over them with infinite skill Our flotillas
passed through on the Goth, the whole of tina
ret the enemy, and arrived Sats.the place oil
rendezvous at the break of day. The dan
gers commenced at this moment.-The
Island of Proceda was already in the bands
OF the enemy; which was seized By hiu,
without striking blow. This accident de
prived our hotilla of the protection of the
land batteries OF Proceda, the fire of which
Crosses thas.of the batteries of Meliscols. at
Cape MsSsih9, when the enemy's forces,
sure of .6of being attacked by land, all uni
ted agaihst OR fleet, which was no longer
protected, except by the small battery of
Meliscola
The action commenced at day b, eak, *
continued till nine. Under al cirCumstan-
ces has the Neapolitan Marine so fully Jus
tined the reputation which it has ever held
In the estimation of naval men. According
TO this report our glory could not be greater.
" An English brig was burnt by the bate
ry OF MelisCola one Of their gun boats vas
sunk; we have had only one man killed anu
few wounded; but among our gun boats
some have been sunk along side the enemy's
ships; others have been driven ON shore, but
we hope to be able to get them off; several
have returned to port.
SIN spite of this imposing spectacle of
war, OF which all the town was witness,
in spite of the fright of some timid people.
and in spite of the secret hopes Of some gull
ty men, who are well known, the capital
was never SO tranquil as at this moment, in
which the enen, display to our view his me
nacing forces, in order to disturb the peace
which now reigns among us. This internal
peace, which we enjoy, is principally owing
to the confidence which the people have in
the person of the King. The corps OF volun-
teers, which augmented but slowly when the
enemy was distant from us, incre ased beyond
measure upon his approach. Intelligence
from the provinces is equally pleasant; e
very where tranquility reigns, and the in
cendiary Proclamations, which the English
and Sicilian army have thrown almost every
where on our coast. seems for the present to-
have had no other effect than that of rally
ing round the throne all the people of the
Kingdom"
