COOSTANTINOPLI, MARCH 31r.. --The Englifh I Ambaffador here, Lord ELate, has now received from Admiral KllTlli . circurnfLuitial accounts of the landing of the Englifh in Egypt. The follow ing particulars have been made public :—The Englifh fleet arrived on the coati of Egypt on the ift of March; but, partly in confequence of contra ry winds, and partly on account of the necelfary delay in founding the coat, a debarkation did not take place for eight days. On the Bth of March, a landing was &II attempted by 3000 men, tin der General Moo& 1, at Aboukir, already render ed famous by the vi Cory of Admiral ?Ilium. - The French on this occalion gave the 1130 a dif tinguifhed proofs of courage and heroifin. Both infantry and cavalry roiled into the water to force back the Englith boats, which were covered by their gun boats. The Englifb, after two fevere attacks, having landed 6000 men, and afterwards the reit of their force, the French were obliged to retreat into the fort of Aboukir, which aill defended itfelf on the isth of March; the Englifh in the mean time ad vanced towards Alexandria, leaving a Corps of ;coo men to befiege Aboukir. The lots of the French on the landing of the Englifh is not known : their troops were, however, mach inferior in numbers; they confified of from 3 to 4000 men, which had been drawn from the garrifons of Alexandria, Rofetta, and Rbamanie. The lofs of the Englill is kid: to be 100 killed and Soo wounded. Among the latter are fome Officers of diflinaion ; Commodore Sir SIDIIIT SMITH, according to fome accounts, had a horfe killed under him. Colonel Paoli' difiingnithed himfelf by his bravery at the landing. Since the lath the march of the Englifh has been continually difforbed by attacks from the French. The latter are collestling their main force in an entrenched pofition near Pompey's Pillar, and expea the arrival of confiderable re-inforce. meats from France. There is in Alexandria a great quantity of Ar tMery, bat only of a (mall claire. Admiral EstT■ propores to bombard the city on the tea fide, trilOc General ABERCILOMIII attacks it by land. According to Tome accounts the C•PT•IN Pacts• has failed againa Damietta, bat accord ing to others he is Qip at Maui, and the GNAND Viziaa at Gaza, where he daily receives rele forcements. Up to the 14th of Hatch nothing vras known on the coat of Egypt of the arrival of Englifh troops from the Eat Indies, cc the caller fide of Egypt. Fears are entertained for the Englifh &ct, on account of the plague, which hat again broken out in Egypt, and in Syria Rill makes great ravages.

The English have not yet evacuated the Wand of Elba, but are determined, with the affitance of the inhabitants, to refill even foreign attacks. The French troops, who, by virtue of the fecret articles of the treaty of peace concluded at Florence, are to occupy a par: of the kingdom of Naples, are now in full march for that country. A part of the troops that had atembled at Ancora have taken the fame route. The embarkation which was to have taken place at Ancona, it is (aid. will now take place at Otranto and Brindifi.

Agreeably to the accounts which Lord MIXTO has received from Conftanti nople, the Captain Pacha has failed for Aboukir, with 6000 men, land troops. In the night of the aoth, a courier arrived here from Paris,with difpatches from Count Cos METZ it dated the t Ith, relating to the overtures for peace between France and England. This courier was likewife the bearer of the treaty of peace between France and Naples, the contents of which the (Iran of NAPLES had not been acquainted with before.
