Yesterday we had a Dutch post, which brought letters from the duke of Marlborough to tho lord treasurer, as also several other letters, advising that the French king had an account from Barcelona of the 4th of May, N. S., which say that count Tholouze, having taken on board the marines, sailed from before that place the 23d of April, old style, towards Thoulon, upon sir John Leake’s making up to him. Some letters say he fell upon the French fleet, sunk and burnt several of them, but little credit given to it; and that count Tesse at the same time drew off his army by land; but whither the duke of Anjoy went with them on board the fleet, is uncertain.
