It has ever been my objea, and it certainly was my
.duty
,
during the period of thirty years in my public line or bust-
nc.:s!;„ to deserve the approbation of thbse Persons who have
fi;',:ourcd me with their countenance and support. I will
not flatter myself that my alm has always been successful,
vet I have the consoldtion of relic:.ting-, that it has been -sanc-
tioned by the approbation of many tustinguished Persons of
my own City; and I may now add, with becoming pride,
by that of the Giiicert-, of the Oxford

Accept, Centlemen, from a plain man, the getvnue ex-

Believe Me, Gentlemen, your most obliged

A Theatre; i t seems), is to be opened by sub-
scription at Antigua. The Manager,, of course,
can never want an OroonokG, a Zang(?) or an Othello,
who may boast that " black disdains to change its

Citizen MELzi, who is appointed Vice-Pres,
dent of the Italian Republic, is 'the same hers n
who delivered the keys of Milan to BONAPARTE,
when he first, entered that city, at the head of the
French Army.

The present establishment for the conveyance. of
Overland Dispatches to and :,•orn India, is said to
cost the sum of to,oool. annually. It is said a
plan is in contemplation whereby the greater part
of the above expence will be saved, and the charge
converted into a source of Revenue.

At the Chichester heart-market, on Wednesday,
there was a considerable supply of French hogs,
which, on account of their lank appearance, found
but a dull sale. These hogs were considerably in-
jured by being at sea in the late high gales of u.ind.
They very much resemble the Irish breed, but are
certainly inferior to those bred in England.
The price of fat bullocks at the above market, was
rather higher than on the market-day preceding.

Cure, by PERK I Ns's Metallic Tradors:
" CASE—Violent . Inflammation in an Eye.—William
Whitmore, of.Northampron, had his eye very badly wounded
by a.sharp piece of brass flying into intiammatiotn,
swelling, and pain, 'instantly took place to such a (tepee,
that there was an app'rehension of his losing his sit:ht.—V-a-
flops means were triad by some of thefirst medical skill in
Northampton, during twodays, but in vain. The Tractors
were then used only twice, and etreeted a complete Cure."

Horses, may be had, genuine, with new and improved di-
reetions for using them, for Five Guineas the Set, of B. D.
Perkins, A. M. the Patentee, in the house of the late lohri

ASS4SSINATION OF THE I3EYS IN EGYPT.

It might Piave been hoped, that the situation of
an Officer, executing, at a great distance from home,
the dUries of an arduous -and important- Command,
in such manner as to-14%T entitled him to the most
distinguished approbation of Parliament and of his
Sovereign, would have- afforded to the charaCier of ,
such a man, sufficient proteetion against. the impu-
tation of the greatest rashness, and the greatest
impropriety. This imputation was conveyed in
the shape of news from Coastantialia, under date
of the 2eth, November, stating, " that the Beys and
" Mameltikes had endeavoured to form a party in
the GRAND VIZIER'S Army ; that the greatest
" part of_these Rebels had been apprehended ; that
" at Alexandria they had made some resistance,
" and had come to an engagement ; that seven
• Beys had been killed on' the spot, and that two
• had taken- refuge in the Camp of the English
" General ; that he had not only taken under his
" protection these fugitives, but had also demanded
" the restoration of eight _other Beys, whom the
" GRAND VIZIER had sent to Cairo under a strong
. " guard, because they had refused to conform to
tls! plan which had been adopted by the Porte for
" organizing the Country ; that Lord Eeo IN. had
" loudly. declared against the conduCt
.of,Generar
" HUTCHINSON, and was going to terminate the
" difference on the spot." •
Such is the Statement—what • are- the Farts ?
We are enabled to giVe them to the Public on the
most unquestionable authority, and • to detail the
• particulars of the abominable breach of the faith
If the Turks to our Allies the Beys of Egypt, - to
whose persons and properties we had pledged our
Nation's proteaion, under the solemn and reiterated
• guarantee of the Turkish Government.
The CAPTAIN PACHA had prevailed upon seven
Beys and their followers, who were in Rosetta and
its neighbourhood, to pay him a visit, about the
middle of °Clasher, at his Camp before Alexandria,
under the pretence of a wish to take leave of them,
previous to his - quitting the Country. They re-
's/rained near his Tent for eight or ten days, where
they were well treated, and received from him every
assurance of friendship and proteClion from his Go-
vernment. This he swore by his Beard ! by his
Sovereign! and by Mahomet !y .On the 22d Oflo-
ber,• on expressing their intention of riding into
Alexandria, he desired they would send their horses,
to a certain place (Pompey's, Pillar), there to await
them ; and that his should be there also ; andhe
requested them to accompany him, in his boat, by
the Lake. To this they consented. • Having gene
a short distance from the shore, one of his Attend- •
ants followed with a letter, which having been de..
ilivered to the CAPTAIN PACII A, he declared it was
necessary for him to return to his Tent ; and having
got into another boat, desired the one in which he
had been with the Beys, to await his return.
After a few momeces, however, this boat was
rowed alongside of a Germe (a large half-decked
'vessel), into which the Beys were desired to place
themselves. The ploy now discoyered itself. The
Beys refused; upon which the people of tha boat
rushed upon them, and the Germe pouring in at the
same time a heavy fire, two of the Beys were killed
and two drowned, with some of their followers :
the rest were carried on board the Paella's Ship, the
Sultan Selint, in Aboukir Bay.— This horrid out-
rage was perpetrated on ‘the Lake Aboukir, near
to the Cut which we had made through the Dyke
of the Alexandrian Canal. Some of the shots were
beard in our Camp ; nobody, however, suseetled
that such a scene was pas Sing.
On the General's being informed in a few hours
after, that the Beys had been arrested at Cairo and
Alexandria, he dispatched a messenger to the CAP-
TAIN PACHA to demand their immediate restoration.
The PACHA himself came to the General's tent,
and at length-told the tale which has been related.—
General STEWART was immediately dispatched with
a Command of Cavalry to the Paella's-camp, to de-
mand the bodies of the murdered ,Beys (whom we
buried with military honours), and the restoration
of those who had escaped the massacre, and who
were accordingly delivered up to us. The strongest
. remonstrances were forwarded to the VIZIER at
Cairo, who had arrested on or about the same day,
the Beys and their followers who were in that neigh-
bourhood, but had not murdered any of them. One
or two had escaped to Giia, where they were pea.,
tefied by Lieut.-Colonel Ramsay, who commanded
a Corps of British at that place.
When these 'accounts came away, there was every
reason to hope that the VI ZI ER would yield.—
Previous to this unfortunate visit to the Paella, the
Beys had been strongly urged by the General to be
.on their guard. They had even left Rosetta with
a British escort, which was orgy dismissed at their
own request. .
Such is the detail of this base and abominable
ttansatlion, Vhich we give to the Public on the
authority of a person who is...possessed of the most
authentic sources of information, and to whom the
reputation of the Noble Lord in question is too
&err, to permit the misrepresentations alluded to,
to pass without refutation. With respeet to the
other Noble Lord, whose name has also been in_
troduced— that -person. ,is far from supposing his
Lordship capable of the assumption which those
paragraphs have attributed to him, of passing judg-
ment on the conduit of such a man as Lord HuTo
I Nscw has proved himself to be, still less 50,.0f de-
Glaring an opinion so very unadvised and erroneous,
ats that which the author of the news from Con-
stantinople would impute to his Lordship.
