N 4 r LES, MARCH e: Gazette of • this City
contains the following Article:— • ,-•
Notwithstanding the arrest and removal of se-
veral-disterbers of the.public tranquillity, and the
affeetionate admonition of Prince JOSEPH, the foolish
measure of arming is Still resorted to. His Impe-
ri;d Hiligness has, in consequence,authorited Mar-
shal MAsseNA to establish a Military Commission
wherever, he thinks proper. The substance of the
Edith issued on this occasion is as follows All in-
dividuals who shall be arrested in the public roads,
t or streets, with arms in their hands, thieves or assas-
sins, spies, and all persons Cobviated of au under-
standing with the Enemy, for the purpose of disturb-
ing' the public peace, or underttking any thing hos-
tile' to the safety of the Army, shall be tried by Mi-
litary Commissions. There shall be as many Com-
. missions as there are Corps of the Army. No appeal
to any other Tribunal shall be allowed from the
• • sentences of the Commission, which shall be exe;
cuted within twenty-four hours. One of these Com-
missions shall be established in the City of Naples.'
Accordingly a Police Commission, with a moveable
column of 1400 men, set out on the Bth inst. for
the purpose of quelling these disturbers of the pub-
lic tranquillity, and began to diiiarrn the inhabitants
of Portici, P.Nina, anti Ponticello.
As Gaeta is the focus of the insurgents, every ne-
cessary preparation has. been- made for its formal in,
vestment.
Operations have likewise commenced in Calabria.
The following. Official Bulletin has • been pub-
lished :

FRENCH ARMY 'OF THE KINGDOM .c/F NAPLES.
Head-Quarters at. Naples,- March 9, 1806.
ACCOUNT OF THE BATTLE OF LAGO NERO.
" On the Gth instant the advanced guard of the
third corps of the Army, commanded by General
REGNIER, arrived, at two o'clock in the afternoon,
on the Banks of the Silo. The Enemy laid burned
• the bridge, and endeavoured to dispute the passage
with a numerous infantry, 'a twelve-pounder, and r a
howitzer. Disposi6ns were instantly made for the
attack, and
.with such- judgment,
,that the Enemy
could not avail himself of the. advantage of his
position. The Voltigeurs sprang upon the cannon,
and compelled the• defenders to fly; .and to leave
behind the whole of (heir artillery and ammunition
waggons.. Our. Troops-pursued the fugitives mom
than two miles, to Lago Nero, where the. Enemy-
had made preparations for a vigorous resistance. But
our. Troops, without .suffering themselves to • be in
the least checked in their. march, advanced into the
place in spite of a heaVy !fire of musketry and
artillery. A great number of Prisoners were' here
taken ; among .these was a Colonel, a Major, and
several other superior Officers ; two pair of col Airs,
three cannons, some horses, and a very large equi-
.page belonging to. the General COmmandant, and
other Generals, who betook themselves to flight,
were left in our possession, together with the chests
!of several Regiments. The Enemy lost magazinei
of biscuits, brandy, &c."
The five Neapolitan Companies of Artillery are
already completed,,and Brigadier Don JOSEPH roll-'
SEC-ti is appointed Commander of them. -
We have received intelligence from Palermo, that
General FORTEGUF,RRI, the Minister of War and
of Marine, on his 'arrival in that City, requested
and. Obtained leave to resign, on account of • his
health.

Mr. SpARRow, one of His Majesty's Messengers')

A Letter from Dover states, that the Collector of
the Customs at that place issued orders on Monday
morning, prohibiting any boat going off to an y' Flag

The Plowden, Capt. Smrnr, arrived in the 'River
on Sunday afternoon, from Cuxhaven, after an un-
commonly quick passage. She sailed from that Port
at eleven o'clock on Friday night. In the course of
the day Capt. SMITH had gone on board His. Ma-
jesty's Ship Sylph, lying at Cuxhaven, to inquire, if
there was any danger in his protra&ing his stay, as
he had heard it .whispered, that there was a proba-
bility of British Ships being detained. The Captain
infmned him, he knew of none that the Cont-
. mandant of the Fort was dining onboard of him,
and had received no 'orders to that effeet., At the
close
,of the day, however, Capt. -SMITH received a
communication froth the Captain of the in-
forming him, that he had better take his departure
as soon as possible; as he hadTeceived advices by a
Cutter of an intended blockade ; in consequence,
the Plowden sailed the same evening.
letter from Kilkenny says, " A riot
took place in Patrick-street, in this town,, on Sunday
evening last. It was produced by the following cir-
cumstance:----It seems that a weak minded parish
priest, whose zeal out-ran prudence ,and good sense,
denounced, from the altar, a Roman Catholic Phy-
siCian for keeping a girl. The Doctor had the priest
served with common law process in an at-bon of
slander. The mob made an effigy of the
.Do&tor,
paraded the streets, broke the lloaces windows,
and burned the effigy before his door ; but, o 4 the
appearauce of the Mayor, the mob dispersed."
