E xtraSl of a letter from Plymouth, Augujl 36.
“ This morning, at 8 (’clock, the signal was fired on
board the Cambridge at Hanoaze, and a yellow flag hoisted
on board the Indoftan in tin found, and Caesar irr Cawfand
Bay, wheil a grand and fotemn procelfion of armed boats
began from the Cambridge in Hamoaze, which conveyed
tlie 6 unhappy condemned Irishmen for mutiny’
(viz. Bartholomew DulF, Lawrence Buckley, Michael j
Butler, John Drefmond, J. Mahon; and John Cotton) on’
board the Gcl’ar, to that (hip in Cawfand Bay; about 100 -
boats manned and armed from the fleet attended round the
Csefar St a quarter before 12; at noon the fatal bow gun
fired, and they were all run up to the fore yard arm; . the
bodies having hung an hour were cut down and conveyed to
the royal hospital for interment. It is hoped these terrible
examples Will operate as a caution against mutiny, and what
is worle, a Popifti conspiracy to extirpate all Protestants on
board the fevei'al Blips in the fleet, such being the terms
of tlieir diabolical aud (hocking oath.”
September 9. The Miniftcrof the French Marine has
addrefled a letter to the Naval Commanders in the several
ports of France, on the fiibjetft of the loss of la y'enfible
man of war, in which he makes use of the following.lan
guage: -
“ It is time that the Navy should know that it is not j
enough to juftify the ids of a (hip that it {urrenders only j
to superior force; it is neceffarv that a bloody and obfti- 1
nate, and a terrible reliftance, ‘flioUkl alleviate the lbrrow
of a defeat, and foften the regret of die Republic. The
Executive Directory will not fufler themselves to be fed need
by any conftdcration. repugnant to this determination, which
1 now communicate to you. It will give its confidence!
only to officers who shall deft rvV it by talents and courage.’*!
On the 17th of last month tie city of Terraciila, on the j
northern confines of Naples, was taken by artault by the’
French and Polilh troops.’ Four (land .of colors, placed on
the ramparts of the citadel, were taken, but that of Naples
elcapjed. Several of the Poles, including a Major, and a
great many French officers and soldiers, were killed* The
lol's of the rebels was very considerable.
Septcinber A Hamburg mail arrived this day, and
brings accounts that hate excited no little degree of inte
terelt in die city. It is Confirmed that Buonaparte diu not
reach Alexandria till lofae days alter Admiral Nelson had
left it. The landing of tne French has been conftdered by
the Porte as an open violation of the peace subsisting !x;-
tween the two powers, anfl measures have in conlequcnce
been adopted by the latter for maintaining its own dignity.
Russia joins with the Porte on the pfefent occasion, and
the letters from Vienna state that all the French property
in Turkey has been coniifcated.
The following is a letter received by Mr. Free ling at
the Poftoffice from Mr, Karward, tlie Agent for the packet

“ Cuxhdven , September 9.
“ I have the fatisfa&ion to inform you, from the nlft
authentic information, that the army under Gen. Buona
parte has been attacked by an immtnle body of Arabs, who
have killed 8000 men and taken 2000 prisoners. I have
not the good fortune to be able to give further particulars
of this important event, but hope that the truth of the
whole will amply compeniate for it.
“ To Mr. Freeling, Pojloffice.”
Mr. Freeling-ferit a copy of the above to Lloyd’s cof
feehonfe, accompanied with the following note:
“ September 15, 1798.
u Mr. Freeling’s compliments to MelTrs. Bennet and
Cos. fends them an extract of a letter received this morning

commencement of the operations against the invading ene. ■
my until the surrender of the french forces.
lhe perseverance with which the soldiers supported the j|
extraordinary marches which were neceflary to stop the I
of the very a drive enemy does them the greauft |
credit;’ and Lord Cornwallis heartily congratulates them
on the happy ifTue of their meritorious exertions.
The corps of yeomanry, in the whole country through
which the army has parted, have rendered the greatest fer<
vices; and are peculiarly entitled to the acknowledgment*
of the Lord Lieutenant, from their not having tamifhei !
that courage and loyalty which they difplaved in the cause
of their King and Country, by any ads of wanton cruelty
towards their deluded fellow ifubjeds.
