Sin —Yesterday mourn . a bout 1 o’clock, i bad ‘.he lor teut of/siting in uhh a squad lt nif the men y, standing to the westward ; the tqiuuiion under n.y irdeis being tiiin on the larboard tack, snatching in for LhallVron Light-House, six or •cvnrlrstguesfrom ns the, Pc* tenge to windward. and :h.n pixh to leeward, on the look out ; (he latter ship first making the signal for an tnonv, when I soon di-covered se'*n sail to leeward of me ; and considering thi ni, in part, line of battle ship*, the sig nal was made to form the line, and shortly after 1 observed them bearing up, making all sail, and running to the S. S. \V. ihe signal was instantly made for a. general chase,and the Monarch, i fii m’her position and good sail ing, was enabled to keep nearly within gun-shot, a mile and a half or little more, ahead of the Centaur, and the Mars on the staiboard bow. At day light we ■enaiTe them out five large French frigates, and two corvettes, one of which bearing a broad pen dant; at five the Monarch fired a few chase shot; and at six the weathei most frigate hauled more to the westward, in pursuit of which I dispatched the Mars; and 1 frigate with the 2 corvet tes, edged away to south east ; the remaining three frigates keeping in close order, indicat ing the intention of supporting taeh other. At a quarter past 10, the monarch opened her star hoard guns on the enemy, when a heavy cannonading commenc ed, and by the enemy’s manage ment of a running fight, thev suc ceeded, in some measure, in ci ip p'iug the Monarch's sailsar.d rig ging, before the Centaur could get up. j\ t eleven, we got with ’n fair range of two, and opened our fire Rom the larboard guns, whilst tlie Monarch kept engag ing the third ship, and about noon one of die two frigates struck, as did the one opposed to the Monarch shortly after. It was jult before this I re ceived a (evere wound in my tight arm, (since amputated, and doing well I hope,) which obliged me to leave the deck ; the Mars previous to this, had (iicceedcd in capturing her chafe, and with her prize haul ed towards the Centaur, in chafe of, and filing at the French Commodote’s ship, and at three allisted in captur ing her. —Thole (hips of the enemy made an obitinatc re finance, but the -refitlt was, as may wcli he fuppoled, attend ed with much (laughter, be ing crowded with troops out of Rochefort the evening before. 1 cannot add too much praifeto Captain Lee, of the Monarch, for his gallant and officer like conduft, but I am (orry to find his loss has been, rather fevere,thc (.well of thefea preventing, at times, the open ing of the lower deck ports. To captain Lukin, of the Mars, I fee! thankful, for his Ready condutl and attention ; and have u:io to express my latiffatlion at the endeavors of Captains Boyles, King, Sir John Gore, and Mafeheld, in getting up with the enemy, although they could not Juc ceed. t The Revenge, from be ing well to* windward. became tonfidyfably a Rem after bear ing up, • To I ii-iitenant Case, firtt of the Centaur, I have to add my approbation of his judicious conduct before and after my leavitm the dak, and I also feel much pleased at the Heady exertions of all my efficcis, featnen, and marines.

I The Monneur cots riot give any detailed account of the communications which were made yeflevday in the Conservative Senate ; it is be lieved, however, that Ins” Im perial Majdiy informed the Senate of an intended marriage ‘between his Imperial Fhgbnds Prince Jerome, and a Prin ccls Rot a! of Vrirtembtrg. It is added, that in confie quence o( his Majclly’s ir.es* (age containing tins commu*- nication, two letters from the Emperor were vead, one to the Prince Primate of the Confederation of the Rhine, and the other to th* King of Bavaria, announcing to him, that iti (pile of fame court in ti igues the Emperor Rill hop ed to preserve peace with PrufTta; but in case ihat pow er could not give a prompt and categorical answer to the de mard for explanation which had been made, his Majeßy was ready to enter into Ger many at the head of three hun dred thou land men. The Conservative Senate hold an other fitting this day. LONDON, Sept. 30. We have received French and Duch papers to the 26th inR. confirming the inteilr ger.ee of the departure of Bo* xAfAHTK and Talleyrand from Paris; and communicat ing vatious other important particulars. The Moniteur slates the de parture of Bonaparte, in the following brief paragraph : “ Paris Sept- 26. “ Their Imperial and Roy al Majeßiesfet out ftoin St. Cloud, in the night between Wednelday and Thursday. The Emperor, it is fuppoled, proceeds tow aids Mayence.*’ ■lt was underltood at Paris, that Talleyrand left that city on Friday, to follow his mas ter ; at lead it was not doubted that he would soon join him, and it is equally certain that Bonaparte is gone to put him felfatthe head of the army. From the whole tenor of the intelligence contained by these papers, war between France & Prulfia appears inevitable. It is impossible to contemplate the approaching druggie, with out the liveliest apprehension. The French troops in Germa ny, probably amount to 120,000 men, confiding of eight (eparate corps, amount ing to about 15,000 each. Tnis army may be hi ought to bear upon Pruflia, before the latter cat) receive any aid from Russia. The Pi ullian troops, however, on the frontiers of Saxony, where the fir it blow would probably be struck, are edimated at 100,000 men, and the Hcffian and Saxon auxili aries at 50,000 men. The Moniteur contains articles from Caffel of the 13th, and Drelden of the 1 accufing Piuflia of an attempt to usurp over Htlfe and Saxony, a so vereignty more overbearing than was ever claimed orex ercifed by the emperor of Ger many, as head of the Ger manic Body. The Paiis edi tors, perhaps, expett that the intrigues ofßonapatte will be able to eietaeh these powers from Prulfian, as Bavaria was, in the late war, detached from Audria,but there is no danger of any luch defection. ThePius lian troops have, in fact taken posfeliion of saxony. T hole of the Saxon army, on foot, has'joined them. r J j P jr. fian trooj f, to the numlrr 25,C(ni tv.en, la\c joined the Ptcfiisrts.

Butnot knowing tlieac tnal (late of the negociaiio# what arrangement mav have been made with the FlenA Commidiotiers who cotrtfj onj direfily with the Ihat I of [ au , derdale, or the extent of tR, powers, we are not competent to lay how far his Lcidlhip owes it to his own dignity tj leave Paris. If his dignity were comproiniied by the delay, n would, -no doubt, be evidence that his Ray was not volun tary ; but, on the other hand it may have been thought con duciveto our intereßs, to pro. tratt the negociation until tht policy of Prulfia had taken 4 decilive turn. The Hamburgh mail due on Sunday, ailived this mornini with letters and papers to ihc 24 ult. Ftancc and PruOii appear to have exhausted net gociation, and their differcc. ces will now be decided bvthe (word. The Courier so long expefied at Berlin, with the answer of the French govern, merit to the propolitions with which Mr. Knobelsdorf was sent to Paris, returned to Ber lin on the 17th. It appears that Bonaparte has demands the ceflion of the whole oi Westphalia, as well as the country of Marck. it was th# extravagant demand which ex. torted Rom the King of P;uft the declaration lo often rt peatedinthe German papers, that he would not content to any more ce(fions. It is evi dent that Bonaparte would not recede, and that the answer transmitted by Knobeli'dori has been unfavourable. Im mediately after the arrival oi the courier at Berlin, ail was warlike buttle and adivity i# that city. Lieut. Col. Krule m2rk set out immediately lot St. Peterfburgh. The guard!
