A cartel arrived at Plymouth, has brought intelli-
gence that when the left Mortal' on the isth at
night, it was underftood there, that the Ficsr Cott•
suc was at Boulogne with his own regiment, and
that he was to head the expedition in ',calm.
We announced yetlerday the receipt of difpatehes
at the Admiralty, with accounts of Tome extraordi-
nary movements on the part of the enemy. One ac-
count which reached us, after our Paper was at
Prefs, Rated, that the French flotilla of 27 French
gun boats had been difcovered at fea, near the Ifle of
Alderney, and that they had been fuccefsfully at-
tacked by one of our frigates,and fume fmall crui zers.
They bad taken three of the gun boats, and driven
the reR on the rocks, where they had been all de-
Rroyed. This report, however, was not given on
any pofitive authority, nor did it receive much credit.
We Rated yeßerday that the difpatches came from
Lymington. In this we find we were quite corm& ;
they were not however from Sir James Sausraesz,
but trom the Officer commanding the Sea Fencibles
at Lymington, as our Readers will fee by the fol.
lowing letter.

"Cuftam-Houk, Lymington, Nov. 15.

" A report was brought here this morning, by a
veffel from the coaft of France, that the French had
put to fea yefterday with 8o gun•boats, and it is fup-
pofed with an intent to attack Alderney; that when
the veffel came away, they were engaged by one ofl
our frigates; and that as the wind blew flrong upon
the coaft of France, it would be impoffible for the
gun boats to regain the French ports. We cape&
further intelligence every hour.
a This intelligence was reckoned of fo much im•
portance that the Officer commanding the Sea Fend-
bles here fent off an exprefs with it to the Admiralty."
When we compare the above letter with the con-
tents of our Portfmouth letter of yellerday. fisting
the arrival there of the LIIIIIRTY brig, with a brig,
a fchoener, and a chafe maree from la Hogue, as
prises, we are inclined to hope that accounts will
foots be received of Tome important advantage gained
over the enemy.
Soase letters from Portfmonth. indeed fine. that the
prises brought in by the Liss aTT brig were part of a
lest of as welch of the fame defcription, which
belonged to the French flotilla of invafion. They
were Reeling along from Cape la Hogue to Chet.
boerg. when they were difcovered by la PouLITTS
Hoop of war, which immediatelygave them ehace, and
drove the whole armada on the rocks. The boats of la
Poo however, affsiledby thofe of the Lia s eve
brig, fueeeedad in bringing off the three veffels above.
mentioned, anewithftanding they were oppofed by
batteries as well as mulketry, though, fortunately,
without effecting any inifehief whatever to our people,
This advantage obtained over the French gun boats,
though of no great confequence in an abfirati view
of it, may be confidered as leading to confequences
of real importance, inafmuch as it mull prove the
inefficiency of their flotillas, and the ratio of force
which is adequate to the deftruition of the whole
fleet of gun boats which have been prepared, or are
are Rill preparing, on the coati of France.

The fo lowing paragraph we copy from a morning
paper of this day :
4. That the Spanifh Government not a long while
fince entertained Prong apprehentionsof being involv-
ed in a war ‘. ath this country, is evident firm the fol-
lowing article which we ha night received through
a very refpzdtable channel. It is given in a letter
' from Polo!, dated Sept. 7, which (aye, oOn Wednefday

a Dandy valet from Tenerife. which had an Eng-
