The Toulon fleet sailed the 15th of January la*
having on board a body of troops under the command
of General Lauriston. After being fourdept at sea,
it was overtaken by a violent stone, which compel-
led it to return to port. A ship of the • hie and
three frigates bad parted from the Meet. The hi-
gaee la Cornelia, which had cast anchor iwthe port of
Genoa, and the ship of the line which had sailed
for Ajaccio, are already arrived at Tomb*. The
frigates l'Hureersse and elecerreptikie have bile more
fortunate; they fell in with an F.nglisb merchant
fleet of 40 sail, and took or destroyed the whole of
them. Two large corvettes, which convoyed this
fleet, abet& into oar bands, after an engagement,
which contineed an hoer. L'llerfenft and :410•-• • -
riplible have put into a Spanish port, where they
scot 5 or 600 prisoners on

Three days ago a French fleet of t I ships of the
line, seven frigates, and two brigs, sailed from
Toulon. Its destination is unknown It has be-
tween S and 9,000 land troops on beard, and is
provisioned for a long time. It appeat, as yet to
have escaped the fleet of .Admiral Nelson, by which
it has long been blockaded.

The Italian Republic will soon be suppressed.

What has been said in some of the public j,,urnals
of the destination of the eldest son of the heteditary
Prince of Orange, find no credit even in the tei ro-

is an officer in she Prussian service.

Sovereign Pontiff, and other persons of distieiction,
who are ex peded to arrive here in a short time. The
patac, s tlf Government, and other edifices, are fit-
ting up on the occasion. The greater part of the
troops now here will leave the city, to make room
for the Imperial guard, as well as other corps, that
are on t;leir march for Milan.

The Eledoral Colleges have been convoked for
the Ist of this month.

TIONTIEIS OF ITALY, TEL 2.
On the 29th of January, it was announced to the
French garrison of (Italian) Verona, that the Em-
peror Napoleon, the Pope, and l'rince Joseph,
would arrive at Milan in the course of the month
of February. Else latter will be en-paned King of
Lombardy, and consecrated by the Pope. A great
number of French troops are on their march, to be
Feint at this event.

NAPLES, JAN. 10.
Prince Cardilo, last Neapolitan Envoy to Copen-
hagen, has been lately sent to General St. Cyr, and
the Court appears to be perfealy well satisfied with
the result of his mission. It is understood that the
French General has declared that he will not pass
the stipulated line of demarcation, so long as the
foreign troops in the vicinity shall make no hostile
movements.

PER. 4.

On the 28th of January, the fleet of Admiral
Nelson, consisting of 12 ships of the line, two of
which were three-deckers, and five frigates, appear-
ed before Palermo. A frigate advanced, and sent
off a boat, which landed an officer, with a parcel
for General Amon, and a letter for the English
banker Gibbs. It was then three in the morning;
the fleet continued in sight till eleven, when it pro-
ceeded for Messina.

On the 22d of January a signal was made that
a coasiderable convoy was in sight near Pentallaria.
On the same day troops were ordered to be in mo-
tion to reinforce the garrisons of Messina, Syracuse,
and Trapini. Arms and ammunition were likewise
sent to several places, and especially to Cefula, to
which 1800 muskets and five barrels of gunpowder
were sent. It is publicly said, that these precau-
tions have for their object, to secure Sicily against
any insult from the Barbary powers, who threaten a
descent.

There is a report, that three new regiments of
militia will be raised.

The coast is still lined with a cordon of troops,
under pretext of preventing the communication of
the yellow fever.
The Inglisii corvette, the &stem which entered
the moil on the 25th of January, sailed again on
the 28th to regain the squadron. The English
ship, the Lxcetelli, of 74 guns and 590 men, com-
manded by Captain Sutheron, entered the road this
morning. T'iis ship arrived in three days from
the Isle ot is Nladelaine. It is destined, it is said,
to take the place of the Kral, which was several
month, .rationed at the head of the harbour. The
English frigate, the Sea Horse, of 38 guns, and 24i
men, commanded by Captain Courtenay Boyle, en-
t: red the Read of Naples on the 24th of January ;
the Captain, after having given to the Officer of
Health dispatches for the Englisli Minister and the
Court. went on board the Excellent, of 74 guns, at
anchor at the head of the harbour. He had a con-
ference for two hours with the commander of that
ship, and afterwards returned to his frigate, which
sill remains within sight of land, and crui.ing at
the entrance of the harbour.
The following is the report of the English Captain
of the frigate : The English frigates the Aarre and
the Sem-ilorse had been ordered to observe the move-
ments in the port of Toulon. On the 16th of Ja-
nuary, the French squadron came out, consisting of
11 or 12 sail of the line, a number of frigates, and
some light vessels. The See-Hoar made sail to give
information to Admiral Nelson. and was vigorously
pursued by some French ships, but escaped through
favour of the night. Twenty-four hours after the
French squadron came out of the harbour. Captain
Courtenay Boyle had come up with Admiral Nelson,
who immediately bore away for the Coast of Sicily,
with 11 or 12 ships. The English squadron was on
the western side of that island, opposite Trapiai,
and near the island called II Maritimo, when, on
the 24th of January, Captain Courtenay Boyle was
detached to carry dispatches to Naples, and remain
to make observations at the bead of the Gulf.

It is said, that he asserted, that one or other of
the two kingdoms was menaced by the French squa-
dron- and, in effeel, for the last twenty-four hours,
every place has resounded with military preparations
for the defence of the Gulf, though it has a thou-
sand times been acknowledged, that it will be abso-
lutely uncle'ensible on all the points of the coast.—
Scarcely had the Queen received the dispatches
brought by the EngLsh frigate, when she ordered
Isl. de Dames to take all possible means to prevent
the French troops from landing and seizing on the
city.*
The English have at Malta the following regi-
ments—the 20th, of 800 men ; 27th, of 1100;
3.5 th, of 1900 ; the regiment of Watteville, of 800,
commanded by Swiss Officers ; the British Chas-
seurs, 500; the Colcnel of this regiment is the
British General Ramsay ; the Lieutenant-Colonel is
named Fortier ; he is a Frenchman, :is are all the
other Officers of this corps ; the Corsican Chasseurs,
between 5 and 600, among whom are a great num-
ber of Sicilian soldiers, who are mad.: to go under
the name of Corsicans; the regiment of Dillon,
which is forming, and which has not yet more than
60 men ; the regiment of Scemenberg, which like-
wise is beginning to be formed, having nearly 1000
artillerymen ; and, lastly, two regiments of Maltese,
each of 750 men. There is in the island a consi-
derable quantity of core, &c. sufficient for the sup-
ply of a numerous garrison during several years.
The last convoy from the Black Sea consisted of
about 35 vessels. Meat is scarce, because Sicily,
which has hitherto furnished a great deal, at present
offers only moierate resources; beasts are purchased
on the coast of Africa.
There were, on the Ist of January, more than
80 ships, all well Spanish, as Imperial, Bagusan.
Danish, and, in fine, all neutral flags. The French
and Spanish prisoners are confined on board the
where they are very ill-treated.
