threw •at the enemy's boats that were approaching,
*they succeeded in keeping them off, after having
broken several of the assailants legs and arms. Dur-
ing this time, the vessel was still driving, sometimes
in a contrary course, when the weather became more
calm ; but the sails which had been skilfullyprepared
with hammocks and_ blankets, enabled her to stem
the current, and she at last ran aground.
When the hulk was descried to be aground by the
troops at the Trocadero, they immediately prepared
to give them assistance. The Marshal got notice of
this event at four o'clock in the morning. His Ex-
cellency took the necessary Measures for sending speedy
succours to these unfortunate prisoners. Their situ-
ation was critical; they were receiving, within a
quarter of a reach of cannon shot, the fire from Poft-
tales, that of all the batteries on the coast between
that fort and Cadiz, and also that of about twenty
gun-boats, and as many bomb•ketches. On account
of the high sea, no boat could sail from the Rio-
Guadalete or San-Pedro ; but by the attention of the
chief of the general staff, and of Admiral Salcedo,
several were brolght on carts at full gallop, to the
Trocadero, and sent off. The landing had already
begun under the direction of Generals Laval, Rulsen,
and d'Aboville. At eight o'clock. in the morning,
400 men from the hulk were already landed, and at
noon, the vessel was cleared.
The operation lasted seven hours ; it was carried on
under a very heavy fire of artillery. It was a very
affecting sight, and it is difficult to describe the ardour
shown by all the general officers, subaltern officers,
lightermen, sailors, cannoniers, and infantry, in saving
these prisoners; some swimming, others up to the
shoulders in water and mud, and some in boats; in
short, every one was eager to be of some asssistance.
During eight hours two thousand individuals, both
officers and privates, belonging to the first corps, kept
in the water, and were exposed to the fire of a hun-
dred and fifty pieces of cannon, to save their country-
men.

The batteries of Point St. Louis, those of the
rangers and of the road, were fired with their usual
skill ; they succeeded in several times silencing the
fire of Puntales. Three shells fell in the middle of
that fort.

General Aboville, of the artillery, having re-
marked that the enemy's gun-boats and bomb-ketches
avoided the fire of the batteries, by taking a station,
behind the hulk which was aground, ordered several
pieces of cannon to be placed on the strand, which
were served by the flying artillery-men, and soon
caused the enemy to stand out t sea.
M. Marmont, chief of battalion, belonging to the
staff, and Captain Harion, were killed on board the
hulk. Messrs. Lerisson, Captain in the 6th, and
Barthez, Liectenant in the 4th, were drowned. Four
or five others, whose names have not yet reached us,
were also drowned.
The enemy had succeeded with bombs and howitzer
shells to set fire to the hulk, and it was three times
extinguished by those who remained on board. After
it was completely cleared, a bomb-shell fell on the
deck, and it was soon consumed.
By the arrival of the Castile hulk, 600 officers and
900 privates have recovered their liberty.

TRIESTE, JUNE 9.

The 16 gunboats which are at Porte-Re, and which
were ceded in the late Treaty of Vienna to France
by Austria, are completely fitted-out. France will
therefore soon have in the Adriatic Sea a respectable
navy, capable of protecting our commerce.
The Turkish vessel Sanspiridione, Captain Mastro-
ganopolo, has been declared a legal prize at Fiume,
because the Enzlish had on the 9th visited it in sight
of the port. is cargo consists of raisins, tobacco,
and cotton. The Enterprize galley, of 20 guns and
120 men, has received orders to put to sea.
TRENT, JUNE 11.

Yesterday, Mr. Sinancini, Counsellor of State, of
the Kingdom of Italy, took, with the greatest solem-
nity, possession, in the name of his Majesty the King
of Italy, of the Italian Tyrol, which was ceded by
the King of Bavaria, and which, by virtue of the
decree of the 28th of May, takes the name of the de-
partment of the Upper Adige.
The arms of the Kingdom of Italy were immediately
affixed to all the public buildings, in the midst of the
ringing of bells and the noise of artillery. A general
illumination, and acclamations on all sides shewed,
how much the inhabitants of the Tyrol appreciate
their happiness in belonging to a government whose
wisdom secures their internal prosperity, and whose
force secures them from any external attack.
