LONDON, IYOPEAII3ER 28, 1803.

WE have this morning received Letters from on
board our SquadiotibloCkading the Text 1, of the date
of the ztst inst. from within two miles of Calkper..
anci , Oar Ships had juit run along the Dutch
Coast, and no extraordinary preparations could
br perceived. Instead Of the multitude of Con.
boats, and- large Fleet of Seventeen Sail of the
Line, Stated in some of the Papers here, there
are in fa no more in the Texel than the Dogger
Bank, a 68
,gun 'Ship, the jean de Pit Guard.
ship, one 24. gun Frigate,tsix Schooners, and a
Brig. All accounts of the completion of the Dutch
Quota of Invading Boats are exaggerated. Neither
their hearts nor hands are with the projeaing Ty.
rant, whose speedy overthrow they. devoutly, and,
sihcercly wish and look:
,for.

OUR Aeaders will perceive we were tight in DUr
attaching little nr no credit to the' account of the
Channel Fleet 1, tying come. into Port. The Drrad.
nought, at 98 guns, and the Rambler, of 14., have
arrived at Plymouth from the Fleet, the last of
which left it off Brest only on Tuesday last. I:
had weathered the late gales without having sut-

mined any damage.
Captain STILIVA!Cr, Aid-de-Camp to Admiral
Lord Ku ITH, sailed yesterday from the Dalin* in
the Squirrel, of
.34. guns, for the Coast of France;
it was suppo,ed, with a view to inspat [he Enemy's
preparations. ,

ALL the Papers which we have lartly received
from the Continent, concur in giving us reason to
presume that the French are once,more turning their
eye towards Egypt I and the jealous acrimony with
which they comment upcin the arrival, of a Bey in
this'• Country, is a test of the consequence they
attach to the friendship of his Patty. We cannot,
therefore, abstain from a renewal of our en.
deavours to awaken our own Rulers also to that
important ohkel. If the security of our In.
dian Possessions was so much blendtd with
Egypt as to warrant the immense expenditure
of blood and treasure with which we gained our
objeas time, how, would that minister tlitTe to an
swer to his Country, or to' 164 own conscience, who
would suffer the fruits, of our 'Triumphs, through
apathy or thrungh rusillanlinity, to be again stolen
from us Z..---1n one of our fate Papers we observo.'
(and we again observe it) that the Campaign 4,,d
Conquest of the French in Egypt, Was the onht
gloriutr,s event that modern appals can Nevi,—

-ffigh as onr Maritime Fitments stand, we still
venture to repeat, that the achievement of that
Expedition was more sincerely flittering, more
a source of exultation to tfi, than the most bril.
liant 'of our NaVal Vidories. There our ex.
plaits of Cressy) Poitiers, and Ag. ineousl, seemed
to be revived again—there we had ,the long.wished
for opportunity to.convince our vainglorious Ene-
my, as 'Well as the world at large, that we were
equally' on both Elements his Superiors ;—and the
calmness which he, may, now behold in our Prepare.
tions to repeat our Chastisement, should he attempt
with his Bands of Plunderers to violate our Shores,
betokens the sense of conscious superiority with
which we happily feel ourselves inspired. Great as
the disgraces, signal as the overthrow and diseom..
fiture of the French were in Egypt, they still
are elate with pride, even 'once to have held a
footing there. The pillage wrested from the poor
defenceless Arab, is the trophy that decorates
their pageantries. What ought not then (we
repeat the question), our monuments, of triumph
to be, who (as ,we before remarked), on their
own ground, on their own strongholds, with
every advantage of possessioni: 4nd almOst.dohble
numbers on their side, -attacked, defeated,-' and
from thence with ignominy expelled them? To
our former mortifying observation, however, we
are again obliged to recur, that a mystery etas
since covered all our measures respeet to
that Country.' What advantages have' ive taken
steps to secure by our Vidories'? The arrange.
silents made there, either for a preference to our
Commerce, for our PolitiCalinterests,.for the supe.
rior benefit of British Subjeas,,' for the recompense
or saki), of our Adherents after, the apulsion of the
Enemy, or at the period of. the Eitacuation—nay,
even' the. fad of the Evacuation .itself, have never
been made known to us 'through any Official Channel.
We hake perused in the Foreign Papers from. time to
.1- —•
time, articles respeding the Meaturei of the British
General there, but we do not know, them from any
sowce of'authority.at home, Weltgain express our
hope to be acquitted from a desire of imputing any
blame or charge of omission to that exalted charader
Lord HUTCHINSON, who effedecl the above glorious
conqueit ; 'Ur to' his gallant :successor; Genetil
STUART, who so conspicuously distinguished 'himself
under his Lordship's orders, as well as conduded his
'own subsequent delicate Command with such ac-
knowledged ability ; bait the arrangements referred
to, whatever they-may have been, ought to meet
the public eye; and we reiterate the remark that
closed out former commentary on this head,"+of
'which the present is neatly a transcript, that the
whole mysterious history of Egyptian Politics is a
most interesting subjea of public inquiry.

The following is stated to be circulated upon the
Continent as the substance of the answer given by
the British Government to the propositions made
by the EMPEROR of Russia, for an amicable ac-
commodation with France.
" That His Britannic Majesty being ever aauated by a
sincere desire for Peace, would have entertained with tails-
faelion the- Mediation of His Imperial Majesty on the
grounds on which it was pp:posed, had the conduti of France
furnished a prospeEt of effecting an accommodation on prin.
eiplcs of eqnity and honour.---llut the British Nation hay.
nig by extraordinary sacrifices placed, itself in a great and int.
possiog state of warfare, His Nfajesty could not consistent
with his dignity and interest relax in its vigorous prosecution
until he had obtained ample security against the hostile
views of France."

It is not improbable that an answer something
like what is here stated may have been given by the
British Cabinet to the propositions of Russia, and
certainly this Country ought not to place itself in a
worse situatitin, by relaxing in its preparations,with.
out a secure pledge that the hostile -designs of
France against our independence and our existence
asa Nation are completely abandoned..

The EMPEROR. of Russ' 'is said to have avoweA
sentimtnca strongly militating akainst•the views of
the Fraser Coriwt, hut that he will be roused to
take an alive part against the designs of the con.
aular Government,' which threaten in their result
the dest runion of the political frame of Europt, still
`re rifAiirprobleins ticat.

It is also stated, that the KING of PausstA daily
,manifestrincteased uneasiness at the establishment
of the French in the neighbourhood of his dominions.
The Prussian Monarch has certainly grett reason to
regret his
'recent inatlion. as from what he has
lately seertof the conduit of his new neighbours,..
he must be convinced, that a pretext may be very ,
easily invented for drawing Supplies for the French
Armies from his own 'ferritories. It is however,.
stated, that the French Government having been '
informed, that a considerable number of Hanoverian,
Refugees had assembled at Etabden fir the purpose
of obtaining a passage to England, made a strong,'
remonstrance to the Court of Berlin against their
reception, and required that they should be expel.*
