They yesterday gave the enemy an earnest of what he may expect from theqs in a general engagement. This was of it. self a smart affair, and to borrow a French phrase, " Cot ered the English with Glory." It was the object of the enemy to cut off the division under General CRAVItURD, and prevent it from joining the main army, With this view they assembled a force of 8000 infan. try and 8600 cavalry, which, at about three o'clock in the morning attacked our advanced guard, consist ing of 600 cavalry and 4000 infantry only, in the cinity of Almeida. " MESSINA, /U NE 22, 18W. Our letters from Gibraltar come down to the 25111 144 14 Which time the garribou was in good health " It was not till night that this contest terminated and when it is considered that, during the conflict the British repulsed the enemy is three distinct at. tacks, at the point of the bayonet, on the bridge which passes over the Coa, you must suppose the carnage amongst the enemy must be great.' ' The contents of the Portuguese Papers, which have been received to the 30th ultimo, arc for the mo s t part rendered unimportant by the official CommJni. cations which have been received. All accounts agtea in stating that both armies were concentrating, and that a -general battle was shortly expected to take place.—" REGNIER had broken up from Truxillo, and crossed the Tagus at Alcantara, to join MasszNa. General HELL was also on his road to Castel Branco to join Lor , St . WaLLENcrow. The Fren c h h ave i nves , ted Almeida on the Spanish side. The 7th regiment of infantry, 1000 strong, landed at Lisbon, from Ha. Wiz, on the 28th ultimo, and immediately marched to join Lord WELLlNcros's Army. The 23d Foot, from the same place, was daily expected at Lisbon." This morning Mails and dispatches were received from Malta, Sicily, and Gibraltar, brought to Fal. mouth by the Carteret packet, Captain Davin', in 16 days from the latter place. We have a letter from Messina of the 22d June, a t which 'time the enemy had not made their grand effort against Sicily. The following is the letter alluded to ; " I have no doubt but that an attack wi I be made up to us before the middle of next month, as MURAT himself is how at Scylla-with fully 20,000 men, and they have collected nearly 200 gunboats and small craft there, and have 300 more in the Adriatic ready to co-operatc with this army. We are erecting bat. teries all along the Fam of Messina to oppose their landing, and though they may.suffer severely, I think they will eventually succeed in getting a body of men on shore. Indeed it is the opinion of the best in. formed here, that the island cannot possibly be saved but by a complete change of system—such a change as would give the people confidence in the means of defence, and a prospect of future felicity. The island, should by treaty be made British property ; nor would it be difficult to satisfy the present Royal Family by giving an equivalent in England." Our accounts from Falmouth add, that when the Carteret-sailed from Messina on the 23d June, a very heavy cannonade was seen and heard over the Fato point, and which continued from one P. M. till eight: the packet then running out of the sight and hearing of it, Capt. DAVEY knew nothing of its object or result. On tl.e 2d of July, the packet touched at Gargenti, on the S. W. side of Sicily, and there took on hoard a S icilian Messenger, who had crossed the island from Palermo, with dispatches, and who reported, that the French had made an attempt to cross from Cala• bria to Sicily, but had been defeated with the loss of iv. tween three and four thousand men. The Messenger also stated, that Admiral MARTIN had arrived at Pa lermo, to congratulate his Sicilian Majesty on the event, previous to his leaving that place.—Off Sar. dinia, the packet was chased by a French privateer, but escaped by superior sailing. His Majesty's ships Trident, Unity, Elvin, anti Spider, were at Malta on the 26th June :—and on the 22d July, the Royal Sovereign, Hydra, Comus, Hearty, and Alacrity, - with the Prince Erntst packet, were at Gibraltar. It is our duty to add, that we have reason to be, lieve tbe above accounts 'from Falmouth ate over• charged—the following being the substance of the accounts circulated in the Offices of Government : " The CARTZRET packet is arrived from thelledi terranean, bringing dispatches from /*sows to the 25th June, and from Gibraltar to the 25th July. " The preparations for invading Sicily were carried on with activity, but had been retarded by the attacks of our flotilla, which had engaged in several succ caterprizes against the French convoys of stoic:, artillery, Lltc. " Ilse enemy had erected most formidable batteries along the Coast, for the protection of his ves , eis, of which several hundreds were. collected. !dollar %as with the advanced guard—his whole force was esti• mated at 5,000 men. In the mean time the British were not idle. Fortifications were thrown up on the Sicilian shore, and every means taken to strengthen the portion. " The unhealthy season was fast approaching, and if the French troops remained much l►►nger encamped, would prove very destructive to them. "Accounts tram Malaga received at Gibraltar state, that the enemy were dismaiitli lig the Castle, and were about to evacuate the place in consequence of an Order of recall to the Neighbourhood of Seville" them `ter RS in vet our C- lay ect it. ase, ject eral my. fan. ,ock sist- vi. ted ilia at. hick lase have most IJni. pt CJ and tai rino, ENA. anco ►ves, nent Ha.
