Naples and Gaeta arc the most important places in the kingdom of Naples. The firft as the centre of the government, and of the riches and commerce of the country; the latter as the principal eflablifhment of the Neapolitan navy ; and are unhapily exposed to the depredations of the v.&ori ous army. It is to be prcfumed-that admi ral Nelson has bad the foretight to remove every thing from the port of Geeta which might increase the maritime resources of the French, and that he hai destroyed what he could not bring away. It may be justly supposed that the fame aftivity and precau tion have been used with refpeft to Naples. But when the ifhmenfe riches of that capi tal, and the rapid progress of the French to take pofi»*ffion of it, arc considered, there are but too strong grounds to apprehend that they will find there amplefpoilsfor their rapacity. The exertions of the English fleet, in taking away or destroying every article that migh be serviceable to the naval operations of the French, is the more essen tial, as they would materially contribute to guard Sicily from an invasion, should the enemy risk an attack upon that island, which lias been preserved as an asylum for (tie king ■of Naples in his misfortunes. foreign Via -vtW-2 *rk and Charleston. January 17 —20—24. Before the commencement of hostilities, the King of Naples publifned the following Manifefto : Dear faithful, and beloved fubje&s—Af ter having, for almost forty years, exerted every effort to render you happy, and to suc cour you in all the calamities which it has pleased God to (end you, I am bow about* tn leave my beloved country, for the sols purpose o' defending our holy religion, al most overthrown to reanimate the divine worlhip, and to secure to you and to your children the ei joyment of thebleffmjfs which the Lord has given you. If I had been fare of attaining that objed by any oth r fdcrifice, believa me, I (hould not have hesi tated a moment to prefer that alternative ; but what hopes could be entertained of suc cess after the many fatal examples wi b which yoO acc]uar-ted ! I fct out therefore at the head of the brave defenders of their country, full of corifidcace i(i the San Gcrmano, Nov. 22. National institute in egypt. A kind of laftitute has been established, conflicting of the ivife men whom Buonaparte carried out with him. Along with many trifling difcufflons, not quite suitable to the present doubtful (late of their affair*, praftl cal questions, such as the establishment of mailt} the making of gunpowder and the ,efources for it, &c. have engaged the at tention of the Members. They have had several fittings. The firft fitting of this In stitution was held on the 6th of Fru6Mdor (Auguft23) at seven in the morning— Monge was chosen President, Buonaparli Vice President, Fourier Secretary, and Cojla*. Assistant Secretary. Bu napartcyxo-. posed the following questions ; j. What are the means of (Economizing the combuftiblcs ufedin the ovens ofthe army? 2. Can a substitute be found for hops; i» the manutafture of beer in Egypt ? 2. What are the best meant of keeping cool | and clarifying the w<ter of the Nile ? 4. Whether i» it more convenient to con ftru£V windjor water mills at Cairo ? 5. Doe 9 Egypt contain resources for ma king gunpowder ?—What are these re sources ? 6. What is the situation of Jurisprudence, of the Judicial order, civil and criminal, and of Inftruftions in Egypt.—Whit are the improvements that may be made in these departments, and which would be agreeable to-the people of the country ? Committees were appointed to examine each of these questions. Cohstantinople,'Nov. jo. On the 17th arrived the firft Tartar, or courier from Cairo, who had been dispatched from Egypt by the Kiaya of Bekir Facha, with advices of the defeat of the French. In the afternoon of the fame day came in a second, and in the evening a third, in the night a fourth and fifth, and the next day a sixth and seventh. So many couriers are. never remembered to have arrived at once. AH these couriers were not only presented with pelices, but each received 1000 ducats. The important dispatches they brought extend from the 15th to the 26th of Oft. Thev state that general Berthier, and about 49 ttatf officers, who met in the divan at aiTcmbled to consider on the requili tions which were to be levied, were mur dered on the firing of a pistol as a fignaU The populace of Cairo immediately took up arms and maflac-red all the French in the ca pital. The number is said to have been from 11 to 1500. . . , e General Buonaparte received the news ot this disaster in the camp near Boulac, at the moment whep he was making preparations to make head against three armies which were advancing against him—two to take Inm m flank, and ope in front. The Utter was commanded by the sworn er.emy of the French, Murat Bcy>»nd to prevent his junc tion with the other two, general Buonaparte ordered general Ds-fuix to advance agaitift him ; but Murat Bey attacked him with su perior numbers, and forced his corps, con (ifting of 4 or 5000 men, to retire. The news of this victory was soon car ried to the camps of Qfntan and Achmet, and to the city of Cairo, where all were soon under arms, and hallened to reinforce the two other armies, with whom Murat Bc:y foon.formed a junction, and again attacked the French with a very fuptrior force. 1 hey were defeated and Buonaparte fell in the bat tle. The death of this general, and the de feat of his army, drew after tiiera the ruin of the'greater part of the French garrilons in the towns of Egypt, and the city of Alex andria fell into the hands of the combined troops. A part of the transports were taken and the reft dellroyed. Another letter fame date. This day another courier arrived here from Cairo, with an account that immediately after the massacre at Cairo, Murat Bay and two other Beys attacked the French troops, ported near Cairo, and compelled them to give way to superior torce. In this bloody battle a great number of French officers of the firft rank were leit dead on the field, among" whom was general Buonaparte himfelf. Note ol the Hamburgh Editor.

About iz o'clock at night, the passengers confultcd with our mate, and thought it best, when the moon went down, to set fail, which we accordingly did ; hove all the main deck guns overboard—blowing very hard, crouded as much fail as possible. We loft fight of her abo*t half past 2, and thought best to put into Liverpool, it being a contrary course and nearest port. However, we were all ready foraftion, but the men feeing Ihe was ot much greater torce hove down tneir matches, and went down in the fore castle.

THOUGH the present state of the The atre has, in a great- tneafure deservedly, brought oh itfelf neglect, and originated in the Public that indifference to itage represen tation which must, if it continues, banith the Drama from our city ; yet in order to prevent a result so unplealant to those who admire amufelhents of this kind, it is highly necessary that the public patronage should not be withdrawn from the deserving few.— Mr. Darley is one of thole few, and in his line excelled, perhaps, by none even in Europe. His voice, almost boundless in its extent, is fitted for all the varieties of modu lation, and his Ikill in its management is tru ly fine. The Play he has felefteb for his benefit, (the Natural Son) is one of Cumber-, land's best Comedies, and the Castle of An delufia is extremely well calculated to call forth his musical powers. The wolf-fong, ''flow thou regal purple stream" and " what a charming thing's a would of them fetves ccmpenfate the tedioufnefs of a dull play to those who are " pleased with concord of lwcet founds," if such a compensation were necessary; which, however, is not the cafe, for the play is, certainly, one of the fineftproduftions of modern time.
