March $. " The wind was light &
pleasant, but variable, from W. to S.
W. with fine weather and a smooth
fed. The enemy's manoeuvres announ
ced their intention of making a descent.
All their boats were hoiked out, and
filled with troops. About half after
seven in the morning they advanced to
wards (he coast between the bogas of
the Lake Madie and the fort of Abou
kir. Our troops instantly formed into
order ofbattle on the heights in front
of the part of the coast which was
threatened. At 7in the morning, the
enemy's small craft forming a conside
rable line, and confiding of between
three and four hundred of all defcrip.
tions, rowed with great eagerness to
wards the shore. They reached it in
excellent order, and commenced the de
feent under cover,of their gun-boats &
other verfels, which kept up a vei y bril
fire that was admirably sustained b,
our troops.
" The enefay's troops were assailed
witlr a well directed fire in files on our
part, and a ihower of case (hot from
fifteen or sixteen heavy pieces of artil
lery, judiciously placed. But the great
extent of their line prevented our troops
from making head against them in all
points. From fix to feveri thousand
[hundred we think is meant] of the
English army fell in the action. Our
troops, although vpry inferior in num
ber, boldly attacked the eneffiy, and
charged twice with fixed bayonets.
" The right of the English would
have been at once routed, had not a
strong column from the left advanced
to its assistance, arid the French were
obliged in their turn to fall 6ack. The
engagement laded from g o'clock ii?
the morning, but,observing the fupe,
fiority of the enemy in numbers, and
apprehensive that by exposing the gar
rifo^ the fafety of Alexandria might

upon this place, & executed the mofe

took their position at the distance of a

ENGLISH. LONDON, AFKIL If.
One of the firfl ads of the new Sove
reign of Ruflia, Alexander I. was to
dispatch a courier to Count Worron
zow, with an order for him to relume
his diplomatic functions in England,
arid to re-ccmmence hisiutercourle with
I the Court of St James's.
The particulars contained in the
I&unt'sdrfpatches aro,and ought, as yet,
ito be kept secret from the public ; but
jfrom the choice of art Ambafiador, such
' as Count Worrenzow, who, during an
enfbaffy of sixteen years in this country,
has Io effectually conciliated the inter
-lells of the two nations, and so well me
-Irited the reputation of being, one the
moll able and difereet foreign Ministers
that ever redded in England, we may
presume, that the inftrudions, which
have now been sent him, are of the moll
pacific and friendly nature. He is ex
pefted at his hotel to-day or to-morrow
/horning at lateil.
Without pretendihg to be in posses
sion of any secret refpeding the Empe
ror's death, we think it our duty to sub
mit to our readers such circumstances
as have come to our knowledge, and as
tie presume to be well calculated to
throw foirie light on an event which will
afreCt, in a greater or less degree, the
mtetefts of every nation in Europe, arid
those of this country more than any
other.
In a late paper (where it became U^
' to speak with great caution arid re
ferye,) we dated, that great difeontents
existed in Russia; that secret murmurs,
curses deep, and threats of vengeance,
were heard amongst persons of all clas
ses. We further Rated, that these dif
con^rits having at last reached the ear
of Paul, had filled his heart with con
flernation, and induced him to take pre
cautions for preventing the cataflrophe,
which.has, at last, put an end to his
alarms, and, we hope, to the miseries

A writer has pretended, that the
death of Paul will have a considerable
influence on the fate of Europe.—That

sue a fyfteni of policy very different
from that of his father. We know not
on what motives it is averted ; when it
is considered that the Archduke Alex
ander is the friend of humanity and
liberal principles, there is every reason
to suppose that he will not adopt a sys
tem contrary to the interests of France,
and that he will notrenounce the rights
of neutral nations.— [Clef du Cabinet.]
The unexpected death of Paul I. is
Politicians assert, that the death of
the Emperor Paul will have a great in

poSlible ;, but it is yet but a conjecture

Remarks on the Death of Paul I.
FRENCH. PARIS, APRIL 14.
We were yesterday assured that Paul
the First had died very suddenly. We
were unwilling to giOe credit to this in
telligence, and hill more so to publish
it in our Journal. It is however, but
too true, that the Emperor, the august
ally of France, Was found dead in his
bed on the 22d ult. and that an extra
ordinary courier had brought intelli
gence of it to Paris.
This news circulated in Paris, has
produced the greatest ferfation. The
nioralifts pity the fade of a man who
f>drchafed such Short power by such
ong fubmiflion to his mother ; a man
too, whom posterity will admire for
his generosity, 2nd for the greatness of
his views;
an event of too much importance, in
the present state of affairs, not to excite
1 public anxiety to learn the cause and
the particulars of it. Leaving it to
time to decide upon the conjectures al
ready entertained with refpcQ to a
death as premature as it is unfortunate,
we (ball content ourselves with referring
to a letter which we received some time
remarkable for its solidity, and for the
pofTefflan of much dfeful knowledge.
The only defect, which has htthertd
been observed in him, is too great a fa
cility of disposition ; but this is a defed,
which may be corrected by good ad
vice ; and the recall of Count Panin t
together with the re-appointment of
Count Worronzow, may juftl, be con
sidered as strong proofs that futh ad
vice will not be offered in vain. In fficirt;
the abilities, the experience, the integri
ty,and the consummate wisdom of these
two ministers, leave no room to doubt;
the good disposition of the new Empe
ror, and Sanction the belief, that he will
fully justify the favorable expectations
which are entertained of his future go-
Vernment and political conduct
charge which every one forefriV} excit
ed no other fear than that of its being
effected by the people, the terrible exam
ple of the French Revolution which
had been rendered so fatal by the instru
mentality of that ungovernable agent,
having jully excited a dread of the con
sequences of a popular explosion. Hap
pily for Raffia, and for the world, such
an explosion has been rendered unneceG
fary. Death whom we generally accuse
of cruelty and voraciousness, has, in
this instance done an aft ofgre.it com
panion and felf denial ; for by destroy
ing one, he has feared thousands and
thousands of the human race.
All that is at present known of his
successor has a strong tendency to con
firm our conjectures. The Emoercr
Alexander is of an age, at which the
human rriind is apt to revolt from eve
ry aft ofiniuftice, to be open to every
prirtciple of generality and honor, and
at which the difpofitioi )not yet entire

degree of credit is due to the news given in the

ing the latter, it may be observed that, if there'
is DO.miftakes in the dates, the news must have
reached Naples in 7.0 r 8 days from Egypt ;
for it would take grout 3 days to travel from
Naples to Milan. But on the whole there was
fufifeient time for the intelligence by one route
or otfoer to reach Paris. We cannot be long
