■t Hate iforagn Articles PLYMOUTH, April 30, Last, night arrived here the Dolly cutter, of 8 guns, lieutenant A. Watson, with the important intelligence of the French fleet, being at sea. It appears by the best account w,e can coilccl, that they failed from Brest on Friday last, confiftino; of 17 fail of the line besides finaller "veflels, and full of troops, which places it lieyond a doubt that Ireland is their intended defoliation. The Nymph, of 3S guns, capt. Frazer, was left by the Dclly reconnoitring the enemy, of whom Lord Bridport had received certain informa tion, and has a peifeft knowledge of their iituation and force • he has with him 16 fail of the line, 5 of which are threcrdeckers, and _ was, from the lateil accounts of him, not more than seven hours fail from the French fleet, ufinf;- his utmofl endeavours to cut them on frffm the land, and, in the event.of bring ing them to aclion, to prevent their return ing to Brest. I'he dispatches by the Doll)*, were for warded this morning to Londpn ; all is bus tle on board the men of war irv this harbour } and every {hip that can polTiMy put to fep, ■will fail this day.

Another is very generally circula ted, and focms to gain credit, which states, that the Dolly is immediately from Lord Brio port, and left him la A Sunday morning : the Nymphfrigate being then in fight both of the Knglifli and French fleets, and that his Lord (hip had so far efiedtdd his purpose, as to be betwec n the French and the land, and at the fame time to windward, with every profpeft of bringing them to adtion : so that hourly intelligence rnay be e'xpedled of femethirig decisive. The Fowey cutter, of 24 guns, Lieut. Darby,-is arrived here, and saw the French fleet oi} Friday last, at Anchor in Bertheause Bay, on which day they put to sea from thence. The-e are at this time upwards of one haiv. dred transports in the river ready for sea, some of which are fitted up for the accommo dation of cavalry. Their destination is at prcfent unknown. LORD NELSON. Lieutenant Duval, who arrived on Tues day at the Admiralty with difpatche* from Bombay and Constantinople, is the Gentle man who was dispatched overland to India by Lord Nelson with an account of the vic tory of the Nile. The following is the let ter from Admiral Nelson to the Governor of Bombay: Vanguard Jlloytb of the Nile, Aug. 5. " Sir, " Although I hope the Consuls who are, or ought to be resident in Egypt, have sent ycu ail express of the situation of affairi here, yet, as I know Mr. Baldwine has some months left Alexandria, it is polfible you may not be regularly informed ; I fliall therefore relate to you'briefly, that a French Army of 40,000 mep, in 300 transports with 15 fail of the line. 11 frigates, bomb-vefleh, gun. boats, &c. &c. arrived at Alexandria on the if! of July ; on the 7th they left it lor Cai ro, where they arrived on the 22d. During their march they had some adlions with the Mamelukes, which the French call great vic tories. As I have Buonaparte's difpatche's now before rr; , which I took yesterday, I lpeak pofitivcly : he fays, " I anj now go ing to fend off to take Suez and Damietta." He does not speak favourably of either coun try or people ; but there is such bombast in his letters that it is difficult to get at the truth, but you may be sure he is only master of what bis army covers. From all the en quiries which I have been able to make, I cannot learn that any French vessels are at. Suez to carry an.y part of his army to India. Bombay (if they cannot get there) I know is the firft objeft ; but I trust the Almigh ty God in Egypt will overthrow these pefls of tlje human race. It has been in my pow er to prevent 12,000 men trom leaving 6e noa,and altr> to take ti fail of the line and two frigates ; two fail of the line and two frigates have escaped me. This glorious battle was fought at. the Mouth of the Nile, at anchor: it began at sun-set, and was not finifhedattbree thenext morning : it has been severe, but God favoured our endeavours with a great viftory. lam now at anchor between Alexandria and Rofetta, to prevent their communication by water, and nothing imder a regiment can pass by lahd. But I ftrould have informed you, that the French have 4000 men pofteii at Rofetta, to keep o pen the mouth of the Nile. Alexandria, both town and (hipping, are so diftrefled for provifiens, that they can only get them from the Nile by water; therefore I cannot guess the good which may atteftd my-holding our pre sent position, for Buonaparte writes his diftrtflis tor ftoree, artiMerv, and things for *he hofpitst, he. All ufefu! communication at an end between Alexandria and Cairo : ou tr.ay be furc I thall remain here as long .is pov'ible. Buonaparte had never yet to route v.d with the EjiyliQl officer, and I fhsll sndavour to make him respect us. This is .til that I have to communicate ; I am con fident every precaution will be taken to pre vent in future any veflels g'oing to Suez which may be able to carry troops to India. If my letter is litjfle correct as itiight be ex-- • cfttd, I tiuß-your excuse, whe.i I tt-H yov my brain is so Ihook with the wound in my head, that I am sensible I am not always so clear as oould "be wished ; but whi lit a ray. ci reason remains, my heart and hand (hall ever be exerted for the. Benefit of our King and Country. I ha.ve the honour to be, &c. &c. (Signed) HORATIO NELSON." HAGUE, April 16. It was to day reported, that the Englilh had cut out of the Taxet three fliips richly la den ; but this requires confirmation. We' are afiured that our fleet in the Texel is de fined to form a junction with the Brest fleet and proceed with that upon an importance expedition.The embargo laid on (hips at Biufiels and Antwerp, in order to procure sailors, has been taken, off. April 2oi The measure proposed by the Diredtoiy and immediately agreed to as a matter of u.r gence \>y the iii ft foi- prefiiug the vessels belonging to private perfbiii iiuo the public service, having been (anftioited on the 16th by the fecund chamber, has confirmed the sentiments entertained here for several weeks part, that a naval expedition was again in agitation, in cojife-yB nee of our fleet be-' tng in a (late of reffiinefs to put to lea With a view, however, not to render the measure too detrimental to commerce, though no period ever occurred more suitable to an i expedition than the prefect, when all trade, is inactive by the blockade of all our ports, it I is not to be carried into efFedt until the lifts are made out, which the Dire&ory has ac tually ordered, for the purpose of afcertaip-' ing what (hips and yefiels are proper to be prefied without injuring our corfimerce, and what will fuffer least by being put in reqifi-' fition. After the example which was follow ed two years ago when our squadron was to proceed on an exp clition, the vtfiils that may be prefled are to be employed in convey ing every necflrry article to the fleet before it fails, as well as to attend it on the expe dition, and perhaps also to transport troops. The other measure refpedting the organi zation of the National Guard, which appears deftinedto replace, for the defence of the in terior the troops going out with the expedi tion, or dispatched to join tfie French armies in Germany, is to be taken into considera tion on Monday next by the firft chamber, where the third reading of the report on that fubfedt will take place. Although it is didtated by the preflure of cirrumftances, it will, it is expected, meet with a vigorous op position, as it tends to eftabii/h a kind of military requisition or conscription, by which we may be forced to take up arms and march. According to the pfan proposed, the Nation al Guard is to of 40,000 men, which is double the number of our regular troops and the age of enrolment is from tS to 35 years, while theclaffes are to be ranked ;ic according to age, to marriage, and toemploy. ff>ent in the service of the state."* BANKS of the NIiGKAR, April 15.

We have here a war concluded by the peasantry of the country. All are under arms, and the whole of the Obenwalde has risen in a mass. The head-quarters of. this "iftic army are here. They have their ad vanced ports in form, and their piquets of ca valry, and they are encamped from, Eberftadt to Wein'neim. The whole amount to not lets than 20,000, armed with all kinds of weapons, just as they left their houses and farms yards. They are exasperated against the French, and determined uo longer to fuU mit tamely to their oppressions. HAMBURGH, April 23 . The following is a iketch of.the.

Fiefh troops are' continually arriving at Mayence and Manheim, and o thers are daily paffiirg through here towards Helvetia.
