The following Bulletin was frnt to Lloyd's
this morning -

BY 4 dhpatch received this morning from
Admiral Col!ingwood, dated the on ult. If 3p
pears that on the preceding day the enenny's
fleet, conihiEg of o. or os fail Of the line with
ievera ffgateS, entered that harbour, after in
efectnal!y chaGns the FINAL fquadron under the
| Vice Admira's command.
| Goa tie 9ith the Euryaius, by which the
difpatch was traunitted, ei in with Sir Robert
Calder's iquadron 90 leagues n. w. of Cape St.
Vincents, 70 whom the intelligence was COM
inundated"
| Intelligence has alto been received with re-
ipect to the Rochefort squadron. They firf
went TO Vigo to join the Combined Fleets, but
milling them there failed again.
| 1t io evident now that tie court which the
enemy fra Reared wien they left Ferro, and
the htquentmoytmcnt OF the Brief feet, were
for the purpot of deceivilg u, into an idea that
combined operation was iutet,lcd, ard of
thereby preventing us from detaching force af-
ter the Combined fleets.
Thus are relieved from all anxiety with
reipef TO our homeward bound fleets, particu-
idrly the great Eaf-India feet for If even the
. itochetort fquadron keep the Tea, which we be-
iieve they would not and have not, they are not
ifrong enough to attack the Ean-India fleet.
Undoubtedly we ihould have been glad if Sir II.
Calder had come up with and beaten the Conn
bined Fleets; but the mott welcome news next
to that of a victory is, TO find that they have
got INTO port without dong any injury to our
trade.
We have now only two great points to watch,
Brett and Cadiz, and both thole points are
watched by !ufficient force.
