DIAPLPS. MARCO! 4.
Marshal Massena set .nt from this on the !Gds.
to reconnoitre Gaeta, and returned oa the 28th.—
He has sent off a great quantity of artillery for the
liege of that place, which is already commenced
under the command of General Latour.
The mob of Gaeta is constantly fired upon by
four gun.hoats. The surrender of the fort is imme-
diately expedied, notwithstanding the Cnrnmandcr
of the place, Philipetal, has declared that he will
hold out to the last extremity. It appears certain,
that the English who evacuated have withdrawn
into Sicily, where they are fortifying themselves
and ereding batteries.

LORD HARDWICRE.
Yesterdir. Earl Hardwicke quitted our shores,
The streets were lived. on the occasion, by the mili-
tary, and the public esteem and sfeßion were Mit-
teringly expressed by the very noinerous and re-
spillable cavalcade, consisting of more than one
hundred equipages, which attended his Lordship to
the water side. His Lordship previously held a
Levee. and about four o'clock set out from the
Cud*.

Fie nos accompanied by his illustrions succesanr,
mingling the bright Maze of his risen sun. with the
mild brains of the retiring luminary, and 11 this
approval of kindred virtue. and a generous policy,
promising a succession of happy influences to the
country.
The populace, who had been in anxious expeeta-
'inn of an opportunity of testifying their resped in
their own way, took the horses from his carriage,
in biasaau-street, which his Lordship, with much
complacency, consented to, and drew it to the
Pidgeon-house. On his Lordship's embarking in
the yacht, a royal salute was fired.
