Jul Y The news of the sentrrnder of the k . atta:o to the French troops, so long t zoeted, has been preceded by a new engagement hetwwn the latter, the Rus sians, and the Monreneg•ins. Ile French attacked these latter oa the 6:h it v. to drive them from the Ragusan territory. Tots operati.m was direA:d by Generals Lauriston and Moli•or in person. The following is the account of it in the French official paper of this day: On the Roth of July, General Lewiston set off from Ragusa, and General Molitor from Stamm. They placed the Russian and Montenegrin troors between two fires, killed a great number, drove them from Ragusa, and pursued them to the moun tains of Montenegro. They took from them a great quantity of artillery, including eight 96-pot::d. •rs, and •ome mortars. The Montenegrins committed the greatest ex cesses against the wretched inhabitants of Canade, and of the province of Ragusa, during the time that the French troops, shut up in that place. left them masters of the different provinces. The inhabitants of Ragusa behaved well, and en dured, with courage, the devastation of their coun try. These unimportant combats, have, however, ceased ; the Russians have re imbarked. and returned to Corsa. It is said, but the news wants confirm i lion, that the Catholic inliabitaats have got possession of Cattaro, and defend it against the Greeks and the Montenegrins. The Catholic inhabitants are 'widow partisans of the French. On the morning of Wednesday, July 25, be tween twelve and one o'clock, a men at Paris as sassinated his wife. and afterwards killed himself. Their children were in bed, near the parents, and heard the last groans of the in and his vietim. The cause of this atrocity is said to be as follows: One of the most distinguished Magistrates under the old Monarchy, had emigrated with his wife and daughter, aged nine years. Soon afterwards, to preserve for his daughter the property that de volved to her, by inhoi itance, from her other rela tions, he sent her to France. and intrusted her to the care of his former hair-dresser, whom he had made his trustee. The girl was seduced, at the age I of 15, by this man's son, and was on the print of becoming a mother, when her relatives, who were joined by her father himself, appeared before the Tribunals. to demand the nomination of another trustee. '1 he new trustee, and the counsel of tl•e family. opposed the marriage which the hair dresser's son was desirous of contraifting with tte unfortunate girl ; but having attained the age of '2l, she monied him. contrary to the wishes of her father, and the whole family. Ever since that time, she had continually received the worst treat. anent from her husband. The day preceding her death, she had been taking a walk, with bet ser vant, on the Boulevards, and proposed to her to sleep from home, as if fearful of some mischance; she, however, resolved to return. It appears, that this young woman had ben; for same time deter mined on a separation from her husband. On her chimney-piece was found a letter horn her father. stating, that in case she was obliged to have reeraym to this measure. site would aisle: s find as apart- attar, at her servi c e, in his house. There is every reason Ps beiieve. that 'the tiiscovery c this letter; tvY her husband, impelled him to parpcuits the fatal deed. GOTTENBURGH Ni AIL. GOTTLNBURCII, JULY 23.

LONDON, FRIDAY, Auntlir 8. BATTLE IN CALAHRIA. We received, last sight, Pat is Papers to the SI st last, and Dutch papers to the id instant. They contain an account of a severe atlion betwesn the French and English in Calabria, a southern pro vince of the kingdom of Naples. It appears, that, on the Ist of July, a body of 6000 we piesume from Sicily, lauded at the Guiph of St. Euiemia, in Calatnia, On the 4th, they were attacked by General R costae, with the 41.1 Regi ment of the line, and the Polish Re invent.—ln this Att.sa. it I. admitted, that General COMPS VIZ was danger.tusly wounded. and taken prisoner, along with 300 Poles. So far, then, we may presume, that the enemy were co:npletely defeated.— The English, gushed with su:cess, and being joined by a reinforcement of 8000 men, and between 3 and 4000 Calabrians, advanced into the country, within a league of Cosenza —Cosenza is a town in Calabria, at the foot of the Apcnaines; and there they were met by General %Tunica, at the head of 10,000 infantry, and 2000 cavalry. A desperate battle ensued, which ended, we are told, in the total defeat of the English trocps, of whom 1,900 were taken prisoners, and General %Teatime was left in pursuit of the rest, who, it was hoped, would not be able to regain their ships.— The English appear to have Lando.' in confident expedition of being joined by the Calabrians, and they were not disappointed. The French account admits, that they succeeded in exciting insurrelion among part of the inhabitants of the country. or, in other words, they afforded an opportun:ry to the brave and loyal natives, to make a glorious effort, to defend their King and Country against a foreign Usurper. •• Fur this ad of revolt," however, such is the French idea of the law of nations, the Military Commanders have been compelled to in- Rid on the villages and the inhabitants, the utmost rigour of the laws." General R Mill*, after his defeat, advanced to Cotrone, delivered up the vil lage of Lissola to pillage. and put five hundred revolted Calabrians to the sword. The heart sick ens with horror, when we reflea upon the fate of the brave and loyal village of Lissola—when we find that it is not a solitary instance of unprincipled ferocity, but that other towns and vil lages have 'peen subjeded to the same barbarous revenge —Stich is the system pradised under the Ina and Merrill/ King lota's'. It is the French dagger, and not the Fitrich King, that reigns in the hearts of the Neapolitan people. When the Mexifear a:xt boasts King Jostria's clemency, it need only remind its readers of the fate of Liarola. Aecotoiag to the latest advice: in the Paris Papers from Gaeta, the siege of that fortress was carried nn with great anivity, and it was reported a grand attack would be made about the 6th or 7th last. We do not know whether that attempt proved successful, nor whether the discomfiture of our troops in Calabria, supposing the French account true, e►en in the degree, accc!:rated its fall, but we are Assn: ed, that cur Government have receive,: pusi rive intelligence, that it has been taken. The inulligence from Paris, states, that no com• munication will be made upon the subjed of the Russian Treaty, previous to its ratification. M. D'Ousstt. set out from Paris, for St. Petershurgh, a few hours after he signed the Treaty. He Was to travel day and night, and hoped to be at Ptters buig:s in a fottnight. Before his departure, he hired a sumptuous Hotel for the Rtusian Ambas sador who is to reside at Paris during the peace. At the time of the signing of the Treaty. the troops in the dlete an the interior of France, were under orders to march towards the Rhine to raise the several regiments in that quarter to their full complement. • These . ordors have been shies coun termanded, in conseqiieace of that event. This, added to other pacific measures adopted by Rorie r Aar a, in relation to Russia, shews, that he appre hends no dlEculty will arise to its ratification.

Further difficutties have pretested themselves to the surrender of Cattaro. The Russians have et. pressed their readiness to give up the place to tl e French, brit the inhabitants will nrst consent.
