It is reported, in the rhi-iisterial circles, that the
loss in the second eagagement near Rosetta, has
been much greater than what is stated in Ti, Ga-
seek. There are letters in town from officers on
board Sir StONCY SAITH'S slip, the Pamper, who
spoke with the Captain of the liisdrd. at Messina.
He relates. that as our detachment were taking
measures to relieve Rosetta, a large body of Alba.
:thins came down the Nile in germs, supported by
%SOO Cavalry. tinder the cover of a very thick
fog, they approached oar army without being dis-
covered, or allowing us time to take the best posi-
tion to receive the attack. Thus they were enabled
to attack on all sldes, and assisted by the Turks
who sallied from Rosetta, the combat became close
and dreadful : after an obstinate and gallant resist-
ance, our men were overpowered, and our loss in
killed and wounded was supp.ised to be full 1500
men. The remains of tbe corps had a mast difficult
retreat of 15 miles to the boats.

We are told, in the Ministerial Newspapers, that
one of their ratuphlets, called Plain Faris, isderai-
?Plat, by which we presume, that meaning to puff
it, with their usual propensity to blunder, they com-
pare it to their demi-official Bulletins. That it
merits the singular enlogium bestowed upon ir, we
are not disposed to deny. If it is not from the same

To shew the candour with which it is written, it is
only necessary to say. that the A u%hor abuses the
late 'lir,isters for not giving assistance to Prussia,
while we were at war with her ; and, as a specimen
of his fairness, he compares the rank of Mr. AD A I a

of our countrymen recull:l, to their. sorrow, at
Paris; and he spews how much he has profited by
past experience, when he laments that the late Mi-

recolleaing, as he must have done, the uniform suc-
cess that attended such expeditions ender their pre.
