As'this Paper %yas on the point of being pqt to
Press, we received, uy ExPitmss, Paris Papers to
the 23(1 inst; They contain no intelligence of
great importance, A Letter from Bou/okrit, of the
19th August says, that Lord NE ',soy, after having
failed, and •lost from four to, five hundred of his
bra Yest men in the Attack of the 15th, had disr
appeared, leaving some Ships. of War to watch and

cruize on different points of the Coast.

A Letter froth Brest, of the tsth, gives an ac-
count ofGcneraI•BErtNADOTTF. having reviewed all
the Troops in the Garrison, amounting to 4.009
men. He afterwards Went on board the Ship Dceat.z,
and a new speaacle was exhibited bef9re him : two
Corvettes set sail, and fought a Mock Eng-gement,
in which they diStnasted one another, ..andimmedi-
ately refitted. After dinner they made a Sham De..
scent in the Channel of 4njou : :Nine Gun-boats were
employed, each. carrying 6o men, and
.the whole
supported by a Frigate. Thespor destined for their
embarkation was defended by Land Troops and three
Batteries, which kept up a fire.' The Gun-boats,
iri- two divisiOns, and the Frigate in the centre,
returned the fire, ancl.kept rowing to the shore.—
The Engagement lasted, an hour, at the end of which
the Troops were disembarked, and carried the
Bat-
teries amidst the cries of « Five. la Republique
An Article' from Cherwrgh, of the 17thinstant,
gives an account of the Pun-boat.4a Chifirgne, with
16 flat-bottomed boats, having sailed on the preced.
ing, day from Cherbirgh for Habre-27They fell in

nonade began
,with 'the greatest obstinacy. • The
English fired more than two hundred cannon shot,
but not
,a single bullet .took effea on any boat,
while they, on
,the other land, were greatly injured
by the Gun-boats. The two Sloops were forced to
set sail, although a Frigate came to their assistance.
The Aaion lasted three hours, after whic4. the
French continued their 'route.

The Moniteur still continues wholly silent as to
he situation of Env.
The French Tiara Consolidy is at 4.4.

According to private letters., dated subsequently
o the official dispatches 'of General HUTCH INSONI

. .
it appears that the .Convention n had already been
begun to be carried into execution, and that the two
English and French Armies were reiurning to-
wards Rosetta, marching in parallel lines, and thus
presenting a singular, and, to the eyes of our Sol-
diers, a very satisfaaory sight. The Officers of the
two nations kept up as frequent an intercourse as
their new relative situation admitted. If we did not

think it absurd to attempt to shew what all' the
world knows, or can form a-judgment of bciors-
hand, we should again repeat, that the submission
of Upper Evp7 and the De/it:leave no doubt as to
the Spec dy conquest of ail 'the rest Of Egjp, The
French preserve no other important point :here than
that of Alexandria, end this we may flatter ourselves

Qn Saturday- the PRINCE of WALEs paid a visit
to Mr. PITT; at Rottendean, who is hying for. a
few -days very retired, with the Hon. Mr. Vit.-
LNRs and his family.

In consequence of the,uhcertain state of health of
Lord ST. HELENS, who is on his way to England,
Lord CARYSFO.KT is appointed to succeed his Lord-
ship at the Court of St. Petersburgh ; and Mr;
WICKHAM Will, it is said, go to Berlin, in the room
of
,Lord CARY3fORT.

It is asserted, upon the authority of Lettgrs re-
ceived from Smyrna) by a Greek `l3anking--hous
at Vienna, that General NlEtiou had agreed to
the Terms of Capitolation proposed
.by General
HUTCHINSON, on condition that six weeks should
be allowed to the Garrison, of Alexandria, for - the,
arrival of succours fromsFraae. This condition is
said to have been peremptorily rejeded by GeneraI-
.HUTCHLNSON, who insisted upon the Enemy's ac.
ceptance of the zoth Article.

The French position at Boulogne is yerTstron' g,
being covered by eleven batteries on shore, and the
assistance of I 7,000 Troops encamped;
gether with the danger of approaching. the. ShOre
near enough with large ships, renders any attack
very difficult. The French have much the. same sort
of craft all :totig shore to the 77eStward, as they
have at Boulogne, which are hiid, it is reported, as
traps, to draw our ships and, mcn into a 'gre;a ter dpi.
ger unseen.

The clumsy pleasantry •Of the French Cbr*irie
on Thursday last, scarcely deserved notice.. -Ja-
cobin humour has something, so peculiarly dis.
-gusting in its Charaetcri 'that it cannot fail to defeat
its own objet}. In that reSpea, it rivals its
virulence. The muddy hand of the Editor, •who
is got into a habit of writing to himself, naturally.
suggested the predicament in which Mr. Purr's
inStr,Udiona to his :Successor were ,supposed to be
found., FabriCated without theleastskillEancl ex-
ecuted without the smallest dexterity, we wonder
the Editor did not "think' them entitled to

reads.

The AforningChronicle is Violent in its condemna_
tion of the present Minister, for direfting vigorous
operations.againstthe Enemy, at the very time when
he is attempting a Negotiation with him. To our
simple-understanding, this appears the most likely,
mode of ensuring tt success, if any thing can.—
.The *riling Chronicle' would be inconsistent were
it not to wish that Great Britain should suefor
Peace on her, knees, and with her hands tied
might then perhaps he obtaind on such terms as .
would exaOly suit France, aid all her abettors in
this Country. • . •
The KING •of NAPLIS it seems was lately in
great danger of falling into the brands of two Al_
gerine Corsairs, who watched him while he was
employed in" the amusement of fishing, It may'be
. questioned, whether the Monarch ivould not have
been better off in the hands of the Corsair: than in
those of a French- Garrison.

which General MENOU has pursued since the firs;

A
Letters was received on' Saturdaylast from an
Officer on board Lord KEITH'S Fleet, dated off Cape
Rosso, June rzth, which states, that GA N EAUNIE
had appeared'on the Coast of Egypt on the 6th, and
that on the loth five Vessel,s were between the Bri-
.
tish Squadron and the shore ; one, a Corvette, got in,
(no Troops in her) the other four were tajc.en, with
Troops, ;Ammunition, Comedians, &c. The Pri.
soners stated, that GANTHEAUME had 'sent three
Ships of the' Line and a frigate to Tordon, with sick
men. He had appeared upon the Coast with four Ships
of the Line, and a Frigate, and some smaller Ves.
sels, with 3000 Troops on board, very sickly. He
intended to land to the West of Arabs Town, and
ordered ten, pounds of bread, and two bottles of wa.•
ter for each man. By a mistake in his reckoning,
however, he anchored at Lacuste, so leagues to the
West, and there heard from a Greek, that ford
Ka iv/ was off Arabs Town. He examined the
Coast, and found it impradicable. He was now
discovered 14y some of the Frigates, upon which he
cut his cables, and stood to sea, after which time
nothing more was heard of him.
