NEWFOUNDLAND, JULY 21, 1808.

His Excellency Admiral HOLLOWAY, Governor
and Commander in Chief of this Island, with his
suite, arrived here on Tuesday evening, last, in his
Majesty's Ship Isis, Capt. LAUGHARNE, from Eng-
land.—As 500 P. as the Isis had flnchored, a salute
Was fir&l from Fort Towns-bend, and in the morn-
ing from the respective ships in the harbour, who
welcomed his Excellency's return to this, 'plaCe
with' all the distinaion due his rank.
In the /sic, came passengers, Sir ISAAC COFFIN,
Bart. on his way to his estates—the Magdalene
Islands; Commissioner JOHN INGLEVIELD, Eiq. and
'Lieut. Jas.'HoLmAN, for Halifax; Mrs. BRINE, for
St. John's.

A very gallant exploit has been performed
.by a
small detachment from one of our Cruizerelin,the
Mediterranean. An Italian Brig of War teing
chased under a sattery, a party of Roy4l Marines,
which consisted of two Lieutenants-and 45 rank and
file, v‘',ere landed just out of gun-shot : these brave
fellows immediately ascended the heights, when,
upon approaching the battery, the trench Officer
who Commanded, confident in his strength (having
upwards of 70 men of the favourite French Regi-
ment the 3d Legere), marched out with a field-
piece to attack them. The Lieutenant, without fir-
ing a musket, ordered his men to charge, which was
executed so firmly, that although the French maiß7
tained their ground for some time with great cou..-,
rage, they at" last gave way, leaving their field-piece
behind; and, our men, by a masterly m,:2cr.uvre
having placed themselves between them and the
battery, of which 'they got possession, opened

r heavy fre upon the Brig, which, upon the app-osch
of our Frigate, hauled down her colou-s. The hole.
then, atter spiking the guns and blowing i p the
;magazines, re-embaiked. Our ;oss on this strvic -,
1-,.vtlicl: was theadmiration of all who witnessed it,
iWas, the Second Lieutenant of Marines- badly
ll Wounded in the arm, one Serjeant and seven pi-
Yates killed, and five badly wounded.
Acrioss is THE AnaiaTzc.—The following 3C-
Count of the very gallant condua of two of our
Cruizers in the Adriatic -(the official detail respeaa
ink the Unite's prizes was given some weeks since hi
,our Qavitte) has been published in the Trieste, Vi-
enna, a.nd ma;:y of the German Papers: we extra&

Towards the close vt the month of May, Capt.
DANDOLO, a Venetian Noble, descended from the,
Conqueror of Constantinople, sailed ircTsl Corfu with.
the F.rig Jena and two large Schooners, Wiliest; !Ild•
been fitted out there for the purpose of taking the
Melpomene English . Frigate which blockaded the
island. Capt. DANDOLO had •not been twelve hours
at sea, when he descried the English pendant, and
observing that the British Commander (Capt. PAR-
IM) did not run away, he prudently thought it
high time he should do so ; the wind, however, be-
came unfavourable for his return to Corfu, but he
put into Paro, a small
:island, about ten leagues frOns
Corfu; the Melpomene followed, and threatened to
destroy both the vessels and the town if they did not
surteuder lannediately. A length a capitulation was
concluded, by which the three ships were delivered
up, but the crews were not:detained as prisoners.
. About the same time, another expedition stifle,'.
-from Zara tri Cake Capt.CAsmi'BELL, of the Unite, who,
like thC celebrated French Chevalier PO REI,O, in for-
mer times, hai become the terfor of the Adriatic., This
force consisted of two large Brigs and a Schooner;
they tbought that; -trtlrn the number of prizes the
Frigate had sent to Malta, she could not be half-
manned. After a short croize in guest of her, theyi•
101 in with her off -the Island of Melado. the
Commodore- immediately began firing, bu, the Fri-.;
gate retained her fire until she ranged along- side
~
within pistol-shut; When she poured in so destruc-
tive a tire that the Brig struck. The other Brig at-
tempted to escape, and ran on a small island, When
about half her crew landed, by leaping from, her
bowsprit ; but the rest, with her Captain (DOoDo),
were made prisoners. The Schooner 'escaped to
Ancona."

Continent, in consequence of their' nigh prices. IP
several parts of Southern Germany the prices havP.

DRE,AbFUL CATASTROI'HE.—A boat-race for Ova

ment of beef and bread, besides beer and brandy.
The Qdegis had a covered table, and an allowance
of wine. All the above troops are proceeding by
forced marches in waggons. They require ,daily two
thousand waggons and eight ihousand horses. It is
said that the fifteen thousand of our troops under
orders to take the field, will join this army.

FRANKFORT, Aup.-24.7—0ur Journals contain the
following statements :—‘‘ The Rusian troops are
assembling in greater numbers than usual, in Rus-
sian Poland, and on the frontiers of Prussia and
Galicia. Their destination, however, is unknown."

BERLIN, AUG.l6.—[n the course of Saturday night
three Couriers arrived 'at the Governor's with dis-
patches, said to be dated from Rochelle. On Sun-
day morning two regiments set off with the utmost
expedition from the camp, in the direction of Sax-
ony; and on Monday morning, at two o'clock, all
the remaining regiments took the same route. The
whole of the troops under the command of his Ex-
cellency the Duke Of BELLUNE are to proceed thi-
ther. His-Excellency sets .off On the i Bth. On
that day we expect here a division of Marshal
SouLT's corps. They will continue their march
farther, after halting one day. A house is got ready
for his Excellency ; but it is thought that his stay
bete will not be 106 g. The total of the French
troops, who are to remain in the Mark of Branden-
burgh, is estimated at 8000 men. The 92d regi-
ment, whiCh was in garrison here; proceeded this
morning to occupy the camp. A great quantity of
ammunition has been conveyed from this place.—

in France in -the same manner as the French troops
are treated in Germany, and are 4 in no case to_ be
employed in any-transmarine expedition. Wesel is
the rendezvous for the troops of Berg, Cleves, and
Ahrenberg ; and Strasburgh for those of Bavaria,
Wirtemburgh, and Baden.,
PARIS, AUG. 23.—The American schooner the
Hope,,. Captain Wood, arrived on the .18th inst. at
Havre, in 14 days from Alexandria. She had a
Gentleman on board,who was chargedwith dispatches
for the Ambassador from the United States. He
also brought a number of Colonial letters, which
Were immediately put into the hands of the Com-
missary-General of Police. There were three chests
on board, containing the skeleton of a singular ani-
mal, ,as a present from the President to the Na-
tional Institive. When the Hope cane away; the
embargo remained in full force, and was likely to do
so as longas ►he causes existed which occasioned it.

. .
We hear from Amsterdam, that the Tribunal of
Prizes at Paris continues to condemn American ves=
sets and their cargoes; notwithstanding the reiterat-
ed remonstrances of the American Ambassador.—
While BUONAPARTE was at Bayonne, General ARM-
STRONG sent his Secretary thither with ,a strong
Memorial, complaining of the injustice of some of
these sentences : BUONAPARTE returned the Me-
moir to the Secretary, with a rebuke for the free-
dom of it, but. observed, that on his return to
Paris he would enquire into the subje&. He still,
howe4eri refuses redress, and the condemnations
continue: •

731Tt1s said that the Duke Dn. INFANTADO, on ap-
pearing before the Generals of the Provincial Forces,
delivered documents, which he was able to secrete
while in France, which fully prove the purity of his
prihciples, and his honourable attachment to the
King : ,among others it is said he has presented a
written Memorial under the hand Of,FERDINAND
VII. calling upon his Generals to reinstate the Duke
to iiis post at the head of the army. In consequence,
it is added, CASTANOS, PALAFOX, BLAKE, and 'Cu-
EsTA;have conburred in recommending that heshould
be declared Captain-Gerferal of Spain, and Genera=
hiiiimo of the Armies. The formal notification of this
will-probably be deferred till the establishment of a
bodfbf sufficient authority to, command the obedi-
eucu and concurrence of the whole kingdom.

A LEN6IA, .—On the 28th June an army
of 'robbers and aSsasSins; headed by MONCEY,. aa-
proaChed thewalli of thiS City) and sere recei-yed,by.
the loyal citizens. in a manner which my language
• cannot eXpress, bin Which will hereafter adorn the
pages of history. The dod of armies crowned but
heroic efforts with perfeEt success, and to him We
ascribe the victory o that day. On the 2'litti we
'ere it-donned of their approSch, and Gen. CARD
was with hiS troops, chiefly peasants; in QUarto.—
MoNCE'r attacked him, and, after art engagement of
five-ho'urs, CARO thought it prudent to retreat,
which heaccomplished with very trifling losS. The
enemy were quartered that night In Quarto,.Aldaye„
and Mistata ; we remained all night upoti our walls.
About eight o'clock the following- day MONCEY
sent a Messenger,' whotri he had made 'prisoner; to
inforni the Junta of Valencia; that if they 'did not
surrender the 'city it foiir inints, he would put the
inhabitants to the sword; but if they would surren-
der peaceably, he would treat them as friends. The
Junta deliberated on this message, and resolved to
defend the,city, in which they were supported by all
ranks of people. At half past twelve the enemy
were 'in the streets of Quarto. Their advanced
guard, consisting of twenty-seven men, were all cut
to pieces. The enemy attacked the forts of Piseria
and Santo Catalina, and persevered.with the greatest
obstinacy for eight hours. Our troops and citizens
fought with the greatest coolness, and never evinced
the least disposition 'to capitulate, and they
withstand 'the incessant lifG Cf eighteen pieces of
cannon. It is impossible to describe the enthusiasm
Which pervaded PLit'; wfnen at e 4 aiidrqn tilrough-
, (11-11 the day. They furnished every weapon they
could find for those men who had not got arms.—
' The Clergy of every orter exhibited the same cou-
rage as, the soldiers, and always went and assisted
where the danger was greatest. At last the enemy,
finding that he could not make any impression that
gave him any hope of success, retreated precipitately,
and we followed him as far as Osut. We took
'possession of three pieces of artillery, which they
were unable to take away with them, and a number
,of horses and fusees which they had taken from the
countrymen. The next day d' pursued them, but
they retired to Misrata. In Chiva the enemy Com;•

excesses. Indeed it is impossible to' calculate the
damage the country has sustained throudi
General 'IIIONCEY was in the garden of Porteros
when the attack was made. In the battery of-St.
Catalina we had eight nfen killed and 150 wound-
ed ; on the wf,!ls of the city we had about twenty
wounded. For the last five days we have been
bilOy employed in repairing tl4 damage done in
different parts of the city, and every person contri-
butes in proportion to his ability.

THE THEATRE.---The season commenced 'last
night, at Covent-Garden Theatre, with the Tragedy
of Macbeth, a proper compliment to the unrivalled
excellence of our great dramatic Bard, and to the
public taste. The house was much better attended
than we ever remerfiber on an opening night, and
was indeed crowded in all parts. KEMBLE was re-
ceived. on his entrance with the warmest applause.
He seems to be in very good health, and he certain-
ly exerted his powers to the utmost. Often as he
has performed the charaeler of Macbeth, there were
some pasiages which, he gave with novel spirit and
energy, and through the wiiole displayed a' masterly
proof of skill and judgment. Mrs. SIDDONS also re-
ceived warm and reiterated marks of public esteem on
her entrance, and in the charaeter of Lady Macbeth,
exhibited all that excellence which has so deservedly
raised her character in the theatrical world. She
looked remarkably well. CHARLES KEMBLE was
liberally greeted by the audience, and his perform-
ance of Macduff eminently contributed to the ge-.
neral effea of the play. MURRAY also was well
received in Banquo. - The whole went off with the
utmost correaness, and powerfully arrested the at-
tention of the audience. The Afterpiece was
Raising the IPind, and Law's, who experienced the
most.fiattering reception, was as aClive and lively as
ever. EMERY, BLANCHARD, and StyeoNs, who
are essential props in this whimsical farce, bad
abundant reason to be satisfied 'with the tributes
which they respectively received of public favour.
On Saturday night, in the first gallery of the Lit-
tle Theatre, in the Hay Market, just as Mr. LISTON
was singing the beautiful air of " Won't you come
Mr. Mfig," a case of a painful nature presented it-
self :—A Lady, in the last stage of her pregnancy,
and who had not before had an opportunity of see-
ing the Africans, was suddenly taken in labour, and
notwithstanding all her efforts to suppress her pains,
she found it necessary to retire before the conclusion
