We have received a series of The Leyden Ga7elte,
to the 13th instant, from which we have made se-
ver-Al tetrads. The latest account from Naples is
dated the 14th last. It contains a decree izr the
purpose of restoring internal tranquillity, which
thews mire clearly than a volume of evidence, the
Lf„.med and perturbed state of that unfortunate
vino!) y. Several parts of Calabria have been laid
wasre by fire and swcrd ; lint as these gleans have
not been found adequate to the end, the mild and
.merrefed Justin has called in the aid of secret tribu. •
nals, to upply tl.e deficiency. He has established
a cruel and sanguinary Inquisition, and the loyalist,
liltho has escaped the Ire and the stwatd at the mi.
litary, is thus reserved to endure the agsravatoel
horrors of a mock tt'al, to be butchered in cold
blood. A letter from Cailsruhe,• of the
August, repeats, in the most specific terms, the
receipt of an order for the return of the grand army
to France, and. of the Austrian pristine!, to their
respdtive homes ; but, although we find other ar.
tides of a similar import, we cannot believe that, in.
the present state of the Continent, nom se•ars
riously intends to evacuate German;..
Gaeta hat fallen, but the PRINCE, Will so bravely
defended it, will ever prove an 0: jolt of interest.
A letter respelling him, from Rome, to the fol-
lowing effeo, has been received at Philipstlaal :—" A
person of veracity, belonging to the suite of Prince
Lewis of Hesse PHSI IPSTHAL, his arrived in
this city. H. left the Prinee on board an English
ship on the 20th of July, at which time his surgeons
had declared him out of danger. The French ea-
tered the fortress so abruptly, that all the Prince's
circa, could not he removed, and his carriages and
horses were sent off toNaples. The reports circulated
in some of the Newspapers, that he had thrown
a female into the sea, that he had stabbed his valet,
killed his adjutant, and kept by him a dose of poison,
are unfounded. The garrison of Gaeta consisted
principally of galley slaves, who deserted in great
numbers In the sallies. The few soldiers were
partly of the third battalion, and partly raw recruits,
unfit for every thing, and especially for a sally."

It blew a violent gale from the North, on Sunday
night, which. we fear, has done much damage. A
letter from Liverpool, dated on Monday, contains
the melancholy intelligence of the loss of the J►iug
George packet, of and from Parkgate, for Dublin, on
the preceding night. The King George had upwards
of 10 passengers on board, all of whom, with the
crew. except three or four, are said to have perished.
This melancholy accident is stated to have taken
place near Hoyle Bank, to the south of the River
Dee. The letter from Liverpool, containing these
circumstances, was received yesterday at Lloyd's ;
and, as far u we have been able to learn. is the only
authority. The relation did not yesterday receive
implicit credit, but we are concerned to state. that
some of tine circumstances relied upon by those who
doubt the report, have not much real weig::t.-
Imang these, the alleged number of passengers has
