Mr. BASILIC°, the Messenger. arrived yester-
day at the Foreign Office. with dispatches from
Lord Hercutitsots. Nis Lordship, at the date of
the dispatches, was at the head-quarters of the Em-
peror of Russia and King of Prussia, At Barten-
s:ein, and informed Mr. BASILIC° that he should
shortly return to England.
The dispatches from Lord Horcuissoti are of a
very old date. His Lo►dship had not received the
account of the surrender of Dasuzic when BASILIC°
Came away.

Gen. Caaurnao and Gen. GUY, at the Cape of
Good Flop; and from Gen. Fos, at Sicily.

The Petty", Sir Simia v SMITN, is arrived at
Plymouth, with intelligence from E,{ypt, of a severe
lo.s sustained by the British force, which ranched
from Alexandria against .Rosetta. The troops met
no opposition upon their march, and entered Rosetta,
a:peeling to meet a favourable reception. In this
they were grievously disappointed. The Turks and
Alhawans having assembled therein great force,
every street and house was fortified, and a severe
fire opened upon the assailants. After a dreadful
confliet, our troops were driven from the town, with
the loss of about I!0 killed and wounded, in-
cluding, among the former, General W crime.
