LONDON, September 18.
It is now generally admitted, that Buonaparte has, in spite of the Alligators and Arabs arrived at Cairo: it remains therefore to be considered what course he will next pursue. Upon this question, a Morning Paper makes the following judicious reflections:—
"It seems, to be generally imagined, that he would not attempt to cross the Isthmus of Suez, in order to gain the shores of the Red Sea through the desert. Supposing, however, that he had subdued the resistance of the Egyptian Beys, and dissipated their immediate fears of any design against themselves, he might find them ready to facilitate his passage through their dominions. Perhaps in this case, he might attempt a course in many respects preferable to that through the desert to Suez. According to the accounts of travellers, there is no scarcity of vessels upon the Nile, and indeed his own transports might be fitted to its navigation. Instead, therefore, of crossing the desert from Cairo to Suez, it would be much more eligible to mount up the Nile to Cous or Cophtos. This mode of traveling would be much more commodious for his army: he would pass through a fertile country, which would supply him with every thing. From Cophtos he might travel through the desert to Cosseir. This route is perfectly practicable, and presents many advantages."
"That he might ascend the Nile, will scarcely be disputed; that he might march from the banks of the Nile by the route of the caravans to Cosseir seems likewise very possible. Of this journey, Savary, in his letters from Egypt, says, "in winter, the journey to Cosseir is not attended with the same disadvantages as in summer; the heat is moderate. The attack of Brigands is the only thing which travellers have to apprehend, but by assembling in troops, they may be secured
from their pursuit. Even during summer, provided they take care to have a supply of provisions, and to carry water in earthen vessels or in skins, men accustomed to the temperature of warm climates, perform the journey without inconveniences."
"By following this route, Buonaparte will derive many advantages. The march by land is perhaps longer, but it is much more practicable. The whole of the navigation of the Red Sea, to the extent of 100 leagues, which is considered as perilous, would be avoided. Not only would he himself escape its dangers, but likewise the vessels he expects to meet him would avoid the risk of the voyage, both in going and returning."

Extract from the Chronique Universelle, (a Paris paper) of the 16th inst.
"Tho' there is nothing to discredit the news of this misfortune which the squadron of admiral Bruyes has suffered—we are assured that no dispatches have yet been received from vice admiral Villeneuve; that this officer himself is at Malta, with a ship of the line and a frigate; and that another ship of the line put into Corfu."
"It appears that only part of the squadron shared in the combat, and it may be easily supposed how unfavorable such an engagement must have been, especially in a road stead."
"There is reason to hope that our loss will not be found so great as the first report have stated. We are at least certain that the British squadron, tho' of superior force, has not escaped without great damage."
October 1.
The Hamburg mail which became due on Wednesday last arrived this morning, and brought a corroboration of the defeat of the French fleet by admiral Nelson. Some particulars of the engagement are contained in letters from Constantinople and Vienna. Dispatches have also been received at the admiralty, which states admiral Buey's fleet to have been almost completely destroyed.
Courier office, October 1.
POSTSCRIPT.
The dispatches received at the admiralty are from Sir M. Eden, at Vienna, which confirm the very important intelligence of the Victory obtained by Sir Horatio Nelson over the French fleet near Alexandria. Report states, that all the French ships except two, which escaped to Malta were either taken or destroyed.
Dispatches are also said to have been received from Sir William Hamilton, which state, that the Mutine cutter had arrived at Naples with an account of admiral Nelson's having burnt two French ships of the line, and captured seven, with all the transports.
SECOND EDITION.
We stop the press to insert the following copy of a paper posted up at Lloyd's.
"In dispatches received from Sir Morton Eden, at Vienna, dated the 15th of September, he mentions having received an official communication from the Neapolitan Chargé d'Affairs, that the Mutine cutter had arrived from Admiral Nelson's fleet, on the 3d, at Naples, the captain of which declared that the whole of the French line of the battle ships were taken, burnt or destroyed, except two."
HAMBURG MAIL.
Constantinople, August 25.
Last night the Turkish ministry received important dispatches from the Pacha of Rhodes. They bring advice that several French frigates had arrived at that island, which had been seized by the Pacha, according to the orders lately received from the Grand Signior. The Pacha has likewise transmitted the following intelligence.
The English admiral Nelson, having appeared unexpectedly before the harbour of Alexandria, found there the French fleet, and immediately attacked it. The French admirals ship, on board of which Buonaparte had been, took fire, and was entirely consumed. The French frigates, which escaped into the open seas, were not a ware that the Porte was inimically disposed towards France, and that hostilities had already commenced: they therefore came to anchor in the harbour of Rhodes and were immediately confiscated. From the captains of these frigates the Pacha of Rhodes received the account of the destruction of the French fleet, and the principal circumstances of that event. The Porte immediately communicated this intelligence, by their interpreter to the foreign ministers. This day the English minister, Sir Spencer Smith, received the confirmation of this account.
With respect to the army of Buonaparte we have received the following intelligence: It had for some time maintained a position between Rosetta and Cairo; but suddenly retreating to Banietta. In the vicinity of
this town the French were attacked by an army of 20,000 Arabs, the greater part cavalry, under the command of Mustapha Bey, and two other Beys. An obstinate battle ensued, and the Arabs say, in their account, transmitted to the Pacha of Damascus, that they forced the enemy to retire with considerable loss, and that the French afterwards made a stand a few leagues from Damietta. These accounts do not say why Buonaparte, at first, instead of advancing against the residence of the Beys, should have retreated so soon: but this is ascribed partly to the numerous cavalry that covered the city of Cairo, partly the inundation of the Nile, which at this time is at the highest, and partly to the difficulty which the French found in obtaining provisions where so many of the roads were laid under water.

C. F. REILLY, PHYSICIAN & SURGEON. Late of the Indian town, from the South-Western Territory of the United States, now at Lexington in Kentucky. RESPECTFULLY informs the public, that he has been regularly bred to the art of physic and surgery, studied three and an half years with doctor Laurence, V. D. Veer, an eminent practitioner, and late president of the medical society of the state of New Jersey, attended doctor William Shippen's lectures on anatomy, surgery and midwifery, in the city of Philadelphia—received a license to practice as a physician and surgeon throughout the state of New Jersey, 13th of August, 1785, from the honorable David Brearly and Isaac Smith, two of the justices of the supreme court of the state of New Jersey, agreeable to an act passed 25th November, 1783, by the council and general assembly of that state, for regulating the practice of physic and surgery.
Since which time, he has travelled through twenty-two different tribes of Indians, among whom he has resided nearly four years, and made it his constant study to investigate and find out the virtues of all kinds of herbs, roots, plants and simples, used by them in the curing of diseases; by which means he has made a number of valuable discoveries in the healing art, and now, (with the blessing of God) cures and gives relief in most disease incident to the human body—viz. Fevers, inflammations, eruptions, hemorrhages, fluxes, fits, cramps, convulsions, head-aches, fore-eyes, bleeding at the nose, colds, coughs, pain in the breast, spitting of blood, pains in the stomach, indigestion, night sweats, inward debilities, low spirits, vapours in men, histerics in women, difficulty of making water, bloody urine, coltiveness and rheumatism, effectually destroys worms, cures fist and wandering pains arising in different parts of the body, the effects of the improper use of mercury, green wounds, old sores, ulcers, burns, scalds, cankers, scald-head in children, piles and fistulas, the whites in women, and all seminal weaknesses in both sexes; the bite of the viper, rattle snake, and all venomous bites effectually cured.
The many cures performed within four years past, which will fully appear (to any gentleman who will please to call upon him, being too lengthy for this paper) by papers and vouchers of cures performed, now in his hands, properly attested, and whose authenticity cannot be denied, flatters himself is sufficient to convince the public that he has been successful in curing diseases, and that this is not intended as an imposition upon mankind.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
A MORAL THOUGHT.
By PHILIP FRENEAU.
IN youth, gay scenes attract our eyes, And not suspecting their decay Life's flow'ry fields before us rise, Regardless of its winter day. But vain pursuits, and joys as vain, Convince us life is but a dream. Death is to wake to rise again To that true life I best esteem. So, nightly on the flowing tide, Oft have I seen a raree-show; Reflected stars on either side, And glittering moons were seen below. But when the tide had ebb'd away, The scene fantastic with it fled, A bank of mud around me lay, And sea-weed on the river's bed.
ANECDOLE.
A scholar, a bald man and a barber travelling together, agreed to watch at night, in turn, for the sake of security. The barber's lot came first, who shaved the scholar's head, when he was asleep, then waked him, when his turn came. The scholar scratched his head, and feeling it bald, exclaimed, "you wretch of barber, you have waked the bald man instead of me."
