Admiral of the Blue, &C. to Evan Aepealt, Esq. dated Foulingant, of Atexturdria, August, 27, 18oz. SIR, - My letter of the sth instant acquainted you, for the information of their Lordships, that the Em barkation of General Belliard's Corps was carrying into execution with all possible dispatch ;Mut, on account of the difficulty of getting forward the immense quantity of baggage that they brought with them from Cairo, the operation was protruded till the Bth. The Ships of War, as well as the Transports, however, were direded to proceed by Divisions. The Braakel, with the first Division riled on the 4th ; the Inflexible, Dolphin, and lJlysses, with the second, on the 6th ; and the Ex kriment anti Pallas, with the last, on the i oth, tarrying with them between thirteen and fourteen thousand individuals of all descriptions. The Army from Cairo moved on forthwith to the camp before Alexandria ; and the General, who did m e the honour of spending some days with me tehile the Embarkation of the French was going bt 2 resolved on transporting by the Mareotis, to • the Westward of Alexandria, a Corps of about five thousand men, under the orders of Major General Coote;to divide the Enemy's fierce and attention, fu invest the town closely on that side, and cut off all - farther hope of reinforcement or supplies ty land. On the nth I proceeded with Lieutenant Colonel Anstruther, the Quarter-Master-General, tti examine theEnerny's position on the side of the take, .and the strength of the Flotilla that they had 4 ssembled there; and'having ascertained that their Armed Force could be easily subdued, and that a debarkation could be effected with little or no dif- Acuity, the General determined to carry the measure into immediate ea& ; to secure the landing from interruption, Captaii Stevenson, of the Europa, *ho 1s continued in the CoMmand of the Flotilla, was - fOrtbwitli directed to take a station in front of the Gun_boats and Armed-boats which the Enemy !lad assembled on the Lake and drawn up in a lirte under theeprotedion Of Batteries thrown up for their defence, to keep them in check till they totild be seized or destroyed. On the evening of the 16th, all the Boats of the Ships of War and ransports in this Bay were assembled in the Ma ttotis; with as many Germs as could be colleted /Torn the Nile, for the purpose of receiving the ktoops, who were embarked in the night, and landed without opposition the next morning, under the superintendence of Captain Elphinstone, con 4ide:ribly further to the Westward than was intended, the wind not admitting of the Boats reaching the Aore nearer to the Town ; the Enemy seeing no Prosped left of saving their Armed Boats, set fire to them ; and blew them all up in the course of this hod the following day, except two or three which have fallen into our hands ; whilst the landing was rrying into tired, Captain Sir William Sidney btoith, of the Tigre, was direded with some Sloops tr War and Armed Boats to make a _demonstration attack upon the Town. On the night of the fedi, Major-General Coote "• as enabled to establish Batteries against Marabout, Small fortified Island that protects the entrance Itlfo the Great Harbour of Alexandria, on the western side, and distant from the Town about s eVela or eight miles, which, for many reasons, is "• as important to possess ; Rear-Admiral Sir Rich_ kid Bickerton, having the command of the Squa- I rml blockading the Port, direded Armed Launches if ront the Ships to co-operate with the Troops, and the Garrison, consisting of near 'l'veo Hundred Men, 41 . 1 equal to_ farther resistance, surrendered as Pri. sorters o f War on the evening of the z Ist ; Mr. kil l Midshipman, and one Seaman, of the Ajax, ''ere killed on this service, and two Seamen of the ortliumberland wounded. On the afternoon of the same day the Rear. Ad. aril ordered the Cynthia, Port Mahon, Vidorieuse, 414 - 1 Ron Citoyenne, with three Turkish Corvettes, tl proceed into the Harbotir under the direction of ti le Honourable Captain Cochrane of the Ajax, (a Z4naenel having been previously surveyed with great t ustay and precision by Lieutenant Withers of t Kent) ; and on the morning of the.ead Major '4efleral Coote's Detachment moved forward four of five miles on the narrow Isthmus leading to the • ; L ovett formed ley the Mareoris or Inundation on tt , l3 e S outh side, and the Harbour on the North ; Fake Stevenson with the Gun Vessels on the a t 'Are coveting. the right Flank, and Captain Coch 'rlei with the Sloops of War and Armed Boats, troteaing their Left. The position which the Ma. 3(:4-Gentral took up, and that occupied by our little ~„"quadron, which has been' since reinforced by the Matta ; completed the blockade of the Town. The tleareAdmiral gives great commendation to the h• enourable Captain Cochrenei for the zealous and swdicious manner in which he executed the service '''trusted to him. Soon after our Ships entered the "arbour, the Eoemy .sunk several Vessel-, between our advanced Ships and their Vessels in the Port, to ,s-truit our further progress the Eastward, and ioved'illeir Frigates and CorVettes from Fig Tree 'Ant close up to the Town. general Menou finding himself closely pressed on Eastward of th e Town by the Commander in who had carried. some of the Enemy's 7tane Redoubts, and established strong Batteries 'bdinst . their entrenched Lines; and on the Western ' sid e b . eoa(lajor-Gencral Coote, who had, during the 4Arecediug night, driven in several of their Out-posts, 4 4 :1 advanced close up to an important position 0 "..1eh the Enemy seemed conscious of being unable defend -sentout e on the evening of the 2-6th, POsals for an Armistice of three Days to arrange t erms of Capitulation,- which I have no doubt will °on terminate in the Surrender of the Town.

The intended Naval Promotion, by including Sir THOMAS TROUB RIDG 2, occasions a vacancy in the three Colonelcies of Marines. These, it is said, will be given to Captains MARKHAM, Si/ RICHARD STRACHAN, and Sir SIDNEY SMITH. The Hon. Captain GREY, it is supposed, will soon be appointed to a Dock-yard. On Friday the Gun-boat Flotilla, at Plymouth, under Command of Captain THomAs HAWKER, was paid off and dismantled. The following Notice was yesterday posted up at Lloyd's : " Batavian Passports are ready to be granted immediately, on application to Tiscm As Binw LL, Esq. at. Lord Hawkes bury's Office. " Such Gentlemen as have already obtained French Pass ports, will not have occasion to send a second attested Copy of the register of their respeaive Ships. " No Spanish Passports are yet arrived, nor are thcrcany French ones now remaining ; but both are hourly expeaccl. " Dated this 17th Nov. iSol." FRENCH PASS.—The following is the form of a French Pass, for ships : " Si.AF ce.nduel for the English ship, the-. " 4.IBEXT Y. IQUAL4 TYd " French Republic.

" Done at Paris, &c. " (L. S.) By the Minister of the Marine," &c. Yesterday the LORD MAYoR held his first Court of Aldermen, at which were present, besides his Lordship, seventeen Aldermen, Mr. Common Serjeaur, and the Sheriffs. The LORD MAYOR, as is usual (being the first Court), addressed the Aldermen in a short pe.rd nent Speech, concluding by requesting their advice and assistance during his Mayoralty. The unanimous Thanks of the Court were voted to the late LORD MAYOR. The Court ordered the Bread to be continued at told. the Quartern Loaf. The Court desired the Sheriffs not in future to suffer any persons to go into the Gaol of Newgate to hear the condeMned sermons, or during divine service, without a special order. The Searchers and Sealers of Leather for Leaden_ hall were sworn into office. The Inquest for the Ward of Farringdon Within presented as a nuisance a steam engine and a corn mill, working in Bagnio-court, Newgate.:street.— The Court ordered their Solicitor to prosecute the Proprietors: The Clerk of the Cocket Office, Mansion-house, laid before the Court the amount of flour bought by the bakers for the last twelve weeks, aurounting to 183,318 sacks ; which is upon an average of 15,2761 sacks per week. DRuRY-LANE, ,, -The School for Scandal was very indifferently attended last night at this Thea tre,.and the scantiness of the Audience seemed to damp the spirit of the Performers. KING is evidently recovering, and is likely to support his usual Charaders win''' his usual efTed: If Charles Surface is not in future provided with a better set of guests than appeared at Iris table last night, he must be supposed to have kept very bad com pany, for, with one or two exceptions, they looked like 'prentice bop and dirty Jacobins. In compliment to the Proprietors of the Theatre, and the Author of this excellent Comedy, it was to be expcaed that it would be brought forward, with more attention. COVENT-GAAPEN.-Last night Mrs: linLiNo- TON repeated the charatter of Clata, in the Duenna, with great applause, Thel - 1-ouse was overflowing in every part.

If his. posterity adopt these cannibal pra&ices, - there will indeed be a nemisity for a now Edition of 4ribTlnist Apolovi ZAiP REPORT. COURT OF KlNt's BENCH, Nov, 17. Heard some arguments in Special Cases, in whll there was no decision, and then proceeded to hear Motions, among which the only one that was in teresting to the Public, was made by Mr. BALGUY, '`rho said he was instruaed to move for leave to file . a criminal information against the Reverend Samuel Hunt; upon an Affidavit which stated, that Mr.,Hunt was the neighbour of Mr. Noon, a Gentleman of Fortune, in Leicestershire ; that Mr. Hunt had been in the .habit of sporting on Mr. Noon's estate, and that he continued to do so after he was cautioned to avoid it ; that he came With his gun and pointers, and met Mr. Noon, who was out sporting also with his greyhounds. That he fol_ lowed the greyhounds, as if there was a hare put up before them, but finding there was no sport, returned back to Mr. Noon ; but finding that Mr. Noon took no notice of him, he thought proper to follow Mr. Noon, and, having overtaken him, used these words :—" This is the way that I mean to treat you whenever I meet you—You are a rascal and a blackguard." Mr. Noon then asked Mr. Hunt, Why he treated him in that manner ? He said, after many other abusive words, that he should like to exchange a shot with Mr. Noon, and that be &houla wave his cloth. Loru KENYON—Take a Rule to spew Cause— Rule granted. - We would add, however, by way of caution, though. it is hardly necessary, that this is only an ex parte statement. The season for judging of the Case will be when Cause is shewn against the Rule. - • In prohibition aga;nst CATHARINE WILKINSOX and JOHN BOCWELL, Defendants. This was a case concerning the validity of the Will of a married woman ; -whether the Will mrnie during coverture should dispose of property which she might acquire as a femme sale, having survived her husband. Mr. GIBBS argued for the prohibition, 'and the ATTORNEY GENERAL against it ; but as the Court gave no definitive opinion we shall not at present detail the argument. Lord KENYON, in the progress of the case, inti mated as his opinion, that the party dying testate, it was exclusively for the Ecclesiastical Court to say whether she had made a Will or not. 'lndeed, he considered the question as clear ; but, if upon further consideration, he should entertain any doubt, he, in that case, should request to hear the opinions of the Civilians upon it.

EFFORT AT A PUN.—If any of our Readers are anxious to see an illustration of the saying, that he " that will pun will pick a pocket," may find it in the following Extra from a Provincial Paper. " The observation,. that what, is one man's meat is another's poison; was lately exemplified itl an American trader which put into Waterford some days ago. The ship had long been at sea - , and the crew were greatly in .Wo't of provisions. A poor .
