BY AN ARRIVAL AT NEW.T0RK.

LONDON, JULY IS.
We have the pieafure of Eating, that the
homeward bound Jamaica and Lifbon fleets
have paGed by Portfmouth in perfea fafety.
We lated yelterday the arrival at the admir-
Paris, lord ST.. Vincenl's flag fhip, with dii-
patches from his lordihip, at Gibraltar MIR.
Jackion came home in Ia Sutifante. We have
by this conveyance the confirmation of the
junction of the French and Spanih fleets. con-
filing of forty -four fail of the line, off Carlha-
gcna, on the 2zd ult. and of their having failed
again ON the 24th, with view of repairing the
ftreigh,s of Gibraltar. The enemy's fleets were
feen from Gibraltar on the 6h infant, attempt
ing to beat through the Gut; but from the
rate Of the winds, it is not expected they could
accomplish this Object iooner than the zth.
Intelligence of the enemy's movements had
been difpatched on the z1d ult. to .ord Keith,
who was fuppofed to be off Genoa, adilfing the
operations of the allied armies in Italy and as
the enemy's fleets had met with fuch adverfe
winds, it is thought not improbable but his
lordlhip would come up with them before they
could pats the itreights.
Yeferday evening capt. George Burton, OF
the HARLEM OF IL guns, arrived at the admit
rally from Gibraltar the HARLEM failed a
day later than la Sufiian,c fhe was chaied on
her paGage home by part OF the French and
Spanilh feet /: and on the 9th infant heard
heavy firing. but could not learn the particu.
lars, being compelled to bear away, under a
heavy pref, of fail, from the hyperion force
which bore down on his ihip.
The intelligence captain Burton brings, con.
firms the reports thar the French and Spanih
fleets have effeeied a Junction, had attempted to
pats the Gut of Gibraltar, (molt probably with
view of counteraaing the threatened exped,-
ton againa Holland by the renewed menace of
deicent on lreland) but being baffled in that
attempt by the Rate os the wind, they had re-
turned up the Mediterranean, with view of
getting again into Carthagena.
A rumour, however, has been very generally
circulated in town, that the Britilh and conn
bined fleets were in fight, and even that they

accounts are totally diibelieved at the admiral
ty. as no iuch Intelligence has been received
officially there.
