ADMIRALTY-OFFICE, SEPTEMBER 14.
Copy of a Letter from the Honourable Captain Percy, of his
Majesty's ship Antspor, addressed to Cqraitt Malcolm, of the
Royal Oak, and transmitted by Admit'al Sir Roger Curtis to
John Wilson Cro•ker, Esq.
His Majesty's ship Hotspur, off Citerbourgh, Sept. 9.
SlR—ln obedience to your order of yesterday,
joined the Barbadoes and Goshawke off Calvados,
and deeMing the destruction of the enemy's force
(consisting of seven Lrigs, mounting three twenty-
iour pounders and A mortar each, and manned with
seventy-five men) practicable, particubirly as my pilot
assured me that he could take the ship within pistol
shot without any risk, I immediately proceeded to
attack them at six p,.m. when, within less than half
gun-shot, the ship unfortunately grounded, which
• prevented tfieir complete destruction : J however
• succeeded in sinking one and driving two on shore ;
re Barbadoes had t:rieen one on shore the day before,
it having her broadside to us, she kept up as heavy
• fire as the others.
From the Hotspur being aground for four hours,
the whole of the enemy's fire from the brigs,
..battery, .and field pieces being directed upon her, I
an sorry to say that we have lost, in the performance
of this service, two midshipmen and three seamen
killed and twenty-two seamen and marines wounded,
and hate also received considerable damage in our
hull, masts, and rigging.
Captains Rusliworth and Lilburn rendered me
euery service in their power with boats, hawsers, &c.
but from' our situation they could not succeed in
drawing the enemy's fire from the Hotspur.
••I cannot find words sufficiently strong to express
my approbatiens of the conduct of every officer and
man in his Majesty's ship under my command ; their
steady and active conduct, under a heavy raking fire
for three hours, is de.ierving the highest praise.

PARIS, AUGUST S.
There has been inserted in several Journals, on the;
authority of the German Gazettes, a letter signed
Woyenski, in which it is announced, that by an
order from hiamperial Majesty the port of Dantzic
is entirely tree, and commerce permitted without re-
stricti..ns, and the duties diminished one.third." This
letter is false, and entirely fictitious. There is abso-
lutely no alteration in the system of blockade estab-
lished against England:
SEPT. 9.—To-day a Council of Commerce was held
at Compiegne, at which his Majesty presided, They
write from Catalonia that the expedition of the king-
dom of Valentia is on the point of being commenced.
LAYBECH, AUGUST 20.
His Excellency the Governor-deneral has left
Trieste, to make a journey into Elyria, He has
every where seen with pleasure, both the spirit of the
inhabitants, and the excellent discipline of the Na-
tional Guard, which has rendered essential service
by keeping order in the interior ; and by repulsing
with a ',access, equal to their zeal, all the attempts
at piracy made by the English do the, coast.—
His Excellency was enabled to make a great part of
his journey to St. Vincenzo in his carriage. This
road, the completion of which has been greatly faci-
i Mated by the good will of the inhabitants, extends
as far as to Capo d'lstria, and the interior of the
' country will soon experience the advantages resulting
from the facilities arising from these new communica-
tions ; we thus already participate in one of the most
signal benefits that have taken place dining the reign
of the Emperor. The amelioration of the roads, and
the opening of great mean; for circulation.
His Excellency the Governor-General has ...been
pleased to express his general satisfaction at the zeal
of the inhabitants, and to give them die praise which
is so much their due, for-their foloperation in these
useful works.

CADIZ MAIL.

The Francis Freeling packet, Captain BELL, hat

arrived at Falmouth from Cadiz, after a passage of
2.6 days. By this conveyance we have received a
considerable mass of information from the Peninsula,
which we subjoin. It is ow evident that large re-
inforcements are about to enter Spain from France.
—Mr. WELLL3LEY, our Minister at Cadiz, has pub-
lished a spirited letter to the Junta, in which he re.
plies to the calumnies circulated at Cadiz against the
British. Mr. WELLESLEY, in a dignified manner, dis-
avows the charges which have been brought against
the British Government of harbouring sinister view s
in our support of the Spanish cause.
