His Majefly's (nips Avow and CAMILLA, with the Ellifon, STR AN ACK ; Ann and Eliza, SYMES, and the reit of the fleet under cohvoy, bound to the Weft Indies, which failed from Portfmouth on the *6th April, were left all well on the 18th tilt. in lat. 28. long. 22. fixtreiglit fail in company, by his Majefly's Ihip DECADE, which arrived at Portfmouth yetterday.

A very general expectation prevailed yellerday that farther accounts refpeeling affairs in Egypt, and which were fuppofed to have been brought by the PRINCRSS EttzL et rit packet, the arrival of which we have before announced, would be received ; but this packet having (ailed from Malta on the 3oth of April, fume days before - the Porde EE left that place, c urld not bring any fuch intelligence. We have already laid before our Readers the fob- Rance of the intelligence brought by the Postrav, with a lift of the killed and wounded in the firfl bat tle on the 3tft of March. The particulars of the fecond battle are not yet known even to Gavernment. The refult only has reached them. After our troops were driven from Rofetta, they formed behind a !rally entrenchment in the plain ad joining, and fent to Alexandria for reinforcements. General STEWART was inftantaneoufly difpatched to their all - titan:re with a force of nearly three thoufand men. In the mean time, the enemy had likewife been reinforced by the Albanians from Cairn, and the inhabitants of the Banks cf the Nile, who poured into the city by thoufands. The junetion of General BrEWART had fcarcey been effeeled, when the Albanians refolved to attack the Britith Troops. The pofition of the Britith was _peculiarly unfavourable to enable them to fupport this attack of a force fo infinitely luperior to them. The grarand was a perfefi plain—and as the foil was mottling but a tonic land ; even their entrenchments would not cohere for a fingle minute together. In this titirci.sn the Britith received the attack of the Albanians, a great part of whom were well mounted, and rode on all fides of the entrenchments ; firli dildrarp,iag their pieces, and then retreating full fpeed. Thoufands of balls were thus fired at the Biitilh troi,ps. Our countrymen received the af. failants v.ith their charafterillic valour :—the con. left way long and bloody. The B ititft not only - repelled, but locceeded in almoft annihilating, the body which fir R affailed them. Their courage, how. ever, was in vin—freflt multiudes poured in upon every fide, and the refult was, that the Britith were compelled to fall back upon Alexandria, which they did in the f use of a fquare, fighting the whole way, and fuff,:riag c.nder a moll galling fire from the ' enemy. In this fec.sni affair, which took place on the 19th of April, it is kniwn that Colonel !si'Llton was woun• ded, and is milli ig, Ali therefore, in all probability, is in the hands of the enemy. Lieutenant C olonel Foousastaiand Nu r , MOoRE, of De Roll's Regi ment, are alio wounded; but, we are happy to add, that when the accounts came away, the wounded were all in hopeful way. The 311 t Regimentsand the Chalreur; Britanniques, 1 111111h.the only troops with General WAUCHOPE at the . attackd►n Rofctta on the 3ta of March. The rein forcements which enabled the troops to make a fecund attempt on the igtle of April, were the fira battalion of the 35th, and the 78:h, with the Regiment de Rnll. We can afrert from the belt authority, that early in May a reinforcement of 1533 men was fent . from teleflina, and - a confiderable tun of money, a quantity"of ammtiniti tn, and an abundant provi fv)ti t f that molt effentied ankle, water, were fent from Malt to Alexandria. It was alfo intended to fend critilideraule reinforcements from Sicily. With thefe accealons of fir eogth, we lhould hope Alexan driaias been maintained. We will not fay, how. ever, that circumaances may not have arifen, which might have lintiered its evacuation a meafure of imperious 'twee& y. The gallant hlajor-General Workouts, who fo nobly fell in the battle of the 3111 of Match, was buither to the late Mr. W . .111019)1 of Niddry, near Pinburgh. • Brigadier-General Nisate is brother of Lord CI. • WI Luau, and was a volunteer in Egypt under the immortal Aakleaomags. A confiderable gloom hangs over the public mind 1 in confequence of the prefent afpea of the political attnorphere of Europe. Government, it is confidently Paid, have received intelligence from the Continent, which indicates an approaching diffolution of thole few remaining bonds that united the interefls of this country, and thofe which have not yet fallen a prey either to French domination or influence. We are fearful fome want of confidence in thofe who have had, or now have, the direaion of our affairs at home, or the conduit of fume abroad, has led them to this change of fyflem. _ _ Government yeflerday received difpatches from Admiral Lord Cottt NGWOOD, cruizing off Cadiz.— It was flrongly reported in the fleet, that the Spa. niards meditated an attempt to put to fea ; but we can hardly hope they will exhibit fucl► a noble daring. What we Rated on Wednefday refpating an un fuecefsfulattaelt on Buenos Ayres in April,isrepeated in letters from Lifbon, received yefierday by the Mail. We Bill confider the report as unfounded. THE ARMY. Government drave, for the prefent, given up the idea of fending off the minor Expedition, under thofe gallant Officers Sir JOHN DOYLE, lioucurom, ROTTRNBURGH, and DORRIEN. Lieutenant General Sir JoHN Dort' returns to his Government of Guernfey, as Commander in Chief there, to the great joy of all tanks in the ifland, civil as well as military. The preparations for the Grand Expedition are by no means flackened. On the contrary, they are haflened fince the accounts arrived of the fall of Dantzick. The Staff is now completed, and Lord C►THCART is hourly employed in Glouceller Place with arrangements from morning to evening. The ftores are all embarked; the tranfports almoft all collected ; great bodies of troops are on their march to the Kentiih coaft ; and many corps on the eve of embarkation.

The Hon. Colonel Gisvit.ta goes out to South America, with 200 recruits for that fine corps the 38th. between this corps and the 4oth, we under (land that there is a great rivalihip in point of ex cellence, at Monte Video : both there corps will ever acquit themfelves with exampiary gallantry. It is expected that the MALABAR man of war, Captain Tara PLE, Kill fail in a few days for South America. Very large detachments are going out nnder his convoy for the 2111 Dragoons ; the 38th, 4 0 th , 47th, 75ft, 87th, 88th, 89th, and 9111, Regi ments.

Not lefs then 300 troops are going out to India by the fleet naw under difpatch : the two entire tegi• ments are the r4A Foot, Lieutenant Colonel Viral.- sort ; and the zd Blttaiion of the Pompadours, Lieutenant Colonel KEATI'..O. The zd B tttali )n of the 34th, Lieutenant Colonel PARKHILL, are detained for the prefent. Many of the King's and the Com panies Officers are going out to Ceylon and all the Settlements in India. Among the Officers g ing to t!'e Cape, are, Gene ral WET He RA lA, and Dr. Hus sey, Deputy Infpeftor of Hofpitals. The Swifs regiment, De Meuron, are about to fail for Gibraltar, where they will for fume time remain in garrifon. The loth Veteran Battalion, Colonel Zotrca, are about to fail to Canada, there to remain Ilatilnary. The gallant 76th regiment, which fhone with fo much didinetion under Lord Lane, are going to Jerfcy, for the purpofe of being completed. Monday, a party of recruits, amounting to about 80, arrived in Greenock, on their way to Dublin, to join theirregiment, the 2d battalion of the 92d. The Wilts Regiment of Yeomanry Cavalry, com manded by Lord Banc F, completed the ten days duty for which they had affembled at Marlborough and Devizes, on Wednefday LA, when the fcveral troops returned to their refpeEtive homes. It is reported that the Militia Regiments are to be reduced, on the fame plan and ellablithment as they flood in the year 1799, via. 12 Companies, into to Regiments of /to Ditto, into 8 8 Ditto, int) 6 and fo in proportion.

Our readers will recollect, that we fume time ago extras ted from the Ft ench papers a letter from Genoa, dated May t, Dating that the Seatioass frigate had been captured by a lquadron of thips from Toulon. We are now happy to have in our power to 'tate, Fgitively, that that account is not true: levers have been received by Lord COLLINGWOOD, from Capt.
