Eattoott of a Jit,oatch from MaJoratioqteral Sir John Stuart to
noel Elliot. Esq. dated Messina. 3d Aug MS.
, Having occasion to send an express to my aide-de-
. camp, Captain Balkeli, at Palerato, I avail myself
. . of the opportnniry to acquaint you with another for-
tunate Ault of our auspicious day at Maida. Co-
trone, with all its stores, magazines, See. and six
W hundred troops (now prisoners) capitulated on
Wednesday evening last to the laed and naval forces
of His Britannic Majesty, under Lieutenant-Colonel
Iliv
*Leo& of the 78th regiment, and Captain Hoste,
of His Maj.!ssy's frigate Amphion, who were assisted
~, iii their operations against that place, and upon the
loadjacent coasts, by the gun-boats of His Sicilian
Majesty. Three hundred prisoners, who prove to
be survivors of the wounded, after the anion of the
4th ultimo, are already arrived in this port.
General Reviler, who had endeavoured to hold
Ns position, under much embarrassment, for some
tune past, between Cotrone and Catanzaro, has re-
treated precipitately towards Tarento ; and it was
reported, when the transport left Cotrone, that he
had been attacked by the masse, and had lost six or
seven hundred of his flying people.
I am now to congratulate you on the total evacu-
- atien of Calabria Ultra, in which single province,
previous to the anion of the 4th, we have every
certainty that the enemy had a distributed force of
at least nine thousand men; of these, when General
Kepler qnitted his position near Cotrone, certainly
act three thousand retrained. The losses of the
French iu Upper Calabria have also borne a propor-
tion.
1 A great Leal of heavy ordnance,lately transported
by the French to Cotrone, besides what was found
mounted no the Castle, amounting in the whole to
about forty Eacc:.,, have fallen into our hands.

A dispatch, of which the 1 °Hewing is a copy, has
been received by the Right Honourable W. Wind-
ham, one of His Majesty's Principal Seoretar;es of
irate. from General the Right Honourable H. E.
Pus, Commat.der of His Majesty's Forces in the
MediterraLean.

Ste-1 have the honour of incloeleg to you the
Capitulation of Cotrone, as well as extrads of two
letters received this day from Lieutenant-Colonel
M'Leod, of the 78th regiment, and addressed to
Major-Getwral Sir John Stuart, who had detached
that officer for the purpose of giving support to the
armed peasantry on the adjacent coast, and of
leaking an attack on that place itself.
Laitutenant-Colonel M.l.vad appears to have cm--
itilled himself with the greatest judgment and acti-
vity in this service, and to have received the most
ready co-operation and essential • assistance from
Captain Host*, of His Majesty's ship Amphion, who
has all along alted in conjunaion with him.

Extraft of a Letter from Lieutenant
General Sir ,Intin Stuart, dated Anytion Frigate, oft Co,
trans, 27th Jii'y, 1206.
By the letter I had the lirnour of addvessing to
you on the 24th instant, accompanying the dupli-
tates of my letters of the preceding evening, you
will be aware that it was my intention to rnovf., in
conjunition with Captain Hoste's squadron, to this
place, on the following day, under an impression,
that a feint on the enemy's rear, and this his sole
remaining depot, would induce him to divide his
farce, and of course make it so much the more easy
for the Chiefs of the Maw. to succeed in their pre-
jeEted attacks on his position at Catanzaro.
The fleet got under weigh accordingly at eight
o'clock, p. rat• and the following morning (although
a considerable distance from the shore) I had the
satisfattion to observe the French army its full re-
treat towards Cotrone ; as their route or road ap-
peared to run nearly parallel tn, and within gun-shot
of, the beach, and to be bounded on the opposite
side by a chain of mountains, no better opportunity
could be offered, apparently, for an effeClual co-
operation with the masse. With this view, Captain
.• Hoste made a prompt disposition of his frigate and
small craft, while tier transports were direCted to
snake sail toward. a point considerably in front of
' the enemy's column, and to make a demonstration
of landing there ; this appearance occasioned, in the
first instance, a halt of the enemy's column ; and in
the next, a change of its dire Lion towards the moun-
tains ; Captain Haste was enabled, however, to open
a brisk cannonade on his centre and rear, which ap-
peared to b• immediately affeeted by it, and in an
hour's time occasioned those parts of 1.. b column to
break anifdisorrse in the mountains. The enemy's
loss In this afar amounted to about fifty or sixty
wounded, who were brought in waggons to Cotrone
this morning. At:::r the dispersion of the enemy in
•t'te mountains, the fleet made sail towards the

6.

place, Iris supposed destination{ where the fri.
gateatnd transports tame to an anchor, after ex-
changing a few shot with the Citadel, at eight
o'clock in the evening. In cite rooming, we (lino-
veted that the enemy's army had not yet arrived,
but, under an anxious expectation far their appear-
ance, a disposition was made with the transports
and men of war, to give him every perssinle annoy-
ance ; and accordingly, having permitted him
quietly to take up his position `within gunshot, the
frigate's broadside was brought to bear upon him,
and in the space of half an hour completely di lodg-
ed and obliged him to take up a new pcsi:ion with-
out the range of her guns, in the mountains.
nrunhain Fr,ve, OF Cotrone, 6 7.. R. 51.4.. th July, 1806.
Stir—Several appearances in the French encamp-
ment, concurring with other•infnrmation I had re-
ceived on the evening of the 27th, that the enemy
meditated a move, I thought it proper to detain a
communication I had prepared for you on that day,
until I could convey more decided intelligence on
this important subjea. I have now a:se utmost sa-
tisfaElion in acquainting you, that the greatest part
of the French army retreated, in a Northerly direc-
tion, from Cotrone, just before daylight on the
morning of the 28th uh.
Immediately on obtaining this information, I dis-
patched expresses to the different Chiefs of the
Masse, requiting them to concert arrangements for
a close pursuit, and pointed out the many advan-
tages they must consequently have over a flying aid
dispirited enemy in their mountains. I have, how-
ever. nut yet been able. through any source, to dis-
cover, satisfactorily, by which of the routes to the
Northward he has retired. Some state it to be in
the direCtion of Tarentum, to join a small force in
that province ; oilers as positively assert that he is
endeavouring to pass by the mountains to Cosenza,
and by that route to Cassano. Such is the imperial
intelligence I have on this point, that I have not yet
been able to determine so important a question.
The enemy's route from this city has been mark-
ed by circumstances of the most cruel devastation.
Trie village of Strongoli, with several others within
our view, which he conceived hostile to his cause,
have been ransacked, and burnt to the ground.
Our information of yesterday stated, that one
thousand men had been left to garrison the town
and city of Cotrone.—But several deserters, who
joined us this morning, having mentioned that the
greatest part of this fierce had marched to join their
army in the course of the night, Captain Hoste
agreed with myself in the propriety of summoning
the town and citadel to surrender to the farce
under our orders, conceiving that the immediate
possession of what we understood jo be the *ene-
my's sole depot, and his devour resort in Lower Ca-
labria, in point of position, together.oith the re-
moval of his stores, tee. might contributantra ptrvent,
his attempt to reenter the vacate. •..
I have now the pleasure to inclose copies of the.
summons, and of the terms of capitulation finally
agreed upon between us. I trust our judgment in
this proceeding will be confirmed by your appro-
bation.
I shall find it. however, necessary to disembark a
considerable part of my battalion this day, to cover
the evacuation of the town and citadel, and to su-
perintend the completion of the other articles of the
capitulation. After'which I shall immediately re-
embark, and propose to make the hest of my way
to Messina, on the 23 or 5d of August, unless pre-
viously I may receive such information as may alter
my opinion, that the French have completely eva-
cuated lower Calabria for the present.
I am sorry to say, that a good deal of sickness
has prevailed in the 78th, since it sailed, in conse-
quence of their previous fatigues, and that it has
lost eight men. The disease is, however, not spread-
ing t and having appointed an hospital ship, I
trust its progress will be completely checked. This
unpleasant circumstance will hasten my return to
Messina, unless I receive contrary instructions.
The number of prisoners and deserters, now with
this fleet, amorints to about five hundred, of which
number one hail and upwards are sick and weeeddiel.
'I be enemy being, I believe, now completely
driven from the Lower, if not both Calabrias, I can-
not Trait this opportunity of offering try congratu-
lations on so brilliant a result to the expedition un-
dertaken by the army tinder your immediate com-
mand, which cannot fail to be recorded in the British
annals as an achievement of the first order.
I have the honour to he, Lac.
(Signed) I'. 41'L eon.
Majeralerieral Sir Jolla Stuart, Ac Sr Sic
I have just received intelligence, which I can rely
upoa, that tl•e route which the enemy pursued

LONDON,
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 8.

Mr. Sit AW, the Messenger, arrived in town early
yesterday morning, with dispatches from the Earl of
LAU:nil/DAIS at Paris. It was reported, last even•
ing, that BONAPARTE, awed by the warlike demon-
-stations of the Northern Powers, and particularl) by
the refusal of the Emperor of RUSSI A to ratify D'Ou-
airtt.'s 'Fresty, has consented tb the siltimaturn pro-
poses' by the Earl of La uo sena La..—We do 1:0t
know the ground of this report. 'lt may be only a
„
speculative
opinion.
The Funds experienced Auglatertal alteration on
Saturday. Osmium continued at and the Con.
sols at 63. The day did not prodaes mar one re-
port to area them.

A Sapple,"ent to tie London Gazette E:treerctifuev,
of Friday, the sth instant, was published yesterday
morning. It contains an account of the military
operations in Calabria, down to the 30th of July.
The object of the English expedition, to that pro.
vince, appears to have been two-fold. It was for
the purpose of destroying the preparations making
there by the French, for a descent upon Sicily, and
also of assisting the brave Calabrians, by enabling
thent to rise in nowt, and exterminate the French
troops under Generals VERMEIL and Russ 'tit. Both
objects have been accomplished in the most brilliadt
style. On the 30th July, the town of Cotton, in Ulte-
rior Calabria, surrendered to a division of the 78ils
Regiment, under Lieutenant-Colonel lal'Lsoo, and
complete' the work began with so much eclat on
the 4th. Of 9,000 men, which General Rios t est
commanded, in that province, not more than 3,000
remained to attempt their reu eat to Cassano ; and
even that number, according to report, was greatly
reduced by the armed peasantry. Every It rt
along the coasts, all the depots of stores, ammuni.
tion, and artillery, prepared for the attack upon
Sicily, fell into the hands of the English ; and, as
Mr. FAL tor, in his letter to Mr. For, expresses

himself, "what may be considered as even of still
mote consequence than those advantages, an indeli-
ble impression is established of the superior bravely
and discipline of the British troops." Major-Gene-
ral STUART had returned to Sicily agreeable to tl:e
intention which he expressed in his letter of tl.e j:11
July. He was at Messina on the 3d of August.
The 78th. under Lieutenant-Colonel M'Lsoo, air
pear to have been the last of the British troops in
Calabria, and they prcpn'ed to return to Sicily
about that time. It is not possible that the Cala-

br;ans, however brave, :houll ultimately be able to
prevent the continually accumulating strength of the
French from again over-running the ccuntry, but the
merits of Sir Joan Svr.:Aez*: expedition canto: be
