The MieusA sailed on the 25th, one day

without the British Commander hearing of it

possible ; for we have no belief whatever
intelligence,

currently reported yesterday afternoon, that
BrnisUßT had arrived at Lord LIVERPOOL'S
from the Army in Sicily, with accounts that.
4 the enemy on the sh • ,res of Calabria, for
invasion of Sicily, had been frustrated ; that seven
R4et of transports, with 3000 troops on board,
captured, and others driven on shore. We
tp state that this report rests on n• with°.

It is, VW, however, that tbesowe from

that quarter is favourable.—Dispatches have teen re;
ceived from Admiral Sir CHARLES Corrox, in the
Mediterranean, dated the 21st of June, which con-
t un the particulars of several gallant exploits of our
cruizers against the enemy's flotillas and batteries on
the Neapolitan coast, which will officially appear in
a day or two. A letter from Cagliari, of the 23d of
June, but not official, states the loss of the enemy, in
a recent affair, at eight ships, and between two and
three thousand men.

- By the mails of yesterday we received letters from
Athens of the 10th March. From such a quarter
but little intelligence of a political nature can be ex-
pected. Some of our countrymen, having obtained
permission from the Turkish Governor, have been
occupied in digging among the antient sepulchres,
but with no very great success. A few vases and
coins have been found :—one of the vases, the finest
that has been found for some years, is considered as a
chef d'ccuvre. Our letters speak with regret of the
havoc committed on the ancient temples by dilapida-
tions made by a former traveller. If we mistake not
the one alluded to is Lord ELGIN ; and, what must
add considerably to the regret, this plunder from the
antients has been stopped, and will probably find its
way to Paris.—Among the British who visited Athens
in the course of last winter and spring, were, Lord
BYRON and Mr. HOBROUSE ; Drs. DARWIN and Mr.
GATTON ; Mr. BAILLIE and Mr. NUSTON ; Sir WIL-
LIAM BALL and Mr. VAILTIC ; Colonel MOORE, Captain
TIIACKERTY, &C.

The latest accounts from Gibraltar are of the 15th
ult. Besides the fact which we mentioned generally
yesterday of the failure of General LACY'S expedi-
tion, they also mention that the troops which landed
at Algesiras to reinforce General Lacy, had been in
imminent danger. By a rapid movement, a strong
body of the enemy cut off their retreat towards Gib-
raltar ; but hopes were entertained that they might
be taken off some part of the coast between Malaga
and that port, transports having been sent thither for
the purpose.

Dispatches were received yesterday by Government
from Sir C. COTTON, in the Mediterranean, dated the
21st of June, containing accounts of several naval
conflicts, which will appear in the Gazette to-
morrow. The victory boasted to have been gain-
ed by the Neapolitan Flotilla turns out to have been
a defeat. A private letter from Cagliari, dated June
23. states, that on the 10th Mt: RAT made an attempt
to land troops on the coast of Sicily, but was repulsed
with the loss of between t./. and 3000 men. Ni' men-
tion ...of this attempt is, however, made in the: dis-
patches.
Two couriers to the Spanish Legation came over
in the Spanish 74, the arrival of which at Plymouth
from Cadiz was announced yesterday. 'We under-
stand that they have brought no intelligence of a pub-
lic interest. It is asserted, but we doubt incorrectly,
that by this opportunity most satisfactory accounts
have been received from South America. The in-
surrection, we arc told, was in a coniracted portion
of the territory, on the shores of the Caribbean Sea,
and was not supported by persons of weight and opu-
lence in the Colony.
By the arrival of his Majesty's ship PRESIDENT at
Plymouth on Tuesday, in seven weeks from Rio de
Janeiro, we are informed (says a correspondent at
that place) of another instance of the liberality and
munificence of the PRINCE RECENT to the gallant Of-
ficers of that squadron which has so long been his
Royal Highness's protection in the ne Ar world. Pre-
vious to the PRESIDENT'S sailing, presenting
each of the Officers with a consi ' track of land,
abounding in horned cattle, timber, and fruit, as a
further mark of his Royal Highness's esteem for the
individual officers, he presented each with a ring, on
which was his miniature, richly set in diamonds, with
this motto, " 'dor e Lealdade" (Valour and Fidelity.)
We likewise are informed that the PRESIDENT has
brought home about nine pounds weight of diamonds,
consigned to his Excellency the Chevalier de SOUZA
COUTINIIO. Some of them are of an extraordinary
size and water, :snd valued in the Brazils at £15,000
each. She has also brought home a great quantity
of gold, besides topazes, amethysts, ikc. from our
merchants.—Captain MACKENZIE, of the PRESIDENT,
was invested with the order of the Tower and Sword,
on Sunday, the 10th June, the day previous to his
sailing.
Extract of a letter from Hamburgh.—" The archi-
tect who erected •the building of the Austrian Am-
bassador at Paris, in which the late fire occurred,
been put under arrust, until the result of the misfor-
tune shall be fully ascertained. The preservation (4.
his Majesty the Emperor, on that occasion, Was rno.:t
miraculous. llc most have perished, had it not. been
that he sat near the door. We hear, by letters just
received, that several persons who Were scorched have
died, and few of those have recovered that were
bruised and trampled upon, in consequence of the fall
of the beam at the door."

The romantic and picturesque appearance of Vaux-
hall Gardens, intermingled with the beautitu!, sub-
lime, and majestic variegated imagery of so many
thousand lights, at once strike the eye of the observer
with admiration and deliAlit. The water fronsWest-
minster to Vauxhall resembles an evening Regatta,
from the number of elegant and genteel company on
their way to that faNhionable promenade.

HOUNSLOW WOOL Fata.-,--Wednesday morning, a
large quantity of Wool was brought in by the Farmers
of Middlesex, Storey, and parts of Bucks and Berk-
shire, and dicp,sed in the Market-house at Houn-
%low, fur the inspection of the Wool-buyers ; the at-
tendance of the London Wool Staplers was rather
slack, dud those present seemed little inclined to pur-
chasei so that no business was done until after the
dinner at the inn. Towards evening, however, a good
deal of wool was sold at from 60s. to 6.55. per tod.
Mr Butler refused 72E. f T his wool, and bad it
leaded and taken home again in the evening.
