BAZA, JUNE SO.

Qn the 26th instant, General Laval assumed the
command in the room of Sebastiani, who has since
set out on his return to France ; and, on the 28th,
abandoned the points of Guadix and Cuesta Duzma,
falling hack, through Darro, towards Grenada. On
the same day our cavalry entered Guadix, and our
light parties the said Cuesta. On the 29th our Ge-
neral marched to Guadix, where he is at present.—
We are surprised at that precipitate retreat. Do they
perchance intend uniting their forces for the purpose
of attacking Count Montejo, who is in the Suspin)
del Moro, three leagues from Grenada:

The Count has been reinforced by the battalions
of Guadix and la Carona. M. Quadro, who is at
Cabra del Santo Custo, has been joined by the bat.
talions of Badajoz acid Guadalaxara.

An Auholt Mail arrived this morning—from the
rapers brought by it we extract the following;

" STOCKHOLM, JULY U.

" Information having been received from the Putt
Office at Gresleham, of the 20th inst. that an Englith
cruizer had taken the packet-boat with the Mails from
Finland and Russia going to Sweden, orders have
been given not to send any mail from the Swedish
side over to Finland, until it is fully ascertained that
there are no English cruizer: in those seas, or that
they are driven away."

From Sicilian Papers received by the Malta Mail :

MESSINA, JUNE is.

The French on the opposite shore Laving lately
begun to fire on the merchant vessels whish pass the
Faro, we have it in charge to make known to the
public, that if unarmed vesse:s shall suffer the let
damage from the fire of the enemy, the C:)mman,ler-
in-Chiet has given peremptory orders that a number
of gun-boats shall make reprisals on the French in
Calabria by cannonadiflg the shore.
It is hoped that without having recourse to this
measure of retaliation, an end will be put to a pro•
ceeding which can produce no advantage either w
one side or the other.

The brig named the Pilot, which some days sines
returned to this port, has brought with it sever4l
prizes made in the neighbourhood of Cutrona, where
it has destroyed several other vessels.

The following articles, from the Continental J:aur•

FRANKFORT, JULY s.

The intelligence from Italy announce, that the
English fleet, stationed in the Mediterranean, remains
united near the island of Minorca. The Admiral,
from time to time, detaches small squadrons of ob-
servation towards Toulon and other ports of the Me-
diterranean. These squadrons, however, keep at a
great distance from the coast, which are every where
lined with formidable batteries.

11 In the port of Messina, fur these two last months,
there have been only two English ships—the others
have sailed for other destinations, because they do
not appear to expect :In attack sthis summer .Ipoa

The English squadron stationed in the Adriatic

Culph, is not tinnierettsi ihe 'troops for the Pnrposel
of disembarkation have joined a pan of the English'
troops in Sicily, which are gene to Spain. This want
of disposable troops has hitherto prevented the Eng.
fish from making an attempt against the Island of
Corfu, which is occupied by numerous troops, which
are in a condition to defend it against all attempts
whatever.

BY the Nimrod, which has arrived at Bristol from
Malta, letters hae been received from that Island to
the 18th ult. The Rainbow frigate had sailed the
day before the Nimrod, but has not reached England.
The news by this oppoitunity is extremely important.
A vessel had entered the port of Malta, on the 11th,
which had made a very short voyage from Patras,
and by this conveyance intelligence was broughi, that
Preliminaries of Peace had been signed by the Rus.
sian and Turkish Plenipotentiaries, who had sent off
Couriers to their respective Courts, for the ratifica-
tion of the arrangements. A series of posts is estab-
lished between Constantinople and this port of the,
Mo7ea, by which dispatches are transmitted from the
capital in the short interval of tour days. A dread-
ful conflagration had occurred at Smyrna, where, it
is said, 4000 houses, with an immense property, had
been destroyed by the flames.
