His Majesty's ship Hibernia, 22 leagues west of the Tagus Dec. 1, 1807.1 SIR, In another dispatch of this day's date, I have transmitted a list of the Portuguese fleet that came out of the Tagus on the 29th ultimo, which I received that day from the admi. ral commanding it, when I went on. board the Principe Reale to pay my visit of respect and congratulation to his royal highness the prince of Brazil, who was embarked in that ship. I here cnclose the list of those left behind. The absence of but one of the four ships is regretted by the Portuguese (the Vasco de Gama), she being under repair; VOL. XLIX. her guns have been employed to arm the Freitas, 64, a new ship, and one of those which came out with the prince. The other three are mere hulks; and there is also one ship on the stocks, the Principe Regente, but she is only in frame. The prince said every thing that the most cordial feelings of gratitude towards, and condence in, his majesty and the British nation, might be supposed to dictate. I have by signal (for we have no other mode of communicating in this weather) directed captain Moore in the Marlborough, with the Loudon, Monarch, and Bedford, to stay by the body of the Portuguese fleet, and render it every assistance. I keep in the Hibernia close to the prince's ship. I cannot as yet send the Foudroyant, Plantagenet, and Conqueror on to admiral Purvis, according to their lordships' order of the 14th, which, I trust, will be the less felt as an inconve. nience off Cadiz, as they appear to have been ordered thither with reference to the Russians being within the Straits, before it was known they were on my station. I have the honour to be, &c. Frigates. voyage of the two.
