The English have at length ex ecuted the desent with which they have so long threatened us. But this time their attempts directed against Calabria have turned to their disadvantage, though at first they had marked success. Ic is afflicting to have to sav, that they induced part of the inhabitants to rise, and that act of remit has forced the Generals to inflict ail the rigor of the laws of war upon the villages and the inhabitants. The following is the first report published relative to these bloodv & (fairs ; “ On the first julv GOOD English landed at. the Gtdph St. Eufemia, in Calabria. On the 4th General Hognier attar ked them with the 42il regiment, and the Polish re” gimeut. Ho was repulsed ; gene ral Compere severely wounded & made prisoner, with‘3oo Poles. “ r I he English had been join er! by 3000 men, and bv 3 or 4000 insurgents, who advanced into the Country,and quitted the protection of their vessels. —One league from Cosenza they ■were attacked by gci eral Ver ditr,at the head of 10,000 infantry and 2000 cavalry.—The English were broken, routed, and at the moment of writing the account lS.t'O English prisoners had al ready arrived at headquarters— General Verifier was in pursuit of the rest; J t i s hoped they c/huld rot be able t<> join their slops ; On the other hand, General fb gnier proceeded to Cottnaa, gave up the village of Leffola to pi Mage ; 500 revolted Cabtbrions, (>'. e. at tached to their lawful sovereign,) wtie put to the sword. Further difficulties have taken place in the surrender of Cata ro. The uuashms have expres sed their readiness to give up the place, but that the inhabitants will not give it up to the French. A battle took place between the Russians and Ftench, on the 6h, in the Ruga-aon t> r itory. T he AJonitcur savs, that the Rus sians were defeated, and have re embarked for Corfu. * ft is said that ( attaro has been taken by a detachment of the natives favor able to the who have de fended it against the Greeks and Momengrin. LIVERPOOL, August 20. This morning we received a Leyden journal of the 15th inst. The news from Paris contained in this paper comes down to the 9th inll. It ap pears that t. e report which was circulated refpefcling the manner in which Lord Lair derdale was received in Paris, was wholly dellitnte ol foun dation.—lnfL au of being kept waiting four or live day s for n interview with Talievrand, he law him the morning after hisartivaliu Paris.

Brighton is mentioned at the place to which he will proceed ; but it is more probable that a situation will fie feleUed Ids exposed to fa. fhionable hurry, bullle and tumult. Policies were opened on Tuefdav in the city, offering twenty-five guineas to receive back one hundred, if Lord Lauderdale quitted Paris be. foie twelve o’clock iaft night without concluding prelimina ries.
