It is added, that the French are em, ployed in equipping a confiderable portion of the Spanifh fleet at Cadiz, to the number of nine fail of the line, which, with the French fquadron, and five fail of Portuguefe (hips now at Lifbon, pre paring alto for immediate fervice, will afford the Cousut an addition to his navy of twenty fail of the line; and may probably induce him to give • our. gallant officers and brave tars another oppor tunity of adding a farther flock of laurels, to the ample crop which they have already reaped in the field of glory. It is not neceffary to offer any remarks with the fubjOined pleafing intelligence, publiffied officially this morning in a Gazette Extraordinary: DOT/NING•ETRIRT, Just 4, ißoi. The following Copy of a Letter from Lieute nant-General Sir Jon t 4 Heir Horca tirscur, K. B. addreffed to the Right Hon. HENRY DUNDAs, has been this day received at the Office of the Right Hon. Lord Hosear ; as alfo the Copy of a Le tter from Lord ELora,addreffed to the Right Honourable Lord Hawirssoar, one of his Ma. jefty's Principal Secretaries of State for the Fo reign Department : Copy of a Letter from Lientecam-Clemeral Sir jean Hsu Holmium* pi, K. B. to tie Right Hoeograhk Hamar DVIDAS, dated Camp before Alelandria, April so. Sia—lt is with grist pleafure that lam to inform you of the fuccefs of a corps .of Turks and Britith under the command of Colonel Sr sx- Mt. They were ordered from hence about ten days ago, for the purpofe of forcing the enemy from the town and cafile of Rofetta, which com mands the navigation of the Nile. This operation has perfeßly fucceeded. We are now maters of the Weftern branch of that River, and of courfe have opened a communication with the Delta, from which we (hall derive all neceffary fupplies, as the ' French have feared) , any troops there, and none capable of making a ferious refiftance. The Enemy had about eight hundred men at Rofetta, when they were attacked. They made , k but a feeble effort to fuftainthemfelves, and retired to the right bank of the Nile, leaving i few men killed and prifoners. They left a . garrifon in the Fort, againft which our Batteries opened on the *6th, and it furrendered onahe loth infant: The i conditions are the fame as were granted to the ' cattle of Aboukir. I have many obligations to Colonel Sterrett for the real, a4ivity, and military talents, which he has difplayed in the conduit of this important fervise ; and I beg leave to recommend him as a deferring and molt excellent officer.

My Lord—Mr. MORIER having returned from Egypt, have the fatisfafftion of being able to lay before your Lordlhip a far more particular ac. count of the affairs and proceedings in that coun ' try than it has hitherto been in my power to coin . • limunieate. He left the camp before Alexandria on the sad ult. At that time the enemy remained in their Prong pirfition trn9n the heights near the eaftein walls of Alexandria—their numbers about fix thoufand men. They are fill in anxious expectation of re ceiving reinforcements, particularly that which hael been announced to them &scorning from Ad. roiral GARTH AU PI E. The lots of the enemy, according to the numer. . . . , ons reports which have been collated, certainly exceeds five thoufand men, and a great proportion of Officers : Four Generals are known to have been killed. Every encouragemeot fame to have . .' 4 lbren given and held out to the French army to en. • • lure the:r utmoft exertions. AMong other things, thew ware taught to expect no quarter from the Priura. The prifoners agree, that in no part of this war hid fuehhard fighting, or fuch determin ed bravery ever been feen, as they have met with from our army in Egypt. I preform that Sir RALPH Astacitom sea & fence from the camp, in confequence of his wounds on the 1I ft of March, had created a momentary fufpenfion of our operations; - and the irreparable loft oecationed by his death mull alfo neeeffinly have checked the proreetitleh of plans, in the for mation-and ernention of Which he had always borne fo leading.* part. The CAPTAIN PAC Ns did not arrive in time to fee Sir RALPH Assactrniar ; r f I 4 . but it appears that General HuTcatttso►t follow. lowed his Excellency's intention relative to the troops on board the Turkifh fleet, by employing them againft Rofetta, - and accordingly direeted Colonel SPENCER, having under him a corps of about eight hundred Brittlb, to proceed with the 'l'urks to that expedition. The town was evacuat ed without refiflance. Some guns were then brought to bear upon the Fort St. Julien, which commands the entrance of the river. The garri fon of three hundred and fixty-eight men furrender ed on the 19th ult. Rahmanich was Rill in the hands of the French. They had fortified it, both in a view to fecure their communications from the upper part of the Delta, and Upper Egypt, whence they received their pro vifions. Under thefe circum fiances, ('.en. HVTcHlwsow has very much ftrengthened his pofition between Aboukir and Alexandria, not only by a range of works in front, but particularly by opening the fluices which kept in the waters in the lake on the left ; and if, as fs fuppofed, this inundation fhall extend over the whole of the plain to the eaft of the Lake of Mareotis, the communication betwein Alexandria and )tahmanich, which is the enemy's neareft point, will be eight or nine days journey without water. Having taken there meafures, General HUT CRIMSON was to transfer his head-quarters to Re. fetta on the 23d ultimo ; to which place he had already:fent forward a ftrong detachment, amount. ing to above four thoufand Britifh, including Co lonel STENCIL'S corps; and he was immediately to proceed from thence, with nearly an equal number of the CAPTAIN PACHA'S troops, againft Ralunanich, where the French were underftood to have afembled three thoufand men- On the other hand advices had been received faveral days before from the Giawo VIZIER, dat. id at Belbeis, from which it appeared that his Highnefs, reinforced by nearly five thoufand men from DJIZZAR PACIIA, had Fafred the defart, and had advanced fo far towards Cairo, without meet• ing with oppofition either at Salahich or at Bel. beis. He had alfo detached a corps which has' taken poffeftion of the town of Damietta, though the Fort ofl'Efbe is fill in the hands of the French. It is not expeled that his Highnefs twill esperi . ense any material refiftance at the town of Cairo . And I find it is the determination of Gen. HUTCH. mom to afford his Highnefs fuch aid as may be requifite towards the attacking the fortifications which the French occupy near to the town, if it is neceifary to reduce them by force. General HUTCHINSON has further received a fa vourable letter from MURAD Bs y, faying he is ready to join us when we come into his neighbourhood. I am happy to add thht our army arc in the ligheft health and fpirits. The climate and west. ther had hitherto been moil propitious. The na -1 tives had acquired the greateß degree of confidence from the Proclamation iffued by our army, and were continuing to bring in hones, And provifions in great plenty. Nearly one thoufand of our ca valry are now well mounted there; and we have Ilia about eleven thoufand infantry in the field. The utmoft degree of unanimity prevails between the Britilh and Turkiih troops. (Signed) atom. The following Regiments are ordered to be en camped as a moveable referee, and to be prepared to an upon the fhorteft notice ;—zd Battalion of Sad Font, Weft Kent Militia s North Gloucefier, South Ditro, Derbyfhire, and Suffix.
