We yefierday received Paris Journals to the
13th infl. inclufive, and this morning we received.
fets of the 14th and 15th init. They are very bar-
ren of intelligence. On the inv afion of Portugal
they arc almoll fluent. Nothing new appears from
Egypt, that is, on any kind of authority ; for there
is a vague report of a vitioryobtained by the French
on the 26th of March, which deferves no credit.
General Hurc HINSON'S difpatches were dated the
sth of April, eleven days fubfcquent to this pre-
tended Vieiory I
The Diet of the Germanic Body has definitively
refolved to refer to the EMPEROR, to arrange the
indemnities which are to be the refult of the peace
of Luneville, and has adopted a Coach /fume to that
effed.—The Tiers Confolides are 53 f. 5o c.
The Gazette of Saturday announces that the
army of the GRAND VIZIER is in motion to co-ope-
rate with our troops in Egypt. The Turkifh force,
however, does not feem to be very great. GH IZ.
ZAR PACHA has been induced to lend his aid to the
GRAND VIZIER. If this army can be brought in-
to Egypt It ma produce a certaiu divifion of the
French troops, and fo far be advantageous to our
caufc.

The private letters from our army mention that
Sir SIDNIT SMITH, with a body of troops, toge-
ther with the tailors under his command, was to
be detached in order to make an attack upon Ro-
fetta. There is no reafon to fuppofe that any part
of the army bad been detached to Rahmanie.
The French army therefore mull, by there va-
rious attacks on fo many different points, be ex-
tremely harafed and diffracted. The difcontent-
ed of all parties will join their enemies, and they
will have to contend both with armies in the field,
and with rebellion and mutiny among the natives.
Their communications muff be rendered infecure,
and their (mall garrifons expored to the violence of
(editions movement, inflamed by the rancour of fu-
per flition. They la relent flatter themfelves with
the hopes of aIE (lance by GANTH Liu vs a's fquadron;
but unlefs our fleet happens to be driven away from
Alexandria by a tentpeff, it is impoffible that rue-
conrs can be thrown into the place; and a number
of favontable circumftances muff combine to permit
GANT/MAO/4Z now to perform the obit& of his
voyage. Taking it for granted then, according
to General Hurcuiesom's flatement, that the
French, afembled with all their forces, have in
vain attempted to diflodge our army, fuppofing
that we are able to retain the potation we occupy,
there is a profpee of final fuccefs in the object of
the expedition. The vktory will remain with
thofe who can afford to expend moll nun : that,
from the opportunity of obtaining reinforcements,
our army is able to do. The French cannot re-
place the men they lofe, and. therefore, with all
their courage and pertcverance, they muff ulti-

•
?timely yield to a force that h perpetually renewed.
Unlefs they overpower General Hvvc Hi PI SON and
compel him to reimbark without delay, Egypt
mull fall into our hands.

FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE, MAY :6.

IMWNING-STREET, MAY 16, IgOI.

By advices received this morning from Major
HOLLOWAY, dated at the camp of the Grand Vi7it
at Gaza, March zo, 18ot, it appears, that on the
t Bth of that month, one thoufand Afiatic cavalry
advanced from that place, and on the following
day one thoufand Arab cavalry. This body is to
be under the command of Tani PASHA, as an
advanced guard. On its arrival at El.Arifb, it is
to halt a day or two until MAHONEY PASHA arrives
with a very confiderable part of the army,probably
about five thoufand men, when TA H Ilt PASHA IS
to advance to Catieh. It is the Grand Vizir's ir.
tention that thefe two thoufand cavalry fhould
join the Britifh army whenever the Commander in
Chief may require it.
It alfo appears, that DJ ECGAR. PASHA has en-
wed into an accommodation of all differences, and
ordered five thoufand of his troops to join the Im-
perial Army, for thu purpofe of the ezpulfion of
the enemy from Egypt. The firft party that
joined confined of about four hundred and fifty
good cavalry, well mounted; and feveral parties
have joined fence.

EXTRACT OF TWO LETTERS FROM AN OFFICER OP

RANK WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN EGYPT.

" Camp before Alexandria, March 25,
" We were getting forward artillery, &c. Etc.
with an intention loon to attack the politica of the
French, in front of Alexandria, when Me Noir col.
fated his whole force from Cairo and other guar.
tors, joined the army at Alexandria, and attacked
us before day-light on the 2 I ft. This attack was
upon our right and centre, oppofite to the Teem
and Guards. About 300 or 400 yards in front
of the referve, a redoubt open lathe rear had been
thrown up, which commanded the plain in front
of our army, in this was polled the 28th regiment ;
a large ruin, retired 3o or 4.0 yards behind the
right of the redoubt, flanked it on that fide, and
fwept the ground between the redoubt and the
fea—in this was polled the 58th regiment. If the
enemy. got poffeftion of this redoubt and the ruin,
it was impotlible for the army to keep its potation.
It had, therefore, been fettled, that in cafe of an
attack, the 42d regiment was to move up to the
left of the redoubt, and that the 23d regiment and
flank companies of the 4oth, were to fupport the
sith in the ruins. The army were ftanding to their
arms an hour before day-light, as ufual, when the
attack commenced. The firing began on the left.
This, however, only malked the real attackon the
right, which commenced immediately after on the
redoubt. They attacked it in front and both flanks,
There weve fix pieces of artillery in the redoubt.
They could not force it in front, but the ground
enabled them to lie under cover, and keep a heavy
fire on it. On the right, the 58th allowed them to
advance pretty clofe, and threw in two or three
fires, which killed fo many, that the rd went off,
and never made any other fcrious attempt on that
fide. On the left of the redoubt things were more
ferious • two bodies of the French had palled un-
ken, and when the 42d regiment arrived, and were
forming on the left of the redoubt,-one of thefe
bodies was difcovered completely in their rear,
and moving towards the ruin. The 42d faced to
the right about, charged the French column, and
not a man of four or five hundred efcaped being
killed, wounded, or prifoners ; they then, turned
againft the other body, and drove it ; but in doing
this their order was fomewhat deranged, and a
corps of cavalry got in'upon them ; they, bow.
ever, flood their ground, and fairly got the better
of the cavalry. -The French renewed their attack
twice afterwards, their cavalry again penetrated,
a part of them turned the redoubt, and got into
it; the aflth, who lined the parapet, without quit-
tins their Ration, turned round, and drove out by
their fire fuels as they did not kill. The foreign
brigade, under Brigadier-General Sruarr, had
moved up from the fecond line to the fupport of
the referve, and (hared in repelling the 'aft attacks.
Having failed in bvery attempt to force us with
their infaniry, they 'endeavoured to. diftodge us
with their artillery, and they cannonaded us for
an hour and a half, without our being able, for
want of ammunition, to retitrit.a fhot. As four

u ammunition arrived they retreated. The French
have loft in this aeion better than : their
cavalry, which was at isoo, is, they =reduced
to feven or Soo. We have buried 1 200 of their
me., and aoo. horfes. There can be no more con-
vincing roof of the fuperiority of our infancy,
than the three adtions which we have had fence we
landed. I never law filch determined bravery in
our troops, nor do tbelieve it was ever furpaffed.
The Guards were attacked at the fame time with
the referve, and were equally fuccefsful in repell-
ing the enemy ; but in my relation I have coned
Myfelf to what I faw.
Camp at Skirk JObery, Mares it.
44 Thepolition which the enemy occupies is very
flrong ; theheights are covered with artillery, and
the main body of their army is entrenched behind.
We have not yet difcovered ally natives amongft
them, neither has the regiment of dromedaries
been obferved. The French fight bravely, but
they never engage until! well under cover of
firong trains of artillery, of which they have a
profutino. They are particularly expert with the
flying artillery, and give us great annoyance, but
the refult of the two battles in which we have been
engaged has impreffed our foldiers with an ade-
quate opinion of theinfelves, and nothing can
equal the ardour of their eau% but the conftancy
and Ready valour with which they fußain it. I
fame days fince minutely infpeaed the beach,
where our troops debarked, and I was aftonifbed
in viewing the hill which the aBth, 42d, and 23d
regiments afcended in face of leveret pieces of
cannon. I declare to you I could fcareely walk
up it, and at the bottom for fome dißance the
fend is fo deep that each Rep I funk to the ancle.
For nearly half an hour our boats were under the
fire of fifteen pieces of cannon pouring grape (hot
and bombs—one of our boats was funk by a ghat
and we could only Pave firs of so men, who

were on board. The annals of the world do not
record an enterprize of more gallantry and deci-
Eon. MENoU, we hear, is [till at Cairo, endea-
vouring to make head againft the GR N D VIZIER,
who has broken up from Gaza. It is ..aderflood
that the French General has only a feu cavalry
with him at Cairo, having oppoted to us all the
troops be could collea, leaving even his depots
nearly ddencelefs.

. Eight o'clock in tlic rvcnirg,
elWe have been bombarding Aboukir during II e
;greater part of the day, but ;:he white flag is now
flying there, and a parley has been opened fur a
surrender. Sir R. Avstitcaostay has received a
difpatch from India, which, it is laid, will expe-
dite the departure of his letters to England.
. Camp before Alexandria, April 7.
" We occapied onr prefent pofition on the
morning of the 22d, and cover part of the ground
which formed the enemy's lines on the 2 1 tt. No-
thing has been attempted again(' Alexandria, and
I believe it is intended that we await the idue of
-the expedition again(' Rosetta, &c. which, if Inc.
cefsful, mull determine the fate of Alexandria,
without incurring the danger and difficulties of
attacking it. Its principal ftrength arifes from
two hills ftrongly fortified, and which are inac-
ceffible, excepting by one made road, on which there
is a powerful putt. Sir SIDNEY SMITH commands
the expedition againft Rofetta ; he has with him
the flank companies of the 4oth, the Qeen's re-
giment,and I believe all the Turks that -E
ave been
jacd, with his bi igade of Tailors. In the event
of his fecceeding at Rosetta, and we are warranted
in anticipating from the enterprise all that judg.
anent and gallantry can atchieve, this column is
to proceed up the Nile to Cairo, for which point
the GRAND `Rtes is 'likewife in motion. We
have certain advice, that a arcing column of his
army has entered Egypt, and advanced beyond'
Blrdenader, and were expeaed at Salehich about
the 26th ult. The French had a thong corps
there, but the garrifon has, we underftand, been
reduced to a few native coimpanies. The natives
are every where !evoking, and at Catech, Biftab.
Hahras, and other places, have joined the Impe-
rial flandird in crowds. We hear that five or
6oco fepoys have al-lived in the Red Sea, but no-
thing is known of their debarkation. The nature
of the intermediate country is, however, fuck, that
we cannot receive any. accounts except by way
of Cairo, and Msnott is, doubtlefs, on the alert
to intercept all communication. The difficulty
of reducing Alexandria, except by famine, fug.
gelled the idea of cutting off its communication,
by inundating the adjacent diftria, which could
eaGly be effeded by letting the water of the lake
of Madee into the country, on the Gde of Alexan-
dria. This lake, which fupplies the canal of Alex-
andria, is higher than the land at the entrance of
the canal, and is banked ; the lake itfelf is lower
than the lea which fupplies it; but there is a bar
between it and the lea fo fhoal, that the lake can
only fill to i certain depth. It was, however,
thought at head-quarters, that although this pro-,
led would ifolite the French, and hold them in
Inadivity, yet that it would have a like operation
epon us, and wcaddise attended with material in-
convenience. A (apply of horfes has been re-
ceived from Smyrna, and nearly the entire of our
cavalry are at prefent mounted. Our horfes hi-
therto have not exceeded three hundred, and
tee for the greater part not yet broke in. The
rench cavalry is excellent. their movements are
tapid, and precife beyond any thing I ever law;
bur infantry have, however, wholly furtnounted
the aperclumbons which they had been taught to
entertam of the enemy's cavalry. The Guards,
