A letter from Wefel, of the 3iR of July, Rates,
that the Prußian troops in the Margraviates of
Anfpach and Bareuth, which have hitherto been
on the war eßablifliment, have received permiflion
to grant a certain number of furloughs for each
company. The two regiments of the InfpeCtion of
Magdeburg, which were to march to Franconia,
have received counter orders. The finall map-
zines on the Rhine are to be tranfported to Min-
den. Thefe Gels totally overthrow the conjec-
tures refpelting the deftination of the Pruffian re-
giments of Franconia.
tetters from Rotterdam, mention that a va-
riety of movements have taken place among the
troops Rationed on the fouthern coalts of Holland;
confiderable reinforcements were expeCted from
the interior, which are now on their march to this
point.
The Englifh Admiral DICKSON, on quitting his
Ration near the heights of the IRe of Goree, left
Tome fwift failing vellels in that quarter, to watch
the motions of the Dutch fquadron fitted out in
the ?deuce. The Englith cruifers Rationed at the
mouth of the Scheldt have lately captured feveral
tithing veffels on the coalls of the iRe of Walche-
ren ; the enemy queßioned the mailers rcfpeßing
the number of troops now collefted in the ifles of
Zealand.
We learn from Breit, that the Corvette 12 Cite-
vrette has been cut out of Camaret by the Englifh
in the middle of the night, but that the refinance
which thole on board her made, is not the leis
honourable ; furprifed, without arms, furronnded
and attacked at the fame moment, they defended
themlelves with a valour truly French; three times
were the Englifh repulfed, and it is proved, by the
accounts of the wounded, that they were every
time dreadfully mauled, although there was but ,
an handful of men to engage them. The fmall
body of Marines on board performed wonders.
Captain CIIAISSEREAU did not yield until after
having killed or wounded feveral Englifh. The
Captain at Arms was not lets diftinguiffied: he is
now in the hofpital much wounded, but not, it is
thought, dangeroufly. The Officer who com-
manded the Marines is killed. The Englifh have
fent in a Flag of Truce, with the French who were
wounded, amounting to 40 in number. It is me-
lancholy to fee the fituation of them, which, is
however, a fufficient proof that the Englith did
not owe their prize to the cowardice of the French,
but to the artifice which they employed. Taking
advantage of the darknefs of the night, they ap-
proached her in filence, and when at only a fhort
diftance, fuddenly ruched on and boarded her,
which was not difficult to be done, as three-fourths
of the crew were afleep, and thofe on deck un-
armed. The oars of the Englilb boa/swere muffled.
The Englifh were in their shirts and had a black
ftrinc on their arms to diltinguJh one another, but
notwithaanding thefe precautions, they mull have
killed a great number of their own men, as their
lofs is greater than ours.
The letters from Cadiz of the 14th July, give
the following details of the terrible difafter which
befell the two Spanifh I!.;ps in the engagement
which took place in their ;mirage from Algeziras:
" The combined Squadron left Algeziras on the
evening of the t:th of July, confining of Five
Spanilh (hips r.f the line, Four French line of bat-
tle (hips, and "lice French and One Spanifh fri-
gate. The Lnglith, concifling of Five (hips of the
hne and a frigate, had failed before them and
taken a Ration at a great diftance, in order not to
alarm the combined fquadron ; but confufion and
diforder had is the very beginning of the night

arifen among them. The Hermenegildo fired
upon the Formidable French (hip, and killed feve-
ral, befides wounding 40.—The French Captain
ftw the error of the Spaniard, and fheered off in-
Read of returning the fire. An Englifh (hip then
placed herfelf between the Real Carlos and the
Hermenegildo, fired a broad-fide on each fide, and
failed away. Thefe two unhappy (hips could not
difcern the manoeuvre of the aggreffor, and taking
one another for Englifh, began to board, caught
fire, and blew up; the Real Carlos firft, and the
Hermenegildo twenty minutes afterwards. Thefe
explofions produced terrible {hocks, which were
felt at Cadiz, at a quarter paR one in the morning,
and were millaken at hrft for an earthquake. Of
the Real Carlos but one man was faved—of the
Hermenegildo about 40.
" Thefe beautiful three-deckers were almoft new,
and carried 112 guns. They had each of them
above I coo men on board. We do not yet know
what is the fate of the St. Antonie, but it is feared
that fhe has been attacked by the three Englifh
(hips, taken and carried into Gibraltar; but thefe
are at indent but vague fears. There remains at
Algeziras but the Englifh (hip the HANNIBAL, on
thine, and taken, but it was impoffible to make it
follow, fo bad was its condition."
