'•NA4 l , l Pirai W A RREN, according to . the account by this Captain,' had , received information t.ilat the French .Squadron. was at Messina. I-le therefore - posted his Fleet advantageously. in the Channel between Naples and Sicily, to receive that of the French, which on its arrival tl-erql found itself surrounded, and after a severe Engagement, in which the French- lost several Ships and _a great number of men, Admiral PANTHE AVM E finding 11 ° way to escape, surrendered with all the r e _ Inainder of his Fleet, which_ was carried into Malta, where Four Ships of the Line, Three Frigates, and' severaLThollsand Men, among whom was the Youngest Brother of the Chief Consul BON A T ; 11 4 1 arrived. After this complete Viaori,,Adini, ral WARREN detached some Ships to Anco n a, as lie had received advice that there were French Ships in the Adriatic. Within these three days the re h as b een muc h ta lk of an Engagement having taken place between the ngiish ,Squadron under Vice-Adm. WAR REN and ihe French under Admiral GANTHEAUNIE.

We persevere, however, in supporting .our, first opinion of this Piece. It is very insignificant in itself„and.,can only be kept alive by the e.xcellence' of the Music, And the general merits of the aaing.*—Very little opposition appeared against it during its progress,' but when it concluded, the Audience . thew a line between. the inherent pretensioni of the Piece, and those of Performers, and the Coln. poser. The Ading and the Music received the warm homage of popular admiration throughout the •.representation,, but when it concluded the Audience 'rtOre4o clarnOnntiS intheir condemnation, - that Fiv,v --1 t)turforsiccti.it upitn the Stage near a. quarter of an hour before he could contrive to announce it for this The contention respeaing Mrs. EILLINoToN amicably settled to the satisfadion of all parties, and upon the footing best calculated to gratify the public. --She sings alternately at the two Theatres. A mare and a foal belongiug to "Mr. Cumberlal'ici, of Leicester, were lately killed by lightning. The _tipl,er jaw of the mare was shattered to. pieces ; the foal had no external roaik (2.1 violence. BESIDES the:/lanitth/. which was taken at Ale siras, two other English Ships were tendered in capable of service. They reached Gibrias' with a great deal of difficulty, having several leaks,. and it will he necessary to break them up. Lt Pontlee is one of these two Ships, which, in the midst di the aaion, struck her colours. The other three Ships are considerably Zrimaged, and only reached :Gibraltar by the assistance of a number Of Boats.— The English lost a great many. men. • The French .Captain, MONCOUSSU, who was killed, was one of the best Officers in the French Navy. By the Bth July the French 'Ships were repaired, On the 9th, Admiral McanNo, -with five Spanish Vessels, and Rear Adnii,ral Dum,A7ora, ,with some French Vessels, arrived at Al f e - siras, to join the Squadron of Admiral LlN'ots, aild'Conddiilthe Ha nibal. into Cadiz. - . • Admiral LINOIS in his cruise took several Eng lish Vessels, and two Armed Brigs, belonging to Has BR ITANN IC MA J ESTY. • Admiral MAiARE bc, who command's at Cadiz. displayed .great zeal and activity in sending out from Caliz- Admiral IVloar.No, to join the French Squa dron, „at , Algesiras. _ _ Admiral GANTHEAUNIE being Oil the 24. th of June between, Candia arid 'Egypt, discovered at day-break, _a seventy:Sour gun Ship which was soon known to be English ; Admiral GANTHE ALIME ordered iteneral chace ; she was not able to escape from'the superior sailing of the French-SqUadron At Eye o'CloCk in the evening, the English Vessel having lost all hopes "of escaping by dint of sailing, manceuvred with the intention of fighting its way through the French Fleet,. but the French Ships the indivisible and the Dix d' Aout, got before it, and engaged, at first at a distance of 600, toises, and afterwards within musket-shot, and after a smart Plaint . ) of about an hour, she struck. She proved to be the Sruyiftsure, one - of the finest Ships in Admiral KEITH'S SqUadiCil. Our Ships did - not receiyermtch damage ;. the Indivisible had but four men disabled, the. Dix ,i"Aout, had six killed and twenty-three wounded. Adm. GANTHEAMIZ Man ned the Swiftsure with Detachments froni his own Fleet. On the 4th July-he took -ac English. Brig fromßristol,:laden withcrrovisimi the English Army in Egypt. Th i n w ithin one litigliblve have taken two English Seventy-fours. It is said at rienna that . the . Frcnch are forming large Magazines at Pesch; era 'and at Mantua, and that a great number of Troops paSs the Alps in order to complete the Army of .Italy,, from which, it is inferred that France is again disposed to War. The same Agents spread reports at Paris, that the . Court of Vienna is raising new Troops, that she keeps up her establishnient of Artillery, hastens her recruiting service, and is bringing her Army toge ther ; and they conclude by saying, that the Court of Vienna is disposed to War. InGermany, itis reported that the French Troops have entered Rome, and have taken possession of the territories of the PopE. At Paris it is .said. that the Austrian Troops have invaded the Upper Palatinate, that some Actions have taken place, and they even name the Officers who were killed and wounded ; thus the Austrians have recorntnenced the War, rod violated the Treaty of Laweville. They say at 'Vienna, that 35,000 FrenCh have passed the, Rhine at Cassel, and proceeded by forced marches into Westphalia. At Paris it ,is . said, that a considerable body of Austrians have embarked at Trieste on board Eng lish Vessels to assist the English _Army in Egypt. It is reported:at Vienna, that the Republic will not send an Ambassador to_his Imperial Majesty, and . at Paris it is said, that Count Ce•t3EN'AEL will leave that place in a few days - . All these reports coming from the same source, and having the same objet, are equally false.- The Continent was never farther from War than at this period; it only exists in the 'imagination ofthe English Agents. Their impudence and their ad.dress is extraordin;ll37. Bulletins are made for the occasion, and sent to the different Jour_ nals, and thus all these alarming r,;;orts are circu lated at the same time; The-iburnalsts,qUite proud of the earliest intelligeruA ; rake! the grtest pains to give these reports tlpiappea,Egpce of truth. 1 What odious policy ,is that,,nbi h can . only find ease and tranquillity in Ile subyersi n of the world? If all the mothers who have lost their children,. if all, the wives who have lost their husbands, in' consequence of this horrible and long war, were to present themselves' in Windsor Park, they would say to the British Cabinet - , " It is on your account,' it is to gratify - your -passiens, that we haVe lost every thing that is most dear to us." The Chancellor of the Exchequer might then bring forth a note from the Treasury of all that this war has cost England, as little in comparison with the . sum of the evils which her policy has oc casioned.. The whole crowd would exclaim, " Why not keep your money, and leave us our fathers, hui bandsand children..' InstrUfted by experience, all the people on the Continent now say, " Keep your money, Gentlemen, we shall net cut one another's throats for your benefit." JULY 23. The squadron of ' Rear Admiral Sir JAMES SAUMARE Z, which was defeated by Rear-Admiral LINOIS, consisted of the C‘rsae, the Spencer, and the Pompee of 84 guns ; the Audacious, the- Han nibal, and the l'enerable, of 74 guns.

CALMS,, JULY 19. --- This morning at eigh , o'clock, a small Squadron, consisting of six gun boats, set sail from this port, carrying a R.,:mber of troops. The signal had - been made that some of the Enemy's Ships were in view, but as they ap peared at too great a distance to take any concern in the movements on the Coast, the Squadron thought . it might venture to set sail. and to gain BouhLrnz.,_ pursuing the cost with - a favourable 'wind.—lt lta~d already -. proceeded half the:distance, when doubling Cape'Grinis; it perceived four English Ships waiting for them out of the sight of the Watch Towers. it is supposed that they had choSen the night to gain that station. The Squadron first meditated retiring at the sight of such a superior force, when they discovered six other Frigates, , which having Oh served them sailing from afar, had come upon their rear; and thus kept: them blockaded-,—At the. sane time one of the Enemy's Brigs tiring a signal of 1 S guns, about zo Ships of War, of all sizes, from the Frigate down to the' Corvette, came to take the Squadron in flank. Thus blockaded on all sides, and supporting the fire of . t 9foy,before, ,behind, and in flank, they luckily found' a shallow part, and having by an adroir nix - IC:env re, and . soiinding every minute, placed themselves in such a 'Situation, that there was a sand-bank 'between them and the English, they cast anchor in sight of the Enemy, who did the same. The Squadron was now in a situation of, great danger : they had no Forts to Protea them ; but their stedfast conduCt awed the English, who appeared to hesitate as to the mode of attack. • In, the ,mean time, Gen. FERRAND, commander of the Military Division, Gen. Botia As commandant of the place, and their General Staff on horseback, fol lowed by part of the garrison, by the Cannoneers, who form part of it, and. by several pieces of .Artillery set out in haste from the city towards the shore, in order to carry assistance to the Squadron, by throwing up batteries, which might; prevent'-the English from taking or destroying them. But while these arrangements were made, and while all the speetittors were in 'great uneasiness and indig nation, the wind suddenly subsided, and 'a dead . calm followed. The ,Squadron taking advantage of this-favourable moment, and, by the assistance of its oars, managed by the Crew and the Troops on hoard, passed the British Fleet with intrepidity, Who did not dare to attack it, nor to follow' it by their ,Gun-boats nor Sloops, came back into port amidst the acclamations Of all the spethtors, about four o'clock in the afternoon. BURY ASSIZES. A C3USC of considerable consequence was'tried. Mr. GRIGBY, a Gentleman in the . neighbourhood of Bury, deteimining to . try the legality of -Bank' Notes• its a Tender, went to the. Bank of Messrs. oAtcr.s and Son in that Town, and demanded Cash for sol. !worth of NoteS of their own, for which he received part in Cash, according .to the accus tomed proportion, and the rest in Bank of England Notes. IVlr..GtticuY. demurred, but took them. After wai s lie _went with,!kis servant, who pro_ duced by, his order a Five Guinea Note of Messrs. OAKES, for which cash was paid ; a second; cash also ; then - a third,' for which a Bank Note vas tendered : 'Mr: •GR I GBY refused it, and declared, his only obje& was to bring an Aaion if the Paper of the Bank of England Was offered him : it was offered, - and refused, and the Action brought. The Question for the decision wn-s LTivided ; the orte tesucaing i i legality of the Tender, was re served for a case to be tried in the Courts at West minster. . The faa of Mr. • GRI Oat's . demanding Cash, and bringing the Aaion because it was're-. fused, was now to be decided. Mr. Baron HOTHAM, in his charge.to the jury,, direard them to find for .the Plaintiff; hut ob served,: Who this Mr. GR I CW( is, I knoW not ;.

The Judge ordered them t 6 re-consider the Verdid. The jury returned the same Verdia. The Judge complimented their motives, which were obvious ; 'jut recommended a further consideration, that their 'Verdia might go with*, the .Evidence, observing, that the general Question moat be trid atWestmin ster Hall., The Jury then submitted, and lave their Ver4id for the-Plaintiff, Irene.:6;r2...rds, - ; 74 izd, Rbyal - illighisses the PiII:ICE.

"Ilzinchesar,ly 22, IRar G. o.—" The Troops in the South-West Dis_ triec are again called upon, in the most pointed man ner possible, to be in constant readiness to move on the shortest notice, according to the orders and re gulations already delivered to the several Battalions, " The Commanding Officers of Co, ps are especially required to pay, constant attentiOn to the state of the_Regiments, as if regards the. readiness on the instant to move to any part in .the District which may be threatened by, the Enemy, and'they will be held reSponsible for that particular circumstance of duty, " The Commanding Officers of Regiments will fre quently turn them out, and parade them according to the order for the light equipment, and see thht the Officers, as well as men, are properly appointed in every . respea, in conformity to flit Royal High ness the Commander in Chief's orders. s " The General concludes, it is on tW.s occasion un necessary to repeat what he expects from the zeal, ardotir, bravery; and, above all, discipline of the. Troops he has the honour and satisfaction to com mand ; but he relies on-the unremitreel exertions at Commanding Officers, on whom_ he again calls to make known to the Troops the nature . of the ser vice they may expect in case of invasion from the Enemy ; to point out distindly to them how much, at this crisis, the country depends upon them for its preservation -and defence - agains-t a barbarous,' im. placable, and a desperate enemy. . " Every thing will of course be expeded from the high state of discipline in• which the Troops .in this distrid are; and should the occasion offer, there is no doubt, it is to be hoped, that every advantage will be reaped from it. s " The portion of the Companies already ordered, must continue to . be pradised constantly in the ni'ocie of service adopted- by light Troops, as these will be found essentially useful. • " Commanding Offiiers take care that their battalion guns, with every thing belonging, to - thein, .horses, harness, drivers, and the men .ap propriated for them, are expert in their s exercises. Ammunition for- their guns,must be filled without delay, .and bOl-cartridges. ready to be instantly.de livered out to- the men when ordered. ", The women, sick; and heavy baggage.will be disposed of according to the- orders already given,. and-be sent to Amesbury ;if the Army moves for ward to the Coast, any superfluous baggage found on the march will be immediately burned, .an4l -as the General is resolved on this point, Officers are again cautioned accordingly. " A most rigid observance of His Royal Highness the Commander in Chief's orders will be expeded, and the Commanding Officers of Corps will, upon all, occasions, be- looked On -as responsible for a strict obedience to them, in every resped whatever. " If any Officers are absent on any other leave, except His Royal Highness the Commander in Chief's, they are to be recalled without- delay:;. and on no account is any Officer to be absent from • his Regiment. The Officers of the Royal Navy, who com mand the Fencibles• along the Coast of .the South:West Distria, will immediately distrilmit . e the men, and report accordingly to the Admiralty and the General ; they will see the Batteries,put in the best Order they can without delay, and point mit separately and distinaly. what, they require for the defence and%service of them.
