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.

The enemy's fleets were leen from Gibraltar on the 6th inftant, at tempting to beat through the Gut; but from the (late of the winds, it is not expedled they cr)uld accomplifh this objedl fooner than the 121 b.
