GERMAA PAPERS.

ZAItA, JUNE 22.—a few days ago two English fri-
gates, togethet carrying 90. guns,, were met by an
Italian 'flotilla, consisting of two gun-boats. and a
small vessel, near the little Island of Pontadiora, in
the.vicinity of Nona. An engagement, very ho-
nourable to the Italian flotilla, was the consequence.
The Commandant, after having for a long time
maintained the conflict with the enemy, was obliged
to yield to so superior a force, end retired into the
road of that island, which is without defence.—
He valiantly sustained the crossed fire of the En-
glish, sunk three of their long-boats which they sent
towards the coast, and broke a mast of one of their
frigates. At last, finding there was no hopes of
saving the vessels, he landed their crews and set
.fire to them. The two frigates, too Much da7
maged to land men and attack the crews, were
compelled to sheer off. They direaed their course
towards the coast 'of Sicily,,.
