SATURDAY, AUGUST 4, 1310.

We stated on Thursday, that the Dispatches from
Sir C. COTTON. contained accounts of several gal-
lant expl..its in the 'Mediterranean ; and the Gazette
of this§ eve, ing.will confirm the accuracy of o►ur
statement. The following. exploit has, We think,
seldom or ever been surpassed.

The boats of the Success, under the command
of Lieut. SARTORIUS, were dispatched to make an
attack upOn some vessels on the Beach of Casti-
glione. Thlfortutlatolyi however, the: boats on
going . in, struck on a sunken reef, and were
swamped; the consequeuee..was, that all the am-
munitioa was wetted, and of course rendered unfit.
fot use. The atEcers and Men, however, with

their cutlasses in their, mouths, swam to the shore
and landed under a fire of cannon, wall-guns, and

musketry.

As soon as they had effected their landing, they
attacked the enemy, who had taken
.a position be.
hind some rocks, drove ,them from thence, and at.
terwards from some houses to which they had re-
treated.

The Gazetie will besides contain an account of
the engagement between the Spartan and a French-

squadron, consiqing of a 42 guu frigate, a corvette
of Its guns, a brig of 8, and a Letter of to guns, and
eight gunboats mounting eaLh 'two 24. pounders,
iti which the brig was taken, and the remainder
driven under The batteries. And also a letter from
Capt. hi.tawesx, oft.the dikeste, giving an account
°fan attack made by the boats of that ship, upon
several feluccas, two of which were armed, which
were under the protection of a battery of two guns,
at the entrance of the Bay of Agaye four of the
feluccas were taken, and two, together with the
battery,, were.destroyed. •

We have received some more American Papers,
from one of which we have extraded the following

It is not unworthy of observation that Sir FRANCIS
BUADETT, in his speech at the recent patty dinner,
did not advert to his Condua.respecting tide Serjeant
at Arms, nor to his .clandestine mtreat from the
Tower, after suffering a vast mulGtUde to assemble
in expectation of seeing, him,• and thereby leaving
the 'metropolis exposed to all the violence and con-
fusion likely to result from the :disappointment.
This silence of the worthy Baronet, as he is ludi-
crously . called, might be ascribed to modesty, if
he had not been so bold, in his comments upon the
character and conduct of Lord GR EY, and-t he decisions

of the Court ofJustice on the subject of libels. The
*truth is, that the delusion he praised on the Ser-
jeant at Arms admits of no excuse or,pallinion. It
. _ .
was beneath the .tharaaer of a gentleman, and
therefore he was wise, in not drawing.,the recollec-
tion of the company towards it. The mode of his
reinoval fioin the Tower was still worse, and the
pretence he offered, by way of apology, viz. that it
wits proper that there should be an 'expression of
public sentiment, ridiculons and contemptible;
fur if by public sentiment, he meant a tumultuous
concourse of people, who profess to be of his way
of thinking, he had too often bad an opportunity of
witnessing wnat he calls an expression of public
sentiment. As this part of his conduct was
therefore more likely to produce popular disturb-
ance than his clandestine reheat,. it is no wonder
•that. he should pass it over in silence RE the patty
dinner. But in his attacks upon Lord GREY, for re•
linquishing those opinions which he entertained dur-
in the-inexperience of youth, (and the abandon
merit of which stews that his Lordship is a much
wiser man;, particularly too, by .avowing his change
of sentiment, at a nine when a band of desperate
meth'under pretence of reform, are attempting, to
overthrow the Cuuttituxioe) Sir FRANGiS BURDETT

CRS really attacked Lid:self illSi( ad of. Lord GEO'

for he proves that be is not only inca:).ible

111 by experience, but that his principles hale go"
dually become more violent, in proportion as ti'cY
have become more alarming. As to his domineuti
on the decisions of the Court of Jus icc, in cases
- to-which it is unnecessary to refer, they must exe:e
the contempt and indignation of all honest well;
for at no period, and in na country, was the osor4c-
ter of Judges' more upright, and the adnaibistrgrio9
of justice more pure then.at the present time. 13`it
the worst part of the 13aronet's speech, was that
which. related to Ireland, the. whole tendency' ct
which, appeared to be. to create jea;olisv b-2t‘yee
the two countries, and under an affected pity for
the Lid), to fill them wit!' &sew:tent. There iS
something so little consist( nt wtth rea. public siArit'
or true sense of Rttrio.i,in, and the Literal naive
of the Brit!sh charaeter, in the uttetak:ce of send'
tricots calculated to Lave such an effect, at the tine
when the Catholic Question ha; produced such agi*.
tation, that we know not what .language' to apply 19
it, and therefore we stall lea% e it to the abhorrence
.
of every man who wishes to preserve inamorlY
throughout the United Kingdom, that we may be
able more rtle•tually to make a stand against the
op;,ressor of Europe, aua, the general enemy of ail
mankind.
