The veffels difpatched from France for Alexan dria, arrived there before our departure, being twelve in number, laden with balls and mufkets, and bringing good news. In regard to the army of Egypt, I can allure you, it is in good order, well clothed, well armed, and well paid; no epidemicald ifeafe has prevailed for a year pall ; the plague, laft year, occafioned very little ravage ; we have loft no more than ;so men by difeafe.

Alexandria is in a refpeaable Date of defence ; workmen were daily employed in the fortifications, and more than 4.00 pieces of cannon had been mounted. Aboukir is alto well fortified, and better than it ever was before. The fortifications of Cairo were daily increafing, on all the furrounding mountains, towers from which the foldiers can bring affiftance in cafe of need, and where they are fheltered from any fuddcn attack, have been built, and each little fort is fupplied with water and provifions. Da mietta is alto fecured againft any defigns of the enemy. In Upper Egypt we have been perfealy quiet luxe the treaty of peace concluded between General KIMILIt and MOVRAD Bey. The latter faithfully obferves the conditions of the treaty, and the belt underlianding prevails between him and General DowziLor, who commands in Upper Egypt. When we left Alexandria, the army were ex peeing that a landing would be attempted by the Englifh. But if fuch is their defign, they mull concert their meafures with great prudence, for they will find men ready to precis thcm. Our foldiers are fo well accuftomed to the climate that they march through the defarts better than the na tives. Our cavalry are well mounted, and our artillery is in the heft Rate. Be affured, C. Com miffioner, that our troops will be highly gratified to fee the Englifh near them t if they once land, they Bauer themfelves that they will not Puffer them to re-embark.
