Oar Plymouth Letter. stated the arrival there of the Mars, with her Prize Le Rhin, a French Frigate, the capture-of which we stated yesterday. After a, chase of 200 miles, the Enemy struck without mak ing any' resistance. Le Rhin was in company with, the Tainisc, Harmonic, and Horten.se French Frigates,. returning, front the 'West Indies.' The three last Mentioned-Vriptgs very: bravely sheered off. T.l`ii4Suceess, from Newfoundland, part of a Fleet of thirteen Sail undeit Convoy, of the Ratt.W Sloop ofWar, arrived at Poole yesterday. She left St. John's on the 20th ult. and parted company in a gale. of wind. The Master of this Vessel, in con firmation of a report circulated some days since, st;.tes, that an American Frigate, in consequence of ome provocation, had been fired into by one of our Frigates, taken possession of, and sent for Halifax. He 'also states, that two American Vessels, a Ship and h Schooner, had likewise been detained by the English Frigate, and sent into St: John's. Not knowing any of the circumstances rsnpeaing the de tentiou of the American Frigate above alluded to; and the American Papers to the 14th ult. from ~ vhiCh we gave Extraas yesterday, being totally si lent upon the subje&, it is impossible ,for, us to say more upon it at present than' merely to announce what is • stated in our Correspondent's Letter. The Fishery at Newfoundland' had coma - Imbed, under the most favourable auspices. WE yesterday stopped the Press to annotince the . ; arrival of Dutch Papers to the 2d inst. containing , Paris news to the 27th ult. The articles we extraCied being, of course,• only inserted in a part of our im pression, we this'day re-insert them. In the course of the eveuing we received further Dutch Journals to the sth instant, and also Paris. Papers to the Ist, The account of the Battle in Calabria, we have not the least_ doubt, is greatly exaggerated. It is not. at all probable that 6000 of our Troops could be spared florin Sicily to.make a descent in Calabria, or ,if they had landed and been joined by the num ber of Calabriatis stated in the French account, that t -v could have been defeated in the easy manner which the French would have us believe. Nei fler' is it probable that an English Force, landing in Calabria, would have advanced so far into the Country as to render their return to then: Vessels in any event a matter of doubt. This of which the French give so pompous an account, will .probably. turn out to be nothing more than - the landing of a comparatively small detachment of our Troops, who, having effeded the purpose for which they landed, returned to their Vessels; whilst their thus quitting the Country might be very easily distorted. by:the French into a victory gained on their part. It is evident, however, from the French k colut of this AOion, of whatever nature it was, that the brave Calabrians are in a state of insur v.aion against the new King of Naples; or, in . other words, remain faithful to. their lawful Sove reign ; they are of course treated by their French masters with the greatest cruelty and barbarity. It is also clearly to be discovered, from the same source, that the French are in no condition to make an at tack Upon Sicily; but, on the contrary, even,find it difficult to maintain themselves in the continental territories of Naples. Tile Fortress of Gaeta, after a defence, the bravery gal!4ntry of which may vie with any recorded in history, - has at length been forced to surrender. , After firing upOn it almost incessantly front the 7th to the t Bth ult. the Eiieniy effeEted a pra&icable breach, and were on the point of making an as sault when. the Galrison demanded to capitulate. Articles of Capitulation were signed, and the Garrison were to. embark 'the next day. The brave Commandant, the Prince of HESSE, who is said to have been severely-wounded,ris stated to have gone on board ,an Ep lash ,Vrigate previous to the surrender of the place. A lon g , account is giveh in the Moniteur of the raising the Seige. of Ragusa, in which . we are told that .16,000 Russians, Greeks, and Montenegrins, were totally.defeated by the French Gen. 141ouToR, an.l driven to.the mountains, with the loss of only two killed and seven wounded on the part of the French. It is singular that, after obtaining these miraculous vi&ories, the French are unable to ad- vance a step, whilst their opponents return to the combat with renewed vigour. N. D'OUBRIL, almost 'immediately after con .•:-.luding the . Treaty between Russia and France, set off with it in great haste for St. Petersburg!), in or , der to lax, it jetcre the. Ruffs an Cabinet for ratifica tion. .4114 1. 4 , at the so.r_ne moment we hear of the Treaty A4eration COl)auded • Nvith France by several 'of ttfCGerman Princes, by which the latter are to bre separated from the Germanic Body, and that &IP`OI.EDN had _countermanded the orders for, sending a number of recruits from the depots in France to strengthen his Armies in Germany. Are we to conclude from this that BONAPARTE was afraid that RuSsia would oppose the execution of his new plans in Germany, and that the Russian Treaty has quieted his fears ? - Last night we received the Hamburg' Correspon denten. of the 30th ult. which 'anticipates the first of the Hamburgh It is singular that almost every .sncceeding account from the Continent states new difficulties to have arisen respeding the, surrender of Cataro. Letters from Vienna of the 2 Ist ult. mention, that the Russian Cominandant had refused to deliver up ;he place in ,consequence of Ragusa having been occupied by the French. Other accounts state, that Cataro was, on the departure of the Russians, occupied by the Mon tenegrins, who, it has already 'been proved, are decidedly hostile to the French, and whom the lat ter will not find it an easy task to overcome. The French, indeed, seem almost to despair of obtaining this place, and rely, according to the Paris Papers, up on the 'exertions of some sea or description of persons who are to take possession of the place- and keep it for them, but who those persons are the Paris—Pa pers do not condescend to inform their - Readers ; pro bably for the best of all reasons, because they do not themselves know. The Hamburgh Paper confirms the statement in the Paris Journals relative to the Treaty of Fede ration between France and certain Princes of Ger- many. THE Funds maintain the prices to-day at which they left off yesterday. Mr. Fox is as well as could reasonably be ex peCted after the operation which he yesterday en dured. It has at least had the good effect of reliev ing his mind 'as well as' his body, and has much increased the hopes of his friends. Yesterday His MAJESTY, the DUKE of KENT, PRINCESSES AUGUSTA, SOPHIA, and AMELIA, ac companied by Lord WALSINGHAM, Sir H. B. NEALE, Lady A: CUMBERLANP, Generals CARTWRIGHT and FITZROY, Colonels DESEROW and TAYLOR, took an airing on horseback in Windsor Park. Yesterday her Royal Highness the PRINCESS AMELIA,' the youngest Daughter of Then' MA JESTIES, completed her twenty-third year. Her MAJESTY received the compliments of the Nobility as usual upon such occasions; In the evening the different trades-people of her Royal Highness il luminated. The variegated foil at -the back of the lamps at Michel's, the Artificial Florist, in Dover street, had a very grand effeCt. . His Royal flightless the DUKE of GLOUCESTER is at present in Lancashire, upon a tour through his Military Distria. His' Royal Highness the Prince of WALE 3 arrived at one o'clock yesterday morning, in - town, from Brighton. His Royal Highness the Duke of CUMBERLAND is expeEted iii town to-marrow, from Winchester. Baron JACOBI, the Prussian Minister, is expeCted to leave this - country on Monday next. M. BALAU Will still remain here in his official charaCter of Se cretary .of Legation ; it is expected that his Excel lency will soon return to this,country. A Board was yesterday held at the'Admiralty for the admission of invalid Sea Men into the - Royal Hospital of Greenwich. All order was yesterday issued by the Transport Board for engaging any number of Vessels that can be obtained, which are to be provisioned for a, three months' service. Yesterday afternoon, between five and six o'clock, a single highwayman stopped a' carriage between the Spaniards and Highgate, and robbed a Lady, and Gentleman who were in it. He afterwards rode slowly towards Hendon. The alarm being given at, Highgate, two persons onhorscback'pursued him, and he was taken in the village of Hendon. He was a young man, apparently not sewnteen years. of age. _ ' • Lord DARLINGTON runs his horse Pavilion, at the next Brighton and Lewes Races, - akainsi Mr. KEL- Lisx's Czar Peter, and, Sir J.

" Orders had been dispatched to the interior of the Empire, to put in motion the several Depbts of the Empire, and to send them to the Grand Army, in order to complete all the Regiments ; but instant ly on the Peace with Russia, the Emperor wrote a letter to t!le Minister at War, informing him, that all the movements of the Troops from the In terior to Germany were to be suspended."—Moni teur, 25th July. PARIS, JULY On the 6th inst. General LAURISTON departed from Ragusa, and General MOLITOR from Stagno. They placed a Corps of. Russian Troops and Montenegrins bet...veen two fires, 'killed great numbers of them, drove them from the State of Ragusa, and pursued them to the Mountain of Montenegro, taking a ,quantity of Ord nance and ammunition. _ • " The Montenegrins have committed the most dreadful barbarities on the poor inhabitantS •of ,Canale and of the Province of Ragusa, during the time that-the French Troops, shut up in that Citadel, left Lherifinl'aters of several Provinces. The Rua-. skins have re-embarked, and sailed for Corfu. " It is said, but the intelligence is not authentic, that the inhabitants of the Latih Church have pos sessed theniselves of the Fortress Of Cataro, and de fended' it against the Greeks and Montenegrins., The Latins are very great advocates for 'the'French." (dio niteur) • JULY 28.—The Siege of Gaeta commenced on the 7th instant.. The firing continued incessantly to the , . _ 18th. At four o'clock in the afternoon thebreach in the place and. in. the citadel was prgtiCable, Gaeta was on . the point of being carried by assaulti: when the Garrison demanded to capitulate, and surrendered in sight of an English Squadron of six Men of War e The particulars of the siege - shall be conimuni 7 cated. The Troops have hewn the greatest a&ivity . and constancy. During these few days upwards of 800,0001 b. of gunpowder have been fired. The fa cility of supplying the garrison by sea has contributed. to prolong its defence, which lasted . eleven days af ter the opning of the trenches. M. POUBRIL.,- Envoy from the Emperor of RUSSIA, passed through Nancy on the 24th; on his way to St. Petersburgh. He was authorised .to li berate one of the Russian prisoners at Lnneville, for the purpose of sending him w4h dispatches to Italy. • (M. D'O.tams, passed through Frankfort on the 25th.)

He therefcre judged it proper to shut himself up in the town of Ik.gusa.— This place yva speedily invested. General LAU.

He had pro- ' cured provisions for six months,, and ' was abun dantly provided with warlike stores, .The Monte,- negrins spread themselves over .the Ragusa') ter ritory, and there committed the most horrible 'ex cesses. Nothing could equal the rage which these Greek Set ( L)ries displayed towards the Christians and the inhabitants of the Republic of RaguSa. 'The women were violated, infants burned, and the old men beheaded. After twenty days of block ade, the Russians and Montenegrins commenc ed the siege. . Twenty pieces of cannon were land ed, as well as mortars : the cannonade and bom bardment lasted seventeen days. The RaguSans gave rilli every assistance which circu a nces demanded, with a devotion and a&ivity witho example. They knew that the Montenegrins would murder them all. They discovered for the French an attachment ex tremely affeding. Their houses were destroyed by the bombs, Without their zeal being either altered or diminished.
