Sicilian Messenger, sailed from Fahnouth on then
9th of July; arrived at G!braltar on th,-; t7rh ;
found lying there the Cumbrian and Porcupine
frigates-; Minitrei and Gi-askopper sloops of war.—
The Minstrel had just brought In three
.AlgerineS,
bound to Marseilles, valuable .prizes, being ire. cb
property. _

Battalions, 2d &Mahon of the 9th Foot, Colonel
Alone; ilnd 2d Battalion of the 30th Foot.

Four companies of the 21st Foot were landed
about the 7th of June, at Reggio, and took posses-
sion shortly after of Palma, in Calabria.- In the
night, •or early in the morning, a squadron of 500
French dragoons entered the place, and killed or took
the whole of the four companies. Capt. O'Connor
was killed, and Capt. M'Kay wounded. The troops
were completely surprised, haying too much ;,
deuce in the Calabrians; It is a fact-, that the Cor-
poral of the guard was taken by surprise, and killed,
and evenitis bayonet was not fixed.
French privateers are very plenty off Sardinia, acid
have taken many prizes.

The above account was brought to Gibraltar by

laws of their country, in Hoisemonger-lane in the

Assiduous and laudable Industry will, doubtless,
in. a series of years, often amass large Fortunes from
small beginnings ; but we can challenge the inven-
tion of man to devise any mode, excepting one, by.
which it is possible for an Individual, by risking a
very few Pounds, to obtain in a single moment,
iO,OOOl. Yet such may peremptorily be the,case, in
the present novel and highly improved State Lottery
Scheme.
