The PRINCEUES too, who are always emulous to perform a&s of kindn'esi and benevolence, sent several 'elegant articles to the young Lady on the same oc— camon, and the whole was given with such interest ing condescension and gracious affability as to make even " rich gifts waxpoor," in comparison with the' endearing Manner in which they were presented.

Gener4l KUTUSOW and Prince BAGRATHION are departed front St. .Petersburgh to the army. The King of Sweden, who is returned to Sweden, is expeeted back in 14 days in Pomerania. The Swedish force in Lauenburgh increases, and a junc tion with the Prussians is talked of For these three days past a report has been in general circulation here, that the English having landed again with considerable reinforcements in Calabria, had, supported 'by the inhabitants, sur rounded and totally defeated and cut to pieces the Army of General'MAssENA. The French accounts from Naples, up to the sth instant, positively assert that the English have all returned to Sicily, retain ing only the fortress of Scilla or Sciglio, and that all the rest of the' Country is in the hands of, the French.. Our letters from Paris speak of war as inevitable. Transports of ammunition and artillery are conti nually in expedition for. Germany. His Swedish Majesty experienced a storm in his passage to Sweden, and lauded from a fishing boat with ale Officer in attendance, Count DE LA DIE. His Majesty travelled from Trelleburgh, where he landed., on horseback, without any escort what ever, through Mahno, Lund, and Christianstadt, _to Bekaskog, where he arrivcd on the 15th, at three quarters past eleven at night.

NAPLES, SEPT. 5..---Vesuvius has been at rest since the end of June.

The Two Calabrias,those fruitful and hitherto lord ly Countries, are now almost universally reduced to a desert. At Castel Nuovo, not a day passes but some rebels, principally Monks, are executed before the place. All the prisons are full of them. Here, in the metropolis, we have some quiet and Order.

(FROM A PAPER CALLED THE FREE SPIRIT.) BERLIN, SEPT. 20.—One of the - most gratifying. sights to patriotism was yesterday afforded- by. the march of the troops from Pomerania 'to join the Grand Army in Saxony. Yesterday the Queen's Regiment of Dragoons .passed through, "the same . that so gloriously determined' the first battle. fought by FREDERICK the Great—that at Molwitz. It is the strongest Regiment in the service, consisting of ten Squadrons, the whOle of them picked men; ad 2 mirably mounted, full of fire, and of the agility de- . rived from constant discipline. The Officers, dined with the Queen at Charlottenburgh ; the Privates had presents.' Yesterday some Grenadier Battalions entered, which Move onwards to-morrow. The diScipline, the_ determined spirit, and the eagerness to engage of the Prnssian troops, is not td be imagined, except by those who are witnesses of it.

A Boat crime alongside 'the 'Juno, and Sete-, ral Frenclime.n,'Of the new Municipality, went, on board... they were asked for news, and perceiving the .mistake that still rdigiled,.they conversed with Capt. HOOD, as they were under the British Go vernment., ''Vortunately, the tri-coloured cockade in one of their hats caught his eye, and he pereeive;t the treacherous tendency , of their visit. - With great. presence of mind - , he ordered some refteshments to be :set before them, Went on deck and communicated te• the Officers and Crew the situation of the Ship, (.11 ruing them to slip the cable, and make every possi ble exertion to sail out of the Harbour. This he etfeaed, in defiance of a heayy cannonade from, the fort and batleriei, as he passed, and soon af ter joined the Fleet under the command of Lord 1, HOOD. Previous to the attack on the French Line in the Bay of Aboukir the Admiral hailed Capt. HOOD to inquire if he thought there was SufficiOit depth of water for our Ships, between he Enemy and the shore ?—Captain Hoon said he did not kno*, but, with the Admiral's permission, he would lead in and try. Ttie Goliath, however, being the fastest sailer, and'having the start, first gained the post of honour. . . 'The Zealous, of 74 guns, Captain HOOD, had the honour of being the second Ship that led inside between the _Enemy and the land, and to receive ; with the Goliath, the first fire from the van Shipsa the Enemy, as wei.l . as from the batteries and Gun boats with which their Van was strengthened ; these two Ships, with the Orion, Audacious . , and Theseus; . took their stations itiside the Enemys Line, and were immediately in close a6lion. At the close of the Battle Le Genereur ,and Guillauine Tell, with the, two Frigates Le Justice and Le Diane, cut their Cables and stood out to sea, pur;sned by the Zettious, Captain Hoop, who handsomely, endeavoured to prevent their escape; but, as there was no othet: . ;,.Ship in a condition to support the Zealous, she was 14e-called. On the isth Of Aug-List, hating, fitted the Ships of his Fleet and Prizes, in the best manner the Stores which he had Would permit, .the Admiral sailed from the Bay of Aboukir, leaving Captain SAMUEL Hoop, with four Sail of the .Line and two Frigates, to block up the Port of Aleiandria, and to intercept any supplies which might be sent to the French Army. Captain Hoop was next engaged in co-operating in the expulsion of the French from the Roman ter:- ritory ; and, in 1801, commanded the Venerable, one of the Ships of the Squadron under SirJ4mEs SAUMA,REZ. In the engagement off AlgeSiris, lie particularly distinguished himself, by pursuitia b and bringing to a&ion the Formidable, a French Ship of 84 guns, which he had nearly silenced, when his' mainmast was shot away. .ThiS accident enabled his antagonist to escape. 4 The highest -praise," says Sir JAMES SAUMARZ, in his letter to the Ad miralty on this ocejsioti," is due to Capt. Hood, the Officers and Men of the Venerable, for their spirit -end gallantry in the aetion, which entitled them tq better success."--On the renewal of libstilities, in 1803,• Captain Hoop was appointed Cointhanderin Chief on the Leeward Island Station, with the rank Of Commodoie,sand was employed, in conjunaiori with Genera GRINVIELD, hi the reduction of the Dutch' Colonies of Berbice, betrierira,, 'a* Isse quibo. For his. services in the Mediterranean, he was honoured, by the King of the 'Two Sicilies, with the Order Of St. Feidinand and of Merit; and for his gallant and theritoi-iohs condu& while corn madding the Zealous in the ever-memorable Battle off the Nile, he washopOured With the Red Ribband of the Order Of ifie THANKS TO LIEUT.-GEN.
