Sir—My letter of the stb infant acquainted you.
for the information of their I.ordfhips, that the
embarkation of General BILLIARD'S corps was
carrying into execution with all puffible difpatcb;
but, on :account of the digficuky of getting forward
the immenfe quantity of baggage that they
brought with them from Cairo. the operation was
protrafted till the Bth. The (hips of war. as well
as the tract-ports, however, were direfted to pro-
ceed by divifions. The Ba••ext., with the fir(
failed on the ith ; the Inrcxxisii
nun, and Usesess. with the fecond on the 6th ;
and the Feminine and Pauses, with the lita,
on the toth, carrying with them between thirteen
and fourteen thoufand individuals of all &kno-
t tions. The army from Cairo moved on forthwith
I to the Camp before Alexandria ; and the General,
I who did me the honour of (pending Tome diys with
me while the embarkation of the French was go-.
ing on, refolved on tranfpotting by the Marconi.
to the weaward of Alexandria, a corps of about
five thoufand men, under the orders of Major-Ge-
neral Coors, to divide the enemy's force and at-
tention, to invef the town elofely on that foie. and
ent ilk all further hope of reinforcement or fup.
plies by land. On the t nth I proceeded with
Lieut.. Colonel AMSTROTusa, the Quarter-Mafia
General, to examine tha enemy's pofition on the
fide of the Lake, and the arength of the flotilla
that they had afetnbkd there ; and baring deer-
rained that their armed force could be eardy fob-
&Lied, and that a debarkation could be (-felted
with little or no 4iffi:ulty. the General determin-
ed to carry the meafure into immediate effeii ;
to Secure the landing from interruption, Captain
3TIVIRSQI of the Etrenro, who is continued in
the command ef the flotilla, was forthwith directed
to take a Ration in front of thetun boats and arm-
boats M hich the enemy had afembled on the
Lake, and drawn up in a line under the protefiion
of batteries thrown up for their defence, to keep
them in check till they could be (cited or dettroy-
ed. On the evening of the 16th, all the boats of
the (hips of war and traufporta in this bay were af-
fembled in the Mai eotis, with as many germs as
could be eollefted from the Nile. for the purpide
of receiving the troops. who were embus ked in the
night, and landed without oppofition the next
morning. under the fiaperintemianee of Captain
Fieriness Dia, confiderably further to the wed.
ward than was intended, the wind not admitting
of the boats reaching the fkore nearer to the town;
the enemy feting no profpeet left of laving their
armed boats, fet fire to them and blew them all up
in the cootie of this and the following day. except
two or three which have fallen into our bandit--

HULL, mid(hipman, and one teaman of the Ajar,

ceed .into the harbour under the direition of the
Honourable Capt. COCHRANE of the Ajax, (a

General. took up, and that occup'e I by our little
squadron, which had been foice reinforced by the
Duos, completed the blockade of the town. The
Rear-Admiral gives great cominenda I ns to t'ie
• Hon. Captain COCHRAN&' for the zealous and ju-
dicious manner in which he executed the service',
entruded to him. Soon after our (hips entered the

nixed chile up to an important potation which
the enemy teemed confcioua of being unable to de-
fend ; tent out on the evening of the 26th, propo.
fain fur an artninice of three days to arrange terms

In prohibition again/I CA THARINt WILICigLON and

This cafe came bcfore the Court on a demurrer
to :6 stelaration in prohibition. The quetkirin t.le
out of the will of a SufainA Pierce. This lady
being in potretrion of a large turn of money, 4.11:1
appointed Executrix by her brother, aho died in
the Eall ladies, received leave honi her hutbara

to make a teftament. She accordingly made one,
in which the difpofed of the property (be hati re-
duced into podellGon. In the year t 799 her hif-
band died, and the fureived him only as hours._
The Ecclefialtical Court granted a )im;ted paw
of the will, giving power to administer only the
tin:as over which her /turban,: had confront, and
which would have paired by the will, had he fur-
river! her. Someii-ne after an application was
made for a general probat, and her heirs at law
then applied for this prohibition.
Mr. Gies now argued in behalfof the Plaintiff,
in prohibition, and was prepared with a gre.,t many
calks to prove that the furvi yr): hip of the teilAttit
did nut extend the operation of the will ; but Lord
KEsirow exprelred great doubts as to the jurifelic-
tion of the Court in thi. matter. The teliatrix.
he faid, died in a teaable Rau: ; it WAS therefore
fur the Ecclefialtical Judge to lay, whether the
initrument propounded as Inch, was or was nut
her tettamentt Mr. GICHS'S argument went thus
chiefly to the. jurifdiaion, and he contended with
great ingenuity, that whether a general probat
(tumid be given of the will of a 1071 C fiAL, was a
matter of common law cognizance. The will he
Laid, was to be proved in the ecclefiaftical court,
but whether the was capable of making a will, was
to be determined in a court of common law.

Lord Krayom. in the progrefs of the cafe inti-
mated as his opinion—that the party dying Var.
it was exclufively fir the &cleft,'(Heal Cuurt to

he confidered the quellion as dear, but if upon
