The opinion which was yesterday expressed relative to the force which sailed from Plymouth on the 18th of September gains considerable strength from the following fact, which we copy from the Boston Evening Gazette of Saturday last.—After noticing the capture of the brig Hiram by the David Porter, and giving the other news by her, it is stated that, "on the 30th of September, there remained at Cork about twenty sail of transports, with troops on board, and many men of war, waiting orders."
These, no doubt, are the vessels mentioned in yesterday's Gazette as having sailed from Plymouth on the 18th of September.—Gazette.
We learn from an English gentleman that there must have been a mistake in stating that the Norfolk Transports sailed from Plymouth with the ships of war mentioned yesterday. He says there is a ship of six hundred tons called the Norfolk Transport, which, no doubt, was the vessel that sailed with the fleet on the 18th of September.—ib.
