SICILIAN GAZETTES TO THE 23d OF AUGUST. MESSINA, AUGUST I6.—We have ha 4 exhibited here a most gratefid spectacle to all the inhabitants of this city, and to every good patriNt of the country. It is the review of 30 pieces of flying artillery with cavalry and equipages complete, the property of in 7 dividuals who have made this contribution for the defence of the country. They were mans uvred in the presence of the Commander of the British forces,' with that precision, and at the same tithe with that rapidity, for which the British artillery iisdistinguish- . ed. It is not possible to express the proud satistac-. tion with which the generous contributors ob'ser veil the applause and gratitude with which their assist ance was received. Monday the 15th of this month, being the Birth day of her M ijesty the Queen of the Two Sic;lies, the public joy was signified with all appropriate demon sti..tions and in..g.iiticence on the happy occasion.— The Governor ol the pl. ce, Lientenaw-GeOeral Do ssier.), received the congratulations.

BUMe is estimated at about 10,000 men in killed, wounded, and prisoners. Some people doubt whether the loss of the French could possibly be so great, but certainly it could. not be less, taking the usual proportion of the wounded to the killed. The usual estimate of wounded is seven for every two killed : this would girt 9do besides the prisoners taken. And in fact the has ac— tually sustained by the British and Portuguese in that: action was nearly in the proportion of 2000 to 10,000; being in one case 107 to 524, and in the other 90 to 532 ; or, upon the whole, 197 to 1056 ; which, sup p4ing the FrenCh to have suffered in the same pro portion (even without mentioning the prisoners), would make their loss amount to more than 10,000. Betides, if we consider the peculiar nature of the place of attack, and the description of the repulse, and we may credit the report of the French themselves, the number of their wounded amounted to at least 8000 ; for flags of truce had passed subsequently to the battle, and deserters, not less than 100, had corns in on the night of the 27th, all of whom concurred in estimating the number of their wounded at full 8000.—We cannot doubt then that the late battle L proved a most. disasterous one to the enemy. The accounts received of the late glorious rencoun ters with the French in Portugal, hasuccasioned the delay-of the sailing of the DOLPHIN,'44 guns, a con voy . with troops and o ffi cers, to join corps under Lord WJILLINGTON, and various stores for the idyll. - The DOLPHIN will not ,again sail before the *Ofx Officert go out jo, the transports under her conyo', to join thfir regiments in Portugal, and many medi cal officers go out to assist in attending the wounded, as another engagement will have taken place before they can have got to Lisbon. The new Medical Board derive the highest credit for their refoims - and exertions to give the proper attention to sick and wounded officers and soldiers. It is thought that marks of the Royal favour will immediately be conferred on -Generals HILL, PICTON, jaLITH, and PACK, and Marshal pERESFORD ; and that Lord WELLINGTON will be promoted in the Peerage. We heard some time ago, that the Prince Regent of PORTUGAL was to insert Marshal BERSFORD among the Nobles of that country. The Marshal is a native of the county of Waterford, in Irelanti, and has often distinguished-himself Wore the present occasion. Generil haw is one of the most actiVe and. able Officers in our service ; he has been •known-"rw-the public by his cont e st with General FULLERTON regiid sing Trinidad : be distinguished himself at Walcherea and at various other places. • General Ltarri is a native of Aberdeen, and a most accomplished Officer—the brother-in-law, if we are not misinformed, of the Doke of LEINSTER. General HILL is a native of Shropshire, and nephew of Sir RICHARD HILL. The General is considered as one of our alert Officers. General PACK is a native of Ireland ; his high cha racter as an Officer is well known in the Army. Last night we received German papers to the 6th, and Paris journals to the 9th instant, from which we have given extracts of every thing deserving of notice. We also last night received Dutch papers and letters to the 13th. Pottenburgh Mail arrived this morning.
