Several shots were fired, and the Guard succeeded in securing ten French Prisoners, who were conduCted.to the cachOt of the Prison. It appears, that about forty of the French Prisoners had . worked their way to the centre bars of the common sewers in Sandy Cave• and then loosened the arch and came up, with `' ni !ltention it is supposed; to steal some boat in Mill Bay, and getabOard the French Cartel in the Bite ne of Cawsand Bay ; but she had sailed previous to this attempt.

D UNE IZ. followingsis a more citamistantial Account , . of .the taking or /3ahma'nie; as received in a Letter from Constantin . e i ble. • " According to accounts . from Egypt, of the date of the zth" of May, the CAPTAIN PACIIA had taken; with his Corps, an advantageous position near the Fortress of RaAmanie ; and on the 9th summoned the Garrison, which consisted of above zOOO men, to surrender ; but this the Conimandant refused. The CAPTAIN' PACRA. therefore resolved, • ...withqut losing time by a formal siege, to attempt to carry the place by storm, for which the necessary requisites were prepared with incredible dispatch. The assault was made on the loth; the Enemy made an obstinate defence, and the hiss was very considerable on both sides ; but as soon as the Fthnch perceived that they were engaged with a force much superior in .numbers, and that the CAPTAIN PAdIIA was - iin possession of ari m portant pass which led to the Fortrets, they hoisted the White Flag, and. surrendered at discretion. — While the Pacha,, however, was drawing off his Troops from further hostilities; and making pre parations to take .possession_ of the place, the greater part of the Garrison fotind mean's to make their escape, and retired to Cairo, so that, besides killed and wounded, not more than zoo were made Prisoners. The Turks, however, took a great quantity of artillery, ammunition, and provisions. The CAPTAIN PACHA, on learning the retreat of the French to Cairo, immediately advanced against that City, where the GRAND VIZIER, as it fortu nately occurred, had arrived at the same time on Ahe opposite side: .• ".It is now expe6led that Cairo will fall before .tilexandriaohough the GarriSon of the.latter place, when . the Courier came away, ,had offered to capi tulate, but on conditions which were refused by General, litYrc I NSON." The Note has been published here, which M. KA.LITSCHEFF gl,re in to the French Government, relative to the KINGS of NAPLES and SARDINIA, to procure for those Monarchs the re-possession and security of their Dominions ; but to Which, on the part of France, no answer was returned.— The Note of-M. KALITs'cIiEFF is dated the 26th or Aprii i , and in it is observed, that the re.esta blishment of a good understanding between Rus_ sia and France must depend, as a principal, con dition, on the securing of the integrity of the Posiessions of the KING of 'NAPLES, and the Restoration of the hr ;G of SARDINIA ; that there fore the Treaty Of Foligno i and every concession extorted from the KING of NAPLES by force of arms, could not be acknowledged.. It was hoped that, according to the assurances of the First Con sul, the time was now arrived, when we might "calmly consider future consequences, and when the system - of devastation of the -late Diredory should cease. The Minister TALLEYRAND was requested to make known the sentiments of the First Consul on these subjeets. As no answer, however, was returned,' a second Note was given in by M. KA LITSCHEFF' in which -the same subject was re sumed. ANTVcipP;ILINE THE Flat-bottomed Armed Vessels at Boulo - gne and Calais, have received Orders to. hold themselves in readiness to proceed as soon as possible to Dunkirk, to join the Flotilla there, which, is now compleatly ready to sail. These vessels will be accompanied by some brigs and shallops. _The ,naval force which is at Liavre-de-Grace will likewise repair to Dunkirk. The English appear to be well-informed of the views of the French, as five Frigates are, cruizing before Havre; three Ships of War are stationed between Calais and Pouiogne ; nnd three Frigates watch the Harbour of Dunkirk.

He speaks -with great affection :of the child, calls her his - Julia, and - declares hithself solicitdus to have-her properly educa.ted and et-ablished. in life.
