Ca np, Weft of Alexandria, Atizu ft 23.
Sir—Captain CocHRANE, with feven floops of
war, having entered into the weitern harbour of
Alexandria on the evening of the lift instant, and
.anchored on my left flank, I immediately deter-
mined to move forward, and take as advanced a
pofition near the town of Alexandria as prudence
and fecurity would permit.
The neceffary arrangements having been made
in the morning of the 22d, the troops advanced
againft the enemy, who was flrongly potted upon
a ridge of high hills, having his right flank fecur.
ed by two heavy gulls, and his left by two batter-
ies containing three more, with many field pikes
placed in the intervals of his line.

The army moved through the land hills in three
columns, the Guards forming two upon the right
near the lake, and Major-General LUDLOW'S bri-
gade the third upon the left, having the ft bat-
talion of the 27th regiment in advance ; Major-
General FINCH'S brigade compofed a referve,
and was defined to give its rapport wherever it
might be required.
In this manner, having our field artillery with
the advanced guard, the troops continued to move
forward with the greatelk coolnefs and regularity
under a very heavy fire of cannon and !'mall arms,
forcing the enemy to retreat contiandy before
them, and driving them to their prefent pofitiva
within the walls of Alexandria.

Major-Generals LUDLOW, Earl of CAVAN, and
FINCH, upon this, as upon all other occalions, have
given me all poffible fupport, and deferve every
commendation for the precifion aad regularity
with which they led on their refpative columns.
The exertions of the Captains commanding the
chips of war upon our left, and of the Officers
commanding the gun boats upon our right, were
attended with the bell effect ; their continued and
unremitting fire kept the enemy in check.
To Captain Coc HR AN I feel extremely obliged,
for his zeal and conflant readinefs to afford every
I:alliance in his power. Captain STEVENSON, who
commanded the gun boats upon the lake, alto
calls for my earnelt approbation of his condo&
Permit me, Sir, to repeat to you the intrepid
and gallant behaviour of the whole of the troops
during the affair of yefterday, which tailed from
fix until ten o'clock in the morning. Their bra-
very was only equalled by the cool and regular
manner in Which they advanced under a fevere
and heavy cannonade. Happy am Ito add that
out lots is only trifling, when compared to the
advantages we Lave gained, and the difficulties
we had to furmount in a country, which, at every
Rep, afforded the enemy the means of making the
Molt delperate reliftance.
The lofs of the enemy mull have been confider-
ably greater than ours. It is impoffible for me to
afcertain the numbers. Seven pieces of heavy ord-
nance were left behind by the French in the hurry
of their retreat, and have fallen into our hands.
I feel much indebted to Lieutenant-Colonel
DUNCAN, Q.2artermalter-General, for hi s judicious
arrangements, and for his condutt during the
whole of yeflerday ; he deferves my fincere thanks.

The Ipeedy and fortunate reduCtion of that poll

zeal and attention of Lieutenant-Colonel DAR ay.

covered the attack ; the very judicious manner in
which he polled the Light Company of that Corps,
who, by being placed on an adjoining rock, filenced
the guns by their mulkary, greatly accelerated
the tail of the Fort.
