LONDON, JUNE 6, 1801.

IN the agreeable intelligence from Egypt, which
we have had the satisfadion of communicating
within the two last day there is one circumstance,
the advantage of which.we under-rated, but which it.
is very material to remark. The GRAND VI z x had
not only made himselltnaster ofSalahie, but had even
entered the Desert, and had proceeded as far as Bel.
bit. 'lt is even asserted,that intelligence had al.
ready been received of his having entered Cairo,
the Citadel of which place was still in the possession
of the French. It cannot make any long resistance,
and should'it 'even do so, it might he easily masked
by a. very :small body of .Troops: At all events, the
progress made to the Eastward, by the Turks, de-
cides inevitably the issue 'of the Expedition, and
will, probably,, render it much more immediate than
we
,could even have hoped. Their position on the
Upper Nile will deprive the French of all possibi-
lity of deriving any, supplies from the Upper Delta.
Their position is,turned, taken in the rear, and out-
flanked in every
.sense. They had only four Main
Posts remaining on the aad of April, those of Alex-
andria, Rahmanie, the Citadel of Cairo, and the
small Fortress to the South of Damietta. It is only
by the first and the last of these that there is yet any
absolute possibility of receiving any reinforcements
and of communicating with France.. We may cx-
pea to hear, before the end of this month, of the
Capture or Surges er of all Egypt, with the excep-
don perhaps of the citadel of Cairo and illexiindria.
—The latter place will evidently be last taken,
and our Readers may recollea that use. - have Uni-
formly preclifted that this would be the case, from
the first moment when.every thing seemed to, pro.
misc that it . would very, soon fali,into our hands.

THE Ernbarto in our Ports upon Ru4siatt mid
Danish Vessels is, we ,understand; ordered to he
taken off--La circumstance which proves that a com-
plete understanding stibzisti between our Govern'.
ment and that of those two Powers, upon the sub-
je6l- of the late disputes. Sweden must of course
become a party to the Treaty of Pacification.

WE last night received Paris Papers to the 3d
inst. They are entirely ' destitute ,of interesting
intelligence. We find nothing on the vbjed
either of Egypt or Portugal. In an Article from
the Hague of the 26th ultimo it is said, that the
Court of Prussia and the French Government intend
to interfere in order to remove the difficulties which
exist respeo;7g the Compensations to be made to the-,
PRINCE of ORANGE, by the Batavian Republic.

The French Tiers Cons°lide have risen after their
late great fall. They are now at So..

Town yesterday for,Kew Palace.
Yesterday the Light Horse Volunteers of Lon-
tfon and Westminster, commanded by Col. HFR-
R I as, were reviewed by His Royal Highness the
PRJ NC Eof WALES on Wimbledon Common. The
Prince 4nd the Commander in- Chief, attended by
a great number of General Officers and other per-
sons of distinaion, came on the ground at half
past ten o'clock, and were received by a Royal Sa-
lute of Twenty-one Guns, from the Flying Artil-
lery on the Right of the Line, which was formed,
as usual, by placing the dismounted Troops, or
Riflemen, in the Centre, and a Squadron and a half
of Cavalry on_each Flank. After receiving the
Prince, and passing in parade order, the Sword
Exercise was performed by the Cavalry, and the
Manual of the Rifle and Highland Bread Sword by
the dismounted. They then-trotted past in Hallo
squadrons, with the Guns in Front, and the Expe-
dition Carriages in the Rear ; changed the Front of
their Line in all diretiovs ; attacked by Squadrons ;
in cluse'Column deployed into Line while -advanc-
ing, and in Line. The retreats and formations were
all admirably well covered by the Horse. Artillery
and Riflemen, and I lis Royal Highness expresrd, in
flattering terms, his approbation of the correaness
and rapidity of all their movements. The whole,
was over before twelve o'clock.

Captain DAY, the late Agent for Transports at
Lisbon, arrived on Thursday at Lord Hoc An-r's
Office with Dispatches from Mr. FRER
nister there.—These state, that immediately after
the sailing of the last Packet from Lisbon, M.
PINTO set out for Badajor, on the 'Spanish Frontier,
to meet the Spanish Minister, and purchase Peace
upon any terms. Portugal is represented as inca-
pable of making any defence. General FRASER,
who is there; has under his command only about
zOOO men, consisting of Emigrant Corps, from
which there were daily desertions, and it was - sup-
posed if a French Army entered Portugal, that
they would wholly desert. They were embarked,
however, to go, up the Tagus to the Frontier, but
as M. Pt NT° carried with him a carte-blanch, there
can be little doubt but Peace may be purchased,
though upon very hard terms.
By some Dispatches intercepted from GA:I-
THEAUME to the Chief Consul, it' appears that
4000 French Troops at Leghorn were ordered on
,board his ships, as a reinforcement for Egypt, but
not a man would embark ; and that zOOO Troop,
were tried at Ancona, on the same ground, and
with no better success.

On Monday last the Elcaion came on for the
County: of Edinburgh, fora Member to serve in Par_
liament in the room of the Right Hon. RpBERT
DUNDAS of Arniston, now LORD CUIEF BARON of.
SCOTLAND, when ROBERT DUNDAS, Esq. of Mel-
vine Castle, was chosen without opposition.

His MA j esJY has ordered that an undress uniform
shall in future be worn by the Knights of the Garter
—it is to be a.plain scarlet frock, with a small Star
of the Order on the left breast.

• Co. BARLOW, of the Pberbe, of 36 guns, now
fitting for sea in Hamoaze, is appointed to the
Cornaiand of the Audac. ;am., of 74. guns.
A female maniac,. of most wretched appearance,
was ,taken into custody on... Thursday, at Sc. James's,
for throWing a stone at one of the Scrjeants of the
Guard, and assaulting one of the. sentinels at the
Garden-gate, just as His MAJ-ESTY was going
in : at the time of her apprehension . she had a large
stone in her hand and another in her pocket. In
the.evening she was brought before Mr. FORD, at
Bow-street, where, on being interrogated, she skew.
ed evident signS of mental derangement, calling
herself Britannia, and other incoherent expressions.
She was sent to Tothill-fields Eridewell, till she cani
be otherwise disposed of. -
A- more glaring. instance of the gross falsehoods
daily imposed upon the Public, was never exhibited,
than in a Paragraph which, appeared on Monday
last in a certain Morning Print, under the head
" Fashionable World," and which has been since
inserted *in two of its servile copyists. We refer
to the account there given of Lord COURTENAY'S
Ball. There was not the slightest ground for tbe
assertion of the manner his Lordship received his
company ; and the entertainment displayed nothing
more than what was terjraty becoming the rank
and fortune of-the Noble Host.
Yesterday a General Court was held at the East
India House, for the purpose of determining by
Ballot, the following Question :

" That this Court do confirm the Unanimous Resolutions
of the Court of Directors of the 4th February last• ; and
that the t..ourt of Directors do, without delay, act upon
the Principles detailed in those Resolutions."

At six o'clock the Glasses were finally closed,
and delivered to the Scrutineers, who, at a late
hour, reported the numbers to be,
