NAPLES.

Royal Camp, Piale, August
ort the 16th instant, a strong wind from• the S. E.
caused the enemy a loss of four gun-boats, obliged
the other gun-boats of his line of anchorage to return
to Messina and the north of Pharo, as well as a cor-
vette and brig.

We were fully persuaded that it would he impossi-
blefor him to remain in the canal during the first equi-
noxial gale, but the English did not wait for that
epoch before they endeavoured to place themselves
in safety, and to-day the Admiral's ship, a frigate,
and a corvette, who have remained at anchor about
two months, to the north-west of Pharo, set sail,
taking advantage of the wind and current to enter
the canal and proceed towards Messina.
As soon as the ship was within range of our bat-
teries, they opened their fire upon her ; the two first
shots struck her towards the stern, by the water
mark, and the fifth carried away the flag.—
Then the Admiral keeping as close as possble to the
Sicilian side, in order to get as distant as possible
from our batteries, fired a broadside from her lower
guns, which answered no other purpose than that of
covering the entrance of Messina, where he cast an-
chor, with smoke.

The frigate and corvette kept up a continual fire
an along the canal. We-reckon that these three ves-
sels received at least 25 balls, whilst the 1000 whit%
they fired against our line of anchorage, did not touch
a boat, nor wound a single man.

It is stated in the German Papers, under the head
Austria, that a Treaty had been concluded between
the Courts of Vienna and France, in which it is sti-
pulated that Austria shall be indemnified on another
side for all that she has lost. We shall not be sur-
prised if this indetnnification were, in the course of a
short time, to be carried out of the Russian territories.
The late King of SWEDEN, after having travelled
over Saxony, suddenly directed his route to Herren-
hut, where he resided at the latter end of last month.
This place is celebrated by the religious sect which
inhabit it. He visited the house in which LUTHER
dwelt at Wittenberg, and wrote his name near to that
Of PETEH the GREAT.

Vicrott HUGHES was lately' tried at Paris for the
surrender of Cayenne to the Anglo-Portugnese forces ;
it was alledged that he had capitulated in order to
save his own plantations and property. He was de-
clared to be Not Guilty, and was forthwith set at
liberty, and restored to his functions.
By the latest accounts from India we learn, that
the Javanese are threatening a general insurrection
:apinst their Dutch masters. An attempt has several
ores been made to assassinate General DAENDELS,

who is very desirous nf resigning his situation.
Friday next, being St. Matthew's day, according

COVINT GARD= THZATIM—We rejoice to find
that this Theatre is no longer likely to continue the
scene of discord and tumult, the proprietors having
' conceded the point in dispute. They have determined
to comply with the demands of the public, and to
fulfil the 0. P. contract immediately, by opening four
private boxes on each side. For the purpose of
making the necessary preparations to complete this
arrangement, the, Theatre is to continue closed till
Monday, when the public are promised to be admit-
, ted to the private boxes abovementioned in the same
manner as to the other boxes. It was abundantly
evident that the town would not be satisfied unless
the contract was literally fulfilled ; and the proprietors
have acted wisely in not attempting to prolong a con-
test which, on their part, was hopeless. The interval
till Monday, is, we are informed, to be employed in
throwing open the eight boxes, in a complete man-
ner, so that there may be no ground for further ob-
jection. We trust, therefore, that this being done, we
shall have the pleasing task of recording the restora•
tioa of peace and harmony to this Theatre on Monday.
