“On Friday the 14^, the French fleet got out c^-

his confutes. .
This minute (fun set) a signal is made for a fail, which
we hope is pa.t of the French fleet. We are now, from
being a mere wreck, by a most wonderful exertion, it
hr a fecund a&ioo, and fondly hope we shall find them
cut a^ain to-morrow. We believe the enemy incapable
of going on any service for feme time, and that several of
them must have bole up to Cape Francois. The le bier
of 50 and the Bourdeaux of 36 guns, failed with the con
voy thither, about April the 1 ith. Captain Ferguion
was so Kiuch fretted at the event of the 17th, that be is
determined not to fail in a frigate again to be omy a
'foedbator. You may depend on an a&ive Admiral and
General. General Vaughan is on board with us. I
have great expectations from his condu&. I have literal
ly escaped from (hot, fire and water, for our ship was on
fire, and for 2,4 hauls we could with difficulty keep^her
free of water. Notwkhftaniinj this undecifive action,
I hope for every thing. „
P. S. , We certainly have the French fleet in fight,
p epare yet for great news.
Subhance of a letter from ANTIGUA, April 22.
, " Asl know you fond of having the earliest intelli
gence of the motions of the army and navy, I fit down to
inform you, that on the igthinftant, Sir George Brid
ges Rodney, had the good fortune to fal( in with the
French fl.et commanded by Comte de Golchen, in t^e
Courowne of So guns, off Martinique. That they feught
desperately for four hours, when the fortune of the day,
thahk+to God, turned to our fice, and we triumphantly
puricad the foe. We ha#e had much blood fpilt on our
tide, but we are in feme measure consoled by a certainty
of a tar greater number of theenemy being killed than of
our friends. We have 114 killed, and 311 wounded. For
your fat^sfaAion I fend you aliftof the ships, with the
number of the killed and wounded, which you may de
pend on as authentic, and after yeu have perused it, I
will be obliged to you to forward it to Mr. Howe the
Printer.'
“ When the express came off the 19th, Admiral Rod

-Tofa Letter from PARIS, Feb. 8.
e rings with the misfortunes that befel a
f Europeans in the deserts of Egyptthe
<4 ; but all the News-papers have men
, Trrrntly, and we could not learn the real
he arrival at Paris of M. de St, Germain,
ped, by a good fortune hardly credible, the
^::aA ro r,he that ever befel a traveller.
u Germain, and his brother M. de Chilly,
re Commandant at Daka, and the other at
^r, two very important factories at Bengal,
.ere taken prisoners of war by the English :
Having obtained leave, on their parole of honour to r> |
turn to Fr..c d uu nudnik no chip to go to Euru/e wa
they coupled the Cape of Good Hope, the, it- ±ff
Danish veflel for Suez in the Red Sea, in hopes otcrod
ing over, with ease the Isthmus that separates thut La
from the Mediterranean, and then embarking at Alex
andria, for Marseilles. After a perilous navigation they
arrived at Su.-z the 24th, of May, 1779, with several
French and English that were paflengers in the fame
They were no sooner landed, than the Danish captain
w,otc to the French merchants at Cairo, to procure a
caravan, tba:is, the camels necessary to carry thdmer
chandiieof the vcibl, which was estimated at feverl
millions. 'Eyit is governed, or rather oppreflad, by is
Beyser LoA. The Porte preserves there nothing but a
fhaduw of authority, that resides in the hands of a Bafhaw
whem the Bey keeps as a kind of prisoner, in the cab^
of Cairo. In the absence of Murat Bey, the most
powerful of these 16 tyrants, who was gone to fi,t
Hafl-m Bey, Q,ncof his bre^h en, application was m de
to Ibrahim By; he promised tae most striking protection,
and even offer d bis own peu Be and camels to Varry-the
goods. This proposal Was accepted without hefitatwn;
but unhappily the wealth of the carravan, which bf
avidity prompted him Till to exaggerate, m.de him wifi
to carry it off; and he concerted for that purpose witn,
the Arabs of Tort (famous for their ferocity and plun
dering) the blackest and mollcowardly of all perfidies.
The caraels filed eff from Suz the tyh of June. The
travellers let out at fix o'clock in the evening; the
night paired without accident; but at break^f fLy, in
the midile of a defile, formed by two chains of Lilis,
the caravan was be fee by about 1200 Arabs: 1 hey but
made three diftharg<s of their mufquetry, and then fell
fabrein hand on the ten Europeans that composed the
carravan, who being orfperfed, were hacked, taken and
Gripped even-of their shirts, and driven naked into the
drfert. On the oth^i hand, the real co#du&n, of t*e
camel 4, on the firft flint being fired, which was un
doubtedly the signal agreed on, turned the camelsa out,
and drove them themselves, not wi hout feme refiftanre,
bp with eagerness, into the town of lore, belonging to
the Arabs, alter having sassed four days, under the waLs
ofSurz.
The Europeans, miimed, Gripped, and still purfueT
by that banditti, divided themfevler by chance into two
parties. One took the road to Suez, which was buis
leagues iff; and the other, confining of the parties who
had marched forrmolj, could not make their way through
the body of the Arabs, to gain Suez, run towards Cairo,
which was twenty-two leagues est; but in order to
escape thc ferocity of the Arabs, were obliged/to take
by-roads, which increased prodigiously the distance.
Unfortunately Meflrs. de St. Germain, and de Coily,
were in that troop; it consisted, with them, of a b#ack,
who belonged to them, (the other baving^aken the road,
to Suez) of 'Meffs Barrington, a*d Jenkens, E?gih
men; of Mr. Vendelweldem, Captain of the Dantfn bn r ;
of an Armenian, named Paul, who was an interpreter to
the ship ; and two Mendicant Arabs : in all trine per
sons.
It i< impossible to describe the dreadful torments and
mortal anguish that overpowered eight of these unhappy
fugitives, and which M.^e St. Germain could not have
escaped without a miracle.
There is not a more burning climate on the face of the
globe, than the delerts of Egypt : the wind that blows
the e is a confirming fire ; there no rain ever falls : there
is not a drop of water to be got, nbr doth a shrub grow
within a foace of 30 leagues: and the fund almost turned
red by the Torching h:at of the fun, is comp fed of little
angular pebbles, that tear the skin, and enter it like
glafst'by a strange contrast, the nights in that frighrul
climate, are almost as cold as the days are hot; and
when a rnaa efca^cs the Suffocating vapours of the ay, it
is a!moft impoffiblc to w.thftaud, without eloathing, the
feezing air of the night.
It was in this murdering desert, M. de St. Germain,
with his unfortunate acquaintance, had a struggle against
all the horrors of death during three days, and four
nights, without eating 3rd drinking, parched with a
confirming thirst, scorched by the Inn, expoled naked,
hark naked to clouds of infers and flies, the torment of
which is more cruel than can be imagined ; failing down
twenty times in an hour with fatigue, and riling again
in excefi of pain, occasioned by the babbles tearing every
part of his body ; walking oftentimes on his hands, and
at left overcome with fatigue, covered with a universal
ulcer, reduced to Ikin and bone, having drank up all his
urine, his lips and tongue dried to a powder, his fight
dim, his hearing gone, no longer able to speak, and
seized at frequent intervals with a violent fever and the
delirium of death, having had several fits of a kind of
apoplexy and lethargy, he arrived, by a species of miracle,
at the country-house of the Bey, near Cairo. But the
greatest of his misfortunes, the most cruel of ail his tor
ments, which made him twenty times over to wiffi for
the death he was firuggling against, was to have beheld
the successive exit of ail his companion,. Mr Barring
ton was the firft viaim that fell; Meffrsi Jenkins and
Vandelveldcn followed next ; the black, the Armenian
interpreter, and of the Mendicant Arabs, altho' 'roßuft
and inured to the rigour of the climate, perilled like the
rest. But the molt terrible of all fights for M. de St.
Germain, that which a feeling heart cannot figure tog
itfelf without Being feizej with horror, was to fee his]
brother overwhelmed with fatigue, heat and thirst, with
twenty-two wounds of a fabre, conjuring him to abandon
him, and provide tor his own fafety : and to be reduced
to the alternative ot feeing him pefifh before his eyes,
or leave him in thq defeat, in order to employ the poor
remains cf strength he had left, to procure some assistance.
He chose the latter. The cxcefa of their fufferiogs made
them here they were drawing near the end of their mise
ries. His strength redoubled at the fight of his brother's
danger, but ail his care proved fruitlefi. They were Till
at toa gtdat a distance from Cairo'; and the Bey's people,
whom he had engaged to run co the defer! in quest of his
unfortunate brother, and the black that accompanied
him, c uld not difeover cither of them; they found
only the bodies of the other Europeans; and M. de
Chilly either fell a viaim to the marly torments he en
dured, or he was dragged away into slavery, if he has
been so fortunate as to have his life saved by any of the
Arabs.
<5 M. de St. Germain having thus seen all his com
panions fall, at last arrived naked, alone, and in a dying
condition, at the country house of the Bey. The assist
ance he received there ftopt the Progress of the Disorder;
and after he was carried to Cairo, to the quarter of the
Franks, he owed his life to the skill of M. Graft':, a
French physician; and to the praise-worthy care of
Messrs. Magallon and Olive, merchants of Marfeilies,
who took him into their house.
" The French were not the only persons that gave
him tekensof the part they took in his misfortunes.
Several Englishmen that failed with him from Bengal to
Suez, particularly Mr. Ross, who commanded the En
glish fa&ory at Dakzjwhilft himfelf was at the head of the
French factory, gave him the most feeling proofs oftheir
sensibility. It was with the greatest difficulty that he
declined accepting theoffers of every kind that were made
him, chufing rather to give the preference to the French
merchantsat Cairo.
“ M. de St. Germain being happily recovered, tried
every means, but in vain, to obtain reftitption of about
300,000 livres in effects and merchandize that belonged
to him in the carravan ; but in abandoning his fortune,
he must comfort himfelf with the thoughts, that he had
the happiness to escape, all at once, every possible kind of
death, hunger, fuffocatihg heat by day, mortal cold by
night, excessive fatigue, the deftruftive sting of the in
fects, the fire and sword of the Arabs, the grief of feeing
his companions perilh, and his inability to fuccour his
brother ; and finally, a long and dangerous illness, the
consequences offuch honors and miseries !
