something even OF the pubic asperity a.
cainsr lord Melvi1le had subsidized, and : i
igher degree Of fear and interest abroad
echpses the operation OF private feeling and
croseca,ion al home. In word, as a.
shiugs are of relative importance, and the
first concernof a people IS to- seeurs
from foreigu foe, the zeal and anaInoaiEY
against the delinquents OF the teosn rePoa3
have, in good measure been diverted m
70 another channel, and turned with no
common violence against that part OF our
ADMINISTRATION which superintends ths IA
val department.. The clamor indeed is &C.
neral, but the complaint is almost who'll.
without rearson.
II now appears that the French have GO
ken the war into their own hands; that's
xre have all along been dreaming OF our
maritime super-eminence, and that she sys-
tenn Of blockade upon which we relied So
much, has proved IN its event. destructive

nosed 10 the casualties and violence OF the
weather, and unequal TO the confinement OF
the enemy. !,
The French feet has not only escaped

fonod the whole circuit of the Mediterra'
mean coast, to the relief of the blockaded
enemy. s; they are enabled to raise the seige
A. every port and our force is not strong e
,noughto oppose their entrance.
It's credited from general report that the
Tonlon feet upon its escape immediately
sailed 10 Cadiz, where sir John Orde who
was stationed, at the mouth ofthe harbor,
was not in sufficient power to engage them.
AZ this point however evidence tails U.S.
:, i known that the French feet almost i'm
med ately lett Cadiz; whether accompanied
BY the Spanish feet or not, IS the subject
Of doubt.
Some who are very bold IN their conjee-
tuye. beiiege that the Spanish admiral was
compelled to sail, though his ships were
rnnanned, and his preparations almost dc.
f6ciens, aud thar the combined fleet had pro-
ceed-d straight forward to release about z
sail of the line In the port OF Ferrol |; thus
making ageneral circle OF deiiverance and
Oyer. Tsrmiaer round the coast, and ena-

The Glory, of9s guns, is hourly ex-
pecred at Spishead, with Admiral SIR John
Orde ON board. Orders have been sent
90 him TO repair thither, and to strike his
flag.
The GROWERS complain thar sir John
Orde did not attack the Toulon feet, not
withstanding its great superiority of force;
bur they forgot that SIX line OF battle ships
were ready to put TO sea from Cadiz, to
increase the fearful odds against his little
squadron.
Some think that itwoald have been adj
.sisable for sir John Orde TO have effected
an immediate junction with our feet off
Ferrol, and gone in close pursuit of the
enemy. when they could have had buta
day or two start of him, even at the risk of
letting out the ships there, which, having
no troops, and not forming part of any
expedition, could have done less injury.
BUT VIC donbt whether sir John Drde
could have had authority for such pro-
ceeding.
A private letter, of the End, from the
Hague, saws.
