CONSTANTINOPLE, AL/GUST 25.-011- the 314
of July the CAPITA* PASHA, was at Rofetta, where
12,70° men were embarked for France, in purfu-
once of the convention at Cairo.—Among them is
a confiderible number of Copts, Turks, &c. Ad-
miral K t fuperintends this 'emharkation.
Avousr 3o.—The Englifb Ambaffedor here,
Lord ELGIN, has leceived further difpatches ft on:
Egypt, which come down to the sth of Augull ;
before thefe arrived many difadvantageotis reports
were circulated here, among others, one was that
BILIIOU in the beginning of July had made a fally
and taken prifoners more than moo Engtifh and
Turks, and obliged the enemy to raife the liege, or
rather the blockade. According to the difpatches
received by Lord ELGIN., the embarkation of the
French and their followers, who are to be fent to
France, in confequence of the Convention at
Cairn, has been the cattle why the operations
againft Alexandria have been delayed; the efcort.
ing of thefe, who amount to 13,000 in number,
among whotn are 4000 men in arms, artillery and
carriages, containing every neceffary, requires a
little army to preferve good order and tranquility
in the country.
The embarkation of the French and thole who
accompany them will begin on the 6th of Anglia.
and be finifhed on the gth : when-this is effeaed,
the Englifh army will march againft Alexandria.
General Meson has entrenched himfelf to the
teeth on the heights of Alexandria, and, the re-
doubts and other works render it very difficult to
Itorm thefe heights. As the French entrench.
ments arc at force dillance from the town of Alex-
andria, the allies will, when all their force is col.
direft their efforts to cut off the commu-
nication between thefe entrenchments and the city.
The French General appeared to be determined
to defend the place to the laft extremity, but there
are many malcontents among the garrifon, who
complain that their Commander means to make a
ufelcfs factifice of their blood. Great fickncfs pre-
vails among the French, occafioned by the want
of provifions, and they are in great want of wine
and brandy.
There is likewife tome ficknefs among the Eng.
lifh, but not to any alarming degree.
The inundation of the Nile has alfo contributed
to the delay of the military operations.
TheEnglifh in Egypt have received a reinforce.
bent of sOOO men.

AFFAIRS OF JrIOLLANA

HAGUE. SEPT. 19.
The acknowledged neceffity of a change in the
Contlitution of the Batavian Republic, appeared
to hare occupied for kite time the majority of the
Executive Dire&ory. This majority has at length
fubmitted to the people it's projea upon this point,
by communicating it, by notificafion, to the Le-
giflative body of the nation. A tingle voice in the
firft chamber of the Legifhttive AWembly, formed
the majority, contrary to that upon which the peo-
ple was coofulted in there circumstances. The fe-
cond Chamber was divided in opinion. To pre-
vent the confequences which might follow fmm
debate upon this fubjea, and to leave to the peo-
ple time to-exercife their rights and exprefs their
opinion, the Directory has judged-it expedient to
fufpend the fittings of the reprefentative bodies,
until the decifion of the public is known, and the
provifional (butting up of the two Chambers was
performed yefterday evening by the Miniflir of
police, and the Commandant of the Batavian troops
according to the order of the Direaory, and the
approbation of the Prefidents of both Chambers.
This was performed without any difturbance, and
without any perfon offering the least oppo.fation.
When all was finifbed, the Executive DireFtory
invited Citizen SE moymcit, Minifier Plenipoten-
tiary from the French Government, and General
Am o a EAU, to be prefent at their fitting, to receive
information of their projeas, and of its execution.
The Diredory in the mean time iffued an Arret
for the maintenance of publiniranquility, by which
they confided to General Anotasau, the Com-
mander of the Direaorial Guard, the command
of the troops of the Legiflative Body, and other
Batavian troops Rationed in the conflitutional li-
mits. Every thing paned with the greateft order,
and General Alto EILLAU accepted this command
to enfure the continuance of public tranquility.
Neither Citizen Sationvita.z nor General Algal-
atru interfered in the leaft in the bitfinefs, nor did
the influence of the French Government decide
any one preliminary meafure.
