Copy of a letter OMNI the Honourable WILLIAM eOlll NW AL-
LI S, AdN'llVal of the Blue, kr. to EVAN NEPZ AN, Efq. dated
off Ughant, Auguft 31,1801.

Sir—l have the pleafure of tranfmitting to you,
for the information of my Lords Commiffioners
of the Admiralty, a letter from Captain M ARTIN,
of his Majefty's Ibip I'ISCARO, by which it ap-
pears the boats of that fhip, the DIAMOND, and
BOADICF have cut nut of Corunna a (hip of 2
guns, and other vcffels.
Lieutenant Pirmi, who commanded the boats,
feems to have conduacd the enterprife with much
gallantry and judgment; for although expofed to
a heavy fire from the batteries, yet the fuccefs was
acconiplifhed without any lots ; and the condud
of the officers and men who were with him merits
my warmeft approbation. I have the honour to
be, &c. (Signed) W. CORNWALLIS.

FIIIOARD,Mi 17(170i, Auguft 21:

Sir—l beg to inform you that laft night the
boats of his Majefty's Mips FISC ARD, DIA MOND,
and BOADICII A, attacked the veffels of the enemy
lying in the harbour of Corunna, and fucceeded in
bringing out el Nepttina, a new (hip, pierced for
twenty guns. belonging to his Catholic Majefty,
a gun-boat mounting a long thirty-two pounder,
and a merchant fhjp,which were moored within the
thong batteries that proteCt the port, and fo near
them that the fentinels on the ramparts challenged
our people, and immediately commenced a heavy
fire, but the prizes were towed out with a degree
of coolncfs and pet feverance that does infinite cre-
dit to the officers and men, and can only be
equalled by their condo& throughout the affair,
I (hould be very glad, if it were in my power to
do juftice to the merits of Lieutenant Pt row, who
direeted this enterprife with the moll becoming
fpirit and addrels ; but his fuccefs will, I truft,
fufficicntly recommend him to your approbation.
and the notice of my Lords Corn miflioners of the
Admiralty. (Signed) T. Be MAITIIIf.

AFFAIRS or Er:Ter.—On Saturday upwards of
6000 letters, brought from Egypt by the Sr ince
floop, were delivered from the Pothotfice. Let-
ters by this conveyance contain no intelligence of
importance, being dated previous to the fall of
Cairo. They reiterate the reports communicated
by way of Rhodes and Conliantinople, that the
garrifon of Alexandria was teverely prefred by
want, and that many of the inhabitants had been
expelled the city, and conducted in the - night
acrofs the old port to the neck of land which
forms the Lake Mareotis. The occafion of this
meafure is varioufly Hated • fome kaer, impting
it to a confpiracy amongdthe natives ;:t furren-
der the city to the Englifh; and others, with
more probability (confidering the firength of t:ic
garrifon),toa dare on the part of the Ft ge-
neral to reduce the confumption of
the removal of unnecetiary hank.
Some of there people have been conducted to
the Britith camp, and make the moll melancholy
reprefcntations of the fituation of the inhabitants
of Alexandria, who are delliture of every thing,
and from their fuppofed difaffeelion to the French,
treated by them with extreme indignity and op-
prellion. They (late the Republicans to he dif-
contented, and only held to theit duty by the ex-
palation of fuccour.
The French had coital-tided flrong batteries on
the bank of the inundation made by the Englifh,
and our people had in like manner lined the op-
polite Ihore. We have fume gun-boats on this
Lake, by means of which we could throw (hells
into Alexandria,but our Commanders have defilled
from ufing there yell-els. The ordinary depth of
water in this extenfive moat is about four feet ;
but it cannot be In drained for a long time as to
admit the convenient palrage of troops: and it is
apprehended that the fiege,fliould Mstiott have fuf.
ficient (applies to enable him to hold nut, will be
prolonged by the impediments which this inunda-
tion will prefent to our operations. .

The moat extends from the Lake Mareotis to
the fea, in the diration ilf Aboukir, within about
two miles of Alexandria, and on the eaftern point
runs dole to Cleopatra's Needle, which is w•it.'un
the French line.
Sir R. BICIE ORTON, with three fail of the line,
including le noes, on the t Bth of Jun:, rejoined
Lord KIITH off Alexandria. Sir R. MCI( [ILION,
on reaching his nation, fent a brig in (bore, when
our people were informed by the Arabs, that the
French had been there ten days before, and had
plundered them of every thing worth carrying off.
Our fleet, at the date- of there accounts, was
perfally healthy, and well fupplied with provi-
fions; and our army, poffetling a profufion of
every ncceflary, was much more healthy than
could have been ccpeacd from the nature of the
climate and fervice.
