THE HAMBUkCH MAIL. CONSTANTINOPLE, At/G. :5. GtN. MLNOU has declared to the English before Alexandria, that he will defend that City to the last man. His Egyptian wife is in the power of the English. Admiral KEITH haS made him an offer to restore to him this Lady, if he will accede to the Convention of Cairo; but this he has re fused, and his refusal has been notified by Admiral Kt ITH to General HUTCHINSON. It is hoped, that General MENot; wilt soon be reduced to ac_ compa n y his Lady ; every exertion is making to attack Alexandria both by Land and Sea. On the 31st of July the CAP ITAN PACHA was at pr'usrtta, where 12,700 men were embarked fi n lce, in purAlance of the Convention at Cairo ; amongi them is a considerable number of Copts, Turks, &c. Admiral KEITH superintends this em. barkation, without delay. AUGUST 30. The English Ambassador here, Lord ELGIN, has received further dispatches from Egypt which carne dow n to the sth August : Before these arrived many disvantageous reports were circulated here. 4kmong these one was, that General MENOU in the beginning of July had made a sally and taken pri toners more than iOOO English and Turks, and obliged the Enemy to raise the siege or rather the blockade. According to the dispatches received by 'Lord t Lam, the embarkation of the French and their followers who are to be sent to France in con. sequence of the Convention of Cairo, •has beeh the cause why the operations against .4lexandria have been delayed. The escorting of these; who amount to 13.000 in number, among whom are poo men in.arms, artillery and carriages contain. ing every necessary, requires a little army to' pre. erve good order and tranquillity in the country. General MENocr has entrenched himself to the teeth on the heights of Alexandria, and the re. doubts and other works render it very dicult to Mutt these heights. As the French entrenchments are at some distance from the town of Alexandria, t he Allies will, when all their force is colleaed, direct their eforts to cut off the comniunication be tween those entrenchments and the city; The French Generals appeared to be determined to defend the place to the last extremity ; but there are many malcontents in the Garrison, who cum plain that ihat t h e i r C omman d er means to ma k e a U se l ess sacrifice of their blood. French; occa. o G ne re i a is t -iekness prevails among the si uY the want of provisions, arid they are in great wan t of wine and brandy. 6 There i s li kew i se some s i c k ness a mong t h e •venglish., but nor t o an a l arm ing degree: The in. znda t io n of the Niiv has also contributed to the de / of the military opzi•ations.

A Clergyman who performed the nupti'al cere mony after the passing of the Marriage Ad, accord ing to the antient ritual of the Fhct, I,vas transported for his offence, on the prosecution of the celebrated JOE VERNON, the sitter, who instituted a criminal process against the Minister (who was regalarly or dained), in order to dissolve his union with Miss PoTlea, of ,Covent.tarden Theatre : this hap"pened iii /75 5, when the Town took so much offence at VErsNoN's •condua, as not -to suffer him to appear oh the Stage the principal part of the next season. On Saturday, se'nnight was committed to Lan caster C ast l e , John Nurcher the younger, a horse hirer and bread baker, of Wigan, charged with hav ing !ribbed the Post-boy carrying the Mail between Choriey and Wigan, in Qd6ber 1799, and for stop_ ping the same boy a second time, as he was convey ing the bags of letters between Wigan and Choriey, on the morning of the 29th of Dec,arther following. It would, in the present stage of the business, be extremely improper to lay before the Public the various circumstances m , hich occasioned the dis covery' of the offender, so long after the two rob beries had been committed, or to disclose any part of the evidence which was brought against him ; it was such as to leave no doubt but that he is the guilty person. At the same time, it is but justice to the charaiers of three others, who had been ap prehended on Nutcher's infbrmation, (Barrel, the late post-boy between Warrington and Wigan, upon whose testimony the persons concerned in the vari ous robberies of the Mail between Warrington and Wigan had been convicted, Fox and Barnes) to state, that there did not appear the smallest reason to believe the Prisoner, who, indeed, previous to his commitment, voluntarily attested to the Magi_ trate their innocence, and the wickedness of his k , n declarations concerning them.

Tcl47t, Sept. 6. c! I Have the h6nottr to - inform you, that an English Cartel, dispatched after the capitulation of General BELL/AED, and having on board the Citi zens D'HAVTPUULT, Chef de Brigade of Engi ricers ; 'REGNI ex, Commissary of War; and PY, DireCtor.Zeneral of Ammunition, has arrived in this Port. flittnex all the dispatches that were delivered to me by Citizen D'HAtlrrouur. The Cairo division, commanded by Genetiti BELL lARD, was composed of tz,zoo men, of whom too° were sick. The Lazaretto at Pcdon, or the establish ments depending on it, could not contain them. I write in consequence to the Prete& of the Mouths of the Rhone, requesting him to prepare the Mar seilles Lazaretto for their reception. This situa tion is perfeetly cOnvenirnt,- and sufficiently capa cious ; for, last year, when the return of the Ar my of the East was in contemplation, it was-.de :ermined to send an equal number of men there. g( I have also written to the Commissary of the Eighth Division, to make arrangements for the sub sistence of those ti,ooo men. I request that you will apply to yoUr colleague, the Minister of War, to write to his Agents in the Eighth Division for all necessaries that may be required for this part of the Army of the East." P. S. " At the departure of the Cartel, Gene ral MrNov was shut up in Alexandria with the rest of the Army. The City had a sufficiency. of provisions, and the Commander in Chief was de-, termined to defehd it to the last. (Signed) " Vtuc E." DELLfARD, CE•NERAL OF DIVISION, TO THE FIRST CONSUL IiONAPARTE, DATED CAIRO, 30 JUNE !SOL. " GENERAL, c , After the departure of the - Commander in Chief, MENotT, and the Army of Aboukir, on the 12th of March, I remakedi in the centre of E.,-.ypt, with a Corps of 2553 men, to defend that C'oun_ try, the city. of Cair,7, and its 'Suburbs, against the Art=y of the VI zia,a,- when it should have advaneiad by the Desarts of Syria, and against the English Troops brought from India to Cesseir and Suez, Intelligence had been received, that seve ral of their Vessels were in the Red Sea. A part of the Troops under my command formed the Gar ( riions of the Citadel, of the Towers in the neigh bourhood of Cairo, and also of Cisa, Old Cairo, and Ro-u/ak. There remained then to me only a disposeable force of 485 men, with which I was to do the duty of the place, to coiled grain and sub sistence, and also to furnish escorts of military convoys for provisions and ammunition for the Ar my ; besides, I had to srop the march of the Vl - ER'S Army, and, to manoeuvre before him so as to give time to the Commander in Chief to come up and attack him with all his forces, after having beaten the English Army. On the 15th I wrote to General bENZ!LOT, who had been left at Slant, to come to Cairo with his Troops by forced marches. I also wrote to MOURAD BET, who always showed himself faith ' fill to his Treaties, to come and occupy Siout and Minith, to maintain the tranquillity of that Coun. try, and to send us grain. I wrote also to the Commanders of Niuich and Bentsoef,,to collet Vessels, and send as much corn as they could colic& to Cairo, as our Magazines were also empty. " On the 25th of March I received intelligence -of the unfortunate affair of the 2/sr. ' All hopes were then lost of compelling the English to re-em bark : it only remained for us to endeavour to con fine them to the Sands of Aboukir.. The Com mander in Chief retired with his Army to Alex, andria, formed an entrenched Camp, and put the place in a state of defence. In compliance with the Orders of the CoMmSnder in Chief; I ordered all tht ! Troops to leave Salahich and Bel6eys, who were • not necessary for its .defence, and as there were corL. siderable Magazines in those places, I caused part of them to be brought to Cairo. " On the 4th cf April I wrote, in conformity to the orders I had xeceived from the Commander in Chief, to the Commanders of Salahich and Belbe L ys, desiring them to evacuate those places as soon as they should be assured that considerable forces were in march from Syria for Egypt, to bring, with them as much provision and ammunition as, they%could, and to blow up the Ports, so as to render them tin& serviceable to the Enemy, I was at that time in, formed, by report, of the march of the Turkish , Army. " On the 6th, 1 received a reinforcement of 570 men, which General PEN iEtot hid brought from Upper Egypt; The plague at this time made con, siderable ravages in the Garrison of Cairo, and' among the inhabitants. " On the tHt I received intelligence of the Capture of Rcrette, and of the arrival of the Turk.: ish Army at Salahich, the Garrisons of which place and of Bellied , : and of Birket,.il-adge having retir ed to Cairo, where they arrived on the 14th: I then gave orders to the Garrison of Sutz to return to Cairo. I was then - informed of the surrender of Damietta, and that there only remained zoo men to occupy Esbe and the Forts on .Le Coast. Thus Charlie was invaded, one of the branches of the Nile laid open, and the other on the point of being so. The fidelity of the Mamelukes being shaken by the death of MOURAD BEY, I adopted the only measure that was possible in this extrerni . y, viz; of fortifying Cairo, and to take such an im posing attitude as might deter the Enemy from advancing until they had colleted great Forces.— Nevertheless the GRAND VIZIER. slackened hi s march, and halted at Salahich and Belleyr to organize his Army, form Magazines, and - to recruit his Forces with Mantelukes, Arabs, and other in habitants of the Country. I was informed that the General of Division, LE GRANGE, with 3900 m&, cdvered Rathmania ; my hopes and my efforts increased. 'lt would have been advisable, perhaps, for us to have formed a junaion for the purpose of fighting the GRAND Vtzdtk as he was passing the Desart, and before he could organize his Army, and regain his influence in the Country. But Ge neral LE GRANGE had orders to cover Rathmania, and it was not till after he had been attacked by the English and the CApirAN PACHA, on the 9th of May, that he was compelled, after a very severe Action, to abandon it. On . the 13th he arrived at Cairo with his Troops. I learnt also that the Dike of the Lake Madit had been broken, and that the waters had spread to the Lake Mareotis, -by which the communications between /?•athmania and Alexandria were rendered extremely, difficult. I also received intelligence - that the English Army had arrived at Suez. Immediately upon the june tion of the Troops under General LE GRANGE, I determined (before the English could arrive at - Cairo) to mrch _to Belbgs to reconnoitre the Enemy's Position, to engage him, and if possible, to drive him hack to Sa/abicb. " On the 14th, the srcrill Corps who were to deg fend Cairo, were organized under. General ALNIE.. R AS, and on the next day I marched with the ►est of my force, commanded by Generals Li , : c* --it ANG t and Rors Liz. That night I slept at E/meiieyer•. We met with some detachments of the Enemy., whom we repulsed. " On the 166, at day-break, I began my march to Baby's; the Enemy, %yho were marching to meet us with Artillery, soon came in sight. When I attacked them, they occupied the heights of the De_ sart, to the East of Vine/ /ger: You will find the Report of this affair, ,Which lasted till noon, an-, flexed to this Lettere Perceiving that the Enemy retreated as I advanced, and evacuated his pbsitions, but seeing that they were at the same time deter mined not to - quit Egypt, knowing that by. this kind of warfare, I should waste my ammunition, and lose men without deriving any advantage fr om it, fearing that a very large body of Cavalry, who .had disappeared in the morning ; after having charg ed us very vigorously, would advance to Cairo, and, thinking that the English, and the Troops of the CAP 'TAN PACHA would follow GCII.. LE GRANGE, and, therefore, might be within one or two day march of Cairn, I determined to return, to en deavour to shut tip the Passage of the Nile, to cied batteries, to irtify and to render as pc fed as possible the immense line I. had to defend. " Upon my arrival at Cairo, General ALME RAS informed me, that he had sent several Couriers to acquaint me, that the . English and the 'TA?: PACHA had arrived 'at Te' hand:. Pressed by three considerable Armies, which every day received fresh reinforcements by the desertion of the Ire. habitants of Egypt, the Arabs and the Matnelooks, (all these of Upper EDP joined the ITAN citA), and even by the emigration of the lebabi tants of Asia, whom the hopes of plunder drew into this fertile Country, I had to defend Cairo, the population of which having become hostile to us, could furnish 25,000 or 30,000 fighting men. The line of our defence amounted to above 12,600 Toises. I was without money. The money which had been paid into the Treasury after the depar,. ture of the Army, arose from payments made by Officers, or individuals who had furnished ;heat money towards the expences of the Army, and also from some Contributions. I had very little pro vision or ammunition fOr 'the Artillery. It was, in fad, necessary to create almost every thing, Magazines, Carriages, Powder, •Stc. Sec. ; besides, Alexandria was now become almost an Island, and ii had had no communication with it for 22 days. I deliberated whether we should retire into Upper Egypt, but it afforded no military position. I had very few means of transporting Magazines, &e. and I had no reason to believe that the Enemy would give me • time to arrange my retreat. There was tau City which afforded the means of creating art Arsenal, or resources for those works whicit we should- have been obliged to construl besides the plague raged dreadfully in that Country. I night have retired to Dantietta, but according to he reports I had heard, that place and Letle. were possession of the Enemy, and I lad not ammunition - 1 enough to fight two Battles.; besides is wasiw-
