MotcSE.MNEuft—t had the honour, in my letter of the 28'4i:inst. to announce the taking five boats belonging to the English squadrons which I supposed were manned by 100 men ; there were 118 on board them. A violent gale of wind, which emu, menced immediately after this affair, having dis. persed my boats, I did not know the details un til last night I hasten to transmit them to your Et celleney. The Enseigne de Vaisseau, M. Constantin, com manded a•boat with 22 risen, with which he attack ed one manned with 30, at the moment the enemy's division, which:railied, was coming to protest. - them. This officer had engaged. with his swivels and inns kets,-but fearing the enemy should escape ordered him to be laid on board. The English, con fident in their superiority of number, rushei to thet boarding, hot M. Constantin jumped among, and drove them to the Opposite side of their boat, whcti this movement caused to fill ; the French gained (-heir boat, and succeeded in saving 26 men, one of whom was a volunteer, and another a surgeon.--,- The officer commanding the ,boat was killed, and 3 men dangerously wounded. During this aetion the three gnn-boats attacked the four other beats, alt armed with carronades, swivels, and muskets, the Lieutenant de Vaisseau, Dui i, keeping at the same time. in die( k•theEngl , sh brig, which endeavoUred to protect the boats, took one with 13 meni_ two of %%110 were volunteers ; the three others, annoyed by my boat, commanded by the volunteer of the first class, Purge, pierced with bullets, and nearly sink ing, arrived upon the coast, and made pri'oners the crews - amounting to s-venty men, one of whom was was an office r, and five vol i unteers. The result of this affair, Monseigneur, is, the taking of five boats and 118 men; two of which are officers, etOtt vo lunteers and one surgeon. Out of this number, one officer and four sailors have been killed, two others died immediately after, and five temairt dangerously wounded. It is likewise to be supposed, that in t the boats pierced with bullets, there must have' been some men - killed, who- were thrown into the tea.. NAPLES, DEC. 28.—Letters trona Sicily at last an.. nounce the arrival of Lord Beutinck at Palermo, and his speedy return to Mosina. TOULON, DEC. 23.—The aelivity of our . squadron dues not relax a single instant. Yesterday a signal was made for a convoy coming from the ports to the westward. Vice Admiral Emeriau immediately made the ships Wagratn, Donawert, Genois, Danube, and the frigates Incorruptible and Medee, under the orders of Rear Admiral Baudin, sail. This divisior4 gave chace to a ship, a frigate, and a brig ; protect ed by this manceuvre, the convoy sailed without in quietude, but the bad weather wiiicb now commenc. ed, induced Vice Admiral Emereau to recall the di.i; vision to its anchorage. it had completely fulfilled the objed of its VIENNA, DRC-28.—The reports of peace het ween Russia and the Porte have entirely varOshed. All ac counts received from Bucharest, WiJdin, Belgrade, &c. perfectly agree in this.

All the- positions in Java, occupied by the Gallo Batavian army, fell in succession on the approach of our frigates, and the landing of seamen and ma , nines; and after a few sharp skirmishes, JANSEN ca pitulated, wite the whole of his Frenchmen, as pri goners of war. Several waggon-loads of money have been taken, and a vast quantity of coffee, pepper, spices, &c.—Our loss, on the is whole, v ery trifling, it.UL but sickness had made its appearance ambhg the troops, and particularly tit* marines, who have been a&ively employed on shore. We hope it is not intended to occupy that horrid place Batavia., We have received Moniteurs and other French 'Papers to the tuth inst. They are silent respeaing the Peninsula, hitt contain some very exaggerated accounts of' our recent losses on the coast of Hol land. The following is stated to -be a correct account of the circumstance of the variation between the Bul letin of Sunday, the 12th instant, and the, testimony given by the Physicians or. Monday, t het 3 th. The d derence ought to be- accounted for; and an-expla tiation of the ha will account alio for the terms 'of the Bulletin exhibited yesterday. Physicians all meet at Windsor on Saturday morning ; • and it is after visiting the KING, and a. consultation toge r - tiler, that the Bulletin which is she wn at St. James's, on rue Sunday, is, made out. . It substantiates his MasasTy's case therefore only up to that-date; and accordingly, the Bulletin of Sunday sennight, said .that " his MAJESTY continued nearly in the same sta!e.!!—On Monday, however, it came out_in evi dence that at five in the evening of Saturday, the I t th, after the Council had broken up, and all but the Phy - 'siciatis in rotation had left Windsor, an access of his MAJESTY'S complaint came on. Or. ii,94s,T.Wiws , gave an account of it in hiS evidence ; and we un derstand tha't the exacerbation continued with un abated violence for the whole week, during which the KING'S irritation was at times ex cessive. It world be most painful to the hearts of his affeetionate People to have a Journal of • the disorder for the seven days, during which-its violence continued ; it became so alarming on Satur day mooning last (by the length of time it had en dured, and the effects which want of sleep, and a high pulse must necessarily' have - on the bodily frame), that all the ordinary Physicians were desired by the QUEEN'S Council to continue their attendance on his MAJESTY'S person. Sir HENRY HALFORD and Doctor HEBERDEN ac cordingly remained, as well as Dr. BAILLIE, and expresses were sent to town to this effect: The Bulletit . i made out, as we have said,' on "Saturday morning, states the fact of his MAJESTY having had as access of his complaint—for the following was the Bulletin exhibited at St. James's Windsor Castle, January IS. His MAJESTY has had a considerable increase *1 his disorder with-io the last week. " H. HALFORD. " M. BAILLIE. W. 11E13ERDEN. " Vd I i_l 3s. •. Lt. tV1,1.1152?
