BATTLE IN CALAHRIA.

We received, last sight, Pat is Papers to the SI st
last, and Dutch papers to the id instant. They
contain an account of a severe atlion betwesn the
French and English in Calabria, a southern pro-
vince of the kingdom of Naples. It appears, that,
on the Ist of July, a body of 6000 we
piesume from Sicily, lauded at the Guiph of St.
Euiemia, in Calatnia, On the 4th, they were
attacked by General R costae, with the 41.1 Regi-
ment of the line, and the Polish Re invent.—ln this
Att.sa. it I. admitted, that General COMPS VIZ was
danger.tusly wounded. and taken prisoner, along
with 300 Poles. So far, then, we may presume,
that the enemy were co:npletely defeated.—
The English, gushed with su:cess, and being joined
by a reinforcement of 8000 men, and between 3
and 4000 Calabrians, advanced into the country,
within a league of Cosenza —Cosenza is a town in
Calabria, at the foot of the Apcnaines; and there
they were met by General %Tunica, at the head of
10,000 infantry, and 2000 cavalry. A desperate
battle ensued, which ended, we are told, in the
total defeat of the English trocps, of whom 1,900
were taken prisoners, and General %Teatime was
left in pursuit of the rest, who, it was hoped,
would not be able to regain their ships.—
The English appear to have Lando.' in confident
expedition of being joined by the Calabrians, and
they were not disappointed. The French account
admits, that they succeeded in exciting insurrelion
among part of the inhabitants of the country. or,
in other words, they afforded an opportun:ry to the
brave and loyal natives, to make a glorious effort,
to defend their King and Country against a foreign
Usurper. •• Fur this ad of revolt," however, such
is the French idea of the law of nations, the
Military Commanders have been compelled to in-
Rid on the villages and the inhabitants, the utmost
rigour of the laws." General R Mill*, after his
defeat, advanced to Cotrone, delivered up the vil-
lage of Lissola to pillage. and put five hundred
revolted Calabrians to the sword. The heart sick-
ens with horror, when we reflea upon the fate of
the brave and loyal village of Lissola—when
we find that it is not a solitary instance of
unprincipled ferocity, but that other towns and vil-
lages have 'peen subjeded to the same barbarous
revenge —Stich is the system pradised under the
Ina and Merrill/ King lota's'. It is the French
dagger, and not the Fitrich King, that reigns in the
hearts of the Neapolitan people. When the Mexifear
a:xt boasts King Jostria's clemency, it need only
remind its readers of the fate of Liarola.

Aecotoiag to the latest advice: in the Paris
Papers from Gaeta, the siege of that fortress was
carried nn with great anivity, and it was reported
a grand attack would be made about the 6th or 7th
last. We do not know whether that attempt proved
successful, nor whether the discomfiture of our troops
in Calabria, supposing the French account true,
e►en in the degree, accc!:rated its fall, but we are
Assn: ed, that cur Government have receive,: pusi-
rive intelligence, that it has been taken.
The inulligence from Paris, states, that no com•
munication will be made upon the subjed of the
Russian Treaty, previous to its ratification. M.

D'Ousstt. set out from Paris, for St. Petershurgh,
a few hours after he signed the Treaty. He Was to
travel day and night, and hoped to be at Ptters-
buig:s in a fottnight. Before his departure, he
hired a sumptuous Hotel for the Rtusian Ambas-
sador who is to reside at Paris during the peace.
At the time of the signing of the Treaty. the
troops in the dlete an the interior of France, were
under orders to march towards the Rhine to raise
the several regiments in that quarter to their full
complement. • These.ordors have been shies coun-
termanded, in conseqiieace of that event. This,
added to other pacific measures adopted by Rorie-
r Aar a, in relation to Russia, shews, that he appre-
hends no dlEculty will arise to its ratification.
Confideot hnpes continue to be entertained at
Parrs ;fa ipecdy peace with England, bat the pa-

pets contain nothing but yaps humours upon Olt
subjea. The Funds have risen to 67 1-sth.
Further difficutties have pretested themselves to
the surrender of Cattaro. The Russians have et.
pressed their readiness to give up the place to tl e
French, brit the inhabitants will nrst consent.
A battle took place between the Russians ;r,
French, on the G,h, in the Ragutan territory._.
The lli,.teyr says. that the Russians were defeateti,
and have re.embarked for Corfu.--It alds,
Cattaro has been taken by a detachment of the 114.
fives, favourable to the French, who have detend• I

Mr. Fox fills a large space in society. Every thing
afErfling him derives an interest harm his high situa-
tion and commanding talents. If, then, the pudic
may feel a laudable anxiety to learn the state of the
disease which threatens the life of so great a man, it
cannot be a crime, or a mark of disrespeift in a Public
Print, to gratify that curiosity in a proper waj.

The funds experienced yesterday a further dr-
pressioo.—The Onaisew having left off At 101, and
the Cowoh at 65.—We know no other causes t
the fall, but those which we stated yesterday.

the expedition from Ramsga.e would be joined by
