It wai understood at Cadiz, that the pro ceedings at Rafladt were not conciliatory.

The Roman consuls and French com missaries and generals at Rome, have con sented to the Pope's remaining in Tufcany ; but they have desired that his royal high ness wou'd remove Jiim to some part of the Grand Duchy more distant from the con fines of the Roman Republic: in confe .quence of which, his royal highness invited his holfnefs to take up his abode at the .carthutfian convent, distant only two miles from his metropolis, where his holiness ar rived yesterday evening in tolerable good and was received with all the atten tion and refpeft due to his rank and cha radter, by his royal highness' special orders, who Cent offers of every thi.'g that could be ferviceablc and magnificent s .for his holinefs's accommodations. The Pope would have arrived at this con vent some days sooner, had he not been obliged to fly to Sienna, and take refuge in a noblrman's coun'ry house, near this city in consequence of a dreadful earthquake which took place there on the 25th ult. which threw down a considerable part of the convert in which his holiness resided. The earthquake has Heen attended with fatal confequeiictß, and has been continued by repeated (hocks, and trembling of the earth; and even yesterday the earth was oceafiona ly perceived to move. Some lives have been loft, and a great number of the inhabitants maimed, and there is not a house in the whole city which has not fuffered more or less, and some are actually levelled with the ground. PHILADELPHIA The town is entirely def rted. Those who have not country houses to retire to have made temporary t'en-ts and coverings in the adjacent fields, to which they are retir ed. Even trials is said in a public garden adjoining to the city. -' ITALY, JutfE 1. The Milan Gaiette contains a report, that a new inftirredio* has broken out at Rome, after the departure of the French troops. At Genoa an infurrediion of the popu lace is greatly apprehended. The mal contents (hout publicly " Live St. Mary- Death to the Patriots." Several have been arrested at Genoa. Tranquility is again restored in the vici nity of Perugia. The palace of the knights of Malta at Rome, has been seized, ar.d their effe&a fold for the benefit of the French republic. • .' MUNICH, June 5. TRe Nuncio of the Holy See resident here, has received we learn the following intelligence: " The Fernch general St. Cyr, who com mands at Rome, wrote some time since to the Grand Duke of Tufcany,-that as the troubles which had broken intf Italy> and principally at Pel ugh, had been occa sioned by the Pope, he prayed his highness to take such meafurts as should prevent his holinvfs from making 33-y longer day within his territories. The Grand Duke having declined, it is said, to take any ftcpi in eonfequence- of this demand, the general sent him a second letter, the contents of which resembled a declaration'of war. Soihn after a detachment of French troops entered Siena, seized the person of the sovereign Pontiff, as well as several cardinals an i con veyed them to Leghorn, where a flotilla was ready to receive them, which immediately set fail for Cagliari in Sardinia, GENOA, June 8. War between our republic and-the K : ng : of Sardinia is now nearly declared. It is kngwn that a (hort time since, about 500 Pi edmontefe rebels seized the townof Carofio, which is entirely surrounded by our terri tory. The king of Sardinia after some fruit, less application to onr government, for a passage for his troops, thought proper to order 4000 men to march thro' the Liguri an republic and attack the town. The re bels immediately evacuated Carofio, which was taken poffefiion of by the Sardinian troops. Shortly after a battle took place on tfie Ligurian territory, nearGavi, the com' mandant of which town fired on the con tending parties. The flrirmifhing continu ed two days longer, without any decisive advantage on either fide. The loss of the Royal troops in killed and wounded was much greater than that of the rebels. This inroad into the territory of the Republic caused the great council to come to the fol lowing refoiutions. ill. That the diredtory (hould take such meafurts as (hoflld render the Ligurian ter ritory refpeded. ad. That all Ligurian citizens (hould re ceive notice of the present situation of the Republic with refpedi to the court of Turin. 3d. That 500,000 livres should be as signed to the dire&ory to enable it to take such measures as would repel any hostile at tack of the Piedmontefe troops. I he frontiers of the Republic have been in eonfequence occupied by the troops of the line, volunteers and artillery, and a pro clamation publi(hed, addressed to the citi zens" of the Republic. We are very defir «us to know how the French will adt in eon fequence of this affair. It is said that 7000 Freflch troops have already marched to Aleffiiudria and Novi, to watch the motions of our troops, and those of Sardinia. Another letter, fame date. Yesterday and to-day several corps of troops marched for the Piedmontefe fron tiers. Our patriots flatter, tbemfelves that they will soon return crowned with laurels, after having dethroned the king of Sardinia ; though this latter event is certainly much to be doubted. Some obfeived, that the French Republic has promised the king of Sardinia an enlargement of his dominions, and that he is the ally of France. They likewise remind us that it was not long since reported, that the French Republic would extend its boundaries to Savona, and even to Genoa. But on the other fide, our di reftory appears to have a tied in concert with the agents of France. It is said that a battle has already taken place between our tro6p& and those of the king of Sardinia. LONDON July 16. ADMIRALTY OFFICE, July 14, '9B. Couy of a letter from the right honourable lord Bridport, K.B. to Evan Nepean, efqr. dated on board the Royal George at sea, July it, 1798- The inclofijd copies of letters will in form their lordlhips of the taking La Seine, and the loss of his majesty's (hip La Pique.

IjP the early part of the battle, I had the mortification to be wounded, and wa9 oblig ed to leave the deck; but my misfortune is palliated by the refledlion that the ferviee did rot fuffer by my absence, for no man could have filled my place with more credit te-fcimfclf, and benefit td the State than my firft lieutenant, Mr. Charles Inglfs; wham I beg to recommend in the (Ironggft man ner for his bravery, (kill, and great ex ertions. I come now, my lord, to the painful part ef my narrative, which I am neceffiated to make more prolix than I otherwise should, from the peculiar circumstances attending the engagement; and I firfl mention the loss. »f the Pique, whose officers and crew deferred a better fate. Captain Milne had led her to fight in an officer like manner, but it wai his misfortune that the main top mad being carried away, he was obliged to drop a stern. Ardour urged him on to re new the combat, he did not hear me hail him to anchor, and the (hip therefore grounded on cur off fide, near enough to receive the enemy's fhrtt over 11s, although very aukwardly fituattd for returning the fire. In the morning every attempt was < made to get the (hip off, but the Jason was j alone fuccefsful I therefore, on si ding ' the Pique was bilged, dire&ed the captain ] to destroy her, and to exert bis abilities and | adlivity to save prize; which he with great difficulty got afloa: yesterday evening, after throwing her guns, &c. overboard- The carnage on board La Seine was very great; 170 men were killed, and about 100 wounded, many of tjiem mortally. I !h ---clofe a lift of the fnfferers on board the Ja son ; and it is with great concern that among the killed I place the name of Mr. Anthony Richard Robot'er, my second Lieutenant, who died fighting glorioully, and by whole : fall is loft a mod amiable man and excellent officer. Lieutenant Riboleau commanded on the main deck afterwards, and behaved with great spirit, as did Mr. Lock wood, the Mailer, and lieutenant Symes of the Marines ; my other officers of eveiy descrip tion behaved vastly weil, and the bravery and excellent copdudt of the crew deserve much praise. The Pique was exceedingly (hattered in her rigging, and tfie Jason has not one mad or y*rd but 4 what is much damaged, nor a (hroud nor rope but what is cut, with all the fails torn to pieces. If our ship cpuld have remained in hrr fiift position, or our companion could have occupied the situation he widied, the bufnicfs mud have been soOner finifhed, withou so much injury be ing done aloft. It is but judice to observe that every effort was made on board the Mermaid, during our long chace, to ap proach the enemy, and I feel much indebted to Captain Newman for having this (hip off, as that was the only possible means to favc her. So soon as we were afloat, the squa dron under Captain Stopford wa6 fcen in the offing, and being called in by signal, was of infinite ferviee. I have the honr;rto"be See. CHARLES STIRLING.
