) badly wounded;
many lotfes of other excellent Officers have doubtlefs
been futlained throughout the fleet, force feveral
(hips were entirely difmaßed, and this cataarophe is
generally accompanied with misfortunes which are
inevitable; when I am acquainted with them, I will
communicate them to your Excellency."

We flop the prefi to Irate, that letters have been
received from Rotterdam of the 27th, Amflerdarn
of the :6th, and near the Hague of the 28th, whidt
do not mention a word of any fermate peace hav-

The TEIMAIIIti, Tolllllllll', and Colossus, part
of the viaorious fleet, arrived,at Spithead on Satur-
day afternoon. They failed with a number of others
from Gibraltar for the different ports in the Channel,
in order to undergo the necefrary repairs, after the
glorious altion of the stn.

Lord Cot.t.twcwoon was left at Gibraltar with a
part of the fleet, which was not in need of repairs,
after leaving a fufficient force to blockade Cadiz,
under Admiral Loots.

When the Tawsaate■ paffed the Straights on the
19th, fite found Sir Jams Duczwoarm had arrived
from England four days before, with two fail of the
line, and had affumed the command of the blockad•
ing fquadron, which was in expeaation of being (non
after joined by the five fail of the line which failed
from Portfmouth after the news of the aaion was re-
ceived.

The French Admiral litt.t.susuva, and his Se-
cond Captain ManeHawn, are Rill at Gofport. It
was intended that they &cold immediately proceed
to Bifitop's Waltham, but M. Vti.t.sueues was taken
fo ill with fpafms, that it was deemed necerary to let
him remain a night or two at Gofport. The Admi-
ral is of middle fize, about 55 years of age, of mild
