Yefterday Captain DAY, of the Royal Navy, ar-
rived exprefs at the Admiralty from Lifbon, bring
ing advices that the Chevalier Ds PINTO, the Por-
tuguefe Minifier for Foreign Affairs, had quitted
that city, with full powers to negociate and fign a
Treaty of Peace with the French and Spanifh Go-
vernments. It is added, that the French are em,
ployed in equipping a confiderable portion of the
Spanifh fleet at Cadiz, to the number of nine fail
of the line, which, with the French fquadron, and
five fail of Portuguefe (hips now at Lifbon, pre-
paring alto for immediate fervice, will afford the
Cousut an addition to his navy of twenty fail of
the line; and may probably induce him to give
• our. gallant officers and brave tars another oppor-
tunity of adding a farther flock of laurels, to the
ample crop which they have already reaped in the
field of glory.

It is not neceffary to offer any remarks with the
fubjOined pleafing intelligence, publiffied officially
this morning in a Gazette Extraordinary:
DOT/NING•ETRIRT, Just 4, ißoi.
The following Copy of a Letter from Lieute-
nant-General Sir Jon t 4 Heir Horca tirscur, K. B.
addreffed to the Right Hon. HENRY DUNDAs,
has been this day received at the Office of the
Right Hon. Lord Hosear ; as alfo the Copy of
a Letter from Lord ELora,addreffed to the Right
Honourable Lord Hawirssoar, one of his Ma.

Copy of a Letter from Lientecam-Clemeral Sir jean Hsu
Holmium* pi, K. B. to tie Right Hoeograhk Hamar
DVIDAS, dated Camp before Alelandria, April so.
Sia—lt is with grist pleafure that lam to
inform you of the fuccefs of a corps .of Turks
and Britith under the command of Colonel Sr sx-
Mt. They were ordered from hence about ten
days ago, for the purpofe of forcing the enemy
from the town and cafile of Rofetta, which com-
mands the navigation of the Nile. This operation
has perfeßly fucceeded. We are now maters of
the Weftern branch of that River, and of courfe
have opened a communication with the Delta, from
which we (hall derive all neceffary fupplies, as the
' French have feared), any troops there, and none
capable of making a ferious refiftance.
The Enemy had about eight hundred men at
Rofetta, when they were attacked. They made
, k but a feeble effort to fuftainthemfelves, and retired
to the right bank of the Nile, leaving i few men
killed and prifoners. They left a.garrifon in the
Fort, againft which our Batteries opened on the
*6th, and it furrendered onahe loth infant: The
i
conditions are the fame as were granted to the
'
cattle of Aboukir.
I have many obligations to Colonel Sterrett
for the real, a4ivity, and military talents, which
he has difplayed in the conduit of this important
fervise ; and I beg leave to recommend him as a
deferring and molt excellent officer. (Signed)
J. H. Hurcurw, sow, Major-General.
Copy al a Letter from Lord Eton. to Lord HAw a a saute ,
deed tonflantlimple, May 9,1801.
My Lord—Mr. MORIER having returned from
Egypt, have the fatisfafftion of being able to lay
before your Lordlhip a far more particular ac.
count of the affairs and proceedings in that coun-
' try than it has hitherto been in my power to coin-
. •
limunieate. He left the camp before Alexandria on
the sad ult.
At that time the enemy remained in their Prong
pirfition trn9n the heights near the eaftein walls of
Alexandria—their numbers about fix thoufand
men. They are fill in anxious expectation of re-
ceiving reinforcements, particularly that which
hael been announced to them &scorning from Ad.
roiral GARTH AU PI E.
The lots of the enemy, according to the numer.
. .
. , ons reports which have been collated, certainly
exceeds five thoufand men, and a great proportion
of Officers : Four Generals are known to have
been killed. Every encouragemeot fame to have
..'4lbren given and held out to the French army to en.
• • lure the:r utmoft exertions. AMong other things,
thew ware taught to expect no quarter from the
Priura. The prifoners agree, that in no part of
this war hid fuehhard fighting, or fuch determin-
ed bravery ever been feen, as they have met with
from our army in Egypt.
I preform that Sir RALPH Astacitom sea &
fence from the camp, in confequence of his wounds
on the 1I ft of March, had created a momentary
fufpenfion of our operations;- and the irreparable
loft oecationed by his death mull alfo neeeffinly
have checked the proreetitleh of plans, in the for-
mation-and ernention of Which he had always borne
fo leading.* part. The CAPTAIN PAC Ns did not
arrive in time to fee Sir RALPH Assactrniar ;

but it appears that General HuTcatttso►t follow.
lowed his Excellency's intention relative to the
troops on board the Turkifh fleet, by employing
them againft Rofetta,- and accordingly direeted
Colonel SPENCER, having under him a corps of
about eight hundred Brittlb, to proceed with the
'l'urks to that expedition. The town was evacuat-
ed without refiflance. Some guns were then
brought to bear upon the Fort St. Julien, which
commands the entrance of the river. The garri-
fon of three hundred and fixty-eight men furrender-
ed on the 19th ult.
Rahmanich was Rill in the hands of the French.
They had fortified it, both in a view to fecure their
communications from the upper part of the Delta,
and Upper Egypt, whence they received their pro-
vifions.

Under thefe circum fiances, ('.en. HVTcHlwsow
has very much ftrengthened his pofition between
Aboukir and Alexandria, not only by a range of
works in front, but particularly by opening the
fluices which kept in the waters in the lake on the
left ; and if, as fs fuppofed, this inundation fhall
extend over the whole of the plain to the eaft of
the Lake of Mareotis, the communication betwein
Alexandria and )tahmanich, which is the enemy's
neareft point, will be eight or nine days journey
without water.

Having taken there meafures, General HUT
CRIMSON was to transfer his head-quarters to Re.
fetta on the 23d ultimo ; to which place he had
already:fent forward a ftrong detachment, amount.
ing to above four thoufand Britifh, including Co-
lonel STENCIL'S corps; and he was immediately
to proceed from thence, with nearly an equal
number of the CAPTAIN PACHA'S troops, againft
Ralunanich, where the French were underftood to
have afembled three thoufand men-
On the other hand advices had been received
faveral days before from the Giawo VIZIER, dat.
id at Belbeis, from which it appeared that his
Highnefs, reinforced by nearly five thoufand men
from DJIZZAR PACIIA, had Fafred the defart, and
had advanced fo far towards Cairo, without meet•
ing with oppofition either at Salahich or at Bel.
beis. He had alfo detached a corps which has'
taken poffeftion of the town of Damietta, though
the Fort ofl'Efbe is fill in the hands of the French.
It is not expeled that his Highnefs twill esperi.
ense any material refiftance at the town of Cairo.
And I find it is the determination of Gen. HUTCH.
mom to afford his Highnefs fuch aid as may be
requifite towards the attacking the fortifications
which the French occupy near to the town, if it is
neceifary to reduce them by force.

General HUTCHINSON has further received a fa-
vourable letter from MURAD Bs y, faying he is ready
to join us when we come into his neighbourhood.
I am happy to add thht our army arc in the
ligheft health and fpirits. The climate and west.
ther had hitherto been moil propitious. The na-
-1 tives had acquired the greateß degree of confidence
from the Proclamation iffued by our army, and
were continuing to bring in hones, And provifions
in great plenty. Nearly one thoufand of our ca
valry are now well mounted there; and we have Ilia
about eleven thoufand infantry in the field. The
utmoft degree of unanimity prevails between the
Britilh and Turkiih troops. (Signed) atom.
