" gate;lntfuest of 0,,4,:i-ript.AumVs Stia,..,ron-o;f rsievi
sairof iheline. On the 7rh, we,spoke,.two Ves;els-, Who
gave.' us the intelligence that the KING of. I,ES
had Concluded a Treaty with the French, and that
in consequence they had • been, obliged tb quit that
port. COneeiving it possible,. I imagine,. that the
appearance of our Squadron off Palermo,. 'where the
Kitqc was, might induce him to revOke such a tnea,
sure, we proceeded to that Port, but learned frOm Mr.
FA6ET; the British :Minister, that the' KING could
not proteft himself, and must submit to the terms
imposed on him by the French. The Champion Fri.:
gate was diipatched to Malta, to order the. Alexander•
and githenietr to join us off Maritimo. We stood for
the Bay- of Naples, 'whete some Russian Frigates
were lying in. the Mole : a- Neapolitan Frigate was
laying outside of them in the Bay, Whose Captain
came -off to us, for the purpose of proteaing the
of neutralitythe. port. Our objet}•ner being. to
involve our ancient Ally in fresh difficulties; we
stood back for.Maritimo, where, On the rBth, the
Athelien joined ; the Alexander had left Malta a
short time before, and had parted..company: with
her.* On the zzd, she joined us near the small
island of Galita, on the African side. -We were
proceeding off Toulon, when on the acth; in 'the
morning, we fell in with.the Sedamiite. Brig, Which
informed us that the French had sailed from Tou-
lon on the• 19th,. and were supposed . to
,be
bound for -Egypt. •We stood. immediately to:,,
the eastward, and on'the succeeding morning, about
ten leagues to the East of Sardinia, we got sight
of them at day-light.. The wind was variable, in_
dining to calm. We immediately made all sail in
chace, and kept sight of them till night, but with.
out gaining upon them. We continued the. chace
.all night, the Mercury being 2-head, but I am Lorry
to say that in the morning they were out of sight.-
I susped they hauled to the 'Northward.

" Knowing they had 4.000 Troopi on board, and
that BONAP.ARTE had sent his Aid-de-Camp DUROC
to order GANTiI E AVM E to sea, 'we had tio doubt that
their object was to reinforce their Army in Egypt,
and therefore made the best of oar way off Alexan-
dria, in the hope oragain meeting them. We sent
ashore to the Islinds of Maritimo and Pantelacia, lay-
ing of and :on betyeen Sicily and Cape Bon foein-
telligende, but could obtain none. Light airs, calins,
and contrary .windi, •prevented our arrival here till
last Sunday, when we fell in with two of Lord
Ktitke§ eruizers, and from them learned the lois
Our Army had sustained of its General, and that
Alexandria was not yet in our pasession; Our wor-
thy Admiral also learned ,the affliding news that his
only son, Captain W4KR RIC, a Subaltern in the
Guards, was killed on the first day.
" We joined Lord LE yrfri next morning (April
to), and Lund him standing off and on Alexandria
with seven Sail of the Line, Frigates, &c. ; and
PtrowrzA BEY, the .Turkish Vice-Admiral, with
-two Sail of the Line, Sloops, &c. The CArrA IN.
P4CIIA is laying in Aboukir Bay in a Three-decker,
with two Sail of the Line."

Mr. BLAW !ERE, Midshipman of His Majesty',
Sloop Pengutn,.Hon: Capt..Bouvsßlß Commander,
arriyul at the. Admiralty; yesterday morning,
an account' that that. vessel (which left England on
the Bth of Fehreary) on heir passage to the Cape of
Good Hopt,with:Dispatches, had. fallen in with
three large Freneh PrivateerS. • An ation imme-
diately took place, when she made a complete wreck
of one of the.rriVateeis-: • She -was about to take

possession of' another; but a shot carried away the
Penguin's-foremast, by which means she was pre-
vented from taking her, in charge, and atTorthd the
third time to escaper:and to take off the other two.
The Privateers are supposed to have lost a great
number of men in killed and wounded. The
guin had 'not a mzw killed. Having proceeded on
her voyage, .she- fell in with a large and valuable
Swedish East Indiaman, into which she‘put sorne_of
her.hands, and Mr. ERE,
.as-Prize,maser,.
who has brought the Incliaman..safe into Plyniouth.-

MARA commences her musical career, in Edin.
burgh to-morrow. She is to sing at the Assembly
Rooms, in George-street ; but, strange to say, con-
sidering her merit, and the remuneration her ser-
vices receive in this part of the world, the ticket
of admisiion to the Edinburgh Concert is only Five

AWL, Ly, we understand, has 'offered Very liberal
terms to Mrs. BILLINCTON, to perform at the
Oratorios next year ; but his overtures were de.
dined, under the idea, that if she enters into Ar-
ticles with the Proprietors of Drury-Lane Theatre,
she is to engve in the Oratories which they think
of bringing 'for watd.

The translation of uvenali by Mr, GrtiOari,

felt by the Parnassian inieds of the presefit day, is
expefted to come forward about she latter end Of
the year. The.learning, „genius, and peouliar bent
of the tiatislator's talentsg peculiarly qualify him
for such a work, which will, dpubtlessi. be a valua•
ble addition to British Literature.. It is theinten.
