The following very curious statement is con-
tained in a private letter from a person of excel--
lent. judgment and information on the Continent :
" MURAT, the Gallo-Italie King of Naples, has
actually offered to the Court of Vienna to join the
Allies with 40,000 men, and drive the French Out of
Italy. lie requires only that Austria should gua-
rantee to hi►u the kingdom of Naples, Sicily be'
do..s not want. The Emperor FRANCIS verbally ac
cepted of, this offer, on condition that' it was ap-
proved of b) England,'ltnisia, and Prussia. Car-
dinal RUFFO having heard of this, immediately pre-
se►►red a me►►►oriel, reminding the Emperor that the
Queen of NAPLES is his aunt. 11ETTERNICII is
said to have answered the Cardinal, that the Em-
rartein re►pinded him that the Empress of FRANCE
is his daughter ; and that if he deemed it right,
fin the sake of Europe, to take up arms against
his son-in-law, be could not be expected to be
• very attentive to the interests of his aunt. The
proposal of INNRAT has already been co►umunicat-
ed to the Cabinet of St. -James's, and been ap-
proved of there."

WAR DEPARTNENt.
botinzing,Street, June 15, Isl 3.

A Dispatch, of Which the following is ati tx4
tract, his heed received this morning by tart
Datlitirst, addres«crt to his.-tottiship by the
(vasof Weitnigton, dated Cayvajales, May 31,
-1813.

rriA troops arrived at 'Salamanca on the 2iith
ifist: and we found the enemy still in the town,
with one division of infantry and three squadrons
of cavalry, and some cannon; cif the Army of the
South, antler the dcionnand of General Villatte.
'rite enemy evaaitate'd the town at our approach,
but they waited longer thou they ought upon the •
high ground in the neighbourhood, and afforded
an opportunity for the cavalry under Gen. Vane
and General Victor Alter) (the former of wititli
crossed the 'formes, at the ford of Santa Marina,
and the latter at the bridge) to do them a good
deal of injury in their retreat. Many were
or Wounded, and we took about 200 prisoners, 7
tun-limits of ammunition, sonic baggage, provi-
sions, &c. The enen y retired by the road of Ba-
bila Fuentti, and near fluerta were joined.by a
body of infantry and cavalry on their march.
then ordered our troops to discontinue their pur-
suit, Our infantry not being up.
Major-General Long and Brigadier-General
Morillo, in the command of the Spanish division,
attacked Alba, front which place the enemy re-

tired.
In the course of the 27th,and 28th, I establish-
ed the troops which had marched from the Ague-
tln and Upper Estremadura, between the Tomes
and Douro, under the cotninand of Lieutenant-
General Sir RADII, and I set oil' myself on the 29th
to join the troops here, and arrived that day at Mi-
randa de Douro, and here on the 31st. I found the
troops on the Esla, tinder the orders of Sir Tho-
mas Graham, as I had intended with their lett at
Tabara, and in communication with the Gallician
army, and their right at this place, and all the ar-
rangenients made for passing the Esla. The
greater part passed that river this morning, the
cavalry by a ford, and the infantry by a bridge,
which it vas' necessary to throw over the river,
as it was 'fb steep, thatsome men, even of the caT
airy, were lost in the passage. The English hus-
sars, who crossed. tir,,t, took an officer awl 3U men
prisoneN, near Va!derpices.
The enemy have evacuated Zamora, and our pa.
troles have been in that town ; the troops whit;:
were there have fallen back upon Toro, where J
understand they have one division of infantry and
a brigade of cavalry.
It appears that the enemy have joined at LANs,.
va del Rey, the troops which retired from S4t.
maten, Aviia, &c. with those which were at A,v4!
ralo and Medina del Campo ; and I imagine tha
as this part of the army atiVittlCCs, they will relit,
across the Douro.
The enemy's troops were still at Nadrid and •Q 1
the Tagus on the 2211, but 1 conclude that the
will have evacuated that part of the eouatry of
hearing of our movements. .

In the absence of Sir Robert Laurie, I have tl
the satisfaction of transmitting Captain Napier
letter and reports, receiVed this day by the Fur
ciic, stating the capture of the island of Ponaa L
the Thames and Furieuse, under his •orders,
10th regiMent, under the orders of Lieut.-Cu
Coifin, without the loss of a single. man.
congratulate yon, Sir, on the capture of th
island, as, by Captain Mounsey's report, it atm
a commodious mole for the frigates employed
that coast , with a plentiful supply of Water.

Stit, - Feb. 27, 1813.
Agreeable to your directions, I embarked Lie
tenatit,Colonel Coffin, and the 2d battalion of ti
10th regiment, on the 16th instant, and arriv
off Ponza on the 231, the harbour of which
about a quarter of.a.mile wide, with a mole at t
extreme end of it, defended by four batterit
mounting ten 24 and 18-ptninders, and two 9. in

mortars,
Colonel edam, and myself agreed, that t
shortest and surest road to success, was by re
ring both ships into the mole, and carrying t
place by assault ; but , the weather was natty();
able for such an attach until the morning of
26th, when the ships bore up in close order wit"
'fine breeze.
The enemy were prepared for our receptii
and opened their tire nearly l►alf an hour bell
our guns could bear : the, batteries were, bowel;
'passed with little injury, the ships engaging
both sides, and the Thames was anchored act
the mole•head, the Futieuse bringing up a lit
astern of her;

Colonel Coffin and the troops landed the Sf
instant, and p;►shed for the height of a Sti,
tower, into which the enemy htid retreated,
their appearance, together with the severe
from the ships, induced the Governor to hoi
flag of truce, and agree to the inclosed cap
lation. '

I have much pleasure in informing you
this•service has been performed without the
of a man in either profession : Our being bu

to Captain Mounsey for the excellent support
gave, and his pliekness in followkg our motio

doubt but we should have succeeded, particul
with such a storming party
as Colonel Cash
