BANKi OF THE DANUBE, AUGUST I.
Commercial letters from Venice, of the zeith of July,
bring advice, that the effeas of the peace concluded
with Ruflia are already felt there. The port of Ve-
nice, it is well known, was blockadzd by a number of
frigates and other !hip.; of war, two thirds of which
were Ruffian, and the reit Englilh. The former, in
confequence of the orders they have received, have
quitted their Ration, and failed for Corfu, where they
wait further orders with refpeCT to their future deßi•
nation. There arc orly fume Engin frigates and
corvettes remaining before the port, which continue
to refute entrance to any neutral velfels ; but as they
are at fume dillanct, feveral Venetian fhips have made
their escape from the port, and failed for the places
of their dellination. if the Englifh do not receive
reinforcements, it is not poflible that they Would long
maintain this blockade.
The blockade of Triefte is already railed. The
Englifh who were before that port have failed away,
and gone, it is laid, to the harbours of Sicily, to re-
d pair their (hips, which have fuffered much by a tior.

FROM ANOTHER OFFICER.

Magna, June 22.

Two days after my left in May, I was obliged
to make a moil precipitate retreat from Reggie, the
French having entered the town before I got well
clear of it ; the poor Neapolitans having received
from them a mot} confounded druhbing. 1 certainly
expeCted this, but 'could not imagine it poffible for
the French to follow up their victories In extremely
clofe. The battle took place between the little town
of Milia and Monteleone on the 27th of May, and
for force hours was very doubtful; but the French
having by a circuitous route rent a body of troops to
attack their rear, by this manoeuvre, and from the
cowardly conduit of the Neapolitan Cavalry, the poor
fellows were obliged to run for it. We are all ex•
tremely lorry, particularly for the gallant Prince of
lieffe Philiplial, whole bravery is defcribcd to have
been aftonithing on this unfortunate day. The
French General R sotstE R cr.mmanded in perfon, but
has little to lama of by this btifinefs : his force was
fuperior, and by their own accounts had Soo killed,
and General Attestor was mortally wounded.
The Neapolitans had Soo killed, and as many taken
ptifoners, with eight light guns. RION ILK remained
two dayslefore Reggio ; but finding the Callle fo
well defended by a fmall body of Neapolitans, and
feting our tranfports in motion, with our referve,
thought it prudent to retreat to his former p 116(.11.
We have juft heard of the fafe arrival of the rein-
forcements for Alexandria. The troops there are in
good health, and well fupplied: we are happy to find
that nearly the whole of Lieutenant Colonel MACDO-
NALD'S Divifion are living, and well treated by the
Turks. Some few Britith foldiers who had (haggled
have been fold for flaves, and little hopes remain
of their recovery.
