This morning Lieutenant CORBETT arr ived with
DISPATCHES FROM EGYPT.

He reached Portfmouth yefterday in the FLORA
frigate, Captain MIDDLETON, charged with dif-
patches from Lord KEITH, containing the parti-
culars of the aftion between the Britifh and French
armies on the 2I ft of March, in the neighbourhood
of Alexandria.
We have pleafure in anncouncing that the bat-
tle terminated in favour of our Countrymen, but
we are concerned in slating that the (laughter was
dreadful on both fides. The lots of the French is
Rated at 4,000 men ; that of the Britifh we have
not yet heard mentioned. We have heard, bow-,
ever, what we will; may not receive confirmation,
that General Sir RALPH AsEacaoMßY, who along
with Generals Moose and HOPS, Sir SYDNEY
SMITH and Colonel PAGEr, was wounded in the
battle, la awe dead of his wounds. •
The French were the aiTailabts in this aCtion,
and were led on by MENOU in perfon. One of
their regiments. called Bowarasrs's Grenadiers,
WAS entirely cut to pieces; and BONAPARTE'S in-
vincible standard, entrufted to its care, is now on
board the FLote frigate, and will foon be in
London.
The FLORA left Alexandria five weeks ago, at
which time Alexandria was ftill in the hands of
the French.
We forbear entering much into the particulars
which have reached us, as a London Gazette Ex-
traordinary is expelled to make its appearance
fometime this Evening.

A fubfidy of joo,oool. as our Readers will fee
by the Parliamentary Proceedings, is to be paid
to the QUEEN Of PQRTyGILL. This fun; we fear
will do little in the way of refinance ; but if ju-
dicioufly applied may, perhaph procure a delay
which may fave to this Country a much larger
Turn of Britifh property now in that Ringclom.—

We can now nate with confidence, that there
was no truth in the (tory of Admiral de WINTER
having received orders on the 4th, to put the Dutch
fleet under the proteftion of this eountryl • A Gen-
tleman is now in Linidon, ;who left the Hague on
the sth inn. and Rapt, that no fuch think had
tranfpired there at that time; nor was there any
tumult.
The anonymous letter of which we !poise two
dayi ago, and which fome of the prints ire giving
even to-day without noting, as they ought to do,
that it was anonymous, was probably a ttock-
Jobbing trick, founded on the ripotted intention of
the French Government to unite Holland to France,
• meaftire which the Cabinet of the Thuilleries is
now generally believed to be bent upon.---Franie
and Prof's; have not, it is faid, the beft tinder-
&luting at the piece& niOrnenti this may account
for the eagernefs of the former td peers themfelves
of Holland.

The I:l2Ess the Puseassts woken airing yet-
terday in their carriages round by Richmond.
Admiral Sir Myna Patten has arrived at Yar-
iMouth, in the ittsncmg frigate, Capt. HAMMOND.
Lard NILSON remains with the command of the
fleet.. We do not hear that the BLasictis has
brought any news of importance from the North.
Yefterday being the feaft of the Afcenfoon, the
boundaries of the different Pariffies were prome-
naded by the Gentlemen of their diftrifts, attended
by the charity children.
Yelterday the ad Regiment of Foot Guards had
a field day in Hyde Park.
The firil battalion of the brave Ennilkillen regi.
went it in Egypt, the fecond at Minorca ; and it
is an anecdote unparalleled in the hiftory of the
army, that the veteran General Lord Csaams,
who is Colonel of its entertained the officers on the •
16th of April, 1746, the day the battle of Cul-
loden was fought : he was then a Captain.
Colonel FISH ut, of the Engineers, is appointed
Chief Engineer in Ireland.
Colonel Master, of the Royal Artillery, fet off
laft week for Dublin, to take upon him the com-
mand of the Artillery in Ireland.
We underhand that tome hopes are Rill enter-
tained by the friends of General KNOX that he
may be fafe.—,Some letters from Jamaica mention
s report that the veld on board of which he was
had been driven to Honduras. We than be very
happy to have an opportunity of confirming thefe
reports.
The French Government is fo anxious to fend
reinforcements to Egypt that !hips are ready to fail
with troops, &c. from almoll every convenient port
of Italy and Spain, as well as thofe of France.—
While Lord Km H's fleet continues off Alexan-
dria, the chances of getting in are very much
againft the enemy.
The lenience of Kinn Waits having expired, he
was on Tburfday laft difcharged from the horrors
of a Penitentiary-houfe, on giving wool. fecurity
for good behaviour for ten years.
