HAMBURON MAIL. Hamby:moo, Auousr B.—lt is faid that the Batavian Government has obtained leave to carry on the herring fithery under the Pruffian flag. Different letters from Paris confidently alert that GAIITHIRAU Mt has returned to Toulon with out effe.lhng his projeded debarkation. The Clll pi Coss ut. has erafed from the lift of Counfellors of State the name of Admiral GAN rNsautss. He had fent the Chief Conful the rail nutes of a Council of War held on the Coed of Africa, at the difiance of 120 leagues from Alex andria, in which it was decided that it would not be expedient to difembark the troops, as the paffage acrofs the defart could not have been effeaed with- oat very great lots. But BONAPARTE had fent the ;aloft pofitive orders to difembark, not only at the diftance of 120 leagues from Alexandria, but in Egypt itfelf. Several agents of DANDRE, known under the name of MAYOR ; and other agents of Wicxa•si, correfpondents of the Committee of Bareuth, are received and proteiled by feveral banking-houfes at Franckfort. It is through this channel that all the reports are circulated concerning new intrigues in the Cabinets of Europe. The Cu ar CONSUL is indifpofed. We learn from Brufrels that the Ex-Direflor BARRAS lives there in the molt expenfive The intelligence of the fall of Cairo has canted the moll lively joy to prevail here. As you have, probably by this time received the o ffi cial account, p it is unneceffary for me to enter into any particu lars. The number of troops who furrendered was soop, and their determination to fubmit was acce lerated by the dreadful ravages which the plague had for Come time continued to make. I have this moment learned that the fall of Cairo render ing the fitnation of the enemy at Alexandria en tirely hopelefs, General Mesiou propofed a capi tulation, by which his troops were to be conveyed home to France. The prcpofal was jnaantly tent to General Hurcessisox, whole anfwer was not received at the departure of the laft accounts, but there is no doubt of its having been agreed to. This important intelligence has been received from Conftantinople, and as it teems extremely probable, I think I may venture to congratulate you on the entire fulijugetiou of the enemy in Egypt. The next *deices are expeifled to bring the particulars. Vilma A, AUGUST 7.—Lord MIN TO received yefterday a courier from Lord Ezora, at Confign tinople ; and in the afternoon 'communicated the important intelligence, which he had received of ficially, that the City and Forts of Cairo, with the whole corps of French troops which were there, partly in garrifon, and partly in an entrenched camp, had furrendered by capitulation to the unit ed Turkifh end Britiffi forces.—The French troops are made prifoners of war, and are to be conveyed to France. The joy of the inhabitants of Cairo at the figning of the capitulation was indefcribable ; and had it not been for the Engliffi, the populace would have proceeded to barbarous metres againft the French prifoners. By the middle of June, the GI•ND ViZIER, with the affiftence of General Bore HINSON, and the Tell of the combined forces, approached the fvs, and threatened them with a general affault. The French judged it unadvifea hie to attempt to refift the attack of a force fo much fuperior, and therefore laid down their arms, rather than expofe themfelves to the confe quences of the forts being carried by affault. The number of the prifoners is eftimated at about Soon, among which are included Greeks, Armenians, &c. In confequence of this event, the whole of Up per and Lower Egypt is in the power of the Eng lab and Turks, and Alexandria is the only place in Egypt remaining in the pofreffion of the French. —lmmediately after the entrance of the GRAND \Taira into Egypt, that Commander, in conjunc tion with the Englifh, propofed to march imme diately, with all the force that could be (pared, againft Alexandria; and it was expected that Ge neral MENOU would loon follow the example of his comrades at Cairo, and fubmit to a fimilar capi tulation.—The Porte and the Public at Conflanto nople have exprefed the utmoft joy at this intelli gence of the furrender of Cairo • and it is now confidered as certain that the French mull loon be driven entirely out of Egypt. To-day we received by the ufual poll from Con- Ilantinople letters from that city of the loth of July. Thefe letters (which do not come fo low as the date of the intelligence brought by the courier) Mention, that the want of water in Alexandria has fo much increafed, that each foldier only receives a tingle cup of water in a day. Againft the forts at Cairo (before the furrender of Generals Bs zzi aso,Gaarios, &c.) feveral pieces of heavy artillery bad been brought up. General Hurcit in sou had received, by various ways, a reinforcement of 7000 Englifb troops; and every precaution bad been taken by the Turks to prevent the landing of any French troops. Two Turkilk frigates bad joined Admiral Warren. Accounts have been received here from. Malta, that Admiral Ge AAAAA USIS had aaually calk anchor on the African coat, thirty German miles Irons Alexandria; but a fquadron detached from Lord KEITH'S fleet making its appearance, he or dered his fhips to flip their cables, and returned.— The Englifii, however, took eight empty French tranfpnets. According to accounts from Connan tinople, die GRAND Simeon has fent prefents of great value to the Caen' VIZIER, the CAPTAIN PACNA, and Lord KEITH. On the 9th of July the Chevalier de CORRAL, the Spanifh Minifter at Cookastiaople, had his audience of entry of the CAISSACAN• FRANCRPORT, AUGUST 6.—On Saturday laft, the MATO& of Mentz, and the Mercies Niede rolm and Oberingclheim fwort the oath of fidelity to the French Republic, in their own name and that of their Commonalties, on which occafion the bells were rung and the artillery on the ramparts difcharged---The Ecckfiallical foundations at Mentz will for tive prefent remain in their former Rate. lain anonymous publication which lately ap peared it Paris, and is afcribed to General Etc ill- MA lat e it IS propofeA, that only the inner walk of that fortrefs fhould remain, but that for the pro teCtion of that city, two forts fhould be Toltec!, one on Peterfaw, and the other near the mouth of the Mayne. It is faid, that Generals Maaaseor, AN• DEEM st, and CLARKS, are likewife of opinion that the fortifications of Mentz might be razed. Letters from Naples hate, that the Notes of the Banks of that city (formerly in a very flourifhing condition) amounting to 40 millions, are placed out of courfe by the Government, which declared that, at the return of better times, a partial indem nificatioa fhould be made to the holder.. Intlead of thee notes, new paper-money, with the infcrip tion, Conienti, has been put into circulation. BRUSSELS, JULY appears by letters from Holland that there is no longer any doubt of the fpeedy failing of the Dutch fleet under Admiral De WINTER. The troops on board the divifion now lying in the road of Helvoet Sluys will be difembarked in a few days, and will forni a camp in the ifland of Goree. In the mean time the workmen employed in the dock-yards of the Re public are moll aetively employed, and the fleet will foon be augmented by feveral new frigates and (hips of the line, which will fail the moment that their crews are completed. The Engli(h con tinue to flop the Using boats, to enquire concern. ing the preparations on the craft. The moment that there is the leaft movement in any of the har bours an alarm-gun is fired, and in a few minutes a number of enemies' (hips colleifted. Every thing indicates the terror of the Britifh Government at the menacing difpofitions made from the Texel to Havre de Grace. The preparations for an im portant Expedition, neverthelefs, are more adive than ever. °dicers have arrived at Dunkirk from every part of France,. to go on hoard the flotilla arming in that port. Events of the utmoft im portance may thus every day be expeCted. AUGUST. 6.—lt is now known that the Englifh Miniftry has rejeeted the greater part of the propo fitions which the Film-CONSUL had offered as a bafis for peace ; fo that little hope is entertained of a fuccefsful iffue to the negotiations which have fo long cooinued between France and England. FRANCS. PARIS, AUGUST zr. People milli have been a good deal (truck with the importance attached in England to the late operation of Nsison: This Thews the credit they deferve for their flatements of what has taken place at a diftance. Lord NaLsok writes that the city of Boulogne is in afhes. The truth is, that not one tingle bomb reached either the town or the harbour. This may be very eafily conceived. Our flotilla was an chored at the diftance of coo toifes from the en trance of the harbour, and Lord Netsom did not approach nearer to any part of this flotilla than t 800 toifes. He was thus not lets than 2300 toifes from the entrance of the harbour. It is many hundred toifes from the entrance of the harbour to the city. Of the 100 bombs which Miaow threw, 200 fell upon the beach ; the moft of thofe were picked up, and carried to the arfena]. All the reft were com pletely thrown away, and never bad a chance of wounding any one. Two boats were a little damaged, but again made ferviceable in 24 hours. If the (bores about Dover were crowded with people to witnefs the attack, fo were thofe about Boulogne. Thus it was witneffed from the (bores of both countries. Does not this make them re ferable the banks of a great river Although we attach very little importance to this fkirmifh, we cannot help mentioning that Lord Nat-son, according to his own account, had two objeas in view :-1. To compel that part of the fleet which had anchored before the month of the harbour to re-enter it. In this he failed, for our (Lips did not move a yard from their petition.— They even compelled him to keep at a greater dif tance when he was trying to come nearer them, and afterwards kept him out of cannon fliot. a. The fecond objeet was to deftroy the harbour of Boulogne, and to burn the different divifions of the fleet which it contains. Not a bomb, not a bullet approached the town ; and after all this fufs we had not one man killed or wounded, while Naison coddles that many of his officers were both killed and wounded.—Mseiterr. Citizen PICHON, COMMifrATy General of Com- 1 mercial Relations at Philadelphia, writes that Citizen Vic Tot Hoc aas is generally efteemed over all America. During the two years Vicroa Huts ins has been Commiffary at Cayenne he has changed the face of the colony. The CHIEF CON. sot has diretled the Minifier of the Marine to in form him that his condutt meets with the entire approbation of Government. Letters from Minden, of the 6th of Augufl,•an nounce anew the approaching evacuation of the Eleftorate of Hanover by the ?ruffian troops. It will be entirely owing to the powerful mediation of the Empalme of Rossia if this report has More foundation than thofe that have preceded it. The fame letters mention as the indemnities to be affign ed to the Pato ce of 0114111101, the bilhoprics Wurtz burgh, Bamberg and Fulda, which will be con folidated into one Rate. It is added, that the Kota of PRUSSIA will have the bifhopric of Man lier and the Duchy of Berg. Citizen Baca za, the Minifter of the Republic at Ratifbonne, delivered in on the t tth Thermidor ( July 30), a note conceived in very ftrong terms, calling upon the Diet to proceed with the fecula rizations wilhout delay, and Rating this to be the only means of indemnifying the Princes of Ger.' many and Italy, who, by virtue of the treaty of Luncville, have a right to be indemnified. •UCUST 14.. We are informed from Nantes, that a divifion of the Englifh fleet, confining of a 'hip armed en flute, a large corvette, a frigate, a lugger, and a brig, are continually in Quiberon-bay.

The Englifh have removed frOin our wafts: they fill, however, continue in fight, andtcruize at large. They have made no attempt either yefier day or to-day : they have fent back into England five of their bomb veffels which were confiderably damaged by our fire in the affair of the 16th. We have only had two men very lightly wounded, and this is all that we have fuffered by the throw ing of twelve hundred bombs, and by fending Nazsom to attack us. e following letter has been addreffed to Beat-- Admiral Lrrouca a Taavizza under whofe com mand all the naval force of la idanehe is placed: “ Admiral—The Sub-Prefeift of the divifion, the Mayor, and other Magiftrates of Boulogne, owe in their own name, and in the name of their fel low citizens, to the brave flotilla placed tinder your command, the tribute of their admiration and their gratitude. They requell of you to tranf. mit this acknowledgment to the failors and foldiers who fo worthily maintained the honour of the French arms, and fuppcirted the charafter of the French name, on the 16th Thermidor (4th Aug.). We have feen, Admiral, with what unalterable confaney, with what invincible courage, your companions in arms fuflained, in fpite of an infe riority of their forces and their means, whicfpwould have difcouraged any other people but the French, a bombardment of fifteen hours, direeted by a man who has tarnifhed his name by two vieories over civilization and the liberty of the fens. We have feen the thunderbolts of the Englifh arfenals main guified in the waters which furronnd oar coatis, without having reached one of thofe brave men defined to defend them and to invade the (bores of England. With what feelings will the Englifh behold there heroes who, under the guiding genius of B0111•IPALaTI, and the flag of LATOUCHE Tat vitt', are preparing to let foot on a land which for twelve years has fupplied fuel for the flames of war, and has nourifhed chore divifions and that fpirit of monopoly which have deßroyed the re pole of Europe. Be affured, Admiral, that you will find none here but true Frenchmen, convinced as we are of our greater obligations to be fo from our greater vicinity to England." FROM THE PARIS PAPERS. STOCKHOLM, JULY 28.—The affair of Admiral WACHNISINTIR, who commanded the fleet at Carlfcrona, has been decided this day by the Au lic Council of war. Though it has been proved that the fleet equipped at Carlfcrona could not get out of harbour, to proceed to the Sound, on ac count of contrary winds, the Council fentenced Count WACHULISTER to be deprived of all his military employments, becaufe he did not punCtu ally execute the Ki tic's orders in regard to other points. We are anxious to know whether thin` fentence will be confirmed by the KING. CUWDAD RODLlGOVPAlWULY24.—Thehead quarters of the Fren ch are her. A peace has been figned between the Spaniards and the Portu guefe, but it appears that no treaty has as yet been concluded with the Republic. Though the nego ciations Rill continue, yet the horizon appears to be clouded. It is generally feared that the French will enter Portugal with an armed force. We know not to which point the French army will dire et it- Will, but we are a diftance nearly equal from Oporto and from Lifbon. If the Court of the lat ter place does not fign a peace with the French, it is probable that the Spaniards will take no there in the expedition, the ilTue of which will be at no great diftance. Rona, JULY Ip.—The celebrated Englifhman Mr. Hoes, well known for his mile in the Fine Arts, has arrived here for the fourth time. He has returned from a learned tour through the Le vant. He has not only colleaed with great care the valuable remains of the antient magnificence of the Greeks, but has made very accurate and elegant drawings of them. He is on his way to England, from which he will return hither next winter ; our Artins wait with impatience for this generous friend of the Fine Arts. _ _ NAPLIS, JULY 19. —We are informed frorco Malta and Palermo, that the fquadron of Rear- Admiral GAIITNPAVNI, on the 6th of June, was within 6o miles of Alexandria,towards the Levant; that the currents of the Nile prevented a difem barkation ; that having appeared on the coaft of Tripoli, he found the inhabitants every where in arms to oppofe his landing ; that he fent a corvette to Alexandria ; and that the inundation of the Nile had begun to raife fome obftacles to the opera tions of the Englifh army, and to the arrival of the troops landed at Suez.—Courier de Milan. LEGHOIOI. JULY 22.—The following are the meafures taken by the Provifional Government of Tufcany, in concert with the French, for the redo/lion of Porto Ferrajo. Eight pnvateers are freighted and fitted out to ferve as tranfports, and to aft againft the place, and on the a6th of this month, two large ve ff eis laden with heavy artil lery and ammunition will fet out for the fame def tination. A great many brafs-cannon with field pieces and heavy artillery, taken from the point of the mole, have been put on board thefe veffels their place baiting been fupplied by others of lef; calibre. Betides, this city has had orders to fur nifh a great quantity of planks. and feveral thou- land bags, which, according to cuftom, will be filled with earth neceffary to make entrenchments, and in order that the troops may not want pro vifions feveral cargoes of bifcnit have arrived from Pifa by lea as well as land; they have all been em barked in a large tartan, to be conveyed to Pions bino. Several covered waggons belonging to the divifion of General Vara in, to whom this expedi tion has been entrufted, are alfo on their march; a company of rappers and cannoneer' have arrived, and to-morrow will continue their route foe Pim:t hin*. This evening the Zephir privateer, having troops and ammunition on board, failed for Lon tone. It is Paid that General VATRIN is prepar ing to fet out for the fame place. it is not true, as announced, that Porto-Ferrajo is defended by an Englifh fquadron ; we know on. ly that on Friday laft, the Englifh cutter, the Ross, arrived there and landed the Captain, who, after a conference of fame hours, with the officers civil and Maitary . of that place,teturned on board, add made fail for the place of his de ftination. yeIJULY a3.—Gen.

There fet out this mornin g Dr covered waggons filled with gmmunition for the ufe of the troops ; the number of bags already forwarded amounts to thirty-fix thonfand,they will be filled with earth and will be ufed in filling up the foffe. If the place does not fpeedily furrender, it is determined to attack it on the fide of the lea ; fome privateers and frigates will cruife before it, and endeavour to deftroy a bridge furnifhed with artillery, which, it is laid, the inhabitants of Porto Ferrajo have conftruded for the defence of the en trance of the harbour. It is flated that the Eng lifh fleet has failed, having on board a number of women and children, who ferve only to confume their provifions, and they have fent back a new meflinger who had been fent to them with pro pofals of furrender, to prevent the farther effulion of human blood. The French have of late confi. derably encreafed in the iiland ; their number is eftimated at eight thonfand. It is not true, as was reported, that an Engliih fquadron had arrived in the roads of Porto Ferrajo, a Tingle cutter only having arrived, theCaptai a of which gave orders for fang, after having held a fhort conference with the leading Pe•PIC of the place.
