Centiur, at Sea, 26th Sept. 1806;
Sin—Yesterday morning, about otic
o clock, I had the good fortune of falling
in with a squadron ot the enemy, stuml
ing to the westward ;the squadron under
my orders being then on the iarbord tack,
.-'• cu lling in tor Cliatteron Light-house,
six or seven leagues from us, the Re
venge to windward and the Monarch to
1 leeward, on the look out; the latter ship
fust making the signal tor an enemy,
when 1 soon discovered seven sail to lee
ward of in; and considering them, in
pail, line of battle ships, the signal was
made to form die line, anti shortly a her
1 observed them bcaringnip, making ail
sail, and running S. h. \V. The signal
was instantly made for a general ctusc,
and the Monarch, from her position and
good sailing, was enabled to keep within
gun-shot, a mile and a half, or liute more
ancad of the Centaur, and the Mars on
sta board bow. At day light we made
them out five large French frigates, and
two corvettes, one of which bearing a
broad pendant; at tire the Monarch fired
a few chase shots ; and at six the weath
ermost frigate hauled more to the west
ward. in pursuit of which 1 dispatched
the Mars; and one frigate with the two
corvettes, edged away to the south-east ;
the remaining three frigates keeping in
close order, indicating the intention of
supporting each other. At a quarter
past 10 die Monarch opened her star
board gun on the enemy, when a heavy
cannonading commenced, and by the
enemy's management of a running fight,
they succeeded in some measure, in
crippling the Monarch's sails and rig
;Vuig before the Centaur could gt t up.
Vi eleven, we got in f.ur range with two
and opened our lire from the larboard
guns, whilst the Monarch kept engaging
tnc third ship, and about noon one of the.
two frigates struck, as did the one op
posetl to the Monarch shortly after.
It was just before this 1 received a se

LONDON, September 30.
We have received French and Dutch
paper.-, to the 26th inst. confirming tfic
intelligence of the departure of Bona
i'Ahte and Tai.lf.yhani> from Paris ;
and communicating various other im
portant partic: a: s.
1 he Monitcur states the departure of
Bonava RTE, in the following brief pa
ragraph ;
“ PAt! is, September 26.
“ Their Imperial and Royal Majes
ties set. out from St. Cloud, i-i the night
between (\ ednesday and Thursdav.
I'he Emperor, it is supposed, proceeds
towards Mavencc.”
It was understood at Paris,that Tai.-
leviiand left I hat city on Frid-.y, to fol
low liis master ; at least it was not
doubted that he would soon join him,
and it is equally certain that Bonaparte
K gone to put himself at the head of the
army. From the whole tenor of the in
telligence contained by these papers,
**ai‘ between France and Prussia appears
incvitalil \ it is impossible to contem
plate the approaching struggle, without
the livcli >st appro he nsi n. The l'u; h
troops in Gormanv, probably amount to
J2:j,000 men, consisting ol tight aepa-
Rate corps, amounting to about 15,000
J each. ‘1 his army may be brought to
] hear upon Prussia, before, the latter can
j receive any aid from Russia. The
■ Prussian troops, however, on the fvbn
j tiers ol Saxon v, where the first blow
J would probably be struck, are estimated
jat 100,000 men, and the Hessi.m and
I Saxon auxiliaries at 50.000 men. The
j Mooiteur contains articles from Casscl
die Idtli, and Uiesden of the 11th,
I accusing Prussia Os an attempt to usurp
| over Hesse and Saxony, a sovereignly
i more, overbearing than was ever claim*
j eder exercised by the Emperor ol Ger
; many, as head of the Germanic Rode.
1 he Paris editors, per!taps, expect that
: the intrigues of Bonaparte will be able
to detach these powers from Pmris, as
bavaria was, in the late war, detached
from Austria, but there is no danger of
r,ny such defection. The Prussian troops
Ivavc, in fact, taken possession of Sv.xg
: ny. jhr whole of ihe Saxon at i. , , o:i
foot, has joined them. The Hessian
troops, to the number of 25,000 men,
have likewise joined the Prussians;
