This morning arrived a mail from Jamaica,brought
to Falm,imh, Ly the DUKE or You packet.
Paris Journals to Oftober 3 inclufive, arrived
yeflerday. The Fiasr CONSUL had not then fet out,
but was expeCted to proceed to/on:apart of the codlin
a day or two.

Dirpatches were received laft night from Sir SYD-
r y SMlTH,clinic ar.-ival at Yas mouth we announced
yefier,i.ty. They relate to the preparations of the
cir:my in the ports of Holland, where the troops
can be fern by our !Lips praaiiing embaikation and
lamliog, as on the French coall. Sir Sylmar hai
captured one of the boats, which was taken in tow
by the A rsr.op ; but a ftrong gale coming on, and
the boat having loft her mall, he was relatantly
compelled to let her drift.
The abuvc difpatches are of confiderable import-
ance. They were brought by Sir S. SMITH'S own
Secretary to the Admiralty and other Offices. Ac-
cording to thefe difpatches, the enemy's preparations
for the invafiun of this country are in fuch a (late of
forwardnefs, in Holland, that Sir SYDNEY believes
an attempt of Tome kind will certainly be made in a
very few days; and his opinion is formed on the beft
information that could poffihly be obtained—that is
on goad information, for this Officer knows how to
procure it.
Difpatches of a late date were alto received laft
night from Admiral CORNWALLIS. All was well—
the crews of the Chips under his command all in high
fpirits, and impatient to meet the enemy's force,
which, however, had not made any attempt to get
out of Breit, when thefe advices came away.
We announce with much pleafure, that a greater
hurtle prevails in the Admiralty and Navy Office De-
partments at the prefent moment, than has been ob-
fervable fince the commencement of the war.

Difpatelies were thii day received from Commo•
dote Hoot) in the Weft Indies. The particulars have
not tranfpired.
The French gun boat carried into Deal is a very
ill conflruCted veffcl, and has been the fubje& of
much merriment to the Tars who have teen
It is abfolutely impoflible to defcribe the fallies of
wit and outré fymbolical expreflion, made ufe of
on the occafion, by thefe eccentric Eons of Neptune.
Indeed, confidered as a fpecimen of the craft which
compote the French armada, it is not eafy to con-
ceive any thing more contemptible. Even the French
failors themfelves could hardly maintain their gra.
vity, when our Tars were indulging in merriment at
the expence of the cock boat.
It will be feen by our Deal letter, that Bowapaara
was at Boulogne on Tuefclay lan : at leak fo fay the
people who were taken on board the above boat.—
If fo, he mull have quitted St. Cloud after the date
of the French Journals above mentioned.

This day we lay before our Readers the letters
which reached us yefterday by the Liibon Mail. On
the fubjed of the yellow fever, which has broken out
at Malaga, we truft we need fay little to induce Mi-
nifters to adopt the fame wife precautions refpeeting
veffels from that, quarter which they have ordered to
be enforced with thofe from New York. We fee by
our Plymouth letter, that a vcffel from Malaga has
put in there in difireft--we hope of a different kind
from infeetion.
GIBRALTAR, OCTOBER a.

" We are Rill in fufpence about a Spani(h war,
though we daily expee it, and we hear from Madrid
that the ultimatum of the Britifh Court had been
received there. The forbearance of England Awards
Spain has been molt impolitic and ruinous : we have
fuffered all the bad effeßs that the enmity of Spain
could have accomplilled, and have reaped no advan-
tages in return : an immenfe treafure, that would
have enriched our gallant navy. will be now in part
aftively employed in paying thole troops defined for
the invafion of England. The Spaniards are now
reinforcing the garrifons of their lea port towns, and
fitting ntit fume line of battle (Lips at Carthagena.
" The Americans have not yet made up their dif-
ference with the Moors, and it is fuppofed they will
not without paying very handfomely. The Emperor
was to arrive at Tangier this morning.
" By accounts from Malta, in t 5 days, we learn
that the Marnelukes have completely defeated and
driven the Turks out of the whole of Upper and
Lower Egypt, except Alexandria, which was the
only place left in their poffeflion ; and which, it was
fuppoled. they would Ihortly be obliged to evacuate.
The lame intelligence is confirmed by a velfel direet
from Alexandria in forty days.
