important articles are copied.
Sir John B. Warren, with the feet under
his command consisting of 2 vessels of 98
guns, 3 of IL, Of 81, 6 frigates, and sloops

down to st. Heen'S on the 18th Of August,

Mr.. Foster had not arrived in England on

No general battle had been fought be-
tween France and Russia, but the Russians
had been defeated with considerable loss in
