CORFU, May 3. Yesterday the Combined Ruffian and Turkish fleet, confiding of 40 ships of war and 46 transports, with troops on board, fct fail for Italy. TALERMO, April 16. Two great armies are organized in this kingdom, which hold themselves in readi es to embark on an expedition to the nain land of Italy. All the (hips in the harbours of Sicily are ready to fail, and the English force by land and sea, which will support this expedition, is very great. In the revolutionized kingdom of naples, the difcorvtent of the people daily increases; and in Calabria and Abruzzo, all are un derarms who are capable of bearing them, with a firm resolution to defend the regal conflitution at the expence of their lives. TRENT, May 3. Colonel Stranch had advaned with his column by Tanale to Edolo, and forced the French to retreat into the Veltelin. He immediately took possession of thepafles of Aprica and Mortirolo, and took 60 pri soners. At the latter place the French at tacked hinx-wltb o.^riuforcem«r i t; bar the Austrians using only the bayonet, forced them to norwithftanding the deep ihoiv, with a lots of 700 killed and wound ed. The Austrians loft 200 men and 3 officers. The French in the Veltelin are 6000 strong. LUCERNE, May 4. The fire of the infurreCtion was no foon crfhfled in one point, than it broke out again in another. On the 28th, the pea fats of the environs of Schwtz, collected and penetrated arms in hand into that town. ~They seized the church, attacked the French who had aflembled in hade in the streets, killed 40 and made 200 of them prisoners. At the fame time the alarm bell uas ringing in the canton of Uri, and the peasants aflembled together to the number of several thousand men, rnoftly armed with carabines; a great number of the mi litary, who were scattered in different parts "’ere maflacred. The troops of the 76th half brigade being ordered against the in fargents, were however obliged to yield to superior numbers, and to retreat. On the 29th ult. the insurgents declared to the Helvet and Directory by letter, that they would fuffer no forts or garrisons; that they wanted to be free and independent; hut that if all the people of their cantons detained prisoners at Lucerne were releaf ch, they would offer their friendfhip to the government. General Maflena, informed of this in- immediately ordered troops to s( lvance from the fide of Zug. The Zuri diers have taken up arms and occupied jhe:r cannon. Troops have also been sent horn hence against the cantons in infur taftion. LINDAU, May 7. The French troops at St. Gall have been Kinforced with 26 battalions. The army General Hotze, which extends from fatgentz to Feldkirch, amounts now to 100,000 men. BREGENTZ, May 9. .. TH e fi r ft attack of General Hotze upon J-ucienfteig has miscarried. Nine com- I femes of infantry were cut off by the re nch and taken prisoners. In the Gri n country the infurreCtion isalmoft gen- ! r * ar *d rosy force the French to rufli out «om Switzerland, or to retire farther. , *‘ lc Imperial army in Italy will en avor to establish a communication with °* the Archduke Charles. On the sth, in the morning, the whole Imperial army was under arms along the Swiss frontiers. The French intended, they fay, to make attacks at Lorrach, and other places,and to cross the Rhine. Near Zurich they had eftabliftied many intrench rnents. Many Swiss desert to the Aus trians. All the women had received or ders to quit the French army. The seven companies, which, on the miscarriage storm on St. Lucienfteig, on the ift of May had been cut off, are not taken prisoners, but fafely ported on the mountains, whence they have sent are port to gen. Hotze, and demanded a sup ply of provisions. VIENNA, May 8. When our troops entered Milan, on the 28th ult. a numberless crowd of people came to meet them, and received them with such loud demonstrations of joy, as could be heard at a great distance. A great number of the nobility of both sexes, and the members of the ci-devant magiftraqy, came on the road which our troops toik to enter the city, and teftified tfteir joy Most of the members of the municipality had fled, three Directors had gone to Tu rin, and the two remaining ones fought refuge in the citadel. As soon as the gen eral of cavalry, Melas, reached Milan, he sent word to the officer commanding the garrison in the citadel, who wanted to fire on the city, that, if they fired but a single shot, he would give orders not to cut in pieces the garrison in the citadel, but to hang them, because they would have at tempted to exercifea barbarous and useless vengeance. The French commandant only wanted to fire upon the city to re venge himfelf of the inhabitants, who ex prefled their joy at the entrance of the Austrians. In other refpeCts, the battle of the 27th of April will be forever memo rable in the hi (lory of the present war, the French having rendered their positions al most impregnable, by the strong batteries and redoubts which they had raised. The quantity of ammunition and military {lores of every description, which the French left behind, in their camp at Mi lan, is immense, and the courier who ar rived here, declares, that it would require weeks to take an inventory of them. When the courier left Milan,on the ift of May, they aflured him- that Moreau’s defeated army had taken different roads on its re treat. The inhabitants of the open coun try had seen those troops on the roads of Piaccuza, Arena, and Pavia, and even on those of Vigevano, and Novara. After taking Milan, Field Marshal Su warrow is said to have ordered another corps upon afecret expedition. According to letters from Lemberg the corps of the Prince of Conde entered Gal licia by forced marches on the 19th of April, and the Prince will lead it himfeil to Italy.

(Signed) SERRURIER. DUBLIN, May 8. In the course of Sunday, exprefles arriv ed at the Castle from Cork, dating that on Thursday last, the fleet under Lord Brid port’s directions, the Polyphemus of 64 guns, had let Cove in order to reinforce him. By Plymouth letters of the 30th, receiv ed in town yefterday* we have received a rumour that the Cesar of 80 guns, having fallen among the French fleet singly, had been taken ; but for tnis we have reason.,. to think there can be no foundation in truth. Mat 29. By the fuccefsful direction of the Aus trian and Ruffian armies under Field Mar ilial Suwarrow, we find the deliverance of lulcany is an eventual objeift, the imme diate one being the cutting off all com munication between the republican armies in Suabia and the Alps with that in Italy, iouth of the Po ; which latter thus infla ted as every relief by land and sea is pre cluded, muff dwindle into infignificance and its remnant submit on the best terms that may be granted. The late mails from England tell us that the absence of the British channel fleet, has been taken advantage of by a swarm of French privateers to commit depreda tions on our trade with impunity 5 we are sorry to add, with uncommon success, as the two last Lloyd’s lift, offer us a cata more than thirty merchant vef (els, having last week fallen into their hands; and we fee with concern among them, the names of three vefiels bound to Dublin, namely, the. Peggy, Andrews, from Lisbon, brought into Camarines; the Jone of Dundee, from Aberdeen to ditto, laden 'with barely, captured by La Belle privateer of Dunkirk, carried into Bergen in Norway ; the Fingal, M‘Vicar, from Lilbon to ditto :—we are happy to fay, that this last veflel has been recaprur ed by the Eagle privateer of Jersey, and carried into St. Hilliers. The owners of the cargo fettled the salvage to be paid to the privateer at Mr. Bruce’s office. The following is a copy of the London Gazette Extraordinary, which arrived yes terday, by express. “ Dcwning-freet, May 25.

Extra ft of a dispatch from Lieutenant-Colonel Crawford to Lord Grenville , datedLindau, the 1 oth instant. “ P art of General Bellegrade’s army had advanced from the Upper Engadine, in the direction towards Coire, and has pafled the Albula. The French who were in the Upper Engadine, have retired tow ards the Splugen. It is reported there has been a considerable infurre&ion of the in habitants of the Upper Valias and Uri; but the particulars are not known. The London Gazette of the 25th inst. which arrived yesterday, contains the fol lowing letter from R. W. Otway, trans mitted to the Admiralty by Sir H. Parker, Kt. commander in chief of his Majesty’s ships and vefiels at Jamaica, dated March 30, 1799. “ I have the honor to inform you, that having difeovered a Spanish fliip and three schooners in a fmail bay about seven leagues to the northward of Cape Roxo, I lent the boats under the command of Lieutenants Belchier and Balderfton, and covered them with the Sparrow cutter; the vefiels being in shoal water, close in shore, and under the protection of a five gun battery. “ Lieutenant M‘Gee with his party of marines were landed, and some seamen un der the orders of Lieutenant Belchier, who immediately stormed the battery, bay * A dispatch of 1 preceding date, supposed to con tain the details of tie taking of PeitLera, it not yet arrived. ] oncteu five, r.nJ wounded* effectually destroyed the guns, &c. “ The fh;p and fchoor.er were mean time boarded and brought out by fh<*ssS: boats; the other schooners were by the enemy. Great praifc is due Lieu tenant Wylie for his spirited conduCl in if the Sparrow, as likewise the officers and men of his Majesty’s (hips employed on this service. lam happy to add, only two feamenand one corporal were wound ed on the occasion.” The Gazette also contains a lift of ves sels captured and destroyed by Sir IT. Par ker, making in the whole 64 taken and three destroyed—an account of the cap ture of the Le Vengeur letter of marque, mounting fix 4 pounders, and two lug gers. A corps of 10,000 insurgents have form ed itfelf in the Grifon country. A few days ago they attacked the French; near Chur, but having no cannon, and 400 of them only being properly armed, they were repulsed with loss to Reichenau. No doubt but General Ho'tze will endeavor to fuccour them. Prom Ireland. Capt. Freeman, arrived at days from Belfalt, informs that it is yet from a state of tranquility in that country. Executions occur almost daily; and a new general infurreftion of United Irifhinea was expetfted take place in the course of the month of June. From the Salem Gazette of July 12. We are under obligations to Capt. Orne, of the Ulyftes, for the papers from which we have taken the India ai tides in thL day’s Gazette. On Tuefday last, the (hip Ulyftes, Capt. Josiah Orne, arrived here from Ben gal, whence he failed on the 14thof March. In India, the Englilh exhibit the fame proofs of naval superiority over the French, as in every other quarter of the globe. A few days beforfe the Ulyftes left Bengal, Capt. Orne informs us, the French 50 gun fliip La Forte, was towed into the ri ver, a mere hulk, withouta spar (landing; taken after an action of 75 minutes, by La Sybille, of 44 guns, capt. Cook, who came in at the fame time under full (ail. La Sybille had been to convoy the Go vernor General, Earl Mornington, with his suite, from Calcutta to Madras, hav ing at the fame time a large amount of fpe* cie on board, for the pay of the Briiiftl troops in the Carnatic. On her return, off the Sand-Heads, file fell in with La Forte: the S-fhihf »■< , her aritagonift before the fired a gun ; but whep (lie had gained'the portion (he wifhecl, (he p#ured in such a terrible (ires upon La Forte, as soon carried away all her masts, killed the captain and firft lieu tenant, and destroyed about one half of her crew ; receiving herfeif but a very trifling injury. La Forte was recently from the Ifie of France, had beenoffthe Sand-Heads some time, where (he had taken several veft'els, among others the Ofterly Eaft-Indiamaa from Madras, which (he had sent in wttU prisoners. She had the defeription of eve ry Britifli veftel at Calcutta ; but the offi cers said they had no intention of molest ing American veflels. The Captain of La Forte was well known and much re fpefted at Calcutta, and had behaved with" great humanity on every occasion. Captain Cook commanded La Sybille in this atftion ; and it is remarkable that he had taken this (hip also from the French, in the Mediterranean, in the early part of the war, with a 32 gun frigate, which he then commanded. In the conquest of La Forte, he received a flight wound. Though the Engiifit have afleinbled a most formidable army in the Carnatic, yet we do not understand lhat Tippo had made any declaration of war, or commen ced atftual hostilities; but that he had withheld the tributes stipulated by treaty, and taken other measures which indicated an intention of hostilities. It was how ever expected, that the failure of Buona parte in forming a junction with him, and of the designs of the French with Zemaim Shaw, together with the very formidable army which the Englifti had prepared to meet him, would induce him once more to make overtures for a settlement. CHARLESTON, July 25.
