LORD NELSON sailed from Deal yesterflay in the
Amazon Frigate, to resume his Station offthe Coast
of France.
•

WE stopped the Press yesterday, to announce
that.. Government had received Dispatches from
Lord ELGIN of the 26th ult. and from General
Hurc utbiSoN of the 25th of July. The Dispatches
from the latter inform us, that General BAI RD was
expeaed at Cairo in the first week of August, and
was thence to march immediately against Nexan-
dria. All the reinforcements sent from Europe
had also arrived, excepting the Swiss Corps, which
had been embarked in the Adriatic. Our Army,
as might naturally be expeae,cl after so much fa-
tigue and labour, was rather sickly, but few deaths
had nevertheless occurred. We regret that among
the sick, were generals •HUTCHINSON, DOyLE,
and CRApooc:K. We'perceive with pleasure, how_
ever, that our Troops were in good spirits, and
amounted in number' to 20,000 men.

It appears that the .ntutber of Republican Sol-
diers who had been dent to Rosetta, after the Capi-
tulation of Ctiro, was 12,700 Men. The last Di-
, f -
vision was to be ernbarli:ed on the Bth of August
at latest.

ME tiorq had refused to accede to the capitulation
concluded by Gen. BELLi AR]) ; but there is,reason
to hope that he will, ere long, have occasion to re-
pent of it, for besides what he has to dread from
the operations of our Army, he laboured under the
want of several indispensiblearticles, such as gour,
wine, oil, 8:c.

This satislaetory jritelligealce is not all that Go-
vernment yesterday received. Admiral Sir J. 8..
W.\ RRE 'N, after having raised the blOclOde of Porto
.Ferrajo, which stilt held out, had proceeded to
,419ckaif Toulon, the oply.,P,ort of France or her Al-
-lies which. was not in that state. This situation of
naval affairs is calculated to tranquillize the Editor
`of the Morning Chronicle as to the fears which' he
.affeaS -to 'entertain, that while-the Negotiations tre
going on, BoNAPA-RTE'would be more easily able
to 'mature and perfiB schemes of a'ttack.' He may
now see, that during the Negotiation, we are
making on our side ...preparations much more aka-
dons than those of the Enemy; as we prevent them
from availing themselves in any degree of the
Treaty, while we on the other hand are at full
liberty to push our viEtotious' Arms in every
quarter at pleasure ! The sailing of Lord NE L-
SQN, announced in ,our Deal —Letter of this day,
is a proof of what we have stated.; 'but the
Morning Chronicle has adopted the plan orblam-
ing everything. Whether we negotiate, or w he-
ther we, do not;
.whether we. make, or whether
we .negle4l,.offensive or defensive preparations, all
is equally bad in his eyes. • Fortunately our Coal-
•. - •
trymen are accuSiomed,lo take 4 different standard
•
for their judgment, that that .of a Paper 3ystema-
•,
ticallv devoted, as muelfiS"Passible, to the service
of our -Enemies.

The Emperor ALEXANDER has made a :present
to Mr. ADDINGTON, within these few.days, of the
value of One" Thousand Guineas. It is. a Snuff-box,
with His Majesty's portrait set round with bril-
liants. What .reoders this gift the more es(iniable
is, that it is unprecedented for a Sovereign, to
confer such a distinguished mark of his faN;our on
the fiinie Minister of another country ; and there
cannot be a stronger proof. of.His,lmperial Majes_
ty's friendly disposition towards Great
.Britain,
under its present auspices. The' Russian'AMbas* -
sailor ,has also -made the usual I'resents from his
Court, on the Ratification of a Treaty.
Mr.-I\4o'm; the Commissary General of
,our.
Army in Egypt, we Ale sorry to learn, by the
latest advices, is dead.

The Parir Papers bring' us nothing new. respea-
ing . the eledion of the Bishop' of Munster. That
event does not appear 'to.have been followcd'by the
immediate march, of Prussian Troops into the
Bishop:ick, as has been announced. The German
Papers would not have been silent as to so import-
ant an event, and the Paris Journalists would of
course have.copied their information.
The strit.test measures of defensive precaution
continue to be observed at Dover. Outline and
inline piquets, consisting of about 200 men, are
mounted every evening at seven o'clock, and Con-
tinue. till five in the morning : and the Castle con-
tains at present six months provisions for two or
three thousand men.

The Northampton Militia, now quartered .at
Dut er, has, Within the last fortnight, received, a
reinforcement of 250 men from the Stipplementary
levies of the County ; in conSeqUence of which, two
additional Companies are immediately to be formed
in that excellent Regiment.
Independent of the late arrivals of the two Fleets
from the Leeward Islands and Jamaica, there have
been no less than 147,000 hogsheads of sugar im.
ported through other channels since the sth of the
present month,
