After our Paper was at prefs on Saturday, the Hamburgh mail due the preceding Wednefday arrived, and at the fame time Major MONTRISOII with difpatchcs from General Hurentsisom, an nouncing the capitulation of the French troops in Cairo. They were publifhed yetlerday in a Ga zette Extraordinary. There had been no attack on the place, and the very favourable terms grant ed to the enemy Phew that the Commander in Chief mull have had powerful motives for withing to avoid one. We hope the prefent capitulation be better ribferved than the Treaty of El Arifch. This important conquefl, which is rendered the more advantageous by being gained without blood filed, is undoubtedly the prelude to the expulfion of the French from Egypt. It is altogether a moll brilliant atchievement for the Britifh arms I In four months, a handful of troops, inferior in num bers to the enemy (who were in poffeffion and every where acknowledged), new to the climate, and ex poled to every fpecics of annoyance, have fucceed ed in the deliverance of a country, to the attainment f hich the CHIEF CONit/ c had bent all the talent. all the ambition of his foul, and upew which had lavithed the ftrengtb of the Republic. Yc fie rilay another Mail arrived from Mambo rgh zh.: contents of which, being principally details *cipeding Egypt, have been rendered unintere'- nag by the publication of General Ho rc HINSON'S l'fpatches The foreign articles by the Mails are barren of any flatements from which we can cone& 4ny probable iffue of the grand fyflem of indem nities, which at prefent engroffes the attention f: the Continent. Nothing indeed is faid on this l'thjeCt. In an article from Peterfburgh it is men. .ioned that DUROC, the French Miniller, having 'nmpletely failed in the obje& of his million we.. on the eve of returning to Paris. The fa cility with which Lord Sr. HF LEN'S concluded his negociation, mutt h.tve tended, in a very linking degree, to convince him that 'Britirh influence was founded too deeply, to be fhaken by any temporary projeds of advantage which he might have it in charge to propofe for the purpole of fecuring the good will of the Ruffian Court. It is Paid that an Englifh and Turkifh fqua dron has failed to enforce the tribute payable by the DEI , of ALGIERS to the PORTE. A hint is alfo thrown out of a fcheme which is in agitation to curtail the depredations of the Barbary Pirates, and indeed it is impoflible to think without aftonifhment of the outrages of which they have been guilty for a long period with comparative impunity, and without confidering their lawlefs plunder as a difgrace to all the civilized nations of Europe. The preparations along the Dutch and French coatis Rill continue, and their ofienfible object is defence again ft any attack from our fleet. No lefs than too,ooo men are Paid to be collected betwixt Dunkirk and Breft, but we believe this number is much exaggerated. In the courfe of yefterday, we alfo received Pa ris Journals to the zoth inft. inclufive. Though they were in porfeffion of our fira accounts refpec ting the fall of Cairo, they are full of accounts of the complete defeat of the Anglo-Turfyb army ! ! &c. &c. General Hu rc H INSON'S letter will loon put an end to the manufadure of French vidories in the Earl. The principal article in thefe journals is the official accountgiven by LAToucHETttkVILLE of the late attack on the veffels off the harbour of Boulogne. From the extravagant reprefentations in which the French are apt to indulge on the fubjeCt of naval aCtions, where, by any polllbility they think them felves intitled to claim the viaory, we expeCted to have met with a much more pompous defcription of the affair, and were a good deal furprifed to find In plain and fimple a narration of particulars. The French Admiral confines bimfelf merely to a short ftatement, which though in feveral inftances exag gerated, in order to place in a more confpicuous point of view the bravery of thole ferving under him, is generally contiftent with the liatements of our own commanders. He does not pretend to deny that our brave tars boarded their veffels with the utmoff intrepidity; and it is eary to colic& from his Rate ment that they were compelled to retire merely in confequence of the impraftieability of getting the (hips off, and the ftrong fire of mufquctry kept up on them from the troops. He denies, however, t hat a tingle (hot was fired from the land batteries . from a dread of wounding or killing their own men. The lofs we fußained in killed and wounded we know to be highly exaggerated:—be Rates it to be not lefs than four or five hundred men. The lots they themfelves fuffered is on the contrary dimini(hed to a degree which exceeds all belief. The ftatement of the affair is given without the fmalleft comment, either in the official Journal or in any other of the prints. We cannot pretend to account for a filence which is fo contrary to all their habits on fimilar occafons. The French, to be lure, in our laft attack upon Boulogne, had Come caufe for exultation : they are right, however, in adopting moderation on the occafion, as it is poffible their triumph may prove very fhort•lived ; for we learn by our letters from Deal this morning, that ADMIRAL LORD NELSON has again failed from the Downs with feveral gun. boats, bombs, &c. and of courfe we may foon ex ped to hear of his being on fome part of the ene my's coal. Government have learnt that feveral gun-boats have efcaped from Brell, probably bound fur Come other port on the French coal!. Notice of their efcape was laft night fent off to the different Port Admirals. _ .... `Thirty-fivegun-brigs and fchooners have efcaped from Dunkirk to Calais. Some of our cruizers, with a view to prevent their paffage, had moored clofe in chore, which the French obferving, and being favoured by a dark night, flood out to fea, and reached Calais in the morning, before our vef fels could get up with them. Circular letters have been fent to all Naval Of ficers to repair on board their refpcElive (hips im mediately. A fufficient force for tiv fir-tie/Nom of Madeira is immediately to be embarked for that Ifland. Tuefday the Right Rev. the LORD BISHOP of MEATH and family left Edinburgh on their way for Dublin. • Lord PALMA'S, with that humanity which adds lufire to his rank, and does honour to his namc, has ordered an enquiry to be made into the truth of certain rumours which have been circulating re f-peeling the provillons ferved out to the conviets on board the hulks in Portfmonth Harbour being un wholelome. Should there rumours prove to be at all well founded, there can be no doubt that the delinquents will be punilhed in an exemplary manner. 'Mr. CoNsoi.xr, by the death of his mother and the late Earl Sya•rroan, acquired a large pro- perry in• England, folic& to a legacy of to,oool. each to his three fillers, the Counters of Buck ' Lady Ass BYRD, and the Coun ters Howl. He has fince obtained leave to fell the eftates, giving fecurity for thefe legacies; and for one of them, the Bcdfordilaire elate, be was lately offered 5000nol. CORN MrlR K ETS.

A correfpondent from Farnham fays, 4 , the olden man living can fcarcely remember filch plentiful fhow of Hops a► there is at prefent in this town and neighbourhood. There is not the kali appearance of infeet, but health and plenty univerfally prevail in every g4rden without diflinc tion. The fruits of the earth, of every defcription, through the bleffing of PROVIDENCE, are, in this part of the ifland, in a fimilar (late of abundance and profperity. There will be near 8000 pickers wanted here this feafon. The picking commences in eight or ten days. The price of the gallon loaf here is, through the dif-iniereed management of one or two profefflonal men, 4td. higher than at Odiham." We are truly happy to Rate, that bread and every other neceffary of life continue falling in price throughout the country. At Newbury mar ket, on Thurfday, bread fell 6d. per gallon ; at Salifbury, on Saturday, tod. ; at Andover, 7d at Abingdon, 6d.: and from the abundant crops and fine weather, every kind of filftenance may be expefted to be yet confiderably lower.

Saturday a confiderable number of letters from the Cape of Good Hope and St. Helena, brought to England by the CAMBRIAN frigate, were de livered. By this medium we received letters frvm the Cape to the 26th of May, which Rate, that the number of troops fent from Bombay to co operate with the Britifh Army in Egypt amounted to near 8000 men.—Our letters from St. Helena are to the 24th of June, at which period the WINDNAM and LORD DUNCAN Indiamen had ar rived there from London. The following is taken from a New York paper of the agth of June:—" On the agth May, two frigates arrived at Port Liberty (Point i Petre) after a patrage of 24 days from L'Orient. having on board General LA CROFFE, Rear-Admiral, Captain-General of the Ifland, with the General of the Army and boo troops, and four millions of fpecie.
