Dovsfed•tfrorf, Slmissfer 4, 1806.
A Dispatch has been this day received by the
rght !lon. William Windham. one of His Majesty's
ptin;pal Secretaries of State, from Major. General
Sir John Stual., commanding Ili. Majesty's troops
sating in Calabria, of which the following is a copy :
Camp en she Plain of Maids, July 6, 1806.
Ste—lt is with the most heartfelt satisfaltion
that I have the honour.of reporting to you, for the
Informat4n of His Majesty, the particulars of an
'Aim+. in which the French army quartered in this
province hare sustained a signal defeat by the troops
ander my commend.
Gen. Regnier having been apprised of oar die.
entherkation at St. Eitfemia, appears to have made
a rapid march from Reggio, uniting, as he advanced,
his deeasiud corps, for the purpose of attaching,
sad with Ids charaaet istic confidence, of defeating
us.

On the afternoon of the 3d instant. I received in-
telligenee that he had that day encamped near
Ittaida, about ten miles distant from our position,
that his force consisted at the moment of about 4000
Wasp, and SOO cavalry. together with four pieces
of artillery. sod that he was in expectation of being
joined within a day or two ►y 3000 more troops,
who were marching after him in a second division.
1 determined, therefore, to advance towards his
position, and having left four companies of Wat-
tevilie's Regiment, under Major Fisher, to prated
the stores, and occupy a work which had been
thrown up at our landing place, the body of the
army marched the next morning according to the
following detail :

General Regnier was encamped on the side of a

wooalyhill, %Orr the villager:if gaida, sloping into
the Plain of St. Lufemia ; his tanks were strength-
used by a thick impervious underwood. The Ama.
to, a river perfealy fordable, but of which the side
are ettremely marshy, ran along bis front ; my ap-
proach to him from the sea side (along the borders
of which I direfted my mirth, until I had nearly
turned his left) was across a spacious ;loin, w!,ich
rI
gave him every opportunity of minutely observing
my movements.
After some loose firing of the flanker, to cover
the deploittnente of the two armies, by nine o'clock
in the morning the opposing fronts were warmly
engaged, when the prowess of the rival nations
seemed now fairly to be at trial before the world,
and the superiority was greatly and gloriously de-
cided to be.our own.

fhe corps, which formed the right of the ad-
vanced line, was the battalion of light infantry com-
manded by Lieutenant-Colonel Kempt, consisting
of the light companies of the 20th, '27th, 35th. 36th,
61st, Slit, and Watteville's, together with one hun.
dyed and fifty chosen battalion men of the 30th re-
giment. under Major Robinson. DireOly opposed
to them was the favourite French regiment, the
w I..iere. The two corps at the distance of
about one hundred yards fired reciprocally a few
rounds, when, as if by mutual agreement, the firing
was suspended, and in ease compae order and awful
silence, they advanced towards each other, until
their bayonets began to cross. At tins momentous
Crisis, the enemy became appalled. They broke,
and endeavoured to fly, but it was too late ; they
' were overtaken with the most dreadful slaughter.
Brigadier• General Ackland, whose brigade wa•
kwasediately on the lett of the light infantry, with
great spirit, availed himself of this favourable mo-
anent to press instantly forward upon the corps in
his front ; the brave 75th regiment, commanded by
Lieutenant• Colonel Macleod, and the Slit regiment,
under Major Plenderleath, both distinguished them.
selves on this occasion. The enemy tied with dis-
may and disorder before them, leaving the plain
covered with their dead and wounded.
The enemy being thus completely discomfited on
their left, began to make a new effort with their
right, in the hopes of recovering the day. They
were resisted most gallantly by the brigade under
Brigadier-General Cole. Nothing could shake the
undaunted firmness of the Grenadiers under Lieute-
nant-Colonel O'Callaghan, and of the 17th regiment
under Lieutenant-Colonel Smith. The Cavalry, suc-

eessively repelled from before their front, made an
effort to turn their left, when Lieutenant-Colonel

Ron, who had that morning landed from Messina,
with the 20th regimint, and was coming op to the
army during the aetion, having observed the move-
ment, threw his regiment opportunely into a small
cover upon their lank, and by a heavy and well di-
reaed fire. coo sly disconcerted this attempt.
This was the I.st feeble struggle of the enemy,
who now. astonished and dismayed by the intrepi-
dity with which they were assailed, began precipi-
tately to retire, leaving the field covered with car-
nage. Above 700 bodies of their dead have been
buried upon the ground. Ihe wounded and pri•
soners already in our hands (among which are Ge-
, feral Compere, and an Aid-de-Camp, the Lieute-
nant Colonel of the Swiss Regiment, and a long list
of officers of different ranks) amount to above 1000.
There are also above 1000 men left in Monteleone
ar,cl the different posts between this and Reggio, who
have mostly notified their readuiess to surrender,
whenever a British Force shall be sent to receive
their submission, and to prated them from the fury
of the people. The peasantry are hourly bringing
in fugitives, who dispersed in the woods and moun-
tains after the battle. In short, never has the pride
of our presumptuous enemy been more severely
humbled, nor the superiority of the British troops
more gloriously proved, than in the events of this
memorable day.

His Majesty may, perhaps, still deign to appre-
ciate more highly the achievements of this little
army, when it is known that the second division,
which the enemy were said to be expefling, had all
joined them the night before the anion ; no state-
ment that I have heard of their numbers places them
at a less calculation than 7000 men.
Our vietorious infantry continued the pursuit of
the routed enemy so long as they were able ; but as
the latter dispersed in every direslion, and we were
under the necessity of preserving our order, the
trial of speed became unequal.
The total loss occasioned to the enemy by this
eolith& cannot be less than 4000 men. When I op-
pose to the above our own small comparative Inas,
as underneath detailed, His Majesty will, I hope,
discern the fad, the happy elleas of that established
discipline to which we owe the triumphs by which
our army has been latterly so highly distin-

guished.
I am now beginning my march Southward. pre-
paratory to my return to Sicily, for which station
I shall re-embark with the army. as soon as His
Sicilian Majesty shall have ar:anged a disposition of

his otwn forces to secure those advantages which
have been gained by the present expedition.
There seldom has happened an anion in which
the zeal and personal exertions of individuals were
so imperiously called for as in the present ; seldom
an occasion where a General had a fairer opportu-
nity of observing them.
The General Officers, and those who commanded
regiments, will feel a stronger test of their merits
in the circumstances that have been detailed of their

condud, than in any eulagium I could presume to
pass upon them.
The aSth and Watteville's Regiment, commanded
by Lieutenant-Colonels Johnston and Watteville,
which formed the reserve, under Colonel Oswald,
were ably direted in their application to that es-
sential duty.
The judgment and etre& with which our artillery
was direfted by Major Lenrine, was, in our dearth
of cavalry, of most essential use ; and I have a
pleasure in reporting the effeftive services of that
valuable and distinguished corps.
To the several departments of the army, every
acknowledgment is due ; but to no officer am 1
bound to express them so fully, on my parr, as to
Liestenant-Colonel Sunbury, the Deputy Quarter-
Maiter•General, to whose acal and adivity, and
able arrangements in the important branch of ser-
vice which he direds, the army as well as myself
are under every marked obligation.
Frem Captain Tomlin, the acing head of the
Adjutant-General's Department, and from the Offi-
cers of my own family, I have received much altive
assistance. Among the latter lam to mention
Lieutenant-Colonel Moore of the 23d Light Dra-
goons, who being in Sicily for his health at the time
of our departure, solicited permission to accompany
me on this expedition ; he was wounded in the exe-
station of my orders.
From the Medical Department, under the direc-
tion of Mr. Grieves, the Deputy InspeAnr, I am to
acknowledge much professional attention, the more
so, as their labours have been greatly accumulated by
the number of wounded prisoners, who have become,
equally with our own, the subjeCt of their care. '
The scene of adion was too near the sea to enable
ns to deiive any dire& co-operation from the Navy :
but Admiral Sir Sidney Smith, who had arrived in
the Bay the evening before the adion, had direCted
such a disposition of ships and gun-boats as would
have greatly favoured us, had events obliged us to
retire. The solicitude, however, of every part of
tip Navy to be of use to us, the promptitude with
which the seamen hastened on shore with our sup-
plies, their anxiety to assist our wounded, and the
tenderness with which they treated them, would
have been an affeding circumstance to observers.
even the most indifferent. To me it was particu-
larly so.
Captain Fellowes, of His Majesty's ship Apollo,
has been specially attached to this expedition by
the Rear-Admiral; and, in every circumstance of
professional service, I beg leave to mention our
grateful obligations to this officer, as well as to
Captains Cocket and Watson, agents of transports,
who sided under his orders.
Captain Bulkeley, my Aide.de.Camp, who will
have the honour of preventing this letter to you,
has attended me throughout the whole of the ser-
vices in the Mediterranean, and will, therefore, be
able to give you every additional information on the
subjea of my present communication.
I have the honour to be, Etc.

P'OREION INTELLIGENCE.

FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS.

NAPLES, auousr 5.
The King set out at nine e. rn. for Calabria.
The law, abolishing feudal tenures, was publ s!.cd
this morning.
Marshal Massena ought to be, by this evening, at ,
Lego Nero, and General Gardanne, at Lauria. The
advanced guard of the latter having met a collec-
tion of Rebels at Montesano, attacked them, and put
them to the rout. Thirty died on ine fleld of battle,
and one hundred were taken, with arms in their
hand., and received military judgment on the spot.
'l'hue bands are in general headed by Monks. Tile
Chartreux Monks of St. Lawrence Della Pa,lala, are
accused of being the authors of these revolts ; it is at
least certain, that these disturbances commenced in
the countries belonging to the above fraternity.
The rebels ha►e been driven from Vicignano and
Abetina ; seventeen of them were arrested, and also
received military judgment.

I

At Vicign.tno, four of the inhabitants, who were
friends of good order, shut themselves up in their
houses ar. soon as the revolt broke out, and kept
themselves confined for four days. At length, see-
ing a detachment of French at a distance, they at-
tempted to force their way through the rebels ; two
were killed, and the others arrived safe. Upon te-
turning along with the French to their houses, they
found their families massacred, and their afters
plundered.

The Police has published an order, obliging all the
Calabrians, not having passports, to return to their
country within two days. This measure has become
necessary, on account of the great concourse of Ce.
labrians at present in Naples.
By a Decree of the 9th ,of August, His Majesty
regulated the division of the territory of the king-
dom of Naples, and the administration of his pro-
vinces.
The territory of the kingdom is divided into thir-
ken provinces, vie. Naples, the three Abbrurzas,
terse de Labour, Citerior Principality, Ulterior
Principality, County of Molise, Terre de Bari, Bs-
Calabria Citerior, and Calabria Ulterior.
The chief places of these provinces for the adrai.
nistration of justice are Naples, Teramo, Aquas,
Chick, Santa Maria, Salerno, Abellino, Foggia,
Mari Lecce, Potenza,Corenza, and Monteleone.
Each of these provinces is divided into distri3s,
each of which has also its chief place of adminis-
tration. Each distriCt is divided into circles ; the ja-
risdiaion of each, and their number, are re-
gulated according to the nature of the face of the
country.
In each province there shall be a Magistrate
charged with the civil financial administration, and
the high police, under the name of Intendant ; there
shall also be a Council of Intendance, and a Pro-
vincial Council.
The Goss d'Artaserie, and the Provincial Guards,
are at the disposal of the Intendants for the execu-
tion of their functions and the laws in general. The
Intendants may also call in the assistance of the mi-
litary, when the maintenance of good order requires
it; this privilege must not be refused them.
There is a Secretary General for each Intendant,
named by His Majesty. The Secretary General is
to fill the place of the Intendant, in the event of the
sickness, death, or necessary absence of the latter.
The Councils of the Intendant are composed of
three Members, named by His Majesty ; the eldest
shall be President. The Intendant is so assist at
their sittings when he thinks proper, and then be
presides ; in case of an equality of votes, his opinim
is to decide the question.

,
The Provincial Councils are to meet together
once a year ; their Session is to last 20 days, and no
longer.
In each distria these is to be a Sub-Intendant and
a Dist: if Council.
lhe Ad rui i.i.trators of Circles are to bear the name
of Decurions ; they are to bw chosen out of the mast
respeaable families. Syndics are charged with the
administration of the Communes.
The salary of the Intendants of Provinces is 1200
ducats, that of the Secretaries-General 600 shwas,
that of the Sub-Intendants 600 ducats also, and that

of the Councillors of the Intendance 180 ducats.—
The sum of 1500 ducats is allowed to the Intendant,
for the subalterns employed, and the exponces of tl,e
Secretary's Department • 360 ducats is allowed the
Seb•lntendants for the same purposes.
_

•tr:usr 14.
General Reguier has formed a junflion with Ge-
neral Massena, at Casano and Castrovillari, after
having both of them entirely purged the provinces
which they marched through of the rebel; vshich in-
fested them.
The King returned on Friday to Naples, after be-
ing absent four days on his journey to Calabria.--
On Sunday his Majesty set out to repin the division
of the army which he commands in person, and
which is encamped at Vietri and Saint Laurent..—

than the Hither Calabria, will be treated with more
mildness. The insurgents have been punished.—
Amongst the towns may be cited that of Carigliano,
which was delivered to the flames, in spite of all the
efforts of the French Generals to save it. The re-
bels have been abandoned to their fate by the Eng-
lish, and by those who caused the insurreetion. The

The Italian Gazettes represent the state of Ca.

and principal families have remained faithful to
King Joseph ; but the common people, it is said, are
every where in insurreaion, and commit the most

of Cosenza has been crucified, and pierced with
lances, till he expired. The crime imputed to him

General Stuart is in Calabria, with a corps of
s,OOO English, among which there are 1,500
Scotch. Great numbers of the Insurgents have
joined him, but he has not been able to restrain
their ferocious barbarity. Unfortunately. Calabria
experiences all the horrors of war. The unhappy
situation of that province has induced King „lc ssph
to declare it in a state of war, and to exercise to-
wards the inhabitants all the rigour which justice
and the laws will permit.

LONDON,
SATURDAY, SEPTENTIILR 6.

We this day give The Extraordinary Ga:ette,
containing the official account of the splendid vic-
tory of St. Etsphemia. The sketch which we gave
of it yesterday will be found tolerably corret.—
General STU/oes letter is concise, but at the same
time most perspicuous. We agree in all his obser-
vations but one. He says, "by nine o'clock in
the morning of the 4th, the opposing fronts were
warmly engaged, when the prowess of the rival
nations seemed now fairly to be at trial before
the world, and the superiority was greatly and
gloriously decided to be our own." This is
toe generous an admission. The French, as
we stated yesterday, were 7000 strong. The
English did not amount to 5000. Having given
Vie Extraordinary Ge:i lir, and several Proclama-
tions, respecting the operations in Calabria, at full
length, down to the 18th of July, we have not room
for any farther observations upon this giro toils and
important Thiess".
--
The contents of the flarnburgh Mail, received
yesterday, give the strongest assurance of a good
understanding between Russia, Pru•ss., Swe +en,
and Saxony, and of a new Northern Confederacy,
as a counterpoise to the Confederation of the Rhine.
This spirited conchal is much in favour of Englan4,
in the present negociation with France; yet, if
BON AAAAAA will not make a peace in the spirit of
peace, and we confess he has evinced no symptom of
any such disposition, the result of Lord LAUDIR.
DA Lei Embassy cannot be a matter of much im-
portance.

From the information which we communicated
yesterday, it was almost evident that the Emperor
of Russia had refused to ratify the treaty signed at
Paris by M. D'Onaatt. We have since received
Firis Papers to the Yd inst. ; and the hiamburgh
Mail due on Wednesday last, has also arrived, the
contents of which remove any cl,ulst that might
have remained upon the subj,t.ll. All the Paris
Papers, with the ezcepiinn of the Moniker, state. as

POLICE.
MANSION-110CM
Yesterday, a man named Stewart, and two others.
were brought before the Loto May oa, on a charge
of attempting to pass bad money in a pnblic-bouse.
in the neighbourhood of Bartholomew fair.
The worn in who keeps the house stated, that at a
late hour the night before, the Prisoners came into
her bar, and had each of then a glass of gin.
Stewart then tendered her in payrrient a half guinea,
which she, on examining, found was good, lied
was about to give tile change in silver, when one of
the other men asked her if she could not give sr
..even-shillingspiece, as some of the silver might be
bad ? She told the man she had not one ; and he then
said it would be better to get change of a seven-
shillings piece, and, at the same time, threw one on
the counter. She then returned the half guinea, and
was about to give change for the seven-shillings
piece, which she had previously weighed, and foetid
gond, when the man who gave it to her, said, he
believed he had halfpence, and took out four-
pence halfpenny, which was three halfpence abort of
the money due to her. The ether man, who, until
that time, had been silent, then said, Ise believed his
had three-halfpence ; and taking up the good seven.
shillings piece which lay on the counter, he put
his hand in his pocket, to search for the half:
pence ; he, however, after fumbling for some time,
said ha had none, and then throwing a seven•shillrngs
piece out of his hand, as if it had been the same at
he took up a minute before, said it must be change
ed. The woman, from all this changing, swelled
they wanted to cheat her, and therefore weighed this
seven-shillings piece, which proved to be a very bad
eau. She tad their, it was bad; but they insisted -
that it was the same the swan WA of the cowmen
and, if it was bad, it must have barn dm that chord
•

it. On this an itltercation arose' between them, in
consequence of which her husband, and some
friends who were in the parlour, came .ioto the
tap-room. On seeing them enter. Stewart and
another of the prisoners wide their escape, one out
of the front and the other out of the bitekaloor
hut they were pursued cod taken. The man who
remained, also endeavoured to escape, but Mini
prevented, he pretended to fall into fits, and while
tie was on the ground, a bad seven-shillings piece fell
out of his mouth. They were all searched, bet no
other bad money was found, except th- bad seven.
shillings piece tendered to the woman, and that
whicts fell nut of the asan's mouth.
An Officer they arrived, and took them to the
Compter.
Theperson who searched them not being in town,
the Lord Mayor remanded the Prisoners until to.
morrow, and gave dire Lions that the Solicitor of
the Mint should be apprised of the business.

Yesterday, a man of the name of Walker,
charged a female lodger of his, befrire the Magis- 1
t:ates pt thisiOffice. with embezzling and dispoelhg
of a vantity of the furniture belonging to the
apartment he had let to her. This casein itself bore
nothing rf novelty, but was somewhat singular, in
bringing before the puhlic a species of trade we have
never before heard of in this Sr any other commer-
cial city, and which, we believe, never heft:whet:
isted.
The goads wbi:h were taken from Mr. Walker's
house, being pawned, some difficulty
_arose with re-
spect to the discovery of the duplicates r when they
were, at last, found to, be in the possession of one
Baker, a general chandler and grocer, carrying on
business in the neighbourhoed of Queen Anne-street,
fiat, who, being summoned, attended us produce
them.
Mr. Baker (one of the pets* called Quakers) ex-
plained the nature of his business to be nearly as fol-
lows :—He lent money upon pawn-brokers' dupli-
cates, at the rate of two pence pet week upon every
shilling specified by the duplicate. If the money
so advanced was not repaid at the end of the week.
he then charged pawn-broker's interest on it, until
the end of the month ; at which time, if principal
and interest remained still unpaid, the duplicate Qr
came forfeited, and, of course, Mr. Baker, .tho
owner or proprievir of the goods so pawned, a 94
might redeem them at his pleasure. kle advanced
goods to this sort of customers in the same way,
and at the same rate, giving one month's credit for
such goods, bearing interest also, which, if not paid
for at the expiration of that time, the duplicate, ss
before, became also forfeited.
It appeared, that in U
traffic, Mr. Baker carried
lucrative business, and '
flocked to his fc:cl dail:

in the production of them, and coosavinently aunt
retard, or, perkily', totally defeat the ends of pub-
lic justice. Besides all this, such transaftions had
very much the appearance of usury.
Mr. Baker, with apparent candour, replied. that
had be seen the business in that light, be certain!'
never would haste practised it ; but, oa the contraig.
he thought It a matter that would act only prove
an accommodation, bet beneficial to the lower
classes in this metropolis. However, if he waa cam-
vinced in his own mind, that it was injurious to the
commonalty, and at all tended to retard the ends of
Justice, he was very willing to relinquish it intirely.
The Magirrates advised hi.o to do so. And the
lutthet investigation of the business, stands over fog
a future day.
