ITALY, Augufl i. ALL the recounts which have been received in the different Italian ports agree that the Englilh apd y reach fleets have mjit. According to fome Admiral Nclfon, and according to others Euonapartc, is killed. It is likewise said in fome letters that fonie frigates have been taken. Other accounts fay that the French, after the tattle, which was fought near Alexandria, arrived at that port, and efftdfod a landing. No ofHcial intelligence how ever lias yet been made public. Vienna, Augufl 21. According to all the advices re ceived from Italy fome events of importance have taken place between Buonaparte and Admiral Nvifon, of the cir cumstances of which we can fay nothing certain, as the reports are extremely various, and no official accounts have been received. Almost all the accounts we have received? however agree that Admiral Nelfoo has taken several French Ihips of war and transports. . London, Augufl 23. In a second edition we yesterday •announced the diiagreeable intelligence of the capture of tlie Raymond and Woodcot E;ift Indiamen, by a Frerxth frigate, in ‘Fellichery lloads; and the loss of the Princess Amelia, by fire, off Pigeon Island. ■ The following account was lent from the India Hotffe for the information of the gentlemen at Lloyd’s and the Stock Exchange: Eafl India Itoufe, Augufl at. __By a letter received from Mr. Tooke, the East India Company’s Agent at Constantinople, dated July 23, it appears, by the report of the Captairi of the Port of Alex andria, who escaped from thence to Cyprus, from whence lx: has forv arded a dispatch to Constantinople, that Buona parte actually disembarked at Alexandria, on or about the Bth of July, from ij to 20,000 men, and that he net with little or no reliftance from the Turks. Buonaparte’s fleet, (Lips of war, and transports, is Uatcd to be near 300 fail.” Government received similar accounts from Mr* Smith, cur Charge d’Affaires at Constantinople. From tncle accounts there can be little doubt that the gveatdi part of Buonaparte's fleet has cfcaped Admiral Nclion. It is not impo/hble, however, that the rear di vision may have been overtaken by our fleet, and that we may yet receive plealing intelligence rcfpccVmg the event. It is reported that before the Meffengcr left Conftantfo nople the Prate had declared war again!! France. Augufl 27. The Earl of Elgin arrived yesterday after noon at the Countess of Elgin’s Jkiufe in Downing street from the Court of Berlin. Count Gobenzel left Berlin on the 13th of August, and h was thought that the Ruffian Prince Repnin was likewise about to leave that city. *1 he French fpcak of no loss than three naval expeditions which they are now preparing. We rejoice to hear it, for we know that our fleets arc perfectly prepared to meet them.

Many rep its arc in circulation here concerning a very bloody engagement which is said to have happened between Admiral Nclion and Buonaparte near Alexandria. The Englilh Gonful at Leghorn has announced a capital victory on the fide of Nelson over the French; and ti e French Consul at the Fame time obffrved a profound lilcncc. There is even intelligence hv a private letter from a gentleman of ponlequence at Florence, in which it is.faid Buonaparte is entirety defeated, and made prisoner. I remain, &c. J. W. llankey. August 31. A Frcmh paper of the 26th inll. entitled, Ia: Clef dn Cabinet, received in town yesterday, has the following important detail, which wo can lav obtains very general belief in the big hell and bt ft informed circles. The article is dated from Frankfort, and “states, that by advices bom Trie He, and likewise from another port in It aly, an account had been received of an aibion having taken place between the Englilh and French fleets in tlte Medi terranean. ’i’he circtnnflances which arc particularly de tailed are as follow: “On ljtb Meflidcr, (July 5J the hoflile fleets •jm/ in the morning. Avery elefe and warn: engage ment ensued, which Lifted the whole day, and ended at night, without viHory having declared on either Jidc. The two following days, the bth and Jtb of July, were calm, and the fleets lay in fight repairing their dam ages. On the B th the Er.rlijh fleet, being favored by an eaftrriy wind, fueeeeded in cutting off 8 French flips of the line, with which a eery clofc and desperate - aTion immediately took place. It ended, however, by the yielory declaring in favor of the Briiijh , the whole 8 flips being taken or funk. “ The chiton was extremely bloody on both flues, the Crew of the L’Orient (Buonaparte's flip) having been repeatedly reinforced by drafts from other flips which were not jo closely engaged. The L'Orient at Lift funk , as well as Sir Horatio Nclfon's flip, (the Vanguard.) The Britifl Admiral, who was'badly wounded, was re moved on board the Culloden, where he had the fatif faction of receiving Buonaparte and his whole Etat Major, about two hours before be (Sir lloratio) died es bis wounds.’’ Such is the detail of this article in I e Clef du Cabinet, to which* as we lia>e already olderved. great credit is at tached here, and which fectns to be too circumftnnual to be wholly the fi&ion of a French editor, for which he would be liable to pay the forfeit of his life. We leave it to our readers however to form their own opinions and concluftofis. The article likewise states the English force very corredl ly; twelve 74 gun fliips, one 64, and a 50, hefides frigates. We are concerned to find in the Paris jotynals an official account of the loss of his MajtTty’s frigate L’Aigle of 3S guns, Capt. Tyler, on the Hie of Planes, in the Mediter ranean, as it was on its voyage to join Admiral Nd lon’s fquadron* This vessel was burnt by order of the Captain, to prevent her falling into the hands cf the enemy; and the crew, of whom it does not appear that any were lo’ft, were carried, we do not learn in what manner, into Tunis. Plymouth, Augufl 16. Yesterday the Tiger, Sir Sid ney Smith, went out of harbor to Spithead; /he carries 42, 36, and 24 pounders, and is to be employed on a secret expedition planned by’ Sir Sidney on the ccaft of France. Portsmouth, August 27* All the men of war arvtcc ett flute are this evening getting under weigh to carry troops for Ireland.

Hutclunfoii, o dated Caftlebar, 26th in the evening, that the enemy had not then attempted to move from Kil lala. Their three frigates had fttiled from the coast. The Major General expected Ihortly to be in force to move a gainlt the enemy. The province of Connaught continues in perfect tranquillity. Ext raid of a htterfrom Baliinrobrj August 2;. • u Friday mo:;.ing, at 2 o’clock, we were alarmed by an e-'prefs for the carabinee rs, the Frenc h being about to land at Killala, about 42 miles from hence.

Sir Thomas, on reconnoitring thrir works, was attacked, but after a tnort /kirnliMi hal on’v a tw men, about 8, /lightly wounded, and a i’erjenni miffing. Our troops killed one of their officers, and retreated to Caftle bar, where they now arc waiting for a !apply of troops, who are hourly- parting through tiiis quarter, and it is thought will to morrow proceed to attack them. “ On Sir ThoriVasfll-rapmairs- retreat the enemy auvaftc oil as far as Baltina, (7 miles nearer u.) but did not keen it long, having conceived it prudent to return to their firft polition. They picked up several prisoners, among them Sir William Boyd. The alarm occafioncd by the appearance of the enemy has crowded this town, a number of families having de ft, r ted their habitations, hot only from the neighborhood of Killala but from parts within two miles of us. Thank God there is a conuderab’e body of troops and ordnance in motion, and the ccnmon peoplp teem fteadv and well af fected; a few days will terminate the bufiuefs.” ‘Dublin Caflle , August 29,’ 1798.

The Lieutenant General regrets that (> fieldpicces fell into the enemy’s hands; hut states that the loss of the King s troops in men has not been confide; able. Dublin C.tftls , 3 bth Augufl, 1798.
