raoment hesitate to consider his Cause as in those hinds, which are most proper.to give to it a desi • rable issue. No Foreigner can be so infatuated as not 'to see, that our Government has reached the point best calculated to unite at home, all sentiments and all efforts, and to inspire abroad the fear of remaining its Enemy, and the certainty of being-able to rely on its friendship. This impression, the effea of which n the different - people and Cabinets of the Con tinent, is already to he perceived, and will daily become more perceptible, will, we, must suppose, pave our way to a secure and honourable Peace ; but if the case ,should' be otherwise—if blindness should not be enlightened by the splendour of our tritimphs--rif obstinacy should not. be disarmed by our moderation, the api , e.:l which Mr. Anrinic.roN Made. to the energy. and to the constancy of his Countrymen, will then be found not to has e been made in vain. Every one will, have heard, his words,, every one will treasure_them in his memory ; every one will foster in his: heart the sentiment which di&ated them.- Not a man will hesitate, if the folly of our Enemies compels us so to do, to prolong his efforts, and his sacrifices, iintil the happy moment when we shall . obtain the reward of our exertions on terms to which we can accede. In a subsequent column is to be found a very interesting Paper, the Oiciers issued by General MENOU on the night before the battle of the 21st of March. The Military Reader will see in it fresh motives for admiring those talents and that • valour by which 'this }2than of was diseon, C.crted. The Hamburg?) Mail which' became due this morning, had hot arrived when this Paper was put to Press. A Reinforcement is about to sail immediately for Egypt, consisting, it is said, of about soon Men. A Draught from the Guards was yesterday made, of • 3O Men for that destination, and .we learn, With peculiar satisfadion, that every Man of the' Draught volumeered the Service. it is impossible to do justice by words, to the gallant Spirit Of that admi rable ,Corps—Among the, Heroes ,of Egat, the Guards will ever hold a distinguished place. zzi and z.

The Squadrim that is -to convey them, is ,to consist of three Ships of the Line,. besides Frigates, &c. un_ der the orders of Rear-Admiral PoLr... The em. barkatjon will take place with all possible expedi tion. While we, however,. applaud the energy and promptitude of GoVernment in sending thiS Re inforcenient to a point of suii importance, we have to express our hop' and belief, that the fate of Egypt is decided . before it can sail—besides, if we arc not misinformed, a ,Detachment left. England two-months ago, destinid for the Reinforcement of the British Artily in that quarter, and which must have arrived at a.very critical period.

Cofy of a Letter from Rear-Adosiral Duckworth, Commander in Chief of His Majesty's Ship' and Vessels at the Leeward Islands, to Evan Nepean, Es]. dated Fort Royal, 9tb February, 1801. SIR, Captain Matson, of the Daphne, informs me, by Letter of the 22d ultimo, , that . on the 16th, observing some Coasters near the Shore, under Convoy of a Schooner, 'he detached Lieutenant M'lcenzic, with the Boats of the Cyane, under Lieutenant Peachy ; but on - their approaching, all succeeded in getting under the cover of the Bat teries it'BaSe Terre, one excepted, which anchored near Vietlix: Forte : 'this, in the course of the night, Lieutenant McKenzie boarded' and brought off under a heavy Cannonade. The next morning they observed from the Saints, the above-mentioned Schooner work 'up in Shore, and anchor at Trois Rivieres, covered by a Battery, and flanked by two others. Notwithstanding these difficulties, Lieu tenant M'Kenzie, with Lieutenant Peachy, volun teered -to bring her out, which Captain Matson was at last prevailed on. to accord to ; but, from want of wind,. this 'gallant intention was not attempted until after sunrise on the rBth, when Mr. M'Kenzie, in a manner which exceeds all praise, ran the Schooner on board, though a superior Enemy, and evidently prepared for him, when Lieutenants Peachy and M'Kenzic entered with thirty men, and, after a contest of a quarter of an hour, succeeded in bringing her off under a most tremendous fire from the batteries, she being moored so close. to the shore as to have a Stern Hawser fast on the beach. In this contest, the French Captain, his First, Se cond Lieutenant, and six men, were wounded ; be sides one killed and two drowned. In the Gar land Tender; one Seaman and one Marine killed ; the Serjeant of Marines and two Sea Men, wounded : - - --though I was not an observer of this exploit, which appears to me among the first traits of gal. larttry in • the course of the War, their Lordships will be' able to appreciate the value of Lieutenant M' enzie's conduft, which, I must further add, is, in its firobable consequences, of the greatest moment to the trade of our Islands, as L'Eclair sails ra pidly, and, when fully armed, will carry twelve Six_Pdiinders, besides Twenty-One and a Half- Pouild,:r . Brass Gims mounted as Swivels. She was in her way to Point Pctre to complete, having left' Rochfort armed only with Four Brass Four l'ounders, the twenty small Guns, and Fifty Men. ;.

She was taken off ,Flmhing, but the 'crew made their escape on shore upon the . approach of the. Narcissuf. From her construuion, she appears to have been employed fore the double purposes of smuggling and priva teering.

All the Troops will therefore be at three o'clock in the morning preasely in, order of battle without beat of drum, and without making any kind of noise, two , hundred paces before the fire-. sent camp, which is without the gate of Rozetta. The General Attack is to begin precisely. an hour, and an half before day-break, that is to say, at half past four in the morning. The Army is to be ranged in the following or; der :—The Division of REGNIER, composed of the 3th and 85th Demi-brigades, shall support its Right toward:, the Bridge which is on the Canal of Alex andria, before the present Camp. • : To the Left of the Division of RECNIER, the Di vision of FREANT, composed of the 2.5 th, Gist, and • 75th Demi-brigades, is to take its .station. To the Left of the Division of FREANT, and.conj . sequently in the Centre; is to be the Column C 0111.: manded by General D'ESTAING, composed of the z rstDemi-brigade, and two Companies of . Grena-, diers of the 25th, and the Greek Grenadieri: ‘ :fhii Column is intended to form the AdvancleiiGnard: To the Left of the Column of D'EsTAixo is to be the Division of RAmr o /4, composed of the 3 ad Demi. brigade, and of three Companies of Carabineers, of the ad Light Brigade. It will form the Centre of the Army conjointly with the Column of D'EsTA INC. To the Left of the Division of RAmpos is to be the Division of LatitissE, composed of the 4th, 18th, 69th, and 88th Demi-brigades. It is to support its Left by the sea. It follows from this arrangement, that the Di visions of RE GN I s R and FR E ANT will form the Right Wing; the Divisiops of D'EsTAt NG and RAMPON, the Centre ;'and the Division - of LAr:usE, the Left. A Light Corps will advance on the left of the Enemy, in order to make a false attack, which is to begin at the same moment as the real one. This Corps will be composed of the Regiment - of Drome:. daries, and of 3oth Cavalry . • Three hundred Cavalry are to march against the Right of the Army, on the other side'of the canal, in order to annoy their Left, by constantly hushing forward riflemen. This manceu6 - e .is to begin at the same time as the false attack made by the Dro medaries. They are to obey the.orders of General REGNIER. The rest of the Cavalry. of the Army are to keep behind the Centre. The Artillery in reserve are to be placed behind the Cavalry, and behind them are to 'be the In fantry Guides, The main attack is to be begun by the Left Wing of the Army, tipsier the. command of General' LA NUSSE ; and by the Centre, commanded.by Gene rals RAMFON and D'EsTAiNG. :They are to match against the Redoubts in front of their position, and to take them with the Bayonet, At the same time the Right Wing of the Army, commanded by Ge neral REGNIER, is to refuse a lirde uiicil the en gagement shall have been warmly begun by the Left. The Centre is to second the Left Wing, and the Right Wing is then fo'advanc: briskly forward, and to attack and put to the route all that falls in their way. \N• hen the positions Of the Right and o f the Centre of the Eneiny shall have been carried, and all their firk line routed, the French Army • must.,forin again with rapidity, _in order to march against the second One 'of the Endo}... The Rifle., men only,are exeMpted from this measure. This movement against the 2d Line of the Enemy is to be begun by.the Left Wint, which is to refuse a little, its Right endeavouring to out-flank the Ene my. The Centro is to follow this movement, and the Right Wing is to keep in check all the Left of the Enemy. The obje\ of this movement is to endeavour to drive back the English to the Lake of Maadie. General Ro.tiE, who commands the Ca valry, will have an eye to all the movements of the Enemy, and will take advantage of every fly. - our. able circumstance, as well as of giourid; : a Order to advance and destioy all that may have been Shaken by the Infantry. General • will ply the same attention to the advantageous employment of his Artillery. It is necessary that he should have an eye to the Gun boats which are on the Flank's of the Position: it will, perhaps, be necessary to silence them with t wel ve-potinders. The Generals who command the Divisions will employ their Artillery of whatever . kind, in the manner which may appear to them most 'proper. The case must be the same with respeft to the General cornmanding.the Cavalry. The Generals of Division must also form their Front of the Column . of Attack as well as their second Line, if they judge it necessary, in the manner which they shall - deem most advantageous. Tlx Commander in Chief will be in motion 'every where, to issue the fresh Orders which circumstances may render necessary.
