Plfpatelses, of which the fallowing arc Copies, have been this
day received at the Once of the Right Hon. Lord HAMER'.
BOAT, his Majefty's Principal Secretary of State for Fordim
Affairs,from the Earl of EAO$l4 and Major Hozzowa v.
Impala Ottoman Camp of the Grand Vizier,
Mr Loan, Bessalhaffer, May so,
I had the honour of addreffing your Lordfhip on
the ad of May from Salahich, which place his
Highnefs the Grand Vizier left the 7th, and the
following day arrived at Belbeis, where the ad-
vanced corps of his army had been encamped for
['owe time before.

Qn the uth infant his Highnefs received intel-
ligence that the enemy had early that morning
snarched a confiderable force from Cairo, on the
road towards Belbeis, where his Highnefs was then
encamped. In the evening a further confirmation
of this intelligence was brought, when the enemy
was in full march. The Vizier, after dark, or-
dered Tahir Pacha, with three thoufand cavalry,
and three light field-pieces, to advance to meet
them, and if a favourable opportunity offered
during the obfcurity of the night, to attack, if not,
to impede their progrefs as much as poffible.—
About ten o'clock at night they met, 3 leagues
from camp, when each halted, and lay on their
arms during the night, and until eight o'clock in
the morning, at which time Tahir Pacha com-
menced an attack. He was foon after reinforced
by fifteen hundred cavalry. It was now found
the enemy had come forward with about fourteen
pieces of artillery, fix hundred cavalry, and four
thoufand infantry. His Highnefs therefore ordered
Mehemmed Pacha to move forward with five thou-
land men, cavalry, and Albanian infantry, and
nine light field pieces; the enemy had eight-poun-
ders in the field. His Highnefs afterwards ad-
vamped himfelf, and took the command, which
was attended with the happiea effeft.
The enemy moved intm a wood of date trees,
where they were attacked by the cavalry and in-
fantry with great fpirit for three hours, when the
enemy retired from the wood, taking potation on
the plain, their left to the wood, and forming a
hollow fquare on the right. The Albanian infan-
try advanced to the edge of the wood, and in this
fituation galled them confideribly ; and upon the
Turkifh cavalry threatening their right, they
changed pofition, and attempted. to gain the
heights, in which they were prevented by a rapid
movement of cavalry, who gained the fummit.—
In this manoeuvre they were annoyed by two gun;,
which were advanced by his Highnefs on the oe-
c.ifion. At this time the French commenced a de-
cided retreat, and were driven beyond El Hanka,
a diflance not lefs than feven miles from the place
of the fir(! operations. The Grand Vizier, who
hid commanded his troops with great gallantry
and prompt decifion, then rave orders for them
not to purfue any further. The lots on either fide,
for the time they were cite -aged, was finall. The
Turks had about thirty killed and eighty- wounded.
Fiench, I think, ILA about fifty killed anal
cri,e prifoner ; the ntimh,:r of "lair wounded con! I
atA be afccrtaiiied, 45 they tool. them oil the hal

*Therarklet ftrree -engaged en this occafion did
not at any time exceed nine thoufand. •
Whilft I was congratulating his Highnefs in the
field of battle on the fuccefs of the day, we received
additional fatisfalion by the arrival of the intelli-
gence of the capture of Fort Lefbie, at Damietta,
and two fmaller Forts depending on it, by a de-
tachment from the Vizier's army.—l had the ho-
nour of acquainting your Lordfhip, in my letter of
the zd of May, that his Highnefs intended fending
a force againft Damietta. This intention he car-
ried into effeet on the 6th, by ordering Ibrahim
Pacha, with two thoufand five hundred men, and
five picces of artillery, to march immediately for
that purpofe ; and it appears by Ibrahim Pacha's
report to the Vizier, that every arrangement had
been made for the attack of Fort Leibie on the
morning of the t4th itiftant, when it was dif
covered that the Fort was evacuated, and the gar-
. rifon had retired.
- -

I beg leave to inform your Lordthip, that dur,
ing the aition of the 16th inftant, myfelf and Ma-
jor HOPE of the Royal Artillery, were in the field
with the Grand Vizier, Captain LACY, of the
Royal Engineers, with Mehemmed Pacha, and Cap-
tain LEAILE, of the Royal Artillery, with Tahir
Pacha, to render every afliftance in our power.
The combined forces under Mtjor.General H T-
CH IN SON and the CAPITAN PACHA, are about five
hours diftance in the Delta, but are expeeted here
'in a day or two. I received a letter from the Ge-
neral this morning, who informs me, he has taken
a convoy of five hundred and fifty camels, and fix
hundred French prifoners. I have the honour
to be, &c. (Signed) CHARLES HOLLOWAY,

I have the molt fincere fatisfadion in forwarding
to your Lorcifhip the inclofed difpatch from Lieu.
tenant-Colonel Hoz LOWA Y.
The modeft and unaffuming
.manner in which
this deferving Officer has mentioned himfelf and
the Britifir under his orders, impofes upon me the
obligation of Rating to your Lordfhip what I had
learnt by their private communications to me from
Jaffa and Gaza: that as loon as the determination
was formed for the Vizier to advance into Egypt,
Lieutenant-Colonel Hozzoway propofed that dif-
tribution of the Turkifh army, and that order of
march, which have effeetually enfnred this un-
looked for fuccefs over the French. The advanced
guard was compofed of a Idea body of cavalry,
under Tahir Pacha, and of Albanian infantry un-
der Mehemet Pacha ; the firft, accompanied by
Capt. LEAKY, the fecond by Captain La c sv, each
receiving their orders from Colonel HOLLOWAY,
who remained near the perfon of the Vizier.
It is by this well-combined difpofition, by the
endeavours which were ftrenuoufly ezercifed to
prevail upon this corps to difembarrafs themfelves
of their fuperfluous attendants, and by giving con-
fidence to the Turks in their own means, that Co-
lonel Hozzoway has been enabled to bring thefe
troops to keep in check, during many hours, a
French Army of superior force—to counteraa its
plans—to attack it—to feize every advantage of
its pinions and of ground, and, after manoeu-
vring with fcitnce, during (even hours, to repulfe
it with lots, and gain a complete viaory. In the
account which the Vizier has fent of this anion
to the Porte, Ws Highnefs (peaks in the higheft
terms of the fervice done by the artillery, Which
Major Hots is well known to be fo very capable
of direeing. (Signed) ILCIIN.

DOWNING-11TREBT, JULY 31.
A Difpateh, of which the following is a Copy, has been this
Day received at the Mee tithe Right Hon. Lord HOBART.
one of his Majelty's Prindpal Secretaries of State, frees
Lieut. General the Hon. Sir Joon Haar Hirrcentson,
/LB. tionuaandlog hie Majeity's Forms in Egypt.
Head.fteirters, Camp, near Alkam,
My LORD, Jane 1, iSoi.
I have the honour to inform your Lordihip, that
the French abandoned the pofition of El-Aft, on
the .7th of May, which we occupied the fame even-
ing, and on the 9th we advanced to Rahmanich,
where the French were potted with upwards of
three thoufand infantry, and eight hundred caval-
ry. We at firft imagined that they might have
' endeavoured to have maintained that pofition, but
our corps on the eaßeni bank of the Nile having
got into their rear, took the fort'of Rahmanich in
reverfe, which probably induced the enemy to re-
tire in the night between the 9th and loth, leaving
a garrifon in the fort, which furrendered in the
morning, amounting to t to men, commanded by
a Chef de Brigade ; we alto took the fame day
about fifty cavalry and three officers coming from
Alexandria. As the enemy retired towards Cairo,
it became necelffiry to follow them, in order to co-
ver the army of the Grand Vizier, and to fecure
a junaion with the expeaed reinforcements from
India.

---
Nothing happened of any importance until the
t4th, when we fell in with a valuable convoy of
germs on the Nile. They had come from Cairo
down the Canal of Menouff, which joins the Da.
mietta and Rofetta branches of the river. From '
this eitcumftance they knew nothing of the retreat
of General L♦ GRANO! from Rahmanich. About
one hundred and fifty prifoners fell into our hands
and feveral heavy guns, fome of them intended
for the defence of Alexandria. The convoy itfelf
was very valuable, and is a great lots to the ene.
my. We found on board all kinds of clothing,
wine, fpitits, &c. and about five thoufand pounds
in money.
On the 7th, when encamped at Alkam, we
were informed by the Arabs that a confiderable
body of French, coming from Alexandria, were
advancing towards the Nile, near the fpot where
the boats of the Capitan Paella then were. The
cavalry were immediately ordered nut, with two
pieces cf cannon, under the command of Briga-
dier General Dor, xr, fupported by his brigade of
infantry. Cblonel CAVALIIIL, who commanded
the French convoy, an loon as lie perccivi.d the
beats (.t. the Capitan Pacha, fufpeeted that our
army rutill be near, and tbet:loic retired into the
derail, 'where we ftbilOWCJ him. Tlic cavalry
came up with him, a:tc: a march of about three

hours. A flag of truce was fent inio them by Major"
Witsow of the Hompefch, requiring them to fur-
render, on condition that their private property
fhould be refpefted, and that they fhould be fern
to France by the firft convenient opportunity.
With there terms they complied, and laid down
their arms. They amounted, in all, to about 600
men, infantry, cavalry, and artillery, together
with a confiderable portion of the dromedary
corps, one four-pounder, and 550 camels. The
prifoners taken are all Frenchmen, and of the belt
troops they had in Egypt.
On the 17th of May the enemy retired from the
Fort of Lifbet, on the Damietta Branch, and
formed a junftion with about two hundred men
which they had at Burlos ; this fort they alfo eva-
cuated, and embarked in five fmall retie's, four of
which have been taken and carried into Aboukir
Bay ; the fifth endeavoured to efcape towards
'Cyprus, but a Turk&
frigate was left in chase of
her, fo that it is more than probable fhe has fhared
the fame fate. The garrifons of the two forts
confifted of about feven hundred men; fo that in
all we have taken, from the gth to the zoth, near
fixteen hundred men, which makes a confiderable
diminution of the enemy's force in this country.
The French made a molt extraordinary rapid
march from Rahmanich to Gizah, where they ar-
rived on the 13th, and immediately crofTed the
river to Boulac.
-

- • • -- - -
On the 15th, they marched to attack the Grand
Vizier's army. His Highnefs anticipated their
intention, and made a forward moverhent aith a
confiderable body of cavalry on the night between
the 15th and t 6th. The armies remained for Tome
hours in the prefence ot each other, when the Ot-
toman troops attacked at about eight o'clock in
the morning, and after an anion of feven hours
the French retired, having loft between three and
four hundred men killed and wounded. They were
nearly the fame people who had retreated from
Rahmanich, and were about four thoufand or four
thoufand five hundred n3en.

--
I congratulate your Lord(hip upon the event
of this very important action; I have alfo much
pleafure in informing you, that the Mamalukes,
under the orders of Orman Bey, (fucceffor of Mu-
rad Bey,) have joined us, to the amount of about
fifteen hundred cavalry, inferior, certainly, to none
in the world. lam fanguine enough to hope that
the moll ferious good effeas will arife from this
junaion, as they have a mot intimate'knowledge
of the country, and the greateft influence amongft
the inhabitants.

I enclofe you the Capitulation of the Fort of
Rahmanich, and alfo a return of the killed and
wounded on the gth of May, which I rejoice has
been fo very inconfiderable.
