ATTRACT OF A LETTER FROM A MILITARY GPWTLI•

MAN 011•NX IN THII ARMY IN EGYPT, DATED

" Alciandria, June 28.

•4 You will long ere this have heard of our misfor-
tunes at Rufetta ; they will not bear commenting on,
and the fubjeCt is painful to a degree. Till very
lately we were totally ignorant of the fate of Colonel
M•Leod's detachment ; however, the receipt of let-
ters, and the arrival of fr me of the poor fellows on
tbeir parole, have telieved our anxiety. I enclofe
your information the copy ()fa letter received from a
Serjeant of the 78th, giving a vet y clear and fair ac•
count of the Wind's. We are very much furptifed
In find that our prifoners are treated fo well by the
Turks ; it mull be owing to their apprehenfions of
the confequence of exafperating us too much. I now
entertain fanguine hopes that our ft iends in captivity
will be releafed ere long. In ha, Mahomed Ally,
the Chief of the Turks in Egypt, is much diatefled
by our excluding his commerce by fea, by which he
was enabled to fupport his troops ; they are much in
arrear, and lie has not the means to fatisfy them. A
fir man, it is repotted, has been received at Cairo
from the pew Grand Seignior, requiring that honili-
ties thall ceafe with the Englifh, and that a good un-
derflanding thall be maintained with us. Mahomed
Ally has refuted compliance with this mandate, on
the plea that he is independent of the Porte ; bow.
ever, I really believe that his enmity to us reaches no
further than a defire to prate& his authority in that
varier againfl any encroachment on our part. Two
imeltike Beys, of the family of Elfy, have lately
been here, they were bearers of poporals from
Chaern Bey Elfy, fuppofed to be offers of affinance.
One has returned with General Frafer's anfwer. I
have had frequent converfations with thefc Bey.,and
I am thoroughly perfuaded that they were much at-
tached to us; indeed it is but natural that they
mould be favourable to the views of any power ini-
mical to the Turks, with whom they are always at
open war. The corps at prefent here are the at fi
regiment, 319, firn and fearind battalions of the 3sgth
regiment, 6:d regiment, 78th, Chaffeurs Britan
niques, De R(.lle's, Sicilian Volunteers, detachment
of the aoih Dragoons, and a proportion of artillery,
altogether about five thoufand men—they are divi-
ded into two brigades, the firn commanded by Bti-
gadier General Stuart, compoled of the 3111, 62d,
78th, Chaffeurs Britanniques, and •De Rolle's ; the
fecond, commanded by Colonel Ofwald, and confin-
ing of the firti and fecund battalions of the 3sth, the
2 la, :Ind Sicilian Volunteers. The fecond brigade,
excepting the fccond battalion of the 3sth, which is
at Ahuukir, occupy quarters in the town, she Sicilian
Volunteers garanning the Pharos. The fire bri-
gade is difttibuted as follows :—the 319, encamped
at the wellern lines, extending from Lake Mareotis to
the Old Harbour; the 6zd in old ruins near Fort
Caffarelli ; the regiment De Rolle's garrifoning
Fort Triangulaire ; and the Chaireurs Britanniques
encamped between the outer walls and the town, half
way between Forts Cretin and Caffarelli. Tice for-
mer is occupied by a detachment from the In bri-
gade, and in the latter a guard of thirty men mounts
daily from the fecond brigade. We have a (mall
party at the cut which communicates the waters of
Lake Mahadin with thole of Marentis—thefe lakes
are now ve►y neatly on a level. Our lines to the
wenward are Rrengthening with a chain of works
that will render them very formidable. Fort Des
Damns flanks the tight. Thus you find the whole of
our force, excepting one battalion at Aboukir, con-
centrated within the outer walls of Alexandria. The
force of the Turks at Cairn, Romanic, Damanour,
and Roletta, is about fixteen thoufand men ; the
Mamelukes are divided between Siouth, Mantuluth
and Benefoff—their force confills of about too real
Mamelukes, and double that number of followers.—
They are not on the belt terms atnongft themfelves.
You know they %redivided into four families or tribes,
viz. that of Ibrahim Bey, Chahim Bey, Murad, (a
Balichi), Chahim Elfi, and Ofmay Bey Huffan—the
former is Khiben, a Chief. The two Beys who have
been here were in England with Elfy Bey, whole
e'rves they were—they are called Ahrnid Bey, and
Imman Bey Ameetbluya Elfy. About three weeks
ago Mahomed Ali fent in a flag of truce, preparing
the relate of our prifoners, t►n condition that we
fhall evacuate Alexandria. This, of cnurfe, was
treated with contempt. %Vernal anzioufly wait the
confirmation of the report which has prevailed for
fume days, that there is a peace with the Porte. Goa
knows how it will affeel our fituation here. I hope
it will be the means of withdrawing us—for now
that there appears not the lean chance of ;alive ope-
rations, it it the mon anxious with of us all, altho'
it will give us the deepen regret to leave the country
with the in►pretfions on• the minds of the people,
which have been caufed by our misfortues at Rofetta.
We &mad. I fear, until the impreffion is done away,
find a very different reception at Alexandria, had we
again to take it. Sir Thomas Louis died here about
three weeks ago. Captain Holloway has fucceeded
him. The naval force now here is computed of the
Canopus, Tigre, Standard, Apollo and Walton.—
The Canopus and Glatton leave this, the fiat fair
wind, for Malta. We get well fuppliial with all ar-
ticles of pavilions ; water is rather fierce and bad.
We have tOOO Fick, of which number goo are oph-
"bathetic Gates."

On Tnefday morning a boric, which was drawing
a cart, filled with hops, through Wincheiter-fireet,
Canterbury, rudder!), (not fright, and the driver
luting command of him, having no reins. the cart
unfortunately entitled a poor woman againft the fide
al a )route, by which fire was Co fhockingly bruited
that the expired immediately. The deceafed was a
pnnr travelling woman, a widow, and has left two
tbidren.
