LONDON, MAY 16, - WE yesterday stated the arrival of Lieut. Colt,- Err of the Navy, with Dispatches from Er_vit, and accurately communicated to our Readers the most important parts of their contents; These Dispatches contain the details of the Battle of the 21st, and of all the events in Egypt . prior to that date, which werc last night published in the London Ga tette Extraordinary, inserted in our preceding Columns. To this we refer-for the particutars of our Viaory, which it will be seen, is complete, and on the extent of which 'we can congratulate our Countrymen, though , we must at thef same time condole with them on the 'melancholy, event of the death of so many brave. men, and particularly on i t h at o f t h e ir gallant and experienced COMmander • Sir RALOH Aaf.itc : RoMtY, who expired on the 28th in consequence of his wounds. He died as he lived, in the service of his Country, and the ad vancement of its.iiiterests. A valuable. Member of Society, a virtuous Man, and an able General ; he has left to his Family the Honour:, of his Name, tin .4, his Companions in Arms the example of his Condud, an d to his Countryme, motives iOr gratitude and • ; aduilration. • The , account of the Optratioas of the Army coll_ tained in the London Gazette Extraordinau, would - no doubt alone be considered as highly satisfactory, but we are enabled it' , private Letters to add many fats which must have a considerable efFea on ili success of . our Expedition. After the Aftion of the zzst March, several Deserters, among whom were forty Cavalry, came in from the French Army - t they stated that the Republicans were completely dispirited . ' at their Defeat ; that besides Generals . LANUSSE (on whose talents . the MOniteur has so, much calculated), Raiz*, .and BODET, two ,other Generals were killed and three wounded. Among the latter was General REGNIER, an Officer belov ed and esteemed by the whole Army. The entire Regiment of Grenadiers which bore the name of the First Consul; is stated to have been destroyed, and the -IF:Tined)le Standard of Bonaparte is hroitglit home in the Flora, an evidence of. our triumph.— The CAPTAIN • PACHA had joined Lord KEITH'S Fleet with six Ships and 5000 Men, and more. were shortly expefted. The GRAND VIZIER'S Army, ha 4 been reinforced ivith an equal number of Men . _ -from GHF.ZER . PAC HA'S Troops, and was moving forward to Cairo.' Nor was the s.trergth . of their Enemies all That the French had to contend with ; their Allies were deserting them in the hour of dif ficulty. MOVIIRAD BEY had already sent to Up. per Egypt to - olitain forgiveness for having . afted in conjunction with the _Republicans. The situation-ofour own Army is represented as favourable as could be wished. Their position be _ fcire Alexandria was - - so strong, that there was no • fear entertained "of their being attacked. The Army was healthy, and in high spirits, and sup. plied from the Country with every article of which it stood in need. This circumstance alone prow es the wisdom of General HtricHiNsotes condua in cultivating his advantage,• and improving his situa tion, instead of exposing his Army to any farther loss by an immediate attack on the strongly forti fied position into which the defeated Army of the Enemy had retired. His objeEt was to possess himself of Rhatnania, and to cut °flail communica. tion with Alexandria, which he had no doubt of ef feaing. The Deserters stated that the Trench lost . above 3000 men in the Battie of the 21st,. and this agrees with Gen. Hutc H I NS 0 res Dispatch. The immediate consequence of our viaory ar). peaks to have been that' General UUTc H t NSON vas enaWed to dc Coluitcl t, NCtR 6g4init \ and another Corps of .000 men against Rhamamia. The former would - open the communication with the'Vzzixes Army. The possession Of Rhaman;a would leave the Fredich without communication or supplies, except on the side of the Desert, where the Arabs were in determined hostility against them. • • It appears, after . deduaing every possible loss, that our Army must still consist Of nearly 13,e0c, Men, exclusive of Seamen, and the Turkish rein_ forcements ; while that of the Enemy, from the numbers brought into Afton on the ztst, could not after the Battle,' exceed from $OOO to 9000 Men. The combination of all these Fa(a proves our :decided Superiority. Such .has been the result el this - Baitit, Which strengthens the establishment of Our Troops in .Egg t, and makes the ultititate Ciin queit of that Country almost certain, though it may have,been delayed for a shorter or a longer pe riod of time. ,Every day must add. to she advan tage of our situation, and 'must deteriorate that of our nicny. Tills morning arrived the 'Hamturgb Mail due on Wednesday last. It brings no intelligence respelling Egypt so late as the Official Dispatches received yesterday ; and the accounts in the articles from Constanti apple, relative to the Battle of the 21st of March, only serve to shew us, with what caution we ought to receive such vague representations , of events. At .a conference.held at the Danish Head-Quar ters near Hamburgh,between the PR tmc E ofHESSE, the Prussian Envoy M. ScHut.z,-and Sir JAhte , , CRAUFURD, the iritish Resident at Hamburgh, it was agreed that the Elbe is again to be open to all Flags. The arrival of more Prussian Troops in the Elec torate of Hanover is . expeEted. The movements of the Prussian Troops are now considered on the Con.. tinenr, as measures of precaution against the present or future views of BONAPARTE. Private accounts from Paris, concur in stating that the Chief Consul is not at all pleased with the condua tSf Prussia ; but he suppresses his ill-humour till'he knowspo, sitively what line the young, EMPEROR of Russt w means to pursue. A Messenger arrived this morning at Lord I-TAKESSURY'S Office from Lord C‘,IIYSFORT, UT Berlin, with the intelligence which we have above ,tated, of the Elbe being again opened for our Commerce, as usual. . , k ei t v..... - .F . :) , "'„;.*,.,r' / 14 7 1.

Sir ROBERT CALDER having lost sight of GANTHEAUME'S Squadron on the 4th of April, and wisely 'judging that a day'S delay would be of great consequence, sailed immediately for Alex. andria. It is uuneCessary to .state what great ad vantages must result to the Egyptian - Expedition from the accession of Sir ROBERT CALDER'S force, which, it will be remembered, consists of seven ships of the line. A Letter from Madeira, dated 26th March, says, 44 I have the pleasure to inform you, that Captain Ga.t.FFITH, in the Diamond Frigate, has driven on shore, and totally destroyed La Mouihe Privateer, which has done so much mischief near this Island : he drove her on shore on the Island of Gomm, 0 " of the Canaries." -The .

Tti E Ordinance of PAUL L prohibiting the ex. portation of commodities from Russia, has had a distressing cife& on our commerce; the trade of the Black Sea is entirely ruined, and the corn and materials for fitting out the Fleet, which had bt!en onntraftoci for on tile Climea, have been expeaed in vain, The Porte appears to be in no small per_ plexity on account of Russia, as there is ,a strong Russian Fleet in the Black Sea, ratty to sail, and an Army of 40,000 Russians on the frontiers of Moldavia.
