TRIEST, Juan 6.—Notwithflanding the late ma.
nifelto, the Ruffian Iquadron has not yet left this
port. On the 4th, two of their (hips of the line
flretehed towards Iflria, where they we: e attacked by
a (warm of Italian gun boats, but without effea.—
The Ruffian chips that remain here axe out of the
reach of the batteries.

Twee thoufand Auflrians are embarking for the
Mouths of the Cattaro, to deliver up the forts to the
French, with the artillery which was there at the

RAGUSA, Tows 9.—Four thoufand Montene-
grins, fupported by a corps of Ruffian troops, enter-
ed the territory of Ragufa. They deftroyed every
thing in the plain of Cognioli with fire and (word ;
it is difficult to form an idea of their barbarity. Four
hundred French, who were Cent forward to won.
mitre, compelled them to halt. General Laurillon,
informed of their number, ordered Colonel Tefie,
with fifteen hundred men, to advance. A battle took
place, and the barbarians were driven at the point of
the bayonet to their mountains.-1141

NAPLES, Jima 14. —According to the IA ac-
counts from Gaeta, the place is more and more in-
dicted by the Prenel. The third parallel is formed,
and it is hoped that the place will furrender, and not
rind the confequences of a Rorm. It is added, that
the entrance into the harbour is much incommoded
by a battery of mortars, lately opened; and that
feveral reeds have been Itruck with bombs while at
their moorings, where they were fuppofed to be in
perfeft fafety.

MILAN, June 13.—The Ruffian fquadron having
attempted an attack on the night of the 3d infi. in the j
neighbourhood of Capo &Ulna, was completely re-
pulled. The inhabitants of Mu a, who took up arms
againft the enemy, contributed much to make them
'retreat. by keeping op an inceffant and well direded
6re againft them. General Seras made a report of
this affair to his Imperial Highnefs the Viceroy of
Italy. who has ordered the Prefed of the Department
of Ibis to exprefs to the brave inhabitants of Muja
his fatisfallion in their seal and bravery upon this
occafion.

ROME, MAY 17.—The Prince of Heffe
Ilhal has atitially received a reinforcement of Englifh,
though their number is nut known. Yefterday he
made a fur tie with three columns ; the firft, confin-
ing of about five hundred Englifh and Neapolitans,
went by water to a dinance of fix miles from the
place. The greaten part of them took poffeffion of
the little fort of Sr. Andrew, upon the high road to
Naples, where they killed a number of French belong-
ing to the garrifon. and (piked the cannon; but being
loon after attacked by a Coperior number of French,
so Englifh and 8o Neapolitans were made prifoners,
one of whom was hanged immediately upon an olive
tree by the road fide. The reit of the column retreat-
ed to the mountains, and it is probable that their re-
treat to Gaeta is cut off. The other two columns,
with the Prince at their head, made an attack upon
the French works ; but after a little fkirtuifhing they
returned to the fortrefs. In the mean time the Eng-
lifh kept up a brille cannonade from the lea, and did
Come damage to the French. Sicily has an army of
30,000 men on foot for its defence, bat mon of the
officers arc natives. Sir Sidney Smith is cruising off
Gaeta.
Julia g.—Fifteen thonferd French troops at pre-
fent occupy, it is Paid provifionally, the Ecclefiallieal

pet the (peed), rekoration of a good underfianding
between France and Raffia.
CONSTANTINOPLE,May 28.—We have again
received intelligence of tbc affemblage of a !refs di-
vifion of the Ottoman troops. This new rendezvous
is at Salonica; in Greece.
The la letters from Arabia bring very onpleafant
accounts of th.: progrefs of the • Wechabites. They
have lately flopped the carravaa with the Pilgrims
going to Mecca, (hot the Nei= who conduaedthem,
and killed a number of his people. nide rebels are
already augmented to a formidable army, and theirs
numbers daily increefe, which occafions much tut-
' eafinefs in the Divan. •

taro, from whence he was Come Itundred miles :dif-
tant at the time, but in confequenee etf feveral other
complaints against him from Prole') officers 1 and as
our Court has taken up this enquiry in a ferioutirtight,
it is looked upon as a manila proof of the regard in
which they hold the etteem and frierldthip of the
French.

Jlln■ tB.—The report that Ragufa is blockaded by
Ruffian and Britifb Ships of war, wants confirmation.
Lail Saturday our garri(on manoeuvred, upon the
glacis, and performed feveral evolutions in the French
manner. •

People continue to perfuade themfelves, that they
perceive new fymptoms of an approximation betvleen
France and Ruifia. For louse time pail, Count Re-
fumoss fki, the Miniller of the latter, has had repeated
conferences with M. La Rochcfoucault, the French
Envoy.

A French courier, who arrived here by way of
Munich, has brought the neceffary paffports for the
Ruffian State Melfenger, M. D'Oubril ;—and that
Gentleman. whom the newfpapers had prematurely
fent to Park, k now actually upon the point of fitting
out for that city.
Since. in the courfe of the late rupture, there has
been repeated occafion for remarking bow Err the
French troops excelled ours in the art of .war, and in
manceuvres, we are now engaged in inftruding the
garrilon in come of the principal evolutions, &c. ; an
example which we fuppofe will be followed by the
rell of the army. Count Kevenholler, our Envoy
at femme, is recalled. his thought that. in (Inure, a
Charge d'AffaiLif wily will be employed dun.
