LINDON GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY. THURSDAY. OCTOBER 22. DOWNING-STREET, OCTOBER 21, 180 E. A Difpatch, of which the following is a Copy, was this Day received (in Duplicate) at the Ofike of the Right Honourable Lord HOBART. One of his Majefty's Prine ipal Secretaries of State Had-(barters, Camp before Alexandria, Sept. 3, z 8o r. My Lord—l have now the fatisfaCtion to inform your Lorclihip, that the forts and town of Alex andria have furrendered to his Majelty's troops, who, on the 2d inftant, took poffeffion of the en trenched camp, the heights above Pompey's Pillar, the redoubt de Bain, and the fort Triangular. By the capitulation the garrifon are to be embark ed for France in the courfe of ten days, provided the (hipping is in a Rate of preparation to receive them. The operations again(' the enemy's works com menced on the 17th of Auguft. Major-General COOTE embarked with a Prong corps on the inundation in the night between the i6th and 17th of Auguft. He effeded his land ing to the wefiward of Alexandria with little or no oppofition, and immediately inverted the firong caille of Marabout, fituated at the entrance of the welkin harbour of Alexandria. On the call Pcle of the town two attacks were made to get poffeflion of fome heights in front of the intrenched pofition of the enemy. I intrußed the condo& of the attack againft their right, to Major-General Ceanoce; and that againft their left to Major-General MOORE. Thole two officers perfedly executed my intentions, and performed the (cry ice committed to their care with much pre cifion and ability—The adion was neither °bib nate nor fevere, and our lois is but (mall; but it afforded one more opportunity to difplay the promptnefs of Britilh officers, and the herobin of Britifh foldiers. A part of General Doves's bri gade, the 3oth regiment, (but under the imme diate command of Colonel SPENCER ' ) had taken poffeffion of a hill in front of the enemy's right. General Meetly, who was in perfon in that part, of the French intrenched camp, direftly oppofite to our poß,ordered about fix hundred men to make a fortie, to drive us from our 'pofition.—The enemy advanced in column with Axed bayonets and with out firing a (hot, till they got very dole to the 3oth regiment, to whom Colonel SPEPICIR gave an immediate order to charge, though they did not ionfift of niore than two hundred men; he was obe)ed with , a fpirit and determination worthy the higheft panegyric. The enemy were driven back to their entrenchments in the greateft conh fion—they had many killed and wounded, and le feral taken prifoners. On the night between the IPth and Igth Major- General Coors opened batteries againft the cattle of Marabout ; an attack was alto made from the lea by feveral Turkifh corvettes, and, the launches and boats of the fleet, under the guidance of the Honourable Capt. COCHRANE; great 'pet fe mance and exertions were required to get up heavy guns through a difficult and almoll. impracticable coun ty ; but the troops executed this painful and ar . uous ferrite with fuch zeal and continued firm efs, that the fort capitulated in the night of the ill; the garrifon confined of about one hundred - nd eighty men, and were commanded by a Chef •e brigade. On the morning of the 22d, Major-General oort marched from Marabout to attack a ftrong crps polled in his front, in order to cover the pproach to Alexandria; the managements of that xcellent officer appear to have been able and judi ious, and were attended with the moft comPlete =eels; he drove the enemy every where, though ' rongly polled, and in a country which oppofed .ncommon obftacles to the progrefs of troops. se French coffered extremely in the anion, and • treated in much confullon, leaving their wound ed and (even pieces of cannon behind them. On the 24th, batteries were opened againft he redoubt de Bain ; and on the astir, at night, lajor-General Coors furprifed the enemy's ad anted polls, when (even officers and fifty men 'ere taken prifoners ; this fervice was gallantly rfortned by Lieutenant-Colonel SMITH, with the It battalion of the sods regiment, and a fmall de achment of dragoons tinder the orders of Lieu rnant KeLLY, of the 26th. The enemy endea r nured to regain poffeMon of the ground from Ouch they had been driven, but were repulfed is loft. On the morning of the 26th we opened four arteries on each fide of the town againfl the in tzriched camp of the French, which loon filenced heir fire, and induced them to withdraw many of I,eu• guns. On the a7th, in the evening, General NlE..oti eat an Aide-de.Camp to requelt an armillice for irec days, in (viler to give time to prepare a ca aulation, which, after tome difficulties and de- Ys, was ligned on the ad of September. I have the honour to enclofe you a copy of the :Titillation, and alfo a lift of the number of per -o;is for whom the enemy have required thipping ; .r this it appears, that the total of the Garrifon :Alexandria confined of upwardsof SOOO foldicrs, rd 300 fail ors. i . his arduous and important lei - vice has at length n brought to a concluflon. The exertions of ,i;vidnals have been fplendid and meritorious. •;.:ret that the bounds of a difpatch will not allow to fpecify the whole, or to mention the name 4 C'cry peribn who has di flinguithed himfelf in the fervicc. I have received the greaten frrp t and an; fiance from the General Officers of the • The conduit of the troops of every defcrip ..,,t has been exemplary in the higheft dcgiee ; `ice has been much to applaud and nothing to I!tnentl; their order and regularity in the camp been as confpicnous as their courage in the ,d. To the Quarter-mafter Gen. Lieut. Col. An- I owe much for his unwearied indunry !Id zeal in the public fervice, and for the aid, ad • and co-operation, which he has at all times frurcled me. Brigadier General LAWSON, who ':ram coded the artillery, and Captain BRYCE, the Engineer, have both great merit in their dif -"t deparunents.

The !kill and perfeverance of thole two Officers have overcome difficulties which at &ft appeared almoa infur mountable.• . Lieutenant Colonel LINDENTHAL, who has al ways thed with the Turks, deferves my utmoft acknowledgments; his adivity and diligence have been unremitted, and he has introduced amongff them an order and regularity which does him the highet honour. During the courfe of the long fervice on which we - have been engaged, Lord KEITH has, at all times, given me the moil able afliftance and coun fel. The labour and fatigue of the navy have been continued and exceflive ;---it has not been of one day or of one week, but for months together. In the Bay of Aboukir, on the new inundation, and on. the Nile, for one hundred and flit) , miles, they have been employed without intermiffion, and have fubmitted to many priva tions with a chearfulnefs and patience highly cre ditable to them, and advantageous to the public fervice. Sir SIDNEY SMITH had originally the contmand of the feamen who landed from the fleet; he con tinued on Chore till after the capture of Rofetta, and returned on board, the TIGRE a thort time be fore the appearance of Admiral GANTHEAUME'S fquadron on the coaß. Hie was prefent in the three actions of the Bth, 13th, and sill of March, when he difplayed that ardour of„mind for the fervice of his country, and that noble intrepidity for which he has been ever fo confpicuous. Capt. STEVENSON of the EUROPA, fucceeded him, and I have every reafon to be fatisfied with his zeal and conduct. The crews of the gun-boats difplayed great gallantry, under his guidance, in the new inundation; and much approbation is alfo dire to the Naval Offieers who aged under his orders. Capt. PRESSLAND of the REGULU s has had the direr ion for many months pail of all Greek (hips in our employment, and thole belonging to the Commiffariot. He has been active, zealous, and indefatigable, and merits my warmeft approba tion. I mit(t therefore beg leave particularly to re commend this old and meritorious Officer to your Lordfhip's proteetion. Allow me to exprefs an humble hope ) that the army in Egypt have gratified the warmeft wi(hes and expeetations of their Country. To them every thing as dues and to me nothing. It was my fate to fucceed a man who created fuch a fpirit and eftablifhed fuch a difcipline among them,'that lit tle has been left for me to perform, except to follow his maxims, and to endeavour to imitate his con• duet. This Difpatch will be delivered to your Lord fhip by Colonel ABISRCROPASY, an Officer of con fiderable a'iillty; and worthy of the great name which he bears. He will one day, I truß, emu late the virtue and talents of his never fufficiently to be lamented father. I have the honour to be, &c. &c. &e. J. HELY Hurcimisois, Lieut. General. To the Rigid Hon.

Ca np, Weft of Alexandria, Atizu ft 23. Sir—Captain CocHRANE, with feven floops of war, having entered into the weitern harbour of Alexandria on the evening of the li ft instant, and .anchored on my left flank, I immediately deter mined to move forward, and take as advanced a pofition near the town of Alexandria as prudence and fecurity would permit. The neceffary arrangements having been made in the morning of the 22d, the troops advanced againft the enemy, who was flrongly potted upon a ridge of high hills, having his right flank fecur. ed by two heavy gulls, and his left by two batter ies containing three more, with many field pikes placed in the intervals of his line. The army moved through the land hills in three columns, the Guards forming two upon the right near the lake, and Major-General LUDLOW'S bri gade the third upon the left, having the ft bat talion of the 27th regiment in advance ; Major- General FINCH'S brigade compofed a referve, and was defined to give its rapport wherever it might be required. In this manner, having our field artillery with the advanced guard, the troops continued to move forward with the greatelk coolnefs and regularity under a very heavy fire of cannon and !'mall arms, forcing the enemy to retreat contiandy before them, and driving them to their prefent pofitiva within the walls of Alexandria. Major-Generals LUDLOW, Earl of CAVAN, and FINCH, upon this, as upon all other occalions, have given me all poffible fupport, and deferve every commendation for the precifion aad regularity with which they led on their refpative columns. The exertions of the Captains commanding the chips of war upon our left, and of the Officers commanding the gun boats upon our right, were attended with the bell effect ; their continued and unremitting fire kept the enemy in check. To Captain Coc HR AN I feel extremely obliged, for his zeal and conflant readinefs to afford every I :alliance in his power. Captain STEVENSON, who commanded the gun boats upon the lake, alto calls for my earnelt approbation of his condo& Permit me, Sir, to repeat to you the intrepid and gallant behaviour of the whole of the troops during the affair of yefterday, which tailed from fix until ten o'clock in the morning. Their bra very was only equalled by the cool and regular manner in Which they advanced under a fevere and heavy cannonade. Happy am Ito add that out lots is only trifling, when compared to the advantages we Lave gained, and the difficulties we had to furmount in a country, which, at every Rep, afforded the enemy the means of making the Molt delperate reliftance. The lofs of the enemy mull have been confider ably greater than ours. It is impoffible for me to afcertain the numbers. Seven pieces of heavy ord nance were left behind by the French in the hurry of their retreat, and have fallen into our hands.
