NAMBURG If .11.1 IL. -- CONSTANTINOPLF MARCH 25.-01Acialdifpatches have been received f rom Egypt of the date of Febru ary 25, which hate that a few days before, a battle had taken place between the Turks atid the Mame lukes army, in which the latter gained the viaory, in eonfequence of which Hourfchid Pafha, Governor of Egypt, was under the ncccfflty of contenting to a capitulation with the Boys, with refpeift to Cairo. Romelia is again in a dillurbed (fate. The difcon tents in Cyprus have been happily quelled. Ifmael Parka, the new Ufurper of Acre, who had feized on and approprived to himfelf the treafures of Dgez sar Pafha, has been delivered up by his own troops, and his head fent to Conflatitinople.

HAGUE, APRIL 23.—The 48th French regiment which was fent to the I(land of Nieud Bevelaud, had Icarcely difembarked when they occupied all the coaft, and furrounded the whole ifland ; after which, an order was fent to all the authorities of the towns and villages to repair to Goes, where General MON NET notified to them that they aloft, under pain of military execution, deliver up, within 24 hourr, all foreigners refiding in the different parithes of the ifland. By this means he feized a number of young men who hid fled from Brahant on account of the military confcription, all of whom were fent to Fluffing.

LE'S name from the Lilt of Privy Councillors, it was for the prefcnt withdrawn. Lord Gil ENVIL LI yerlerday declared his intention In the Houfe of Lords to bring forward the Catholic Q2eflion on Friday. An overland difpatch was yeflerday received at the India Route. The letters by this conveyance are not of a later date than thofe which had previnufly arrived ; but they afford the belt, founded hopes that the war in that quarter will fhortly be brought to a molt favourable termination. The Mary, MITCHELL, from Berbice, is arrived at Liverpool : the failed from Barbadoes on the 26th March, in company with the Venerable, (arrived at Liverpool) and isthe brig that was fpoke with by the Ontario, from New York : as Rated yeflerday, the had a Me&nger on board with diipatches who was landed at Kinfale. Yeflerday Major GWYNN arrived at Lord Camden's office with difpatches from the Leeward Hands, con taining the particulars of the recent operations of the enemy's fquadron in that quarter. They confirm what we have already flared of the fafe arrival of the Cork fleet, under convoy of the Nos 'Lyre. On board of this fleet were 3coo troops, taco of which .were landed at Barbadoes, and the remainder difiri butcd among the other Wands, which are now confr• '' tiered as in a great meafurc fafe from any ferious danger. It is reported, that Government have alfo received accounts of the fafe arrival of Admiral COCHRAN/. This report kerns probable from the time that has elapfed fince he failed. If fo, we may foonexped tohear of the enemy experiencing a fudden reverfe of fortune In that quarter, unlefs, indeed, the combined French and Spanifh fleets are gone to the Well Indies, which is believed by many, and which teems probable from the expedation of reinforcements from Europe, an nounced by the French fquadron, that has already caufed fo much alarm in that quarter. The accounts from North America have echoed the fame expecta tion, and have named Toulon as the port whence the force was to fail—the very port whence this force has proceeded. Some however, think that the Brazils, and not the Weft Indies is the objeCt of the combined armament, and many plaulible arguments are offered in fupport of this opinion. Others confider Ireland as the in tended point of attack.—But all is mere conjedure— nothing is certainly known of their real defign. Government have alfo received difpatches from the Mediterranean, brought by the &pH Ls, of t 6 guns, Capt. RozENHAGVN. Their contents have not tranfpired, but it is not believed that they confirm the report of Lord Nstsow having gone to Alexan• dria in quell of the French Beet, and we hope foon to hear fatisfadory accounts of his Lordfhip's move. penis. We ttatcd jefterday that accounts lad been re• teived of Sir Jonw Oana's rquaartm having joined the Channel fleet on the 3oth ult. This news may be relied on. The Canada Tranfport, N 0.116, Capt.DAVI3, with Troops, being one of the (hips which failed with the Qlleen and Dragon, from Portfmouth, has arrived at Falmouth ; 14 parted with them on the z4th ultimo in a gale, and on the 27th (poke Sir JOHN INDS'S Squadron (5 fail of the line). Sir JOHN ordered the CANADA for England, with an account of the Toulon fleet having got into Cadiz. Sir J. OROS'S Squadron was then on their way to join the Channel fleet, and the CANADA kept fight of them until the 29th ultimo, on which day they fell in with the outward hono(' Weft India fleetoinder convoy of the NARCISSUS frir gate, all well. The FRISK cutter left Admiral Lord GARDNER on his Ration lark Thurfday. It is confidently ftated that Sir Joins ORDE raw fix more line of battle (hips enter Cadiz loon after the arrival of the Toulon fleet. They were fuppofed to be the French fiptadron which had been lying at Carthagena. If the ftatement be correit, the whole of the force at Cadiz mutt have exceeded, thirty fail of the line. The Br:ft fleet have made feveral recent attempts to get out, and their number ready for aftual fervice is calculatedat twenty one fail of the line. The DIADEM, of 64 guns, Cap tain O'BRIEN, arrived on Friday at Portfmouth from the Channel fleet ; on her paffage up Channel (poke the MARS, MINOTAUR, and ILLUSTRIOUS, which had failed from that port yenerday fe'nnight. They have no doubt long before this joined Lord GARDNER.— Every potib►: exertion is making for the inereafe of our naval force with all poflible fpeed ; every large veffel is to be got ready for fervice, difpenfing with the ufual tontine of repair. A tumour was circulated yefierday, that the Ex pedition under Sir James Cams had been captured by the Enemy. The report is by no means probable, for the French fleet left Cadiz on the loth ult. and the Qyzza and DRAGON palled Falmouth nn the 23d following, fo that there was hardly a poesility of th it falling in with each other. We heard yeflerday of an attempt having been lately made to burn the King of France, the Duke of Aucooxame. and other members of the Bourbon Family, in the Cattle of Mittau. We could not cre dit loch an atrocious tranfaetion : we find it how ever Rated in a late received by the Hamburgh Mail, which wefubjoin: Other articles by the Mail are given in another part of this paper. MITTALT, APRIL B.—" Yeßerday a fire broke out about two o'clock in the morning, in the wing of the caflle principally inhabited by the General of Artil lery and a battalion under his command. In a (hors time the flames had made loch progrefs that affiftance was nearly ufelefs. If the wind had blown from the well the entire cattle would have been a prey to the flames. Meas. the Governor, the Deputy Governor, and the Members of the adminillration, (hewed them felves every where with the ffreatet zeal, as well as the officers of the troops. their fir( care was to clear away a magazine of powder, the proximity of which was very dangerous. 4 party wall, which feparated the molt elevated part of the wing that was on fire, and which kept back the flames, happi ly arrefled their progrefs, by facilitatitg the adior, of the engines. , 6 The Count de Latte, who had awoke at the fiat beat of the drum, remained the wholx night on his feet, furrounded by his Highnefs the Duke d'ANGOU• LEME and the Officers of hts (trite. Fortunately, the gout, which had derreafed, did not prevent his walk ing about and giving the necelfat y orders. " About 5 o'clock in the morning, at the moment when every petfon was bufy in flopping or examining the progrefs of tlh: principal fire, a lnoke was per• ceived iiruing from the extremity of the wing that was on fire, precifely at the angle which joined this wing to the body of the Cattle. On entering a final' detached chamber they found, under a large camp bed, a heap of ftnall billets of wood and ligh ted - rags on the 'Lot.. The hoards and part of the bedflead were already on fire, and in a moment the flames , would hate become general. " This morning, Aptil 8, (make was perceived over the apartments occupied by the Count de Litt E, which are fituated oppofite to the wing that has been burnt. The Chief of Police, and many others, hav ing gone into the garrets, found there, netr the fire place, an earthen pot, with the remains of fame char coal, burned rags, and the floor on fire ; fortunate ly they were able to extinguith it. 4‘ Mellis. the Governor D'Aasertrxw, and the Commander of the Battalion of Futiliers, with one of the principal officers attached to the Count de LI tut, were witnefres to the new attempt, as they were alto to the preceding one. Unboubred proof has been given of thefe fans by the Governor General Count de BUXHOWDPN, who, at the firtt news of the difatler, went from Riga to Mittau. He examined every thing himfelf, and gave with the greates activity the neCell'ary or. ders for the fafety of the Cattle, where every thing is now quiet. The fire (fill burns, but only among the rubbi(h. Only one man 101 l his life. The Comman der of the Futileers received a wound on his head.— Many workmen ate alto wounded." Mr. PITT was examined yefierday before the Seidl Committee If the Hrufe of Commons. Mr. TROTTER, Mr. WiLson, and Mr. TWEEDY, were yellerday examined before the Seled Committee of the Houfe of Commons. Judge Jonasol. attended on Wednefday hat in the Chamber of the Court of Common Pleas, Dublin, and, after fume converfation between the PRIME SEEiPANT and Mr. CURRAN, Friday was appointed for hearing arguments on the cafe.

REIGATI, APRIL 23.—Two cafes of confideratle intereft, and which occupied much time, came on to be heard at this legion. They were motions on the part of Captain Villebois and Lieutenant Knightley, of the lath Dragoons, to enter appeals on conviftinns pronounced againil them on the Bth of January by the Magiftrates of the Guildford Bench, for re futing to give their names and places of abode, when demanded by a certificated man, who met them (port ing in that neighbourhood shortly after their being Itationed in the barracks near Guildford. The cit.. cunthances of the cafes are nearly as follows : Thefe convictions have been pronounced on the Bth January (which was previous to the commencement of the felfion holden in that month), but had not been lodged with the Clerk of the Peace till after the jaf nuary feffion had elapfed. It appeared by the teftimony of the appelhfnt, Lieutenant• Colonel Hawker, and other witnelfe,, , t 1 a; the perfons employed to terve the fummimes merely read the contents, without leaving copies; that lie had been asked by Lieutenant Knilitley to leave ' a copy, and refuted it, and had fummoned Capt•fir: Villebois only whilft at:ending the Bench, as a wittiefs for the Lieutenant, after which the Captain's telli enony was related, as a party implicated in the fame tranfaCtion. Both the Captain and the Lieutenant were convided ; one of them in a mitigated penairy of pl. the other in the full penalty of Sol. and paid down the money under an imprcffion that they had ao power of appeal, or means of redrefs. At this time the officers had not any legal affiftance Lieu tenant Knightley having applied in vain to all the So licitors at Guildford, and even fent over to Godal ming for the parpole of procuring the attendance of tome profeflional Gentleman at the bearing. This eircumftance, however, was not communicated to the Bench ; nor was any application made for an ad journment upon that account. A few days afterwards the Officers applied to the Clerk of the Bench, and to one of the Juflices who had been prefent, and who ultimately figned the con viCtions, for copies of the proceedings. Each declined giving the required copies, without the concurrence of the Magifttates compofing the Bench, who, beitig confulted at their next meeting, refufed them; and itl the mean time the January feffion had expired. The application being afterwards repeated by the Selicitot for the Officers, with an avowed intention of appear ing, the 41:vie:tin* Magiftrate furnifhed the names of tire paities whom it might be neceffary to terve with notices, drew up the convietions in form; and return: cd them before the prelim legion. ' It izas infifted, in fupport of the motions, that ups der thefe circumftances, the prefent feffion we, th 4 next pogible one to which the Officers could appear, efpecially as from the want of a' regular tunitnotil, they had no cpportunity of knowing till after the laft legion who the informer Was,' or - which, of abdttt eight idagiftrates piefent at the hearing, had joctivil dually received the complaints, and put bit name to the conVidions, fo is to hive fared them with th 4 requifite notices of ippeat. • In the courfe of the inqairy at the Seffion it appear. ed that the informations had been laid in the mate of an opulent fanner, on which account the conviltiona Were infupportible in point of law, as by a claufe la an Aft of the left Seffion df Parliament; the profecti tion at offences againft any Stamp AR was confined to the Officers of the Crown, or of the Stainp'Do t ties ; it alto came out towards theelofe of the hvt: dente; that each of the Officers had regularly taken; out his game certificate before the latt frirting lea. fon commenced (fo that there could hive been no in. tension of evading the tix), and that the alledged refnial to produce the certificates was in effect an al. tercation between them and' fome qualified harmers, who interrupted the officers' fport, and threatened to take up the game they might kill. ' On' the afcertainment of theft latter circomftances, the Counfel for the convifting'Magiflrate and the pro fecutor laid they were authoriud by-their clients (Who were prefent,) to state that it was not the with of either Of them to retain convilliAns or penalties which had been awarded under a repealed jurifdietioni and under a' mirconteived idea that' tit( officers had no certificates to produce ; 'they would therefore nti further refill the entry of 'the appeals, and if thy Court thought itfelf comr etent to receive them, would content to their being entered ; and they admitted that if the appeals were received, the cos vidion Inuft unavisidablz be (loathed upon the gfound of Ad'of Parnament, and that the penalties would con fequently be returned. The Connie] for'the Appellants expreffed his fatil fadion at a termination nfthe hufinefs fti much to tier honour of the - officers he reprefented, who confidered the revcrfal of the - convietions•as an objets of lefs im portance to them than the public vindication of their conduft, and the cbrveßion of an erroneous impreffion le their difadvantage, which had thus openly takets place. • - •.• The Court then admitted the appeals to be entered, 110 dirated thecomilftiost to be quathed. • • NIW-MARILIT SPRINO MiTttta —Lod weck the old bet of two to one was again tbeived with great eagerncfs that Hosasaii will (hare or fell the two Thirty Thoufand Pounds in the prefent Spring Lot tery, which begins drawing next' Monday.—The party betting are fully confident of winning. _ Taa THOUSAND POUNDS - for the Firt grime Ticker, next Monday, will be a pretty lireakf.tti ;•-••• and as the Capital Prizes in this Scheme are th thick, it is not improbable but a Twenty or a Thirty Thoufand may come up time enough for Dinne: : in fait, there are capital prizes enough fir Thief Meals a•day, during the whole of the drawing.
