A private letter from Conflantinople, of the agth
of July, contains the following more detailed par-
ticulars of the manner in which the news of the
fate of Cairo was received in that capital:
" On the 17th, in the morning, the Saleetar of
the Capitan Pacha, accompanied by a number of
Tartars who fct out from Egypt on the 3d, ar-
rived At thc Porte to announce the happy intelli-
gence of the furrender of Cairo. Never did any
event create Inch a fenfit ion. It was immediately
announced to the inhabitants by the artillery of
the Seraglio of Sophara, and of all the forts and
batteries in the harbour, as far even as the mouth
of the Bofphorus: The GRAND SEIGNIOR hirnfelf
appeared in the flreets to thew himfelf to the pco-
ple, who loaded him with benedidions, and fought
every means of teflifying their joy. The govern-
ment %%jibing to give a 1611 more ftriking and de-
cifive proof of the importance which it attaches to
the capture of Cairo, invited Lord Ecciw to pay
a vifit to the Porte. This Amballador was, ac-
cordingly, on the Goth of this month, condueled
thither with great pomp, in the midfi of an im-
menfe crowd, who lined the fireets as he paired
along. When he vifited the Caimakan, this IA
expxeffed to him in the name of the Grand Seig-
nior, the lively fatisfaElion which the fortunate
event had excited in his mind, and his gratitude
to his Britannic Majefly, to the Englifh nation,
and to the brave troops who had given fuck ef-
fe&ual Alliance in the deliverance of Egypt. The
Rats Et FFI4DI then took out front a cafe a fuperb
aigrette, dellined by the SULTAN as a prefcnt to
Lord ELGIN, which he bound upon his hat. He
was clothed with a pelife of zihelline, and received
a pretest of a horfe richly caparifoned. Seven pe-
tiles of famour, three of et mine, and a quantity of
kerekets and fattouts were diltributcd among his
fuitc."

A very fingular and extremely ufeful invention
has jult been or ought forward—a pump capable of
dila:it-ging every thing that can pi-glibly get into
it, without danger of being choked, and, at the
fame time, inflantaneoutly convertible into a Fre En-
ine. It is none of its fmalleft recommendations
that the pilton leathers will latt for many years ;
and its fimplicity and durability, with the little
power required to work it, cannot fail to TCCOM•
mend it, out only for all the commim purpofes to
which pumps are applied, but particularly for !hips
cart' tug c..in, naval ilorec, or inch article. as are
apt to choke ~r injure other pumps, and wherever
there is a poflible iiique of fire. The pump, we un-
