An article from Marseilles, In the French Papers
which arrived yesterday, stated that a report was
prevalent there, but that it wanted confirmation, of
the city of Messina, in Sicily, having been totally
destroyed by an earthquake, together with 40 ves-
sels which were at the time hi the harbour. From the
seasoner in which this report was mentioned, we were
induced to hope that it might prove to be ussfoeuded.
It is, however, with the deepest regret we !eerie that
private accounts base born received from Barcelona,
by the way of France, to the same effect, and thus
a most 'wistful epprehension is tidied that the state-
ment is well founded. _

It is reported in an 'flick from Hanover, that the
States of that kingdom hare esprensed a wish for the

Sta,—There is • w►rl easy mentor of seroenting
for the anomaly between the recent speech of Sir
Csoacs Cocs•eax and the former declarations of
Ministers, relative to geantity or besiness done at
the Admiralty. which I am serprlsed has not been
noticed, and which I was willing to leas► to some
person bett►r informed as to the fact than I am. As
no ezplanasinn of this has been offered, permit me to
blow the following one.

Report says, that when Sir C tonne COo[llllll7ll
leek his station Its the line of the Admiralty, sail.
ing, as •11 such people do, by the log of their
own consequence, and not by that of public
utility, he immediately began to direct, not
only the movements of his own ship, but also the
ships of ell his brother Commanders. Without a me.

every affair it, which it was possible for him to in.
trade, and took on his non shoulders the work of
two or three Lords sod half a dozen Clerks. By each
means, a mail may give himself endless toil ; end the
wonder is, not that Sir Gaostot is occupied, but that

Lievienant and two or three Midshipmen, resembling i
Aid.de.Camps, li. disciplining into one regular form,
cot, and panther, the rocked bats, swords. coats, and'
tortoni of all the Oni..ers of the Fleet. The VIM of
Sir (cootie do not extend to such important matters

late a tiosittily of business that was formerly equally
as well regulated by the topper Clerks of the dilier.

Man himself. It is not only • bad thing having so
many tetetalll, because we are °Wilted to pay them ;
I but because they interfere with things that eight to
be left to their 011111 course; and, changiog their chi.
i racier, they become troublesome wows, riding and
sporting the poor nation to debility and death.
'There was another point in the speech of Sir
GEnsee that deserves notice—the number of Ad-
mirttls who formerly lightened the labours of the Ad-
mirals. Now, it is a fact, that there is no station or
pule, silk the reception of Deptford end the Downs,
whereas Admiral commended during the war, where
there's not at present, even to Leith, either an Admiral,
or a senior OtScer„ who performs all the duties of an
Admiral, so far as they bear on the Admiralty. Where
there are not Admirals, there •re neither ships nor
fleets. And the assertion of the Noble Admiral,
that the labours of the Admiralty were much increased
by twelve Admirals pot being employed, was merely .
t tub for the young whales which Coat about the ship i
of State. In no other society of the kitigilons, but in'
that in which Sir Gamma made this lion, could
it have been made without bringing out the assertur
something like shame—in fact, it was nothing more
nor ir..s town a auln, for oo unworthy purpose
of bamboo:lire the cation out of its money !! ! We
