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.

The following letters were received by the Commodore Barry ,; ** 'Syren, off Tr ipoli, Auguji 1. 1804. **oollls liveemh ult. we attempted to bring off with our boats under the command of Lifu : cnant CaldwiJl and Mr. Dorsey, a fma.'l.vefftl, but did not succeed, for the col lection, of troops brought down for her de fence was so numerous, that my boats had to 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 prsfent—their craps have failed, and the vi. g«l ince ot the blockading fq-iadron has pre vented their getting fuppiies from abroad. They have been fortifying themselves at eve ry point, have removed every thing valua ble from the town, and have made and are (fill miking great exertions for its defence’” From the fame to the fame, dated Syren, off Tripoli, Auguji g. “ 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 | shot of the batteries, and cast off the gun jr boats and bomb ketclres. They advanced in I a hnc ahead, led on by Capt Steph. Deca ls tur, and covered try the Conftiturion, and the 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 vanccd---a difeharge of lb ells from the bomb | boats induced the enemy to open their fire, which was heavy and incctfant: yet our brave fellows advanced with ail poffibie in itrepidity through a (hower of grape fhor. Y/hen our gun boats gut within 20 yards of the enemy, they difeharged their great guns traded with 40 pounds of mulketb lls, w hich was iminediatfv fallowed by a voiley of inuf. ketry. 'This obliged q of the gun boats, composing the enemy's right wing, to cut their cables and retreat; em boats then bore up for those to leeward-. Capt.

Decatur continued down I their line and carried the :hird--all of which were fafely brought off. The attack contin ued anthour and a half. “ The Turks were driven our effort Fran, cais, and mull have fuffered much from our fire info the town as well as inro their bat teries. Thefcafon of the enemies fire doing so little damage, was on account of its be ing so badly duefted. The three gun beats taken arc excellent-— two ot them carry a 26 pounder each, of brass, and the third, an 18 pounder. Lieut.

French priva'eer, finding her birth too warm in the harbour, cams out, by her wo.learned, that the enemy had* one boat funk—another 101 l two thirds of, crew ; and all the red very much lhattered ; —tfbey also informed us, that the enemy was employed all night repairing their damages. The platforms of their hatttcries were torn up, and our unfortunate countrymen were employe uto repair them. The Commodore fenc the privateer back with the wounded, 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 the jiext day to the wellwaid ... “ Accordingly on the seventh at eight clock, a, m. the signal was made to advance in two lines, and attack the batteries. The ’ morning was calm and w'arm, which preven ted our getting in before 12 o’clock, when the enemy'opened their fire from their bat. teiies, and, in their confufion, fired at lead fifty guns without ball. The bomb boats got their pofitionat half pad twelve and an chored : their politico was within point black range, and in a little time, they dismount ed tw'o guns in the wedern battery and drove out the enemy ; a (hell was thrown into bat. tery Francais, which hard and filcnccd their fire for nearly half an hour. “ At 1 o’clock p. m. the quarter-deck of Gun-Boat No. g blew up, by which event we have to lament the loss of Lieut. James Caldwell, commander, and Mr. Dorsey, two promising young officers, and eight of her crew. Wc lay about 200 yards from her when (he went down, and my boats were iimmedi ately sent to pick up those who (urvived. *; This caused a small ccflatien of our tire, but it was only momentary; it was renewed with redoubled vigour, which seemed to fay We 'will avenge our brave companions.

The Bas. haw, in his communication, has offered peace and the redoration of the prisoners to us for 150,000 dollars. One hundred thouffind dollars, I believe, have been offered, but the Baihaw has declared tie will differ him. fdf tobe buried in the rnins ofhisCaflle, or drove in the country, rather than take Icfs than 150,000 dollars ; therefore, we are prc. paring forano her attack this day—the wea ther is favorable."
