INT,Dz:ES-DAY, SEPTEMZER 0, 1809.

The Gazette of last night contains the Dis-
patches•fiom Sir JOHN STUART, relative to the cap-
ture of the Islands of Ischia and Procida, and those
of Major-General CAamicHAEL, announcing the
surrender of the City of St.-Domingo. Trey con-
firm, in all the particulars, what we stated to be the
substance of the Dispatches received from both those
gallant. Officers.

Sir JOHN S-ruaar having formed, in concert with
Rear-Admiral MARTIN, a proje& for operating a
diversion in favour of Austria, proceeded with great
protnptness to its execution. The Expedition sailed
from Sicily, on the 11th of June, and after menac-
ing the coast of Naples, a debarkation was effe6led
co the 24th of that month, on the Island of Ischia,
which surrendered on the 30111. A summons was.
immediately sent to the Garrison of Procidp,w hie!) sur-
ren,lered the same day, without opposition. Thessafile
do.; also (30th June) the greater parrot. a Flotilla Of
about 40 Neapolitan Gun-boats were, as 'we before
,stated, either captured or destroyed by a Squadron
tinder the command of Capt. STAINES, of tilt Cyaue.
Fifteen hundred prisoners were taken, and a great
quantity of stores and ammunition, including one
h..ndled pieces of ordnance.

In consequence of this well-timed diversion, a con-
siderable body of troops which had been previously
4etached from Naples as a reinforcement to the army
of Upper Italy, as well as neatly the whole of the
troops which had been sent into the Roman States
to aid the French usurpation of the. Papal dominions,
were hastily recalled to defend the Neapolitan coast.
On the .2d of July, the enemy destroyed their
works at Scylla, and evacuated the-Castle, leaving an
immense quantity of .Ordance and Stores, whiCh
had been placed there in depot, and-which fell info
our hands. The capture of these stores was of consi-
derable importance as-they had been progressively
accumulating by the enemy, preparatory to an
in-
tended invasion of Sicily.

The who!e of the, service was executed in a gal-
lant style, and we are happy to say with trifling
lozs.

By, the Dispatch of Major-General CARMICHAEL
t appears, that he sailed from Jamaica on the

7th of Jane, and arrived at Polirtue, in St. Do-
mingo on the 28411 ult.; on the 20th a Negotiation
commenced 4%4th the French General commanding
at the City of St. Domingo, which terminated in the
surrender of the City on the 6th of July, after
preparations had been made by our troops for an
assault. We have the satisfaction of stating, that no
loss whatever was su.zained by our troops in this
Expedition.

A Gotteni.)nrgh Alail arrived this morning. The
following are tllo,onfl articles of intelligence %%hid)

it brings.

GOiTEW.YRG, LUG. 28.—A report has been
spread to day, which has gained some confidence,
that the Prince AUGUSTENBURG had been arrested in
Norway, and Olaf his party had taken up arms to
support his cause.

STOCKEWLM, AUG. 24.---4 ls Royal Majesty has
received tile following Report irom General Count

WAcEITMUSiEL

Owing to the skilful arrangements and un-
wearied exertions of Admiral Baron PUKE, the fleet
sailed,' in 36 hours, from Hemasand to Ruta -Road,
where it came to anchor in a thick fog, which pro-
bably•prevented it frorn being perceived by the ene-
my, which could not be done during the whole
course of the -passage, singe the Admiral adopted
the measure of precaution of steering through East
ctuartan, the gun-boats being in tow of the ship of
war. At two o'clock this afiernoon the troops were
ordered to disembark. The van having been landed
with the first brigade,. my Adjutant-General, Co-
.
Innel LAGERBRING, marched himself, with part of
-,said•troops, to occupy Djekneboda, and another
part marched, under theorders.of Colonel Baron
FLETWOOD, it, the direction of Bygden. I have
this moment received the report that Djekneboda has
been taken. Captain; ANDERSON, who commanded
the first_. division of chasseurs, was wounded. I

intend, as soon 'as •possible,"l6pusii on against
Umea, 'and. shall feel extremely , happy in being
