The quarrel between the Arnauts and the Mame lukes was caused by the latter refusing to pay the former what was due to them of their pay. To ob tain it, therefore, they laid Cairo under a heavy contribution, which caused an insurreftion, which forced them to desist. They then attacked the Ma. melukes. Hursehit Pacha, the late Governor of f Cairo, though he resides as a private person at Alexandria, is supposed to have instigated the Ar n.auts in this affair, who, after their viaory, invited him to revime his former government at Cairo. It is, however, yet uncertain whether the Porte will . confirm him in a place already given to the famous Gliczzar IktILAN, MAY 2.

LAN DON, FRIDAY, MAY Q. The llamburgh Mail due on Weancs.lay arrived Yesterday. The most important article of its con tents is 1 rescript of:the Emperor of Rersi A, expres sing in the strongest terms his apprnbati u o o t* eandua of Count Ms aitotr, in his embassy at Paris, and conferring upon him an annuity of 12 000 roubles. Athongh this re,c-tpi is dated so far back as the 15th day of February, it was not m tele publicly known, until the Ist of May. From this circumstance, it would seem, that the Emrssoa had some time made up hit mind, as to the line of condud which he should follow, respeding Box .A PAR rr, although it might not have been prudent to avow it sooner. Indeed we have reason to believe, that a steady, vigorous, and determined Government in this country, that should enjoy the confidence of the Continental Powers ; might, if so inclined, have long since united them in a coalition against BUN*. PARTL ; and that they have only been waiting tiar such a Government to declare themselves. Upon the subjed of coalition., we may observe, that it was the murder of one Bou noN, of Lot' is XVI. in 1793, that mended the chain of a loyal confederacy against rebellion, from the borders of the Rhine, and from the foot of the Nips, to the tops of the Pyrenees; that lighted the torches of civil war in the bosom of France, and shook the very foun dation of her regicide Republic. Unfortunately for the quiet of the world, FREDERIC WILLIAM 11. the head of this league, posses..ed not those virtues and talents necessary to succeed in crushing an anarchy that stooped to every thing, and respoded nothing ; that employed alike intrigues and bribes, plots and plunder, to embroil state, ; upon whose union depended enth ely whether innocence should cease to suffer, or guilt to prosper; whether the regicides should receive the chastisement due to their enormities, or continue to insult the virtuous and loyal by their farther impunity. A man, who was at that period a subaltern assassin only, has now, in the height of power, wantonly stained his hands in the blood of another BOURBON Another MONARCH ; whose virtues are as eminent as his ta lents are undeniable, calls therefore !.ow all civilised and independent nations to revenge i ra!:k, to defend outraged humanity, and to arm in a cause equally interesting tnthe liberties of subj.-as, and the prerogatives of Navereigns. Experience tics tanght people yet free, that the destruilion of the • a polising power of die French Republic is alp, necessary for the preservation of their freedne. , and the examples of Spain, Portugal, and Naples, have convinced all other laNfilt Princes, that the can never reign with safety, should they I.mger endue , Bori•eaara's tyranny. Should a s-coalitain be formed, past errors and present sufferings will, we hope, teach all parties to make a common elf srt in a common cause, against a common enemy; to banish national jealousies and hatred, if they de-ire to con quer a monster that threatens to. devout them all. By isolating their respective interests. and by re garding a war with revolutionary Feare., in the SAM light as a war with the F..meh maw re:iy ; by sometimes despising the rep iblicans ma much, and at other times by dreading tiiem bescral mimeure disunion formerly crept il, conteinnt ctien laid aside vigilance, and terror neutralised vigour itself; whilst the dangerous foes continued a systematic warfare, equally successful tinder diffireat repub lican tyrants—under ROBRSPIERRi as un le , RUN A. r Aare. During the first coalition of 1, 7 9 1, Russia remained neuter with the other leaps d ;sowers, though a declared enemy to France ; but zipaim Portugal, and Pi sssia, united their armies with those of aMgland, Austria, anJ Germany. Daring the second coalition of 1 799, Spain and Prussia were neutrals or allies with France, whilst die armies of Russia conquered laurels in Germ any as weU as in Italy and in Switzerland. During both these coalitions, Sweden and Denmark continued to maintain their impolitic neutrality. The with drawing of the Russian troops in IROO procured Bo naparte those viaories which commanded the peace of I.uneville. We mention this only to shew, that it Russia and Austria alone • might, in 1800, have I I kept the Republicans on this side of the Alps; when united with the Courts of Sweden and Denmark, Europe may yet hope fur its deliverance, and joy. shy may yet triumph over rebellion, even without the assistance of Prussia, whose selfish policy is always doubtful, and always to be mistrusted. The late note of the RUSSIAN MONARCM to the Diet of Ratisbon is regarded by most politicians as a fore runner of a new or third league against France, in which, nn doubt, Spain, Portugal, and Naples will he invited to join. Should these States be weak enough not to take this opportunity to shake off the degrading yoke of Republican France, the policy of England certainly requites not to endure their neutrality, in greatly advantageous to France, but 1,1:ow, in this case, her example of 1800, and treat every state as an enemy that does not combat as a friend the common enemy of mankind. As to Turkey, its interest is the same a'. that of Eng land, Austria, and Russia, and the Divan will, and must follow the imput e given Gl:cc i re ponderating Powers Lt Europe. It was reported yesterday, that BON•P ART I', im mediately after the receipt of t!ie note from the Russian Charge d'Affaires, at Paris, sent an order to St. Petersburgh, to his Min:ster there, to have Russia, without taking lease, and that TALLLV RAtsD had sent his passes to the Russian Charg• d'Affaires, informing him that his stay in Frare would be dispensed with. This news is said to 1.a...e been received by an American Gentleman, who left Patis on the 18th, at which period the Procla mation Of BONAPAR E. as Emperor, had been decreed to take place on the COtl:, all over France ; orders having been sent by extra couriers, and by the telegraphs, to that drat. There was a rumour at Paris, that the American Minister, I..iviNosrme, had brought over such a /dm! plan for a Peace, that the good Parisians expected Jvh,t Bak would be abk to go over to France to see BONA. PARTE'S Coronation, which report had then fixed for the 1 Ith of July. Mr. LIVINGSTON has published his opinion of our country and of our councils, in an abusive pam phlet, against the Tyrants of thr S,av, and in his late answer to TA L LEVRAND, upon the subject of the pretended correspondence of Mr. DIZAKE, Wll ch we hope our Ministers will not forget. Count Dit K•LISCH re is the Russian Nobleman appointed the successor at our Court, of the present worthy Russian Ambassador, Count De WORON• 20PV. Count Dc K• LISCIIEF was, in 1800, sent by the Emperor Pala as his Amlsitssador to Ito- srsfatTel from which place he was recalled by the present EMPEROR, in 1801, and succeeded by Count fitseitorr. He is a Nobleman well versed in the politics of Europe, but was formerly sus pected of some paitiality for the French faction at St. Petersburgh. We ate, sorry to confirm part of the unpleasant in telligence, reported yesterday from Fort Marlbro'. Admiral ',mots, in an eighty gun ship, with severed frigateg, appeared off that place, the latter end of I )ecenther, when the Commissioner, who has charge of the Government there, caused all the public and private stores to be destroyed, and re treated will the British inhabitants, up the country. Admiral Livros, not thinking the settlement of suffi cient consequence to detain him, left the island, and is generally supposed to be gone after the China fleet. We are positively assured, no account has been received of the loss of the Cardin( frigate, as stated in severalof yest rday's papers. The Caroline left the homeAard.:round fleet some time after the appear ance of Admital Luxor% before Fort Marlbro'. 'lhe squadron under Admiral H A ars' N had not effeeted a junetion with LiNois. Ey letters from the Cape, it appears considerable apprimisions wete entertained for the safety of His Majesty's sloop of war, Ratficanatir, as she was sup posed to have fallen in with the enemy.

The above ships, it was generally understood, were shortly to sail from the Cape to cruise off the island of St. Helena, where, it is apprehended, they wsll do considerahle mischief. Six thousand troops were expelled at the rape from France. The Pursers oithe following ships attended at the Fast India t louse yesterday, and received their final ipatch , s, for China and the respeaive Presidencies in India, with which dry immediately proceed to join the* shtps, Pnrtsinnuth.
