The Prince of Heffe and his troops are Rill at lbkfiina, and very quiet. Admiral Thornborough arrived at Palermo the other day, from Gibraltar, 23 day's on his pairage." FROM ANOTHER OFFICER. Magna, June 22. Two days after my left in May, I was obliged to make a moil precipitate retreat from Reggie, the French having entered the town before I got well clear of it ; the poor Neapolitans having received from them a mot} confounded druhbing. 1 certainly expeCted this, but 'could not imagine it poffible for the French to follow up their victories In extremely clofe. The battle took place between the little town of Milia and Monteleone on the 27th of May, and for force hours was very doubtful; but the French having by a circuitous route rent a body of troops to attack their rear, by this manoeuvre, and from the cowardly conduit of the Neapolitan Cavalry, the poor fellows were obliged to run for it. We are all ex• tremely lorry, particularly for the gallant Prince of lieffe Philiplial, whole bravery is defcribcd to have been aftonithing on this unfortunate day. The French General R sotstE R cr.mmanded in perfon, but has little to lama of by this btifinefs : his force was fuperior, and by their own accounts had Soo killed, and General Attestor was mortally wounded. The Neapolitans had Soo killed, and as many taken ptifoners, with eight light guns. RION ILK remained two dayslefore Reggio ; but finding the Callle fo well defended by a fmall body of Neapolitans, and feting our tranfports in motion, with our referve, thought it prudent to retreat to his former p 116(.11. We have juft heard of the fafe arrival of the rein forcements for Alexandria. The troops there are in good health, and well fupplied: we are happy to find that nearly the whole of Lieutenant Colonel MACDO NALD'S Divifion are living, and well treated by the Turks. Some few Britith foldiers who had (haggled have been fold for flaves, and little hopes remain of their recovery. FRENCH JOURNALS. Laft night we received Paris Papers to the 14. th, and Dutch to the tsth inflant, both inclofive..-- TALLBYRAND has been railed to the dignity of Vice• Grand Eleflor of the Empire, and M. CHAMPACNY fucceeds him as Minifter f)r Foreign Affairs.— CHAMTAGNY is generally allowed to be a man of good fence and moderation, and, in the different offices he has filled, has maintained a highly re fpeetable charialer. General JuNot was expelled to affume the com mand of the Army deflined for the invafion of Por tugal on the 16th. If this he title, we (hall foon hear of his arrival at Lifbon as Ambaffador Ex. traordinary, at the head of 40,c00 men. Bayonne, where his troops are, is 700 miles from Lifbon. THE EXPEDI fION. Gwernment have not yet received any further difpatches from the Baltic Expedition. It is under• flood that Admiral GAMBLER has been inftrueled to demand of the Danes that they fhould become the Allies of this Country, in which cafe the troops and fleet were to co-operate in their defence ; and that if this was refufed, they were to be confidered as having preferred the alliance of France, and there fore to be treated as enemies, teeing it was impot ale that in the prefent circumftances they could con tinue r.eutral. Saturday the t gth was the dayon which the period allowed for decifion would expire, and if they refuted or evaded the propofal, the Ifland of Zealand and the Danifh Navy were to be ftized. We may exped, therefore, every moment, to hear the refult of this important affair. We truft that our Commanders arc not repeating the irrefolute conduit, which did not add to our lart. tels at the Dardanelles. If fomething was intended to fecure the Ifland, and the (hipping of Copenhagen, Zealand ought immediately to have been occupied. , --We know that BONAPARTE intended to cccupy that ifland in order to Ihut us nut of the Sound, and to give Swedifh Pomerania to Denmark as an equi valent. But we believe that he will now profefs the greatell raped for the independence of Denmark, and accufe us of unprovoked oppreflian. But let our fleet be once removed, and that kingdom become at once a member of the German Confederation, in other words a vaffal of BONAPARTE, and its fleet will co operate with his defigns againft Ireland, hence our idea will appear that no time is to be loft. If we mull keep a fleet of zo (hips of the line in the Sound, we are cramping our exertions in other parts. Pof feffed of Zealand and of the Danifh fleet, we have a ilatiTa, which, with a comparatively fmall naval force, will fecure thofe advantages in that (ci, of which our implacable enemy means to deprive us. In the mean I:me, the molt advantageous poll tions, it is Paid, are taken to circa the complete oc expation of the illand of Zeal In.!. The troops will be landed on the fide of the Great Belt, and will take Copenhagen in the rear. The diflance they will have to march does not exceed twenty miles, and Admiral GAMBIER, with a C( nlitlerable part of the fleet, will cc-operate cn the tide of tire Sorrd. HAMBURGH AND ALTONA PAPERS. We this Morning received HambUrgh and Altona l 'papers to the 't ath init. Their contents are of con-, fiderable importance, as they (hew that the refilefs ambition of BnNAPARTI is not to be fatisfied with the Treaty of Tilfiri favourable as it is to his views. Great changes on the Continent are fpoken of, and immenfe bodies of troops are in motion tpwards the North of Germany ; while a dire et allufion is made to the Treaty of Tilfit, which is faid to contain a claufe for organizing 'a molt formidable Northern Coalition againft this country, in the event of her refuting the mediation of Ruffia. The following are the chief articles in the German Papers : ' HAMBURGH, JULY sp. [From la Abeja Efpanola--the Span% Bee, Auguft r I.] Throughout the North of Germany a combined plan of operations againft England, is 'believed to exiß, and which only waits her anfwer to the propo fitions from Rullia, to be put in execution. PARIS, AUGUST Various conjeCtures are formed as to the deflina. tion of the firlt corps of the army commanded by the Prince of Ponte Corvo, which, it is laid, is in march for the North of Germany. It is not known whether this Prince alfo command% the army en camped in Swedifh Pomerania ; although few give credit to the reports in cis culation refpeeting the movements of troops to the borders of Denmark, it is notwithtlanding pnffhle that this meafure may be taken, if England rejeas the mediation propofed by RufLa.—lbid. HAMMIGH, AUGUST zo. The Prince of Ponte Corvo did not make fo long a flay at Lubec as was expedled. He returned hither on the Bth in the evening. His Royal Highnefs the Prince Royal of Denmark, left Kiel on the Bth inQant for Copenhagen.—/bid. FRANKFORT, AUGUST 2. For thefe eight days pall, nothing has been talked of but the changes which are about to take place in the North of Germany, in confequence of the treaty of Tilfit. It appears certain that the county of Ha. nau will augment the territories of the Prince Pri mate; it is alfu laid that all the eonntty to the left of the Main, except our city, will pats under the domi nion of the Grand Duke of Baden, who•will make Come concellions in Princonia and Suabia to the King of Wirtemberg. The Grand Duke of Hefre Darm fladt, who, in confequence of the Paid difpolitions, lofes a portion of his climes, will be indemnified with the principality of Fulda and the fouthern part of the country of Heffe Cad. It is alto thought that the Grand Duke of Wtutzburg will acquire Tome new poffeffions in Franconia; and that the Dukes of Sax ony, elpecially thofe of Weimar and Gotha, will acquire Come Pruffian diftties, and others in the king dom of Saxony, fituated in the mid of their territo ries; the Duchy of Altemberg will be reunitedto the kingdom of Saxony. BANKS OF THE ELBE, AUGUST ro. (Abedle du Nord, Auguft IL] The Prince of P, nte Corvo returned to Hamburgh the day before yefterday. We are affured that the Englifh troops, cn the ifland of Rugen, are em barking in order to join the Expedition. Eighty pieces of heavy artillery have lately been brought before Stralfund. The cannonade of that place, which took place on the 29th of July, was direited againft the work people rf the enemy, who had ad vanced to the environs of the ftve walk. The King was on the ramparts during the cannonade. The French army is returning from the kirgdom of Proffia ; a party of the guards is already arrived at Berlin, and the advanced guard of the corps which is to occupy the North of Germany will arrive at Span dau on the isth of this month. A public paper lays, that the affairs of Germany, particularly thole of the Confederation of the Rhine, are about to be definitively regulated at Paris. The Hanleatic town, feventeen in number, are to receive their new political initrations at Paris. The coafis of the German Ocean, from the frontier of Holland to the month of the Elbe, are to be oc cupied by Dutch troops. There will be in the en• virons of the Lower Elbe, a corps of 15,c00 Spanifb troops. It is confidently afferted, that the Mince of Ponte Corvo, is nominated Commander ih Chief '.l .dl the SpanUh forces which now are, and will arrive in Germany. BANKS OF THE MAIN, AUGUST r. It is confidently faid, that in the event of Great Britain refuting to make peace, a Ruffian army will be joined to the Perilans,itt order to attack the Eng bat pnffellions in India whila the It.)ffi.in fleet, reinforced by the Turkith fquadror.s, will do its nt moll to drive the Englith out of the Mediterranean. — /flea du Nerd, Avail it.
