Plfpatelses, of which the fallowing arc Copies, have been this day received at the Once of the Right Hon. Lord HAMER'. BOAT, his Majefty's Principal Secretary of State for Fordim Affairs,from the Earl of EAO$l4 and Major Hozzowa v. Impala Ottoman Camp of the Grand Vizier, Mr Loan, Bessalhaffer, May so, I had the honour of addreffing your Lordfhip on the ad of May from Salahich, which place his Highnefs the Grand Vizier left the 7th, and the following day arrived at Belbeis, where the ad vanced corps of his army had been encamped for ['owe time before. Qn the uth infant his Highnefs received intel ligence that the enemy had early that morning snarched a confiderable force from Cairo, on the road towards Belbeis, where his Highnefs was then encamped. In the evening a further confirmation of this intelligence was brought, when the enemy was in full march. The Vizier, after dark, or dered Tahir Pacha, with three thoufand cavalry, and three light field-pieces, to advance to meet them, and if a favourable opportunity offered during the obfcurity of the night, to attack, if not, to impede their progrefs as much as poffible.— About ten o'clock at night they met, 3 leagues from camp, when each halted, and lay on their arms during the night, and until eight o'clock in the morning, at which time Tahir Pacha com menced an attack. He was foon after reinforced by fifteen hundred cavalry. It was now found the enemy had come forward with about fourteen pieces of artillery, fix hundred cavalry, and four thoufand infantry. His Highnefs therefore ordered Mehemmed Pacha to move forward with five thou land men, cavalry, and Albanian infantry, and nine light field pieces; the enemy had eight-poun ders in the field. His Highnefs afterwards ad vamped himfelf, and took the command, which was attended with the happiea effeft. The enemy moved intm a wood of date trees, where they were attacked by the cavalry and in fantry with great fpirit for three hours, when the enemy retired from the wood, taking potation on the plain, their left to the wood, and forming a hollow fquare on the right. The Albanian infan try advanced to the edge of the wood, and in this fituation galled them confideribly ; and upon the Turkifh cavalry threatening their right, they changed pofition, and attempted. to gain the heights, in which they were prevented by a rapid movement of cavalry, who gained the fummit.— In this manoeuvre they were annoyed by two gun;, which were advanced by his Highnefs on the oe c.ifion. At this time the French commenced a de cided retreat, and were driven beyond El Hanka, a diflance not lefs than feven miles from the place of the fir(! operations. The Grand Vizier, who hid commanded his troops with great gallantry and prompt decifion, then rave orders for them not to purfue any further. The lots on either fide, for the time they were cite -aged, was finall. The Turks had about thirty killed and eighty - wounded. Fiench, I think, ILA ab o ut fifty killed anal cri,e prifoner ; the ntimh,:r of "lair wounded con!

This intention he car ried into effeet on the 6th, by ordering Ibrahim Pacha, with two thoufand five hundred men, and five picces of artillery, to march immediately for that purpofe ; and it appears by Ibrahim Pacha's report to the Vizier, that every arrangement had been made for the attack of Fort Leibie on the morning of the t4th itiftant, when it was dif covered that the Fort was evacuated, and the gar . rifon had retired. - - I beg leave to inform your Lordthip, that dur , ing the aition of the 16th inftant, myfelf and Ma jor HOPE of the Royal Artillery, were in the field with the Grand Vizier, Captain LACY, of the Royal Engineers, with Mehemmed Pacha, and Cap tain LEAILE, of the Royal Artillery, with Tahir Pacha, to render every afliftance in our power. The combined forces under Mtjor.General H T CH IN SON and the CAPITAN PACHA, are about five hours diftance in the Delta, but are expeeted here 'in a day or two. I received a letter from the Ge neral this morning, who informs me, he has taken a convoy of five hundred and fifty camels, and fix hundred French prifoners. I have the honour to be, &c.

I have the molt fincere fatisfadion in forwarding to your Lorcifhip the inclofed difpatch from Lieu. tenant-Colonel Hoz LOWA Y. The modeft and unaffuming . manner in which this deferving Officer has mentioned himfelf and the Britifir under his orders, impofes upon me the obligation of Rating to your Lordfhip what I had learnt by their private communications to me from Jaffa and Gaza: that as loon as the determination was formed for the Vizier to advance into Egypt, Lieutenant-Colonel Hozzoway propofed that dif tribution of the Turkifh army, and that order of march, which have effeetually enfnred this un looked for fuccefs over the French. The advanced guard was compofed of a Idea body of cavalry, under Tahir Pacha, and of Albanian infantry un der Mehemet Pacha ; the firft, accompanied by Capt. LEAKY, the fecond by Captain La c sv, each receiving their orders from Colonel HOLLOWAY, who remained near the perfon of the Vizier. It is by this well-combined difpofition, by the endeavours which were ftrenuoufly ezercifed to prevail upon this corps to difembarrafs themfelves of their fuperfluous attendants, and by giving con fidence to the Turks in their own means, that Co lonel Hozzoway has been enabled to bring thefe troops to keep in check, during many hours, a French Army of superior force—to counteraa its plans—to attack it—to feize every advantage of its pinions and of ground, and, after manoeu vring with fcitnce, during (even hours, to repulfe it with lots, and gain a complete viaory. In the account which the Vizier has fent of this anion to the Porte, Ws Highnefs (peaks in the higheft terms of the fervice done by the artillery, Which Major Hots is well known to be fo very capable of direeing.

Lord HOBART. one of his Majelty's Prindpal Secretaries of State, frees Lieut. General the Hon. Sir Joon Haar Hirrcentson, /LB. tionuaandlog hie Majeity's Forms in Egypt. Head.fteirters, Camp, near Alkam, My LORD, Jane 1, iSoi. I have the honour to inform your Lordihip, that the French abandoned the pofition of El-Aft, on the .7th of May, which w e occupied the fame even ing, and on the 9th we advanced to Rahmanich, where the French were potted with upwards of three thoufand infantry, and eight hundred caval ry. We at firft imagined that they might have ' endeavoured to have maintained that pofition, but our corps on the eaßeni bank of the Nile having got into their rear, took the fort'of Rahmanich in reverfe, which probably induced the enemy to re tire in the night between the 9th and loth, leaving a garrifon in the fort, which furrendered in the morning, amounting to t to men, commanded by a Chef de Brigade ; we alto took the fame day about fifty cavalry and three officers coming from Alexandria. As the enemy retired towards Cairo, it became necelffiry to follow them, in order to co ver the army of the Grand Vizier, and to fecure a junaion with the expeaed reinforcements from India. --- Nothing happened of any importance until the t4th, when we fell in with a valuable convoy of germs on the Nile. They had come from Cairo down the Canal of Menouff, which joins the Da. mietta and Rofetta branches of the river. From ' this eitcumftance they knew nothing of the retreat of General L♦ GRANO! from Rahmanich. About one hundred and fifty prifoners fell into our hands and feveral heavy guns, fome of them intended for the defence of Alexandria. The convoy itfelf was very valuable, and is a great lots to the ene. my. We found on board all kinds of clothing, wine, fpitits, &c. and about five thoufand pounds in money. On the 7th, when encamped at Alkam, we were informed by the Arabs that a confiderable body of French, coming from Alexandria, were advancing towards the Nile, near the fpot where the boats of the Capitan Paella then were. The cavalry were immediately ordered nut, with two pieces cf cannon, under the command of Briga dier General Dor, xr, fupported by his brigade of infantry. Cblonel CAVALIIIL, who commanded the French convoy, an loon as lie perccivi.d the beats (.t . the Capitan Pacha, fufpeeted that our army rutill be near, and tbet:loic retired into the derail, 'where we ftbilOWCJ him. Tlic cavalry came up with him, a:tc: a march of about three hours. A flag of truce was fent inio them by Major " Witsow of the Hompefch, requiring them to fur render, on condition that their private property fhould be refpefted, and that they fhould be fern to France by the firft convenient opportunity. With there terms they complied, and laid down their arms. They amounted, in all, to about 600 men, infantry, cavalry, and artillery, together with a confiderable portion of the dromedary corps, one four-pounder, and 550 camels. The prifoners taken are all Frenchmen, and of the belt troops they had in Egypt. On the 17th of May the enemy retired from the Fort of Lifbet, on the Damietta Branch, and formed a junftion with about two hundred men which they had at Burlos ; this fort they alfo eva cuated, and embarked in five fmall retie's, four of which have been taken and carried into Aboukir Bay ; the fifth endeavoured to efcape towards 'Cyprus, but a Turk& frigate was left in chase of her, fo that it is more than probable fhe has fhared the fame fate. The garrifons of the two forts confifted of about feven hundred men; fo that in all we have taken, from the gth to the zoth, near fixteen hundred men, which makes a confiderable diminution of the enemy's force in this country. The French made a molt extraordinary rapid march from Rahmanich to Gizah, where they ar- rived on the 13th, and immediately crofTed the river to Boulac. - - • • -- - - On the 15th, they marched to attack the Grand Vizier's army. His Highnefs anticipated their intention, and made a forward moverhent aith a confiderable body of cavalry on the night between the 15th and t 6th. The armies remained for Tome hours in the prefence ot each other, when the Ot toman troops attacked at about eight o'clock in the morning, and after an anion of feven hours the French retired, having loft between three and four hundred men killed and wounded. They were nearly the fame people who had retreated from Rahmanich, and were about four thoufand or four thoufand five hundred n3en. -- I congratulate your Lord(hip upon the event of this very important action; I have alfo much pleafure in informing you, that the Mamalukes, under the orders of Orman Bey, (fucceffor of Mu rad Bey,) have joined us, to the amount of about fifteen hundred cavalry, inferior, certainly, to none in the world. lam fanguine enough to hope that the moll ferious good effeas will arife from this junaion, as they have a mot intimate'knowledge of the country, and the greateft influence amongft the inhabitants.

Lei. 951 1 India Stock 49 The Mail of yellerday brought difpatches to • Government from Egypt, which were !aft night publifhed in a Gazette Extraordinary. As we fufpeited, when we obferved the route of the Mef finger noticed in uur Vienna letters, they relate to the events communicated to the public befpre in Lord ELoin's brief notices. Thefe difpatches, however, are of confiderable importance, as they contain full and istelfgia details of thole military events with which wewere before butlittle acquaint ed, and will enable any perfan to forinpretty cor reit ideas of the pmgrefs we have made in the cun• quell of Egypt, and the enemy's means of furthe• refillauce. It teems to have been fortunate for the Tu, its that tome of our Officers had joined them, and given them a little (kill in European tallies. The Moniteur informed us, that Generals BEL LIARD and L♦ GRANGE were to attack the VIZIER on the 18th, and that after beating him they were to re turn to reinforce MENOU at Alexandria. But this attack, which was anticipated as a viElory, has proved a defeat. The French, fo far from driv ing the Viz int acrofs the Defart; return to Cairo baffled and patted by an enemy they defpifed. Far from reinforcing Mown, there is very little pa pal of their defending themfelves in Cairo againit the combined forces under General HUTCH::: Ci'! , and the CAPTAIN PASHA, and the GRAND VI Z I EP.. They were between four and five thoufand, and we imagine few were left behind at Cairo. To add to their embarraffment.s, Mov RAD BEM's fucceffor, OSMAN Bev, has joined . us with fifteen hundred excellent cavalry, who muff be of great fervice, both from their knowledge of the country and their influence with the inhabitants. The French, therefore, muff fpeedily be infnlated at Cairo and Alexandria. They cannot any longer keep up their communications, when they cannot (pare divifions of troops, when a fuperior cavalry fcours the country, and when the natives. are hof tile to them. The fuperiority of force which we now fo clearly pofiefs will Coon be further encrea fed by the arrival of the Indian army. Colonel Mut. RAY, with the &it divifion, has arrived. at Coffeir, in Upper Egypt, and General BAIRD is Coon peEted with the fecond. The numbers are not Coffeir is a confiderable dillance, no doubt, from General Hurcrinisom's potation, bat the French can have no detachments there t and if Mv RAD BEY'S fucceffor has brought over all the partifans of that Chief, oar reinforcements will have little difficulty in dialing their pmEtion with the main army.
