destined for the Isle of Elba, entered Porto Langone
safe on the 3011 i ult. and it is reported they are mas-

Commander trill not yet surretidor. Ott the 3d in-

here yesterday from ~tr Gaeta and Vecchia, with a
ditision of light Nettooli:an gun-boats, under Eng-
lish colours,' and a cutter that belonged to Gaeta,
which WAS captored without any crew. It seems
that place continues to make an obstinate and useless
resistance. We are sorry to say, that we just learn
that the master of a vessel, who arrived this morning
ft-tr Naples, has deposed at the Health Office of
this tau, e, that he had spoken off Leghorn with a
Sict;ipo htig of war, which informed him, that she

hid the plague on board, and was bound to Leghorn.
I' seems site had touched at Messina, but her name

known. The above master says he saw she had some
bales of cotton on deck."

My last transmission of dispatches from the Offi-
cer commanding the troops in the lhoon, an-
nounced the evacuation of the fort of Kalunga on
the morning of the 30th ult. The ganison is now
known to have suffered most severely (tom the fire
of the' British artillery, ai,rl particularly from ale
shells thrown from the mortars. 'file place was
found crowded with dead and wounded, the enemy
was unable to carry off In his precipitate flight, Our-
ing the course of which his whole numbers were, with
a very limited exception, either 1(.10.A, wounded, or
taken prisoners, by the activity and gallantry of the
different detachmelits, which had been very judiciously
t placed by Col. NI I why to iiitercedt his retreat.
Bulhudder Sing, .the Killedar, effected his escape
with about 70 followers, with whom he took post on
a bill, as some distance from the British camp, where
he was joined by 300 Goo( kalts, intended as a rein-
forcement for the garrison of Kalunga; and who had
been several (lays seen hovering in the mountains.
Col. Mawby determined to dislodge them from this
position, and teletted Major Ludlow fiir the conduct
of this service, which was most ably and successfully
accomplished by that Officer.
. [llere follows the warmest encomiums on Major
Ludlow, for the eminent courage, judgment, and
zeal, which he had displayed throughout the whole
of the service in the Dhow' ; also on Capt. Burke,
