Copy of a Letter from the Right .Honourable lord
Keith, K. B. Admiral of the Blue, &C. to Evan
Aepealt, Esq. dated Foulingant, of Atexturdria,
August, 27, 18oz.
SIR,

- My letter of the sth instant acquainted you, for
the information of their Lordships, that the Em-
barkation of General Belliard's Corps was carrying
into execution with all possible dispatch ;Mut, on
account of the difficulty of getting forward the
immense quantity of baggage that they brought
with them from Cairo, the operation was protruded
till the Bth. The Ships of War, as well as the
Transports, however, were direded to proceed by
Divisions. The Braakel, with the first Division
riled on the 4th ; the Inflexible, Dolphin, and
lJlysses, with the second, on the 6th ; and the Ex-
kriment anti Pallas, with the last, on the i oth,
tarrying with them between thirteen and fourteen
thousand individuals of all descriptions.
The Army from Cairo moved on forthwith to the
camp before Alexandria ; and the General, who
did me the honour of spending some days with me
tehile the Embarkation of the French was going
bt2 resolved on transporting by the Mareotis, to
• the Westward of Alexandria, a Corps of about five
thousand men, under the orders of Major General
Coote;to divide the Enemy's fierce and attention,
fu invest the town closely on that side, and cut off
all- farther hope of reinforcement or supplies ty
land. On the nth I proceeded with Lieutenant
Colonel Anstruther, the Quarter-Master-General,
tti examine theEnerny's position on the side of the
take, .and the strength of the Flotilla that they had
4ssembled there; and'having ascertained that their
Armed Force could be easily subdued, and that a
debarkation could be effected with little or no dif-
Acuity, the General determined to carry the measure
into immediate ea& ; to secure the landing from
interruption, Captaii Stevenson, of the Europa,
*ho 1s continued in the CoMmand of the Flotilla,
was -fOrtbwitli directed to take a station in front of
the Gun_boats and Armed-boats which the Enemy
!lad assembled on the Lake and drawn up in a
lirte under theeprotedion Of Batteries thrown up
for their defence, to keep them in check till they
totild be seized or destroyed. On the evening of
the 16th, all the Boats of the Ships of War and
ransports in this Bay were assembled in the Ma-
ttotis; with as many Germs as could be colleted
/Torn the Nile, for the purpose of receiving the
ktoops, who were embarked in the night, and
landed without opposition the next morning, under
the superintendence of Captain Elphinstone, con-
4ide:ribly further to the Westward than was intended,
the wind not admitting of the Boats reaching the
Aore nearer to the Town ; the Enemy seeing no
Prosped left of saving their Armed Boats, set fire
to them; and blew them all up in the course of this
hod the following day, except two or three which
have fallen into our hands ; whilst the landing was
rrying into tired, Captain Sir William Sidney
btoith, of the Tigre, was direded with some Sloops
tr War and Armed Boats to make a
_demonstration
attack upon the Town.
On the night of the fedi, Major-General Coote
"•
as enabled to establish Batteries against Marabout,
Small fortified Island that protects the entrance
Itlfo the Great Harbour of Alexandria, on the
western side, and distant from the Town about
seVela or eight miles, which, for many reasons, is
"•
as important to possess ; Rear-Admiral Sir Rich_
kid Bickerton, having the command of the Squa-
Irml blockading the Port, direded Armed Launches
ifront the Ships to co-operate with the Troops, and
the Garrison, consisting of near 'l'veo Hundred Men,
41.1 equal to_ farther resistance, surrendered as Pri.
sorters of War on the evening of the z Ist ; Mr.
kill Midshipman, and one Seaman, of the Ajax,
''ere killed on this service, and two Seamen of the
ortliumberland wounded.
On the afternoon of the same day the Rear. Ad.
aril ordered the Cynthia, Port Mahon, Vidorieuse,
414-1 Ron Citoyenne, with three Turkish Corvettes,
tl proceed into the Harbotir under the direction of
tile Honourable Captain Cochrane of the Ajax, (a
Z4naenel having been previously surveyed with great
tustay and precision by Lieutenant Withers of
t Kent) ; and on the morning of the.ead Major-
'4efleral Coote's Detachment moved forward four
of five miles on the narrow Isthmus leading to the
• ;Lovett formed ley the Mareoris or Inundation on
tt,l3e South side, and the Harbour on the North ;
Fake
Stevenson with the Gun Vessels on the
at'Are coveting. the right Flank, and Captain Coch-
'rlei with the Sloops of War and Armed Boats,
troteaing their Left. The position which the Ma.
3(:4-Gentral took up, and that occupied by our little
~„"quadron, which has been' since reinforced by the
Matta; completed the blockade of the Town. The
tleareAdmiral gives great commendation to the
h•
enourable Captain Cochrenei for the zealous and
swdicious manner in which he executed the service
'''trusted to him. Soon after our Ships entered the
"arbour, the Eoemy .sunk several Vessel-, between
our advanced Ships and their Vessels in the Port, to
,s-truit our further progress the Eastward, and
ioved'illeir Frigates and CorVettes from Fig Tree
'Ant close up to the Town.

Eastward of the Town by the Commander in
