It was very currently reported last night, that
Lord WELLimovott had entered Bourdeatat on the
12th instant, and the probability of such an event
having taken place, greatly strengthenid the con-
fidence of the public in giving credit to it. The
roport was founded on a letter from Plymouth,
which stated, that the intelligence had been brought
there by the Comet French prittateer, which left.

"fhe Sparrozci and Andromache on the 14th. We
cannot, however, ascertain that there is at present
any confirmation of this report. as to the cap_
mature of Bourdeaut, although it is highly probable'
we shall soon receive the important intelligence.--;
The CitAxceLLoa of the EicncouEn is evidently of
thit belief, by the observation he made to Mr. W.

should hear of another and more considerable ad-
vantage gained by the same great Commander.
