VIENNA, JULY II. —This day seve
ral letters were received by Commer
cial Houses here from Sicily, which
flute that the Captain of a ship arrived
at Palermo, had made oath that there
had been an Action between the English
Squadron, under Sir J. B. Warren of
13 Ships of War, and that of the French
under Ad. Gantheaume, of seven ships
of War, and a number of Transports,
in which the English obtained a com
plete victory.
Admiral Warren, according to the
account given by this Capt. had re
ceived information that the French
squadron was at Mellina. He there
fore polled his fleet advantageously in
the channel between Naples and Sicily)
to receive that of the French, which
on its arrival there found itfelffurround
ed. and after a severe engagement, in
which the French loft several ships and
a great number of men, Admiral
Gantheaume finding no way to escape,
surrendered with all the remainder of
his fleet, ^hich was carried to Malta,
where 4 ships of the line, 3 frigates and
several thousand men, among whom
was the youngest Brother of the Chief
Consul Bonaparte had arrived. After
this complete victory, Admiral Warren
detached some ships to Ancona, as he
had received advice that there were
French ships in the Adriatic.
(Another Letter fame date.)
Within these three days there has been
much talk of an engagement having
taken place between the English squad
ron under Vice Admiral Warren, and
tie French under Ad. Gantheaume.
It is reported they met off the Coast of
Southern Calabri, at fy: distance of
some leagues from Cape Sportivento ;
that the action did not lull long, but
that the French ships of the line and
Frigates struck their Flags, and sur
rendered to superior force.
This intelligence has been received
by the Mailer of a small vessel arrived
at Terro-nuova, a port Situated on the
Southern fide of Sicily. He has de
posed with the customary forms, that
at the moment of his departure fronts
Malta, he saw the English Squadron
arrive there, confiding of Thirteen
flips of the Line and some Frigates,
bringing in the enemy's ships, on which
the BritiSh flag was flying. The-let
ters from 'ferra-nuova positively assert
that the Master of the veflel had offer
ed to the Governor of the Town to
confirm by an oath the truth of the in
telligence he had brought, and to un
dergo the most rigorous nunifhment
should it be found falfe.— (Gazette de
Hambourg.)
I have the honor to inform your Lordship,
that the French abandoned the position of El
Aft on the 7th of M^y, which we occupied the
fame evening, and on the 9th we advanced to
Rahmanich, where the French were polled with
upwards of 3000 infantry, and Bco cavalry.—
We at fiift imagined that they might have en^
deavored to have maintained that position, but
our corps on the Eastern Bank of the Nile,
having got into their rear, took the fort of Rah
manich in reverfc, which probably induced the
enemy to retire in the night between the. 9th
and loth, leaving a garrison in the Fort, which
Surrendered in the morning, amounting to 110
men, commanded by a Chef de Brigade ; we
also took the fame day about 50 cavalry, and 3
officers coming from Alexandria. As the ene
my retired towards Cairo, it became necessary
to fellow them, in order to cover the army of
the Grand Vizier, and to secure a junction with
the expelled reinforcements from India. Noth
ing happened of any importance until the 14th,
when we fell in with a valuable convoy of
germs on the Nile. They had come from Cairo
down the Canal of Mcnouff, which joins the
Damietta and Rosetta branches of the river —
From this circumstance, they new nothing of
the retreat of Gen.La Grange from Rahmanich.
About 150 prisoners fell into our hands, and
fevcral heavy guns, feme of them intended for
the defence of Alexandria. The convoy in it
lelf was very valuable, and is a very great loss
to the enemy. We found on board all kinds of
clothing, wine, spirits, &c. &c.and about £SOOO
in money. On the i,ch, when encamped at
Alkam, we were informed by the Arabs that a
(onfidcrablc body of French, coming from Alex
andria, were advancing towards the Nile, near
the spot where the boars of the Captain Pacha
then were. The cavalry were inmrediately
ordered out, with re 0 pieces of carnon. under

"The Sun," (a British MiniGerial
Paper) of a late date, fays "There
feerus to be a general exportation, that
the enemy will atempt the invasion
of Great Britain or Ireland." This
expectation is amply denoted by unpre
cedented measures of defence and secur
ity. ift, to confine the French to their
ports. 2d, should they get to fea,to at
tempt their early defeat. 3d,to prevent
their landing,faould they beableto cross
the channel. And 4th, to completely
repel them if they should be so far and
unexpectedly fuccefsful as to effect a
landing. Every officer and soldier has
been ordered to join the corps to which
he belongs. The troops are almost
incchantly exercised. They are taught
a variety ci new manoeuvres peculiary
adapted to repulse an invading enemy.
Gun boats and floating batteries are
arranged along theßritilh Coast. Every
vessel is equipping for service ; and
there is a general impressment of seamen
throughout the whole nation ; even
in London, where a similar occurrence
has net taken place fora number of
years, an impressment is allowed by the
Lord Mayor, on a particular applica
tion from the Government. The
French force defined to essay the inva
sion is supposed to be collecting at Dun

Several paragraphs in the foreign prints men

at Derna in Barca, between Tripoli and Egypt.
It is said 8000 men were there debarked, to
proceed from thence to reinforce Gen. Menou.
The French papers fay,that the nectffary march
can be performed in five days—although it will
be principally through deserts. .The British
minifteria! papers give no credit to the informa
tion. — — —

official accounts relating to the events mention
ed in the above. Coffier, where a part of the
Bombay detachment of troops have arrived, is
some distance from Suez. The French in Alex

Cairo ]
The French official accounts from Egypt, an
nounced the intention of attacking the Grand
Vizier on his march towards Cairo. The
French were fare of fuccels. Gen. Hutchin
son's dispatches shew that they were extremely
mistaken in their calculations.
Sir S. Smith in the Tiger, with five frigates,
were about to lad on a secret expedition, at the
date of the last accounts from Egypt. l
Rear-Admiral Lenois, with three fail of the
line, the Formidable, and Indomptable of 80,
the Defaix of 74, and the frigate Muiron, of 18
guns, after having given chace to the enemy's
fllips, which were cruizing on the coast of Pro
vence, appeared before Gibraltar, at the mo
ment when a British squadron of fix fail of the
line had arrived there. On the 14th of July,
Rear-Admiral Lenois had anchored in the Bay
of Algefiras, expecting to be attacked next
morning. in the night he landed the General
of Brigade Deveaus, with a part of the troops,
to man the batteries in the harbor. On the i fth
at 8 a. m. the cannonade commenced against the
6 English ships, which came without delay, and
brought their broadsides to bear within gunshot
of the French ships. The battle then began to
be warm. The two squadrons appeared to be
equally animated with the resolution of con
quering.
as he perceived the boats of the Captain Vacha
fufyeaed that our army mull be near, and
therefore retired into the Defart, where we fol
lowed him. The cavalry came up with him,
alter a march of about three hours. A flag of
truce was sent in to them, by Major Wilson, of
the Hompefch, requiring them to surrender, on
condition that their private property should be
refpe^ed, and that they mould be sent to
France by the firfl convenient opportunity.—
With these terms they complied, and laid down
their arms. They amounted in all, to about
600 men, infantry, cavalry, and artillery, to
gether with a considerable portion of the drom
edary corps, one 4 pounder, and 550 camels.—
The prisoners taken are all Frenchmen, and of
the bed troops they had in Egypt. On the 17th
of May 'the enemy retired from the Fort of
Lifhet on the Damietta branch, and formed a
junction with about zoo men, whom they had
at Barlos : this fort they also evacuated, and em
barked in five small vcffcls, four of which have
been taken, and carried into Aboukir Bay ; —
the fifth endeavored to escape towards Cyprus,
but a Turkish frigate was left in chace of her,
so that it is more than probable she has Shared
the fame fate. The garrisons of the two forts
confided of about 700 men ; so that in all we
have taken, from the 9th to the 20th, near 1600
men, which makes a considerable diminution of
the enemy's fotces in this country. The French
made a mod extraordinary rapid march from
Rahmanich to Gizar, where they arrived on
the 13th,and immediately eroded the rjver Bou
lac. On the ijih, they marched to attack the
Grand Vizier's army. His Highness anticipat
ed their intention, and made a formal move
ment with a considerable body of cavalry 011 the
night between the 15th and 16th. The armies
remained for some hours jn presence of each
other, when the Ottoman troops attacked at
about eight o'clock in the morning, and after
an a&ion of about 7 hours, the French retired,
having loft between 300 and 400 men, killed
and wounded. They were nearly the fame
people who had retreated from Rahmanich, and
were about 4000 or 4500 men.

FRENCH ACCOUNT.
INVASION.
THE undersigned haftensto commu
nicate to Citizen Talleyrand the com
mands he has just received from his
court.—His Majesty the Emperor of
all the Ruffias relying upon the Chief
Consul's love of justice, by which he
has obtained so great and so merited a
reputation, entertains the hope, thathe
will fulfil the engagements into which
he had entered with the late Emperor,
not to infill upon the hard conditions
to which the King of Naples had been
obliged to submit—The undesigned
thinks it his duty to remind Citizen Tal
leyrand, that the admidion of the five
articles, prefehted to the French Gov
ernment byway of anfwet to its pressing
reprefentatioris for opening a negocia
tion with Russia, was the only motive
for fending the undersigned to Paris.
The new inftrudions direct him to in
fill, that the said five articles, which
had been agreed upon as the basis of
the negociation, should receive their
speedy execution. By these articles the
two powers agreed that the King of
the two Sicilies and the King of Sardi
nia, fbould again be put in peffeffion of the
representative States Cich they pofeffed
before the entrance of the French troops in
to Italy. Citizen Talleyrand, Minister
of Foreign affairs, has been authorized
repeatedly to give the assurance that
the five articles were agreed to, and
that they would be carried into effect.
As, however, it has been seen, that by
force of arms the King of Naples has
been compelled tq^gree to other terms,
and as, in defiance of the most solemn
promises, to conclude a definitive peace
with the King of Sardinia, by which he
was azain to be ellabhfhed in his do
minions, it is evident that the latter is
excluded from his territories, there is
every reason to fufpcA and believe,that
unforefeen circumstances have changed
the intentions of the French Govern
ment, and inspired it with other views
and intentions, repugnant to the above
article's and nieafures which had' been
taken with his Majesty—The under
signed is commanded to represent to
( itizen Talleyrand, that without posi
tive certainty of the five articles allud
ed to, being carried into effect, and
which were acceded to by the Trench
Government as preliminaries, there
can be no restoration of harmony be
tween the two countries, and he there
fore declares, that neither the armistice
of Foligno, nor the conditions which in
the firft instance were presented to the
Marquis de Gallo, and which after
wards on the refufal of the latter to
agree to them, were transmitted to
Gen. Murat, to be signed by the Cheva
lier Micheroux, can ever be acknowl
edged by the Emperor, and that they
must ever be considered as diredly in
confillent with the promises made by the
Chief Consul.—This is the substance of
the commands whicb'the undersigned
has received, and which he has been di
rected to communicate to the Trench
Government. He must also add, that
the views, which the Chief Consul an
nounced, and his moderation which
was held out as directed to promote a
general peace, were the only grounds
on which all Europe entertained the
hope that the moment of that peace
was at no great distance; that it would
be permitted to look forward to the
future with tranquility ; andthat the
fyfiem of robbery taken up by the directory,
no longer exifcd. —These were the only
reasons that induced his Majesty the
Emperor to fend a Plenipotentiary to
Purify and through whom it was ex
pected that the relations of amity with
the Trench Government would be re
tlored. The undersigned flattered him
feli, that the Chief Consul, in his w;t
dom, would confidcr that his fame is
concerned in fulfilling the promises he
had made, and the hopes he had railed,
as it will depend upon him, by the rc
cilablifhment of a general peace, to
give repose to all Europe —He there
fore requests Citizen Talleyrand to
make known the contents of this note
I to the Chief Consul, and as Toon as pef
Hannibal, exposed to the fire of the batteries of
three French ships, which poured broad fidcs
upon her from both sides, also struck her flag.
At half past lithe English squadron cut their
cables and made fail. The Hannibal was tow
ed by the Formidable. Os her crew of 600,
300 were killed. The firft English ship of the
line which had struck her flag, was disengaged
by a great quantity of gun-boats, and other
embarkations sent from Gibralter. The battle
covers the French with glory, and proves what
they can do.
Rear-Admiral Lenois is at Cadis, with the
Hannibal to repair it.
We impatiently expend the account of the Infs
which each fliip sustained. [Moniteur,]

" In my left letter, dated 29th ult. I inform
ed you in the concluding part, that it was gen
erally supposed by the Millifters of this Coun
try, " that the French Government would net
ratify the Treaty." This supposition is fully
confirmed ; the French Government infill upon
the Portuguese receiving French and Spanish
garrisons in its Cities and Forts, as also on the
ctffion of the Province of Aigarva to Spain,—
'I he Portuguese . Government is making very
great exertions to defend kfelf. They are
working in the arsenal day and night, and the
greatest activity prevails in every branch cf the
War Department. The Government here dill
hope for fuccours from England—vain delusive
hope! Six Portuguese Sail of the Line are on
the eve of failing to join our Fleet off Cadiz ;
very large bounties are offered to seamen to &ulitl.
The Portuguese Government is become rich

from England, which arrived in the Anson
Frigate a few days since, has filled its coffers,
and w ill serve as pocket-money for General St.
Cyr, who, I informed you in my last, had in
veiled Almicda, and is now advancing towards
this place. His Head-quarters arc at Santarem,
about fifteen leagues from Lisbon. The Dug
D'Alfoeus, the Portuguese Commander in Chief,
has quirted his flrong position at Abrantes,
leaving a ftrerig Corps there under rhe com
mand of General Forbes (a Scotchman, many
years in the Portuguese service,) and is gone
with the main Army towards St. Cyr's Army,
and has taken a very favourable position to pre
vent a farther interruption if possible. The
French, Spanish, and Portuguese Negotiators,
itill continue at Padajon, where the King of
Spain also is, expelling to have met the Prince
of Portugal, had the Peace beep ratified. Not
withstanding these warlike appearances, there
is no doubt that Portugal mud make peace,
