The accounts received by Government from Egyprl
were yelleidAy publifhed in a Supplement to the
Gemate of the preceding night. It will be Peen. by
General FRASER'S letters, that the accounts pre-1
publifhed were no .way exaggerated. The •
General's fecond letter is dated on board the Canopus,
from which it is, infetted by fume, that he was pre-
paring to evacuate Alexandria ; but as loch an
eention would certainly have been announced in the
difpatches,• bad that rneaftire been in cont^mplation,
it is more reafonable to infer that lie was there for
the purple of concerting filch arrangements as ne
cetlity might render necellary in the event of reitsfurce•
ments and provsflonS. being ling in reaching him;
But as we know that Itipplies of men, prorifions and
Witter, were fent from Malta early is May, we may•
entertain a hope that a congnetl, which lix'years ago
was deemed of luch importance, as to employ an
army of 23,D00 men to :Zit the Port-re in driving
out the French, will be deemed worthy to be pre-
ferred from being delivered up to ;::em, now that
the Tut ks and French are Allis. Mr. Pirr knew
well the importance of Egypt, and we hope it never,
will be undervalued by thole who have the dirveticn
of our public affairs. 'file follou lag ar,; tie accounts

The following intelligence has been rec• iv:A by Virc,unt C.
alc-
rcagh,oneof his Majcity's Ptinripal Sccretarits of state, from
IV.ijor G,meral Alcunder M Frafcr, Commanding Lis
Majefty's Land Forces in Egypt, tranfinitted in a Letter from

the Right Honourable General Fox, to the Right Ho::ourable

William Windham.
Extract of the . Copy of a Letter from Major General A M
Fiakr, to the Right Honourable William Windham, dated
Altxar.dria, April 6, 18,4, trancmittel to him by General Fos,
the origi,.3l not baying Leen reetivi.d.

Sir—My letter of the 27:h ult. has already inform-
ed you, that in conrequence hf the fitong reprefen
Winn of Major MitTett, his Majelly's Itefident here,
(a copy of which I then tranfrnitted) gating the rifle
the inhabitants of Altxandria rain of bzing flarved,
toilers Rnfetta and Raltmanie -we,e taken poireflion
of by his Majetly's troops, I had, with the concur-
rence of l(eat Admiral Sir Joho Duckworth, detach:
ed the 3tfi regiment and Chafreurs Thitannigoes,
under Major General NVauchope and 13tigadier Ge-
neral Meade, for that pn:pt-.l‘.
I am now un._kr the difagrccable neceffity of ac-
quainting you that, contrary t:) all expeaation, this.
titeaute did not focceed. 0::r troops took pr,frdlion
of the heights(( Ab-,tortnandol,r (which command
the town) without any lofs ; I,ut from circumflances
as yet unexplained, the General,- intlead uf keeping
his poll there, unfortunately was temp.ed to go into
the town with his whole force, without any previous
examiFeation of when the troops wet cf) fevcrely
handled from the windows and tlps of the houfes,
without ever feeiniy, they tn):aty, that it was thought
exr.edient to recite, more elpetialiy as Major General
Wauchnpe was unfortuna:eiy kii:ed, and the fecond
in command, Btigadier General Meade, leverely
wounded.

The troops, I underaand, althotizlli certainly
placed in a molt tryittg and pzrih,:rs fpnation, l)ehaved
extremely well ; and after having futn:reci, I am forty
to fay, very materially in killed and worouled (as
you will fee by the annexed returns); retire.d to
Aboukir, in good oriole!, without moleilation, *from
whence I direeled them to return to Alexandria.

I'llis has certainly been a ver y heavy 'and unexpec-
ted thrice upon us, more efpccially as every informa-
tion led me to conclude, that the oppolition, if any,
would be trifling ; and every precaution was recom-
mended that prudence could fuggeft-
Finding, however, by the rent .‘ed r:prefentation of
Major Ivtillett, corroborated by the perfonal applica-
tion of the Sorbagi, or Chief Magifirate, in the name
of the people at large, that a tarnine would be' the
certain and immediate cor;ferlucnce of our remaining
at Alexandria, without the occupation of Rofetta. I
have, with the concurrence, advice, and co-operation
df Rear Admiral Sir Thomas Louis (who commands
the fquadron here fince the departure of Sir John
Duckworth) detached another corps, under the com-
mand of the Honourable Brigadier General Sr!wart
and Colonel Ofiwald (as per margin 40) to efft 61 this
pur pole, without which it appears imprffible that the
mcafure propofed by his Majelly's Mi4iflers, of keep•
ing peffeflion of Alexand:ia, can be accomplillted.

I have the mortification to acqttlint you, that the
fecond attempt that 1 thought necelFary to mike
againli Rofetta ha, failed, owing to a great reinforce-
ment of the enemy being lent down the Nile from
Cairo, which overpowersd our troops, and obliged
