PORTSMOUTH, Oa. 19.
A cutter is just arrived from St. Marcou,
being the third which withn a few davs
have come here with difpatchcs ; fram
which, and a combination of other circum
stances.we are flronglyof ODi'nion.that the ill
fuccefsof tluir former rifit has not deerred
the French from again, and immediately, at
tacking those Islands. It appears that in
the Bth and ioth inft. fix more powerful gun
vessels, and a fchponer, west from Cherbourg
to La Hogue, from whence they occafiorial
ly pass to Ifi?ny river, apparently full of
troops. A French geritieman came here
from Normandy with it asserted, accounts
of encreafed, or organized difaffcftion a
gainst the Diredtory, and other intelligence
ef much importance. I learn that the Beau
iieu, of 40 guns, Capt Fayrman, has recei
ved orders to prepare to immediately pro
ceed for the Weft Indies. Sir Sidney
Smith is arrived from London, in, I am con
cerned to hear, but indifferent health. He,
however, soon as the wind permits, fails sot
the Mediterranian, to add to his diflineuifh
ed reputation, and the already unparalleled
glory of his country.
PLYMOUTH, Oaober 22.
Arrived the frigate of 4.8-gu»s,
commanded by Thomasßvam Martin, with
the Immortalice French frigate of 42 guns,
having a commodore's broad pendant, which
she captured on Saturday the 20th instant,
a few leagues from Ulhant, aftc- a defpe
rate a&ion of 2 hours and an half, in which
the former had about 40 killed and wound
ed, and the latter 153. The Immortalite
carries 34 four pounders on htr mn'n deck,
and four 44 pound carronades on her quart
er ; the others 12 and 9 poundera, her
complement, of men was originally 300
flic is very much cut in her hull, Her mizen
mast h carried by the board, and her fore
and main-masts fevertly wounded—(he
i§ an exceeding fine frigate, four years
old and fails remarkably faft. She is one
of tas three frigates which appeared in Do
negal bay, on the coast of Ireland some
days fince—3oo troops were embarked in
her from France, has 7000 stand of arm*
and a large quantity of horse equipage on
> bo:ird. The ift and 2d captains, ans) the
general commanding the troops, with seve
ral of the latter were killed in the a&ion.
When met with by the Fifhguard, she was
on her return to France withoutlanding any
of the troops, having received intelligence
of the difafbons fate of the army under
Gen. Humbert, whieh induced them to re
linquilh the favorite projedt ,of invasion.
An Irish revenue boat went along fide, con
ceiving (he was an English (hip from having
falfe colours, the crew of which were de
tained as prifonera, and obliged to a£t as
pilots. About 50 Iri(h gentlemen went en
board her whtltt she continued on the coast,
seven of whom are said to be in rrom on
board the Fifhguard , who, from the friend
intercourfe that appeared to subsist between

country.
Previous to falling in with the Fifhguard,
(he was said to have engaged and beat off
an English frigate of fuperror force ! but ,
this, as it is bare assertion of their own, ,
needs confirmation.
The linmortalite was one of the squad
ron which failed from Brest, confiding of
one ship of the line and 8 frigates ; they ,
proceeded a great way to the weflward, and ;
then tacked .awl flood for Ireland, but L' ,
Immortalite and another frigate, separated ]
in a gale before they reached the place of del" a
tination. She brings intelligence that her c
consort has alf'o been taken by an English t
frigate, but knows nothing of the general c
aftion that has taken place near Tory island.
P. S. General Monge, second in com
niandj and also the French captain, were
bbth killed at the fame moment, near the
.wheel by a cannot (hot.
The French officers express their doubts ' 3
of their being able to succeed in an expedi- '
' w tion against Ireland, aud feejn to think that c
further attempts on that country, are like- 11
ly to. prdve as fruitlefs as the preceding ones. a
The French f'oldiers appear to be picked men, ''
being inoftiv stout fejlbws, drefTed in green j!
Huflar uniforms, flowered with pink, hav- 1
inga standard on board of a green ground, *
with a harp tompofed of yellow bunting in
the middle, which was displayed when they 1*
came on the Irish coast, as afignal to their
friends on fliore.
The ships of war which arrived here yes- "
(fcrday from the channel fleet, are the Queen
Charlotte of 110 gtins, Formidable, and At
las, of 98 guns each, under the command
of Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Thompson.
The.Shannon frigate of 32 guns, captain °
A. Frafer, in coming into the harbor this
morning, ran ashore at the entrance of the
harbor of Hamoaze, but was got off with-
out material injury.
LONDON", Nov. 1. g
It is with much pleasure we have to add 1
another naval capture to the numerous cata- j
1 igue which nur brave herpes have of late af
forded us an opportunity of presenting to 11
our rcnier?. Advice was yesterday rec ived t!
of the capture of a Dutch frigate with 200 C
troops cn board, by his majefly's ship Si ius, it
oi 36 Rirrs, captain King, belonging to ad- t
rnha! o«flow's squadron. Ihe Sirius fell in ?.
with the raptured ship to the northward of h
tlie Tsxt 1 : On coming up with her, she 1
(IruGk without firing a shot. Captain King tl
no looser *took possession of her, than he tl
went in pnrfuit of another veffcl of the fame
description, vyith every probability of feeing r
aLL to come up with lier. It is conjectured ti
that they were both going the northern T\
voyage to Ireland, tinder the idea t|iat the f«
Brefl fqtiadron had effected a debarcatim of o
its troops in that country. This pleasing in- n
telligence wis brought to Yarmouth by one d

vith the views of the French government ; j C
its ambassadors had conferences about it with
the direaory, and the Porte did confer with £
Citizen Rtiffin in Constantinople. The ob

that the minifltr Talleyrand had told }}m
that Buonaparte was to take Mr.lta, which
wtJuldprove an agreeable occurrence to eve
