STRASBURGH, JULY 15. Out Journals contain the following araticle.: " The Dispatches which the brig Lodi has brought trorti Egypt, have as yet 'only been published by extraeis. A. letter has however been received' here fiont a person : belo'nging to the Army on board the iod;, in the road of Nice, which states that the situation of affairs in Egypt is not the best possible ; of which there are two principal causes : First, the disagre ement between several of the Generals, - espe.: cially bet ween Mr' gOti : andandßEG'Nis a ; ' and.second-: I Y, the Plague which broke out in Cairo ata-UN'lr 'Egypt a short time before the attack of the English, and prevented the necessary measures being taken to coilea the whole Army, and attack the tnglisll ; o'n every side before they had time to establish s'elvies` on shore.

The disagreement between the French Ge nerals was principally occasioned by the plan of Operations against the English, which IVIE'NO - u pro posed, and RE Gov rE R decidedly disapproved. The consequenceS of this were a kind Of schism for REGNI ER 2 and several other Generals would no . longer take a part in the mileary operations ; and at length REGNI ER embarked for France, where he has iaually arrived with General DAMAS, late Chief of the Staff of the Army - of the.

When they go out, either on foot, in carriages, or on:horseback, they pay z'few enter a number of shops, buy nothing, and shew themselves every. where. They then return to dress. for dinner ;` after which, if there is an Opera or fashionable Promenade, they drone 'away the: even ing in listless idleness. Sometimes. they have what they call an Assembly, which consists of a woman doing the honours of a - long table covered with tea,_ cakes, and bread and butter. This' is followed by a game at whist or cribbage, and: is now and then succeeded by music, which-is invariably bad, .con sisting merely of a. violin out of tune, accompany_ ing some yoting girl, - who squalls aniorous airs for the entertainment of the company.: Reserve, cold, ness, and stiffceremony, reign even in their - most intimate societies.

The English Ladies at these routs called a circle of th e ir acqua i ntance round them, and then they enjoy free conversation; but-they esteem it an affront of the deepest lye to be'acCoS-ted by a stranger.

The evidence on the ilia' consisted merely of u . 4etail of the ma!rifleis in which the 'discove r y I.r . as bi'onht was by .tarring some of the notes fma . petin stolen to the possession of James Austin; - anti, by shelving that they could not have been obtained by him . in a way consistent with honesty. This pre. sumptive evidence received • strong corroboration from cirtimistances that occurred at the time of the alf.ehension of the Prisimets, as disclosed on the trial. It appeared. that Mr. Holdsworth, , the City Marshal; .with fir4er assistants, apprehended the Prisoners ; And on coming doWn starts from the lodg.: logs where they were,. a bundle of .notes was Eund which .the priSoner James had taken occasion to let fall in his descent. It was proved that the bundle' of notes consisted of the paper of different Country Banks; which had been stolen from the mails, and thus there was no doubt .of the conneuion of this .Prisoner with the robbery. After all the various piatofb ofthese faCIS had been - minutely:gone through; the Jury brought in a verdia aquitting - the Prisoner John,- but finding .James guilty. - - The Judge immediately_ passed sentence of Death upon him, and ordered him to be hung in chains at • LOck's Bottom, between Farnborough and Brothley: At first he was—obstinate in denying his guilt but afterthe passing of the sentence, he confessed , he vvA concerned in. the robbery, though he was not the_perSOn who stopped the horse. He at the smite time confessed having stolen many letters and parcels, while he was post.boy at Lathberhurst, itt Kent.

BEFORE MR. GARROW. George Mills and Richard Martin 'were indieled and found guilty of 'sheep-stealing: It appeared they were the servants of the Prosecutor. Mr; GARROW adare§sed thein upon the enormity of the offence of which they had been f oun d gu il t y, and in a manner the most impressive, proceeded to pas's sentence of Death upon them: - A great numher of the Poisoners were tried by Mr,; Gmtitow ; the =liner in which he, for the first time, presided as a Judge, - was precisely that which might have been expated. from so eminent an AdvoCate. • There were fouiteen sentenced to 'Death ; but they were all respired ; before the Judges left• the town, except James -'Austen, Richard Smith alias Jones, and Joseph . ?olletr: ' Sunday last zi Most destruaive fire happened at Leaden hall, in Leaden, Roothing, Essex, at the farm of Mr. DANIEL ALGAR, occasioned by a boy letting off a gun near an old haulm wall, which it is supposed eanght fire froM the wadding. A large double barn, a single barn and . straw house, a cow_ house' with eleven calves, a calves pen, a hay barn full of new hay, the stable, with all the going geers, and a cart-lodge with four 'waggons,. were entirely consumed. The dwelling -house was seve ral times on ,fire, but,was prevented from be'ng destroyed by the adivity ofthose present, Suet) was the rapidity of the' flames? that no exertions could posibly have prevented the destruclion of the buildings. The engines from punrnow and Falsted were soon present, but every exertinn was rendered totally fruitless, and not an atom, of the,buildings remain to receive the present Corn. ' This is one of the many accidents which have occurred by the same imprudent step of firing a gun, near straw, haulm, or thatched buildings: . A few days ago,' the wife of a tradesnian, on searching the waistcoat pockets of her husband, pre. vious to its being, washed; foUnd a tender billet, appointing an assignation 'with her spduse, in such a style as left her Hide reason - to 'doubt of his in.. fidelity to her bed. Stung seith rage against the unhappy offender, and determintd to satiate her re..; venge against his fair seducer, slit - hastened to the spot where the lovers were to'ineet, and to her no small mortification found them inthilging their amor ous flame. Unable to sustain the sight, her fury vented itself in a violeni attack on the person of the frail fair one, who proved to be the, wife of &trades man in the neighbourhood. A terrible combat en sued, and the house not being sufficient to give scope to their powers, they proceeded to the street, NV twrc, like true Amazons, they continued the fight. The unfortunate husband took the opportunity of elFed ing his escape. Thursday three persons were _appr e h en d e d i n Rosemary-lane, and being convited of Mega' in .uranee in the Lottery, were all committed to the House of Corredien.
