*.AFFAIRS OF EGTPT. CAMP AFORE •LEXAMDRIA, APRIL 10. Our potation has not experienced any material change fince nrylail, nor is it probable that we shall be for tome that again engaged in this quarter in attire operations,as the fate of Alexandria depends upon the fuccefs of the efforts mating by the ene- to fOr its 'relief. Malmo confiantly harangues his troops in the name of the Republic, in the defence of which he exhorts them to die. He has told them that nine fail of the line, having 7000 troops on board. had failed from France for Egypt ; and that with this reinforcement be would again lead the army to vic tory. But his rhetoric is in vain ; the foldiers are . difaffeited and clamorous, and few days elapfe, that from ten to twenty of them do not defcrt to us. A guard of forty-three yeaerday attempted to come off, but were difcovered and fired on ; nine of them reached our lines, but he nil were either killed or obliged to return, and three of the k latter have fence been fhot. _ - Maim: lately fired upon one of our flagsof truce, is it approached the city, and compelled it to re ties ; it is the o?inion, however, of his foldiers, that notwithftanding his affirmed confidence, he participates in the general defpondency, and en tertains the defire, untverfal in his mot, of return ing to France. Bdd& Camp before MaxaMikip, April 14. We hear that intelligence has reached the head. quarters, that the troops from India have effeeted their debarkation,at Suer, and are in full march. They are Rated to amount to 6000 men. • Alexandria, though of conilderable ilrength, is Bill afailable with fuccefs ; but the enterprize _ , would, it is ellinrated, cof ucthree or four thole- . fend men; and as, from the condition of his ma gazines, the enemy cannot hold out many months, oar General has humanely refolved to (pare to otu country fo many gallaist men, and trait to the operation of time for the poffellion of the place. The deferters mention, that for feveral days paR the allowance of provifions and water, had been ?educed to little more than half the accuftomed ra tion s and that even on this contrafted fcale, they had not fubfiftence for more than three months. Aboukir, May z. I was yefterday at Rofetta. , --the Rate of the place bears inconteßible proof of the poverty of the fup plies and refources of the enemy. The Mamelucks, to the number of soot), a& in conjunibhn with the Britith army, which receives from all dire ions the moR abundant fupplies.—l have fcen one of Isfsmou's proclamations on the fubjeti, in which he has threatened to burn every village, of which a linFle inhabitant should carry provilions to the Englith camp.

We learn from the definers that Minton com municated to the army the failure of this overture, „and fought to inflame their refeutment by the molt impaffioned declamation—he reproved his troops for want of their accuftomed conftancy, and ex prefred his indignation and wonder that an army which hlkd given chains to Italy, and dilated peace .to Auftria almoft beneath the walls of its capital— the flower of the French nation, could Infer itfelf to be beaten by the Luba Anglois--(the cowardly Englifh.)—The foldiers are as much aftonifbed as the General at their defeat, but they have profited better by their experience, and learned to refpea their enemy. Through the fame channel we learn, that the lois of the Republicans in the battle of the s eft of March, comprifed 24.00 killed and wound ed, and Soo made prifoners. The anaiverfary of the defeat of the GRAND Vl via at El Hanka was celebrated in the French camp the night before the battle, and every means were nfed by the officers to infpire their troops with ardour and enthufiafm, and it is certain they anticipated rn ;flue very foreign to what they ex itctlenced.

Many German Princes are airembling their troops and keeping them in a Rate of readinefs to march, for the purpol of occupying the diftrids allotted to them as limn as the plan of indemnities than have paired the Diet. This intention is ob. fervable in the military movements now taking place in the territories of the Eledor of Bavaria, die Landgraves of Hefle Cafe) and Hefe Darin fladt, of the Duke of Wnrtemberg, of the Mar grave of Baden, and above all, in the Pruffian pof fefsons in Franconia. The troops which are affembled in this country are concentrated on the frontiers, and in a Rate of coriplete readinefs to enter the Birhopricks of ,Wurtzburgh and Bamberg. The Regency of Ha nover having intelligence, no 'doubt, that this Elec torate will not again be reftored to the RING of ENGLAND, has fent an invitation to the Pruffian Government, requefting that the troops may be withdrawn, but this demand has not been com plied with by his Pruffian Majeßy. PORTUGAL. EXTRACT OT • LETTER tROI4 A RESPICTAILI StIR CANTILE NOUSE IN LISBON, DATIDJUNI 12. This country has only to-day, declared a peace with France and-Spain, and the total prohibition of all intercourfe in commerce with Britain. No Britifh (hip of war is allowed to enter the ports.— All the firong forts in Portugal are to be manned by French and Spanifh troops. Yeaerday, the Briti(h merchants, in a body, addreffed our Con ful General, informing him that the Britifh Cap tains of merchantmen had entered into a combina tion to receive no cottons, wines, &c. bur at a mon extravagant freight, and requelled of him to grant pal - ports and licenfes to all neutral veffels. His anfwer hich, to-day, was, " Gentlemen, I am fo thoroughly convinced of the propriety of your requen of yeaerekty, that I cannot hefitate to give paffports and licenfes for veffels of goy nation that you may employ in the removal of your property ; which I thould firongly advife you to flip, as quickly as poffible.

EXTRACT OF A PRITATI LITTER, DATED JUNI 29. In my la fi lettei I informed you of our being cap. cured and carried into Cadiz. The Captain and all the officers of the privateer behaved to us in the mon handfome manner. When the parengers left the fhip,their trunks were not opened. On going on &ore we were treated by the Spaniards with the utmoll attention and politenefs. though fine the threatened bombardment left fummer, when the plague raged at Cadiz, the people of this country have chenthed a violent dithke of the Englifh. There were atCadiz fix fail of the line ready for fea, under the command of 'Admiral MASSARIDO, jun returned from Bren ; (dick are the (hips which were at Ferrol, when Sir J. PULTINIT was there), befides them, there are fix fail of Spanifh (hips of the line, given b the Spaniards to the French, there (hips are commanded by Contre Ad miral DUNIANOW le PELMET, (he was Captain of one of the frigates which returned from Egypt with Boaareara,) a very able iatelligent officer. This (quadron only waits for their crews daily expetted front France in two frigates. There are alto 1 i fail of the line at the Caraceas, tiro leagues from Ca diz; the Cameras is what Woolwich is in England; every exertion is making to be ready for fez as loon as poffible. During my flay at Cadiz, two Eaglith fail of the line were eruizing off the bay, but the Spaniards thinking it was only a decoy, did not go out to face them. On my arrival at Faro (in Portugal), I met thefe two fail of the line, which proved to be the Surat', y.t., Captain !WTI.; and the VINIRAILI. Captain HOOD; Tihich had convoyed the outward bound EaR India fiat as far as St. Michael's. all well and fah. From the officers of there (hips I Was informed that the two French frigates, with the crews on board for the French (let, had got fate into Cadiz; they were purfued for tome hours by the two (teem-fours. but without area. On the eth of June, the French General Des Menzies, of the 7th regiment of huffars, arrived at Cadiz, to command a French and Spanifh army latich ut so penetrate into Pomp' by the Pro. vine of Algarva; General Dn Moitailfl is an experienced officer, though a young man. He commanded under MASSENA and DESSAII, at Zurich and Marengo, and it was he who entered the council at St. Cloud, and had neaely been (tabbed by the Deputy ARDOR. Being the only paffenger out of nine who ob tained permiftion to travel through Spain into Por tugal (all the others were fentto Gibraltar), I left Cadiz for this place, by the way of Algarva. At Agamonte, the frontier town oppofite Portugal, there are at let& 8000 Spaniards, and gOOO French are szPated tojoin them,and to be commanded by General Das Mouzias. The town oppofite on the Portugal fide, is Villa Real, incapable of re fiftanee ; a ftrong bombardment of thefe places took place a day before I arrived at Agamonte, but without much effe& or lofs on either fide. On my arrival here at Lilbon, I heard that which was told me at Cadia I pofitively fhould thottly hear, namely,of Peace being figned between Spain, France, and Portugal. I (hall now give you a proper and detailed ac. count of political and military events which have recently occurred here, and as I derive my infor mation from the bet fources, you may depend up. on the truth of my ftatements. So long as laft November, intimation was given to the Britifh Cabinet that Spain had offered her felf as a mediator between Portugal and France, The Britifh Cabinet would eat coaftra to it, but pro. mired Portugal ao,ooo men, fifteen fail of the line, and one million fterling. A perfon in a very high &nation told me yefterday, that even in Febtuary left Mr. PILULE, the Englifh Envoy, affured him that he might depend upon so,ooo Englifh fob diers ! ! I—for the defence of Portugal. War is, however, declared ; no Britifh fuccour arrives, notwithfianding that filch folemn afforances were given. Den RODRIGO'S de Souza, late Minifter of the Marine, is now Prime Minifter, vice Marquis de Powrs de Limas, dentafed. This RODRIGO'S has been, and is fill now, decidedly for war ; in which he is feconded by Lou ii PINTO, Secretary of State for the home department. However, when. the Spanifh army had entered Alenteja, carrying every thing before them, the Portuguefe difpirited, without food, suns, (hoes, and every means of fob fiftence, flying in all direftions ; and when the hof tile army is at Abrantes, eighteen leagues, the Wrnifiry become alarmed, and one of them, Pie ro, gets full power to repair to Badajos.

This was refuted on the ground that Tome months knee France only propofed to draw cordons of Freneh and Spaniib teepee on thePartoguefe frontiers, and for Portugal to maintain them; and only in cafe that Portugal gives any fuccours to the Ugh& the French troops ihould garrifon the Portuguefe towns. The Portuguefe negotiator dots not know what could have clanged the refolutioni of the French Cabinet, and as L. Bo AAAAA TR did not know this, and thought k was very fair what M. Piero fug gefted, peace was figned on the 7th of June on the part of France, Spain, and Portugal. It haslteen already ratified by the two latter powers, but it is generally believed that the French Government will not ratify the treaty, nnlefs Portugal admits French•and spanifh troops in her garrifons. Lag night a courier brought the intelligence to Court that the French arniy,za,ooo thong,under the command of Gen. Sr. Cra, had entered Portugal from Salamancha, and had inverted the fortrefs of 1 Almeidaywhich is in the North Eaft of Portugal, and lies between Oporto and Lilbon, and about go leagues from the latter place. There is no Por tuguefe army whatever to oppefe Sr. CYR, as the main armyunderthr command ofthe Due d'A ro an s, is oppofed to the Spanifh army at Arbante s, and the Portuguefe army on the frontiersof Gallicia, un der the command of the Marquis de la Rozis a s, a Frenckemigrant, isoppofedsothe Spanifharmy un der thavmmand of the Count de Sr. Si mole ; there fore the road to Li (bon is open for Sr. CYR'S RIM]. By this movement of the French army, it appears that orders were fent dire& to Sr. Cr& 'from Pa ris, but no news of the ratification of the Peace front Paris can be known by the way of Badajos, where the negociators Rill are, till the 4th ofneat month. Field Martha' Count de GOLTZ has riot been in the fiel d, nor does he with to go, as it will not add much to his reputation to command a .Portuguete army. On the 9th of this month the news arrived here of the peace being figned. Don Repairs u as com municated it to the Corps Diplomatique: he was queftioned as to the terms, and his reply was a He did not know." This produced a ftrong Note from Mr. Fames to the Portoguefe Miniffer, re monftrating againft the conclufion of Peace till 'England was contuked, and it is even raid that menaces were thrown out. The Portuguefe Cabinet are much hurt at this haughty. condua, efpecially as Portugal has to complain of England, and not England of Por tugal. In fa&, If. PINTO, when be went to the frontiers, never told the Britifh Minitier of his in tentions, and he went the day after a packet had failed for England, upon which Mr; Fasts dif patched Capt. Day with an armed veffel. Immediately after Mr. Fasts had prefented his Note, he wrote to Mr. Actor moor, the Eng. lith Conful General here, defiring him to intimate to the Britifh Merchants refiding in Portugal, a That, in confequence of Paco being made be tween Spain, France, and Pottugal, and in all pro. bability prejudicial to the interefts of Great Bri tain and of Inglithmen refident in this country, policy required that all Bridal fubjeas thould hold themfelves ready to depart at a moment's notice." The fubflance of Poch a letter was communicated by the Conful to a Mr. Gowns, an Eighth Mer chant of this city, and which letter was handed abort on 'Change. This produced a great fen ration here in the public mind, in confequence of which Don R ODR taut 1 waited' on M. FR ERE , ex. poftulating with him on the impropriety of fuch a kttcr, efpecially as the PRINCE REGRET had fo repeatedly altured the Britifh Merchants of his protation. It was then agreed on by the two Minifters, that the following letter (hould be pnflal .on 'Change, which is quite alarming enough !or the Britifh intereft : COPY OW A LATTER ADORE/lUD TO ALL ERITIBU - RESIDING IN PORTUGAL, BY TUE BRITIAN CONSUL, DATED LISBON, ZUNI 14.
