Masse to succeed in their projeEted attacks on his" position at Catanzaro, The Fleet got under weigh accordingly at 8 P.M.- and the iiiilowing morning (although a considerable distance from the shore) I had the satistaaion to ob serve the French Army in hill retreat towards Co- Arone ; as their route or toad appeared. to run nearly parade! to, and within gun-shot of- the beach, and , to. he bounded on the sTpuijle „Side a chain of tn:mntains, no better opportunity could be offered, apparently, 4tan cffeCMA co-operation with the Masse wit is view Capt. floste made a prow t disposition of his Frigate and small Craft, while the l'rfinsports were diretted to makeosail toikards atroin2t considerably_ in frOnt of the Enemy's cohlinh, atla to make a` demonstration of landing there ; liis li pearance occasioned in - • the • first instance a bal# of the Enemy's coluinn, and in the: -neXt a chano of its ilireCtion towards "the mountains : Capt. poste as enabled, however, to open a brisk cinti6nade on his centre and rear - ~,Which appeared to b 5 ailedea' by it, and in an ItiStir's time occa sioned:those- parts •of his . c .

After we dispersion of'tbe Enemy in the mountains, - the Fleet made sail toWards-this place, his Apposed deqination, where the-Frigates and Transports came to anchor, after exchanging a few shot with the Citadel, at eight o'clock in the - evening. In the morning, we discovered that the Enemy's Army had not yet arrived, but, under an anxious expectation for their appearance, a disposition - was:, tnade with the Transports and Men of War to give him every possible annoyance ; and accordingly, having permitted him quietly to take up his position with-. in gun-shot, the Frigate's broadside was brought'to bear upon him, and in the space of half an hour completely dislodged and obliged him to take up a new position without the range of her guns in the mountains.

Several appearances in the French encampment concurring with other information I had received on the evening of the 27th, that the Enerny meditated a .tnove, I thought proper to detain , a,communication 1 had prepared for you on that day, until I could convey more decided intelligence on this important subjed.. 1 have now the utmost satisfa&ion in ac quainting you that the greatest part of the French Arrhy retreated - in a Northerly dire&ion from Co trone, , just before day-light. on the morning of the 26th-ult. Immediately on,obtaining this information I dis 7 patched Expresses to, the different Chiefs of the Masse, desiring them to concert arrangements for a close pui suit, and pointed out the many advantages they must have aver a flying and despirited Enemy in their mountains. have howeer not 'yet been able, through any source, to discover satiSfaaorily'by 'which of routes to the Northward he has retired. Some state it to 'he in the 'direction of Tarenturn, to join a n a ,SinAi Force in that province; others as posi tivelyas.sert'that he is endeavouring to pass by the Mountain's .

But several deserters who joined us' this m:)rning, having mentioned that the greatest part of this Force had . marched •to join their Army in the course hi the night, Capt. Hoste' agreed with'myself in theFi.uriety of summoning the Town and Cita del to Surrmider to the Force under our orders,' con , ceiving th-A- the immediate . pbssession of what we u,l,ierstood to be an Enemy's sole Depot and his der. nier resort in Lower Calabria, in point of position, together with the removal of his Stores, &c. might contribute to prevent the attempt of his army to re-enter that province. I have now the pleasure to 'inclose Copies of the Summons, and of the Terms of Capitulation finally !tgreed upon between us. I trust our judgment in, this proceeding will be confirnied by your approba tion: I shall find it, however, necessary to disembark a ttoirisiderable part of . my Battalion this day to cover "the evacuation of the Town .and Citadel, and to superintend the completion of the other Articles •of . the Capitulation. After which I shall immediately re-embark, and propose to make the best of my way WI _Messina- on the 2d or 3d of August, unless pre viously I may receive such information as may alter "my opinion, that the French. have completely evacu ated Lower Calabria for the present. I am sorry to say that a good deal of sickness has prevailed in the 78tri sinc. , , it sailed, in conse quence of their previous fatigues, and , that it has lost eight men. The disease is, however, not spread 'Mg ; and having appointed an Hospital Ship, I trast its progress will be completely checked. This -unpleasant circumstance will hasten my return to Messina, unless I receive contrary, instructions. The _number of Prisoners and Deserters now with `this Fleet amount to about 500; of which number otie halfand upwards are sick and wounded. The Eiiemy being, I believe, now completely 'driven from the Lower, if not both Calabrias, I can not resist this opportunity of offering my congratu btions'on so brilliant a result to the Expedition un - - del-taken - by-the Army " under yoUr Immediate" com mand, which cannot fail to be recorded in the Bri kibh Annals as •an-achievement of thefirst 'order. • • • I bare the honour to be, &c. - • (Signed) ' • P: IVPLEOD. niirir-Gereral Sir John Stuart, &c. &c.

L 0 N D 0 N, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, :806. WE received last night Paris and Dutch ,Papers, the former to the 41, and the latter to , the 6th. inst. They are unusually destitute of intelligence. The arrival ofJEttolF . 130NAPARTE:is officially announced in the Moniteur, accompanied,.;ls we expeaed, by a pompous detail of his achievements against the Com tnerce of Great Britain. The damage done by Ad- Miral GUILLkAUMEZ'S Squadron, from • the tirnt of its sai►ing, is estimated at 20 millions of livres ; but . nO particulars of the operations of that Squadron are given, lest it should throw a light . upOn its future Mission. The Mon' iteur preserves,the rriost profound silence respe&ing the pending Negotiat ion with this Colin , try, the refusal of the EMPEROR of RUSSIA to ra tify the Treaty signed by D'Oußtm, and even the arrival of the Messenger at P.aris from St_Peters burgh. The Dutch Papers, however, do 'venture t 6 state, that ". the EMPEROR of RUSSIA had started difficulties in ratifying the Treaty of,Peace ;"—and that" His Majesty wished for Peace on other terms." The private accounts received state,that the People of France are universally anxious for Peace. Deputations have been sent to BONAPARTE from many parts of the Country,partiFularly t he AV ine Provinces,- to represent to him that the harvests of the last two years now remain on hand,' and that there is no demand 'for them. It is even said, tN FoucHt, has laid before BONAPARTE a faithful piAure of the misery of the people, arising from the almost total stagnation of trade. • This morning a Goltrnburgh Mail reached town, by which we have received the following intelli - unce : , _ _ " VIGo, AUG. 14.-A Brig has just arrived here, dispatched by the Governor of the Carraccas, with the intelligence of MUIAsnA having effeaed a land ing in the Bay of Triste, with a force of near 4000 men. A COurier; was immediately dispatched to Madrid with the mews. GOTTENWORGH, MTG. 2g.—The last accounts received froth Stralsund state, that the Swedish Em bargo was taken off from all the Prussian Ports. Yesierday arrived the Prince of Wales Packet, Capt. DEANE, after an extraordinary passage of 78 hours, having on board the Russian General SA ULONKOFF and Suite." • We this morning received New York Papers to the Bth ult. but they contain no news of iinpo.rt-.. ance. We are happy, however, to find that there is no foundation for the report of the yellOwleyer - being prevalent in that City. • YESTERDAy•morning a Supplement to the Gazette • Extraordincry of Friday was published. It contains fortlicr details of the operations of the British Forces in the Calabrias after the glorious viEtory at Maida. The French Forces' were driven from both Upper and Lower Calabria, and of gOOO French Troops which were in those Provinces on the landing of the Briti4h Army, only 3000 have effe&ed their retreat. It is probable that when Generals REG WIER and VERDiER joined General MAssabrA -they would again advance ; but we can col:le& nothing of their proceedirigs from the French . Papers. They merely contain a general vague assertion, that " ac cording to the latest intelligence from Calabria, the whole of the Country from Laurier to Cosenza has returned to order." Mi. SHAW, the King's Messenger, arrived yes terday Morning, about seven o'clock, in a post chaise and four, with Dispatches from Lord LAtr- DERDALE in Paris. From the Foreign Office he , proceeded to Sir FRANCIS VINCENT'S house in Ar lington.street, whence the Dispatches were put in a box, and sent off with another Messenger (Mr. Ro=. umsoN) to Lord GRENVILLE, at Dropmore. About six o'clock in the afternoon the Messenger returned': from Lord GRENVILLE, with orders to summon a Council this day at one o'clock, to deliberate on thos contents of the Dispatches from Paris. Letters were therefore issued to all the Members accordingly, re qdiring their attendance atthe Foreign Office. Mr," PROUDMAN, a King's Messenger, arrived on Saturday morning, about eight o'clock, at the Foreign Office, from . St. Petersburgh. PROUDMAN took up another Messenger at the Foreign Office, and ordered hiS post-chaise to Sir FRANCIS VINCENT'S houses in Arlington-street, Piccadilly ; whence the second Messenger proceeded to Sir FRANCIS, at Holland House, Kensington. A cabinet Council was held this day, in conse. quence of the Dispatches 'brought yesterday from France by Mr. SHAW, the Messenger. Yesterday morning His MAJESTY, the DUKE of CAMBRIDGE, the Hon. A.
