In the hook of fate, however. it was otherwise written. At first, indeed, Generals Verdier and Rainier had an obstinate struggle in Calabria, and the latter sustained no inconsiderable loss in the action of the 4th of July. The Government of Naples was meanwhile ex tremely &Ales ; it every where raised national guards, composed of tasted persons, and intercepted the secret correspondence of the English with Sa lerno, Pozzuoli, kc. Dat the circumstance that gave a decidedly favourable turn to the state of af fairs, was the surrender of Gaeta, on the 18th of July. By this event Marshal Mantua was enabled to hasten with 20,000 good troops, to the assistance of Generals Verifier and Regnier, in Calabria. The English, perceiving that they should gradu ally sacrifice, by asserious resistance, the 5 or 6,000 men which had been landed, began to retreat slowly at the beginning of August to their ships, and re turned to Sicily. At the present, they retain nothing but she fortress of Scilla, or Sciglio, on the strait of Messina; with this exception. the whole of Calabria has been again reduced by the Preach. The atrocities of the insurgents in the Two Cala briar, an/ in the province of Abruzzo, exceeds be lief. They have been promised the property of all inhabitants who favoured the Preach, sad of the Ba rons who espoused their interest. Several Dlftwfis were sailed alive, by the hands and feet, to the doors of their palaces. All the French soldiers who fell into the hands of the insurgents, obtained no pardon unless the English interposed and rescued them. The Two Calabria:. these fertile and beautiful provinces, are now, for the most part, a smoking desert. Scarcely a day passes, is this city. without executions of rebels, in the place before the Castel Nam, most of whom are monks; nevertheless, all the prisons are still filled with them.

Dispatches were yesterday received at the Ad miralty from the Channel fleet, announcing the im portant intelligence of the capture of bur French frigates, part of a sq , tailron of five, by the squa. dron under Sir SAMULL HOOD ; and also of the capture of a fifth French frigate, by the Dispatch brig, of 18 guns, and the ennopou, of 80 guns, !tear- Admiral Louts.—The dispatches were brought by Lieutenant Asoaasott, who arrived at twelve o'clock, in a chaise and four, at the Admiralty. The new Ftasr LORD of the ADMIRALTY lost not a mo• ment to impart the pleasing intelligence to the City, and at half-past two o'clock the follnwing bulletin was exhibited at Lxoyo's, aed posted on the front of the Mansion House:— " Admiralty Office, 3.1 0.1. 1676.—Dire 7'. M. " I have the honour to acquaint your Lordship, that an Oftwor Is joist arrived from Sir Samuel Hood, with an account of his having fallen in with fee Trench frigates, four of which hate been captured by the squadron under his command, an. " La Glare, arf 45 guns, broad pendant t La Minerre, L'Arenalo, and Indefatigable, of 44 gusts each. " T►e above ships were full of troops. Our NU olit killed and wounded, is —killed, nine; wounded, 32. " I am sorry to add, that Sir S Huod has lest his right arm. ACCOIIIIOI me likewise received from Sir Thomas Louis's senedsen, of kis having taken the Vrench frigate the Presi des; of 44 guns. " I have the Miaow to be, Ike. (Signed) " THOMAS GIIIIIVILLE." " To the tight Hon. the Lord Mayor." The French squadron, we understand, was der tined for the West Indies. Some say it was bound for Buenos Ayres ; but whichever was its destination, its capture is of great importance, as, had it proceeded upon its voyage, it must have ar rived in that quarter of the it orld, long before the expedition now lying at Falmouth. The French squadron had just left Rochfort, and bore down upon our ships, mistaking them for In diamen. Sir S•NUEL HOOD'S Squadron, ell Reels fort, consists, we believe, of the Ceffietir, 74 ; Glory, 98 ; Priam ef Wake. 96; and the Isfertarees 74; and the /talents sloop, of 16 guns. Of these, we uarientand, the Centaur and two more were en gaged. The French frigates fought with 'great spirit. La Minerva was formerly the Eaglish fri gate of that name, which ran avow! in • thick fog, in the evening of lnly 17911, Rear Cher • burgh, and was there taken. The President, taken by Admiral Louts, was the frigate which escaped from Sir fiAltUll. HOOD. On Saturday last, the Dispatch, of 16 guns, fell in with her in lat. 47. 10ug."7. and, after a chase ortwenty-three hours, brought her to anion, in a gallant style; when the Canopus, which had joined in the chase, coming up, the French frigate struck her colours. She arrived at Plymouth oa Wednesday last. The other prizes were hourly experged. The President, when captured by the Dispatch and Canopus, was steering for L'Orient.—We are concerned to find Sir SAssutL Hoot, has suffered so severe a loss in this achieve ment. There is not an Officer in the British fleet to whom his country looks with mere expeastion. He is the grandson of Viscount HOOD. and grand nephew and presumptive heir to th • Irish title of Baron BILIDPORT. His elder brother, ALEX AMICK HOOD, Capt of the Mass, was killed on board that vessel, in the late war, in an engage ment with L' )(croak, dying, like Newton, in the arms of viffory. Sir S•meet. Hoon, in the loss of his right arm, has also suffered a loss similar to that sustained by that gallant Chief at Teneriffe, and is, we trust, reserved to run a similar course of glory. In another part of our Paper are given some of the brilliant anions that have distinguished his professional life. The Hansburgh Mail, due on Wednesday, ar rived yesterday morning. with letters sad Pa pe: s to the 27th. announcing the important intelli gence " of Mr departure of the Krug of POUSSIk from Berlin, to put hialtelf at the head of hie Gray, toad that the FreurA Allatakr et Berlin, M. La Foassr, had demanded his passports."—His Mar BST It set out on the t!Oth for Potsdam, and on the 22d proceeded to ifegdelearg, on his way to headquarters, at Natamtburgh. He was accompanied by the Qua ea, who was to remain twe days with hint at the latter plate, and then return to Berlin. The listen ac count from that city, is dated the 23d. and states, that the French Ansassanoa, in answer to his de mand of passports, was informed, that he should receive them, when the Prussian Minister at Paris, General KmoarEsnoarr, had received his. This caution, on the part of the Prussian Cabinet, is well wart-Anted by the character of B . Hi s contempt of the law of nations, and repeat-d viola. Lion of the rights of Ambassadors, will disgrace, in the eyes of posterity, the age in which he lived, —The Marquiss I.vccuestra had left Paris, and ar rived on the lath at Franckfort, on his return to Berlin. He was of course safe out of the clutches of Boer Ai , ARTS, who, in the opinion of the Pruiii I t s Ca binet, is probsblydisposed to lay an ens!;argn upon M. KsoaLesnosev. The Prussian army is lullof enthu siasm, and burns with desire to me asure words with the French. This spirit is not confined to Lie army. It per►ades the whole population of the country, and displays itself every where in offers of voluntary service, and a desire to contribute, in every p , 4,ihl e way, to the advancement of the glorious cause. The Grand Army is commanded by, Marshal Mot lINDORY and His MAJESTY in person, and is com puted at 70,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry. its present station is in the vicinity of Merseberg.— To the left, are the troops in Silesia, under Prince HON EN Lon a, to which 20,000 Saxons are to be ad ded. There are, besides, three separate armies, an. der Generals BLUCHER, KA ucacurog. and Recurs.. We find, also, in the Hambergh Papers, detiiive proofs of the determination of Russia not to be as idle speetator of the quarrel between France and Prussia. Almost all the RIMIER troops are encamped. Magazines are eolleSing for their use at Warsaw, and every other preparation is made, necessary for an army entering upon a campaign The departure of the King of Swenen for Schnnen, induced an apprehension, that he had withdraws from the common cause ; but a letter from Elsineur, of the 20th, states. that His MAJESTY would proba. bly return to Pomerania is a fortnight. The Swed ish army remains in Pomerania, and the Dachy of Lauenburgh, and we are confident that this gallant Prince will persevere in the generous policy which has hitherto guided his *Wont. A report prevailed that the Rteltor of Hz's' had declared himself neutral, and obtained the consent of Prussia to that coarse; but it is not proable. Meanwhile, the French troops have 'fallen back from Westphalia ; that comer upon which the ambition of BONAPAETE had east a longing eye t but they are fortis , . jag daily reinforcements in Franconia, and upon the Maine. An article, dated Rome, August SO, is our Paper of yesterday, stated, that repoite were circulated in that city, of more bloody baths fought is Calabria, by MAssxwa, the particulars of which were expelled. This appears to have been the load:tan of a report which prevailed in the city last evening, that data/cads had attained &nether defeat from the British in that quarter, and bad been driven,with great slaughter, front tome of their principal towns. The accounts from Naples, is yes. terday's Mail, come down to the 6th of September. and we are concerned to say, do not contain any thing to strengthen this erpeettation. A latter from that city, of the Stb, developing the whale planet the English expedition, admits that the French suf fered considerable loss in the hatde of Maida ; but concludes with asserting, that the English, at that date, retained only the fortress of &ilia. ups** Streight of Messina, and that, with this exception, the whole of Calabria has been again reduced to subje&ioo. Accounts from Paris, of the Idth ult. is the Ham burgh Papers, state that Lard Lseosen•r. a was at that time very ill. Thry likewise inform us that the squadron is the road of the Isle of Aix had suffered severely by a storm. The Ajax, of seventy-four guns, was driven on shore, but hopes are entertained that she will be got off. The French prisoners nf war, sent from Sicily to Genoa, bestow great praise on the kind treatment they experienced from our countrymen. 111 e prin cipal officers of the City gave several flats to the Officers of the vessel which conveyed them to Ge noa. We have also received Dutch Papers to the Cols last, but the most important part of their contrats has been anticipated try the Hamburgh Mail. The French, according to these papers, are appre hensive tea: an attempt will be made against Het land, for the force appointed to defend it is estimated at 80,000 men. The Funds have scarcely varied within these few drys, notwithstanding die Intnated appearances et war upon the Continent. •I•I••••• His !
