NAPLES, MAY 6.

Letters from Malta, of the z4th ult. rnenti,,o, that
the Englifb have been defeated in Egypt. An crdet,
it is Paid, was in confequence fent to Sicily, that all
the difpofahle force.thete fhould be immediAttly em•
barked for Egypt.

TRIESTF, MAY to.

The unfortunateCtiati..r, of r ur portbecomes daily
worfe, intlead of better. Srrce the late tranfaaions
near Conitantinople and the Dardanelles, the Englifh
have declared all the ports of the Levant in a Nate
of blockade ; and tbe day before yeflerday we receiv-
ed intelligence, that two of our vaffels, which failed
for Smyrna under the Anfirian flag, were taken and
carried into Malta. The Ruffian and Englilh frigates
"foffer no merchant veffels &lived for the ports oc-
cupied by the French to pah. Our city is conk-
guently in as difagreeable a fituatiQn as Venice is,
•and its trade by fea is in a (late of total flagnation.
There are a great number of veffels in the harbour,
but they dare not attempt to put to fea.

HAMBURGH. JUNE 3.
We have accounts from Pillau as late as the 3oth
ulr. The Garrifon of Dantzic have not been made
prifoners of war, bet difmilred on parole, not to do
duty within a year. The Garrifon of Weichfelmunde
(computed to confitl of about 34+00 men), however,'
has forrendered at difcretion. That of New Fahr-
wailer, from 3 to +coo men, have embarked and
efc a ped.
The King of Sweden has given orders to take all
Lubec veffels in the Baltic. Of five or fix which were
detained in Swedifh ports, two have efcaped and gone
to Lubec ; a circumflance which will rather lead to
more (vino' confequences, and perhaps bring on a
blockade of the pit ; the more fo, as the French im-
mediately feixed the Swedifh failors who were on
board the (hips. By feveral of there Lubec veffel,,
about 40,000 ducats have been Chipped to St. Petal-
burgh or itiga.

but the Commandant of Fort Johniitn addrcired a
letter to the commanding officer of raid veffel, of
which the following is a copy :

in contempt of the laid proclamation, my duty corn
