7 The' wife &General Sarrazin has sent the follow-
ing letter to -General Vatidatnme, dated Basle, the
28,h Oh.

" beg• your Excellency to excuse the
lineriy I tike in stating to you my unfortunate situ-
ation, and begging you to grant me your protection..
" For upwardrof two years past I have been
living iii Switzerland, my native country, with my
son, now five years of age : I was before suflit;ient-
ly unfortUnate in being obliged, by the bad treat-
ent -of General' Sarrazin, ,my husband, which I
can prove- I never deserved, to -I(ve at a distance
frOm and-I am now much more unhappy in
.learning from the Moniteur of the ltitb ins;.- the
crime of which he has been guilty. Since I have
191:len in Switieriand, he- has been accustomed to
write his sou; bitt' he ha's sent no letter these
tour months past. • His letters, which I have kept,
prove his attachment to his Majesty the Emperor,
and his zeal for his service; but at the same time
,strengthen the suspici,ns which I had seven years
ago, of his intellects being deranged; and I atu per-
suaded that his last unfortunate resolution proceeded
from no other cause.

I do- not know whether my husband- has left
any property in Prance : if he has lett none, Or if
my.' son and myself be deprived of %.% hat he may
have left, we shall be with,ut any resource. I trust
in your Excellency's goodness, and I prestime to
beg of you to be kind enough to inteiest ymisell in
our layoff, and to: cause to oe reeved for our un-
fortunate (who, although innocent of his
latlnA'S t, will bear the punishment of it during
his dlr.—tune& w atever property the General may
have lett .st Boulogne. I beg, &c,

NAPLES, JULY are in expeEtalion of
great events shor%iy taking plaee, and nobody doubts
of su:.cesi. The King has an excellent army, and
upwards of sop trat sports and 80 gun-boats ; his
navy is also daily augmenting: The troops are fall
of ardour.

Sev LLA; JUNE -30,--His Majesty being -persuad-
ed that the enemy -could undertake no enrerprize
for 48 hours after the.-e.ng,gettietti of yesterday, in
which they had consideraoly suffered, immediately
sent an Officer to Tanila and Pizzo, with orders to
hasten the sailing of the convoys. In consequence,
seventy-two Vessels arrived at ti'e anchoriiig place
on the shore cif Pietra-I\E!ra, t:om whence they are
now standing for Bagneray-and they will arrive this
night, at Scylla. The enemy has • descried 'them
during the whu\le a the day ; but. he has not been
able to send any force 'either tO observe them or
give chase ro them.
The coats of Scylla; Torre di Gavello, and Ponta
del Pezzo, are -cmerecl with totirries. The King
appears to intend to make Scylla tie centre of hitt
operations. • • . _

There are no sick in the army. The hospital of
.Tropea was opened for the wouticled in the late dif-
ferent anions.

The King enjoys the best state of health. '-

Turkey mention that another victory had been ob-
tained by .the

army, under the command of the Grand Vaier.

The news of the first checks occasiooei the most
rirtul sensation in Constantinople : all thi' ills-
posahle‘trogps were sent to the army, and it was
said that, more.truops were to be sent for from Asia.
The troops that were to go to the frontiers of
