Sea—l have the honour to inform you that, af ter the affair of the t 3th of March, the army took a pofition about four miles from Alexandria, hay. ing a Tandy plain on the front, the Tea on their right, and the Canal of Alexandria (at prefent dry) and the Lake of on their left. In this polition we remained without any material oc currence taking place till the 2 'ft of March, when the enemy attacked us with nearly the whole of their colleCted force, amounting probably to eleven pr twelve thoufand men. Of fourteen demi-bri gades of infantry, ' which the Deitch have in this country, twelve appearlo have bk s e engaged, and all their, cavalry. with the eiccppon of one regi- Orient. r+ The enemy Made the following difpolition of their army : General Laairssv was on their left, with four demi-brigades of infantry, and a confi derable body of cavalry, commanded by General Rome; Generals FRIANT and RAMPON were in the centre, with five demi , brigades; General REG mita on the right, withtwo demi-brigades and two regiments of cavalry ; General la com manded the advanced. guard, confilling of cne de mi-brigade, Tome light troops, and;stditachment of cavalry. .The action cornMenced about an hour before day-light, by a falfe-attack on our left, which was under Major General CRADDOCI'S command, siltere they were - loon repulfed. The moll vigor ous efforts of the enemy were however direEted againft our right, which they ufed every polfible exertion to turn. The attack on that point was begun 'with great iropetuofity by the French in fantry, fuftained by a Strong body of cavalry, who charged in column. -They were received by our troops with equal ardour, and the utmoll fteadinefs and difcipline. The conteft was unttfually obfU nate ; the enemy were twice repulfed, and their cavalry were repeatedly mixed with our infantry. They at length retired, leaving a prodigious num ber of dead and wounded on the field. While this was paling on the right, they at tempted to penetrate our centre with a column of infantry, who were alto repulfed, and obliged to retreat with lots. The French, during the whole of the action, refuted their right. They pufhed for ward, however, a corps of light troops, fupported by a body of infantry and cavalry, to keep our left in check, which certainly ivas, at that time, the weakeft part of our line. • , • We have taken about two hundred prifoners (not wounded) ; but it was impoffible to purfue our viaory, on account of our inferiority in cavalry, and becaufe the French had lined the oppofite hills with cannon, under which they retired. We alto have fuffered confiderably ; few more revere ac-1 tions have ever been fought, confidering the num bers engaged oa both fides. We have fuftained an irreparable lots in the perfon of our never fuffi ciently to be lamented Commander in Chief, Sir RALPH ADIRCROP4BY ' who was mortally wound ed in the anion , and died on the 28th of March. 'I believe he was wounded eady, but he concealed his fituation from thofe about him, and continued in the field, giving his orders with that coolnefs and perfpicuity which had ever marked his cha. railer, till long after the action was over, when he fainted through weaknefs and lots of blood. Were it permitted for a foldier to regret any one who has fallen in the fervice of his country, I might be ex cited for lamenting him, morethan any other per fon ; but it is Tome confolation to thofe who ten derly loved him, that as his life was honourable, fo was, his death glorious. His memory will be re corded in the annals of his country—willbe facred to every Britifh foldier, and embalmed in the re. collection of a grateful pofterity I It is impoffible for me to do juftice to the zeal of the officers and to the gallantry of the foldiers of this army. The referve, againft whom the prin cipal attack of the enemy was directed, condnaed themfelves with unexampled fpirit. They refilled the impetnofity of the French infantry, and re pulled feveral charges of cavalry. Major General Maoris was wounded at their head, though not dangeroufly. I regret, however, the temporary abfence from the army of this highly valuable and meritorious officer, whole counfer and co-operation would be fo highly neceffary to me at this moment. Brigadier-General OAELS was wounded nearly at the fame time, and the army has been deprived of the fervice of an excellent officer. The 28th and 42 . cl regiments ailed in the molt diftinguifhed and firiniant manner. Colonel PAOLI", an officer of I great promife, was wounded at the head of the former regiment; he has fence, though not quite recovered, returned to his duty. Brigadier-General STUART and the Foreign Brigade fupported the referve with much prompt nefs and (pint ; indeed it is but jultice to this corps to (Ay that they have, on all occafions, endeavoured to emulate the zeal and fpirit exhibited by the Bridal troops, and have perfealy fucceeded.— Major General LUDLOW deferves much approba tion for his conduit when the centre of the mrmy was attacked : under his guidance the Guards con cluded themfelves in the moll cool, intrepid, and foldier-like manner ; they received very effeaual fupport by a movement of the right of General Coors's brigade. Brigadier-General Hors was wounded in the hand; the army has been deprived of the twice of a moll *dive, zealous, and judi cioui ofircer. The lofs of the enemy has been great ; it is cal culated at upwards of three thoufand killed, wounded, and taken prifoners. General Rotas, who commanded the cavalry, which fuffered con. fideribiy; was killed in the field. Generals La. ItUSWI and Boorr are fine( dead of their wounds. I have been informed that feveral other General Officers, altar names I do ssot know, have been either killed of wounde,4* I cannot Conclude this letter, without folemaly Oaring yos, that, is the arduous coma in which we are at peektit en gag ed, his Majefty's troops in Egypt have faithfully difcharged their duty to their country, and nobly u ph e ld t h e f ame of the Britilh name and nation.

The Duet of ATNOL prefented a Report from their Lordfhips Committee, to whom fo much of his Majeay's Speech as related to the Scarcity of Provifions wits referred. The Report was read is the ufual .-ay by the.

That the bell and moil cffeaual mode of obviating the evils in one. tion, and preventing their recurrence in future, would be, to promote as far as polEble the culti. vation and improvement of Barren and Walk Lands, particularly of Bogs and Marfhy Grounds. The Report was ordered to lie on the Table. Lord tARRINOTOII then, after a few prlatory ohikrvations, prefented a Bill for providing for the inclofure and improvinient of certain Waite and Uncultivated Lands in England and Wales. without fpecial application' to Parliament in fucks cafes.—The Bill was forthwith read a firl time, ordered to be printed, and the Noble Lord by whom it was introduced, Rated his intention to move the fccond reading of the Bill on Monday. messacterama Tun ZINO.

Never, he Paid, had the valour and dila pline of the Britifh Army been more eminently difplayed than in the late contedk with the French army in Egypt. The mention of the name of General HUTCHIS sox led at once to the confide ration of an event highly to be deplored—the Death of General AZIRCROMST ; to the memory of whom he did not doubt every man capable of truly appreciating a military character would be eager to concur in paying every tribute of refpett and gratitude. SVIIIIDISS. Mr. Reason moved for an Account of thefeve. ral Sums of Money advanced by way of SubGdy or Loan to different Foreign States, with the In. terell received upob all fuch Loans. Mr. N. VANSITTAAT oaed, that no previous notice had been given of the motion. Mr. Jour* thought there was fo much inertial. eney in the praaice of the Houk relatiie to giv ing notice or not of motions for Papers, that be iltould take the fence of the Houfeupon the p refent • motion. The Sprout's obferved, it had fi s een'the pra' Rice of the Houk to give notice of any motion for Pa. pen to which an oppoGtion was erpeaed. Lord Howassa vat was of opinion when Papers were not to be granted ern matter.of.courfe, no. tics ought to be given of any motion for their pro• duainn, and that it was indecorous to take the Honk by furpriae. • Mr. GOT thought the doarine of them being an obligation to give notice before making a mo tion for a Piper was wholly new and unpailiamen uty. He thought every Member had a right to bring forward a motion for Papers without notice, and that a general practice to that effeCt would be produCtive of good in infuring the more coultaut attendance of Members. The CRAIICP LLOR of the Ercaloyea aid, he fhould be foiry to objet td" the dilation 'with the information he at prefent poirefed ripen die rub• jets but if the Hon.

There was no doubt that every Member hadir right to bring forward a motion without notice, but every Gene tieman mull be convinced that to exereife that right with arittnefs and aufterity, would beg:rive of eonfiderable inconvenience to the If the Hon. Member chat to withdraw the motion, and give notice of it fat a future day, and if he
