COneeiving it possible,. I imagine,. that the appearance of our Squadron off Palermo,. 'where the Kitqc was, might induce him to revOke such a tnea, sure, we proceeded to that Port, but learned frOm Mr. FA6ET; the British :Minister, that the' KING could not proteft himself, and must submit to the terms imposed on him by the French. The Champion Fri.: gate was diipatched to Malta, to order the. Alexander• and githenietr to join us off Maritimo.

We continued the . chace .all night, the Mercury being 2-head, but I am Lorry to say that in the morning they were out of sight. - I susped they hauled to the 'Northward. " Knowing they had 4.000 Troopi on board, and that BONAP .
