SICILIAN GAZETTES TO THE 23d OF AUGUST.

MESSINA, AUGUST I6.—We have ha 4 exhibited
here a most gratefid spectacle to all the inhabitants
of this city, and to every good patriNt of the country.
It is the review of 30 pieces of flying artillery with
cavalry and equipages complete, the property of in 7
dividuals who have made this contribution for the
defence of the country. They were mans uvred in
the presence of the Commander of the British forces,'
with that precision, and at the same tithe with that
rapidity, for which the British artillery iisdistinguish-.
ed. It is not possible to express the proud satistac-.
tion with which the generous contributors ob'serveil
the applause and gratitude with which their assist-
ance was received.
Monday the 15th of this month, being the Birth-
day of her M ijesty the Queen of the Two Sic;lies, the
public joy was signified with all appropriate demon-
sti..tions and in..g.iiticence on the happy occasion.—

The loss of the enemy in the battle. of . BUMe is
estimated at about 10,000 men in killed, wounded,
and prisoners. Some people doubt whether the loss
of the French could possibly be so great, but certainly
it could. not be less, taking the usual proportion of the
wounded to the killed. The usual estimate of wounded
is seven for every two killed : this would girt 9do
besides the prisoners taken. And in fact the has ac—
tually sustained by the British and Portuguese in that:
action was nearly in the proportion of 2000 to 10,000;
being in one case 107 to 524, and in the other 90 to
532 ; or, upon the whole, 197 to 1056 ; which, sup-
p4ing the FrenCh to have suffered in the same pro-
portion (even without mentioning the prisoners),
would make their loss amount to more than 10,000.
Betides, if we consider the peculiar nature of the place
of attack, and the description of the repulse, and
we may credit the report of the French themselves,
the number of their wounded amounted to at least
8000 ; for flags of truce had passed subsequently to
the battle, and deserters, not less than 100, had corns
in on the night of the 27th, all of whom concurred
in estimating the number of their wounded at full
8000.—We cannot doubt then that the late battle L
proved a most. disasterous one to the enemy.

The accounts received of the late glorious rencoun-
ters with the French in Portugal, hasuccasioned the
delay-of the sailing of the DOLPHIN,'44 guns, a con-
voy
.with troops and officers, to join corps under Lord
WJILLINGTON, and various stores for the idyll. -The
DOLPHIN will not
,again sail before the *Ofx
Officert go out jo, the transports under her conyo',
to join thfir regiments in Portugal, and many medi-
cal officers go out to assist in attending the wounded,
as another engagement will have taken place before
they can have got to Lisbon. The new Medical
Board derive the highest credit for their refoims-and
exertions to give the proper attention to sick and
wounded officers and soldiers.

It is thought that marks of the Royal favour will
immediately be conferred on -Generals HILL, PICTON,
jaLITH, and PACK, and Marshal pERESFORD ; and that
Lord WELLINGTON will be promoted in the Peerage.
We heard some time ago, that the Prince Regent
of PORTUGAL was to insert Marshal BERSFORD among
the Nobles of that country. The Marshal is a native
of the county of Waterford, in Irelanti, and has often
distinguished-himself Wore the present occasion.
Generil haw is one of the most actiVe and. able
Officers in our service ; he has been •known-"rw-the
public by his contest with General FULLERTON regiid-
sing Trinidad : be distinguished himself at Walcherea
and at various other places.
• General Ltarri is a native of Aberdeen, and a most
accomplished Officer—the brother-in-law, if we are
not misinformed, of the Doke of LEINSTER.
General HILL is a native of Shropshire, and nephew
of Sir RICHARD HILL. The General is considered as
one of our alert Officers.
General PACK is a native of Ireland ; his high cha-
racter as an Officer is well known in the Army.

Last night we received German papers to the 6th,
and Paris journals to the 9th instant, from which we
have given extracts of every thing deserving of notice.
We also last night received Dutch papers and
letters to the 13th.

Pottenburgh Mail arrived this morning. The-1
intelligence from Sweden is uninteresting ; but a letter
from Amstsrdam, brought by this conveyance, ins

At:the present time the most rigorous searches are
inside after colonial merchandize. A great quantity*
of it has already been cciafiscated. Informels are no
longer wanted, to whom a filth part of the value of
the goods discovered is given. Many people having
assembled when the conveyance of these goods took
place, some seditious Personi assailed the'clouaniers
with stones. One of them, who :Came merely out of
curiosity, was killed by a;blow of a.citizen's musket.
