Commander in Chief of His Majesty's Ships and vessels in the Meditertanean, to Evan Nepean, Esy.dated on board the Foudroyant, in the Bay of Aboukir, moth March, rfiot. SIR, My Dispatches ofthe zd ult. by the Speedwell, Will have a cquainted you, for the information of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, that, the Armament on that day quitted the . Harbour of T,I:o-marice for-this place, which the whole Fleet reached on the zd instant, the Turkish Gun Boats and Kaicks excepted, all of which bore up, by - right, for Macri, Cyprus,- and other Ports, during the prevalence of strong Westerly Gales that we en countered on the Passage. Too much of the Day of our Arrival here had elapsed, before all the Ships Could get to Anchor. age; to - admit of the landing being effeCled before the approach of Night ; and an unfortunate suc l • Cession of strong Northerly gales, attended by a heavy swell, rendered it impossible to dislmbark - before .the Bth. The necessary preparations were made on the pi eceding evening.. The Boats began to receive the . Troops at two o'clock in the morn big,, and at three the signal - was made for their pro ceeding to rendezvous near the Mondovi, anchored • about a gun shot from the shore, where it had been determined that they were to , be assembled and properly arranged : but such was the extent of the anchorage 4ccupied by so large a Fleet, and so great the distance of many of them from any one given point, that it was not till nine the signal could he • made • for the Boats to advance towards the shore. The , whole Line immediately began to move - Ivith .great celerity towards.. the Beach, between the Castle of Aboukir and the entrance of the . Sed, under the diredion of the, Honourable Capt. Cochrane, of His Majesty's Ship the Ajax, assisted • by Captains Stevenson, Scott, Larmour, Apthorpe, - and Morrison,. of the Europa, Stately, Diadem; Drtud, and Thisbe, and the respective Agents of Transports, the right flank being proteaed by the Cruelle Cutta, and the Dangerewe, and Janissacy, Gun vessels, and the left by the Entreprenantece“ ter, Malta Schooner, and Negresse• Gun.vessel, with two honcho of the Fleet on each,. armed for the purpose of supplying the places of the Turkish Gun-vessels, 'of, whose service I.had been deprived. 'Snitch, of the ' Captain Sir -Sidney I tgre, with the Capiaihs Ribe ic au , Saville, Burn, and Hil. l f t he Astrea; Eurus, Experime nt , Blonde and 1 / cigc.r, joi ppointed with a detachment o f Seamen, rdco-operate with the Army, had the charge of the • Launches, with the Field Artitlery accompanying, the Troops. he_'Tartarus and Fury were placed i n proper situations for throwing shot and shells with advantage ; and . the Petterell, Cameleon, and Minorca, were moored as near as possible, with their broadsides to the shore.' The Enemy had not failed to avail himself of the Unavoidable delays to which we had been exposed, for strengthening the naturally difficult Coast to - Which we were to approach.. The whole Garrison of Alexandria, said to amount to near three Thou. sand Men, reinforced With many, small Detachments that had been observed to advance' from-the Rossetta Branch, was appointed for its defence. - Field Pieces were placed on the most commanding Heights, and in the intervals of the numerous Sand Hills which cover the Shore, all of which were lined with ,Musquetry : the Beach on either Wing being flanked with Cannon, and parties of Cavalry held in readi. }less to advance; The fire of the Enemy was successively opened from their Mortars and Field Pieces ' .as the Boats •,' got within their reach : and as they approached to the Shore, the excessive discharge of grape.shot and of musquctry from behind the Sand. Hills seem red. to threalen theM with destration, while the Castle of Aboukir on the Right Flank maintained a constant and harrassing discharge of large shot and shells-; but the ardour of our Officers and Men was not to be damped, No moment of hesitation inter. vened.. _The Beach was arrived at, a Footing oh. . tanned; the, Troops advanced, and the Enemy fbrced to relinqttish all the advantageous Positions which .they had held. • . The Boats returned without delay for the SecOnd Di v i s i o n; and before the evening the whole Army, w i t h few exceptions-, was landed, with such At.- " titles of Provisions and Stores as required the most immediate attention. • I refer to the General's Report for the loss sus -tained by the Army in this dangerous and difficult Service. I enclose the Casualties of the Squadron . and Transports, and feel much satisfaaion in con.
