This forenoon difpatches were received at the Ad.
miralty from Sir Jams, Saumaaes. They wcre
brought by one of Sir Jaw Is's Lieutenants. There
difpatches are different from thofe alluded to in
our Plymouth letter, for the Officer who brought
them, landed at Lymington in Hampihire. Their
contents had not tranfpired when this paper was put
to prefs.

It is aliened, however, that the& difpatchas have
brought accounts of a more than afual adivity being
obfervable among the French, on the coaft oppofite
Gaernfey and Jerfey. Ina few hours the nature of
the intelligence will probably be better known. In
the mean time, the Telegraphs at the Welt fquare
and Cheilea Rations, have been very adlive.—At the
Admiralty, the Telegraph could not be ufed, owing
to the fog hanging over the town.

We have been favoured with the perufal of a letter
from an Officer on board the Vim.' as Pasts, dated
the soth infiant„ which contains the following im-
portant particulars ;
The French have, in the outer Road„ at acre••
7 Sail of the Lines
3 Frigates,
4 or 5 Corvettes, and
3 large Trsnfports,
befides the Gips in the inner Road. the number of
which is not Rated. Our blockading force confills of
so fail of the line.

At Ferrol, the French have five fail of the line,
blockaded by Sir Eaweso Ps t.Lsw, with fix fail.
They have at Rochfort a three decker, with z too
nun on board, ready for (ea.

The following letter, though not of fo late a date
by a week as loon which have appeared in this Paper,
will be found to contain fume interefling particulars :
" GIBRALTAR, OCT. 7.—On the 4th the MIBUS•
frigate, Captain Cola, arrived from a cruize to the
Weftward.

•• Captain Goat boarded a Freud merchant !hip a
few days ago from St. Domingo, with the French
Admiral Lucian Taivissit on board, in his way to
Toulon from Cape Francois. He had a protection
from Admiral Duciworrn for himfelf and the fhip
be was in, in confequence of which Captain Goat
fuffered him to proceed, after politely fending him
an ample fupply of live Rock and wine, of which
they were totally in want.
44 The French Admiral informed him, that they
had abandoned all St. Domingo except Cape Fran-
cois.
40 A •ellel which arrived two days ago from the
Bay of Roles, reports that the Englilh fquadron
cruising off there, had captured a French frigate
coming from the Welk Indies, and that the fleet had
taken two or three ether merchant !hips.
Nine fail of the line had at different times put in
there for water and provifions in the courfe of a
month. _ _

sr We eve& honilities to be commenced on the
part of the Spaniards whenever they are ready:—
They are reinforcing their different fea•port towns,
and fitting out feveral (hips of the line at Carthage-
sa, though but very fiowly, from the want of naval
!torts."
