~.. ~ I hl c . PRANCE. _PARK JUNE at. Prince Eugene, Vice-Rey and Commander in Chief of the army of Italy, writes, that General Laurefton, who arrived at Ragufa on the s6th of May, was ap I prized, that the Ruffians, in eonjunltion with the 1 Montenegrins, headed by the Grak Bifhops. were advancing to take poffeffion of Old Ragufa.—He dif patched Captain Smartt, of the sth Regiment of the line, with two companies, and four pieces of cannon, to occupy that pot. This Officer took a potation at Old Ragufa, on the evening of the 29th of May. iielound the inhabitants in great confternation ; the larbarkusi, who were deftroying every thing with fire apd (word, being within half a day's march of them. The inhabitants, moreover, had but little confidence in the French. whom they did not conceive by any means equal to mountain warfare. Captain Serrant immediately made a difpofition of his force. The enemy,ro the number of about a tbonfand, appeared at day-break, and began the attack with hideous ' (bouts. The French fullained it calmly, with order and lenee, and returned it by a well fupported fire. 1 fi The firing continued for three bout s.—A Corporal, perceiving the enemy's colours, ruf: ed forward to feize them, and was killed by a muficet Thor. The barbarians fell upon him, and cut off his head. The French became indignant at this ferocious aft ; they charged the enemy from all (ides, and drove them, at the point of the bayonet. to the confines of Cat taro. The inhabitants could Rawly recover from their aftoniffirnent, when they perceived the French, with their knapfaeks on their backs, !bramble up the rocks and mountains, even better than the Montene grins. Tbefe honeft people did not know, that no ' Winks could arreit the conquerors of the Alps.— The fecond in command of the Montenegrins, under ' the orders of the /Mop. was killed, and from two to three hundred of their followers remained upon the field of battle, after having been turned and driven up againft Tome fiupendous rocks. General Laurif ton, in the mean time, fent three more companies to the affi fiance of Captain Serrant, which did not arrive until after the engagement. On the fame day, the Ruffian frigates proceeded to attack Santa Croce, on the fuppofition that it had no artillery; but the activity of General Laurifton bad provided for it. There were upwards of forty pieces of cannon, eighteen and 36 -pounders, well manned and fupplied with ammunition. The Ruf fians made off as loon as they perceived the batteries unmalked. This event was not only productive of joy, but of a degree of enthirfialm, in Ragufa. The inhabitants efinvinced of the power and intrepidity of the French. no longer fear the Ruffians, or their fanguinary and rnercilefs neighbours, the Montenegrins.—Mmitear. Never were there more falfe reports in circulation than at this moment—the German Journals are full of them, and they are very indifcreetly repeated in ow- Papers, which conceive themfelves authorifed to da fn the moment they find them buried in fume very Ways and very ignorant paper. Is it otherwife pd. able that one of them thould not have perceived the impropriety of copying from a German Paper, the intelligence that the Elector of Baden was upon the point of refigning the Government of his country, and retiring to his Eft ate, ? The Elector of Baden will no longer govern his people than it is to be wifbed for their happinefs. To govern is not a mechanical art for which ardent youth es betterqualified than advanc ed age; and it is well known there guilts no Prince who, in the emote of a long reign, has occupied himfelt more conßantly, and who continues to do fa, for the happioefs of his fubjefts. Such an article of intelligence fhould not, under the ptefent circumflan ces, have been adopted by a French Journal. The Editor of another Paper having read in a Neapolitan Journal, that the Ring of Naples had suede Tome regulations in the (alt duty. for the pur pore of rendering the collation of it more equal, im mediately announcedthat the tax was to be aboliffied. An Augfburgh paper Pays, that the Pope was going to Avignon. It is very natural that the Editor of w German Journal thould be ignorant that the Pope 'teas nothing to do with Avignon ; but a FrenehJour nal Mould have known. that the territory of Avignon is called at this day the department of Vauelute.— Moniker, Iture a s .

JONI 29. Were we to notice the current reports of the day, we might fay a great deal relative to the general ex. palatial of a peace with Rua', and of that coati -slued correfpondence between our Court and that of Berlin, which fome people conned with the exilling, Ann hitherto very flow and tedious negociations with England.

RAGUSA, Tows 9.—Four thoufand Montene grins, fupported by a corps of Ruffian troops, enter ed the territory of Ragufa. They deftroyed every thing in the plain of Cognioli with fire and (word ; it is difficult to form an idea of their barbarity. Four hundred French, who were Cent forward to won. mitre, compelled them to halt. General Laurillon, informed of their number, ordered Colonel Tefie, with fifteen hundred men, to advance. A battle took place, and the barbarians were driven at the point of the bayonet to their mountains.-1141 NAPLES, Jima 14. —According to the IA ac counts from Gaeta, the place is more and more in dicted by the Prenel. The third parallel is formed, and it is hoped that the place will furrender, and not rind the confequences of a Rorm. It is added, that the entrance into the harbour is much incommoded by a battery of mortars, lately opened; and that feveral reeds have been Itruck with bombs while at their moorings, where they were fuppofed to be in perfeft fafety. MILAN, June 13.—The Ruffian fquadron having attempted an attack on the night of the 3d infi. in the j neighbourhood of Capo &Ulna, was completely re pulled. The inhabitants of Mu a, who took up arms againft the enemy, contributed much to make them 'retreat. by keeping op an inceffant and well direded 6re againft them. General Seras made a report of this affair to his Imperial Highnefs the Viceroy of Italy. who has ordered the Prefed of the Department of Ibis to exprefs to the brave inhabitants of Muja his fatisfallion in their seal and bravery upon this occafion. ROME, MAY 17.—The Prince of Heffe Ilhal has atitially received a reinforcement of Englifh, though their number is nut known. Yefterday he made a fur tie with three columns ; the firft, confin ing of about five hundred Englifh and Neapolitans, went by water to a dinance of fix miles from the place. The greaten part of them took poffeffion of the little fort of Sr. Andrew, upon the high road to Naples, where they killed a number of French belong ing to the garrifon. and (piked the cannon; but being loon after attacked by a Coperior number of French, so Englifh and 8o Neapolitans were made prifoners, one of whom was hanged immediately upon an olive tree by the road fide. The reit of the column retreat ed to the mountains, and it is probable that their re treat to Gaeta is cut off. The other two columns, with the Prince at their head, made an attack upon the French works ; but after a little fkirtuifhing they returned to the fortrefs. In the mean time the Eng lifh kept up a brille cannonade from the lea, and did Come damage to the French.

CONSTANTINOPLE,May 28.—We have again received intelligence of tbc affemblage of a !refs di vifion of the Ottoman troops. This new rendezvous is at Salonica; in Greece. The la letters from Arabia bring very onpleafant accounts of th.: progrefs of the • Wechabites. They have lately flopped the carravaa with the Pilgrims going to Mecca, (hot the Nei= who conduaedthem, and killed a number of his people. nide rebels are already augmented to a formidable army, and theirs numbers daily increefe, which occafions much tut ' eafinefs in the Divan. • VIENNA, June 16.—Ere!afire of the proeefs againft the Marquis de Ghiliilieti, another is now carrying on againfl Field Martial Baron Brady, not relative to the furrender of the Months of the Cat. taro, from whence he was Come Itundred miles :dif tant at the time, but in confequenee etf feveral other complaints against him from Prole') officers 1 and as our Court has taken up this enquiry in a ferioutirtight, it is looked upon as a manila proof of the regard in which they hold the etteem and frierldthip of the French. Jlln■ tB.—The report that Ragufa is blockaded by Ruffian and Britifb Ships of war, wants confirmation. Lail Saturday our garri(on manoeuvred , upon the glacis, and performed feveral evolutions in the French manner. • People continue to perfuade themfelves, that they perceive new fymptoms of an approximation betvleen France and Ruifia. For louse time pail, Count Re fumoss fki, the Miniller of the latter, has had repeated conferences with M. La Rochcfoucault, the French Envoy. A French courier, who arrived here by way of Munich, has brought the neceffary paffports for the Ruffian State Melfenger, M. D'Oubril ;—and that Gentleman. whom the newfpapers had prematurely fent to Park, k now actually upon the point of fitting out for that city. Since. in the courfe of the late rupture, there has been repeated occafion for remarking bow Err the French troops excelled ours in the art of . war, and in manceuvres, we are now engaged in inftruding the garrilon in come of the principal evolutions, &c. ; an example which we fuppofe will be followed by the rell of the army.

FRANKFORT, Jury s3.—Letters from Munich mention, that the conflation between Anaria and Bar.tria becomes more intimate every day. The two Courts have come to the refolution of fending Mini fters Plenipotentiary to each other. Baron Rechberg, it is funded, will be the Antbaffador of the King of Bavaria to the Court of Vienna. On the 17th inft. the thin and lea column of too prifoners, who have been quartered thefe two months at Landfberg on the Lech, moved forward, for the purpofe of being embarked at Guntzburg on the Da nube. on its return to Maria. Jura zs.—At length the French troops are to.leave Germany : the French Emperor. faithful to his en• gagements, gave orders for their departure as loon as he had certain information that Aufiria had fulfilled her part of the treaty of Freiburg. We now receive information from every quarter, that the divifions of the Grand Army are in motion for their retreat.— General Vandamme, who has been tome months at Landlbut. began his march for Nieuburg on the 17th, and will proceed from thence through Nordlingen to Strafburgh. General Souk will alto leave his head quarters at Felten in the courts of a few days. The few French fick on the other fide of the Rhine will alto be conveyed to Straiburp. where a park of at tillery from Guntzburgh armed tome days ago. GENERAL MIRANDA, KIIMITOII, JAMAICA, Mae to.—The Echo, which is arrived here, failed from Aruba in company with the expedition under General Miranda, but parted from the Leander the evening of the fame day in a (quail, and fell to leeward of Curacoa the therefore returned to Aruba, and took on board a cargo of mules. The Leander had on board 7000 Rand of arms, and Soo barrels of gunpowder. A veffel from Curacoa arrived at Aruba on the 3d infant, and brought accounts that General Mi. rands had effe&ed a landing at Puerto Cavell°, where the garrifon, after difcharging a few guns. loaded with land. opened the gates of the city, and received him. He had afterwards proceeded for the Caraccas, where the inhabitants were equally ready to receive him. The Leander, after difembarking the General and his Staff, with tso foldiers. returned on the 3oth ult. to Bomar, where the anchored. On the Leander's voyage from New York, flu fell in with the Cleopatra frigate belonging to the Halifax Ration, and received a paffport front her Commander, requening that no molefiation might be offered to her by any other Britifb cruiser. The officers belonging to the expedition are uni. formed its a very fplendid manner. They were con. &dent of fuccefe ; and that powerful engine, the pref., had been employed, not only during their paffage, but while in Jacmel, in printing fuch papers both in Spanias, and in the native language of the people, as might bet anfwer the purpofes of their new vifitants. We are informed, that a line of battle (hip, having on board a confiderable number of troops, failed from the Havannah on the 4th ult. by the direEtion of the Governor a Cuba, for the purpofe of endea vouring to capture the Leander and her contorts, and in the event of not falling in with her, with or dera to proceed to the Cameo s and there land the force.

Since our lefi we have received the former to the ad, and the latter to the 4th inn. A paragraph in one of the Dutch journals mentioate the receipt of leers from Madrid,. of the gd ult. which Rate, that the expedition of General Mttuwo♦ spina the Spanifh Settlements en the Continent of Ames ice, has affumed a very ferious aped. Accor ding to the lea accounts, he had already penetrated to Santa Fe, in the kingdom of Grenada. In the Meitner much importance is attempted to be given to a lkirreith between the French andhlonte. negrins in the neighboutbond of Ragufa. No one, acquainted with the valour of the Ruffian troops, could believe, that if they formed any confiderable part of the attacking force, two companies of French would have been able to cbace them all the way to the neighbourhood of Cattaro. It appears, however, that the Montenegrips returned the attack upon the French poll 'tion within a few days after their former repulfe. The affair was of more confequence than the Mt anion, as there were upwards of four thoufand Montenegrins and , Ruffians on one fide, and two thoufand French on the other. The French claim the honour of having a fecood time driven the lterbariatu, as they call them, to the confines of Caftan); but as they neither env.• merate the number of ptifoners, nor the amou,a the killed and wounded, we may indulge a hope, that the viLtory obtained by them had not been very brilli. ant or decifive. It is clear, however, from the article dated from Reigate, that no Courier, with orders for the evacuation of Cattaro, had reached the Sill of thefe towns on the 9th ult. although he was Rated to have left Vienna a fortnight before. The Maitre, alfo, which Rated on the Bth of June,that the Months of the Cattaro were actually evacuated, now mentions, under the head of intelligence from 'flick, of the 7th of the fame month, " that three thoufand Au ftrians were embarking for the purpofe of furrender ing it to tl.e French." Is it not evident, therefore, that all the reports which have l:ten hitherto thew• lated retpeiling an event fo important in its code cinema have been premature and unfounded, and are IN
