DREADFUL SHIP WRECK. •J-nte re stint! pai hculttrs of the loss vs Ike King Gctrgc Packet, on Salisbury Panic, near Park • 4 rule. The King George Packet, Walker, bound from Patk Gate to Dublin, failed ft cm Park-Gate exaktiy at 12 o’clock on Sunday, with a flag at her topmast head, full tide, weather hazy, and-drizzling rain, with the wind neatly South. At half pafl one o’clock, flie ft ruck on the Sa lifbttiy Sand Bank, and ic* m-lined nearly four hour* dry, with part of her crew on the hands, waiting for the next tide. No appte hen (ions were then entertained of her having te ceived any injury. On the re turn oT the tide the wind veer ed to the well, Sc she received the wind& tide right on her side rolling again It her anchor. — As the tide came in, lire filled rapidly with water; the night was dark with rain.

The pass of the Cal taro — A ve ry extraoidina-* evidence of the 01 igin of Bonaparte’s \ alue for this important pals !s in exis tence ; and what is temarkable, it has been so lor seven years, without having been much noticed. During tire French revolution, two adventurers, Nicolo and Dimo Stephano poli, were employed, fir(l by the committee of public fafety, and atterwards by “ the gene ral in chief, Bonaparte,” upon millions in Greccr, as propa gandas and dilcoverers of what could be done there for the benefit of France. Their travel; were ptibftfhcd in Pat is, in 1799, of courle not without the per million of th e French go vernment. From one of their volumes we ext rad Ihe follow ing inicrelling conversation which Dimo profeffes to have had with Bonaparte, at the head quarters at Milan in }u ly, 1797, on tire lul-jecl of the pe.ee then negotiating he iween the emperor of Germa ny and France. “ Dimo—Do you, as it is rumoured, cede Dalmatia, to tire emperor ?” “ Bonaparte —Does that a*, tonifh you ? Din it) —Much; cxcuferny freedom ; my claims are found ed on local and political infor mation. In polTtflion of Dal matia, the empiror, if he chooles it, will he loon mas ter of Albania and Greece. The Sclavonians of the mouth of the Cataro and Monte Ne gro, who can bring into tire field 35,000 men, inveterate enemies of Turkey, border on the Dalmatian frontier ; these, 1 and the Albanians of the ad’ 1 joining parts, will receive the emperor with open arms ; and, as his army will fortify it,'elf as j , advances, what can hinder I,;, n fiom extending his con* cue. 'Is to Ccftftanlinople ?” w t ’onaparte (Conic wh?t ; movid,' I—Fhe 1 —Fhe emperor will j not pass ihefe limits.’’ The narrative ends with dating, that the maps were tiren exaw.mcd ;a> and Dimo : prefitnred from Bonaparte's j iiler.ee, that he yielded to his | op iniou.

With respect to the attack on Boulogne, we understand that 40 large boats went in on Wednes day twenty then proceeded ns near the shore as they could, and threw in the lockets ; tiie olhtr 20 supplied them as they were i exhausted. ‘I he enemy were tak j en so unaware), that it wav come ! time before they manned the I .shore battelies. Their fire did 1 not begin till long after our boats had letired. of the rock ets fell on the ships, but did not do much damage. Some of the booses in the town were set on lire, thi3 was not intended by those who conducted tire expedi tion—-bet the boats are said to have stood teo close in, and did not take that circumstance into the account, but gave the same elevation to rockets, which was calculated to produce effect at a greater distance. Hence less in jury was done to the shipping than to die town ; but the attempt has snfficientlv shewn, that great success Is likely to attend the ex periment, whenever it shall be renew ed upon an ex'cusive stale. October 14. The accounts from Italy, though rather confused, lead us to hope, that the kingdom of Na ples may yet be restored to its lawful sovereign. It is stated, that the French have abandoned, for the present the idea of conquering Calabria,und that their ai-mv is to fall back to Naples ;but if the war in tire North of Europe should commence, the Freocn will find it almost impossible to maintain themselves in aitv part of Naples, because it must be recollected, that tire English and Russians have now a large disposable force in the Mediterranean, which, of course, vvili be actively employed against die French in Naples. It is indeed, asserted in some of the letters, that the Russians have actually landed m Calabria. The Austrian troops are assembling on their Iron iers lor the purpose, as it is said, of preserving a strict neutrality ; and the ‘Hamburgh pap r states, that a convention has been con cluded between Austria and France, in consequence cf which the tiuops cd tbe former are to retire behind the kins, and those ol the latter behind the Lech, ft is not very likely that Austria would bind herself by an agree ment, from w inch she could de rive no possible advantage, and which lOuld operate ooly iu favour of the French; Lord Lauderdale, as we stated last night, arijved yesterday in town.
