I/ who has been indefatigable in his exertions in Cala -144, has had feveral long conferences with General Fox during his flay ; but, if we may credit reports, they by no means agree in opinion, refpeeling the fu ture plan of operations, and there feems no probabi lity of the navy being able to accomplifh any thing of importance, without the co-operation of the army, though we might again extirpate every Frenchman out of Calabria in a fix weeks campaign. " The atrocities committed by the French troops have fo provoked the natives in the whole kingdom of Naples, that no (Ingle Frenchman can fir out in any part alone, without imminent rifle of being affaffi• rimed ; and on the firft appearance of any confider a. ble Britilh force, the whole country would again rife V up in arms to deftroy their oppreffors. We have undoubted accounts of the enemy having loft by kill ed, wounded, and defertion, or prifoners, upwards of moo° men, in left than two months time, and you may rely upon it that an army of 20,000 Britifh troops, under an Relive Officer, would completely drive the French out of the whole kingdom of Na. pies in a few weeks, fo decidedly is the country in oar favour. All their intercepted letters from Rao. am and VIIIDINIt confirm this, and had our army appeared off Naples after the battle of Maida, fo great was the panic, that King Josaru would un doubtedly have fled from his capital. " This goes by the Thunderer, which is now get ting under weigh to join Lord COLLINGWOOD, off Cadiz. " Our army is now tolerably healthy at Meninx, a the malignant fever which broke out amongtt them in Calabria having totally abated." HOSTILITIES BETWEEN PRUSSIA AND FRANCE. Though the Dutch Stoats Courant, of the loth, was filent refpefling the fkirmifhes reported in another Dutch paper of the 9th, to have taken place between the out polls of the French and Pruffian armies, yet we find the account in the later paper was corrett, and that the advantage. as then Rated, was on the fide of the PrufGans. The Hamburgh Corr4ondest of the lath infant, brought by a veffel, which left the Elbe on Wednel day lad, contains the following notice on this fubjed: " BERLIN, OCTOBER it. Hoftilities have at laft commenced : the public evinced the greateft joy, on being informed thereof by the following letter : TIER MIMI OF HOHINI,OIII TO THIE PRINCESS Of SALM, DATED JENA, OCTOBER 9.

We have much pleafure in being able to fay. the re port is wholly dellitute of truth. From the letter it appears, that the reports which afctibed to the Britilh arms another vittory over the French in Calabria, on the 26th Aoguit, are errone ous. Up to the 13th September, no frefh debarkation of our troops had been effefted on the Continent. The letter mentions, that an expedition was then pre. paring at Merlins, and that the objeft in view was rather to alarm the coaft and embarrafa the enemy, ' than to drat a permanent footing in the country. The Calabrefe are not in a condition to take the field as an army ; in Imall unconnected corps they may diflrefs the enemy, intercept his fupplies, and cut off any weak parties that may venture from the main body. Thurfday morning, his Excellency Lord CATII. cave, Commander in Chief of the Forces in Scot land, left Edinburgh, on a military tour to the North.
