One of thefe Ships, the HIGHLAND CHIEF, from Bengal, brings intelligence that the troops from India for Egypt entered the Red Sea on their way to Suez in December laft. Governor BROOK, from St. Helena, is among the paffingers by the HIGHLAND CHIEF. Governor Huarza alto is arrived from New South Wales. He came in the BUFFALO man of war, arrived at Portfmouth. A Letter from an Officer on board the CLEo. PATRA frigate, received by the CUMBERLAND Packet from Halifax, Rates, that the boats of that frigate, and thofe of the Asnaowacus, having attempted to cut out of the Bay of Levita, in the Eland of Cuba, Tome Spanifh merchant veffels richly laden, was. attacked by feveral gun-boats, one of which they fucceeded in taking, but their boats were nearly all deffroyed. Lieut. TAYLOR, Firft Lieutenant of the CLEOPATRA, and three feamen were killed, and fix wounded, and about fix killed and twelve wounded, belonging to the ANDRONACHS. The CLEOPATRA was alto very near being loft, having got on fhore on the Ifland of Abaco, (one of the Bahama Iflands,) where the remained for three days, but by very great exertions, and throwing her guns overboard, got off with very little damage. Accountshave been received in town from Lord WILLIAM BENTINCE at Venice, Rating that a re port had been received there, which was generally believed, of Sir JOHN Box LAss WAaitsm having , fallen in with Admiral CANTusAvms's fquadron, and after a running fight hating captured four fail of the line. This morning arrived the Hamburgh Mail, due yefterday. A number of vague Reports are found in fome of the letters, of adions having taken place in Egypt on the 19th and syth of March, which the date of the la( Dif patches prove to be unworthy of any notice. In deed the private letters from our Army come down two days later, and we know that fo late as the Bth of April, nothing further had happened. It appears, indeed, from tome of the private letters from the officers. that General HVTCHIN. sox fet out in perfon, on the 6th of April, to beat up the French quarters at Rahmanie, and to get polliffion of the navigation of the Nile. General COOTs was left in command before Alexandria; General Moots being Rill confined on board (hip with his wound. By deferters, General HurcHINSON learnt that% on the sad of March, ME wou had again attempt ed to bring his army again( the Britith, but that his men refuted to advance. He held a Council of War, in confequence, and it was agreed, that, in the then temper of his army, it would be impru dent to hazard an attack. This circumftance may have induced General MITCHINSON to proceed againfk the enemy on the 6th April, as above Rated. Lord Sr. Mises arrived at Copenhagen on be tofith inn. on his way to St. Peter(burgh. The following are the only articles worthy of notice brought by the Mail : STATE PAPER. Srocanotse, May B.—The following is the Im perial declaration, tmnfmitted to Admiral PARE la, Commander of the Britifh fleet in the Baltic : " By the d ceafe of his Majefly the Emperor Pam. I. of glorious memory, the fceptre of the Ruffian Empire has defcended, by right of birth. into the hands of his Imperial Malay Atman-' Dui. One of the fire events under the Govern ment of this Monarch, has been that be has at-. cepted the offer which the Britifh Court had made to his illuflrions predecefors, to terminate the di(. putts which threatened the fpeedy breaking out of a war, in the North of Europe. by an amicable Convention. Faithful to the engagements which he has entered into with the Courts of. Stockholm, Derlin, and Copenhagen, his Imperial Majelly . has fignified to them, his refolution not to aft but' in conjunEtion with his Allies, in whatever may concern the interefts of the Neutral Powers : His IMPERIAL MAJESTY could not have expetfted that the Britifh Court would have undertaken a hoftile attack upon Denmark, at the very time when its Envoy at Berlin was authorized anew to enter into conference with the Ruffian Minifler refiding there. The meafures taken by his , lstr mar. Me jssry were only a confequence of his with for peace and welfare, and to avoid a dettrative mif underftanding between the contending powers. —The ads of liana), again ft Denmark, and the arrival of an hoftile fleet would have fruftrated his MAJESTY'S with to preferve peace, had not this attack upon his Allies preceded the propofal made by , his MAJESTY to the Court of London. But as the Englith fleet had failed for the Sound be fore his MAJ ESTY afcended the throne,he will wait the meafures of the Britith Court, when it fhall be informed of that event. " The underfigned General of Cavalry, and Mi niaer of State for Foreign Affairs, requires there_ fore, in the name of his Illuflrious Sovereign, that the Admiral in Chief of the fleet of hisßorranatc MAJESTY fhall defift from all further hoftilities againft the flags of the three United Powers, till his Excellency fhall have received further direc• tions from his Sovereign ; otherwife, the Admi ral muff be perfonally refponfible for the conic quences that may enfue from the profccution of the war. Though prepared to repel force by force, his IMPERIAL MAJESTY perfifts in his pacific fen. timents; but the juftice and moderation of the Ca- binet of London mull enable him to reconcile the demands of humanity, with the duties which he owes to his crown, and the interells of his Allies.
