THE intelligence -which was yesterday received by Government from Lord Eicix, and which we had the pleasure to communicate in part of our Im pression, was brought from Vienna by Mr. FKERE, and was last night published in the following LONDON GAZETTE .EXTRAORDINARY. D owning-S t reef , July 15, iBot.. DISPATCHES, of which the following are Copies, have been this day received from the Earl of Elgin, by the Right Honourable Lord Hawkesbury, His Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Clnstan. 4 inq 4 sP, Irene i 801 . MY LORD) An opportunity for writing to Europe having oc. curred, I avail myself of it to mention to your Lordship some further Details from Egypt, which have just reached me it' a pi:•ate Letter from Lord Keith, dated 22d May. The Enemy, after quitting Rabmania, made a wonderful march, aad reached. Cairo on the r tit of May. It is supposed they then advanced to attack, the Vizir at Belbeis. General Hutchinson, who was in -his progress from Rahmania towards Cairo, had, by the aid of the Arabs, taken a Convoy of Five, Hundred Ca mels, with their Escort of Six Hundred Men. It was destined for Alexandria, which is understood to be in great want of same Articles of Provisions and of Water. General Hutchinson, in his march up the Country, observes, that the Inhabitants are in the highest degree incensed against thc,French, put_ ting to death every one that falls into their hands, Admiral Blankest, in his Letters to Lord Keith, of N ' the 6th, acquaints him with the arrival of the Rein forcements from India under the Command of General Baird, Colonel Wellesley, Colonel Murray, &c. After the surrendering of Damietta, a Corps of seven hundred men embarked on the Lake Burlos for Fiance, and were taken by Lord Keith. I have the honour to be; &c. 'ELGIN. I Right Hon. Lord Hawkesbury, • Eec, &c. MY LORD, Constantixoge, June 8, I 801. A Messenger is thi3 moment come in from Loid Keith, whose private Letter 1 be& leave to tran_ scribe, Of Alexandria, May z 3, 18ot ec By a Letter I have received from the Capitan Pacha, dated at KemesherifF on the 19th, His Ex. celleticy informs me that the Secretary of the Grand Vizir had arrived with the agreeable intelligence of the French and Cophts having moved forward frpm Cairo to attack the Vizir's Army, but that His Highness had advanced with his Artillery and Ca valry-, defeated the Enemy, and forced them to retreat." Lord Keith appears to have had no further de. tails of this important Aftion. I have the to be, &c. ELGIN, (Sig,ned) Right Hon. Lvut,H;r7..ukesivig, &C. ~i~C. F:'C. IN a subsequent Column is to be found the Note from thelianoverian Ministry, respeCting the withdrawing of the Prussian Troops from the Elec. torate. Notwithstanding the evacuation of ,Bremen by the Prussians, the town of Bremen remains still covered by the Posts established on the Ems and the Haza, and by a Regiment of Cuirassiers cantoned at Wilishaurea. These Military precautions which the Prussians have never ceased to adopt since the occupation of the Dutchy of Bremen by them, have been considered by the Public as founded on no serious grounds, but are to be attributed to the mistrust which has for some time been established between the Cabinets of Berlin and Paris. The latter, if we are to give credit to private Let ters, considers War, if we may so say, as inevit able, if Russia remains the firm and faithful Ally of Prussia. In the contrary alternative, the latter Court would be easily forced to do whatever might be required of it. It is with a view to this that the , Cabinet of the Thuilleries has, for some time past adopted such conciliatory conind towards that of Fie/ma ;—,it holds out to it At this moment, ;Is a bait, the recovery of Silesia, a seducing objea, to which we flatter ourselves thg House of Austria will yet have firmness enough to resist. We think, that although all the measures of military precau tion which it adopts at this moment relate to Bohr 7111q, AfQrarpia, and Silesia,- yet if that Power should, again take up atrus, it wi4l rather 4e against F taac e than any other Enemy, 1111 1 p,,r 4 g . 4_1 1 4 1 4e 7 c NAVAL ?

" What:think you of the meditated bruiting march between your friend DOUGLAS and the , Se.. millante ? I have just seen a Gentleman from Nor_ folk, who informs, that the Boston is constantly off the Capes off Virginia, and that she anchors every night off the light-house. He adds, what clearly indicates the design of Captain DOUGLAS, that an Officer of the Boston remains at Norfolk in disguise; and that, ,whenever the Semillante weighs anchor, or makes the slighest movement, this Officer also makes sail in a pilot-boat, to watch the motions of the Enemy. " You will perceive, that ow- Squadron have no right to interfere, if DouGLAs is cautious enough to let the Frenchman get three miles. After that distance, Capt. DALE and Capt. BAINBRIDGE, or any other Commander, may aft as bottle holders only."

THE ROYAL FAMILY last night went to the Theatre to see the Play of The Mowitainerrs, and the Farce of The Spoil'd Chill, in which Master WORDSWORRif performed the part of Little Pickle with great spirit. This morning the KING and Attendants walked on the Esplanade before breakfast. At eleven o'clock_the Rorrn, FAMILY, accom panied by Earl RostAN; Earl and Countess of I.lx- BRIDGE and Daughter, Lord and Lady AUDLEY, Lord and Lady-RoLLE, Mrs. GRANT, and Mss. DRAKE, embarked from the Pier in His Majesty's Barge to go on board the Queen Charlotte Yacht. When the Yacht came opposite the - Pier Head a Royal Salute was fired from the Charlotte, when the Attguttut, Hydra and Fortune followed the ROYAL FAmmr - tan their - aquatic exctusion, which was the first this season. Two Hamburgh Mails still remain due. f It •is said, that by command of the DUKE of YORK, circular . Letters have been sent to all the Commanding Officers of the different Volunteer Corps of the Metropolis and its vicinity, to muster in Hyde-Park on,Wednesday- next, the 22d instant, to he reviewed by His Royal Highness, who will be on the ground at ten o'clock. Yesterday a Court of Direaors was held at the East India House, which adjo-urnecl at six o'clock till Wcdnesddy nem. It was reported at Vienna, when the Post of the 24Th came awa7, that the English had taken Alex. andria by storm. This report, however, was not very generally credited. MOR EAU has such a high charmer among the Military in France, that if he is really upon bad terms with BONAPARTE, the latter has in him one of the most formidable enemies that hits yet risen against him, It is hardly, however, to be sup_ posed that they will come bziap open rupt ure , f or a contest for power would, probably, in the end, are be the ruin of both. The Jac o bi ns , at present , , " not loud, but deep," in their designs, and con, stantly on the watch to take advantage of any op.. portunity, and bring their principles into aCtiori against the dominion of any Individual. MONSIEUR, and some of the higher Nobility _of France are, it is said, i nv i te d to Wobuin. Mr, Fox, of course, will not be of the Party, as he haft so often shewn a marked antipathy to the unfortn.. nate House of Bourbon. Since Mr. Fox made his memorable attempt at a joke, about a lack boot's jack-boot, several itinerant dealers have carried boon through the streets in re. commendation of klachin g . We have not heard whether this sable conqaund is dignified by the name of Mr. Fox, as inventor or conswner, but certain it is, that few men iu the world have a greater skill in blackening. A difference, we understand, has arisen between a certain Political Preacher and a certain Patriot. The Clerical Politician, it seems, contributed two guineas to the memorable Subscription for the fuondam leader of the Blue and Zittirsftiad. A subscription has recently been On foot for the Priest, and the Patriot was expelled to contribute his mite in return. The Patriot, however, declined, apparently adverse to any Subscription except in fa, your of himself. If it were possible that a certain Sermon "should ever get into a Second Edition, the whole of .this interesting dispute would, pe rhaps, be detailed in C o pi ous A nnotat i ons, b ut at present the matter is muggied up for , the honour of .thi Party, Mr. ERSKINE on a late trial made a very good. humoured allusion to his late disappointment of the fortune left him by a political admirer; he was in 3 great degree deprived by-the want of a due cowl nor with legal formality. This we regret as much as his warmest partizan, as far as it affects Linz personally. It has lately- been the ton, among People of Fa. .shion, to .order a Supper at the Star and Garter at Richmond Hill, on Opera nights. This high-47,y4 repast was to be ready at twelve o'clock, but the Company seldom contrived to come earlier than four in the morning, and this silly. dissipation is likely to continue to the end of the Season. The description given on a late trial, of one of the Creditors of the famous Miss RoaEaTsoN, was such as most'of those who had the misfortune to by conneEted with her inigtg envy : " a m an , , , sa id the Counsel, " who had as good eyes as any ote, and who did not gape and let people steal the teeth out of his mouth." From all the accounts that have hitherto tran spired respeding " the life, charaeter and behaviour" of Miss koa E aTsoN, the 'generous Patroncrs of Black., heath, it seems hardly probable that she could have chosen .any scene of action throughout the United Kingdom in which she would have had her designs suppertcd by so large a portion of amiable credulity. A Madagascar Savage now amuses • the go o d people of Paris as the successor of that of Avey ron. He is about 20 years of aage, lives on raw meat, rejels all cloathing, and is both deaf and feeble, He utters a weak cry when in distress, and has been known to swallow both stones and iron. LITERATURE,-.-Those who amuse . themselves with the " Follies of the Wise," or at least of those who arrogate to themselves that title, will find mat ter for Mirth in hearing that the Authors of the new Dictionary, which is :o settle the French lan. guage, and to give stability w the phraseology shall think proper to adopt, have stumbled at the threshold, and been puvhied and thrown into a state of altercation by the letter A. The Dictionary of the Academy has stamped as classical these phrases . : " There were in the Assembly from four to jive' women" (six a Sept femmes)—" The distance from_ my country-house is four or five leagues" (4 ou s lieues), Now, say some of the Institute, these ex pressions are absurd, as there can be no fralion of a woman, and there may be of a league ; .the ex pression should therefore be reversed. It is hardly necessary to observe, that if part of the Literati think so, the other part are decisively of a different opinion. 13a1 the Mil lit ) Tee, der Ro : 211s1 late VOI it nior thes try.
