(ANOTHER LETTERS SAME DATE.)

Ttilsday several letters were received by Com-
mercial Houses here from Sicily, which state that
t;.
• Captain or a Ship arrived at Palermo, had made
:tit that there had been an Mlion between
ngliSh Squadron under Sir J. BORL'ASE WAR
of Thirteen Ships of War, and that of the
tinder Adm. GANTHEAUME, of Seven Ships
, and a number of Transports, in which the
!. obtained a complete Vidory.

'•NA4l,lPirai WARREN, according to
.the account
by this Captain,' had , received information
t.ilat the French .Squadron. was at Messina. I-le
therefore- posted his Fleet advantageously. in the
Channel between Naples and Sicily, to receive
that of the French, which on its arrival tl-erql found
itself surrounded, and after a severe Engagement, in
which the French- lost several Ships and
_a great
number of men, Admiral PANTHE AVM E finding
11° way to escape, surrendered with all the re_
Inainder of his Fleet, which_ was carried into Malta,
where Four Ships of the Line, Three Frigates,
and' severaLThollsand Men, among whom was the
Youngest Brother of the Chief Consul BON A T ;
1141 arrived. After this complete Viaori,,Adini,
ral WARREN detached some Ships to Ancona, as
lie had received advice that there were French
Ships in the Adriatic.

Within these three days there has been much talk
of an Engagement having taken place between the
ngiish ,Squadron under Vice-Adm. WAR REN and
ihe French under Admiral GANTHEAUNIE. It is
reported they met off' the Coast of Southern Cola_
brig, at -the distance of some leaves from Ca‘pe
;- that •the Anion did not last long, but
,oat th,,trencl,l,Spips of the. Line and Frigates stitick
• .
their Flagt„ 9Rd surrendered to superior force.
This intedigence has been received by the Mas-
ter of a small vessel arrived at Terra-nuava, a port
situated on the Southern side of Sicily. He has de-
posed with the customary forms, that at the moment

of his departure from Malta, he saw the English
Squadron arrive there, consisting of Thirteen Ships
f the Line and some Frigates, bringing in the
Enemy's Ships, on which the I)ritish Flag was
flying, The letters from. Terra-nuova positively
assert, that the Master of the -Vessel had offered to
the Governor of the Town to confirm 'by
,an oath
..ruch of the intelligence he had broughi, and to.
.-rgo the most rigorous punishment should it be
false.—(Gazette de ilanthour )
