We underfland that minifters
j,„ ve received the refignation of
admiral lord St. Vincent's. The
continuance of the indifpofition
which forced him Tome weeks
ngo to quit the command of the
fleet, and repair to Gibraltar,
has induced the gallant veteran
to retire from the Ration which
he has filled with fo much glory
to himfelf and to the Rritifh
name. He will ever be revered
as one of the mod diflinguifhed
naval commanders of England,
ard his achievements will iorg
be lemembered with gratiiude
and admhatkn. l ord Keith
now takes the chief command
of (he Mediterranean fleet, after
lord St. Vincent's, it could not
oafs into abler hands.

fail of the line off Cartbagena,
on the 22d ult. and of their
having failed again on the 24th,
with a view of repairing the

Intelligence of the enemy's
movements had been difpatched
