As Alexandria is not fo (Irons on the land as on the fea fide, the Englifh flatter themfelves they (hall be able to take it by (form. The report, that the French troops in • Egypt have already ca pitulated, is not confirmed.—A courierfrom Lon don arrived at Lord Miero's on the 9th inflant, and Coon afterwards he purfued his journey for Conftantinople.

Piedmont indeed receives an Achniniftration, which is almoft the fame with that. of the French Republic, and it is not for us to an ticipate the views of the French Republic in that refpet. The ads of Government, therefore, are not to be proclaiMed in the name of the Fre4h Republic, but in the name of the Provifional Ad , miniftration of Piedmont.

THE MARO,IJIS OF ELANIEFORD. The pleadings were opened byMr. Jr ertx,and the cafe by Mr.,EabititiF,who flated,that he appeared as Counfel for the Plaintiff, who now fought redrefs at / the hands of t he Jury for the cruelleß of injurie,, the fedation of his wife. He had lb often fpoken on fimilar occalions that he could fay nothing now in pointing out the enormitrof the offence of the Defendant, which had not been Paid before. As the Gentlemen of the Jury, however, were moral men, the talk was quite unneceffary. In the year 5788, Mr. Sturt, Member for Bridport, and a gentle man of large property in Dorfetlhire, had - mar ried the daughter of the late Earl of Shaftelbury, beautiful, accomplifhed, and virtuous. Soon af ter this Mr. Athley, this lady's brother, had mar ried a daughter of the Duke of Marlborough, fo that the families of the Plaintiff and the illultrious defendant became nearly conneded,and the great& intimacy commenced between them. The Mar quis of Blandford was a married man, and the father of fix children, fo that no fufpicion what ever could be entertained of his profligate inten tions. He had, however, availed himfelf of the opportunities afforded him by unthinking hofpita lity, and completed the ruin of his friend. As between fuch near.connedions no unfavourable in ference could be drawn from familiarities which, in othercircumaances, wouldhave indicated fomc thing criminal, had it nct been for an accident Mr. S. might have long remained ignorant of his dithonour. Looking one day into the bag that was to convey his letters to the poft-town, he law a letter addreffed to the M. of B. in the hand of Lady Mary Ann Stott. Upon opening it the horrid fecret was difclofed, and he found that fhe had long been unfaithful to his bed. Agonized at the fatal dikovery he inflantly wiffied to expel her his koufe, but fhc was then within a fhort time of being delivered of a child, and though he was convinced that it could not be his, he man fully refolved not to deflroy the fruit of her womb, but to conceal from her his knowledge of her infi delity till after fhe had recovered from her confine ment. He was in this way enabled to get poffcf flon of various other letters in the fame Rile, wrote by the Defendant to his wife. Thefe Mr. Buell/a now proceeded to read. In the firff, wrote foon after the letters bera n to be intercepted, the no ble Marquis expriOlis the utmoflallonithment and anxiety at the lilence of Lady Mary. He pours forth the moll rapturous Brains of an enthufiaftic love, and expatiates upon his (offerings with all the exaggerating eloquence of the deepell grief. In another he complains of her cruelty in defiring him to keep away from Critchill during her con finement. He maintains this to be a complete proof of a change having taken place in her af fedions. That was the time when a female was moll anxious to have her lover by to foothe and to comfort her. He declares his determination in a cafe of another refufal, to come to fome place in the neighbourhood to learn how the is. Hcr condudt he afterwards afcribes to the evil arts of Lady S. of whom he expreffes not an uncom monly good opinion.- He cautions his beloved to be upon her guard againit all reprefentations to his dal - advantage, and repeatedly calls inthe aid ofreli gion. Every thing,fays h.:, which militates again& our love is difpleafing in the eye of Providence. The letter upon which the chief firefs was laid was one wrote after Lady Mary's delivery, it is dated Sunday night, and begins thus : 44 My more thanever beloved MaryAnn—ThatthattPro. videnee which has watched over you in your recent dangers may ever continue to (bower down its choiceft, blellings on the worthieß objefts of its care, is and ever (hall be my conflant prayer. However different our views may have hitherto been, now they mull be the fame. To one point we mutt both look—the education of the de,r pledge of our eternal.lose. My wife, my dear wife, the adored mother of my beloved child, my at:. feaion to you is ten million of times Itronger than ever. Suffer this innocent babe to cement our fo that it may know no end. Love the little Georgiana for the fake of your George, of your Blandford, of your faithful hufband — l ° He again fpeaks of his own child, and laments in the bittereß (train that he had never yet Peen It. He had become quite difpirited, he Pays, and as be often burg into tears, Lady Blandford was extremely alarmed about him. A letter was af. terwards read, which the Marquis had wrote to Lady Mary fubfequent to the explanation which had taken place between her and her hufband. He was then on the point of leaving the kingdom, on his way to Switzerland, that he might indulge his melancholy amida the horrors of•the Alps. He declares his affedions to be unaltered and unalter. able. One confolation he would have in his loll tude : he carried along with him a miniature of his Mary Ann, which he had received from her in the days of their love. This would be hourly (mothered with his kiffes and bedewed with hit tears. He likewife (peaks with enthufiafm of the pleafure he fhould enjoy in his perufing her let. • ters. These was no fear of their being ken by any but himfelf. He fhould leave diredions for the box containing them to be burnt when he was dead ; but one of them, particularly kind, he was determined fbotild be put into his coffin. Mr. Er fkinefaid it would be an idle wage of time were be to offer any comments upon thefe documents.— They (poke fufficiently for themfelves. It was now proved beyond a poffibility of contradiction, that the Plaintiff had been deprived of the affedions of a once amiable wife, that a fporions iffue had been palmed upon him, and that his peace of mind had been irrecoverably broken. For (Lich injuries, to receive a compenfation was impoffible, but as far as this could be done by pecuniary damages, the Jury would fee that he was fully compenfated. he then ARRIVED PORTSMOUTH, MAY 27.
