This morning the Beagle brig a war nrrived form

gena.

The expedition has been cruising in fight of the
Rock, about fix or eight leagues to the E tilwaid,
ever fence the evening of the a Bth, when they left the
Bay to avoid being attacked by the enemy's gun-
boats. The danger mull have been ecernzd im-
minent, or the expedition would not have adopted this
mature ; for the Spaniards had (even or eight fail of
the line ready for fea at Carthagena, which might
have very much annoyed the fleet, had they received
intelligence of the tircurnltance, as the expeditimn
had only two frigates and two gun-brigs to pi-mat
them. The danger, however, will twin be over, for
the Beagle fpoke Sir ittcataao at fea, and he is hour-
ly expelled here.
The MFILIN and Hascrow arrived from a ernize
to the Weflward yefterday : the former in coming in
was attacked by three gun-boats under the batteries
at Tangiers, and had all her rigging cut to pieces ;
fortunately none of the crew were killed or wounded.

this place and Cadiz.
A vette' that came in here this morning report',
that the taw eight fail of the line, four frigates, and
ten tranfports, with troops on board, tome days ago,

Should this be true, it mull probably be the Car.

Alexandria, to lave our expedition the tiouble of
taking that place, which the enemy well know to be

• We have had so further confirmation of the report
of the French having fent a force to take polfellion of
Egypt ; fo that we are in hopes it may not be true,
though it has excited confiderable alarm here, as,
fine Lord •blat.sor quitted. Toulon, which is two
months ago, we have had no force till now in the
Mediterranwn, during all which time the enemy
might have fent as many men to that cottmry as thcy
could have found traniports to carry.

General Fox has been fo much indifpofed thefe
fome days pall, that all public bufinefs is tranlatled
by General paussaaosto, the fecond in command.
I am happy, however, to fay, that the Faculty do
ant think him is any kind of danger. His z.al and
exertions to promote the welfare and fecurity this
important garrifon are highly meritorious, and Ihould
the Date of his health make it necefrary for h;rn to re-
turn to England, it would be a difficult matter to
find a Commander to fill his place, as well qualified
in every reliseet as General Fox for fuch an impor•
