LQNDDN,

MONDAY, JULY 7, 1806.

WE received, yesterday Plrig and Dutch PapeAt,
the former to the e 2 d and the latter to the'4th inst.
snil also the Harnburgh Papers to the 29th ult.-by
v..h;ch we are enabled to oi.icipale the intelligenee
of-the due on 'Wednesday last: The French
Pape •s are silent upon the subjea. of thd irifptnding
-...`,,T,•;:)tiation,, nor is it probable that they will,ven-,
tare to make any observations upon so' delicate 'a
topic until the 2!lonitezzr sets then the example. The
unofficial , Papprs, particularly the Putlictite, have
received a severe leCiture from the Maniteur for
copying some articles from the German Journals a
sccond offence would probably dra dOwn upon them
a rntre •seriot,s,puni,lirnent.

The ArsO, however,
crntains some striaures ppon the British Minfsters,
v.:llcli were evidently written .origlnally in French,
and mss- be considered", of course, as coming from
authority. Mr. Fox has, mucci.to his honour, dis-
appointed the expeaations which were formed in
France respecting his Administration ; and the
././r.rtts has Commenced an attack,upon him. We
have copied the article to which we allUde, Which
certainly does not. contain sentiments of a very pa-
cific tenkncy: - The French. Funds have risen, but
in a
svery "slight degrees; on the 18th June they were

. .
It appears that an aEtion has taken place between
the Montenegrins, assistedby a small body of Russi-
aus, and a Corps of about 2,000 French. The latter,
of course, claim the viaory, but from the manner. in

which the account is given, it does not appear to
have been _decisive. • The Siege of Gaeta still con-
tinues ; the French, it is said, have completed
their third parallel, and .expect soon sto com-
pel the Garrison to surrender. We are how-
.
ever happy to find the gallant Prince -of 1-IESSE
PHILIPSTHAL has .derived essential assistance frqm
the
,British Squadron, and that his Garrison has been
reinforced by some IlritiSh Ttoops. Qn 'the 16th
tilt. he made a sortie one of his Columns, consist-
ing of "ab0t...t:300 EngliA‘ anti .ileapolitans, which
was landed •about ;six miles from Gaeta, on the road
to -Naples, stormpd a French Fort, 'spiked' the guna,.
and, killed a_ number of the Enemy; but it is said
that their retreat to Gaeta was cut off, and that they
were obliged to retire into the mountains., It does
not appear- that Cataro has yet been evacuated, but
,seems no reason to doubt that orders hpe-
.
been sont from St. PetersbUrgh‘tbr that purpose..

The Dutch Royal Court Gillette of*the• ad inst.
states; that M. IYOUBEIL received his Passports at
Vienna on the 17th.ult. and that he was making
preparations fa ;his journey to Paris.

The Prussian Troops evacuated Bremen on the

2lst ult.

This morning arrived a Mail from Lisbon,brought
to Falmouth by the Tou;nshend Packet; Capt. DODD;
111 thirteen days 'passage. The Fleet. for Great Bri-
tain was to sail from Lisbon on the 22d June, under
"-convoy of His Majesty's Ships-Mi/brook and Cuzaleu.X.

THE 111-adrid.Gazette, of the 13th-June, contains
a Letter from the Naval COmmandant at Porto Ca-
bello to the Prince of PEACE, dated the 18th Fe-
bruary, stating, that on, the 2d inst. the Boats of an
English Frigate made an attack upon a Spanish Pri-
vateer which had,ancbored under the batteries ofthe
Moro Castle, but were repulsed with the loss of 19
killed. The Frigate is stated to have suffered the
. .
loss of her mizen-mast by. the fire from the Castle,
and to have gone to the Island of Borracha tb repair
her damages; The Spaniards had only 3 wounded.

Letters from Lisbon of 'the 21 st June state; that
the most perfe& tranquillity reigned in. that King-
dom, and that no apprehensions whatever were en-
tertained ~ o its being compelled to depart from its
present system of Neutrality.

THE Gazette of Sattirday contains an account of
a very gallant Mtion between, His Majesty's Ship
Sirius,-Capt. PRowsE,- and a numerous French Flo-
tilla, near the Mouth of the Tiber. Notwithstand-.-
ing.the superiority 'of force on the part of the Eve-.
my, Captain-PaowsE succeeded -in capturing the

F?ench Commodore's, Ship, and had day-light Conti-
nued, would .probably have caphired several wore.

of them.

IT way reported yesterday that Lord HoLLAwn
had set Off for Paris : his Lordship, however, , had
notleft town this morning; but we have no doubt,
if His Maje§ty's Ministers should deem it expedient
to send a Minister to Paris, that Lord HOLLAND Will
be chosen to fill that important office,

Right Hon. Lord ColLngwood, Coinahincir: '.
His Miljesty's Ship Sirius, Mitita, 27th April, 12'06.
M' LORD,

Being -six ,or-seven leagues to the Eastward of
Civita Vecchia; on the ilth• instant, at two P. M.
I gained intelligence that a French foice was ta.have
sailed thAt morning from thence, and %%ere.to pro
teed to Naples. 17cro‘Vded a picas of sail in the
same direction ; and, at a
.quiarter past fbur, they
were seen from; the mast head near shore. On

closing withthem, just after sunset, I had the satis-
faction of seeing one Ship, three Brigq. (Corvettes);
and five heavy Gun-vessels, a list of which is 'an-
nexed, formed in compa& order of battle, within
two. leagues of the Mouth of the Tiber, arid near a
dangerous shoal,-lying to, with resolution to' await
•our attack. At seven, within pistol shot, commenc-
ed firing 'With'vigour from both sides, and continued
.closely engaged with' the Squadron for -two hours,
when the Commodore, in the Ship, hailed " he had
-Surrendered." His gallant and determined-.resist-
ance, together with the dangers of the shore, and
the crippled condition of. His 'Majesty's Ship (the'
.smbothness of the water admitting the Enemy to use
their guns with the greatest effect) ,prevented me from
pursuing the remainder of • the Flotilla, although se-
veral were
.much., disabled. and compelled, a short'
time before the Ship struck, to 'cease firing, and
make of. Had it been daylight I have no doub,
from the- firm and gallant- -cundutt evinced by
the• Officers and Ship's Company, 'that 'we should.
have succeeded capturing-. more of *the' Ene-:
nay's Vessels. I have deeply to laMent the loss of
my of nephew, the Only °dicer, and eight' Seamen,
,and Marines, killed in th:7,. above contest, and three,
Officers and seveluteen Seamen and Marines wound-
ed, nine of whom'are in a •very-dmgerou's state.
The-Ship captured is called La 131-gete ; mounts
eighteen long, twelve-pounders, Manned with tB9
men, and was , commanded by Chaney Doolvis,
Capitaine of a Frigate, 'and Commodore Of the Flo-
tilla, and belonging to the Legion of Honour. She
is a remarkably tine Vessel, sails well, and is fit for,
his Majesiy's service.
I beg particularly to recorrimend to:your Lord-
ship's- notice Lieutenant W. Hepenstal, who ve4i;
the Senior ,Lientenant in the aftions of the 22d of
• July and 21 st of. Gelober, and who has been in the
Ship nearly five years, as an Officer deserving pro-
motion. The' gallanfrY and good condud of the
other OfficerS'und-Ship"s company- likewise deserves
my warmest aCknowledgments.
• I inclose Lisis of the killed'and wounded ; and
have the honour to be, &c.
