" I have the pletfure to inform you that we ar rived lifter a pottage of (even days froth Marino , rice, to„our deftid.tion in the Bay, of Aboukir. The weather which proved very teinpeftuous &- ring our paalge, and which caufed the total lots of-all the Turkifh gun-boats, did not ceafe to blowfor fevewal. days after our arrival in the fore mentioned harboqt. to counterata, our projeas, and to thwart ill it 41 our undertakings. It was not, in (aft, till the expiration °Oven days after the fleet had come to an anchor, .that the army was able to efeft a landing. The delay occafioned by this unforefeen violence of the elements, was as propitious to the enemy as it proved difaftrous to us; for, in the firft place, it afforded them time to concentrate their force, in i very ftrong pofition, which it became neceflary for ourarmy to di(lodge them from, before we could approach on the fide of Alexandria : Next it gate item . the means and opportunity of penetrating our plans, and of very much • incgaling ;be &midi of their po fi tion by all the works oft .svhioh the, military genius and long experiencepf the French hod fo well taught them to execute. The weather ;proving more mo derate on the 7th, it was determined by the two Commanders in Chief that, on the following day, an attempt thoukl be made to difembark the troops. A iky rocket thrown up on the enfuing night from the Admiral's thin was all the fignal that was made for the execution of tht above inter prize. The Referve, under Major-General Moons, the Brigade of Guards, under Major-GeneralLuo- Low, and the firft brigide of the Line, undri Ma jor-General Coors, were the troops appointed to make good the flrft landing. Thefe troops were all put on board the flat-bottomed- boats by two o'clock in the morning of the Bth. They were fa voured by a very bright moon, and very mode rate weather, but owing to the diftance they had to row, (the fleet having dropt their anchors at fix miles from the fhore) it was near day-light before the whole of the boats could reach the Mondovi brig, which was the vet el appointed for their ren dezvous. A great deal of time was loft in dreffing the boats, and in ringing them agreeable td the General's views and order of landing. Having ac complithed the necefary arrangement, the boats proceededonre more towards the !lore, which they reached within fomething Mort of the- diftgirce of a mile, when they were fainted with the mOftiitful and terrible (bower of bombs and round, and af terwards of . grape-fhot, I ever remember to have before experienced. Three boats,each containing fifty men, were funk within an hundred yards pi' the land : Many of them were Paved, but all the wounded inevitably perifhed. This pain ful fight lofted during a full half hour, and it is with forroW I am obliged to add, that num bers of brave men fell viauns both to the fury of the elements,as well as to the enemy's fire. It was under thii dell naive cannonade that she troops before mentioned effeited their landing. The line Was immediately formed, with as much precifion as ctrcuintbuices, and the labour we had to un dergo, would permit. A charge was then order ed to be made at eve{ y point, and in front of all the enemy's heights.- You will no doubt hear with. pleafure, that the moll glorious fuceefs crowned thisialotoussichievementrif the troops.

Thefe °Uncles to our future progrefs being all formonntedby the t ith in& the army, on the following morning, was directed to make a forward movement, and td at tack the enemy wherever he.might threaten to make any refillance. •In this march, our army gained about fir mama country, without firing mere than a few shot, the enemy continuing to re treat befbre us as oftenas the front vector columns (hewed dirmfelves upbb the fueceffive heights, and the army halted that isight about hallway dif. tance between Aboukir and Alexandria; tire enemy having retired birder cover of their artillery, to a very (hong commanding potation in front of the latter place. Our Commander in Chief, Sir AILPII ASIRCROMIT, taW the neceffity, before the enemy could be reinforced with fresh troops, and befbre he could driw More artillery from his depot at Alexandria, of immediately attacking-hint, and bringing on a general engagement. Fol this put. pore, the army was direded to form three co. lumns of attack. The right was to keep , along the fea.lhore ; the left along the Lake Maudie, and the centre to advance into the intermediate country. The right was the fire of thefe columns that fell In, with the enemy, and a very (harp action immedi ately cosnuaeWed between, this column and the enemy's left. wing.

It appeared theprifoner was direovered through • the Vigilance of Sayers, a Bow-greet officer, who; isi COmequence of previous information, went,. at. landed by two other officers, to his houfo, in ('Starch-ftreet, We ft miniler. After koocking twice or thrice at the door, they were admitted by the prifoner, whom they keyed, as well as another perfon, who, not appearing to have been at work, was afterwards difcharged by the Magiftrates.— 'The prifoner had on a working apron, and his Bands were rather dirty. Upon entering the houfe, the officers experienced a molt noxious, fuffocating fmell, fomething likethat of fulphur ; they .pro ceeded to examine the various apartments of the houfe, and at length went into the kitchen, where the y difeovered a variety of the apparatus neceffar? for coining bate money ; but there were feveral ar ticles, without which it could not be made, that were net found. There were found a number of• blank (billings and ft xpence s and punches for cutting them ;' but there was no fiy, and cenfequently it was evident the"punches could not have been made ufe of. There was no fitted Myer, or aqua fo rt is, or cream of tartar, all which were:lndif 4 penfibizAn- . gredients in the colouring' of money; but tax ply this proof there waS the fuppofitiott that the (tench had been produced by throwing the' aqua fortis into the fire; there was silo a Rick, which (melted very (bong of aqua fortis, and'appeared to • have been vied in (tiering it; and there were an. Bibles, fand - paper, blacking,. and molt of the other • Means ufed to etet the procefs. Among the bale coin produced were a number of guineas, and half. guineas. In the courfe of the trial the molt minute evidence was given of the method of counterfeit- • ing money, the particulars of which it would be extremely dangerous to detail. The refult, was, that, without many other ingredients betides thole found in the prifoner's honk, it was impoffihle, to confuenmate the offence of coining ; the cafe con fequently depended upon the inference to be drawn from the circumftantial evidence, wrongly corro borated by inch figs as were proved beyond all doubt. The prifoner in his defence laid, he appeared before his Lordfhip, and a refpeftable ry, accufed of a crime of the molt heinous nature. His Counfel, GUILNIT and Mr. ALLY, 'had already urged in his behalf that he was not guilty ; but he begged to be allowed to fay a few words in addition to what they had advanced in his favour. He was a foreigner, unacquainted with the means of eitricating hinifelf from the dilemma in which he was invotvcd, and therefore claiMed the indul gence and candour of the Court. He had come to England with the late Earl of Bute. as his . Steward, and the hand writing of that Nobleman, which he hoped the Court would read, would prove the eflimation in which he held him ; fie had fince been in the fervice of feveral foreign • Ambaffirdors ; he was 66 years of age, and had . been 3, years in England, during which period his charader had been fpotlets, and he had nei ther darkened the doors' of ? prifon, cr fern thc face of a Judge. His age not permitting him to 'purfue his former mode of obtaining his livelihood, he had ezercifed his talent for cherniftry in refin ing filver and other metals, and never imagined he was doing what was unlawful. Had the offi • cen waited at his houfe with. patience, and not bare created an alarm, the periOn to whom the blanks belonged would undoubtedly have caned for them. He had rejeCted the offer of neinsr tried by a mixed Jury, fully perfuaded that his fate could not be in better hands, or that he could be before any tribunal on earth more difpnfcd to Alyea itfelf of prejudice, and decide with =par: *laity and jeftice, then a J ury of Engliffimen.
