Ir is with great pleasure that I am to inform you
of the success of a Corps of Turks and British, un.
',der the Command of Colonel Spencer. They were
ordered from hence about - ten days ago, for the
purpose of forcing the Enemy from the Town and
Castle of Rosetta, which commands the Naviga-
tion of the Nile. This operation has perfectly suc-
ceeded. We are now Masters of the Western Branch
of that River, and of course have opened a Com-
munication with the Delta, from which we shall
derive all necessary Supplies, As the French have
scarcely any Troops there, and none capable of

making a serious resistance.
The. Enemy had about Eight Hundred Men
.at
Rosetta when they were attacked. They made but
a feeble effort to sustain' themselves, and retired to
the Right .Bank of, the Nile, leaving a few
.men

killed and prisoners, • They left a caryison in the
Fort, against which our Batteries opened on the
166, and it surrendered on the 19th in ,t. '1 he
Conditions ate the same as were gi4nted to the
Castle, of Aboukir.

I have many oblightions to Colonel Sperrcer for
the zeal, aEtivity, and military talents which he
has displayed in the condud of this important ser-
vice ;. and I beg leave to recommend him as a de-
serving and most excellent Officer.
I have the Honor to be, R:c.

Copy of a Letter from Lord Elgin to Lord Hawke:-
ta,y, data constaittinople, May 9,. 8o .

MY LORD,
Mr. Matier. having returned from Egypt, have
the satisfaaion of being able to lay before your
Lortiship.a far more particular amount of the Affairs
Lnd. Proceedings in that Country,, than it has hither-
to been in my power to cornmun•slate. He left the
Camp before Alexandria on the 7.21
At that time the Enemy 'remained in their strong,
position upon the Heights near the %Eastern Walls
of Alexandria—their numbers about, Six Thousand
•
Men. They were still in anxious expedation of
receiving Reinforcements, particularly that which
had been announced to them as coming from Admiral

Ganthaume.
The loss of the Enemy, according to the nume-
rous reports which had been colleded, certainly ex.
seeds five thousand men, and 4 great proportion of
Officers : four Generals and known to have been
* killed. Every eneourlernent seems to have been
o
given and held out to the Fralch Army to ensure
their utmost exactions. Among other things, they
were taught to expect no quarter from the -British.
The prisoners agree, that in no part of this War
had such bard fighting or such determined bravery
ever been Leen, as they have met with from our

Atmy in Egypt.
I presumd that Sir Ralph Abercromby's absence
from the Catnp, in consequence of his wounds on .
the z Ist of March, had created 'a momentary suspen-
* sion of our operations ; and the irreparable loss oc.
casioned by his death muit also necessarily have
checked' the prosecution of Plans, in the' formation
and execution of which he had always borne so'
leading a part. The' Captain Paella did not arrive
in tune' to tee Sir Ralph Abereroniby but it ap-
jeArs that General llutd:inson followed His Excel-
lency's intention relative to the Troops on hoard the
Turkish Fleet, by erpploying th,?.‘p ,against Rosetta,
and accordingly direaed Colonel Spencer, having
under him a Corps of about 800 British, .tc4 proceed

with tht Topics to fiat Expedition, 'The Town
was tvactwed without vesistancev SDme guns were
then brought to bear "pi;on the Fort St, Julien,
which commands the entrance of fhe river, The
Garrison of 368 men surrendered on the igth tilt,

Rahmanich was still in the hands of the French.
They hid fortified it, both in a view to secure
their communications from the upper part of the
Delta, and Upper Egypt, whence they received
their provisions.
•
Under these circumstahce, General Hutchinson
has very much strengthened his position between
Aboukir and Alexandria, not only by a range of
Works in front, but partichlarly by opening the
Sluices which kept •in the waters in the Lake on
their Left ; and if, as is supposed, this Inundation
shall extend over the whole of the Plain, to the East
of the Lake Mareotis, the communication between
Alexandria and Rahmanich, which is the Enemy's
nearest point, will be eight or nine days journey
without water.

Having taken these measures, General Hutchin-
son was to transfer his Head-quarters to Rosetta
on the 23‘1 ultimo, to which place he had already
sent forward a strong Detachment, amounting to
above Four Thousand British, including Colonel
Spencer's Corps ; and he was immediately to pro-
ceed from thence, with nearly an equal number of
the Captain Pasha's Troops, against Rhamanich,
where the French were understood to have assembled
Three Thousand Men.

On the other hand, advices had been received
several days before from the Grand Vizir, dated at
Belbeis, from which it appeared, that His Highness,
reinforced by nearly, Five Thousand Men from
Djezzar Pasha, had passed the Desert, and had ad..
vanccd so far towards Cairo, without meeting with
opposition either at Salahich or at Belbeis.
had also detached a Corps which has taken posses.
sion of the Town of Damietta, though the Fort of
L'Esbe is still in the hands of the French.

It is not expeEted that 'His Highness will expe-
rience any material resistance arthe Town of Cairo.
And I find it is the determination of General
Hutchinson to afford His Highness such aid as may
be requisite towards the attacking the Fortifications
which the French occupy Fear to the Town, if it is
necessary to reduce them by force.
'General Hotehinson has further received a favour-
able Letter from IVlurad Bey, saying he is ready to
join us when we come into his neighbourhood.
lam happy to ndd, that our Army-are in the
highest health and spirits. The climate and wea.:-
tiler had hitherto been most propitious. The Na.:
tivcs had acquired the greatest degree of confi-
dence from the Proclamation issued by our Army
and were continuing to bring in horses and provi-
sions in great, plenty. Nearly rootrof our Cavalry
are now well:mounted there ; and we have still
above s 1,000 Infantry in the field. The utmost
degree of unanimity prevails between the British
and Turkish Troops.
I have the Honour to be, &c.

The Dispatches' from Lord Et.ctrt were brought
to Town yesterday mornings by Captain BR I DG ES,
the Commander of one of the Yarmouth Packet-
Boats.

The two' Royal Yachts weft
ito have sailed from
Deptford on Wednesday morning, but orders were
sent by Sir BARRY I'4EALE, td postpone their de-.
parture, as the KING does not go to Weymouth till
after the porogation of Parliament, which will be
the latter end of this month.
Mr. PiTT had an audience of the Kure after the
Council broke up yesterday at the Queen's House.
Very extraordinary rumours were yesterday in
circulation tcspefting the state of France,. That
the' City' of Paris is at present the theatre of great
intrigue, anti that some convulsion is prepitring, ap-
pc3rs from many of the letters lately received from
the. Continent ; but further evidence seems neces-
sary to.our believing that the Chief Consul has, as
report states, been himself arrested. A late Paris
Paper, the Clef du Cabinet, states, that all the Re..
giments in France had been made up to their full
complement. It is, perhaps, to a suspicion. of the
stability of the Government that the late-extraor-
dinary fall in the French Stocks, is to be attributed.
By a letter received in town yesterday morning
from an Officer cruising ofF,Brest, it appears that a
boat's crew belonging to the Brest Fleet was short 4
since picked up by 'Sir JAMES SAUMMiE 7.: The
men reported that the Fleet was full of Troops, but
not half manned with seamen. It was understood
on board the Fleet, that the Chief Consul was to
cattle to Brest.

Yesterday an Officer arrived from Lisbon, who
brought with him important dispatches. Some hopes
of an accommodation between Potzugal and Franee
were entertained in that Capal when he carne away,
though it was not known upon What terms it was
to be effeded. M. PINTO, one of the Chief Mem.
hers of the Portugtieze Administration, had set off
for the Frontiers, furnisiied, was understood,
with Powers for negotiatinv Peace with France.
Admiral Pot. e left Towl on Wednesday for Yar-
mouth, to proceed to the Baltic. He was accom.
ppied by Capt. NICHOLLS, -who is appointed his
First Captain; in the Sr. Ge4rge, in which ship
Admiral Po t.r hoists his Flag.

lations of the Ro YA t. FAM I LY and the great Officers
ofState, who had particular invitations to the Queen's
House. His MAJESTY had on the precedingday re-
ceived the compliments of the Foreign Ministers ;
but it having been earnestly recommended, consider..
ing the heat of the weather, and the natural cheer-
fulness and good nature of the KING'S disposition,
which leads him to exert himself beyond his strength,
that he should not be present in so large an assembly
as the Drawing-room, His MAJESTY after staying
an hour at St. James's, in a private Apartment, re-
turned to the Queen's House, and held a Council of
the Cabinet Ministers, when the Earl of Cu ATH AM

Most Hon. Privy Council. His Lordship is to be ap-
pointed Master General of the Ordnance, in place
