The following intelligence has been received by Viscount Castlereagh, one of his Majesty's Pri n cipal SriTeTaT-W'of State, from Major General Alexander Mllcenzie Fraie'r, aliniisilding his Majesty's Land Forces, in Egypt, transmitted in. a....Letter_irnm..the Right Hon.

Wauchope and Brigadier-Gen. :Mee*, for that purpose. I am now under the disagreeable necessity of ac quainting you, that, contrary to all expe&ation, this measure did -not ,suceeed. Out troops tOok'pOsses- sinu.of the Height s• of Abourmanclout'. (which- coiu mand the town) without. any 'loss ;' but, frorn_eir eumstances as yet unexplained, the:General, instead of keeping his post there, unfortunately was tempt ed. to go into..the town, with his - whole force, with out. any previous examination of it 3. when the.tioops were so severelyhandledfrom the windpws,a4 tops of houses, without ever seeing their enemy, that it wi - N . thought - expedient to - retire, more - especiallyys Major-Gen:Wauchope WasUnfortunateli , killed,-and the Second in Command, Brigadier-Gen. Meade, severely wounded. The.troops, I understand, although 'certainly pla ced in a most trying and perilous situation, nahaved extremely well ; and after 'having suffered, I am tio 9 - 37. t o say, very materially in , killed.an+wounded, (as you Will see by the annexed returns), retired to Atioukir, in good order, without molestation, - from whence I direCted them to return to Alexalidria This has certainly been a very heavy and unex rOted stroke upon us, more especially as every in jormat ion led me to conclude that the opposition, if ti ns, xvould be trifling ; - and every precaution was I . , :.commended that prudence could suggest. . Finding, however, by the renewed representation of Major Missett, corroborated by.the personal appli cation of the Sorbagi, or Chief MooiStrate, in the Dame the ; - eople,,at large, that a f c :nnitie '\vould be the certain and immediate consequence. of otir re= Enninti at Alexandria. without...the .Occupation of Rosetta, I' have, with the concurrence, advice, and coroperation of Rear AdMiral Sir Thos. Louis (who commands the Squadron here since the departure of- Sir John Duckworth), detached another Corps, un-: der the command of the _quo. prigadier-Gen: Stew art and Col. Oswald (as per margin *) to etrea this ptirpose, without-which it appears impossible that the measure proposed by his Majtsty'S'Minister s , o f keeping possession of Alexandria, can 'be accom plished. Extract of a Dispatch from .Major-General Fraser to ,General 11w piglet Hon. R. Z. Fox, dated on board His Majesty's Slzip.Canopus, Aboukir Bay, April 24, 1807. I have the mortification to acquaint you, that the second attempt • that I thought necessary td Make against Rosetta has tailed, owing to a great 'rem frce ment of the enemy being . setir the .Nile from Cairo, w icli overpowered our -troops, and obliged them to tall hack ith the 1 - w - S (I am grieved to say) of nearly 1000 men in Milled, wounded, and tiis s in g . Among the latter ate Lieut.-Colonet M‘Leod, Major Vogelsang, and Major Mohr, Brigadier-Gen. Stew art, who commanded the troops on this service, is only now upon his march towards Alexandria with the remainder of his toree, and has not' vet sent me the details ; but as the Admiral thinks it necessary to dispatch the Wizard Brig immediately from this. Bay to Messina, I think it nt cessar . y to - give you all the information I am at present in session of, and shall send you the particulars ot this unfortunate affair by his Majesty's Ship . Thundererothich will leave Alexandria very soon ; and as I have not time to acquaint his Majesty's Ministers of this event by this opportunity, I. must request you to have the • goodness to do it as soon as possible. , . .• , Return of Killed and Wounded of the Army in the Adion of the 3 fst .

The'Supplement to the Gazette of Saturday_ con firms the melancholy intelligence from Egylk; which wasfirst: inserted in 1-HE SUN.,.Cii'Thursi . day last. We .bave strong reason- totfear. that-our loss in the t secotld Aaion .found,to. be greater thanit was. at first supposed to be. lye"undet:stOd, that-of 2500 well, detached under-Gen: STewlikr, not above pne:tllousatld,. rgturned to Alexandria-. _ . The severe losS which we sus t a i ne d was in aqgreat„ degree owing- to the great numbers of the Enemy's - - Cavalry. They were enabled to approach very near Gen. STEWART'S -detachment,: and ; indeed,- almost to suirbuncl ii, without being seen,, in Consequence Of a very thick fog.-4 ; appears highly probable . that Alexaudrra lias been ei-asfuated: • Somr—French.dnd- Dutch Papers arrived last night ; they are of one day's lafer date than those which had previously reached us. • It appears that the, ' Turkish Admiral has not•yet made:his threatened attack upon the 'British - and Squadrons ,he • remained, on the gist o f : April, •with 'his Fleet, quietly before i Galhpoli. Letters from Venice state that great apprehensions' prevail at Constantinople of a scarcity of provisiqns, as the navigation to that Capital is completely intercepted' by the British and Russian Squadrons. The rumours of a pending ne gotiation are 'sun repeakec with confidence. • TILE - Bertice Packet,' frpth' Berbice, 'arrived at Liverpool, spoke an American Vessel on the Ist of June, from Buenos Ayres for London, the Master of which informed them, that BUeoos Ayres .. had. been retaken by the English, previous to their sail ing.' We have been so often deCeived by the reports of:American Captains, that-we are not disposed to give Oeui much credit ; but we think‘it highly pro bable that that cven'tmaY have, taken place. Ties Regiment of FBolu which, was lately guilty of such disgracetul conduit at Malta, has been disbanded, and '.the Officers placed en second in :other Regiments. A very . severe'attaek was made upon the present Ministers, i❑ a Moming Paper a few days ago; for sending the usual Circular Letter, requesting a• full attendance at'the meeting of Parliament. The lat e Administration have, however, thought propel-1 9 adopt the same means for colletcling their strength, at'the opening of the Campaign, and the following Letter has been circulated among their friend's : " A Division will certainly take place on the first day o f " the Sessions, and on account of the extreme importance of " the occasion, the attendance of those who hollowed the •' late Adthinistration with their support is moat iiitrticu la; ly and earnestly requested. "To —, Esq. NI. &c. " Stratton -street, Jun;; 6." It appears rather singular the Writer of the above. Letter should know « that a Division would certainly take place on the first day of - the Session," without knowing one single wordof the Speech which will be delivered from the Throne, or of the Address which will be proposed. • WE understand that .the subjea of the compensa tion to Sir H. MIt.DMAY for the use . of his House and the occupation of his Park, by the Military' Works near Chelmsford, will be fully explain,- ed at the meeting of Parliament, and we, there fore, abstain from saying any thing on it at pre sent. W. lament that some of our cotemporaries haVe, for party purposes, so grossly perverted the Report of the Com Missioners of Military Inquiry •on that head : we • shall only remark, that, the Lease for Monlsham Hall appears •to have been settled, and the Ael to relieve .Sir 11. MILDMAY passed during the Administration - of Mr. ADDING TON, to whose government it is well known Sir H. MILDMAY was in constant opposition ; and that the compensation Which' he receives for the occupation of his park was awarded, on a view, by a Special: Jury, composed of the most respe6table Gentlemen • and Magistrates of the County of EsSex. 1 .

On the i" . ill),' late' in the evening, We Cliscoverea two Guarda - Costa:Schooners under • the land, and by stderirigva'suitable.course to cut theni otr from Porto Bello, we, after fourteen hours Chpting, on the 27th captured them both ; they were El Postil lon of one-twelve-pounder, two six-ponnderS; atid eventy-six.men, and El ; Cartnen; of obe - twelve pounder, foAir'six-pounders, and seventy-two men, both -commanded -by—Lieutenants -of • the - Span islr Navy, and were from Carthagena, . bound to Porto Bello. With•these Vessels in company, on the rst of February, a Convoy of Market-book, protedled by two - Guu-boats and an .Armed Schooner, were fallen in with ; the former were driven on - sh Ore, •but the"' latter took ref - Lige in a Creek of Zispata Bay, - pro teaed by a four-gun battery. I followed them into the Bay, and in a short time silenced the Fort ; • but not being able to get at the Gun -boats with the Ship, the Lark - was anchored - at a convetrtent and with the whole of our crew (twenty men ex cepted, on board the Prizes,) I proceeded to attack them. • . The Spaniards . rowed out. to meet us, and keeping up a -resolute fire, approachedtill" we closed, when they fled ; thiS moment was seized to. board the sternmost of the Enemy, 'carrying a long twenty font- pounder and two six-pounders; she ran on shore, but vas carried after a desperate resistance, in ..which, of sixteen men;: -- three - were - disable, 'and— mys,!lf wounded. But 'here our success ended, for in following the others up the Creek, the Pilot triised I he channel, and ran the Schooners on shore, without any prospect olgetting them off; the •aCtioti was.theretbre continued in anti. :situation until. 'five o'clock, when. Mr. Pound (the Purser), and two more men, being added to the list Of wounded, I gO'e up the ,attetupt, direding Lieutenant 801 l to set the'Schooners on fire, and tocover' the retreat. The Carmen blew up,, and the Postilion was iii I flames; 'arid otherwise . so much disabled', that she must be lost to the Enemy. -The godd'coratad or UR- Laries Officers afid-Crer— entitle them twiny thanks, and I trust theirexer tivnsJnay be rewarded by:better fortune on a future occasion. y I am, &c.

According to private accounts said to hare been received from Holland, there is at present a great agitation in that unhappy country, arising from the differences which have taken place between the King and Queen, They have, it is said; been separated some time, and are likely never to come together aoain. The Queen has contrived to induce her mo ther, the Empress of France, to believe her story, and the latter has espoused her interest so strongly as to influence BONAPARTE in her cause. Poor King Louis has, in consequence, received violent remon strances from his Imperial Brother, who ativally re fused to admit some, Deputies from the former into ' his presence. This treatment, according to the same accounts, has had such an effect on King Louis, that he has thought proper to adandon his throne, and has wandered no man knows whither. The Govern ment has been assumed , provisionally by six Coun4 cillors of State, who expeCt every moment that a mi litary Politician will arrive from -BONAPA ItTE, charged with a new Constitution, to secure the liberty and 'property of the good people of Holland.
