Gentlemen, Depu•les of the Departments tO the Legitimise Bo-
dy—Wlasm I Waived to write to the Kiog of England, I made a
facrilice of the moil legitimate ref-eminent, and the moil honour-
able paifions. The defire of (paring the Mind of my people railed
me above thole confiderarions which ufually• determine men. I
than always be ready to make the fame Lulus. I have placed
my glory and my happinefs in th, happinefs of the prefent genera-
tion. !with, that as far as my influence may emend, that the reign
of philanthropic and generous ideas may be the charadler of the
age. It is for one, to whom Each fentiments cannot be imputed as
a wain& ; it is for you ; it is for the milt's*, the molt enlighr
end, the moft humane people, to remind the civilized nations of
Europe,that they only form one family, and that the efforts they
employ in their civil diff.ntions we only attacks on the common
preeperity. Gentlemen, Deputies of the Departments to the Le.
[Waive Body, I rely on your alliftance at on the bravery of my

The Deputation of the LegiOative Body having
retired, the Grand Mader of the Ceretnrmies intro-
duced the Tribunate as a Body, when M. FANNIE, the
fail to give information to Admiral Nt tsoir, and was
vigoroufly purfued by tome French (hips, but efcaped
by favour of the night. Twenty-four hours after
the French fquadron had come out of the harbour,
Captain Cou aye eV BOYLE had come up with Admi-
ral NC LION, who immediately bore away towards
the coaft of Sicily, with eleven or twelve (hips. The
Engli(h fquadron was on the Weßern fide of that
illand, oppofite Trapani, and near the ifland called
Il Mat itimo, where, on the 24th of January, Captain
COURTNEY BOYLE was difpatched to carry difpatches
to Naples, and remain to make obfervationa at the
head of the Gulf.
" It is Paid that he afterted, that one or other of
the two kingdoms was menaced by the French
fquadron, and in effed for the Lift twenty-four hours
every place has refounded with military preparations
for the defence of the Gulf, thong!, it has a thoufand
times been acknowledged that it is abfolutely inde-
fenfible on all the points of the coaft. Scarcely bad
the gireen received the difpatches brought by the
Engtitb frigate, when nN the ordered M. de —ANE CO
take all poffible means to prevent the French troops
from landing and feizing on the city."
Note.—We can give no credit to this intdrigence ; it would be
too anderd to believe 'that a French army, being its the Neapolitan
terrkory, within eve days march of the capital, the expenee of a
maritime expedition would be incurred to land troops to feize on
that eity..—Masimor.
The Englith have at Malta the following regi-

likewife is beginning to be formed, having nearly,

fiderable quantity of corn, fufficient for the fupply of
a numerous garrifon during feveral years; the laft
convoy from the Black Sea confided of about 35 vef-
fels. Meat is fierce. becaufe Sicily, which has hi-
therto furnithed a great deal, at prefent offers only
moderate refourcest beads are porch:did on the coati
of Africa. There were on the ;ft of January more

Englifb frigate. Two of them unexpectedly appear-
ed akin, and teemed to be intent on boarding ; but
the galliot received them with fo heavy a fire of great
guns and makeup, that one of them loft almott all
her crew, and the other was fo roughly handled that
the thought it better to (beer off, taking her contort
in tow. Two of their feamen, badly wounded, were
pieked up by the Frenchmen. be Lieutenant who
commanded the boats was killed.

ALGIIRS, Jea. to.—The inglith have appeared

and the Minifter of Marine.

Hstssuaott, Fla. B.—The Courts of Vienna and
Berlin have commenced a negociation, which will
probably lead to a more intimate connexion between
the two Powers. It appears that they are not difpof-
ed to embroil themitives with refped to the new
changes in Italy, but that they are defirous of pre-
venting the interference of Foreign Powers in the
affairs of-gummy: There is a report of an Una'.
