what perhaps may be conGdered az even of till

ExtraS eta dilpateb from Major-GeneraI Sir
John Stuart, to Hugh Elliott, Eff. dated Mec:
fra, sd AasuR, 1906.
Having location to fend an exprefs to my
aid-de-camp, Capt. Bulkely, at Palermo, a
vail myfefO Of the opportunity to acquaint you
with another fortunate refult of our aufpicious
day at MAZDA. Cotrone, with all its ftores,
magazines, &c. and 600 troops (now prifoners),
capitulated on Wednefd7y evening lat to the
land and naval forces of his Britannia Majeffy,
under lieut.. col. M'Leod, of the 7sth regi-
ment, and capt. Hofte, of his majelty's frigate
Amphion, who were aiiifed in their operations
againtt that place, and upon the adjacent coats,
by the sun-boats of his Sicilian majety.-Three
hundred prifoners, who prove to be furvivors
OF the wounded after the action of the 4th ult.
are already arrived in this port. General Reg
h'S'1 WIZ udu ehuCfFOurCu I'D uOlu MS DOutl-
on, under much embarraffinent for fome time
pat, between Cotrone and Cotanzora, has re-
treated precipitately towards Tarento; and it
was reported, WHEN the tranfport left Cotrone,
that he had been attacked by the mafIe, and
had loft or hundred of his flying people.
am now to congratulate you on the total eva
cnation of Calsbria Ultra, in which Jingle pro-
vince, previous to the action of the 4th, we
have every certainty that the enemy had diff.
tr'hnted force of at lean 5000 men of thefe,
when general Regnier quilted his petition near
Cotrone, certainly not 5000 remained. The
lones of the French in Upper Caabria have al
10 borne proportion. great deal of heavy
ordnance, lately transported by the French to
Cotrone, befides what was found mounted ON
the Cattle, amounting in the whole to about 40
pieces, have fallen into our hands.
September 8.
Supplement to the Gazette extraordinary
announcing the brilliant victory of our troops in
-Calabria. was yelerday pubifhed. In this we
have letter from Colonel Macleod. Eating the
capture OF Cotrone, and the total fight of the
French from the two Calabrias. This brings
the events in that part of Italy down to the end
OF July, and If is worthy of remark that though
we have the French accounts from Naples down
to the 18th of Auguft, there is not an infinuati-
on that they have prefumed to re enter the
itrong pot from which they were driven. Mo-
thing IN the military annals of the revolution is
tuperiour to the Hili, galIantry, and fuccefs
WIN which our brave army conducted itfelf in
this expedition.

The important consequences of the victory
gained OH the 4th of Jnly are ftated with ener
getic concifenefs by HUoH ELLIorr, Efa.
our late Envoy extraordinary at the court of his
SIcILIAN MAJESTY. "The battle of Mada,'
lays he, "will long he recorded in this part of
Europe As memorable proof of The fuperiority
OF Britih courage and difcpline. Of the 5000
men which General REcwIER has command
ed IN the province OF Calabria Ulterior, not
more than 5000 are left to attempt their retreat
towards Puglia; the remainder are all either
Killed, wounded, or made prifoners. Every
fort along the COATS all the depots of flores,
ammunition and artillery, prepared for the at
tack OF Sicily, are become the prey of the VIC
tors; and what perhaps may be conlidered as
even OF fill more confequence than thofe ad-
vantages, an indeliblc impre ffion is eftablilhed
OF the hyperion bravery and difcipline of the
Britifh troops"
The compliment paid by MIR. ELLIorr to
our gallant commander is equaIIy juf and beau
tifui. There is not perhaps to be found in
the Annals of Military. Tranfaetions, an enter
prize prepared with more deliberate reflection,
or executed with greater deciion, promptitude,
and tnecefs, than the late inyalion of CaIabria
by Sir JoHN STUART"
