I..FAHOLN, JULY 3 t.—Yefterday morning an
Englifh fleet of eight fail, partly fhips of the line,
and frilly frigates, which were fuppofed to belong
to Admiral Waaasx's fquadron, made its appear-
ance at the diflance of so or t a leagues from our
harbour. Three Frenchfrigates which blockaded
Porto Ferrajo immediately cheered off. One of
them took filcher under this guns of Orbitello, the
other two, which were chaced, with great difficul-
ty got in here. Towards evening the Englifh
Retied to the North-weft. •
ANOTNIR LITTSIL, UPC( DAM—The appear-
ance of an Englifh fquadron off our coat has
greatly changed the lunation of affairs. The
three French frigates which covered the liege of
Porto Ferrajo, have indeed made their efcape ;
but Admiral WAILIAN, on his arrival on the coat
of Italy, has taken a great number of (hips near
Piombino : he partly took and partly deftroyed a
French flotilla, having troops on board defined
for the ifland of Elba • he leas alfo taken feveral
veffels off that if]and. Should an Englifh fquadron
remain in thofe teas, the French belleging corps on
the ifland of Elba•rnuft either perifh with hunger
br furreader ; for all communication with that
island is now entirely cut off.

ANOTHER LETTS", SAMS D•rs.—The Englifh
haVe fuddenly fruftrated all the deligns of the
French againft Porto Ferrajo, which has fo refo-
lutely defended itfelf. When Admiral WARREN,
Who lately went in quell of Admiral GANT H EAU 14 R,
btli without effect, appeared yefterday off our
coati, and two of the French frigates ran into our
harbour, the inhabitants were greatly alarmedneft
the Englifh thould attempt to force them out.—
The ftorm, to our great joy, however, patted over
its, but it fell with great fury at Piornbino, and
towards Porto Ferrajo. The whole ifland of
Elba is now in the power of the Englifla ; and the
French troops which are !till encamped at Lon.
gone have, it is laid, no other choice, bnt to fur-
render or perifh with hunger. Betides a frigate
and a tartan, the Englifh have taken, funk, and
bthettrife dedroyed all thofmaller veffels employed
UT the French in this expediticin. Six ammunition
waggons, with a number of troops, almott with-
out any arms, have precipitately taken refuge in
Leghorn ; but many ammunition waggons, and
the *ar-cheft, have fallen into the bands of the
Englifh. Porto Ferrajo is now completely deli-
vered, and the inhabitants have nothing more to
fear.

This expedition has colt the French a great num-
ber of men, from the obftinate defence of the gar-
*fedi and from ficknefs as their Fick' were conti-
nually coming into the hofpitals here.
ITALY, AUGUST 3.—Accounts have been re-
ceived that the Engi;fh have taken eon of the

Government.
