Citizens, among whom he has with pleasure seen

NAPLES., JULY 6.—The works of the siege of
.Gaeta bein4finished, it is allowable to give an idea
of the military operations which' have incessantly
taken place. The land front of this place consists
of irregular fortifications ; the first wall is cut out of
the rock, and it extends in the form of a very solid
bastion from the side of the Citadel. The batteries
of this front are raised to different heights, having
been constructed at different periods, and, according
to the effects which they produced on the different
points of the Isthmus., The irregularity of these
fortifications demanded bold operations; the French
lave executed them. Their works began by cover-
ed ways behind Bourg, a village situated on the
beach, and these were covered forward to the other
extremity .of the Isthmus. A line which commences
from the beach at Mola, and terminates at that of.
Scrapo, forms the chief and nearest parallel against
the place : it is the principal, because it is the only
one ; and the nearest, because it is only 80 toises
from the breast of attack. One hundred and.twenty
pieces of battering cannon are placed along this line,
and several other batteries have been raised on the
beach, to keep in al.ve the English' vessels. The
.sorties can no longer take place, without being ex-
tremely destrtidive to the besieged, since the space
between the works and the place is flanked by
the batteries. It is calculated, that the place can-
not hold out beyond 2 days after the fire has com-
menced.

PARIS, JULY 22.—The SeCretary of the Russian
Embassy at London has arrived here from Calais.
.A rumour is circulated here to day, that peace be-
tween France and Russia is not only concluded, but
is already signed, and this circumstance, it is hoped,
will'accelerate a general peace.
We are assured that Gaeta has proposed a capi-
tulation, so that the English Expedition fitting, out
for the Mediterranean will arrive only..to see that
fortress in our hands.

They write from Naples, that the Jesuits received
an order on th 3d, of July, to quit that city in
twenty-four hours it is thought they will take re-
fuge in Russia.

-;Notwithstanding all the rumours to the contrary,
every thing seems to confirm the opinion more and
more, that the Grand Army is upon the point of
evacuating the South of Germany.

I,ast Friday afternoon another English Flag of
Trace arrived at Calais, and landed the Secretary
of the Russian Legation; who immediately proCeed-
ed towards this capital. It is said that he has brought
dispatches, to M. IYOuaiti, which . relate to thr
:restoration of pe,iice.
