lish 1..-incied3o6o men near Scilla, to which they laid

time to finish it. He fell upon them with the ra-
pidity of lightning., The English, who relied -upon
a wovernent of the Calabrians in their favour, were
surprfsed to see them' in the French ranls.
Disappointed at this discovery, they raised the: siege,

and embarked ; but
.not time enough tc) prevent

By Letters from Prague it appears, that Peace
betWieen Austria and. France had- not been concluded
on the 25th ultimo. It is not, however, to be
inferred that a Peace will not' take 'place,
though there were some demonstrations on' the
part of Austria, which led to the conjeeture
that she is not prepared for an entire abandonment
of all that must be dear to her homiur and her inte-
