The Charge, as above

- As a proof of the increasing civilization of the
Turks, it is mentioned, that there are now eight
printing-presses in Constantinople partly supported
by occasional presents from the Sultan ; hitherto
they have been confined to works of lexicography.
A Utter from Constantinople, dated March 26,
says,—" The Porte :Ind the English Charge d'Af-
faires have received official intelhgcnce, that Genet
tir has embarked all the English troops who
were in Egypt, and sailed for Malta. The plague
broke out a little after their departure, on board a
transport, in which were 300 men. This vessel re-
turned to Alexandria, and obtained permission from
the Turkish Commandant, to perform quarantine
in that port. Before the English departed, the Bays
had retired to the town assigned for their residence
in Upper Egypt. This evacuation of Egypt has oc-
casioned the must agreeable sensation in this capital.
The Ministers of Foreign Powers, as soon as the in-
telligence arrived, dispatched Couriers to their dif-
ferent Courts.
An extraordinary occurrence took place on Mon-
day last, on Summer-hill, npar Dublin : the wife of
a citieen, who had been visiting her child, at nurse,
beyond the Canal-bridge, was accosted by a man
on ir ,rseback, vlin, after using dreadful impreca-
tions, presented a pistol to her breast, and insisted
on her accompanying him—fortunately she had
presence of mind sufficient to enable her to call for
assistance, which happily arrived, and after some
ineffeßual resistance the ruffian was secured, and
committed to Kilmainham Coal: hile in custody
he endeavoured to shoot the constable that held
him, and otherwise behaved in an outrageous man-
ner. 'Whether his objet was to rob or violate the
persan of the female is not at present ascertained—
but i. is a circumstance not less true than rare, that
this attempt was made in the forenoon, and in an
outlet by no means wanting in population.
Last week premiums were adjudged by the Dub-
lin Society to Mr. JOHN TLmpLETuN,(4. Belfast, and
1)r. S.:oer, of Marlborough-street, Dublin, for the
discovery of native Irish plants, nut hitherto described
in any work of Linnzus or the later botanists. To
the first gentleman a premium was awarded for his
discovery of a new species of ruse, found growing in
different parts of the counties of Down and Derry ;
and to the latter tor his discovery of two species -of
mosses growing on rocks in the vicinity of Balbrig-
gan, county of Dublin, the former so Rear the sea
as to be covered by it during high tides, the other
growing among the mountains southward of Swad-
halm-, on the banks of a rivulet, the soil of which
was !brined from* decayed argillaceous shiftus ; and
likewise fur his discovery of x vegetable substance
found growing on detached lime-stones in the bed of
a rivulet in the Queen's county.
In April, 17942, when hostilities were every day
eepeeed in Paris to break out with Austria and
Prussia, in Flanders, about seven o'clock one even.
lag, when the Town Council was assembled, and a
numerous body of the people were present, a man
in a General's uniform came boldly in with a letter
for PET WON. Ore Mayor, signed by the Minister
of the Interior, and stating, that intelligence had
just been received that the city of Monse was taken
by the French. The applause was loud and long,
on receiving the information. The mock General
offered to wait as a prisoner till the truth should be
inquired into, but that was politely refused ; and
next morning it was found to be only a snare laid in
order to gain wagers during the evening. DAN rood,
the Under Secretary, and MANUEL, the First Se-
cretary, were suspected to know something of the
ne.t:er ; but it was :weer faiil:- invited into.
