They write from Naples, that the Comnsairelrsest
of Gaeta, not having had any intelligence of the
faigious perfons whom he had fent out in a forth' to
excite the people to revolt, had fent a pet fon of the
name of Francefen Torelli to obtain inf., rmation ;
and who had no boner left the place, than he gave
himfelf up to the Conflituted Authorities neareß
Gaeta, declaring that he did not accept of the Prince
of Hefe Philipflahrs Commiffion with any other
view, than to withdraw from the oppreflion under
which the people of Gaeta laboured. He depored
at the fame time, that the Prince dared nor under-
take any thing without the approbation of the Eng-
lilh Commandant, who had affumed all the autt-o-
rity. The intelligence dire& from Sicily wnuld make
it appear, that the Englifh no longer think of de-
fending that Wand againft the French ; and that a
part of their artillery, and all their camp equipage,
were already embarked.

The following Official Report from Commodore
Bailli has been tranfmitted to our Government by
Vice Admiral Sinawin :
" During the period that Commodore Bahl remained at Cur-
sok, after having fent the French plotters to Ccirfu, together with
fix prises, he &patched leveret (choosers upon an expedition to the
iland of Lifa, to prevent the flight of the enemy. The Commaa-
dant of thefe rads took poffeffion of the Wand of Lucca, together
with a chebeck of three mafts and thirty-nine French foldiere.
" Commodore Bail bad left a (mall detachment of &hikes an-
der Lieutenant Wolegekow at Curio's, and then failed with the
r..malnlog detachment upon another undertaking."
The Admiral continues thus As I bad occafion to leave
the Mouths of the Cattaro on the 26th April, I found upon my
return to Curzola a flag flying, but no perfons upon the gland, the
inhabitants excepted. Soon after we this:meted tome French ten-
tinela, and we learned that in the night of the 26th. about 350
French had landed from fever veffels, carried off Commodore.
Bailli's detachment, and got poleffion of the tomes. Two only
of there reffels cfcaped before our arrival ; the other five were
captured by the frigate Awtroil. But much as I wilted to circa a
landing on the fame day in order to retake the Ls trek, the wind
would not permit the undertaking. lathe night of the 28th, the
French {leaped from reverel points of the ifland in a number of
boats to the oppofite coait 6f Ragulk. One of theft boats, with
16 faller*, fell into our hands. The reit were In Intent upon
their ilight,that they even left our own people behind them, whom
they had made priluoers before, the Lieutenant Wuiegekow CZ?
cepted him they carried with them.
" After having fecured the 'land of Curzola, I left the frigate
Awtroll behind me, and failed for Lefica on the 29th. Between
this Wand and Lira, I fell In with the A fix, Commodore Baiili, who
informed me that he had been at Lefina with the Alia, the che-
beck Huard, the fchooner Expedition, the brig Letun, another
chebeek, and a corfair, on the tyth. On the 18th be fitted out
two barks that had been fent Into the Gulf of Palermo, and eta out
a veffel belonging to the enemy. On the 19th he crated a battery
upon a (mall Mandel. the mouth of the port of Urine, to cover the
landing of the troops. The French foon commenced a fire of mat.
quetry upon our workmen, and upon the detachment fent to cover
them ; but they were foon driven off, while the fire of our battery
['kneed that of the enemy. At the fame time too men were landed
under Captain Storowbogatow, and 42 armed icemen. This de-
tachment forced the French to retreat, and drove them into the
church yard, which it took poffeilion of; but here the enemy col-
leCting all their itrength, and being joined by the inhabitants, our
detachment were in their turn compelled to give May to the ow-
my's fuperior numbers.
Oa our fide It men were killed, and 53 wounded ; Captain

SEMLIN, JUNE i 6.

On the loth inflant, Lieutenant-General Davido.
vich arrived here from Petcrwaradin. Next day he
went on board a large Imperial faick, with a number
of Officers, and defcended the Danube, to within a
little diftance of Pacra, to reconnoitre at a dillance
the camp of the infurgents, and their entrenchments.
From the 4th to the Bth, nothing has taken place
before Belgrade, but a few trifling fkirmiffies. The
Servians conitruit new works on different points:
they appear to have entirely given up the idea of
taking the place by (tom, which they would have
found the more difficult, as they have but few pieces
of large artiller►. Czerni George, who is conflantly
before Schabatz, has, it is Paid, prohibited any enter-
prize againfl Belgrade before his return.
In the night of the Bth and soli, the befieged threw
come bombe into the Servian redoubts, but they did
no niifchief. On the tollowis.g hight, the infurgents
fired with red but ball on the lower town ; feveral
places took fire, and one houfe was entirely burnt.—
Since that there has been nu cannonade.

In the evening 4,1 the 1 tth, the infurgents received
a new reinforcement of lonic thouldnd men, and they
expea dill mote troops. The hAtteries erefted againil
the Lower Town are furnithed with eighteen pieces
of cannon, hetidn three mortars.

The day before yeftcrday, a Terkifh courier, from
Conliantinorle to PAM, by the way of Vienna, paired
through this Place. He has affored us, that a body
of 4c.033 Ottoman troops was on its march to Servia,
and that, after the mtafores which were about to be
taken, tranquillity would loon be reftoted in that
province.

Jurr 20.—The redoubts and other wnrks under.
taken by the Servians to encircle Belgrade nn all fides,
are now completely fi,.ilhed. On the 18th at feven
in the evening, the Turks commenced a very bulk
fire ri artillery and noifquetry, which latlid till the
Intoning of next chi f. The Servians made a vigorous
return to this fi-e. There has been alto a fevere
Ikir-
nrilh, in which the Turks had feveral men killed,
wounded, and taken. The istfiirgents cut off the heads
of thefe laa. The Lower Town of Belgrade is de
ferted, thole of the inhabitants who flirt remained
having retired into the Upper Town. It continues
to be aliened, that a very numerous Turkilb army is
on iii march to Sends, vim:landed by the Pacha of
Romelia.. Ceerni George is, it is Paid, in the environs
of Drina, where he is making the neeeltarg
tions to re6ll this army.

' • The Mellinger whofe arrival we annoorced yef-
teray, brought difpatches from M. D'Ouriett at
Paris, to the Ruffian Ambaffador here. The fub
Rance of the difpatches was cOlipmunicated to our
Government, and a Cabinet Council ma at one
o'clock, at Mr. 17rx's Office. tolakcjilifectSe into
confiderat ion. It kerns, probable that the7objett of,
M. D'Ouaiis.'s miffrin to Paris is known to this
Government, and that a pedal underflandiag exills '
with the Court of St. Peterthurgh ; and from this
we may infer that there is not the fmalleft degree
of truth in the Continental reports of Ruffia being
engaged in negociations for a feparate peace.
At the Stock Exchange, however, it is this day
rumoured, that fuch a liparate negotiation is ac
tually on foot, and in confequence the Funds are
rather lower. At one o'clock the prices were 3 per
Cent.Confols for Willey 6a a 4; for Augua 6a4 a 4,
Reduced 621 a 1; Omnium for money 6 a 4, and
for Auguit account 64.
