SIR—In mv letter of the 221, i de railed to you-, for the information cf my Lords oommiffioners of the Admiralty, the proceedings of his majesty’s squadron on the day of the aftion, and that prece ding it—since which I have had a conti nuedffriese r ies of misfortunes, but they are of a kind that human prudence could not poflibly provide againl, or my skill pie vent. On the 2 2'j in the morning, a strong fotuhtvly wind blew, with fqualy weather, which however did not prevent the afti vity of the officers and Lateen of fucti fliipsas were manageable fiorn getting h*<ld of many of the prizes (thirteen or fourteen) nnd towing them oil to ti.e weflward, when I ordered them to ren dezvous round the Royal Sovereign, in tow of the Ni-p*unt ; but on the 23d, tire gale increaftd, and the sea ran so high, that of them broke the tow-ropes, and drifted fnr to leeward, betore they’ w ere got hold oi again, and fome of them taking advantage iu the dark and boifle rous night, £ot berore the wind, and Im-e perhaps dritted upon the fliore and funk ; on the afternoon of that day the remnant of the combined fleet, ten fail of ships, who had not been much engaged, fljod up to leeward of my (battered and ilran gied charge, as if meaning to a! tack them, which obliged me to collect a force out of the kail injured ships and form to leeward tor their defence ; all this retard ed the progress of the hulks, and the bad weather continuing, determined me to destroy all the leevrard rr.ofl that could be e’eared of the men, cordiderirg the keeping pofklfion of the ships was a met ier of little conftqnence, compared with tiie chance of their falling into the hands oi” the eherny ; but even this was an ar duous task, in the high lea which was running. I hope, however, it Li been accorr.plifhed to a considerable extent ; f enirufled it to skillfull “officers, who would fpere no pains to execute what was poflibie. Tiie captains of the Prince and Neptune, cleared the Triuadsd and iunk her. Captains Hope, B-ynton and Zvlal— colm, who joined the ft ret this moment from Gibraltar, had the charge of de ft roying four others. The Redoubtable - funk astern of the S wiftanre, while in low. The Santa Anna, 1 have no doubt, lias iunk, as her fide was ahnofi intireiy beat en in ; and such is the (battered condi tion of the whole of them, that ualefe the weather moderates, I doubt whether I | fltr.ll be able to carry a ft p of them ipto ! port. 1 hope their lordlhips will approve I of what 1 ( having only in confideratioii I the deftruftion of the enemy’s fleet) have 1 tiinu; ht a nicafure of absolute nectifi.y. | I have taken Admiral Viileneuve into I this fliip ; Vice Admiral Don Aiiva is ! dead. Whenever the temper of th e wea ther wiil permit, and I esn spare a irigatc (for there were *nly four in the action with the fleet, Euryalus, Sirius, Phoebe and Naiad ; the Melpomene j fined the 2sd, and the Eurvdice and Scout the 23d), I (hail Collett the other flag offi cers with their flags, and fend them to England, if they do not all go to the bottom to be laid l at his Majcfty’s feet. There were four thosiand troops em barked under the command of General Contamin, who was taken with Admiral Viiiencuve in the Bucentaure. I am Sir, &c. (Signed) C. COLLINGWOOD. Admiral Collingwood is appointed commander in the Mediterranean, with the iair.e powers lord Nelson had. Seve ral fltipshave failed to reinforce that fleet. The junction of the Prussians with the Ruffians, is fully confirmed by the Dutch Journal of the 4th inti. We have also received Par's papers to the 3 ill ult. The intelligence from Beilin is of the moll important nature. The political fyltem of the Pruflian cabinet had under gone a complete change in the course of the latl month. Initead of placing her innnenfc arn&ies upon the war ellablifii nicnt merely to relift the paflage or a foreign fqrce through her territories, and maintain her neutrality, Pruflia has con certed full liberty of transmit to Rtifiia forces, and is marching her armies to Franconia, to the banks of the Rhine, ami to toe borders of the Batavian repub lic. Three armies amounting in the whole to ijo.cco men, are actually on their march for the different points we have cent iousd. A fourth army, ofim mtnfe force, is affimbling at Branden burg, to fupportthe three firft ; 24,000 Sauor, and 20,000 fltffiaß3, are to be united to the armies on their inarch to Franconia and Wcliphalia.

CHARLESTON, January 1. By London dates to the yth Nov. we learn—- A treaty of afiisnee, between I’rufiia r.nd England, had arrived in England. The Pruiftan army, of 80,000 men, was marching again ft the French ; the em peror of Rufiia was marching aifo at the head of 60,000 men, and the emperor of Germany was Hated to be at the head of another army. Bemadotle, on the 19‘h of Cttober, was between Munich and the Inn, the Auflrians were on the opposite fide ot the river; the emperor of France would join him with liis whole army, on the j 25th or 28ih, when further operations j again!! the Ruffians and Auflrians would commence. > The army of Italy under Meilena, Dsfi.d the Adige, cn the 18th Ottober, 1 after an attion, in which the Auflrians had iroo killed, and as many taken prisoners.

The fame paper slates, that they have at length official details from Italy'; they mention fome important advantages gain ed over the archduke Charles by Mafic - na ; it adds, that if the Freoch details are correct, a more decisive and brilliant campaign than the one in Germany,'‘is not to be found in the annals of history We tremble, fays the editor, for the final refuk, but mult in the mean time fafh ion our minds to hear of new fuccefles on tne part of the enemy.
