The GRAND VIZIER is fine gone to Damafcus.

In order to facilitate the landing of the Englifh
in Syria and Egypt, the Porte had laid an embargo
on all foreign veffels at Smyrna, Selo, &c. to take
troops and provifions onboard, for the Englifh. The
Ruffian (hips alone declined this fervice. The Am
baffador from Algiers is irnprifoned here, in con-
fenuenceof that State's having concluded a peace
with France. The•embargo which has been laid
on the Chips of Algiers, &c. at Smyrna and other
ports, has 'eaufed great fenfation here. It is re-
ported here this day, that the French have obtain.
cd a vidorr over the Englifh, on the coafls of ST•
ria and Egypt, but no official accounts of that
CYCIIt have yet been received.

The Englifh Ambaffador here, Lord Mayo,
has received official intelligence, that General
ABIRCROMBY with the Englifh fleet, with 124
tranft>orts under its convoy, had arrived unex-
peitedly on the coaft of Egypt in the beginning of
January. The landing of the troops took place

The Englifh Ambaffador at Conflantinople,
Lord Eiont, has difpatched a courier to Lon-
don With a complete account of the fiiccefsful
landing of the troops under General ABERCROMar
in Egypt. They have been joined by the Turks,
who are preparing to aCt with vigour, and impor-
tant idvices may loon be expeCted from that
country.
Heavyartillerycontinues to be fent to Prefburgh,
and thence to the frontiers of Turkey, from which
circumftance tome politicians conclude, that a new
war may foon be ezpcaed to commence, though
others merely confider there meafures as adopted
from precaution againft the rebels in Turkey.

another note to Lord CAItTSVOILTp in which his

into by the Northern Courts as :t meafttre of 114-
tility againft herfelf, though its objeCt is merely
the proteetion of neutral trade. The note expa-
tiates on the impartiality and necelTity of the prin-
ciples which form the balls of the Northern Con-
vention, and enl.trges on the arbitrary abufe of
naval power. The note concludes by declaring,
that is Pruffia hls acceded to the Northern Con-
vention, fhe would fupport it agreeably to her
engagements ; and by expreffing a hope that the
jufliCe of his Britannic Majefty would take off the
embargo that had been laid on all Danith and

would be under the necreffity of employing the
means which PROVIDENCE had placed in his hands

TUNIS.

On board the Bons-Patriotes brig, Jan. if, 'Sot.

In confequence of the requeft you have made
to C. Mutts, to obtain information refpeaing
the army, I fhall tranfmit to you every thing I
know on the fubjea.
The veffels difpatched from France for Alexan-
dria, arrived there before our departure, being
twelve in number, laden with balls and mufkets,
and bringing good news.
In regard to the army of Egypt, I can allure
you, it is in good order, well clothed, well armed,
and well paid; no epidemicald ifeafe has prevailed
for a year pall ; the plague, laft year, occafioned
very little ravage ; we have loft no more than ;so
men by difeafe. The port of Alexandria was en-
tirely free, none of the enemy's vefels were emit-
ing before it. The Turks and the Englifh, who
had remained theri a long time, retired between
the 7th and 12th of Olober, and notwithftanding
their cruifers, veils were continually palling be.
tween Alexandria and Rofetta. Alexandria is in
a refpeaable Date of defence ; workmen were
daily employed in the fortifications, and more
than 4.00 pieces of cannon had been mounted.
Aboukir is alto well fortified, and better than it
ever was before. The fortifications of Cairo were
daily increafing, on all the furrounding mountains,
towers from which the foldiers can bring affiftance
in cafe of need, and where they are fheltered from
any fuddcn attack, have been built, and each little
fort is fupplied with water and provifions. Da-
mietta is alto fecured againft any defigns of the
enemy. In Upper Egypt we have been perfealy
quiet luxe the treaty of peace concluded between
General KIMILIt and MOVRAD Bey. The latter
faithfully obferves the conditions of the treaty, and
the belt underlianding prevails between him and
General DowziLor, who commands in Upper
Egypt.

When we left Alexandria, the army were ex-
peeing that a landing would be attempted by the
Englifh. But if fuch is their defign, they mull
concert their meafures with great prudence, for
they will find men ready to precis thcm. Our
foldiers are fo well accuftomed to the climate that
they march through the defarts better than the na-
tives. Our cavalry are well mounted, and our
artillery is in the heft Rate. Be affured, C. Com-
miffioner, that our troops will be highly gratified
to fee the Englifh near them t if they once land,
they Bauer themfelves that they will not Puffer
them to re-embark.

We met the Nile corvette, on her way to France,
having on board Officers charged with difpatches.

CITIZEN—The Pita Conful, uho has been in-
formed of your letter of the 3cth ult. and the pieces
inclofcd, has charged me to acquaint you that you
mull leave London and return to France.

In retiring, you will addrefs to the Britannic
Government a note in which you will exprefs your-
fell as follows :

“ The underfigned having communicated to his
Government the declaration of the Britifh Miniftry
announcing that the fifhermen will be captured,
And tvated like all the other vefrels of the enemy,
a declaration in confequence of which feveral
flitting barks and boats have been already carried
off.-I'he Firft Coati] thinks that if on the one
hand, this ad of the Britifh government, contrary
to all the nfages of civilized nations, and to the
common right by which they are guided, gives to
the prefent war a charafter of animofity and fury,
which dearoys even thole relations ufual in a war
carried on with loyalty ; it, is on the other
impoffible not to perceive that this conduit
of the Englifh government tends to ezaf-
perate more and more the two nations, and
to remove to a greater diftance the term of
peace ; that in confequence the underfigned can-
not remain longer in a country, where not only
every difpofition to peace is renounced, but where
the laws and ufages of war are difovrned and
violated.

M The underfigned then has received orders to
quit England, where his refidence is found to be
entirely ufelefs i and be is charged at the fame
time to declare, that it always having been the
