NMI INTELLIGENCE FROM EGYPT. The Foreign Journals continue to give currency . to idle rumours refpeiling a force from India fent up the Red Sea, to affift in the expnlfion of the French from Egypt. No perfon of information gives much credit to reports concerning any fuch expedition. Letters from Vienna (late, what is much uto re likely to be confirmed, that there has been ANOTHER BATTLE ; t1 Egypt, which took place near Rbamanie, on th e 9th of May. The accounts by the Mail Rate, that the French force, amounting to 2000 men, was entrenched near Rhamanie ; that they were attacked on the 9th ult. by the Englifh and Turks, and driven from thence with the lofs of zoo prifoners ; and that they retired to-Cairo after their defeat. Now we were informed by Lord Ecolit's letter, publifhed in the Gazette Extraordinary, of the sth init. that General HUTCHINSON was to transfer his head-quarters to Rofetta, on the 23d of April. ; and was immediately after to proceed with 4000 Britifh, and nearly an equal number of the Captain PAC KA'S troopc againft Rhaznanie, where the French were nnderftood to bave affembledalNut 3000 men. It is therefore very probable that an anion would take place, on or about the 9th of May, which al. lows ample time to proceed thence from Rofetta, and for thofe operations which might be neceffary previous to the battle. We are not, however, left to vague conjeflure on this point, for Mr. Sewer, a hing's Meffenger, ;who arrived laft night, has brought Lem s from Lord ELGIN at Conftantinople, dated the 23d of May, which mention difpatches having been re. ceived from the Captain Pacha, containing an ac_ Count thit a battle had been fought on the 9th, in which the French were defeated ; ghat they had in confequence retreated to Cairo; and that the Allies had taken poffeffion of Rharnanie on the loth. A Gazette Extraordinary will be publifbed this evening with fuch particulars as ha're been receiv ed by Government. We are happy to add, that Lord Eta:it's let ters mention the arrival at Aboukir of a reinforce inent of 3000 troops to the Britifh army. We may therefore loon expea to hear fomething decifive ' of the fate of Egypt. PAsswar OoLou again occupies a part of the at tention of the PORTE. Have the French any hand it flirring up this Chief to ads of rebellion, with the view of dividing the Turkifh force Every thing worthy of notice by the Mails is de tailed in the preceding columns.

Letters from Port Mahon mention, that the Expedition fitting out at Carthagena was fuppokd to be deilined againft that ifland, tome correfpondence between a French Emitrary and do Governor of Majorca, exprelfive of fuch a pro. • joft, having been intercepted.
