The Gazette Of Snesday contains the Off
clsl details respecting the loss of the forts of
Reggg}o and scyla, on the coast OF Calabria.
Tac eyaenation Of the latter was effected in
the. lace ii tie enemy's line, which was drawn
up Immediately below the castle, with the loss
OF very few men, Our gun boats did consi.

lost on this aecssioa several hundred men.
We are happy to state that intelligence
has been received from Heligoland that the
Danish line Of battle ship which, according
to tie late accounts had yenturcd out to cruize
under he suppostion that nr vessels were
blocked up By the ice, has been taken off the
island of Severe, on the Esd of last month by
some OF oIr Slips of war. The particulars
have not yet reached us.
The last accounts from India mention that
an insurreeuon had taken place amongs: the
Caders at tie Military College at Bonesset
and although from its nature, the consequent

were about to chaage them with the bayonst.
A formidable resurrection lately broke out
at Madrid, III which theprince Of Peace has
at length fallen a sac.ihce to the crooked 20.
Icy he hadior sorae time pursued. This it
was that led to the connection with France, to
the rainous consequences of which this mis-
guided politician seems, too late. to have O.
pened his. eyes, and to have proposed the emil
grafton Of Tie royal family to Mexico Tor
this he was Denounced by the mobiles and his
dissrSce demanded by tie people, whose in-
surrecuon was iayoured by the military and
in the confusion that resulted, the brother Of
the Prince was Killed. Spain, however, has
gained nothing by the event the French

Whether the prince was sincere Or not IN
the last advice lie gave the king, will perhaps
never be known. His former attachment,
however to French politics, will meet with no
grateful return from Bonaparte for however
he may hug the treason TO his bosom, he will
discard the traitor now that he has no longer
occasion for his services.
