THIS DAY AT,TINF.LVE O'CLC , CK. 6: Oinnium Consols - TILE SUN. - -6; 6 SOLZNI QUI3 DSCSAE FALSVM AUDSAT? LONDON, WI:DNESDAY, SEPTLMBEIZ .3, : sO6: THE Duke of Kent Packet, arrived at Falmouth, sailed from Tortola on the 2sth July : the 'Fleet (upwards of 200 Vessels) for Great Britain was to sail from thence on the Ist August, under convoy of His I\ilajesty's Ship -4gamenzuon, and three other .Men of War. A:hniral COPHRANE was to see them clear of the Island. WE have at length received an official account of the proceedings of the English Army in Calabria, published at Palermo by order of the KING of the Two SICILIES. These details; as fir as they go, do .not differ materially from those which we extraaed from the Leyden Paper on the 7th ult. It appears that the British Troops landed in the Bay of St.. Eu-, phemia on the Ist of July, uml , 2r the command ofGe lieral STEWART. The amount of the forCe landed is not mentioned, but it was probably not less than 4 or 5000 men." The French were not in sufficient force to oppose the landing, but about 430 of them made a stand in a thick. wood, within a 'mileand a half of the shore ; they were however soon clriven out, with very great loss,. The British . Army -continued to advance until the 4th, when General STEWART at tacked General REGNIE.Ii, who was at the head of 7000 Infantry and 300 Cavalry, and, after a.severe Aaion, completely defeated him. The loss of the French is estimated -at above 2000 men. In the account which we extradted from the LqdoGazette, i t was admitted that General REONIER was defeated, but the force he commanded was not represented as - - being so rumcrous, nor, of course, his loss so greg. With this the official account publ:..l:cd at Palermo concludes ; but the account in the I,eyd.o Paper stated-that General VERDIETI afterwards '(the date was not mentioned) attacked the British Army near Cosenza, and , completely routed them, and took 180.0 Prisoners. It was also.added, that mea sures were taken to cut off the retreat of the English, to their Ships. This Battle was represented to have been fought between the 4th and the , l.Oth July ; but as no official account has ever been given of it in the French Papers, we are warranted in concluding that the whole statement is unfounded. The last accounts, from Naples are as late as the 9th of August ; and if the 'English had sustained so complete a defeat as that mentioned, before - the Loth of July, of course they must either have surrendered or re embarked before the 9th of August ; and yet we only find in those accounts some general ru-. mours that the re-embarkatiob had taken place. Another circumstance which tends .?.ry strongly to prove that the British and the brave Calabrians have ,been successful, is, that - it has been deemed neces sary to send MAssENA with 25,000 men to oppose them. Sir SIDNEY SMITH has'again displayed his spirit of enterprize:: he ha.s taken the Castle of Amaniea, which he represents as almost inaccessible on the land side. The place was taken without the loss of a single man. THERE is strong reason to believe that the French have taken possession of Embden, notwithstanding the military preparations of the KING of PRUSSIA. The sailing of several , Ships, now in the River, fbr that Port, has been countermanded._ Bremen and Hamburgh will probably soon share the same fate. IN consequence of an Order, sent down . to Ply mouth on Sunday, the Transports, with the Troops on board that. composed the Expedition, weighed anchor early on Monday morning from the Sound, and went.iuto the Harbour, and the Twaps imme diately began to disembark. They are to be en camped on Roborough, Mickland, and Biekleigh . Downs. No Aresrrger n had arrived from the Continent when this Paper was put to Press.

' ' By the New York Papers down to She ad of Au gust, it appears that New-York never was inure healthful. The report of the. re-appearance of the yellow fiver, circulated here last' week, we may therefore say was a wicked- tabficatiutt for sonic in terested purpose, • We haye..received a Letter from Bahia, South America, dated 12th June. Aftq giving an account of the arrival of Admiral GUI LLEAUHsI EZ and JE,RONIE BONAPARTE on that Coast, and then sailing for the West -Indies, it thus proceeds " A second French Squadron, having committed many. depredations on the Coast of Africa, taking up wards of twenty - Sail, which were destroyed, reach ed this part on the 28th April. It consisted of one Ship of the Line and two large Frigates, with three English Ships, which were armed. One of these last, called the Plover, v.as destroyed here. Near One thousand Slaves Were brought, and sold by the, Squadron. They sailed the ISt of June. :The three Men of War are to cruize in the track of the Island of St. Helena. One of the armed ,Faiglish Ships, called the FavoUrite, went to Cayenne ; and The other, for merly called the Otter,' Gtlii)Ca Wan, now the Alert, to the Leeward blanch.. . An account from I.T4linique states, that JERomp. BONAPARTE sent a challotge to .COCURA NE, to fight in their respeai , ):.: vesseli, which tho latter accepted, and pledged his hono9r that no other Bri tish Ship should interfere.. It is evident, however, that Brother JEROME has adopted a much safer me thod of cGvering himself with g lory, by a dastardly retreat from the West Indies, VICTORY IX C,II,ABRIA.. • r OFFI'CIAL ACAU-NO. • MESS IN AJu A:Y s.—We 114 e litnt by ti Brit ti%ll Sinop of War the Bittern, commandedby Capt. Do wN, the. happy intelligence of the landing of the British Army, on . tn- ist Tii.sTnif:ririaei -- . the orders of Major-GLneral Sir Euphemia, without any loss on our'side^. - This Sloop has brought with her:a number of French prisoners. We have xeceived the following particulars of the landing : " [lead-Quarters, Nicastro, 3d July, tBO6. The Army landed without opposition, on the lst instant, in the. morning. The advanced guard, consisting of three companies of Light Infantry and some Grenadiers, was sent forward to recanoitre a thick wood about a mile and a half from the shore, Where they found about 400 French, who were pursued and dispersed by our Troops, and about half .of them taken prisoners. They lost about forty in killed and wounded. Ouronly loss was one Serjeant of the 58th Regiment, wounded. It is probable that the Army will advance this even ing to attack the Enemy. The peasants flock in crowds to our 'Artrw, - Three thousand brave Ca-. labrians at least have joined us. Their number in creases every moment. The Enemy is retreating, it is rupposed for the purpOse of 'concentrating their Troops. The Condit& of the peasants of Nicastro is_ *artily of being made public. After having sup plied the Army with provisions they refused to re ceive any payment for then, observing, that as the. English came to rescue them from the tyranny of the French, by whoM they had been, a short time before, robbed of: their property, it was their wish that the Army which came.to their assistance should.. be supported with a part of their plentiful harvest. His Excellency General STUART several times at tempted in vain to prevail upon them to take pay- ment for their provisions, and it was with difficulty that he could prevail upon-them to take receipts fo't the necessaries they had supplied., • , . " Nothing , can equal the enthusiasm with which the Calabrians received their deliverers, and the zeal with which they pressed forward to offer not only their serisices, but their lives, to re-conquer the kingdom of their well-beloved and lawful So-. vereign FREDINAND the Fouarn. Nothing but red cockades are seen in the hats of the peasants. " Immediately after the landing of the English Army General STUART published a Proclamation. inviting the Calabrians to shake off the 'yoke of the French. He told them that the standard of Fan- DIN AND IV. was again displayed on their. shores, ; that nothing. was required of them but accommo dation—that no contribution would be demanded— that all provisions supplied should be punCtually paid for—that they should receive arms and am munition for their own defence—that their laws and customs should be maintained-their religion and Catholic worship should be honoured and re spthed—and that . those who might have erred, or have .been seduced by the Government of the Usurper, should, on delivering up their arms, be par doned and proteCted. " Several Transports, with French Prisoners, ar rived yesterday from the Gulph of St. Euphetnia, which, after having landed the prisoners, sailed again instantly with reinforcements for the Army." following letter was also received this morn ing from Rear-Admiral Sir SIDNEY SMITH : " CASTLE OF AMANTEA, JULY 2, .11306. We have taken this fortress, having attacked it by sea, as it was too perpendicular' on _ the land side, and consequently inaccessible. The French, having one lost, it, will find it difficult to retake it. The little. blond which has 'been shed in this affair must always be regretted ; but it is on the -side of the enemy : not one of our people received a scratch. , The two divisions of Melazzo and Capri have behaved extremely well. Eight cannons spik ed, two standards, and four hundred prisoners,' and arms and ammunition Sufficient to enable the brave subjects of his Sicilian Majesty to arm them selves and 'to follow up their successes, are the trophies and the' fruit of the aelion of yesterday: I 'have learnt witbsatisfaaion that the English Artriy approaches Nicastro. Our prOspeals are good on' every site. The army landed under the proteaion Of a frigate, at the same time that we were taking Amantea. We haVe sptead alarm through a con siderable part of the coast. • (Signed) " W. SIDNEY SMITH." OFFICIAL INTELLIGENCE., BRITISH ARMY IN CALABRIA. " PALERMO, JULY express sent by the Governor of Messina to Palermo, to the Minister of State for the War and Marine Department, Colonel CoLAJANNI, with letters of the 7th instant, the agreeable news has been received in a letter written , by Geneial STUART, dated from the Phieof St. I!:uphernia, to Brigadier Ilitontticx, commanding the citadel Qf Messina : the sth of the same month, of a complete vi&ory gain-d on the prececlinv (lay by . the British Army in Calabria, over the French Army, commanded by General REeNIER, which letter is to the following purport : , 4 Plain of St. Euphemia, July s. I trouble you with these few hues to inform you of the satisfa6tory . circumstance ,of my having yesterday attacked and entirely defeated General REGNIER, after an obstinate a&ion, iri the plain of St. Euphemia. The . Enemy, according to all the. accounts received, amounted to 7000 Infantry, and upwards of 300 Cavalry, with four pieces of Artil lery. Their loSt in killed, wounded, and prisoners, according to the intelligence we have received, is, upwards of 2000 men ; but as many prisoners con tinually arrive, who have been dispersed in the neighbouring mountains, and as their defeat has been general, there can be no doubt but there might, be added another thousand ,men. It is impossible to describe what our brave troops have undertaken and executed. I have taken General COMPERE, with several other Officers, of rank prisoners. If I had but the few of the 20th Regithent of Dragoons mounted that I left behind me at Messina, not a soul would have escaped. I am' happy to inform you,. that in this serious aaion our loss has been comparatively small. An Officer and forty men *ere killed ; 'eleven Officers and 2.50 men-were wounded. Capt. MACLEAN, of the loth Foot, was unfortunately killed. - - €. Colonel Ross, with the 20th Regiment of Foot landed during, the thion; and . ' joined us, rendering us thereby an essential service at a very critical Believe me,. moment. P. S. General REGNIER retired with the re niains of his Army .towards Catanzaro, and I have detached Colonels and Ross in pursuit of him. The French Light Infantry, and, our Rana lions came to' the : bayonet ; and the. former were almost totally destroyed? Jll3l KINGSTON, JUNE 14. Arrived the • Gijpsey Schooner, oflo guns, Lieut. HALL, from a cruize, and brought in with her the Spanish Brig Felix, of 14 six-pounders, and 32 men, which she captured on. the sth inst. off Roco, after an engagement of one hour; she was from Laguita, bound to Cadiz, with a cargo of cote, cocoa, &c. and had only been Out one day. The Giptain and one man belonging to the Brig were killed, and .one wounded. We are happy to, add, that not one man was killed on bOard the Gypsey. Li:outrl7l - nt HALL 'Ms -been raised to the rank of Cominander, and appointed to La Diligence Brig, of 16 guns, lately captured by Le Renard; Sloop of War. A Spanish `Schooner laden with mahogany, a prize to the' Serpoit. Sloop of \,:tr, arrived ott Tuesday. JULY 4.—The Flag of Vice-Admiral D ACRES has been shifted from on board the Shark Slob') of War to La Mignonne Brig : an unfortunate accident having nearly occurred to the: former Vessel, some time last week, from her seams being ,;n want of caulking, she filled with water so fast, thathad not timely assistance been rendered' by the different boats, of his Majesty's Ships at Port Royal, she Would have inevitably sunk. Lieut. COOTE, Of the Royal Navy, arrived in this city on Sunday, with dispatches from Capt. PARKIY• sox, of the Merlin Sloop of War, to Vice'-Admiral DACREs, confirming the arrival of a French Squadron to windward : be landed on Friday evening at Port Maria, from on board the Ship Ann, Capt. ATKINS, from Barbadoes. In consequence of this intelligence, ,the Fisgard : Frigaw sailed from Port Royal *on the day following, to...reinforce the Squadron under Rear- Admiral the Hon. Sir ALEXANDRE COCIIRANE, K. B. She is to proceed through the Mona Passage, and to - direCt La Magicienne Frigate, of 36 guns, to return into port immediately. The Lark Sloop arrived. on Wednesday in eight days from Bar badoes„ with the Vessels from the London Fleet for this Port. By a recent arrival - from St. Domingo we learn, that the French Admiral LESSEIGUES, COmmander in Chief in the late action off that place, has left the Island in an American Vessel bound :to Baltimore. The same authority states, that a communication had been received:by General FERR A ND, acquainting him of, the arrival of one Line of Battle Ship .(Veteran) at Martinique, the forerunner of a considerable re inforcement, and that an embargo had been laid on all Vessels for ten days. A letter from Barbadoes, received at Montego Bay, states, ,that the Lilly Sloop of War, and two Gun- Brigs, were to accompany General MI RANDA on his intended Expedition against the Spanish Colonies in South America. • The following Ships are left at Falmouth, not being able to join the convoy :—Sheddens, MA C• DONALD ; John and Thomas, CL ARK ; C oncor d, READ ; ilfftry and SUSaibla, CLARK, and Echo, WILSON, for London ; Richard, PluuN ; James, BRADSHAW, and Sussex, HALL, for LiverpOol. JULY 12.—La Franchese Frigate; of 36 guns, and the Pitt Schooner,' arrived on Wednesday from a cruize. The former Vessel brouglit in with, her a Spanish Privateer Schooner, captured off Laguira during her cruize. We understand she captured several other vessels of a similar class. On the 4th instant the Union spoke 'a Sloop of War from this Island, anti learnt from her that she had a few days before fallen .in with an American Vessel, which had seen three French Frigates pass through tbe Mona passage, steering to the .South ward. We are inclined to think that this Squadron of Frigates is that which sailed from L'Orient on the 27th of March : those from-Cadiz having been left in the latitude of Bermuda on the Ist t4t. on their return to Europe.
