Majefly's Forces during the period of ceattift.-.
Upon a fubjeCt fn recent, and fo fully improfed
upon the mind of the Houle, it mull be winced.
fary for me, Sir, to expatiate at much length....
The model, the manly and eloquent (tile of:an.
guage in which General Hutchinfon has defenbed
the valour and the viCtories of his alfociates in
war, make it unneceffary for me to trtfpafs on I
the attention of the Houle by the repetition of
detail, by comment or encomium. But, Sir, I
trait fo long as the valour of troops, the contain.
mate (kill of Commanders, and combination of
valour and patriotifin in the caufe of their country
can be duly eltimated in any army, fo long mill
the deeds of the Britilh Army of Egypt ht deemed

gratitude, and the records of national fame. Sir,
at the fame time that I pay this jut tribute of ap.
plaufe to the forces immediately under the corn.
mand of Lord Keith and General Hutchinfon, I
mull not omit a kill and well merited encomium
upon the conduit of a large detachment of his

conreft is now over—the fword fhanthed—and, I
truft in GOD, fheathcd fur ever. But thould
cir-
cumlances on any future occafion, unfortunately
render it neceffary to sinilteath it again, I have no
hefitation to rely that the military fame of the
Britifh Army of Egypt contains the principles and
feeds of new glory. I cherifh the hope, that when.
ever the cattle of their country (hall again gall
forth the Cervices of our brave feamen and foldicrs,
I that zeal, vigour, and ardent patriotifin, which
havefo eminently di (lingo ifhed their brave country.

bofoms, again firing every nerve, and route every
energy to emulate an example fo glorious, and
viftories fo honourable to their country.
Mr. ADDINGTON concluded by muting—That
the Thanks of the Hnufe be prefented to Admir:l
Lord KEITH, K. B. for the important Cervices, and
the aid rendered by him to the Army in Egypt.
Mr. JONES role and Paid, notwithflanding the
anxiety he had long entertained upon the fuhjeCt
of the war in Egypt, and the frequency in which
he had trefpaffed upon the attention of the. Houk,
in arranging certain parts of the conduit of the,
war, he role now not to revive any thing like an
invidious question on the fubjea, but to dr.clzrr
his moltcordial concurrence in the Motion, anw
his approbation and thanks to thole Minifters
had put an end to the conteft, and he hoped then
next Rep would be to put a fpeedy period to that

According to accounts from Leghorn, of th.:
".11 tilt- the laft adion which took place under
v•ills of Porto Ferrajo, was fought after the
„rival of a reinforcement of sco men, conveyed
to the aniance of the befieged by the fquadron
under Admiral Vy'AiIREN ; and in conk quence
whic.;•. they fuccceded in carrying the French en-
trenchments in front of Ponticell6 and La Madona
delle Grazier The French had then conceiuced
their force in the camp of La Grotte. whence
they kept up a communication with their head-
quarters :it Capoliveri. Soon after this event Ad-
miral WaE RCN agreed to an armillice, in expedi-
tion of official intelligence Born his Court relative
to the conclufion of peace.
The Zurich Gazette gives the following details
Of this expedition, upon the authority of a Citizen
Of Zurich, who was on board the fleet
When our Admiral, GANT EAUME, left Tou-
lon; the lira time, a ftorm forced him to return to
that port, and two of his large (hips were much
damaged. Having repaired his damage, he receiv-
id ordersfromGovernment to put to fea again, and
to !leer to the Me of Elbe, to bombard Porto Fer-
lltjo. It was then that ficknefs began to make fuch
ravages among the crew of his fquadron, that he
ivas obliged to fend a great many to the Lazaretto,
at Leghorn, and to fend back to Toulon two
t•}+', a 74, and a 52 gun frigate, for want of men
to man them. It was with one (hip of So guns,
eiree 74's, and the Creole frigate, of 42 guns,
that the Rear-Admiral attempted to land troops in
Egypt. The expedition took a favourable turn,
and the fquadron arrived, without having met with
the enemy, within 40 leagues of Alexandria, and
tali anchor.
In the evening, an Englifh fleet of 4o fail
.was defcried, which forced the Admiral to weigh
anchor, and proceed towards the N. E. The
(lading was to be attempted then in another place;
but the (bore was lined with Turlifh troops and
artillery. The Rear-Admiral, who began to want
provilions, and who could not, by proceeding,
etcape an enemy infinitely fuperior in force, deter-
:tined to let fail for France. It was fortunate for
Lis fquadron that he met the SWIFTSURt; of 74
4 ms, which was taken after a gallant anion,
well as feveral other veffels. He found fome
tirovifions on board thefe Chips; yet the crew would
have iserithed with hunger had not the wind been
favourable. Each man had but a klafs of water,alf a glafs of brandy, half a pound of falt beef,
and three quarters of bifcuit. The SWIFTSVIt E
was near being burnt by the imprudence of a per-
fon who let a -lighted candle fall into a calk of
brzndy.4
