FOREIGN-OFFICE, JUNE 5. 
Letters, of which the following 
are extracts, have been this morn- 
ing received by Lord Castlereagh 
from E. Cooke, esq. one of his 
Majesty’s Under Secretaries of 
State for Foreign Affairs, dated 
Rome, a Via della Croci, 
May 20. 
I enclose copies of military re- 
ports from Colonel Church, who 
is employed under Gen. Nugent, 
to the 18th inst. by Lord Stew- 
art’s directions, 
. On Tuesday last I went to Ci- 
vita Vecchia, with the view of 
communicating with Lord Ex- 
mouth in his passage from Genoa 
to Naples. On Thursday evening 
his Lordship’s flag appeared in 
the offing, with four sail of the 
line, and I went on board, and 
put him in possession of all 
| details; upon which he proceed- 
| ed forthwith to the Bay of Naples, 
where he must have arrived this 
morning. 
The Berwick, of 74 guns, Cap- 
tain Bruce, came to Civita Vec- 
chia on Saturday ; finding that a 
163: 
French frigate had gone into 
Gaeta, probably with a view of 
carrying off the Buonaparte fa- 
mily, he proceeded, by my desire, 
on Tuesday evening, im order to 
blockade Gaeta. 
A Neapolitan General arrived 
at Civita Vecchia on Wednesday 
from Palermo, which he left the 8th; 
he reported to me, that the King 
had left Palermo for Messina; and 
that the British and Sicilian troops 
were ready to embark. Letters 
had been sent from General Nu- 
gent and Lord Burghursh, by 
Terracina and Ponza, to General 
M‘Farlane, advising the debark- 
ation to be as near Naples as pos- 
sible. 
If Lord Burghersh’s dispatches 
have arrived, your Lordship will 
have been informed that the Duc 
de Gallo had surrendered two sail 
of the line, and the whole arsenal 
of Naples, by capitulation, to 
Captain Campbell, of the Tre- 
mendous, on his threatening to 
bombard the city. 
The accounts herewith sent, 
will prove satisfactorily to your 
Lordship, that the war is on the 
eve of being successfully termi- 
nated. The Neapolitan army does 
not support the cause of Murat, 
much less the people, who receive 
the allied troops as liberators, and 
are merely anxious fur the res- 
toration of their ancient and legi- 
timate Sovereign, being exaspe- 
rated and disgusted with all the 
vexations, deceptions, and perfi- 
dies of Murat. 
I have sent the originals of 
Colonel Church’s reports to Lord 
Stewart at Vienna. 
I most sincerely congratulate 
your Lordship on the prospect of 
so early and happy a termination 
to the projects of Murat.
