the Inspector of the Marine, at Toulon.

"I hasten to inform you, that the nephew of general Kilmaine, who arrived here at five o'clock this day, in a Felucca from Genoa, has brought intelligence that a corvette, detached from our squadron, is arrived at Civitta-Vecchia, and brought a dispatch from general Buonaparte, for the French general at Rome, the contents of which was, that after having effected the landing of his troops at Alexandria, Buonaparte put to sea again to seek the English: that he came across them off the Heights of Messina, and gained a complete victory over them. Five English ships of the line fell into the hands of the French, among which number was Admiral Nelson's ship, who immediately blew out his own brains."

This same officer added that he had been sent from Rome, the 29th of August to carry this interesting news to general Brune at Milan. As I was present when this report was made to the general of division, Garnier, who commands this place, I determined to transmit it to you by the quickest conveyance persuaded that you will approve of my dispatch.
