THE Squadron of admiral fir John Borlare Warittt,
which went in purluit oi Gantlieaume, is at prcient
in the neighborhood of Leghorn; it conliftsot 7 lhips of the
line and 2 frigates. Porto Ferrajo is thus delivered on the
sea lide; reinforcements and ammunition may now be in
troduced into it, and it will be very difficult to it sur
render.
Parity \JI FruEHdcr, Auguji 19. The minilter of
the marine received ydterday from rear admiral Latouclie
the following dispatch, dated 28th ult.
1 had the honor to inform ) ou, citizen minister, by
my letter of the 17th, of the combat of the 16th, when
the advanced guard alone of our light flotilla rendered
vain all the attempts of the Englilh fleet, and kept the en
emy at a fufficient distance to prevent the bombarding of
the port, and to protect the other divilions of the flotilla.
“ Admiral Nell’on, feeing that all his attempts were
Vain, disappeared on the 17th* without doubt to obtain
reinforcements and provisions. He appeared again ypfter
day, with ltrveral vtflels of the line, a great number of
frigates, gun boars, brigs, &c. he anchored at 3000 fa
thoms horn our advanced guard, which continued to oc
cupy its former polition of 500 fathoms in front of the
port. I had augmented it with one fe&ion, and caui’ed it
to be supported by l'ome bomb vtflels.
“ It was eal'y lor me to forefee in the evening that the
enemy meditated fome attack; his vessels were surrounded
with gun boats, barges,, cutters of all flzes. In conse
quence I ordered leveral boats to watch at a distance in
front, that 1 might be informed in time of the movements
of the enemy. At three quarters of an hour after midnight
one of these boats difeovered the enemy, and was imme
diately attacked, and the firing commenced on both Tides
with the greatest vivacity. The bombs, the cannon, and
xnufketry, in the nnuft of the waves, presented a very im
poling IpeCfacle. None of the land batteries fired, for
fear of injuring our own veficls. The enemy had embarked
from 2 to 3000 men on a large number of cutters, barges,
and gun boats; 6 of them boarded the gun boat the -/Etna,
tinder the command of capt. Perreux, commandant of the
advance guard, who with his own hand killed two Englilh
sailors. .
44 Nearly all the gun boats of the advanced guard were
attempted to be boarded at the fame time by the Euglifh
boats, but every where they found the fame rtliftance, e
very wliere they were repulsed; a part of the nioft brave
Englilhmen who attempted to board were either thrown
into the sea or made prisoners. The last gun boat on our
right, the Vulcan, was attacked several times, and always
repulsed the enemy. The gun boat the Surprise, com
manded by lieut. Carrau, funk 4 of the enemy’s boats,
and captured leveral. While the line fuflained the com
bat in front a divilion of the enemy fuccced&i in placing
•themfeives between the land and the line; but here, as at
Algeziras, they became the dupes of their niauceuvre. Our
boats accompanied the retreat of the enemy by a well sup
ported cannonade, which did not cease until 4 in the morn
ing, when they were out of cannon shot. The enemy had
8 veflels funk, and 4 were captured, and I do not think I
exaggerate when 1 flute their iols in killed and wounded
from " 4 to 500 men; the Ihore continually, presents the
bodies of dead Engliffunen. The battalions of the 46th,
57th, and 100th, which were embarked in the advanced
gu ird, have covered themfeives with glory. I will make
known to you the brave men who merit particular distinc
tions from the firft consul. 011 our fide we hail 10 men
killed and 30 wounded.”
Boulogne , Auguji 6. The following letter has been
addrefleu to rear admiral Latouclie Treville, commander
in chief of the naval forces of the channel;
41 General ,
44 The undpr prefect of the diflrief, the mayor and ad
juncts of Boulogne, owe in their own names, and the .
lunaes of their fellow citizens, the teftimouy of their ad
miration and gratitude to the brave flotilla placed under
your orders at the advanced post nearest to England.
They pray >ou to transmit it to the fcamen and IbldieTs
who so worthily represented the French army and nation
on the 4th of August. We have seen, general, with what*
unalterable cohftancy, with what invincible courage, your
comp minus in arms have fuflained, notwitliftanding an in
feriority in forces and in means which would difeourage*
any ot!ter than Frenchmen, a bombardment of 15 hours,
dirt&fcd by .the man who has tarniflied his name wit#i his
two victories over the civilization and liberty of the lias.
We have seen all the fire. of.the arsenals of England ox
tinguilhed in the waters which bathe our coast, without
having struck i’o much as one of the brave men charged
vitli our defence, and the invasion of England. How
fhotild they indeed strike the heroes who, under the auspices
oi* the genius of. Bonaparte, and tlie flag of Latouche Tre
\ille, arc h.iftciiing to spring upon that land which, for tlie
space of twelve years, has clierilhed the war, the divili
011s, and the monopoly, which devour Europe. General,
we are charged by our fellow citizens to afliire you, that
sou will here find none but good Frenchmen; we ftunitd
be so the more in proportion as c art near to England.”
London, Auguji 16. A dreadful florin has recently
occurred near Padua and Verona, which deflroved 14 vil
lages, and in a veryVkle extent lias been productive of in
credible mifehief. At Montebello, it is Hated, that a hail
-1 tone, weighing t 6 lbs. and a half, penetrated through the
foot* of a houfc, and actually made its way to the ground
floor!
The rabbis of the fynagbgue of Frankfort have, it is said,
come to a refolntion ot addrefliug a circular letter to all
the ralshk ot Germany, requefling them to caule public
prayers to be offered up in all the i\ nagogucs, to implore
the God of Abraham that he may direct the hearts of the
sovereigns of Germany, and inspire them with the delire of
Imitating tin: generolity of the Fr-nch, aud tlie beneficence
of the elector of Mentz, in favor of the children of Israel,
bv exempting them from the ignominious tax called the
“ Cloven Foot,” which they are obliged to pav in the (eve
r*l pl- ic vs, and particularly inthjrfmall imperial free towns.
Auguji 23. The Argo of 44 guns, Carvjbrt of 28,
I m • bon, j’ wilh . the Gvpw*. Warrior, Alexander,
majelttc, and Champion transports, having on board the
Sstu regiment, compriling about i6eo men, arrived off
runchal, m Madeira, on the night of the 23d July.
Capt. Bowen immediately, knt * boat Ati ftioffe iCor tbft
purpol’e of announcing to the governor the arrival of the
fqnadron, dating the object of its million to be the de*
fence of the colony against any probable attack from the
enemies of lier Faitlflul Majesty, and at the lame time
intimating that his orders dire&ed tlie forcible poffeflion
of the place, if he, tlie governor, in the lead opposed the
landing of the troops.
Arrangements were accordingly made during the night
for the debarkation of the troops under either alternative,
but our people were soon relieved by an assurance from
the governor that he regarded our people as friends and
allies, and would give them appropriate reception. *1 he
troops were accordingly landed in the morning, and im
mediately assumed the garriibn duty of the town in con
junction with the native soldiery.
NASSAU , (New Providence) September 22.
ARRIVED this day, the private lchooner of war
Ranger, capt. Barnett, and brought in with her” a
Spanifli armed brig, which Ihe captured after an aiftion of
ail hour and a half. She exceeded the Ranger- both in the
number of men and guns, and was so confident of her su
periority that die bore down upon and engaged her. From
her superior failing it is supposed that the Ranger would
not have been able to have brought her to action, had lhe
chose to have declined it.
Arrived, two American brigs and a schooner, from St.
Domingo, detained by his majesty’s ship Circe; *and a pi
lot boat from the fame island, lent in by the Hunter.
