BMA/BURGH, JULY 15.

Our Journals contain the following article :
The difpatcbes which the brig Lodi has brought
from Egypt have as yet only been publifhed by
extracts. A letter has however been received here
from a perfon belongingto the army on board the
Lodi, in the road of Nice, which Rates that the
fituation of affairs in Egypt is not the beR poffible,
of which there are two principal caufes :—Firfl,
the difagreement between feveral of the Generals,
efpecially beaveen MENou and Rso.sii FR ; and le-
condly, the plague which broke out in Cairo and
Upper Egypt a fhort time before the attack of the
Englifh, and prevented the neceffary meafures
being taken to collea the whole army, and attack
the En,rlith on every fide before they had time to
ellablith themfelves on fhore. Before the Lodi
failed, above 50,000 perfons had already fallen
viCtims to this dreadful difeafe. In Cairo nearly
rOOO die daily. Many of the French have been
carried off by this dillemper, which is the more
ferious a lots, as the number of French troops is
' now greatly diminifhed. In Upper Egypt, Moo..
RAD BEY, five o::hcr inferior Beys, and 1230 Ma-
malukes, have died of the plague. The difagree-
ment between the French Generals, was principal-
ly occalioned by the plan of operations againit the
Englith, which MENOU propofed, and Ittortteß
decidedly difapproved. The confequences of this
were a kind of fchifm ; for REUNIER, and ft veral
others of the Generals would no longer take a part
in the military operations, and at length REGN lER
embarked for France, where he has adually at-
' rived, with General DA MA S, late Chief of the
Staff of the Army of the EaR, under General
KL GEER, the General Infpeftor DANTE, alld fe-
veral other perfons of ditlinetion.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE s 5.

The.laft accounts which ve received here from
Egypt came down to the ad of June, and mention
that the army of the GRAND VIZIER had formed a
junkion near Cairo with the corps under the Capi-
tan PASHA. The Gamin Vizrza bad waited for
thic jundion to undertake an attack upon Cairo,
where there is ftill a French corps which en-
deavours to defend the forts there. We have
not as yet received any account that the Englifh
troops from the Eaft Indies, which have landed
at Suez, have joined the GRAND Vitiate. In an
aaion which took place on the 18th of May. be-
tween the French and the GRAND VIZIER, a corps
of Turks of sOOO men bravely maintained their
ground againit almoft an equal number of French,
who endeavoured to attack the rear of the GRAND
VIZIER, till they received a reinforcement of 4000
men, which compelled the enemy to retreat.
The difagreement which prevails among the
French Generals has been of great advantage to
the Turks and the Englifh.
The &nation of Alexandria is Paid to be more
than critical ; it is greatly in want of water. Dif-
patches from the Commandant of Alexandria to
the Firft Conful BONAPARTE, found on board a
fhip taken by the Englifh, fully confirm the diilref-
fed condition.of Alexandria.
We have received advices here, that the (qua.
dron of Admiral GANTHIALIME was feen on the
12th of June off Cape Spartivento, on the Coati of
Calabria. The next day the fquadron of Admi-
ral WARR Ls! appeared in the fame teas. It is be-
lieved here that an engagement has taken place
between the two fleets at the entrance of the Adri-
atic. • The French Admiral, it is fuppofed, intend-
ed to take on board more French troops at Otranto,
or Brindifi, and. thence proceed to Egypt, or pof-
fibly make an attack on Tome of the Turkifh pro-
vinces
in the neighbourhood of the Adriatic.
The Englifh Amballador here, Lord ELors,
fent off to the fleet under Lord KIITH, confidera-
ble fums of money, which he had received from
his Court. Mr. HAMILTON, private Secretary to
Lord ELGIN, has the charge of this money on
board the velrel that carries it.
It is lard Sir SIDNEY SMITH is returning to Eng-
land on board the Troia. His Secretary haft loft
his life in the Nile.

A Genoefe Journal of the 11l init. rays, that ac.
cording to accounts brought by a fhip arrived in
the Gulf of Spezzia, a confiderable Spanifli and
French fleet has been fees off the coati of Sardinia.
According to advices from Leghorn, of the sci
intl. a French fhip of the line and two frigates had
approached that road; and by accounts from
Naples, of the 24th of June, a numerous fleet bad
appeared in fight of that harbour, but their flag
could net be cfiGinguifhed.
The fame accounts from Naples, mention a tea
engagement between Barletta and Brindill ; this
engagement is likewife mentioned in letters from
Ancona, of the 22d of June, with the addition
that a cannonade had been heard there which
Lifted eight hours, and :flames had been leen to
attend at a diflance, as if from !hips on fire, but
nothing farther was known of the circumflance or
iffue of this engagement.
According to the laft accounts from Leghorn,
Porto Ferrajo Gill holds out bravely, notwith.
Handing the heavy bombarding, which has done
great damage; fome Englifh flaps have thrown
new fuccours into the place, and the French have
ereeed a new battery of four mortars.
At Naples intelligence is faid' to have been re-
ceived, that the French flotilla son the Nile, not-
withflat.ding its being fupported by land-batteries,
had been defeated by the Erglifh flotilla, and had
loft 18 men in killed, t zoo in prifoners, and a
part of the 17 Hoops of which it was compofed;
and that the Englifh fleet had afterwards advanced
againfl Cairo. The Italian emigrants have been
ordered to quit Leghorn, where Grncral isfurscr
had the no:di:try me:dm-es to prevent the
En lilh ficni being with pro% Th,
port of Le•lJrn hid born ihnt tip tnr a th:.,rt

evacuation of the Papal fort of St. Leo, and of
the province of Monte Feltro, on the part of the
French troops.
A dreadful calamity has happened in the Ro•
man territory, on the road from Chiete to Topoli,
by the finking of a mountain, which has rendered
the road impalTable at the diflance of a league and
a half. According to the accounts of fome French
officers, this phenomenon was the effect of an
earthquake, and has coil the lives of Soo inhabi-
tants and 23 Frenchmen. A river in that neigh-
bourhood has been obilruaed in its comic, by this
event, and has now formed a lake of the furround-
kg fields.
