MEDITERRANIA2I.

A letter from
,MeMna, dated Des. 24, tBo6Jays,
" The whok of the force which failed from England for this
Mend, In September laft, has arrived here to perfeet fafety. Our
force, which at prefent amounts to so,coco men, is itationediprinci-
pally along the emit, from Mdazzo to Syraeufe ; but the princi-
pal part of it is quartered at Melazzo, and hs neighbourhood.—
Meffina is the head quarters of the army. The Guards are fta-
tioned at Catania, Augutta, and Syraeufe. The French in Cala-
bria made a dennoaftration a few nights ago, of approaching Reg-
gio, but they hive time retired, and it is now fuppofed to have
been only a feint.

" bac mum 30 ...The lower part of Calabria is Rill free from
the French, and we have a garrifon at Scylla and Reggio. The
French advanced pipits arc at Palm', and the head quarters of
Regnier at Monte Leone."

Letters from Meffina of the ad of Jantrary, and
frcm Palermo of the 18th, which reached town on
Saturday, Rate our troops in Sicily to be in excellent
health. General Fox had been indifpnfed, but was
then recovering. Sir J. Mooßs was at Palertho. The
Guards were thus Rationed:—to companies at Cata-
nia, 4at Auguaa, and the 6 flank companiei at Sy-
:acute. The I3ritith and Neapolitan forces were nearly
equal to the whole of the enemy's army in Naples
and Calabria; and it was fuppofed that a powerful
diverfion at lean might be made in that qusrter.
In a letter from Gibraltar, dated Feb. 21 1807, it
