Dispatches (in dupliCate) of which the following
• are a Copy and Extratl have been received at the
(Ace of the Right Hon. Lord Hobart, one of His
Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State, brought by
Colonel Abercromby, from 'Lieutenant General the
Bon. Sir John Hely Hutchinson, K. B. commanding
His Majesty's' Troops serving in Egypt.
Ifead-quarters, Camp brfare Alexandria)
MY LORD, r9th August rSoi.
The last division of the French Troops who sur-
rendered at Citiro, sailed from the Bay of Aboukir
few days ago. There have been embarked in all
near thirteen thousand five hundred persons. The
Giir4son of Calte3 consisted of about eight thousand
Troops of all descriptions, fit for duty, not includ-
ing onethouland Sick, and a considerable number of
Invalidi: The total amounts to near ten thousand
Soldiers arnangst .i.vhotrr there was a very, sinall
-proportion of Grees and Copts, not more than four
or five hundred' men : the remainder were all
French. The other persons embarked were fol-
lowers of the Army, and attached to it'in various
civil capacities.

Major General Cradock having been confined at
• - Cairo by illness, I entrusted the command of the
Troops to Major General Moore, who, during a
long march of a very novel and critical nature,
played much judgment, and concluded himself in
the most able and judicious manner. Notwithstand-
ing the mixture of Turks, British, and French, the
utmost regularity was preserved, and no one dis-
agreeable circumstance ever took place. My pre-
sence at Cairo was rendered indispensably necessary,
by some arrangements which I was obliged to make
with His Highness the Grand Vizier.
Major General Baird, after having struggled
through many difficulties in passing the Desert, and
from want- of Boats to descend, the Nile, has at
length arrived at Cairo with the greatsnt•part of
the Troops under his command,• and I fmagine he
will Teach Rosetta in the course of a few days : he
has been direded, to detach a certain number of
Troops to Damietta, and to leave a Garrison at Gaza.
We two. days ago commenced our operations
against Alexandria; as yetno event of any conse-
quence has taken plate; we have lost a few men,
aid taken a few Prisoners.
Major General Coote .has been detached with a
considerable Corps to the Westward, in order to
invest the town .uOmpletels, on that side, and to cut
off the communication of the Enemy with the
Arabs, who have been in the habit of supplying
them with small quantities of cattle -and other
kinds of fresh provisions. General Coote's first
operation will be direfted against Marabout, a
Castle on an'lsland at the entrance of the old Har-
bour of Alexandria..,
cannot conclude this latter without stating to
your Lordship the many obligations I have to Lord
Keith and the Navy, for the great exertions they
have used in forwarding to us the necessary Sup_
plies, and from the fatigue they have undergone in
the late embarkation of a considerable number of
Troops .and Stores, who were embarked on the new
Lake, and proceeded to the Westward under the
orders of Major General Coote.
The utmost dispatch has also loten•used in send-
ing the French Troops lately captured, to France ;
which, in our present position, was a service of the
most essential consequence.
I have the Honour to be, &c.
J. HELY HUTCHINSON.
Lieutenant-General.

(Signed)

Extraa of a Letter from Lieutenant General the
Honourable Sir job: Hely Hutchinson, K. B. to
the Right Hon. Lord Hobart, dated Head-quar-
ters, Camp before Alexandria, 19th Aug. 18or.
I was honoured with yogr Lordship's Dispatches
~f the 19th May, at Cali Where I remained to
settle some essential business with His Highness the
Grand Vizier, on the.subjed of the Mamelukes; I
have put their affairs in a train of negotiation, and
hope to bring them to a fortunate issue.
• The Siege of Alexandria will probably be attend-
ed with many difficulties ; the works towards the
East side, where we are encamped, are prodigiously
strong, and can hardly be approached on account
of the narrowness of the space between the Lake
and the Sea, and the nature of the ground; towards
the west, the works are, not so strong, but how-
ever the difficulties in approaching them are also
numerous; the Corps there is completely in the De-
sert, the combunication with us (by whom they
must be supplied with every thing), is tedious, and
the Boats employed have a most severe duty to per-
form ; General Coote has, however, been so for.
tunate as to find. water; on the whole, I cannot
'flatter myself that. Alexandria will be in our pos-
session in a short time, unless some event takes
place, of which we are not at present aware.
The reinforcements from England, Minorca, and
Malta, are arrived, except the "4.Bth Regiment
from the latter place ; they are very fine Troops,
and in a perfect state of health, order, and disci-
pline.

Dentrnmg-Strett, Nov. 14, 180 1.

A Dispatch, of which the following is an Ex-
trad, has been received at the Office of the Right
Honourable Lord. Hobart, one of His Majesty's
Principal Secretaries of State,
_from General the
Honourable H. E. Fox, commanding His Majesty's
Troops in the Mediterranean, dated :Malta, 7th
Oaober, z Soz.

WE last night received Paris Papers to the 13th
inst. They contain but the two following articles
entitled to notice, both of which are extra led
from the Moniteur.

" Yesterday, (9th November) at half past eleven,
His Excellency Marquis Co it NWALL is, Pleniporen.
nary Minister, of His BRITANNIC MAJESTY at
the Congress of Ann'ens, was introduced by the
Minister for Foreign Affairs to the CHIEF CONSUL,
who gave him audience in private.
" The Feast of yesterday had the charaaer of all
those celebrated in France since the 9th of Novem-
ber, 1799.
" The greatest order tended to make the great-
est confidence prevail, conneEting Citizens, and
making them live contented under Laws which
humble no one, nor give to any one exclusive privi-
leges, and dispose them to participate, without un-
easiness as to the future, in the ten years of triumph
to which France is indebted for her Independence,
her Institutions, her Repose, and,her Festivals.
" The days which preceded the 9th November,
announced weather very little adapted to a National
Fete : the morning of the 9th of November was
stormy ; but the moment when the preparations for
the Feast were finished, the day cleared up, the Sun
shone on the sports of 'the afternoon, and the night
was illuminated with a magnificent display of
lamps, and by a Fire-work the finest which France
ever beheld.

" By way of precaution and equality, the car-
riages were forbidden to be driven after five in the
evening : etiquette required that of Lord CORN.

w should be excepted from this tntasure. His
Lordship walked about in all places destined for
the

" Evzry where did he see order and propriety ob.
served without constraint. His prescnCe every where
excited that attention which is not the result of curi-
osity, which rather serves Jo repress the feelings,
and which is an expression of pleasure, and at the
same time a testimony of respat to the character,
'and to the fame of him who is the objeA'of it.
" This festival presented to all eyes the spectacle
of a great assemblage, without any disturbance,
and of a general joy, which, in its demonstrations,
was as far from airdiation as from tumult."

IT is evident from the deliberations in both
Houses of Parliament, that the Legislative Bodies
arc in perfea coincidence of opinion with the Peo-
ple, on the subjeas of the Peace and the Convention
with Russia. This circumstance alone is remark-
able in the History of Great Britain, and promises
an happy futurity to its Subjeas, while it has con-
ferred a lustre on the Administration,-which proves
they merit, and ensures to them henceforward,
the confidence of their Countrymen. In short, it
is the only instance which has ever occurred in our
Annals, of a complete unanimity of sentiment be-
tween Ministers, the People, and their Representa-
tives. At the time when the present Administra-
tion came into the possession of power, a general
anxiety and alarm pervaded the Country. They
pledged themselves to obtain a Peace, if possible, on
fair and equitable Terms, and they avowed their
willingness TO maize any reasonable 'sacrifices. for
the attainment of this great objea. Hence, the
minds of men were sensibly affeaed during the
progress 'of the Negotiation; a very large proportion
of the People expeaed, and many persons 'wished
for an unqualified cession of all our Conquests,
without exaaing from France any pledge whatever
of her sincere disposition to a general Peace, Ac-
cording to the present state of Europe, they cannot,
be accused of having reasoned rashly. 'They per-
ceived strong symptoms of the return of order in
France, and a general disinclination on the part of
all the Continental Powers, to form another Confe-
deracy against her. They -would have approved,
therefore, of a complete.cession of Conquests, -rather
than have given any encouragement to the pro-
longation of a Contest, which would have re-
quired an extraordinary expenditure of National'
strength and treasure, for an' objea that was not..
susceptible of a definition, or in faa, for no ob-
jea at all. —ln this temper of mind, they
were•preparcd for Peace on any. terms. But what
was their surprise when they found, that by the
terms of the Preliminary Treaty, Great Britain not
only preserved, in their fullest integrity, all the
possessions which she held before the commence-
ment of the war, but retained two stations highly
important, either as commercial or military depots ?
--,No wander,. then, the Preliminaries of Peace
were announced to the Phblic amidst the raptures of
joy and exultation, and that they experienced but a
-trivial opposition. This. general and unequivocal
expression of the public feeling, proved,that Mini-
sters kept their word with the People, and were
worthy of their confidence. There is a time in the
course of human affairs, when Plaih sense and down-
right honesty will get uppermost, and silence all
cavils. This is the time. Ministers have rested
their importance on their integrity, and their
strength on the approbation and unanimity of, the
people; while they have disarmed all opposition by
proving themselves to be the real Friends and Ser-
vants of the Public.

Some objeaions, however, have been • started
against the terms of the Peace. It has been asserted
that we have abandoned the objeff of the War,
namely, " indemnity for the past, and Security for
the future." In answer to this feeble assertion we
remark, that the term, " indemnity for the past,"
is so indefinite in its nature, and impraaicable in
its application, that no wise Statesman can possibly
aft upon it. The Indemnity we demanded was, the
undisturbed enjoyment of our religion, laws,- and
country, which had been most unjustifiably attacked
by those who, at the commencement of the War,
exercised the Executive Power in France. These,
and the safety of our Ally, were the only causes of
our quarrel with that Republic. The wild
decrees, the hostile sentiments, and the avowed
pretensions of the Executive Committee against
the established discipline of every
~,Governutent,,
especially that of Great Britain,, justified our
. having recourse to arms. The Alliances which
we formed in consequence of this measure, were
wholly direaecl against those principles, for it is
well-known, that the War had broken put on the.
Continent a considerable time before we embarked
in it, -and even while we observed the most rigid
neutrality, without having in the least increased our
Peace Establishment, nay, even having diminished
it. At the period, therefore, in which this Country

engaged in the War, the Moral condition of France
was such as to alarm every civilized community.
When the Chiefs of each successful party stept into
power, the wretched multitude sat down in sorrow ;
triumph on the one side, and misery on the other,
were the only events that marked that gloomy period.
Pains, punishments, torture, and death, were made the
business of mankind, until compassion, the fairest as.
• sociate of the heart, was driven from its place, and. the
eye accustomed to continual cruelty, could view it
without oEnce. This disgusting order of things
has since undergone a visible alteration, and there
are strong reasons for believing that' it will never be
again revived. France herself, fias abjured the hot..
rible maxims of her former Governors, and it is
the declared object of the present Government, to ef-
face the sad remembrance of those days of mourning
and to punish all disorganizing, and Revolutionary
Projeds. At the same time it, should be oi3servedt
that the People of this Country are recovering their
usual good humour and loyalty, and from the suffer-
ings of their neighbours, have' derived the nrst
in-
struc`tive lessons of civil wisdom and subordination.
They •have been, taught to feel experimentally the
praaical benefits of the British Government, and to
. •
see that the regeneration of a Country, as it 15
foolishly called, can only be effecled by bloodshed,.
the image of old .lEson, whose youth could be re-
vived only by cutting him into pieces and boiling-hinu

. When, therefore, it was evident that the storm
of' the Revolution had spent itself, and the dance
of death had ceased ; when Religion and Laws were
no longer outraged, the blood of Patriots and Mar-
tyrs no more streamed from the scaffold ; when mo-
rals were not insulted and ridiculed by legislative
decrees; but when the reverse.,of all this was sr
nifested, then the time arrived in which we ob-
tained a full and complete inde:nnity for the past.
Policy and humanity dictated that we should tlle°
withdraw from any further continuance of the Warr.
