Two of the said boats had sailed before our arrival ; the re.naining fire were akin by the frigate L'Aw'roil. I proposed also to effeet• a landing on• the same day, but a • violent wind arose and prevented it. In the night between the 9th and l 0 h of May, the French em barked in different place., upon boats belong. ing to the people of the Country, and quitted - OE island, tharing their course for the coati , 'of Ragusa. Oar vessels, with oars, captured one of these boats, with sixteen soldiers on hoard. —lu their retreat, the French left behind, those of our soldiers whom they had made prisoners. They brought away with them only Lieutenant Wajeilow. After having taken every measure for maintaining ourselves in ,possession of Curzola, I left there the frigate L' Asu:rail, and set sail for Lesina. Between that Island and Lissa I met the ship of the line the Ad-, the Commander of which, Captain Bailli, informed me, that he had arrived on the 29th of April before the Fort of Lesina, with the said ship • of the line, Jhe chebeck he He *en!, the schooner L'Expeaation, the brig he LetliN, a trebacalo, and a Corsair. On the let May, he ereaed a battery upon a small island. opposite the opening of the Port, to faeb , litate a land ing. The French kept op a brisk fire dpun our workmen, and upon the detachment which was to prom& them, hut they were soon repulsed, and the fire of our battery silenced that of the enemy'i battery. At the sense time, 100 soldiors, come mended by Capt. Skorobagatow. and. +2 armed seamen, were landed This detachment, at the outset, drove back the enemy. and took pos session of Ott Church-yard of the Catholic t hurch ; bat having been attacked in its min ts, t h e French. who bad col e, all their forces. gist were aided by the inhabitants, it was tossed to yield to superiority of number, and to withdraw inttrely. We had eleven men killed and thirty three wounde3 in this affair. The Captain or the staff. Skor ohagatow. and fifty-nine seldi re, were made prisoners. The enemy also took a row• boat, with thirty two men, which had run aground. They, however. suffered a gr,•at loss. as well in rte anion with the above detachment, as from the fire from our boats. Cap..iit Bailli has agreed with the French Commander for rn ex change of our wounded and taken p.isoncis, h.r a like number of French, who had p evi.msly fallen into our hands. Besides the above-mentioned prizes, the Venal frigate has also taken, on her way to Trieste. two vessels belonging to the enemy.

We rated - yesterday, that Mr, , Fox bad been tapped on the preceding day. -far a dropsy.—At ten o'clock on Wednesday night, an Express arrived at the Pavilom, Brighton. to apprise his Royal Highness the Prince of WALLS of the intended opera ion.—His Royal Highness left Brighton at halt past six on Thursday morning. and arrived in town before the important and critical moment. Mr. F.At bore the operation with a fortitude worthy of so great a man. We are happy to say, that it afforded alliaost immediate relief. We have also the pleasure to add, that it has been ascertained that there is no tumour upon the hirer, and that his disorder is considered of the least dangerous specie s Mr. Fox had a good night on Thursday, and was as well as could be possibly espeßed yesterday.— His Royal Highness the Prince of Watts was in cessant in his inquiries on Thursday ; and yes. terday. at five o'clock. His Royal Highness called, on horseback. at Mr. Fox's tease. One of the principal domestics waited upon him, and his re port of his master was extremely favourable. This day, we resume oar tetrads trom the )utch Papers, which we received on Thursday, in addi tion to the contents of a new series to the sth, and of Paris Papers to the Ist test. The principal feature in the Paris Papers, is the capture of Gaeta, which is officially announced in the Mositeer.— The Articles of Capitulation were settled on the 18dt of July, and the garrison was to embark in the course of the following day. when the French were to be put in possession of the works. The place was well defended. The enemy opened their fire on the 7th. and it was dot until the 18th. when a greet part of the town was destroyed, and two prafticabli breaches erefted, that the garrison offered to surrender. The Prince of Hesse, who is said to have been severely wounded, went on board as English frigate, previous to the surrender of Gaeta, in consequence of which the adjustment of the terms devolved upon some Officers of ioferior oseeideration. It will appear, from the Articles of Capitulation, that the garrison °banned very ' honourable terms. ' The Afevinsr also contains a long sarcoma of the raising of the siege of Ragusa. and the Hamborgb, us well as the Dutch Papers. state, that difficulties '. here presented themselves to the surrender of Cameo. 1 : I%4.oo!.l4ll,fierceiligiatkqa awe Get Many will immediately appear. the plan was matmed it Paris, between TA cLavitaND and the Envoys of the Confederated Courts. M. D'Oosn ic may be considered as almost the bearer of his own treaty. He passe/ through Frankfort on the 25th last, on his return from Paris to St. Peters burgh. The Manifebr lately boasted, that the French had fifteen squadrons at sea.—The following interesting Account of one of them is copiel from Gimes of yesterday, a respeaable and intelligent evening print:— Extra& of a letter from Plymouth, dived Aug. G : Four days since, I communicated to you an ac count of Capt. Keats's squadron having chased three or tour French frigates, and that the Latent, saw the Mars at a distance when she came away, and Was in hopes she had not lost sight of the enemy; she had not, for this morning the Mars arrived with one of them ; the others made their escape into Pas sage, a port in Spain. The prize proves to be Le Rhea French frigate, mounting 4'2 guns, 330 men; taken by the Alors, 74 guns, Capt. Oliver, after a chase of twenty-four boors ; both arrived here this morning. The above frigate was in company with the &rime and Horwnose, of 40 guns ; and the .7brwi•, of 36 guns, who made their escape." l'he following particulars may be relied on as con eft : „ When the Mars discovered Le Rlein and her consorts, she was the look-out ship of Commo dore Keats', squadron, .vet y far advanced; she im meliattoy gave chase; and in the evening of the 28th ult. discovered the enemy shout seven miles on the weather how. The enemy finding the Mau gaining upon them, and out of sight of our squa dron, forrne.l their line, as if inclined for a Snub, which would probably prove a hard one, as the win•l was very high, with so much sea, as to pre vent her using her lower-deck guns. thereby re ducing her almost to the force of a stout frigate; but on her nearer approach, our gallant tars had the mortification tcrsee three of the frigates make off, and leave one to her destiny." • 'I he enemy's squadron escaped from Cadis in February last. and went to Senegal, from thence to Cayenne, and afterwards to the West Indies, and cruised to windward of Barbadoes fifteen days, in which time they chased an English frigate, which escaped; they re-vi&ualled, &c. at Porto Rico; and, on the 18th of May, left it on their return to France. During all their cruise, they only captured two English vessels and one Swede, which they burned. Le Rhin it a beautiful ship, strongly built of oak, and is about four years old. Extras% of a Letter from an Officer on board His MIJISTY'S ship Mare, same date, and on the same subjea :—" I have now something pleasing and in teresting to communicate. On the !7th ult. being the look-oat ship of the squadron, at six p. at. we descried in the S. W. quarter, four strange sail, steering to the Southward and Eastward ; imme diately made the signal to the let. and commenced a general chase—the Arrive between us and the legit, repeating oar signals ; we soon made them to be enemy's frigates. Night coming on, we lost sight of them ; carried a press of sail on a wind all night; in the morning saw them again, none of our fleet in sight ; chased all day, till six p. a. Le Rhin being then far a-stern of the other three; they tacked and stood towards her and us; and as we expraed and trusted, to give as a little sport after our long chase of 160 miles; however. find ing we were not dismayed by their superiority in number, they bore up, made all tail, and left the Le Rhin to her fate." The EuroFee, Cos►To', arrived in the Downs, sailed from Surinam on the lit of July, in company with the Tare, for London. The Eurydice got on those, and did sot Ism the River till the Si, the Tagus proeseded. We have received New-York Papers to the 6th last. bet their contests are of no importance. The 30th Anniversary of American Independence, was celebrated on the 4th, in the usual manner. No American Papers to the 14th have been received, as stated in borne of the London Journals. An order was on Thursday issued by the Trans port Board for enraging any number of vessels that can he obtained, which are to be provisioned for a three months' service. General Fox does not, as has been erroneously stated in some of the Newspapers, relinquish the Lieutenant Governorship of Gibraltar. in conse quence of the extension his appointment to the chief command of all rces serving in the Me diterranean, but will Tete to that garrison in the event of peAce, or of the recal of the British army from Sicily.
