* an both fidetthe river. The Eolith troops, and
those of the Captain, invested Gi^eh, on the left
pf the Nile, whillt the army of the grand Vizier,
pushed forward and took a politico almost with
in gun-shot ofCairo. On the morning of the 22d,
the enemy sent a flag of trace, offering to evacuate
Cairo and its forts, under certain conditions. Af
ter a negotiation of fev&ral days, which was con
ducted by Brig. Cen. Hope, with great drill and
^ address, the city and forts were Surrendered under
the conditions I have the honor hereby to transmit
to you. \
At 5 o'clock; last evening, we took pofleffion of
the gate of Gizeh, as well as of the fort of Sul
koufki, which commands Cairo from the^fide of
the riven The exchange of hdflages, having tak
en place, the place is to be evacuated entirely in
about ten days.
I have reafo'n to foppefe, that there are about
6000 troops in the place, buthaving not received
any Hatement yet, 1 am uncertain as to this point..
The service was hard and fatiguing : the troops
have Offered much by the heat; by the difficulties
cfth navigation of the river, and the badness
the roads in the country. But both officers and
men have supported it with a great deal of pa-,
tience, and have manifested a zeal which is above
all eulogy, to tie honor of his Majesty's arms.
I am under great obligations to quarter-matter
Gen. Auftruther, for the teal and ability he dis
played for the public service under the most diffi
cult circumstances. The ' Gens. Craddock and
Doyle, who were employed under my immediate
• command, have rendered me great services, and 1
take the liberty of recommending them to his
majesty's favor.
Capt. Stevenson of the marines, has shewn a
great deal of' activity and patience during this
long march : he has done all he possibly could tot
•to furnifil us with provisions; and, in faft, with
out his assistance, we could not have advanced.
Your lordship will recoiled, that the river is ex
tremely low at this season ;'that the mouth of the
Nile is impracticable for days together, and that
the distance from Rosetta to Cairo, is from :6o to
170 miles, capt. Stevenson has been well aided by
the capts. Nforrifon, Gurry and Hiltyar, who
were employed under him. Their service was
not brilliant, but I hope it will not be forgot that
it was not the-less useful, and that it required con
stant attention and vigilance. It laded for some
weeks, connected with extreme labour and fa
tigue.
~ These pifyardhes will be delivered to you by
major Montrofer, who, since our arrival in this
country, has lived with me in great intimacy, and
js able to give your lordship every necessary ac
count of the situation of our affa.rs in this coun
try. I take the liberty of recommending him to
your lordfliip'sprotection, as an officer of merit,
and to his majertv's favor. >,
I have the honor, &c.

Lord Nelfun again made his appearance yester
day with fevteriHhips of the fihe; and a great num

Be anchored at the distance of 300 c toifes from
the leading division, which still kept its original
position about 500 toifes from the month of the
harbour. ' I had augmented it by one feftiou, arid
had strengthened it by the addition of several bomb
fllips. I could easily perceive in the evening that
the enemy meditated an attack, their ships being
furronnded with boats 'and finall craft of all fixes.
I had therefore ordered several boats to keep
watch that I might have timely notice of the ap
proach of the enemy.— About three quarters of
an hour aftef 12, tmeof the boats difeovered the
enemy, and was immediately attack'd. The fir
ing opened with uncommon br&tefs op both
sides ;—the bombs, the cannon and the mufquetr,
pretendedamid the waves a fpaacle truly grand.
The land batteries could be no affiftancera us,
for tear of firing upon our own boats. .The enemy
had embarked from two to three thousand men in
pinnaces <apd boats. Six of, these attacked the
Etna gun-boats, carrying capt. Piereux, who com
manded the division, -and killed two English Tail
ors withhis own hand. Alnraft all the gun-boats
of the leading division were at the fame time
boarded by the English pinnaces ; but these eve

, they were repulsed. .The bravest of the English

brig on our right, the Vulcan, was attacked again
and again, but always repulsed the enemy. The
gun-boat the Surprise, commanded by Lieut. Car
rau, run down four of the enemy's pinnaces, and
took a considerable number. While these things
mere going on in front, a division of the eiiemy
attempted to get between us and the more. Here,
as at Algefras, the English were the dupes of this
manoeuvre. —-Our boats accompanied theretreat
of the enemy with a heavy cannonade which did
not cease till four in the morning, when the Eng

were tiken. I muff be within bounds when 1

dead bodies of the English are cast up upon the
beach. The battalions of the 46th, 57th and 108th,
embarked in the leading division, covered them

• Mr. Citizen, &
Observing in the Oracle of the 10th inst.
a ftandalous libel on the President of the
United States, evidently intended to wound
his reputation, and through him to bring the
government into contempt ; and believing
it calculated to produce in the public mind
an effect quite contrary to the design of the
author, J conceived it to be the duty of some
one to give it greater publicity than the cir
culation of the paper-in which it appeared
would be likely to do : It was attempted by
giving some general description of the thing
and inviting the public to read^and judge for
themselves. This mode of treatment excit
ed your irritable feelings and led you to bx
pofe your weak fide, and indulge a vein of
low buffoonery, of which, on sober reflec
tion, if you possess the least manly sensibili

be heartily ashamed. You appear to con
fider yourfelf personally designated, if so,
you have furnifhed the means ; by your

you expose yourfelf to public cenfiire it is
your o#n fault ; believe me, I do not, nor
have I the least desire to .know you ; it is
with mex matter of perfeft indifference by
what natpe you are called, or what chasm
youfill in society ; whether you would be

The confirmation of, the Surrender of Cairo has
been received by an arrival at New York. We
give in tins paper the official letter of Gen. Hutch
infon,as well aim summary, of the convention be
tween the French and English commanders. It is
more advantageous to the French than could have
been expected tr&m the smallness of their num
bers and the Strength of their adversaries ; and it
is now evident; that -the information of Daure
was inaccurate, arid that the Grand Vizier had ef
fedted hisjunflion with the British army. What
effeft this convention will have on Menou, time
only cap determine ; though in all probability the
fall of Alexandria must follow that of Cairo.
Another question presents iifelf—What influ
ence will thin event have on the European politics ?
Will it induce tlie continental powers to open a
gain the temple of Janus ; will it make the Eng
lish forget their unhappy fit nation,and jmile at the
dreary profi>eft of another year of war and tax
es; will the riftory of the Anglo-Turks operate
as a balm of Gilead on the galled Shoulder of an
overburdened people ; will it force the French to
suspend their preparations for the avowed pur
pefe of invading England ; or will Bonaparte.
