WAX. WITH SPAIN.
Our Portfraouth letters state the arrival
there ol a Spanilh frigate with the Engliih
colours over those of Spain. They do not
ihte the occasion of this detention ; bet just
as our paper was going to press, we receiv
ed the following particulars :
“ On the stii inst. off St. Mary’s, a
fq'izdron of his Majcfty’s frigates, confining
ot the Indefatigable, Medusa, Lively, and
Amphion, fell in with four Spanilh frigates,
from Rio dc ia Plata, bound to Cadiz, un
der the comma t*l of a rear admiral, and ha
ving a large quantity of treasure on board.
The orders which Capt. Graham Moore,
the senior officer, was under, to detain ail
Spanilh veffds of this defeription, being re
filled, an ad ion ensued, in the event of
which, three of the Spanilh frigates surren
dered to his Majelly’s frigates, and the 4th
blew up, after firing one broidfide.
** Captain Hammond, of the Lively, is ar
\ rived at Pcrtfrnouih with La, Kama; and
teript. Moore with La Medea and La Cia’a
are hourly expeded. The four Britilh fri
gates were dispatched on this fervicc from
the fleet under the command of the gallant
Admiral Cornwallis, with sealed orders.”
This morning, at two o’clock, captain
E. G. Hammond, of the Lively frigate,
arrived express (in a poft-chatfe and four)
at the Admiralty, with difpstches from
Portsmouth, containing the above particu
lars.
The French fleet in the outer road of
Bred, confiding of 21 fail of the line and 5
frigates of 40 guns each ; and, according to
a lettter from an Engiilh ,officer, (leccived
in Loudon) appeared “ ii|l ready fora dart.”
NEW.YORK, December 5.
Jnterjhng information from our Squadron off
Tripoli.
On Saturday last, arrived et Philadelphia,
the brig Commodore Barry capt. Mead,
from the Mediterranean. Capt. Mean left
Mdraon the 2;th of August, far Marzeala,
in Sicily, to take in his cargo of wine ;
while there he received an advice boat from
our Consul at M ilta, containing dispatches
and letters from I’npoii for our executive.
The following letters were received by the
Commodore Barry ,;

retire with the loss of one man killed and three
severely wounded ; —the loss of the enemy
wasconliderablc—we have been informed by
a Maltese captain, (whom the Commodore
feat into Tripoli with cloathing, Sic. for
the prisoners)that they had one handled and
fifty killed and wounded.
“ The Tripolitans are much diftrefled at

“ The feene of combat commenced on the
3-1 lull, when the weather became fovorable
for oar operations; accordingly, at 2 o’
clock, P. M. the lignai was given to prepare
J for battle. At 3 o’clock we got within gun

jr boats and bomb ketclres. They advanced in
I a hnc ahead, led on by Capt Steph. Deca

brigs and fehooners. The enemy had 17
gun boats moored in a line in front of the
batteries, brig of id, and a fehootter of
10 guns, to aid and cover their boats.
“ Ihe moments were janxtous as we ad

which was heavy and incctfant: yet our
brave fellows advanced with ail poffibie in

were fafely brought off. The attack contin

“ The Turks were driven our effort Fran,

fire info the town as well as inro their bat

so little damage, was on account of its be

taken arc excellent-— two ot them carry a

The platforms of their hatttcries were torn

and the next day Ihe returned with a letter
from the French Consul, bearing marks of
a pacific disposition. The Commodurc
however, determined to attack them again

in two lines, and attack the batteries. The ’

“ At 1 o’clock p. m. the quarter-deck of
