Tythe Leases - 11 11 to . bc.rratt a-A time. . , WE ye4terday received Paris journals of the zsth inst, whicvli bring us the very important and says. f e 4tdry intelliaence of the successful disembarka tion` of Sir RALrn*Ra E./CRC/I=Y in Egypt, .end :what ".is ttill morQj of his solid eatablishment in coußtry. The abstraa of all the details' which #elforitexy• contains exclusively v on this momentous jea, , is, that Aftet having arrived in the Road to th`e'East of .. Abouk;r, on the ist of March, and after .having,retnained there until the Bth, our Troops . ) . that day, effefietliheir disembarkation 4t ihat ,point, api , ear to have met with ratlwx a warm resistance, over wh ch they triumiihed•vi4p riously. Only six or ,sev.eti thousand men weLe landed 4 ,)n the St!:, and the remainder on the . five following: ays ; the r reach. in the mean ding concentrated at iiexatdr:ia,the Troops ,sciatereti iii the ncielmr lOod of that place. • On the rjrh i -Genpral Sir R! • E'RCIIOMBY, after hnvitg, no . doubt, disemlark ed ;lib Artillery, and Provisions, t wartilh:d forward: with all his forces, and met the 1 7 1 : :1C 1 0, at seven in the mornipg, ii it battle -took, plong the whole ll'oe,.and after vapious success,. . it appears evillent that the' French were on !heir lvft ,driven into Alexii;: . dr;a, and were on. their , fright forced to give ground still - fAittbes. On the evening of the t 3th and on the. 4th,' our 'troops continued •to make-progress on their left. We know nothing .of their operations subsequently to • that day,. t4e French Frigate, the , Osiris, which .brought this intelligence, - having on the I,sth sailed froto Atextritdri./, where a Frigate Carrying 300 chosen, Troops, and 3000 Musgets Lad, a; well "as a arrived on the 2{l of 141arctl. .. • Our Readers, on perusing w:qh attention, the daily' ;dispatches:, of the Maritime:Fret - 0.1 of Es. ) ,..pt, and 'the acodunt of the two battles on the oth, and 3111, will be able, notwithstanding the wilful silence of the riench, to forth a tolerably clear ju'dgment at to the situation'ofatfairsjnEgytt on the 14th of March. It, is evident, that at that period, that ;is, six days only ;titer their disembarkation, or troops were in possession of the wty.)le peninsula of AboOir, ani h. 13, is It the highest importance, cut off the .nication between the Garrison of AlzweiniPia and A.;orikir and the main bed? french Army. The latter circumiance 4.suiLi!antly proved by no, dispatch from Mgisrou' having besn rerOved. That General was, it appears, to have assetnbled hi? Troops at . Rbamania, on the t ith ult. and.it was expeeted that he would march against Sir Riti..Fll-00.41e.415t. In. the wan time, we may suppose, that the latter will ,have, ettcteavourecl to make himself master of. Alexandria and Aboukir, whit+ it is material to hiiiilttyt. to leave behind - him.

We should enter farther in_ to this subject, it our limits woald ha;e allowed us. WE Ought, certainly, to make use of tie pros i= denthul and import:int occurrences which have lately taken place, to try the: disposition of our. Enemies, with resped to Peace. Nothing can sp much tend to facilitate the attainment of that desifable objet as the dissolution of the Northern' Confederacy, which the Death of the Emperor PAUL, and the Vii ory at •Colenhagen, uwst verf shortly effea. We shall soon see the KING of hzussiA. withdraw from that Confederacy, advancing some plausible preic - ,:t for the part he has taken,:,:,aad Sterriee7i, already indisposed to the content, cannot find it her interest to Continue tiler:fore, that in course of• the last ten da3ks, the greai'-olisiaole, to Pacification has been removed, aija,we are con-; vinced that our' Ministers, sincerely entkayOdting to attain this desirablr, will be 'as-moderate in proposing conditions, in the hour of Vietory, as they would have been, firm and undaunted, if, in stead of obtainini ± Vittory, they had unfortunately experienced Defeat. TheAviilrnot, however, we are sure, be sb anxious and eager in ; their pursuit of Peace, as to accept humiliating Terms, such as can be said, in any degree s ; to impair 'the Security, or to tarnish the .Honour of the Country, It is. itnp6Mble to consider our present situation, without feeling the merits of those who lately ad . , ministered our AP m irs. No Men ever ore nobly upheld the Charat'tet and Dignity of the Nation. — We cannot give a more striking proof of the truth of this remark, than by reminding our Reader's of the circumstances under which theren terecl into the War with the Northern Confederacy, ,At the moment when the Powers which joined , that Confederacy thought that . pur Strength was mate rially impaired, - and our' Resources nearly hausted, they avowed openly, their intention,of setting a Right, which theyliad, at the beginning . of the' Contest, only secretly countenanced. Timid Men, condutting our 'Affairs, would, under'Such circumstances, have given up the.pretendcd Right--- temporizing Politicians would have buffered the Confederacy to a& upon it withodt admitting its justice—but what . was the condt4 of our 'Ministers? they, felt that our Naval Superiority—lthat all that renders us'great in the Scide of. Nations,-was volved in the maintenance of this important point— ... th3t we had Justice ,and the Law of Nations 'on : our • side—rand they %literminediNin spite of every -dif tieuity, to asser,Pilie Cat 44 4. their CoUntry.— We think the o,4nrwill sheWihat they have done so successfUlly. Tfth'etitill,fpFd; we should even then . haVe contended, that the Measures 'zdopted . against, the Northern Confederacy, were fclundeil in NV /S. dom,in a just sense of the interests of the. Nation, , - and were the result of that boldness and intrepidity, which, in the midst ofdanger, and olditulty, will ever, Oast,. animate the breasts of those to whoni the AffairS of this Country fire confided. If that event, the most.auspkioui far the welfare and happiness of gu,tope, *nd fartk4larly of this' Country, had tzken-place a week sooner', it.might; it has been • said, have saved the iffkiltOti - Aif the . ; blood - which eras been spilled at the Attack cr Copenkagen. It. 'night`.stave had that, ;flea, but Vidary is seldom to be gained without the sacri.: fide of human liyes,'and.we cannot but feel, if ever tere was_a, IsilatiarfiWhich deseryed chastisement for its perfidy, it 'w.a's Scarcely had the Fleet of Achriirat'Dicraor-: left Capnbaith, under the strongest assuranees'olthe Danes abandoning, at least during the War, the support of :a principle against which - -we . Leinte,roed, before the assertion and maintenanc& that tvery. principle was made • the hood . of atattideract In 'whith Dentnqrk her - . • h,' , • - la-x • • • self bore ` a princi.lal part. The forrtiatio n of thii - • t Confederacy and-its objet ,were at first kept pro. roundly 'ec-ret -•,,‘ but when Denzzai . l thought she . . had sufficiently prepared for l*r defence, they were oper9k,ayowcd. Wii,s it not essentialthen.to our 1-lonour;anS tb our future interests, to punish such a conkluel ? s . Was it not. necessary to oar securiry itself, to chew to the Pciweri so • leagtkil together, and to•de.irm4rater to . the W0r1,1, - ilie Fatly, ay well as the injustice. of such a Combination i , • , • are far from swishing that the City of CotrAag . en should be .destroyed, or that the Fleet . of that Power should be annihilated ; • the eistcnce, pay the rtrength of that Nation, may forni no un- . important : cheek i to,the ambition of other Nations, and may form .useful - weight in the balance of: power in Europe. We wish only that the effeet of-one, of the greatest Viaories which the present War has produced, may be, to dissolve the league against bs,r:nd to spew ;to the World that, Whether: in-theleizht oForosperity, or in the midst of danger -IJg . and of difficulty, will n o an ourselves to be ins=a - VIM intTl Unity. .-- 7 ; various' SourceS, the .2VOWed dis . , p ? bition of the FAnperot AL t XANDER. to De inclined to Peace, we - can..tee no further o;bjeEl which is. likely to aetuate .

The well adapted and .afreding 'eloquence Of this Speech, sews haw groundless Were the fears expressed by some of our ,public Prints, lest the oratorical talents of Mr. -.Apploosea-Aihould .not -.prove equal to his.tither. trgiqt9 and to what 'his new situation required. Convinced as we have been from the beginning, that he would soon demonstrate 'as strong daims .to to admfratioeh and to the confidence of the-Public, when nut of the Chair, as he possessed while he occupied it, we have been particularly gratified to see him thus proving, in so striking a manner, the justice of - our predialon, The circumstances which produced this Speech, presented an occasion. as critical for the Nation as for the Minister who governs it, and in which the latter could not avoid, affording' the- former the means of estimating his views, his charatier, and his capacity. Every one , of our Readers will, hear in recollcftion how honourably Alr:Ann - qo - roN has undergone this triple ordeal that heepreiscd, withouLdisguise:or affeaation, his sincere des ie of restoring' Peace to his Country ; that .11e — gave tis the valuable asstgance that he would not be diverted from this desire by the sudden; , and brilliant change which has - taken place in the situation of our 'Conn . try ; that he knows, in short,. how to seize ,the most favourable moment for giving pledges of his . firmness and moderation, when the former of these qualities could not wear the appearance of ostenta, tion,'nor the latter of.weakncss. It is this happy combination of energy atsd prudence, of s trength and magnanimity, whichi ar - s" the ch atleriatio trait of The Political Conduet.Of our Minister.
