THE HAMBURG H. MAIL. VIENNA, Auc:.i. - . Yrs - rERDAY morning the English Am4bastadoi here, Lord Mrryro,, received . a Courier Lord 1 .9114 at Constavittholle,• and in the afternoon he co mmunicated 'the important intelligence, which he I) .'s received officially,. that the City and Forts of with the whole Corps . of French- Troops is were there, partly in Garrison, and partly in :, i 'tnttenched camp, had-surrendered by Capitula. tin, to r the net Turkigh and Britislt Forces. ,, --- Tfi;!l'ientr'rrtipS are made Prisoners of War, and 're' ' t l o 'l' .l:e ' gri s , -' ,;;;(.1 to France. The joy 'of the In habitants of Cairo ar the . Signing of the Ca l t u Ewas indescribable, and had it hot- been for the •E ngtish,.the populace would have proceede d to b ar_ • • ba r o us excesses against the French Prisoners.

In consequence of this event, the whole of Utsper B . Ypt is in the.power of the English and Turks, and Alexandria is the only place in Egypt remain ing in the possession, of the French. Immediately after theentranceof the GRAND Vt *ll-11 into Egypt, that Commander, in. conjunction with the English, proposed to March, with ail the ° tee that could be spared, against Alexandria, and it was expe6ted that General MErrou would "ti folio* the'e%ample of his Comrades at Cairo,' anti snhmit toa similar Capitulation. The Porte and the Public at Constantivolle have expreisecl the utmost joy at this intelligence of the Su rrender of Cairo, and it is now considered as cer tain that the French must soon be driven entirely °4 t of-cf Egypt. . • • • ' . - • lo.day we received by the usual Part from Can 41"finople, Letteis from that City of the loth of Jul Y• These Letters (which: do not come so low as the date of the Intelligence brought by the Courier), mention, that the want of water in 4! x.

'SIR', Having been in TOWn on business, for the last ten days; and being at a Coffee-House; I have had opportunities of readingin the Papers the Discus sions which' hare taken place on the Subjeft, of Invasion, and on the Propriety of Our Guvernmen t's making Preparations to resist it. The donghty Champion of Ina&ivity appears• to have been the Morning Chronicle, Whoin ; I think; Sir, you haVe pretty well laid on his: back, and forced to recant and to rettad many ; , cif the opi nions. with which .he set edit:— I :antinot dispose;!, after all that you hive said9un 'the.snbjeti, to enter into a general discussion of the Question, which seems to me to resolve itself into one or two simple Propo sitions, namely What possible Objed can France have in continuing .the War, if she should choose to continue it, but the Invasion of these KingdOtni ) stript as she is, by the annihilation of her Treasure, of the means of Offensive Operations..against our Dominions ? "If Invasion is to be attempted, must not she employ all her means to, render it suc cessful, and ought not we to employ all ours to render it abortive ? These two Questions I defy . any man to answer negatively, whose understanding :is not perverted,- or who is not secretly an Enemy to the vital Interests of Great Britain: I now take up the Pen merely to make a cursory observation ot two,on a Letter addressed to the Edi tor of the Morning ChrOniele in Satdrday's Paper, who is; perhaps, his own Ceirrespondent, or, at any rate, is responsible for whatever he admits into it. This is nothing more nor less' than a feeble, but malignant Libel, on the Nation . at large, on Lord . NELSON, and on Mr: AntirriCtoN, against' whoni . it is principally dire6ted, and who, perhaps, will not be very much 'affeeted - by being so libelled, and in such good company. Tl2e z ,Vßlsa i rr told, " That they may thank. themselye . s for i hadgial:ffn so - weak or so wicked as to. len,4 t tlteir kttapitr4. for many years,, to a system of Desno_tism.",.. pr. ADDING • • TON iS charged With clamour, ,vain-glory, corruption; and attacked as an encourager of " total dereliftion of public faith and private he nour, and as the head of an Administration with Out popular confidence, public opinion, or mutual trust." What the composition of the head that, man can be ,who really yntertains such sentiments, or of his -heart, who, nest entertaining them, could ven ture to express them to the Public-, . it - is. not 'worth my while to examine. Had kir. ApD NGTO N been really what the Author of this Later de::Cribes hini, he :would not have—found an enemy in the Editor of The Morning Chronicle. Had he - not been, in, every single point, dire&ly the reverse; he would not at this moment enjoy ". popular - confi-: deuce and public opinion," which, with the splendid exception of the. open Advocate for France,_ I be .lieve him universally to possess, nor ha 4 been'able to put together a Cabinet, of which I consider " mutual trust" as a leading charaaeristic. I con gratulate him on . this decided hostility from that man, who, having for -eight years caltim niated Mr. PITT for his . vigorous and sue_ cessful efforts to preserve this :Country from Traitors at home, preserves his consistency in the grossest attacks on his Snccessor; ktiendeavouring to secure it against a,FerefiriEneri : : Those dis. 4 , t 0 tinguished Charaelers .oe i kkpt be told, that to satisfy The Morning Chrolli 7 cie and the... Public at the MC; f'r, same time cannot be poss i ble, whilst the interests of the latter shall appear, as they ever have done since the War broke out, totally distinft. But this wise Writer seems to wish that Prepa_ ration, if any should be quite-secret. What is the objea of'Preparation ? Is it not quite as much to deter the Enemy from making the attempt, as to secure the failure of . it, if it should be made ? How can the first tifea be . prodaced, but by open indica tiOns of vigilance and vigour in the Government, •and of spirit and unanimity in the People ? If Inva sion be really the objeet of the-Enemy:, as J . con. fiend: it most be, what is so likely to lead to a ter. mination of the War itself, as_ demon3tration to that Enemy of :the futility of such an attempt ? What species of Preparation The Morning Chronicle would recOrnmend I am at a loss to'conceive, but .su3pea i t wo uld be such as would Afford but little hope of security to Great Britain, and such as her Enemies would have - nothing to fear from. I shall - trouble you, Sir, no farther. The. Morn, big Chronicle seems pretty safe in your hands.— r - Indeed, it is pretty ,safe in its own, for, in the , mo ral, as in the physical world, the poison frequently carries its antidote along with it. The more ma lignant it is, the less it bgton - 14 ] ,diMgekous :—the sueed that produces it is, itfilYit laviery. indivi dual who either passes by it,with egiticausidisgust, or if he suffers its venom to approach -.his lips, is completely fortified against its baneful oper4tion. - I am, Sir, your humble Servant, Aug. 16.
