The Emperor willies very much to prefervt there States for his own family, becaufe they Are very good etiablithments fur the younger Aufirian Archdukes. To oblige the Emperor, the French Government has promifed to endeavour to gratify his willies. Propofals have therefore been made to the Duke of BRUNSWICK, but of what fort thee are is not yet fully known ; it.is however reported, that the Cifalpine Republic is offered to him, with iefpett to which BONAPARTF. is (Aid to have ex preffed himfelf, " that all his good intentions for that country are frufirated, the people not' being qualified to fupport a Republic."

CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 4.—On the 17th of Anguft the fiege of Alexandria commenced in form. On that day General Coors advanced (after an attack had been made on the French gun-boats, two of which had been blown up, and two funk), along the lake Marcotis, to takc poll with his corps of sago men, at Marabou, which, he effeeted without any oppofition on tile part . of the garrifon of Alexandria. During this operation, the Englifh fquadron before Alexandria made a feigned attack on the city, while Gen. Sir J. HUTCHINSON attacked the outer entrenchments of the enemy, a part of which on what are called the Green Hills, was car ried by the Englifh with very little lots. On the 2t ft of July, the French garrifon of Cairo arrived at Rofetta, and its embarkation was concluded with fo much expedition, that the whole had already failed for France on the t 7th of Auguft. The number of French troops from Cairo, that were embarked, was 8000, among whom were 900 cavalry: they had with them 5o pieces of ar tillery. The remainder of the perfons included in the capitulation of Cairo amounted to above Soon men of various claffes.

General HUTC H IN. sox, after taking thefe and other pas, fummoned General MENOU to furrender, with the garrifon of Alexandria, prifoners of war, unlefs he would abide the confequence of a general 'affault by the three combined armies, of the Englifh, the Grand Vizier, and the Capitan Pafba. To this fum mons General MENOU returned a firm and Repub lican anfwer ; but, at length, found himfelf com pelled, by the difcontent of his garrifon, who had 101 l all hope of receiving fuccotit, to folicit an at miitice, in order to conclude an honourable con vention, the conditions of which we expert very loon. No Dilpatches have fur a long time arrived fo fpcedily from Egypt as tilde. SEMLIN, SEPT. difturbances at Bel grade are happily appealed, and the affair has un expeacdly taken a favourable turn for the Porte. Before the old JanifFarics had an opportunity of delivering up the fortrefs to Peesswea Oueou, a courier arrived at Belgrade from Conflantinople, with a declaration, by which the GRAND SEIGNIOR reftored the old Janiffaries to all their former privi leges. This gave fo much fatisfaFlion, that im mediately after its publication, the JanifTaries let the Pafha of Belgrade at liberty, fubmittcd to his orders, and returned to their allegiance to the GRAND SEIGNIOR. In confequence of this change, a great quantity of Turkilh goods have arrived here from Salonichi, which had been detained at Belgrade ; and to-morrow the commodities which have long lain here, on account of the troubles in Turkey, ss ill be forwarded to Belgrade, and thence to Contlantinople.
