Pedrick, of the brig Fox, ar rived at Marblehead on Sunday lalt, from Lisbon. He failed in company with Capt. Myrick, of Boston, who brings the important intelligence of the capture of admiral Jarvis's fleet, cNc. Pi e have sent two gentlemen of veracity from Marblehead, who conversed with Capt. Pedrick, and made tire usual in quiries for rews on an arrival, and he did not e ven mention the important re port brought by Capt. Myrick. He was not aiked particularly the question relative to the capture of Jarvis's fleet, because at the time, the report was not iu circulation—but it is certainly very Angular that Capt. Pedrick heard no tii og oi the important intelligence, or if he did, and made no mention 01 it. vVe mult wait patiently, for the ar rival of the Hoop at Bolton, which was to fail the next day after Capt. My rick, for a confirmation or contradic tion of this highly important report. BOSTON, N ox:ember 22. Probable Consequences of the Capture of the British Fleet, with form remarks. The intelligence brought from Lis bon if authenticn'of which there seems little room for doubt) is the greatest blow ever given to the Britilh navy.

At the lowed calcu lation theft- funs of war and transports required rO,OOO seamen to navigate them, arid if they had on board, as we are told, the troops withdrawn from Gorflca, they could not have amounted to ids than fix or seven thousand men ; here is a fleet and army loll—now let us look at the consequences—England has loll: the commerce of the Mediterranean, consequently all her influence there Gibraltar (to reinforce which this fleet was deftir.ed) is left unprepared fora liege—-her funds mu ft feel a depreflion that will render a bankruptcy almost in evitable, her naval reputation will be funk in the estimation, and by a junc tion of the French, Spanish, and Dutch fleet ; her Channel fleet will be out-num bered. The alarm spread over England by an event unparalleled in the annals of ‘naval affairs, will terrify the moft intrepid administration, the whole plan of the minuter will be deranged, in fad the consequences are incalculable.
