which forms part of Lord WIILLINGTON's Array,
dated June 9, to his Brother lu Loudon. The I
letter is written without any other motive thin to

the coast of Calabria, our force consisted only of
the Spartan, of 36 guus, and '268 men ; that of
the enemy was 97 guns, atul 1138 men, viz. a
frigate of 42 gnus, a corvette of 28, two brigs of
Saud IS guns, and seven gun-boats, with seven
guns each. The frigate escaped dreadfully
