LONDON, Oct. 4.
Government have received dispatches
from Dir I. Cotton, under date 24th Aug.
on oulon, which state that the Honorable
william Hill, his Majesty's minister at Gag
liari, had acquainted him that Lucien 20
naparte had escaped with his family to
that place in an American vessel, and that
Mr.. Hill, in concert with Mr.. Adair, had
deemed 1T best to send him to Malta till the
determination of his Majesty's government
should be signified, and that accordingly lie
had been conducted thither in the Pomoue.
Sir Charles Cotton has had no commun;
cation with Vice Admiral Martin, at Sicily
since the 18th July but Mr.. Adair reports
a favorable state of affairs in that quarter
down to the 28th July. which augurs the
probability of Murat's declining the attack
Fifty seven gun boats appear to have been
destroyed at one period and the enemy be.
ing so much annoyed otherwise by our force
in the Faro di Messina. as to obliee him to
abandon one Of his positions on the coast of
Calabria.
We mentioned some days ago report tina
Lucien Bonaparte was about to emigrate TO
America, and yesterday letter was post
ed up at Lloyd's, stating, that in attemntiDg
to carry that design into execution. he had
been taken by British cruizer. The lat
ter report appears however, not to have
been correct. for when Lucien left Italy, he
went directly to Sardinia, and placed him
self Under the protection Of the British Mi
mister. Mr.. Hill. 1t was stated that he had
been forwarded by that Gentleman to Gi
braltar, bnt we believe the fact is. that he |
has been sent to Malta, until the determi
nation of Government shall be known upon
the subject. Il is generally supposed that
LuCien has been induced TO take this st,n !
for the purpose of nsuring his own personal
safety, and that of his wife. it is perfectly
well Known that Lucien has uniformly and
steadily rejected all RoDaDarte's cHere e.,
