Venice, 14 July. Today was in the arsenal the 44-gun Hebe launched. She was immediately fitted out to protect the Austrian merchant trade shipping in the Adriatic Sea. In the meantime will a frigate of the squadron commanded by general Paulucci responsible for the fairways between Naples and Sicily join the brigs Huzaar and Montecuccoli. If necessary will other vessels of this flotilla cruising off the entrance of the Adriatic Sea join them. The squadron will cruise as far as in the Levant.
