HAMBURON MAIL.

Hamby:moo, Auousr B.—lt is faid that the
Batavian Government has obtained leave to carry
on the herring fithery under the Pruffian flag.
Different letters from Paris confidently alert
that GAIITHIRAU Mt has returned to Toulon with
out effe.lhng his projeded debarkation.
The Clll pi Coss ut. has erafed from the lift of
Counfellors of State the name of Admiral GAN
rNsautss. He had fent the Chief Conful the rail

nutes of a Council of War held on the Coed of
Africa, at the difiance of 120 leagues from Alex-
andria, in which it was decided that it would not be
expedient to difembark the troops, as the paffage
acrofs the defart could not have been effeaed with-

oat very great lots. But BONAPARTE had fent the
;aloft pofitive orders to difembark, not only at the
diftance of 120 leagues from Alexandria, but in
Egypt itfelf.
Several agents of DANDRE, known under the
name of MAYOR ; and other agents of Wicxa•si,
correfpondents of the Committee of Bareuth, are
received and proteiled by feveral banking-houfes
at Franckfort. It is through this channel that all
the reports are circulated concerning new intrigues
in the Cabinets of Europe.
The Cu ar CONSUL is indifpofed. We learn
from Brufrels that the Ex-Direflor BARRAS lives

The intelligence of the fall of Cairo has canted
the moll lively joy to prevail here. As you have,
probably by this time received the official account,
p
it is unneceffary for me to enter into any particu-
lars. The number of troops who furrendered was
soop, and their determination to fubmit was acce-
lerated by the dreadful ravages which the plague
had for Come time continued to make. I have
this moment learned that the fall of Cairo render-
ing the fitnation of the enemy at Alexandria en-
tirely hopelefs, General Mesiou propofed a capi-
tulation, by which his troops were to be conveyed
home to France. The prcpofal was jnaantly tent
to General Hurcessisox, whole anfwer was not
received at the departure of the laft accounts, but
there is no doubt of its having been agreed to.
This important intelligence has been received from
Conftantinople, and as it teems extremely probable,
I think I may venture to congratulate you on the
entire fulijugetiou of the enemy in Egypt. The
next *deices are expeifled to bring the particulars.
Vilma A, AUGUST 7.—Lord MIN TO received
yefterday a courier from Lord Ezora, at Confign-
tinople ; and in the afternoon 'communicated the
important intelligence, which he had received of-
ficially, that the City and Forts of Cairo, with the
whole corps of French troops which were there,
partly in garrifon, and partly in an entrenched
camp, had furrendered by capitulation to the unit-
ed Turkifh end Britiffi forces.—The French troops
are made prifoners of war, and are to be conveyed
to France. The joy of the inhabitants of Cairo
at the figning of the capitulation was indefcribable ;
and had it not been for the Engliffi, the populace
would have proceeded to barbarous metres againft
the French prifoners. By the middle of June, the
GI•ND ViZIER, with the affiftence of General
Bore HINSON, and the Tell of the combined forces,
approached the fvs, and threatened them with a
general affault. The French judged it unadvifea-
hie to attempt to refift the attack of a force fo
much fuperior, and therefore laid down their
arms, rather than expofe themfelves to the confe-
quences of the forts being carried by affault. The
number of the prifoners is eftimated at about Soon,
among which are included Greeks, Armenians, &c.
In confequence of this event, the whole of Up-
per and Lower Egypt is in the power of the Eng-
lab and Turks, and Alexandria is the only place
in Egypt remaining in the pofreffion of the French.
—lmmediately after the entrance of the GRAND
\Taira into Egypt, that Commander, in conjunc-
tion with the Englifh, propofed to march imme-
diately, with all the force that could be (pared,
againft Alexandria; and it was expected that Ge-
neral MENOU would loon follow the example of
his comrades at Cairo, and fubmit to a fimilar capi-
tulation.—The Porte and the Public at Conflanto-
nople have exprefed the utmoft joy at this intelli-
gence of the furrender of Cairo • and it is now
confidered as certain that the French mull loon be
driven entirely out of Egypt.
To-day we received by the ufual poll from Con-
Ilantinople letters from that city of the loth of
July. Thefe letters (which do not come fo low as
the date of the intelligence brought by the courier)
Mention, that the want of water in Alexandria has
fo much increafed, that each foldier only receives
a tingle cup of water in a day. Againft the forts
at Cairo (before the furrender of Generals Bs zzi-
aso,Gaarios, &c.) feveral pieces of heavy artillery
bad been brought up. General Hurcit in sou had
received, by various ways, a reinforcement of 7000
Englifb troops; and every precaution bad been
taken by the Turks to prevent the landing of any
French troops. Two Turkilk frigates bad joined
Admiral Warren.
Accounts have been received here from. Malta,
that Admiral Ge AAAAA USIS had aaually calk
anchor on the African coat, thirty German miles
Irons Alexandria; but a fquadron detached from
Lord KEITH'S fleet making its appearance, he or-
dered his fhips to flip their cables, and returned.—
The Englifii, however, took eight empty French
tranfpnets. According to accounts from Connan-
tinople, die GRAND Simeon has fent prefents of
great value to the Caen' VIZIER, the CAPTAIN
PACNA, and Lord KEITH. On the 9th of July
the Chevalier de CORRAL, the Spanifh Minifter at
Cookastiaople, had his audience of entry of the

rolm and Oberingclheim fwort the oath of fidelity
to the French Republic, in their own name and
that of their Commonalties, on which occafion the
bells were rung and the artillery on the ramparts

Mentz will for tive prefent remain in their former
Rate. lain anonymous publication which lately ap-
peared it Paris, and is afcribed to General Etc ill-
MA late it IS propofeA, that only the inner walk of

that fortrefs fhould remain, but that for the pro-
teCtion of that city, two forts fhould be Toltec!, one
on Peterfaw, and the other near the mouth of the
Mayne. It is faid, that Generals Maaaseor, AN•
DEEM st, and CLARKS, are likewife of opinion that
the fortifications of Mentz might be razed.
Letters from Naples hate, that the Notes of the
Banks of that city (formerly in a very flourifhing
condition) amounting to 40 millions, are placed
out of courfe by the Government, which declared
that, at the return of better times, a partial indem
nificatioa fhould be made to the holder.. Intlead

tion, Conienti, has been put into circulation.
BRUSSELS, JULY appears by letters from
Holland that there is no longer any doubt of the
fpeedy failing of the Dutch fleet under Admiral
De WINTER. The troops on board the divifion
now lying in the road of Helvoet Sluys will be
difembarked in a few days, and will forni a camp
in the ifland of Goree. In the mean time the
workmen employed in the dock-yards of the Re-
public are moll aetively employed, and the fleet
will foon be augmented by feveral new frigates
and (hips of the line, which will fail the moment
that their crews are completed. The Engli(h con-
tinue to flop the Using boats, to enquire concern.
ing the preparations on the craft. The moment
that there is the leaft movement in any of the har-
bours an alarm-gun is fired, and in a few minutes
a number of enemies' (hips colleifted. Every thing
indicates the terror of the Britifh Government at
the menacing difpofitions made from the Texel to
Havre de Grace. The preparations for an im-
portant Expedition, neverthelefs, are more adive
than ever. °dicers have arrived at Dunkirk from
every part of France,. to go on hoard the flotilla
arming in that port. Events of the utmoft im-
portance may thus every day be expeCted.
AUGUST. 6.—lt is now known that the Englifh
Miniftry has rejeeted the greater part of the propo-
fitions which the Film-CONSUL had offered as a
bafis for peace ; fo that little hope is entertained
of a fuccefsful iffue to the negotiations which have
fo long cooinued between France and England.

FRANCS.

PARIS, AUGUST zr.

People milli have been a good deal (truck with
the importance attached in England to the late
operation of Nsison: This Thews the credit they
deferve for their flatements of what has taken
place at a diftance.
Lord NaLsok writes that the city of Boulogne
is in afhes. The truth is, that not one tingle bomb
reached either the town or the harbour. This may
be very eafily conceived. Our flotilla was an-
chored at the diftance of coo toifes from the en-
trance of the harbour, and Lord Netsom did not
approach nearer to any part of this flotilla than
t 800 toifes. He was thus not lets than 2300 toifes
from the entrance of the harbour. It is many
hundred toifes from the entrance of the harbour
to the city.
Of the 100 bombs which Miaow threw, 200 fell
upon the beach ; the moft of thofe were picked up,
and carried to the arfena]. All the reft were com-
pletely thrown away, and never bad a chance of
wounding any one. Two boats were a little
damaged, but again made ferviceable in 24 hours.
If the (bores about Dover were crowded with
people to witnefs the attack, fo were thofe about
Boulogne. Thus it was witneffed from the (bores
of both countries. Does not this make them re-
ferable the banks of a great river
Although we attach very little importance to
this fkirmifh, we cannot help mentioning that Lord
Nat-son, according to his own account, had two
objeas in view :-1. To compel that part of the
fleet which had anchored before the month of the
harbour to re-enter it. In this he failed, for our
(Lips did not move a yard from their petition.—
They even compelled him to keep at a greater dif-
tance when he was trying to come nearer them,
and afterwards kept him out of cannon fliot. a.
The fecond objeet was to deftroy the harbour of
Boulogne, and to burn the different divifions of
the fleet which it contains. Not a bomb, not a
bullet approached the town ; and after all this fufs
we had not one man killed or wounded, while
Naison coddles that many of his officers were
both killed and wounded.—Mseiterr.

Citizen PICHON, COMMifrATy General of Com-1
mercial Relations at Philadelphia, writes that
Citizen Vic Tot Hoc aas is generally efteemed
over all America. During the two years Vicroa
Huts ins has been Commiffary at Cayenne he has
changed the face of the colony. The CHIEF CON.
sot has diretled the Minifier of the Marine to in-
form him that his condutt meets with the entire
approbation of Government.
Letters from Minden, of the 6th of Augufl,•an-
nounce anew the approaching evacuation of the
Eleftorate of Hanover by the ?ruffian troops. It
will be entirely owing to the powerful mediation
of the Empalme of Rossia if this report has More
foundation than thofe that have preceded it. The
fame letters mention as the indemnities to be affign-
ed to the Pato ce of 0114111101, the bilhoprics Wurtz-
burgh, Bamberg and Fulda, which will be con-
folidated into one Rate. It is added, that the
Kota of PRUSSIA will have the bifhopric of Man-
lier and the Duchy of Berg.
Citizen Baca za, the Minifter of the Republic
at Ratifbonne, delivered in on the t tth Thermidor
( July 30), a note conceived in very ftrong terms,
calling upon the Diet to proceed with the fecula-
rizations wilhout delay, and Rating this to be the
only means of indemnifying the Princes of Ger.'
many and Italy, who, by virtue of the treaty of
Luncville, have a right to be indemnified.
