A general embargo is laid on all veflels in this port. London, October 3. Admiral Ntlfon’s acftion with the French fleet, we underhand, was as remarkable for Angle a els oi’ heroifin as for die general display of gallant ry. Capt. Darby, in the Bellerophon, of 74 guns, at tacked the L’Orient, of 12.0, fmgly, and burnt her; it was in the explosion of this fliip that he loft so many of his of ficers and men. Admiral Brueys and the Captor, es the L’Orient were both killed before she took fire. On board this Ihip was the whole of the treasure taken by the French at Malta, which was very considerable. Hie total loss pf the French in men is estimated at between 4 and 5000. ExiraM of a letter from an officer on board the Orion , dated Bequier Road , Augujl 9. Sir Horatio Nelson has sent an officer to India with , an account of die victory; Lieut. Duval of the Zealous is ; charged with his dispatches, and set off yesterday in a Turk ish boat, which was.to land him in Syria, 011 Jliis way to Aleppo. A veficl detained the day before, with dispatches and letters’ from Buonaparte's army at Grand Cairo, will make the Admiral’s dispatches still more interesting to our fetdements in India, as they all tend to represent the French army in the nioft diiaftrous situation, as w’ell from the severities they have undergone in their march across. * the sandy defarts as from the depredations of the Mama lukes and Arabs, and alio from being- deprived of wine and spirits, without which the French troops find it next to impossible to refill the exeeffive heat, or endure fatigue. It appears that Buonaparte meant to proceed to Suez, and demanded transports and craft to meet him on the Nile; but when he hears the defeat of the French fleet it will throw him into despair, particularly as the’ squadron Sir Horatio Nelson proposes to keep up here will effectually cut off for fome time all communication with Alexandria. The Guerrier being an old Ihip Sir Horatio Nelson-proposed to destroy it, and to fend the others to England under convoy of Sir James Saumarez, with those of our ftiips which had fuffered moll in the action; these are, the Orion, Bellerophon, Alexander, Majestic, Theseus, Goliah, and Defence;” ‘ m There were so many prisoners made that we understand Sir Horatio determined to put them alhore as soon as he had completed the deftrudion of the transports. The demonstrations of joy last night Were universal, and continued to a late hour. The Admiralty Office set the example of an illumination, which immediately became general, and which is expected to take place again this - night; m We rejoice to learn that Ministers are relblved to make our great naval superiority effectual to the renovation of our commerce in the Mediterranean,and the Levant: A compad is entered into with the King of Naples, by which the ports of Sicily are to be put into our polTeiliou, for the defence ol his dominions, and -for the purposes of our nav<d operations in those seas. Gen, Stewart is actually gone to take the command, and our troops lately in Portugal are on their way thither. A moft critical poll will be thus el-> tablifhed. Hie blockade of Malta will be formed and continued without danger to our ftiips, as they will feke shelter in the ports of Medina arid Syracuse, and hopes are even entertained that the island will fall into pur hands. Hie firft fruits of the late vidory maybe its surrender, and its poflelfion would greatly facilitate the recovery of the Levant trade. October 4. Accounts dated the 27th of August were received yesterday From Constantinople, that Nelson was off the island of Rhodes; he had ngt destroyed the French transports which were at Alexandria, but bad left fome of his squadron to prevent their getting away, and had sent to ‘ the Porte for bomb veflels, &c. to enable him to destroy them. Buonaparte had cut . off the heads of above 200 l urks for rejoicing at the vidory 4)vd” the French fleet. His troops were very fiddy. He had expressed his deter mination of marching into Syria, but it was thought be would be prevented from the want- of provisions, The Grand Siguior had removed his Vizir becauA he did ndl! tuuik him fufficiently fiollile to the French. The Members ol the French Mission have been all arrested and imprisoned. -A fubicription is opened at Lloyd’s Coffeehoufe for tlie famthes of the brave men who fell in the fleet uniei ! the command of Admiral Nelson. letters from Paris by the last Hamburgh mail state that anew revolution is preparing in the Luxemburg: Hie over throw of the Legislative Power, or the eflablifliment of* Directorial Defpotiftn at Rome, Milan, and Genoa, are but previous eflays to a defigu of tlie fame nature to be executed in France. Waterford,’ September 25; I n a former paper we mentioned a shocking murder having been committed on VV ilham Yielding, Esq. of Belleview, m the county ot Lunenck. We have now to state, with horror, it appears the murderer was John Yielding, youngest son to the de ceased, who after pcrjietrating the bloody deed had fled up tlie county of Kerry, where he was apprehended, and had been conveyed to Limerick by detachments of tlie yeomen cavalry of tlie said county, when, on Saturday fe’rmight, taking the opportunity of one of the guards leaving his loaded pUlol in the room lie was in at Talbert, he fliot him felf; the, wound however, though it may, has not yet prov ed mortal; he has made a full confelfion of his guilt before the Hon. and Rev.
