C O M B I N E D S Q U A D R O N S ,

Letter from Vice-Admiral Villenewvc to the Minister •of Marine and Colonies, dated on hoard the Bucen-taiir, in the Road of Vigo, 19th July.

M O N S S I C I N E U R , " r gave you an account of ihe lec.ontre

I had on thc'Z'Sd. with an English .squadron, composed as I believe, ot 15 sail of the line. J had the honour ol informing you at the'same "time of the manoeuvies .1 practised to. retain the advantage of the wind, and to disconcert the project of the enemy for placing my rear between two fire;:.

" T h e fog, with which we were enve-loped during the action, prevented me irom giving such orders as might be necessary ; bat alter an action of three hours I had eve-ry reason to think that I'had the advantage of the action, when upon the fog clearing up, 1 missed two ol the Spanish ships. I ai'first flattered myself that they got info some Spanish Pott , but as I have not since heard of them, and as one of them was dismasted, I think it possible that they may j j a v e fallen into the power of the enemy.

" It was in vain that on the 23d and 2.4th, I endeavoured to-force the English Admiral to renew the action ; he.'Constantly avoided it. On the 2,61b, having lost sight of him, I steeied lor t'eiTO], to unite under my flag .his C A T H O L I C M A J E S T Y ' S s q u a d r o n ,

commanded by Lieut. Genetal G R A N D I -L I AN A. For two days I contended against a . fresh N ; E. w i n d , and a heai-y • sea, w.hich impeded my course so much that I determined to anchor in V i g o , in order to disembank the wounded, and some of [he soldiers who; were i l l ; and also to take in water, which the Aehilles.' a.nd the Algesiras iti.,particular stood in need of , not having remained long enough in the Antilles to take any in.

In the rencontre of the 22d, we en-gaged « a considerable distance^ and I send you a-.li.stof the killed and wounded, , which is very inconsiderable. Y o u r Excel lency may be assured that I. shall remain but a short time in this-road, and that as soon as 1 have,taken in. w a t e r , 1 shall go in search, of the English squadron, without, however , neglecting the mission with which. I am charged.

A s the'Englr-h Admiral w h o engaged me has certainly three of his vessels rendered unfit to keep the sea. I do not think he can have more than twelve.with him.. I cannot praise too highly th.e skill a.nd the noble.con-CI'uct.of A d m i r a l G R A V I N A A l l t h e S p a -

nish, vessels, longlu W.iih trie utmost bur-very ; but 1 am still at a loss Jo comprehend how it was

that vje lost, the two Ships that are missing.—

Nevertheless, your Excellency wi l l 'petce ive , lhat the two disabled vessels might fali into the enemy's, line, without its being in my p o w e r to:secure them.

" I beg you will assure the E M P E R O R that I did my utmost to attack the enemy again ; that 1 obstinately pursued them, and that they constantly declined.ihe, action. . I cannot too highly praise my Captains and C r e w s ! ,

N A P L E S , A C S . 3 On-'Friday, the 26th of July there was an

eaithquake in the greatest part of this K i n g -dom, which w.asso violent, that since that of C a l a b ft a there has been none attended w : ;h similar devastation. In the city of Naples, 8qo houses have become uninha-bitable, and upwards of 4000 are much da-maged..; 40 churches have been shaken to their ve;.y foundations. T h e number of persons w h o have.perished by the fall of the buildings, is nor very great in this, capital, but in some inland towns which are entirely destroyed, the inhabitants h a v e nearly all lost theit lives. T h e small towns of Iser-nia, in the County of Molese, is nothing but a heap of ruinSj and upwards of 1500 per-sons, ha ve pet Wired their . A s C a m po Ba3so, and at Baiano, m the same province, most ol the inhabitants were destroyed. Avel ino,* Montesa rchio, Bene v ento, and A versa, have suffered amazingly . At Santa M a r i a de Capua (the antiefit C a p u a ) , a w h o l e com-pany of the C a v a l r y w e r e buried under the ruins of their barracks. A t Caserta the upper stories of the houses tumbled d o w n , and the fine palace is so much damaged, that it is feared it canr.ot stand. T h e letters from Pugl ia and Calabria state, that those pro-vinces have only experienced a slight shock. Since the 26th of July Naples presents a very unusual, and indeed a dreadful spectacle .— A l l the inhabitants remain both night and day Without their houses in the plains and road's near the city. T h e y have, during that time,

. slept in carriages on ihe bare ground. T h e general distress has risen 10 the highest pitch -

' arid, it is certain, that if the earthquake had been followed by some more shocks, the whole city of Naples >wpu.ld have been de-stroyed. T n the midst of the greatest dis-tinction which has taken place ever since that moment, the greatest public order has been pieservod, thanks to the vigilance and c o u r a g e of the D u k e of A sc,OL r, Chief Imendant of the General Polix-ei '1 he I . a z -zai oni have not committed a single robbery or murder.

VMas. ' T h e s e ' rrthch in the action, but they sail badly , and. I'consider them'as rather likely to delay the squadron than'to. reinforce it.

' " I have, disembarked here my sick T h e length of the voyage, , and: the bad Weather has caused a sickness amongst the troops,." but.those w h o hav.e nothing but the scurvy are in. no danger, and wil l soon be restored by air and'fiesh pro visions. I shall sec out with 15 ships, of which two are Spanish, and if w e have any affair on our voyage to F e r r o l , with the squadron which w e ' h a v e already fought, we hav.e nothing to (ear.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUG. 18.

F R O M T H E C O U R I E R . . In a second Edition of our Paper , yester-

day , we stated that a letter' had been re ceived from A d m i r a l C O R N W A L L I S , dated the 22d, infoi tning the Admira l ty , T h a t on the preceding evening, the Brest Fleet, cousising of 2,1' sail of line of battle ships, a.nd four.frigates, appeared outside of the, harbour. T h e Admiral a-ncho'red his fleet o f f the Black I focks , and in the morning endeavoured to bring the enemy, w h o were .under weigh, to action ; but when their headmost ship was within gun-shot, they fifed a broadside' and tacked,, the rest doing the same, and l o o k u p their ancho-rage; between the Points at the entrance of Biest , A n attempt was made to cut off the sternmost ships, but a h e a v y fire of shot and shells from the batteries prevented; suc-cess."

O u r P lymouth Letter says, that the Brest fleet came out and anchored in C a m a ret1 Bay,.

; and that Admiral C O R N W ; A L L I S immedi-ately bore d o w n and anchored, on the even-ing of ihe 21 st, as close as possible, intend-ing to bring the enemy to action at day l ight, the Viile de Paris to lead the v a n ; ' but the French.slipped and cut their cables and ran for Brest. A partial and short action took place between their rear and tire Fille de Paris Cmsar, and Montague.

1 he Dutch fleet also made a movement on T h u r s d a y last, indicating an intention to put to s e a ; but they soon returned to their old anchorage. Some have inferred front his new activity, that the enemy have a com-bined naval operation in v i e w . . — W e do not believe it—-the movements of the Brest and Dutch fleets were merely, we have no doubt , to prevent our deta'ching any p a n o f our

naval force after the Combined Fleets, or to the Mediterranean,

T h e force seen by the Iris was , we be-l i e v e , only i n sail of th.e line, 15 of the combined flpess, and 12 From Ferrol .

It is reported that the enemy have been sinceseen by one ot our cruizerson the even* in'g of the 14th, and that they were only 26 Sail of men of war in all.

In answer to a Letter in an Opposition Paper of this M o r n i n g , w.e have to state, that the force in Ferrol never exceeded 16 in al l , including those under repair in the A r s e n a l : and the utmost the French and Spanish force in that place and Cotunna could be estimated at, before the arrival ot V I L L E N U V E a n d G R A V I N A , w a s 1 3 —

but most probably only 12 in a condition lor Sea. T h e Dutch ship theie has been sold and broken up long ago.

N o intelligence has been received from Sir R.. C A L D E R since he was dispatched from the CSnannel Fleet.

W e are happy to announce that the Phoenix frigate of 36 guns, has taken tlie DicLm • of 44 guns, and 300 men, after a (very spirited and gallant action of three hours , in which the Didon was totally dis-masted.

T h e action was fought on the io ih of A u g u s t , a little to the westward ot the scene of action of the 22d, and is. spoken of as in the highest degree creditable to Capt . ' B A K E R , the Officers and crew of the Phce-nix.

T h e Didon is the frigate which went from L'Orient, to Martinique in. 26 days, with the intelligence of L o r d N E L S O N ' S passing the Streights, and is one of the largest and finest frigates of her class.

S h e was dispatched from Ferrol the day o f the arrival of the Combined Fleets, for intelligence.

A P a p e r of this morning asserts in very positive terms, that the British army destined to act on the Continent, in conjunction with the Austrian and Russian Forces, is tb con-sist of 50,000 effective men, under the fol-l o w i n g Commanders , &c .

Lieut . General His R o y a l Highness the D u k e of C U M B E R L A N D , Commander in Chief .

be second in command ; and M a j o r - G e n e r a l His Royal Highness ihe

Duke of C A M B R I D G E , to have the. com-mand of the Swedish A r m y , with the .Ger-man Auxi l iar ies to be thereunto attached.

W e will be surprised indeed to find that such an arrangement has taken p l a c e . — Courier.

Private accounts from Fiance state that the French and Spanish fleets are to co operate in the expedition against England ; and that a squadron o f five sail of ihe line and f o u r frigates, with several transports, are now ready for sea at T o u l o n , having 10,000 troops 011 board. T h is force is supposed to be destined to attack the Russians at Cor fu .

T h e r e is a letter in the French Papers, dated Madrid , w h i c h , if it be correct, shews that there has been, an action in the Mediterranean between the Spanish fleet from Carthagena, and a British squadron,

.probably the one commanded by Sir R i C,H,. B I C K E R T O N , in which the f o r m e r were defeated. It states, that infoimation having been received by signal that some English ships were on the coast, A d m . DON JXJAN M A R T I N E Z sailed with his fleet.from C a r -thagena to intercept them; but alter engaging them for some time, the fit e of the English was so incessant, that the Spanish Admiral found it expedient to haul his w i n d , and return to port with all possible expedition.

Y'esterday that gallant Officer, Sir S Y D -N E Y S M I T H , entertained the inhabitants residing at the w a t e r side with a new kind of nautical.exhibition. Some time since Sir S Y D N E Y constructed the model of a vessel intended to convey large bodies of troops, vvithout noise or conlusion, in shal low w a -ter,: under, the enemy's batteries. T h e first experiment took place yesterday morning about ten o 'c lock , W h e n Sir S Y D N E Y , a N a v a l .Lieutenant, and-six men, independ-ently of four others w h o were stationed at the oars, got on boa rd the vessei, pioceeded up to Chelsea, and from-thence sailed d o w n the R i v e r to Greenwich . T h e form of this raft resembles two wherr ies laid alongside, but separated by means of a platform 24 feet wide, and 22 feet, long, to which- the w h e r -ries w e r e attached. Eight sprit sails carry the vessel. T h e s e sails are so consti tu ted as to form, when necessary, a complete lent, under which the regulating officer and men are stationed. T h e w h o l e contrivance ap-pears, very ingenious, and the most sanguine expectations are formed o f its ukimate suc-cess. •

" VYe a n i v e d here last evening from o f f Boulogne', where every thing remained in' statu quo, except that about 30 of the ene-my ;s vessels, under D u t c h colours foi med a '

junction with the Boulogne flotilla on the 2 f s t from the eastward. Several neufrais whj::h. we have spoken corroborate each other in the report that,eight line of battle ships- are ready for sea in the Tex-e], and 400 trans-ports, with about 2009 cavalry already em'-' barked. A b o u t 20,0.00 troops are also ready near Amsterdam and its'vieiniiy, I really think a fleet, ere next month is e x -pired, will come up Channel to g ive us a little g lory , w h e n , probably , the craft in :

Boulogne may attempt an invasion: T h e r e are two or three difficulties,' h o w e v e r , that this attempt of theirs w":-li most evidently have to contend with, be-their auen.pt made when it may, to surmount. which is not, thank G o d , exactly at their command. In the first place, we h i v e ascetrained that, with all their invention and cunning, tlrey. cannot bring out more than 900 vessels from the three harbouis at Boulogne, at one tide, 300 fioni each ; and these only a t a spring tide. T h i s is not one-third-oi 'dieir number, and will lie open to the attack o f our squa dron from the moment the second division of their flotilla begins to move oti't. Sectnidiy — r h e tides aie'so vaiiotrs in, the ( hiitinei, setting such different ways, that it is inipos, sible they can keep together; and the at-tempt ol keeping together will be the de« st ruction of many t h e m ; add 40 this the i m -possibility of their landing on this sbote the same tide: T h e y must), therefore, in w a i t . " ing the opportunity of landing, without a superior naval force to protect them, run the risk of total desauction ere 'they reach the British shore . "

G I L L E S P I E , a native of Scotland, has completed the model of, a-moveable and im« pregnable Castle or Battery, impervious to shot or bombs, intended to guard the coasts of these kingdoms, provided with a cannon and carriage, calculated to-take a sure aiiji at any object that can be easily discerned from Within; whi le the enemy cannot disco-ver the cause of the annoyance. T h e in-vention now proposed will be found equally-serviceable in floating batteries. Its machi-nery is adapted 10 tui n the most pondeious mortars or guns with the gieatest ease, ac-coiding to the position of the enemy. It can be managed with five men only , w h o re-main in perfect safety in the interior part .-— It is so constructed, that it resists or turns o f f the most-destructive missiles used in : war , while the few men employed in this fortress are capable oi defeating the most -numerous and powerful enemy.

at from 82 Jo 92 degrees.

A spi 1 it of dissention and revolt we hear still continues to pervade several of the provinces in the vicinity of C a n t o n , and several ,skirmishes had taken place between the insurgents and the Imperial a r m y , with alternate success, and it was supposed it w o u l d require all the force and energy o f the Empire to restore tranquillity to the State. .

A , M o r n i n g Paper, asserts, that the mi l i -tary part of the expedition at the: IIelder is far from being at present of a formidable character. A , v e r y considerable mortality has prevailed ^raong the troops embarked in the ships of w a r , and transports, to arrest which it. lias, wi th in these f e w days, been, found necessary to land t h e m . — T h e number originall ly e m b a r k e d , and which was sup-posed to have completed the army destined to tire expedition from that port, amounted to no more than thirteen thousand infantry, and two thousand c a v a l r y . O f these no small proportion have been rendered unfit for ac-tive service, by the temporary inconvenience to w h i c h they h a v e been subjected during the short time they continued e m b a r k e d . — T o make up the deficiency, and render the

; expedition adequate to the purposes for which it w a s intended, troops must be drawn from other quarters, or time must be a l l o w -ed f o r t h e invalids to recover. T b e B a r a -vian troops, both military and n a v a l , to be engaged in it, h a v e manifested .their discon-tent in a general and decided-manner, which the .Commander in C h i e f has found it more convenient to connive at than repress.

F R O M T H E . C O U R I E R . . W h i l s t we were expecting to hear of the

Combined Fleets to. the Southward of Cape Finisterrej we w e r e surprized yesterday, w i t h -the intelligence of their having been stfcen to the N o r t h w a r d of. C a p e Ortegal . A f t e r h a v i n g stated yesterday that they had been seen in the evening of. the 14th, we communicated in a second -Edition the B u l -letin sent f r o i n the Admiral ty to L L O Y D ' S , alter our Paper was put to press, stating that o n the 14th, ihe Dragon saw a large fleet of the enemy in the N o r t h East qua iter, h a v -ing their heads to the novthwa-rd and west-ward: ; a, frigate, from w h i c h came near enough to the D, agorrlo make out what she was ; and after s p e a k i n g a Danish sh ip , and m a k i n g sevfcral signals, returned to her o w n fleet., w h i c h hauled its wind and was not in s ight next m o r n i n g . — N o w as the Dragon w a s on her passage to join the Channel fleet, arid as, hav ing: .been o f f Gape Ortega! on the 33th, she must be supposed to have been 10 the N o r t h W e s t w a r d of the C a p e on the 1 4 t h , it is clear that the.

B u t that w i l l not satisfactorily account for their being seen so far to the N o r t h East-Wa'rtfof Cape Finisterre as the Bay of Biscay. — - T h e Drdgwi stood - On h e r course nearly direct from Gape Ortegal , to the C h a n n e l fleet,- but the enemy w.ere not in sight on the m o r n i n g of the 15-tb

Supposing the enemy-hot to h a v e any in-tention of going to the Mediterranean, it is natural to conjecture either that they are gone to R o c h e f o i t or L ' O i i e n t , oi- that they intend attempting,a junction with the Brest F l e e t , and that the recent movements of the latter were meant to facilitate that j u n c t i o n . T h e Brest fleet came out: and ran down to Camaret .

calculated to facilitate a junction* B e i n g disappointed in their expectations of seeing the Ferro l fleet, and not dar ing to l isk an jetton with A d m i r a l C O R N W A L L I S , w i t h -out being ieinforced by that fleet, chey ran

It was reported yesterday in the city, that a neutral vessel had arrived' from H o l l a n d , with the intelligence that A ustria had alrea-dy declared war against France ; and that a number of French troops w h o . had been embarked in-tne Dutch ports, had, in conse-quence of t h e hpsitle aspect on the C o n t i -nent, been re-landed, and marched to rein-force-the army in H a n o v e r .

T h o u g h hostilities may be immediately expected, w e are not inclined to bel ieve that any Certain intelligence.of their h a v i n g com-menced, or of w a r h a v i n g been- declared,: has yet been received. It. may be that hosti-lities wi l l take place without any formal de-claration.

• was patron of the Free-Masons C h a r i t y , and of the N a v a l A s y l u m , and President of the L o n d o n H o s p i t a l . His Royal Higiiliess's marriage wi th the D o w a g e r Countess of W A L D . E G R A V E , occasioned the famous .Marriage A c t , which prevents any of the R o y a l Family from i n t e r m a n y i n g with a subject.

T l i e D u k e ' s constitution was naturally very del icate; so much s o , that at an eaily, period of l ife, he was compelled to leave his

-native country for the m i l d e r - a i r of Italy, and reside at R o m e for several y e a r s . — A l t h o u g h latterly, he was sufficiently reco-vered to b e a b l e to bear the climate of E n g -land, his health was a lways in a very preca-rious state, and he scarcely knew one.;day's real healthful enjoyment. T h e melancholy event of his dissolution took place a few minutes before eleven o ' c l o c k , after several hours of excruciat ing pain, w h i c h he bore •with .unexampled fortitude. .."His R o y a l Highness received the sacrament in ihe m o r n i n g , w h i c h was administered to him b y the R e v , l ) r .

It is impossible to describe the agonies and grief into which their Highnesses are plunged. H e was speechless for three hours before his death.

I l i s R o y a l Highness w i l l riot perhaps fill a large space in the page of history,-, but the moralist wi l l d w e l l with pleasure upon the

.many virtues w h i c h adorned his character. H i s temper was,,remarkably mild and placid: h e had great urbanity of manners, but his affability was happily blended with a dignity of deportment beeoming his birth and sta-tion. H e was benevolent without being os-tentat ious; he w a s an excel lent father, "an affectionate husband and brother, and a M o d master. I t w i l l for ever redound to

his honour that he never lent his name arid station to any political party, or faction, or intrigue. H e was as good a subject to his Majesty as he was a b r o t h e r — N e v e r during the w h o l e course of his l i fe, did he e m b a r -rass or, oppose the measures ol G o v e r n m e n t , and no moment of his Majesty's reign, has been disturbed by the D u k e of G L O U C E S -T.E R. T h e I raternal affection that subsisted between His M A J E S T Y and I-Jis R o y a l Highness was strong and uninterrupted, arid deeply , w e are sure, wi l l His.
